I1TIoYAL nANKRurrCY LAW.


A Meeting Of Prominent Boston aer.
chants I o Urge Its AdOptIon-some
Points In II Proposed Law.
BosroS, January 10.-A strong move
ment in the direction Of the enactment Of
a national bankrupt law was made by
Boston merchants to-day. The Boston
Merchants Association, the New England
Shoe and Leather Association, aud the
Boston Grocers' Association received the
report OF a committee, appointed some
time ago, adopted it, appointed John
stillson, a prominent dry goods commits
sion merchant, to advocate 1t at Washing
ton, and instructed the committee to cor
respond with mercantile associations
throughout the country, urging the neces'
sity OF an immediate enactment OF a ma
tional bankrupt Law. The principal pro-
visions OF the proposed law are the a6ol'
ishment OF fees to officers oil all kinds,
fixed salaries taking their places, and the
immediate discharge OF blameless debtors,
both OF which are something never before
attempted.
A new feature in the United States Is
the provision that the discharge in bank
ruptcy may be had when the estate Is CLOS
ed, regardless OF the dividend realized, by
the consent OF fonr-tenths OF his creditors
in number and value, and certificates from
either the Judge or Register that he has,
during the settlement OF his estate, been
Ioyal 10 his creditors interests th%ereinran
otherwise acted with honesty and good
faith in all the matters OF his bankruptcy.
Another new provision in this country is
the following, relative 10 Supervisors:
Their powers and duties shall be subStan'
tally The same as the Controller under the
bankruptcy act OF 1859, in England, but
with enlarged powers and more active du'
ties. Instead Of an official dignitary, FIX,
ed in a central office to examine official
reports, he shall be a constant investigator
OF the registers, clerks, and assignees, and
the original orders and accounts from
which their official reports are construct
ed. Every three months the as,
signees shall report to the Register
such details Of information as the Super
visor's regulation blanks requires. The
Registers shall deliver the clerks such d.
gests OF all assignees' reports as the super
yisor's regulation blanks require, and the
clerks shall transmit TO Supervisors such
dipests oil the Registers report as are re-
quired by the Supervisor blanks. Then.
as often as once in every three months,
the Supervisor shall make official visits OF
examination, inquiry, and conference to
each Register and clerk within his district,
also to any assignee or Committee OF d.
rectors whose administration OF any par
ticular estate shall not be satisfactorily
shown by the ~assignee's quarterly. report
to the Register. The Supervisor Of all the
dristricts shall meet once each year in
convention, as the National Board Of
Bankruptcy Supervisors. The main OBJ
ject OF this annual meeting shall be 10 ar.
range and perfect Uniform systems OF
work throughout all the districts, and Gre
ate and maintain due interest in the same.
The number Of Supervisors shall be the
smallest practicable, nev more than M
to any one judicial district.

In a case pending in the Court of APP
peals tried before a special judge appoint
ed by the members Of the bar practicing
in the Court, under the act Of IA, Novem-
Der, 1873, entitled IAN act to provide for
holding Circuit Courts, where from any
cause the Judge shall fail to attend, or il
in attendance cannot properly preside"
one OF the errors assigned is that a list Of
attorneys practicing in the Court had not
been made out in the Court in which the
case was tried according to the Sth sec
ton OF said act, which provides that the
clerks OF the Circuit Courts shall at each
term thereof make out under the direc.
tons OF the Court, and enter in a book to
be kept for that purpose, q list OF attorneys
at law, residents OF this State and practice
ing in said Courts, and only such attor-
neys as appear or such Lists, shall be au-
thorized toappoint persons to hold terms
OF Courts under the provisions OF the first
section OF the act" This is a very impor-
.tant act, passed in pursuance Of the re.
quirements OF the Constitution OF the
State to prevent failure Of the holding OF
Circuit Courts and to prevent delays in
transacting the. business OF said Courts,
and is doing much good, ! understand, in
some sections OF the State to prevent the
delays Of the law. 1t is to be hoped that
the omission alleged in the assignment OF
errors did not occur, and l presume did
not, for ] am somewhat familiar with
many OF tie judges, and from their able
and vigilant discharge of their duties, l
would not suppose the provisions Of this
law would escape their attention; that II it
did, it would be accidental, and occur but
once.
Ihope you will insert this communica.
ton in your paper, in order to call the at
tention Of the judges and clerks to the re.
Quirement OF the law, in order that no
omission will hereafter occur, il one has
heretofore happened.

The cotton crop is larger by bali mil

TIE Western correspondent of the
Country Gentleman gives an account oil ooV

crop was "neyer SO uniformly promising,
taking the entire wheat belt together"
The Canton (o.) Repository says that
"the year 1880 opens splendidly for the
wheat crop in Ohio. There was never a
better prospect for a full crop. 1t Is sale
to say that there is very poor prospect

other things that could not be printed in

There were present and participating

delegations, Greenback men, Nationals,

present were finally refused the privilege
Of participating in the Chicago Conven.

dealt with, in spite OF their strong pro.
