a DIsorderly House,

The present House of Representatives. will
probably outrauk auy of its predecessors in the
amount of noise and confusion which prevails
during its ordinary business session. Out
siders have been more rigidy excluded during
the present. session than ever before, but IL
has only served to show that thoy were not
responsible for tile disorder which has always,
though not to so great au extent AS now, pre-
vailed.
Whenever nm exciting debate occurs, mem
bcrs leave their seats in tho rear and crowd
up near tho Speak cr's desk 10 hear tho debate,
and when nothing to attract special attention
Is going on, members gather in groups all
about, and engage in loud and often bOisturous
conversations, making it impossible for the
member addressing the House to be heard.
The disorderly conduct of the House was
commented upon during tho carly part of the
session, but the assurance was given that the
body was in sort of transition statc that the
old rules, which were about to DO abandoned
could not be rigidly enforced but that
when the new rules were adopted order would
come out of chaos.
The new rules have been in forco for several
weeks and seem to have made no improve
meut so far us relates to the preservation of
order. On the contrary, they seem TO increase
the confusion through Il want of unanimity rs o
their construction. There has boon scarcely u
day upon which there does not arise SOME ques.
tion as to the construction of the rules, where.
upon number of indi ividuals, anxious to be con.
sidered pariameutarians, rush to the front all
anxious TO cmlighten tho mind of the Speaker,
and, u hall dozon speaking Mt the samo time
succeed in creating iirst-class upronr aud

THE PROPOSED BANKRUPT LAW

We have received copy of Judge Low.
ellis bankrupt law, and few words in
regard to it will doubtless be of interest to
the merchants of Cairo. The necessity of
national bankrupt law is very generally
recognized In the large cities, particu-
larly, merchants who sell goods in all Sec
tons Of the country, demand a uniform
law for the collection and distribution of
the assets of bankrupts. They cannot
depend upon the uncertain and
inefficient insolvent laws of the
different states. Indeed, they have
neither the time nor the inclination to
make themselves acquainted with them.
These laws are often very unjust and dis
criminate against creditors outside of the
state. What IS wanted is law that puts
all creditors upon an equal footing, and by
authority of which bankrupt estates can be
settled speedily and inexpenslvely, Such a
law is provided by Judge Lowell's bill now
before congress. This bill, which was in
troduced at the last session of congress, has
been greatly modified and improved, and
its passage will be strongly urged
this winter. The old bankrupt law
was repealed not because there was
any particular opposition to bankrupt
law, but because that law had so many OBJ
iectionablc features. When bankrupt es-
tate got into the bankrupt court, it gen
orally stayed there until it was consumed
by the fees. Of course, neither creditors
nor debtors had any use for law that
benefited no one except its administrators
and the lawyers. Judge Lowclls bill avoids
the objections which were raised to the
former act. AS far as possible
small salaries are paid, and when
fees are allowed they are so limit.
