MANKAro, Mimi, March 10.-Our city was
boaored to-day with visit from several of st.
Paul honored and substantial citizens, to con
summste one of the many missions OF gener-
osity and kindness for which your capital city
5 50 deservedly popular. Col. A. Allen, Capt.
J. II Reaney, VIM. A. Van Slyke and Fred. s.
Swisher we're here as representatives OF Damas-
Gus Com mandery and the Masonic fraternity
in general of st. Paul, to formally present to
the family of the late E. NJ. Slower substan-
tiai evidence of their sympathy. A pleasantly
located dwelling house in our city was pur-
chased by these gentlemen with funds contrib
uted by the Masonic fraternity OF st.
Paul, and complete title made to Mr..
Stower's family, at an expense of $500, and
accompanying it was certificate of deposit
for $500 more, placed in one of our banks 10
their creqit. The generous undertaking was
conceived and carried out by DAM
ascus commandery, literally aided by the other
Masonic bodies of your city.
The family had had no Intimation of the
object of the visit, and it was therefore very
pleasant surprise. The committee visited the
family this morning, and in q few brief SYM
pathetic remarks by Col. Allen the object OF
their visit was made known. Mrs. Slower ap-
preciates the generous kindness of her st. Paul
friends, and ia feeling manner expressed
her gratitude. The dwelling might be put in
complete repair, and snch little convenlences
"a are necessary TO the comfort of the family
will be made by the Masonic fraternity of
Mankato before it is occupied.
The whole affair was conducted in an uuos-
tentatious manner, and SO quietly that little
was known of the mission OF these gentlemen
outside the fraternity of your city. 1t was
most generous act, worthily bestowed, and
demonstrates to the outside world the good
purposes and real objects of the mystic brother

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.

The bankruptcy bill, reported to the
senate from the judiciary committee, on
last Monday, will add new interest to the
question in business circles, and no doubt
occasion no little adverse criticism. The
committee has evidently, in digesting the
bill reported, eliminated from it the main
features of the Lowell and other bills,
whose provisions gave very general
satisfaction in mercantile circles.
The bill reported to the Senate is largely
in its provisions proceeding in equity.
For registers and assignees a receiver is
substituted, who takes charge of and
winds up an estate on a plan similar to
that practiced in our local common law
courts having Jurisdiction of the esta ties
of deceased persons, leaving the details
and question of fees to be determined by
the court under schedule for the lat
ter to be established by the Supreme
Court. The act fixes the amount of liza.
bility necessary to filing petition under
its provisions at five hundred dollars, ard
provides that a majority of creditors in
number and amount may, in cases of
fraud, throw the creditor into bankrupt
CIV. The bill is drawn with marked care
for the debtor class, and, on this account,
will not be- looked on with favor in
strictly mercantile communities. There
is no doubt, however, that its prac-
tical workings will result in
saving to the parties in interest large
share Eof the estate which has hereto
fore gone to the assignee under allow
ances made by registers, approved by
the district courts.
Provision is made for the recovery Of
property conveyed with the view of 60
ing into bankruptcy, but the rights of
the bankrupt are protected where he is
able to show that he acted IN good faith.
Debts contracted in good faith to avert inn.
pending bankruptcy, although unsuccess-
full, or for sickness OF other necessary ex-
penditure, are made preferred claims.
Section two of the law makes the act
of leaving the State by the debtor to
avoid his creditors or the process of the
courts, or failure to give bail in civil
action, within twenty days, or dissolve
an attachment against his property for a
like period; failure to satisfy a judy
ment for sixty days where no stay of exc
cution has been taken; giving preference
to creditors by assignment, or suspending
business for sixty days without satisfying
all llabilities-suficient grounds to au-
thorize creditors to force the debtor into
bankruptcy.
The court is vested, uuder the law,
with ample power to extend the time for
