BANK&UPTCY.

Provisions of the Proposed Bankrupt Law.
WASHINGTON. March 6.--The Senate Ju-
dietary Committee to-day reported bill TO
establish uniform system of bankruptcy,
and it will be called up Tor consideration as
soon as the pending order is disposed of. IL
provides that whenever any person without
fraud shall become involved in debts and
liabilities beyond his meaRs OF payment,
amounting to $500 and upwards, he may
apply by petition in equity 10 the United
States District Court, setting forth the cause
of insolvency and giving schedule OF l;abil-
tiles and assets, and may surrender his
estate for the benefit of creditors, except
tion; and ii good cause appears, the Courts
shall adjudge him bankrupt. and appoint q
receiver, and serve notice 10 all interested
persons, end distribute the estate according
10 the rules of equity; and If there was no
fraud the petitioner shall De discharged RS a
bankrupt; that when g. person runs away,
-O- .ahsents or cOnceals himself, or makes a
fraudulent transfer OK property, etc, or
otherwise attempts to defraud creditors, the
latter may file q petitiGE Tor bankrupt pro-
ceediDgs against him.
insolvency shall exist only when the
debtors Liabilities exceed the value of his
property. Powers 10 extend time or stay
proceedings are conferred upon the Court
ANY conveyance, transfer or payments
made and received of bankruptcy, may be
set aside if fOund to hecontrary To the Just
rights OF other creditors, but money OBJ
tanned and used in good faith, though un-
successfully, to avert an impending bank
rupscy, or to save a threatened sacrifice of
property, or sickness or other like necessity,
may be preferred in payment, or in security
by the Court. If it appears that any creditor
has oppressiyely sought TO force the debtor
into bankruptcy or to obtain any fraudulent
advantage over ether creditors. the Court
may deny such creditor participation in the
estate. District Courts shall be considered
as always open for the consid erationOf bank
rupt Business, and all regElar bankrupt ousi
ness shall have precedence.

THE GREATEST DISASTER EVER KNOWN.
NEW ORLEANS, March 6.-The Picayune's
Greenviile Miss. special says: THE back
water still is rising and spreading now from
SIX inches to foot higher than any previous
overflow since the country was first settled
There seems to be very little land
above water from the river front places
to the hills beyond the Yazoo River
Greenyille is probably secure from any
overflow through the low points which
were long time threatened. Refugees from
the OyerfOwed plantations are coDgregating
mere, and our resources 10 feed and shelter
them will be severely taxed. So far
the relief agents have not committed with
our local authorities. Our Board OF Super
vision have asked that some of the Govern
ment rations be sent here.
The Sheriff of Bolivar County has lodged
his prisoners in Jail here. He reports very
few plantations in his County with a step Of
land above water, consequently the
loss of stock there viii be almost
total. The leyees are thronged with
negroes and stock, whose condition
is mos, deplorable. As its extent becomes
known, this calamity begins to appal. Tax
sufficient to rebkild the leyees above would
be almost insupportabie but that it is only
an item. Laborers hove lost their stock
and moneables. and are panic stricken and
in demoralized condition. Could trans
portation be secured there would be an ex-
odus from here to the hills. The despond-
ency of planters and merchants is deepen
ing. At first this blow was regarded
as disaster involving losses and
hard times, now il is assuming grayer and
crater proportions. The most thoughtful,
as well as the most sanguine, look upon it
as a disaster greater than has ever before
befallen the bottom country. Ii will
almost destroy the feeling of security
with which our local capacity TO hold the
leyee was becoming regarded. Upon this
reliance was based railroad and other
movements of capital toward the
Iazoo Delta and If il goes
all possible prosperity OF this section goes
with it," The correspondent does not be-
lieve confidence or hope can be restored
without National help 10 build leyees.

THREE or A KIND.
The Weeks Failures.

NEW YORK, March 3.-R. G.. Dun Il CO., of
the Mercantile Agency, report business fail
ures Tor the week throughout the country at
1877 against 12S last week. Eastern States
furnished eleven; Western, forty-five; South
ern, thirty-nine; Middle, twenty-nine: Pa
citic Coast and Territories, six, and New
York City seven. In the city of New York
the most important failure is that of Cazade,
Crooks Il Raymond. who have liabilities of
several hundred thousand dollars, mostly
abroad. The disaster is said TO have been
caused remotely by the collapse of the Union
Generate, of Paris. and the contraction of
continental banking facilities resulting
therefrom.
The decline in the volume OF business, de-
vastatiDg floods in the Southwest and sew
eral important failures have combined to
cause feeling OF apprehension as to the
healthfulneSs of trade IN general. Large
losses arising from hazardous speculation and
resulting in n decline in values, contributed
to feeling OF uncertainty. and the week has
not been a very comfortable one To the trade
ing community generally. Nevertheless,
there are no indications that the legitimate
trade of the country is less safe than before,
or that the ability TO ABSORB, consume and
pay for all goods purchased need be ques-
toned. The reports as to crops in the West
and Northwest are unanimously good, and
the spring demand for merchandise Is open
ing up very satisfactorily.
