NHw YORK, April 25.-The Herald prints
three columns Of opinions of Albany Assem-
blymen on the Utica Convention, and sars
there Is substantially . unanimous agree.
ment that the convention has dealt q politi-
cal blow to Blaine. As to its effect upon
Arthurs chances at Chicago, there is diff
ference Of opinion.
The Times still contends that Blaine's
chances are very much the same a they
were before the convention, with the excep-
ton that bis supporters are di.hesrtened.
As for Arthur's destruction, which has been
gayly inferred from the doings of the con-
vsntion, IL Is the fiction Of senguine imagi-
nation. IL 10 certain that he will send to
Chicago At least thirty four delegates of his
own choosing from the Congressional Dis
tricts, the four delegates At large elected by
bis friends, and 10 one knows how many
more District delegates now nominally un-
pledged are ready TO betray their constItu-
ents.
PHILADELPHIA, April %. The Press
figures Blaine an increase OF fifty nine votes
In New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, over
his votes from these States In the last Ma
tional Convention.

THE BANKRUPTCY MEASURE.

We publish In this issue the new Bankrupt
bill - 1t passed the Senate q few days ago
80 to Is. 1t Is not by suy means certain that
It will become . law speedily, II At all, Is
there are over one hundred Senate bills
taking precedence Of 1t now on the Speakers
table In the House; but, as It Is q combina-
ton measure, - the country generally ap-
pears TO demand some character Of bank
rupt law, and rs this passed by decided ma
jority IL 10 reasonable to anticipate that be-
fore the session ends . law not differing ss-
sentially from the Senate bill will be
enacted. There has been strong objection
made that this bill does not limit the mini
mum Of assets debtor must have to avail
himself Of Ito benefits, and while At first
glance It may seem absurd that man must
have In assets . certain large percentage Of
his liabilities before he can break up legally
and respectfully, 1t is nevertheless fact that
unless some restriction Of this nature Is in
cluded there are likel; too many persons to
svail themselves Of the opportunity, to d.
vest themselves Of financial responsibility by
disreputable methods. It 10 also objected
that the conditions precedent to release are
severely stringent and while debtor may
readily get into bankruptcy 1t Is very difficult
to get out. Although opinion II very much
divided on nearly every feature OF any bank.
rupt law proposed, and 1t 10 . very knotty
problem TO deal with, 1t seems to us only
reasonable that there should be some bank
rups law, some method of not too long pro-
baton, whereby an unfortunate business
man who has gone to the wall, yielded up
honestly TO his creditors, maintained bis In
tegrity and desires TO try again the battle Of
business life, should have ole &C, res wiped
out and BE- given IN opportunity for another
trial. II II difficult TO prevent abuses, but II
10 better to endure even these In the excep-
tional casss where they will occur than TO
put the necks Of every unfortunate business
man under fence that will choke him ofr
until the years Of his business ambition and
activity have passed. Many . stately ves-
ssl owes IT. safety In avoiding rocks where
more venturous bulls were rivsn. to the very
fact Of their wreckage; and, 90, many sue.
csssful business men owe debts that do not
appear on their ledgen to others less fortu-
nate. A ships have sailed again that had
suffered from disaster, 20 have business men
achieved success after embarrassment, and
Il 10 not moro worthy to aid . vessel in the
breakers than TO assist In guiding again to
The smooth waters Of prosperity those whom
storm and tide have beached In business
ventures.

The County Commissioners, at their ses.
sion this week, accepted bids TO the full
amount for the funding Of outstanding
warrants at par, and will call In all warrants
by June Let. These bids were ell made by
our own people.
In the Court House building matter two
bids were made, one by Mr.. McPherson, OF
Butte, for 200, and one by McDevitt a.
Mcconnell, Of Butte, for $4,000. The latter
was accepted, conditioned upon Judge Gal
brsith's deciding In the agreed case that
authority vests In the Com missionsrs " con
struct the same under existing circumstances
without submitting the question to gene raj
vote OF the county. The Commissioners are
10 pay the contractors S25, 900 cash; the bal
apcs In county warrants at par. The pay
ments are 10 be made Is the work progresses,
twenty live per cent. Of tho amount being Al
oil times reserved until the building Is COM
pleted and accepted. The contractors are to
make good and sufficient bond that the
entire work will be completed on or before
Dec. 4th. Mr.. j. r. Roberts, who drew the
plans and specifications, 10 retained by the
Commissioners a. experimenting architect
for the construction of the building, his en-
tire compensation TO be 81, $50. The architect
and contractors are tho same who built the
Butte Court House. From the above IL will
be seen that the entire amount of cost of the
proposed Court House, including plans, spe-
ci6cations, and superlntendence for the
county by al architect of recognized cspa-
bility, Is $40, 400 In cash and warrants. The
changes made from the original plans in
cluded . better quality Of tin on tho roof
and some alterations In the basement, and
are included In the contract.
The formal opposition TO the measure has
BEEN represented before the Commissioners
by Morgan Evans, Esq, and W. W. Dixon,
ESQ.,, appears as attorney for Mr.. Evans and
others. District Attorney Pemberton and

FROM the Watervilie, n. Y, Reporter
We take the following article, which is
fairly descriptive of the whole Eastern
region:
The growing crop has had hot, forcing
weather for several days. The growth
in two weeks has been very rapid. and
healthy yards now bid fair TO yield
equally as well as last year. Saturday
we visited many yards In Marshall We
found them generally looking fair.
Humphreys are looking verv fne. John
Yale i Son have yard of Palmer seed
lines in blossom. and occasionally bios
SONS are seen on the Humphreys and in
two instances on the Casters This is
ten days earlier than usual. On the
Hanover farm all the yards look well
with the exception of one young yard.
which was set back by the frost. We
examined closely for lice, but could find
none. Fly were quite thick, however.
and the workmen said that grubs were
at work some. While these yards look
fairly and better than the average this
year. they do not look quite so heavy as
last year. Between here and Hartford,
over Paris Hill, yards are very uneven,
and there are many poor yards inter.
spersed among a few fine ones. The
outlook on this route is for lighter
crop than last year. From New Hart
ford to Clark's Mills, and in Westmore-
land, hops as rule look very poor. Ehis
route d .es not pass through heavy hop
raising section. bat there are some
yards. In Westmoreland We found a
few lice. Between Clark's Mills and
Watervills the hors look poor until
Clinton is passed, when they improve.
As We remarked at the beginning, many
healthy yards are lux1riant, and being
at the tops of the piles, with splendid
strong vines, will do as well or perhaps
better than last year; but sush yards are
the exception rather than the rule, and
the average, we should jadgs, would
pick from 100 to 200 pounds per acre less
than last year.

A PLEASANT PLAcE.-A most pleasant
place to visit is Lawton's nursery, To-
Gated on Mill street, one mile east of
Yesler's wharf. Here Mr.. Lawton has
a five acre tract laid out nicely, and
covered with growth of the choicest
plants, flowers and shrubbery. Mr..
Lawton had charge of the botanical
garden in Washington for several years,
and is fully enabled by life of expert
ence to cultivate plants and flowers to
their utmost richness and beauty.
Connected with the nursery are several
glass hot houses where choice plants are
kept in blossom both summer and win
ter. During the present season MIR.
Lawton has erected a very neat two
story residence on the south end of his
grounds. with a csneHt floor basement
and brick foundation. The house is
hard-fnished throughout, and supplied
with many conveniences. Almost every
day this nursery is visited by parties of
ladies and gentlemen in quest of how-
ers or plants.
