IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
A Humane Amendment to = Cruel Law
Of the State of New York.

A Humane Amendment to q Cruel Law
of the State of New York.
New York has not for many years
been disgraced by the existence of a
law authorizing imprisonment for deb,
pure and simple, but it has been within
the discretion of the courts to punish
alleged fraudulent debtors by an un-
limited term of Imprisonment. A bill
was passed by the last Legislature OF
that State, which, by the approval OF
the Governor. has just become a law,
limiting imprisonment for debt in civil
actions to period of six months. The
effect of this humane amendment to
the old statute will be to set at liberty
a large number of imprisoned debtors
throughout the State, who have been
incarccrated for varying periods.
The eases of some of these ''poor
debtors" are such as to appeal strongly
to the sense of justice and humanity,
and the wonder is that the undue Sc
verify of the law was not long since
abated- The case of Augustine r. Nc
Donald, who has been lying in Ludlow
street Jail, New York City, for more
than eight years past, is one of this
kind 1t appears that in 1873 Melon
aid received an award from the Gov
eminent of $2OO.OOO for cotton de-
stroycd by the Federal troops during
the war of the rebellion. To Sc
cure this result he had expended
among the lawyers and lobbyists
of Washington about half the award,
and, with what remained, had gone to
New York City and embarked in a sue
cessful brokerage business. Soon
afterward he was arrested for nom
payment of a Judgment of $4,000 in
favor of firm of Washington lobby
lists, whom he had never employed and
never had heard of until confronted by
the Judgment. which had been OBJ
tanned by default and without any
notice to him. Being unable to furnish
bail. he was thrust into Jail, where he
would doubtless have remained until
his death but for the timely passage of
the law referred to. As il is, he goes
out of prison broken-down old man
OF sixty. to be dependent for the rest of
his life upon the charity of relatives.
1t seems strange indeed that case of
such hardship should. for so long q
time, have passed unnoticed. yet it is
said tLat he appealed to the courts
time and again for trial of the case
On its merits. tut without success. At
last the matter came to the notice of
some humane gentleman. who used e
with good effect in procuring an
of the law.
New York is one among the few
States that have adhered to the old
idea of fUprisoning men who coald not
pay their debts, and it is an agreeable
thing to note this last change which
robs the law OF much of the Old-tlmc
harshness and ckaelty.-cHica2c Jour

That the en- gagement resulted in the rout of the hostiles and the loss of several of their horses. No Indians were killed so far as known. Tthe celerity with which the Apaches retreated baffied pursuit, and the Commander of the forces was forced to abandon it. Abort dark however, the same evening while the troops were proceeding leisurely along, they suddenly were met by murder ous fire from She Apaches, who had circled round and ambushed thein Six of the troops were killed, and sey- eral wounded, with the additional re- suit that the Indians recovered all the stock lost by them in thd first fight and captured several head of horses from the troops.
