DIR. Hawthorne Leaves His Atlanta Con-
greg alton.
There VS. a remarkable scene at the
First Baptist church Sunday" says the
Atlanta Journal. 1T was the occasion
of DR.. Hawthorne's farewell sermon to Il
CONGREGATION he mad served for twelve
years. A more Impressive demons-ra-
ton OF regard and affection for man Is
seldom witnessed. The church was
crowded to its utmost capacity and hun
dreds Of people tried in vain TO gain ad-
mission.
"Dr. Hawthorno'S sermon touched the
hearts Of the vast congregation, and az
its conclusion the regret that has per-
yaded the community ever since IL was
announced that he would leave Atlanta
was deeper than ever. At the conclusion
Of the services, when the people crowds
cd about Dr.. Hawthorne TO say goodbye
there We're few dry eyes in the house.
'Dr. Hawthorne will be honored where
ever he may 60 but we doubt If he will
ever receive any demonstration which he
can remember more fOndiy than he will

"a cordial welcome awaits DR.. Haw-
thorne IN Nashville. We are sure that
no Will be power for cool IN that city

Of the people Of Atlanta. His career IN
Nashville win be watched from Atlanta

WE HOPE THE SENATE WILL STAND
FIRM.

The Senate and the House of Represen-
tatives seem 10 have come to a deadlock
on the question of whether this Congress

battleships or only two. the House con-
tending for four and the Senate refusing
to consent to but two. We hope the

announced that 1t was opposed TO our

ton only confirms us IN this opinion. We
are perfectly satisfied that II this coun-

would have been calamity 70 the human

A BANKRUPT ACT.

The House OF Representatives has pass
ed a bankruptcy hnl. and. II 1t passes
the Senate we shall again have a law
providing for the payment Of debts with
out payment The countrys experience
with the last acn made the very name
of bankruptcy olious, and II is TO be
hoped that sufficient use has been made
OF our sinister experience under that act
20 save Us from some. at least, of the
malodorous spectacles which we then wit
messed. We suppose It is hardly possible
TO have a bankruptcy act so administered
as to be wholly free from scandals. though
the English have a system that seems TO
remain always in force, and we do not
hear much Of scandals IN the enforcement
OF IT.
The bill mat has passed the House
provides for both voluntary and involun-
tary bankruptcy. 1t has been always
very much questioned whether the Const-
tuition. in providing thar Congress might
pass bankrupt laws. intended to author
ise a law for discharging man from
his debts upon his own petition, but we
have had several of such laws which
remained In force long enough for many
thousands to free themselves from debt,
and the precedents thus set WILL we
suppose. efrectYeilv close the question il
any onc should ever attempt 10 raise 4.
before the Supreme Court Of the United
States. our experience teaches us THAI
such law is the fruitful parent OF inf
mite fraud and robbery. but it is now too
late We expec- 10 raise any argument
against its validity.
The curious thing 70 US, though, Is the
fact that for years there have been dele
gxHons Of commercial bodies attending
on the sittings of Congress and praying
It to pass first the Lowell and then the
Torrey bill. both OF which proyided Tor
voluntary bankruptcy. Thal commercial
body should wish a bankrupt act that
provided for involuntary bankruptcy is
perfectly Ineligible. The theory OF such
law is thaa when a rascal has cheated
some one the latter may pursue him with
the most summary process, sequeStrate
everything he has. and place it In the
hands Of a supposedly Impartial person
called the assignee" and have their as
sets divided out ratably amongst all
the creditors. Ii IS perfectly natural thai
commercial bodies should be IN favor OF
Guch a law as this But the theory or the
voluntary bankruptcy IS that a rascal

debts. though he may have converted
Sill the goods he has fraUdently obs aimed

reason why the representatives. OF the
New York Chamber Of Commerce and
other such bodies In tho country were so
