Congress made two or three amendments IN
the Bankruptcy law during its last session,
but these, though much needed, do not OBJ
viate the necessity for that thorough revision
which experience shows the whole act should
now undergo Mr.. Heflin has proposed bill,
which is now before the Committee on the
Revision of the Laws, which we believe would
remove most of the imperfeetiOns complained
of. 1t is careful revision of q number OF the
sections, and proposes many substantial I'M
proyements. We regret that the Committee
did not examine it and report 1t Tor pass'eo
at the last session, but trust it may DC .ihen
ND early at the next, and made part Oh our
Bankruptcy law.


The most important amendment is making
the fraudulent stoppage of payment, or non
novment of debt of any kind whatever, an
oct of bankruptcy. AS the law heretofore
stood this provision was confined to com
"mercial paper" 1t now applies to all debts.
The amendment further provides that the sus-
pension and resumption of payment of
commercial paper for the period of fourteen
days is an act of bankruptcy, whether such
suspension and nOn-resumptiOn be fraudulent OF
not.


The act is further amended by providing
that what is called the fifty per cent clause
shall not apply to debts contracted prior to
Jan. 1, 1869. Both of these amendments seem
to be Just and substantial improyements-but
they do not do away with the necessity OF
making the provisions of MIR. Helms bill
part of the Bankrupt law.

We have from the London Agent of the AS


sociated Press the startling statement, sad to
be ON highest authority, that the Emperor and
Empress are fugitives from France that Prince
Napoleon has fled to Italy; that private prop
erty of the Napoleons has been removed,
and that the Napoleonic dynasty is at
an end. We are without confirmation
of this from our own correspondents,
who are certainly likely to be advised of
matter of so much importance. We do not,
therefore, fully accept the report, and yet 1t
must be regarded as in the line of near prob
abilities. With the end of the NapOleOnic
dynasty an earnest effort ought to be
made on the part of Prussia to make
an end also of the war which that
dynasty provoked. If the French people
should be found too bitter over their late
defeats to permit this, then the war can be
fought on with the sympathy of the world
still on the side of Prussia but until such an
effort be Intellectually made, the whole civil
lied world will insist that the moment the
cause is out of the way the war ought to stop.

Anything that can be made to serve his turn
by depositing the prescribed number of votes
on election day seems acceptable to Mr.. Tweed
as recipient of the bounty of which he is so
prodigal but of which the public bears the
burden. The needs of Tammany have multi
piled the Park Police until there are one or
more of these gray-coated guardians to be
found at every little grass plot in the city, not
even excepting the diminutive triangle at
Fourth and Christopher-sts.; and 80 many of
them are so palpably incompetent, physically,
for their positions that it is evident they are
political paupers pensioned on the public purse.
There being nothing for these men to do
Tammany can better afford to pay them their,
money without requiring the pretense of an
equivalent. The fiagrant swindle might thus
be hidden with the other iniauities.

Parties are starting from Denver with
stocks of goods, and there seems to be
no doubt of the permanency and rich
ness of the mines.


CENTRAL CITY, August 29.-Our re.
porter has just returned from Grand
Island. The district is located fifteep
miles northwest Of Central City, on the
western boundary of Boulder county,
and forty miles from Denver. About
thirty ledges have been struck. Six or
eight were uncovered, showing true fis-
sure of silver veins bearing pay
rock crevices from two to five
feet in width. About five hundred
men are on the ground, and buildings
are going up rapidly. Tons of rich
ores are being hauled from the mines to
Prof Halls smelling works at Black
Hawk daily. Three regular coaches
run from here each day, besides many
private conveyances. The passengers
number about one hundred per day
The excitement is great and steadily
increasing.


The veins, so far as developed, give
the impression that this is one Of the
richest silver regions yet discovered
on the continent. Prof. Hall contem-
plates the immediate construction of
additional smelling works to meet the
increasing demand from these mines,
and other companies are talking of
erecting smelling works.

1t is said that on the 18th day OF
July last, Moses Cunningham, of Brax-
ton, did address to you letter, stating
that he expected TO register the voters
Of his Clay township, and asking
you for instructions as to the per
formance of his duties. You, sup
posing him to be Elias Ginning
ham, did reply to that letter, and
told him substantially that he must
refuse to register all he could-and help
to strike off as many as possible-as
such course was absolutely necessary
to the success of the Republican party.
rYou further told him not to get into
trouble if he could help it, but that in
aease he did there was plenty OF money
ready to take him out.


We ask you to deny these charges.
1t should not be said that the Governor
of this State, because he is candidate
for reelection, has, by his own act,
proven himself scoupdrel. Let this
matter be cleared up. If the Governor
did not write the letter above referred
TO, let him say so in any one or more Of
the public prints of the State.

goods, without gloss, will make rich
drab color. Silks of the same color will
take considerably lighter. Snuff brown,
dark leather, dark drab, scarlet, cherry,
dark orange, crimson and slate will take
very rich drab color. Violet, blue,

light, and should be avoided. The hair

GUNS AND BoYs.-No amount of eau
tion will keep boys from handling guns.
1t is fascinating implement. There is
charm about a gun which bewitches

cheap that everybody can have one
Even if timid persons withhold fowling-
pieces from their sons, it will not prevent
handling them. The town is full of their
them. And accidentally or on purpose,
your son will find out something about
cunning. The military companies are
SO many, and the manual of arms so
fascinating, and sharp-shooting has be-
come such fashion, that you may be
sure that an average boy will come by
gun clandestinely, if he does not with
your permission. Now, we argue that it
is far more dangerous to leave boys to
find out secretly the pleasures of a gun
than it is to teach them its skillful use.
A child soon learns caution. After a
few weeks, boy of ten years old is in
as little danger of doing mischief with
gun as he is of taking poison of falling
into the river, or down stairs, or of stab
bing himself with his knife. We hold it
to be sound philosophy, that children
are safer at being taught how to meet
danger and to overcome it, than by seek
ing to keep them away from all danger.

The assertion has been many times re-
peated that the late Gen. Thomas went
into the Union army only because he was
disappointed in his hope of receiving a
commission in the rebel service. 1t has
now been put forth once more, after
Thomas death, by Fitzhugh Lee; where
upon Col. A. l.. Hough, one of Thomas
staff officers, publishes the following
memorandum of conversation made at
the time:


A slander upon the General was often
repeated in the Southern papers during
and Immediately subsequent to the re-
bellion. 1t was given upon the authori-
ty of prominent rebel officers, and not
denied by them; it was to the effect that
he was disappointed in not getting high
command in the rebel army he had
sought for, hence his refusal to join in
the rebellion. In conversation with
him on this subject, the General said this
was an entire fabrication, not having an
atom of foundation not line ever
passed between him and the rebel au-
thorities they had no genuine letters of
his, nor was a word spoken by him to
any one that could even lead to such an
inference. He defed any one to pro-
duce any testimony, written or oral, to
sustain such an allegation he never en-
tertained such an idea, for his duty was
clear to him from the beginning. He
said these ISLANDERS were caused by men
who knew that they had done wrong,
but were endeavoring to justify them
selves by claiming their action to be a
virtue which all true men would have
followed, and by blackening the charac-
ter Of those who had done right. 1t was
evident they were determined that no
Southern-born man who had remained
true to his country should bear reputa-
BILE character, if continued and repeated
abuse could effect stain upon it.
