proceeded to Its adjournment without further
Interruption from hith. Hut Mr. White Cow
was One of those aboriginal orators whenever
never iutw a crowd gathered together that
be d1 not feel like making a speech. Thii
peculiarity of his seems to have distin.
gtitshed many cltlzeni v1to now Inhabit the
lnni that Mr. White Cow anti his ancestora
originally possenscd. lie , however , never
afterwards in the preHenco ot Logan
Fontaneile attempted tiny great amount of
oratory or eloquence. But. as a conMtnnt
reminder of the mortifIcation which the blow
from his chkt haU inflicted upon him , he
wore as long as ho lived a large , black , otil-
fashioned , silk handkerchief tied over his
head and down under his chin so aa to con-
ceal the gash with which the knife at his
superior luul indelibly scarred one side of
his strong face. During the years 1854 , 1855
and 1S6 , and even clown to his death , no
white man or 1ndlan , outside of his owu
family , ever had an opportunity to see the
scar inflicted by 1'ontaneile. It. was invariably -
variably conccnk'cl by the silk kerchief.
I'evertheless White Cow remained eminent
and justly di8tlnguished among both Indians
and whites as one of the most logical , persuasive -
suasivo and eloquent men of the entire
Othaha tribe.
During November , 1854 , the government
having failed to pay the autumn part of
the annuity which the Otnahas claimed due
them from the sale of their land east of the
Iikhorn audj north of the Platte river In the
territory of Nebraska , the squatters and
eettler in their cabins all along the banks of
the Mtssour river and on the prairies back
therefrom .tis far as they extended were
menaced with a 1cnand for $10 each , which
the Indlan claimed could alone remunerate
theiii for the occupation of the lands until
the succeeding spring , in lieu of tIm deferred -
ferred pnyfl1ellt by the government. So pci-
sistontly was this claim of the Indians made
and io general 41111 thio fright become among
all tIme squatters an the described territory ,
that a convocation at the office of Governor
Mark \V. Izard , In Omaha , of prominent
white citizens and the head men end braves
of theOmabu tribe was authoritatively as-
smnbIed. henry F'ontmtnello acted as inter-
preter. Many speeches were made by both
Indians and white muon. At last the orator ,
White Cow , took the floor. lIe was of corn-
flflflIllilg figure , standing about six feet
three Inches in his moccasins. ISis chest

that Thou with Its dye of years was beginnIng -
ginnIng to toll that youth bad departed ,
that middle life had also passed and that

locks. his pose was always one of grace-
ftilflCSL4 Anti strength. lie wore a breech-
clout and leggIngs of buckskin and a large
and beautiful buffalo robe.VhIle speaking
lie allowed the robe to rezt wholly upon the
loft shoulder and exposed his rIght arm and
rIght breast , which were scarred with battle
wounds , So that all tIle audience could see
that ho was a veteran In war. Ills hands
veni dellcato and volI molded. lie moved
111am and hIs forearm In gesturing with all
the flexible gracefuliess that. time more clvii-
lZeI Delarto method has given to the gestures -
tures of licrnhnrdt. his oration was do-
Ilvered one sentence at. a tIme in time Omaha
language. 'rho interpreter then gave it to
Governor Izard and the audIence in English.
Aftcr speakIng for some minutes. standing
squarely in front of GovernOr Irird , telling
him wIth great vehemence , and at times
with touching vatbos. of time wrongs which
bad been Inflicted by the white men upon
- . , his race , he at last said : "You remember
only two months ago I came and bad a talk
- with you , my brother , " To this the governor
q no'iod his head in assent. White Cow , prop -
p cctdlng , said : "Then you must remember
- I thd words which I gave to you from down
. deep in my heart. "
' Time governor was not. a man ot much
tact , nor did he undOrstand Indian character -
actor or the best methods of dealing with
. Indians. Therefore , very honestly , and in
a somewhat apologetic tone , lie said to Henry
Fontanello : "Tell him I have forgotten
what ho said , " No sooner had this been
I tmansiated Into the Omaha tongue and given
to White Cow timanhe folded his arms and
with a look of the utmost derision and scorn
upon his features , whirled on his heel 111cc
a top and with his back to the governor ,
said to Fontanehle : "Tell him that a man
. who thinks and feels for his peopl' ' as I
think and feel for the Omabas cannot nITort
1 to waste his time in talking to a person
iio has not mind enough , to remnomber
what waa1aaid to him for oven two moons. "
The effect of this savage sarcasm amid the
Imperturbable look of superiority and dia.
dam which pervaded the countenance of the
speaker ere superb and beyond description ,
It was some muomouts , and after a good deal
A , of diplomatic pnrloying , before the coin-
posuro of the governor and the audience In
I. general was restored. At last , however , a
'
aa'tlsfactory conclusion was reached and the

mutual tespeel Many and thany were the
talks which the old Indian and the young
agent had together Generally they were of
thin most satisfactory and agrapable nature.
At last the agent came to % mndorstand pretty
thnraugbly the facial cxpreaion of his
aboriginal ward and chum , 1t came to such
a pass that Purnaa could almost forecast
the object of any visit or proposed council
which Mr. White Cow evolved. hut lie has
admitted to me that he never was more
embarrassed by any speaker than by his
aboriginal orator. The occalon wan this
White Cov called at the agency storehouse
with the Interpreter , who Intormeil 0ev-
ernor Fumes that. they had come on business -
ness of great Importance to White Cow nu1
that he hoped Furnas would give them time
for a big talk , To this the agent assented ,
Thereupon White Cow , shaking hands with
Furnas , squared hlmelf for a verbal assault
and ald :
"My brother , I have come to you on a
matter of great importance to me and my
people , You know I have always been your
friend and the friend of every wimit man.
ot one drop of blood ot your people over
stained my hands , Always I have been to
you armil to your race like a real brother.
Our Great Father at. Washington know this
anti so ho had me make him a visit there ,
Going and coming I saw all of your his
villages. In every one of thorn the headmen
and braves saw and talked with me. They
all know inc. Everybody , from our Great
Father back to the Missouri river , knows
about White Cov , MI of the Indians on
the plains know of White Cow , the great
Omaha speaker , Tile flrulo-Slou , the Yank-
tons , the Dakotas , the Mandana , the Chey-
tflflCS , the Arapahoes , the Otocs and the
Pawnees-.all Indians everywhere-they , too ,
icnow White Cow. And now , my brother , I
came to tell you that I am going up to see
the Poncamu at time mouth of the Niobrara
river , I am going to mnake them a visit ,
They are looking for me now. And Wileil
a man of such distinction goes visiting he
moust maico large presents to tue ucorilo
among whom lie stays , Therefore I have
come to ask you to give me three cithtliCS (
of plug tobacco that I may distribute them
among the l'oncaa while I am their guest , "
The si)000h , as Furnas 110W declares , was
somewhat verbose and long-drawn-out and
he had become rather tired of the resonant
flow of aboriginal eiotiueimco long botore the
peroration had endoul. Consequently in a
rallier listless sort of tone and with no
expression of any partlcular.satistaction on
his face , Agent F'urnas said to a cierk in the
omee : "Go out into the storeroom anti get
three plugs of tobacco ; bring them in and
give them to the old follow , " The messenger -
ger soon returned and handed time three plugs
of tobacco to thu indignant advoCate. 3m-
mediately he whirled toward Furnas , and
looking at , hlm with indignation flashing
from his great , dark oycs , said in a tone
of intense scorn : "As I told you a little
while ago , I have traveled a great deal ; I
have seen all the headmen and braves
among tiio white licoplo and the great chiefs
among the Indians on the plaIns-all sorts of
men-white men , red men and black men I
have seen all over thus country. " Then ,
looking still mere intensely wrathful and
bending his huge form over untii his hand
nearly toimcbed the floor , he said : "flut , "
( looking straight at Fumrnas ) "never before
did I see a man only about that high. "
Vt&lte Cow's LnHt ItequeNt ,
The foregoing did not , however , dls-
turb the amicable relations between In-
titan anti agent. A few months after that
event , during a very severe storm in mid-
wiater , a amessonger called at the agency
and Informed Furnas that White Cow was
very sick oiicl near unto death and tiesired
his lnimediato presence. It sins a night of
storm , wind amid snow , and the thermometer
was away below zero. But the demand for
his presence was so Importunate , and supposedly -
posedly coming from a man just about to
( ispart from this life , that Furnas immediately -
diately , through the blinding blizzard , found
his way to the habitation of Wblte Cow.
The old Indian was laid out on a pallet of
robes and sklims. Ho was much emaciated ,
hut after being bolstered up ho shook hands
with Furnas and expressed his gratitude that
he should have come to him in that an-
vreme moment. Through the interpreter
lie again repeated the story of his lifelong
friendship for tlmo whites , and finally wound
up by stating that having been so long on
their side he felt In his heart like a soldier
of the government , and timat therefore he
desired as a last favor that Ftmrna should
promise him that he should be arrayed for
the grave in the uniform of a cavalry soldier
of the United States. Ho said he wanted
one of those short , round-about coats with
yeilow stripes on It and across the sleeve ;
that ho wanted pantaloons such rs the horse
soldiers always wore with yellow stripes
down the sides , and that then he would be
ready to go to tie happy hunting grounds
imi the src4' that a man of lila iioo and long
service to the white people ought to go ,
.Governor Furnas admits that. the scene
was hinthetic and that his heart was really
touched by thie words of the aged and
ornaciateti man , ror 'L'ume tones or uymng men
enforce attention like deep lmarmony , " And
so ho promised White Cow that his request
would ho granted amid that be would be
burled In the attire which he had described.
Again White Cow renewed his strength of
s'oice and said : "My brother , I feel aura
that you would not tell me a lie at amiy time ,
and I am very certain that you would not
tell a lie to a dying man , But when a man
is dead he cannot tell what kind of clothes
lie has on ; he don't know anything about
thorn , So I visit that you would send a man
right imp to the agency and get those clothes
for me now and have me put. right Into
them , Then I shall die hiappy and know
that I am going into the other world dressed
just as I wish to be , "
This nppeal was too much for time synipa-
thotin heart of the agent. Immediately a
messenger was dispatched for the cavalry
suit and in duo time returned with the
same , and into it , after a good deal of strugi
gb , the limbs and body of Mr. Vhito Cow
were placed , With a smile of supreme sat-
Is faction the old man laid down again and
soon passed into peaceful Blumber ,
Two weeks afterward , hoss'ever , Governor
Furnas was s'ory amuch surprised to receive a
call from Mr. White Cow , who lived to enjoy
amid wear out that suit of clothes with great
comfort to hiimsclf , During its ulse , however -
over , lie ihid secure from Governor Furcias a
promise that after his death he should bo
buried In a sitting posture on a high bluff
of time Missouri river just above the city of
Decatur , in hurt county , Il desired to be
placed in a chair facing down the channel
of time Missouri river , He said lie wanted
to sit there forever and see the boats coining
anti going , to ace time white people crossing
Over into Nebraska and niaking homes ,
putting trees , orchards and hedgerows all
over the great plains where ho had in his
youth so many times hunted the buffalo , time
( leer anti the antelope , And again hits op.
peal was triumphant , for Governor Ftiraas
promised him that ho should be so burled ,
And the day Caine and tlio life went out of
tile first , original , famous amid great orator
of Nebraska. l'icclsehy the promise made
by Governor Fumes was fulfilled and the
mortal remains of Mr. White Cow were disposed -
posed of as ho desired they should be , on
the high bluff of the Missoumj river , the
waters of which are seldom now disturbed
by steam craft , There In a sedentary P0S
tur ) the remains of tlmis aboriginal orator are
eiiclDaed by brick masoncy , Timis final resting -
ing rilaco overlooks portion of Iowa and
the city of Decatur , and its occupant may
not wait many years before the waters of
tie Missouri river shall be vexed by the bat-
toma of barges which may be towed to St ,
Iouia or New Orleans by light draught
steam tugs , The umtilzatioa of this great
stroani for the transportation of tlme staple
commodities of the northwest to the gulf
cannot much hanger be delayed.
hut later in the history of Nebraska other
distinuished barbarians have appeared as
orate and elicited the attention anti timi-
miratlon of those who were among their
auditors.
4iiottel , 'DAlI fl nfl Orator ,
General fleorge D. Crook had perhaps as
good know1edg of the Intclk'c at ability
had moral trend of the 'prbtninent savages
of northwestern Nobrnka as any man living
in his ( las' and generation. To him the
author is indebted for the following speci-
meas of eloquence from the tongue of
Spotted Tall.
During the Hayes administration it wss
determined to reform the Indiarm.btmreau and
to so manage its affairs that the annuities
anti the goods due the Indiana should be
honestly distributed , A first step in this
direction was to appoint only Quakers and
EpiBcolallana to the office of Indian agent.
This policy was carried out quite rigidly for
goinG time , During Its domination a pecil
commission to interview the Sioux Indians
at Camp Robinson arrived at General
Crook's headquarters , In due timne the coun-
cii was held , Eastern philanthropIsts who
knew nothing of Indian character , except
from Cooper's novels or "hiawatha , " ap-
peered to give advice and Instruction to the
Indians then and there assembled , Long
speeches were matte relative to the dignity
of labor rtid the necessity of contstant work
for every human being , A tedious speaker
informed the Indians that the white mami ,
lila wife antI his children were always well
housed , weli fed and well clothed because
all white men labored. Thmo speech was
lengthy anti didactic and very tiresome ,
When It. was finished Spotted Tall said :
"Mi- brother , the words you have spoken
sink deep into my heart. Youm say all whmite
mnen have good lioimses , good food amid good
clothes becaimse all white mcii work hard ,
These words burn in my heart. Go back to
our Great Father 1mm W'ashiiagton. Teli him
that I have hearth ssliat you have said and
renienibered it. Tell him thierefore that I
want himn to send out to uuiy band of Sioux
Indians it whole lot of big tables with square
logs , tables which are covered with green
cloth on the top and which mire always accompanied -
companied by red cmiii white balls aud long
nrfow-hike sticks with which to punch the
balis. Tell hlnm that when these tables and
sticks and balls get to the Sioux we sviht
nil go to work punching bails nil day long ,
auth sometimes tar lntthe night , just as his
hcatirncn sod braves do down at the fort ,
and that then we shall have good houses ,
plenty to eat nod good clothes. "
After thin foregoing barbaric satire dinner
was served. General Crook thud that ho
helped all the guests , the distinguished white
persons being on his rIght ( among thmemmi
Webb hayes , SOZI of the president ) , and the
distinguished Indians On the left , All were
"falling to" with avidity. Hut Spotted Tail
sat with folded arms , his plate of food
steaming before hilni untouched , General
Crook said to him , "Why do you not eat ? "
The Indian responded , " \Vill not these men
pray before they eat ? " General Crook answered -
swered , "No , " Spotted Tail smiled grimly
and said , "I mmm glad of It , for then they
will not steal what is on amy plate. "
At another thin , Spotted Tall , after listen-
lug to a bug speech u.s to the importance
of the Indian emuulatimig whmito men and
thereby becoming a Christian gcntlcnuitn ,
deemed It his duty to show that the Indians
Were much better off before they were in-
tioducecl to the civilization of the nineteenth
century. A part of his speech as repeated
to me by General Crook was something
like this :
"My brother , you say that if Indians would
do as you do we svould be better timan we
are now. But we never had any trouble
until sve came to be friendly with the white
alan. lie has taught us a great many things
which you say are good. lie brought us
firewater to drink. He brought us cards
with which to gamble. Ho does not know
how much bettor we were before hue became -
came acquainted with us , lie' can not say
that we did not raise everything to eat that
we needed before we saw ammy of your people.
Ho cannot deny that we raised all kinds
of fruit in tin cans. He cannot prove that
our squasvs did not have hoopakirts and silk
dresses. He knows nothing about svhat we
were before we lied the bad fortune to meet
svhite people and become accustomed to their
ways. Certainly we did not have rats that
would get into warehouses and eat up
butcher knives , frying iians and tin cups
until such articles were sent. out. here by
the government for us and stored in the
warehouses. Then we fled when we caine to
get our goods that from knives , blankets ,
paints , beads , red broadcloth and from
everything else there is a good deal missing.
We complain at this loss and the agenc looks
bhpck and with a very bad tongue says :
'Tho rats in the warehouse ate up or destroyed -
stroyed these things. ' The Sioux do not
wish to become so good and civilized as to
have such rata among them. "
Further answering the labor-praising
speaker Spotted Tail said : "If YOU had all
the horses , clothes , guns , ammunition and
food that you wanted , and a good house
over your head , with piemmty of squaws and
children to wait on you , and you did mint
want for anything else in the world , would
you work ? "
The learned commissioner and eloquent
missionary of labor promptly said that he
would not , under those circunmstances , work ,
whereupon Spotted Tail continued :
" \Vell , my Great Father at Wasilngtoa
tins to pay me for my lands so much every
year , and besides that I have as good a
house as I want antI everything I wish forte
to eat and to wear , So 1 am just as good
as you would be nod as you say you would
be If you bad everything that you wanted ;
ned I will not work , There is nothing to
work for , I have nil that I want. Why
should I work when you say that you would
not if yeti were in my place ? Why do you
toil me to do a thing which you say you
would not do it you were an ln'iiun ' ? "
IIiitTnlu cmtiet's Logic ,
Buffalo Chief was one of the foremost
braves of the Otoe tribe. He did most of
the talking at a council in what is now the
city park of Nebraska City , iii the tail of
1855 , George Hepoer , the agent tom' tlat
tribe , was presemit to mimako partial payment
of the annuity promised them under the
treaty of 1854 , Iicjmuer told them that he
would give them one-half of the mooney duo
them that year just as the winter of lfs55-6
was beginning , but that the other half wonici
not be paid to theme until about planting
timmie iii the sprIng of 1856 , when it. would
be useful 1mm buying aced and implements
anl animals for farm purposes ,
To this the Indiamis very generally dis-
seated , Buffalo Chief , iii making an argument -
ment 10 favor of time Irnmnediato cash down
Imyment of the whole' sum , said :
"Your way is not right. It. is not the svay
we gave you nil those beautiful lands , We
did imot give you part of the lands one
day , anion mnorc of the lands the next day
amid liroolise to give you aetna more lands
by anti by , But we gave you au the lands
south of the Platte river , east of the Big
Blue and north of thic mouth of the Nema-
ha , This Is no way to do-to pay a part
now amid a lurt by anti by for a timing whichi
you got all together , at once , "
Medicine Horse syas also a leading man
among the Otoes and toolc Part In the samoa
debate. During the discussion imo told Major
hiepuer that the latter was a liar , whereupon -
upon the major , rising troni his chair , took
thmat useful piece of furniture and broke It
over the oratorical cranium of the aforesaid -
said Medicine Horse with such violence that
time orator was laid out breatbiebs anti apparently -
parently lifeless for some moments. After
his revival , however , lie showed great resPect -
sPect for Agent Ilopuer and became far more
tractable and deferential ,
In another iiapor it Is intended to give

opcd along the frontier during the early

couldn't. Tried her again on buying something -

knew. Got turned down every time. The

Then she looked at me for a minute-
maybe it wns longer. Then she spoke :

The bankruptcy ect which became a law
July' 1 is the fourth in the history of our
nttonal legislation. The first. ass passed
April 4 , 1800. antI ws short-lived ; the see-
end , on August 121 , 1841 , relieved the victims
of the great financial panic of ISS ? , coil was
repealed in a few years. The third act
passed on March 2 , 1867 , very largely
amended on June 2 , 1874 , nd again
amended in 1876 , was of longer duration and
was taken advantage of by many who bad
bec6me Insolvent in eonsequiemiCe of the
financial panic of 1873 , It was repealed
August Si , 1878.
The power of congress to "pass uniform
acts of bankruptcy" is granted in article
I , section S of the constitution of time United
States. The separate states have no Ilower
to pass bankruptcy acts , and theIr' different
insolvent-debtor laws are necessarily of
very limited operation , as they cannot reach
Property situate in another state and cannot
pass a law Impairing ( lie obligation of eon-
tracts.
The present act , says ( lie Chicago Record
had its origin In bills that have been pond-
lmig In congress for a number of years , mtnd
in its present form is the resumlt of a corn-
lmrornise In the conference eoumnmittco , an the
house of representatives and mue'nato had
passed separate hills with conflicting provi-
sions. In many respects it diffe 'a widely
from thmo last preceding act , it is much
more liberal to debtors , and the tees are
izreatl reduced. But one qualification is
tieccasary for a voluntary bankrur.t owing
debta. The advance costs , which were 175
under the last act , ar now re.lttceti to 12 ,
nail in voluntary bankruptcy , tim.s costs
rnicd not ho paid if the debtor nunke oath
that hue has miot and cannot procure the
money to pay them , Any person-hut not a

ills in the United States district court a ic-
titian coiitalmling a schedule of his assets
and liabilities , "Any natural iersomi. except
a wage-earner or a person engaged chiefly
in fnrmtag or the tiliago of the sell , any
unincorporated company and any corpora-
tioma engaged vriucipaliy In rnnufnctUring ,
trading , printiiig , publishing or inereantila
pursuits , owing debts to the amount of

included , but not stiouial or state
Wage-earners are defined as those WED TO-
ceive for their services remuneration at tIme
rate of not more than 11,500 per annual.
The vetitiOn to make a parson or corporation -
tion an involuntary bankrupt must be
signed by three creditors whose claims aggregate -
gregate $500. One aigmuuttUro is sufficIent
when the number of creditors is less than
twelve , but if the debtor's answer discloses
more than twaivo creditors the petition maybe
additional signatures. But
be nicude good by
before ho can be forced into bankruptcy the
debtor must have within four months corn-
initted an act of bankruptcy while insolvent.
In this the present act is unique. All other
bankruptcy laws have recognized cert.atn
. acts of a debtor as acts of bankruptcy ,
which put hint in the clutches of the law
absolutely and without appeal. Now be baa
his nasots
his 5olvoucy-that
hut to prove
are suthictent to pay his debts-and the peti-
tioninust be dismissed ,
Reeognlze' Acts Of IInflkruptOY.
The recognized acts of bankruptcy are few ,
Under time preceding law concealment to
avoid legal process and several other acts
were included which are now omitted. The
section reads ; "Acts of bankruptcy by a.
porsomi shall consist of his having (1) ( ) con-
veyed , transferred , concealed or removed , or
permitted to be concealed or removed , any
part of his property with intent to hinder ,
delay or defraud his creditors or any of
them ; or (2) ( ) transferred while insolvent
any portion of his property to one or niore
of his creditors with intent to prefer sucil
creditors over his other creditors ; or (3) ( )
suffered or permitted , while insolvent , any
creditor to obtain a preference through
legal proceeding , and nat having at least
five days before a sale or final dipoitiomi
of any property affected by cuch preference
vacated or discharged such preference ; or
general assignment for the benefit -
(4) ( ) made a
fit of his creditors ; or (5) ( ) admitted in writing -
ing his inability to PUY imis debts aud his
willingness to be adjudged a bankrupt. on
that ground. "
It will be observed that the language of
tills section ha unusually clear , OXCOL LIIU
third clause , and that is frightfully obscure.
One of the most eminemit men at the bar ,
alluding to it , said : "It is open to construic-
( ion , and therefore bad. " It Is not clear
whether a confession of a judgment is
meant , as on a note with power of attorney
to confess judgment , or a judgment obtained
in any manner , which as t becomes a lien
on the debtor's property in fact works a
prefer'mco agaimist ordinary or simple coo-
tract creditors ; vacating a preference five
days before a sale seems very much like an
Irish boil , an how could it be vacateti without -
out settling the debt , and if that Is done
mnu , .nn thart , be a subsequent sale tinder
flue judgment ? If the clause means , as it
abould , that It is an act of bankruptcy to
allow a judgment to remain unsatisfied five
( hays before the date fixed for a sale under
a levy on execution , it would have been
much butter to say 50 , It is safe to predict
that tbiB clause will he heard from 1mm the
reports before all of the fifty and more
Jtmdgea having originfil jurisdiction have
passed on It independently.
I'm'oceediugs After Petition ,
After a petition has been filed the court
passes upon it and either adjudicates time
debtor a bankrupt or dismisses ( lie patition ,
In the former case a rmmeeting of the creditors
is coiled and they elect a tnimatee-cahlad
assignee , under the former act-in whom
title to time baniurtmpt's property beconc's :
vested upon his executing it bond in all
amount fix d by the creditors. Three trustees -
tees may be appointed , but their fees are
no more thian one , The debtor's exeniptinims
are the annie as ho Is entitled to umidcir time
state law , The bankrupt can now offer
terms of compensation to his credltore ,
which1 if accepted by a majority both in
number and amount , are submitted to time

timat is , before August 1 and Novermuber I

must be filed within four mOuths of the
commission of the act of bankruptcy on

far the oct cannot have a retroactive effect-
that is to say , a man cannot be forced Into
bankruptcy for anything ho has done before
the passage of the act.

United States. "Bump on Bankruptcy"
went through ton editionS , each succeeding
one enlarged amid revised as tIme different
clauses and sections were comustrued by time
coumrtit 5,349 , petItions wore filed in the
northern district of Illinois , anti ninny vol-
umnieft of rep6rts were filled with bankruptcy
lilacs. Doubtless there will be a ruitit of
business tmnder the present law. But these
bankruptcy laws always arouse time antag-
oniamn of the solvent part of the business
comnmnunlty , and probably when time present
act has served its purpose of burying tIme
finanCial slain of the panic of 1833 it will
meet , in a repeal , ( ho Into of its llreie-
