Whereas, the establishment of peaceful and per

0 [ “1 sections of the Union upon honorable and equit
able terms is an object greatly commendable and
ardently desired u niversally by our citizens; and
whereas, the policy of inviting foreign immigration
to ♦his section is questionable as to its benefits or
pernicious effects upon the present and future welfare
of our inhabitants and of native citizens;—
Re if therefore r.eeoitjed by the General Assembly of
the, State of Georgia: That the introduction .of foreign
emigration into this State in the present perilous crisis
ot our political and domestic relations, and more es
pecially from a quarter where its citizens either di
rectly or indirectly, or by taking np arms in the recent
conflict between the people North and South aided in
increasing it* violence and devastating effects upon
humanity the peace and prosperity of our national ex
istence should be reluctantly encouraged or sanc
tioned. *
Relying therefore upon the patriotic efforts and ac-
ve energy of our citizens, we feel assured that no
foreign element is needed iu aid of our system of gov
ernment, or in addition to the class of laboring popu
lation already amongst us!

We return to the principle of non-intervention, and

of non-intervention, which they invoke, by maintain

The Sunday Gazette says:

even more probably upon the reassembling of the

Government has issued another proclamation of
fering $2,30U for the capture of Stephens.
An additional seizure of fifty rifles and bayonets was

The cattle disease still increases in England.
The Dublin police believe that Stephens 1b concealed

impossible.
Royal engineers are engaged examining the defences
of Spike Island, Cork.
Additional detaila of the Jamaica insurrection had
reached England, but no new facte had been elicited.
The new Governor had arrived. The Legislature had
taken action which virtually threw the whole manage
ment of affairs upon the Imperial Government.
The London Times takes the following view of Mex
ican affairs:
Whatever may have been the prudence of establish
ing a hereditary monarchy in Mexico, it Is now fully
apparent that the French Emperor ia aware that it
must either take root of itself or wither away. A for
eign force cannot occupy a country for a long term of
years witboat producing the most bitter discontents.
The occupation of Rome has been the greatest politi
cal scandal of our time. The occupation of Mexico
would prevent the most just and beneficent Govern
ment that could be formed from duly consolidating it
self.
As long as Juarez can keep a section of the popula
tion in hte fSVor, which will be long indeed in such a
country as Mexico, there will be a belief throughout
the world that the Imperial throne is supported only
by French bayonets, that the mass of the people are
kept down by force, and that the dynasty ia wliat
Americana describe it—a foreign rule imposed by for
eign force. It may, then, be taken for granted that
the French occupation will shortly cease.
It would be a good thing if the year 1866 saw both
the Roman and the Mexican territory evacuated, and
tins will not improbably be the case. It now remains
for the United States to take thiB concession in a gene-
jous spirit, and to leave the Mexicans witbont Inter
ference to deal with their present Government, which,
whatever may be its origin, has certainly fiut an end
to an anarchy which threatened to destroy every ves
tige of civilization.
France.
The Patrie says:*“The documents referring to
Mexico have been sent to press. They will form a sup
plementary pamphlet to the- Yellow Book, and will
immediately’ follow the distribution of the latter
among Senators and Deputies.’’
The government has decided to issue these docu
ments in consequence of the publication of the
American despatches.
FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES.
A despatch from Paris, of January 29, says: The of
ficial Yellow Book, containing the diplomatic corres
pondence of the French government with foreign
powers, was laid on the table o( the Corps Legislatif
to-day.
The despatches exchanged between France and the
United States on the subject of Mexico, are in con
formity with the declarations made m the Emperor's
speech at the opening of the session, and in the ex
pose of the condition of the Empire.
A despatch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys to the Mar
quis de Montholon, dated January 9, replying to a
communication from Mr. Seward, dated December 16,
alter announcing that this reply had been submitted
to, the Emperor, expresses the conviction that—
“ The divergence of views between the two Cabinets
is the result of an erroneous appreciation of the inten
tions of France.’’
M. Drouyn de Lhnys proceeds to state that France
seeks the realization at no ambitious ideas, and says:
Now that there is a regular government in Mexico,
the legitimate object of our expedition will be attained.
We are endeavoring, while satisfying our interests and
our dignity, to make arrangements which will enable
us to consider the mission of our army in Mexico ter
minated.
Another despatch of M. Drouyn de Lhuys, dated
January 25,1866, to the French Minister at Waahing-
ton, relates a conversation of the fonner with Mr.
Bigelow. i
On that occasion M. Drouyn de Lhuys declined an
official controversy upon the measures taken by the
Emperor Maximilian, stating that he could onl-
ceive Mr. Bigelow's communications on that
as simple information.
This reservation established, the French Minister
observed, in the courte of conversation, the mea
sures pointed out were of a purely administrative
order, and did not appear to him to constitute any of
The National Bankrupt Bill.
Thia bill, which passed the House of Representa
tives at the last session, and will now, it is believed,
pass both Houses, was to have beeu taken up and
considered by the House on the 13th. As the bill is
one of universal interest, we give an abstract of ita
provisions:
“The bill gives the present United States Courts ju
risdiction iu all cases arising under tbe act, and regu
lates the appointment, ditties and powers of the offi
cers who are to act in a judicial capacity under super
vision of the Courts, and subject to their order, the
practice in all proceedings in bankruptcy, and some
other matters of merely professional interest. The
bill then provides for voluntary bankruptcy on the mo
tion of the bankrupt himself, and involuntary bank
ruptcy on the motion of the creditors of the bankrupt.
The provisions are distinct as to each.
“In voluntary bankruptcy it is provided that any per
son residing within the" jurisdiction of the United
States, owing debts provable under tbe act exceeding
4500 in amount, can apply by petition to the judge of
tbe judicial district in which he resides, setting forth
his inability to pay bis debts, annexing a sworn sched
ule of his debt, their amount and nature, with tbe
names and residence of the creditors; annexing also
an inventory ol ail property of every kind in his pos
session in which he has an interest; and the filing of
such petition is to be an act of bankruptcy, and the
petitioner is to be adjudged a bankrupt. The Judge
is then to issue a warrant, directing, the marshal to
take possession of all the debtor's property of every
kind, and keep tbe same until the appointment of an
assignee, and directing him to notify creditors to
prove their debts. Assignees are to be chosen by the
greater part, in value, of creditors; and such assig
nees, when approved by the Judge, take possession of
the debtor’s jiroperty and all broks and papers relating
thereto, with certain slight exceptions.
“ All debts and liabilities existing, though not ma
tured or uot ascertained in amount at the time of the
adjudication of bankruptcy, may be proved against the
bankrupt’s estate, and all claims provable under the
act can be prosecuted in no other manner than under
the act, except lor the mere purpose of declining their
amount. All claims are to be presented on oath,and are
to he investigated judicial iu case either their amount
or validity is disputed. The assignees also have power
under the supervision of the courte, to sell or re
deem property, and to take various prescribed mea
sures for the advantage of the estate—to bring to and
defend suit on behalf of the estate.
Wages due an operative, clerk or house-servant, to
an amount not exceeding fifty dollars, are to have pri
ority over all the other claims of individuals, and be
first paid iu.full. At the final dividend claims are to
be paid in the following order; First, fees and coats
of the proceedings; Becond, all dues to the United
States; third, ail dues to the State in which the pro-
ciedii gsare pending; fourth, wages of operatives, Ac,
which uav e accrued in the six months preceding the
first notice of the proceedings as above mentioned;
fifth, all dues to persons entitled to priority, aside
f om the provisions of the act, under the laws of the
United States.
On due notice, at the time and under the conditions
provided by tbe act, the final discharge ia to be given
to the bankrupt from ull claims provable under tbe
act; such discharge to be withheld, or to be invalid if
granted, iu case of fraud or violation on the part of
the petitioner of the uruviaionB of the act in that be
half.
No second discharge is to be granted to any bank
rupt whose estate is insufficient to pay seventy pur
cent, of tbe claims against it without the consent of
three-fourths iu value of his creditors. And no third
discharge can be granted in any cate. But any bank
rupt who lias paid all claims existing at tbe time of a
previous bankruptcy, shall be entitled to a discharge
as though there bad been no previous application.
Creditors may oppose the discharge and have tlie
grounds of their opposition tried by jury. All debts
created by action of tbe bankrupt iu a judiciary capa
city are exempted from tbe operation of the discharge.
Similar provisions are made as to bankruptcy pro
ceedings on the part of partnerships and corpora
tions.
“The proceedings in involuntary bankruptcy on the
motion of the creditors differ Irom those in voluntary
bankruptcy simply iu their commencement. When
ever a debtor avoids legal process in an action for the
recovery of a debt or demand provable imder the act,
or disposes of bis property in fraud of his creditors:
or whenever a banker, merchant or trader fraudulent
ly suspends, and does not resume tbe payment of his
commercial paper within fourteen days, and in a large
class of enumerated cases, the debtor, on petition of
his creditors to tbe amount of over $250, shall be ad
judged a bankrupt.
After the adjudication of bankruptcy, three-fourths
in value of the creditors can, under the direction and
approval of the court, wind up and settle tha bank
rupt's estate in such manner aa they may agree upon,
and the estate is then vested in trustees, the rights and
duties of the trustees being similar to those of the as
signees under the ordinary method of procedure; and
the discharge is to be in the same form and of the
same effect as though the usual proceedings in bank
ruptcy were had.”
Horrible Tragedy,
The Salisbury, N- C., Banner, of the 20th, says
“ One of tbe most heartrending accidents that it
has ever been our duty to record, happened this morn
ing at the house of Mr. Mathias Rimer, four miles
from this city.
“ Two suns of Mr. Rimer, aged eighteen and twenty
years respectively, built for their little sister, a girl of
seven years of age, and two small brothers, a “play
house,’’ some fourteen feet from the house. It was
built of huge logs about sixteen inches square, and
was sixteen feet iu width and height. It was covered
with boards, and iu it was a large pile of straw, broom
sage and hay, on which tbe children played. No door
haid been cut, so the children had to crawl under the
sill, which rested on four stoneB, One plank of the
fioor was left out to give them admission.
“The night of which the occurrence took place in
the morning, the eldest boy slept in there complaining
of it being too warm in the bouse. In the morning,
when the tires were being made, he asked to have
some brought into the play honBe. This was some
thing novel with the children, and they all went In
with the fire.
" In a few moments the pile of straw was in full
flame. The little girl who happened to be nearest the
gap escaped uninjured. The eldest boy, with two
younger brothers, were suffocated to death and burned
afterwards. The second eldest boy got out badly
burned; he will probably not recover.
“ Mr. Rimer is absent in Illinois, and Mrs. Rimer
knew nothing of the affair until the little girl rau in
and told her. She procured an axe and tried to save
her children by knocking off the roof, but it was too
late.”
The Richmond Examiner OAlce Closed
by Order of General Grant.
Richmond, Va., Fab. 13,1866.—Tha Examiner office
waa closed at nine o'clock this evening by order of
General Terry. The order is said to have emanated
from General Grant. _
The New York Herald’s correspondent says:
“lam informed from Richmond that a military
guard is still in possession of the Examiner office.—
The further publication of that sheet it discontinued
indefinitely. The recent attacks upon the government
and the officers of the United States army stationed in
Richmond are supposed to be the reasons which com
pelled General Terry to issue the order. Public opin
ion is said to sustain the military authorities in their
action in the ptatter. General Terry has the key to
the office, and unless his action is countermanded by
the government the paper will not again appear under
the old regime."
Latest from Columbus.—The Enquirer of the 15th
says: «
“Yesterday waa another day of quietj and perfect
order. The colored troopB were hot up8n the streets.
Our citizens are settling down in tbe conviction that
the government will, on a correct representation of the
cause and nature of the late disturbance, relieve them
from insults and indignities, which, though patiently
borne on several occasions, provoked resentment in
the instance referred to. We believe that the authori
ties here have the disposition and will be able to re
strain any attempts to get up further difficulties.”

Washington, February 14,1866.—The Freedman's
