A liill rep- sling the Bankrupt law has
passed both Houses of Congress and is
■in tfie hands of the President for his
approval. This, it is aaid, ho wiU
promptly give, so that in a vary few days
the Bankrupt Court-, with their enor
mous fees and awiudlnig officials, will be
things of the past.
We think that s modified insolvent law
Is derivable, not to cloak rascality, as
the | resent law lias done, but for the
r lief o! hmicut men who are unfortunate
in business, anil who call l.ovcr recover
a fimino-ul foul.uid wlnie executions are
banging over them. Hnoti Jaw wi 1
doulitlesa he en.u.-Ud ut an early day,
Por the present, however, tlie man wlio
Ini's pnltnblo goods on a credit, and
smuggles them off or actis them for cusli
and then attempts to suenk tlirougli tin
Bankrupt Court with full pockets, will
find biinaelf mistaken.
In Georgia tiie time is rapidiy ap
proaching, if not already here, when a
man's property will be liable for his
debts. The Bankrupt law being dead,
the only Shield for the debtor is the
State Homestead law. This exempt*
$1,600, but the man who asks lor credit
can waive ull except SIOO, which tin
creditor will bo very apt to demand,—
With the resumption of specie payments
onr good old Shite is evidently about to
resume the enforcement of honesty and
justice between debtors and creditors.

Several weeks ago the New York
World published a lengthy interview
had with Senator Cockling, which creat
ed much excitement in Washington. In
tliia interview the Senator denounced
Hayes in bitter terms as a fraud and
traitor to bis party. Ho claimed to have
bean the first to suggest the Electoral
Com on as ion, by which the people were
train died out of their choice for Prnsi
4'juf. He accused Hayes of making a
bargain with oortniu loading I). mocrals,
by which the latter agreed to nooept the
iniquitous decision of tie Electoral Coin
mission nml tlie for aer agreed to witti
tiijisv -Itv* Ftslclijd tiyo|i fi eialhe South.
Unadmitted the frauds by
die infamous Bsturuiug Bo aids in Lou
isiana eJ FI wills, ami assort id that the
ttiiue was near at hand when’ itJI of these
jiHoalitii s would be exposed and Hayes'
title to Ilia office sbowu to be null and
•void.
This, omn/ttg from ons of tbo loading
Republican Senators, fell like n bomb
iu the political cirolu. of Ilia nation
al Capital. But n sensation even more
atarttiug tlinn this has juat transpired.
Judge UcXdn, Secretary of State for
Florida under Stearns’ administration,
and Dennis tlie ballot box manipulator
of Alaelnin comity, Uave made written
confession*, giving tbe faeta anil details
by wbioli tlie vote ot Florida was changed
from Tildon to Hayes. In addition to
these, a nnmtxr of other cleeVon maim
gers, in different parts of the State have
likewise confessed and substantiate the
statements of MeLin and Dennis,
These revelations, coming from the
very meu who perpetrated tlie frauds,
and sustained by facts and fig oo s. leave
no grounds for don' tor quibble. It
kuoeka tbo hist prop from under tin
usurping Administration, and leaves the
great Fraud ti sink in the slum of pub
lic indignation and contempt..
Will Hayes resign or bo on- ted from
offioo? Neither, in onr opinion. A man
who ia base eumigh to receive atolen
goods is menu enough to keep them j and
tue eountry is too tired of political strife
and turmnl! to mill r'.rko legal pro end
iuga for ins ejection. Ml'. Mi phene
suggests Unit these frutliU be tliiponghh
sifteil and exposed aud then take them
before the people at the next election;
and thin will doubtless be tlie policy ot
the Democrats

The exereis w were very interesting
and lengthy. The people aaaembied iu

is too well known to attempt,' with the

Tlie audience was held spoil hound for
sometime, end they witti myself felt tlie
truth of hia remarks as tliey were power

from shedding tears as he called nut the

and related some affecting scenes that

who fell victims for the constitution of
their oouutry. The Judge saiJ the late
struggle between the States was fought
on an idea, upon a principal and not for
the purpose of emancipation and slavery.
When Judge Cottle finished, the Baud
e imposed of Warrentou’s “gnuta,” gave
ns some splendid music. In the inte
rim a collection was taken np, to enclose
the cemetery. A procession headed by
the Band, then marched through town
to the real decoration. Soon the memo
rial dsy, not only of the dead but living,
ended. In conclusion, I know the
speeches, prayers ami tongs on these
memorial occasions that are being cele
brated throughout the country, can not
ressnrrect the pale nations—onr hero
sons—to whom the South looked in the
tune of her severest trials for counsel
and direction, whose lrones lie blenching
upon tlie green flelda of onr country.
Yet they arc necessary to perfect the
pages of memory, to maintain true his
tory, to soften the hearts of stone and to
elicit tributes of praise in the buildings
truth, friendship, love and patriotism.
