New Bankruptcy Law.
Senator Hoar, chairman of the Sen
ate committee on judiciary, who has
been urging the enactment of a bank
ruptcy law for »be past fifteen years*
has given out a statement apropos of
the Senate’s acceptance of tbe confed
erate report. Among other things he
says: ' x
“The present bill is a compromise.
It will undoubtedly be found that in
getting it through we bave been
obliged to leave in it some crudities
and imperfections which must be
remedied by subsequent legislation.
It is quite likely that tbe fees of clerks*-
referees and trustees will be found to
be too low.
“One of tbe great objections waa
that under tbe law the estates note
eaten up by cost, and that the credi**
tors got little or nothing. So we have
pared to the quick in that particular
“Instead of the long list of crimes
there are only two for which a bank
ruptcy is to bs punished—one, that of
wilfully making a false answer in the
bankruptcy proceedings; the other,
tbe embezzlement of the property of
the estate.
“Tbe terms of discharge, too, are
exceedingly liberal; and it is provided
that farmers and wage earners will
not be the subjects of involuntary
bankruptcy, which extends in general
to merchants, manufacturers, bankers,
printers and publishers, etc
“There are some possible cases of
fraud which tbe law will not prevent,
but tbe objection to a stricter one was
s > great that it was not thought best
to risk the success of this bill, which,
as it were, has been saved as by fire,
by standing for a perfect rule to
be applied to cases which would not
occur once in a thousand times.
“The bill will enable from 150,000
to 200,000 bankrupts to get on their
feet again. It will enable manufact
urers and merchants to get a fair di
vision of their debtor’s property, and
will prevent a great deal of fraud, em
bezzlement and wasteful dealing with
property.”
