THE 110ARD OF TRADE AND THE BANK
RUPT LAW.
Via publish.?! on Monday a petition, adopt
ed by tho Board of Trade, at a meeting hold
on Saturday night, nddroPBed to tho Senate of
tho united Stites, praying that tho Bankrupt
Aot which baa recently passed the House,
may notbocomo a law.
Wo regard tbo action of tho Board of
Trado as unfortunate, and will give our rea
sons. Tho mooting of Saturday night was
an extra meeting; tho notice was vory short,
having been only insortod in tho journnle of
tho samo day, aud consequently tbo attend
ance was very small. The night itself was
unpropitious; reoout arrangements among tho
jobbing mord?ante having devoted Saturdays,
after two o'clook, to rest and recreation.
Tbo consequence was that the "one hundred
and fifty firma" wero ropresentod by twenty
six membors present, of whom only ?sixteen ?
votod for the petition-a fraction over ten per
cent, of the business houses represented. ID
addition to theso serious objeodons to the
meeting, their aotion in memorializing Con
gross at all is vory questionable. It appears
to us that our merchants -hould not humiliate
themselves by asking either House of Con
gress to conBidor views coming from a section
unropresonted in tho councils of the nation.
The very presentation of the petition must bo
done by a member from ?some other State,
and if received by Congress, which we think
quite doubtful, would be an unwilling con
descension on their part. _
Those objections, however sound, are of
snir.l? importance compared with the sorious
opposition we feel bound to urgo against the
views expressed by the memorial. A:;d wa
disclaim in advance, ^/or the merchants of
Charleston and the community at large, the
hasty and inconsiderate action of this hand
ful of gentlemen.
The memorial fails to point out any ob
jectionable features in the Bankrupt Aot.
In fact, the speakers, who urged the adaption
of the petition admitted that they were
ignorant of the provisions of the bill. We
must, then, regard tho action of the Board as
committing them against all bankrupt laws,
which position waa most emphatically taken
by one of those who spoke in defence of the
memorial. Now we cannot believe that this
'IB the deliberate judgment of the commercial
oommunity of Charleston.
In almost every country, claiming to be
civilized, bankrupt laws exist In almost
every Stato in this Union insolvent laws have
Ummmm in nnnrati on fnr v?n.ra Tho .,--:?-*,
orude and barbarous notions concerning the
rights of creditors, havo everywhere given
way before tho march of enlightenment and
the better judgment of modern politioal
ooonomista. Those bloody statutes which
consigned the debtor, among the Romans, to
a speoieB of servitude worse than their own
savage system of slavery, and which, even in
polished Athens, delivered the dead body of
the debtor to his rapacious oreditors, were
gradually modified in time, until ?it hut it be
gan to break upon the minde of legislators and
jurists that the debtor had rights as well na
the creditor. The Jewish dispensation, in
this respect as in BO many others, shines out
in beautiful oontraBt to the legislation of
other nations of antiquity. Every seven
years the debts contracted between Israelites
were cancelled, and at the Jubilee all debts,
without exception, were abrogated.
Tho first improvement upon the cruel and
stupid laws of antiquity is to be found in the
law of "oession," introduced by the Christian
Emperors. By this law, if the debtor sur
rendered his entire property he was dis
charged.
From that time to the present this subject
has re?oive-, tho attention of every consider
ate writer on law and politioal economy, and
bankrupt laws have been enacted by every
civilized nation in the world.
BLACKSTONE says, with equal truth and
feeling: "At presont, laws of bankruptcy are
considered as laws calculated for the benefit
of trade, and founded on principles of hu
manity as well as justice; and to that eod
they confer some privileges, not only on the
creditors, but also on tho bankrupt or debtor
himself." And again: "If by accidental
calamities, as by the loss of a ship in a tem
pest, the failure of brother traders, or by the
non-payment of persons out of trade,'a mor
cbaat or trader beoomos incapable of dis
charging his own debts, it is his misfortune
and not his fault."
When commerce began to be proporly un
derstood and conduoted in England, in the
time of HENRY VIII., tho first statute wa?
passed on this subjoot.
Tho prinoiplo thus settlod has been carriod
out through various nota of Parliament, down
to the prosent timo. 'J he samo course baa
been adopted by all other European nations,
and tho important features of the laws in
various oountrios are substantially tho same.
The modern idoa on the 6ubjeot may be ex
pressed aa follows: The honest but unfortu
nate debtor who surrenders hie entire eBtate
to his oreditors, is discharged from his obli
gations, and his -future labor, energy, and
talents are left free, for the benefit of bia
family, his oountry, and himself. That this
is the sentiment of the people of this country,
is fully shown by the vory g0neral expree
?ion of opinion by the press, by the numeroa.
petition? sent to Congreas on the subjoot
pending the discussion, and by the notloea in
tbo oommeroial papers whioh havo appeared
subsequent to the passage of the act by the
House.
It thoroforo cannot bo doubted that tbo
opposition to all bankrupt laws exists only on
tho part of tho Bixtoen gentlomon who voted
for tho momorial on Saturday night.
Lot us noxt oonsidor tho momorial itsolf.
Tho petitioners considor that tho demorali
zation caused by tho war rendors tbo country
unfit "to meet tho law in a propor spirit."
Wo presume tho framor of tho memorial
means that dishonest bankruptcies will bo tbo
rulo, and honest failures tho exception. "Wo
cannot seo tbo matter ?u this light. Wo dony
thut tho character of our ponplo is demoral
ized by tbo war. Wo point to tim general
honesty and good faith prevailing through
out the South during tho war. Then all latos
woro suspended, and commercial transactions
?vero reokoned by millions; yet obligations
wera generally met with promptnobe, and
oases'of fraud woro extremely raro, if, in
deed, thoy ever occurred.
War is undoubtedly a great ovil, but wo
are yet to leam that it renders men dishonest.
If thoro ever was a timo when a bankrupt
law was needed, and if there ever was a peo
ple whose condition demanded tho passago of
this, or a similar not, this is tho time, and we
of tho South oro tbo people. Thousands of
our beBt men havo boen ruined by the casual
ties of war-the destruction of their property,
and the emancipation of thoir slaves. It is
precisely for such a state of things that bank
rupt laws aro intonded. Those who have
been ruinod by misfortune ought not to labor
all their lives to pay debts, many of which
ore owiug to men who have devastated our
land with firo and sword. Let our poople
como forward honestly, give up what they
have, nnd commonco life anow. The general
prosperity of the community will thus be
stimulated, our energies developed, and work
will be cboerfully dono, because mon will
feel themselves emancipated from the slavory
of debt. On the other hand, if any attempt
at fraud is made, the insolvent loses the beno
fit of the act, and lives a dishonored man. It
is thus the interest of all to be honest. And
in this spirit we believe our people will re
ceive the Bankrupt Law as a boon second only
to liberty itself.
The creditor has nothing to lose. Ile is
usually a capitalist, and will benefit much
more by the revival of commerce, and the in
creased productivo energy of the community,
untrammeled by debt, than be could possibly
lose by the successful fraudulenoy of Borne
diBhonost debtor.
So far from State repudiation being a con
sequence of the bill, we think Buch a course
will be rendered impossible by the very mea
, sure in question. A community liberated
I from debt will be able to contribute more
largely, through taxation, to State and
national revenue. The insolvent laws of tho
several States are not sufficient for the ocoa
?\v,u. A noir operation IUUKS more to tne cre
ditor than the debtor. - The honest but unfor
tunate debtor cannot, under State laws, com
pel the oreditor to permit him to become a
bankrupt. Our ancestors paw the necessity
of conferring upon Congress the power to
regulate bankruptcies. It is a powor in
herent in the nature of supremo sovereignty,
and has been wisely used by the present
IIOURO of Representativos for tho benefit of
the whole nation.
We trust the Senate will soon pass the bill,
and entitle itself to receive from the country
tho meed of praise which has so generally fol
lowed its passage by the House.

TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
From Medical gentlemen, Profomors of the highest
OpthaUnlo talent In Charleston, B. C, and In the Union.
CHARLESTON, 8. 0., Moy 23lh, 186?.
I hove examined o grose variety of Glasses manufac
tured by Professor M. BXILNHAHDT, and in justice to the
Professor must say, that his Olassos are of a superior
qur 'tty. adapted to moot the wants of almost every eye,
wbu.e the vision is in any way imperfect. The Profes
sor solected for me a pair of his Australian Crystal
Glss-< H which oro of a very superior quality and work.
manaliip, roudurlng vision very dlatlnct, almost as per
fect as lu youth. 1 yield this testimony in favor ot the
Professor's QlasscB most cheerfully.
E. GEDDINGS, M. D.
I cheerfully concur in the opinion above expressed of
tho value of Professor Bnuuasuf Glisses, and their
adaptability to all defoc'.s of VIBIOD, and also to his skill
and jndgmont lu adapting the glass to each special im
perfection. H. W. DESAU8BUBE, M. D.
CHARLESTON, 8. O, Moy 28th, 1806.
I do moat willingly bear my testimony In favor of the
superiority of the Australian Crystal-Ringln and dou
ble vision spectacles ovtr all other kinds. They are
constructed upon the best established and understood
principien of optics, and tbolr adaptation to tho human
eje in its different conditions of vision is so perfect, as
to render eight eaay without effort. In my opinion,
none others should bo used sinco the eyes once used to
those do not seem to grow old, and by having a focus
at auy point of the surface, they appear to rest o'er the
eyes to their youthful energy.
H. OGIER, M. D.
CHARLESTON, 8. C. May 28th, 1866.
I have oxsmlnod Profossor BEnsnAHDTs' very com
pleto assortment of Spectacles and Lenses. They are
better adapted than any I have bofore son to remedy
the Imperfection of vision that can be benefltted by the
nte ef (liasses. The pareness and clearness of the Crys
tal used, Is an item worthy of apeclal attention, at I con
testify from nersonal experience. I recommend Profes
sor UKUNIIABDT with confldeuce and great cheerfulness,
to the patronage of the puolic.

I have examined a gr- at variety of Glasses manufac

In which glasses ore Indicated. I toke great pleasure In

such articles. li. A. KINLOCH, M. D.
CHARLESTON, 8. 0., May 28th. 186?.
We have examined tbo Lenses of Prof, BEBKHAJUXT,
and consider them superior to any we bove seen. They
are admirably adapted not only to improve the imper
fections of impaired sight, bat to relieve the weariness of
vtsi"0 wbloh constant study produces. Many of the
Glasses are of new and ingenious contrlvai co. We cor
dially recommend the Profossor to oil thoso who require
