Thc Bankrupt Law and Mortgages. Tho commercial editor of tho New Orleans Times refers to n point of paramount importance to holders of mortgages on real estate. Tho ques? tion is this: "Whether, under tho bankrupt Act, in cases of parties availing themselves of tho Act, sur? rendering property which may bo under mortgage, tho judge of tho United States court can order all mortgages standing against the bank? rupt, or any ono petitioning for thc benefit thereof, can order tho erasure of mortgages on tho records of thc mortgage office. The editor says: "It will bo remembered that under tho Act of 1842, or tho last national bankrupt Act, the presiding judge could direct the erasure of all mort? gages; that tho mortgagees merely could havo a privilege on tho assets or proceeds of tho property released. It will be remembered that tho pro? ceeds of much real estate, sold undor the order of bankruptcy, under that U.W, did not command one-fourth or half tho sum for which it was valued or cost." Thc editor then quotes tho case of a Mr. Thomas Banks, a wealthy citi? zen, who went into court-being forced into bankruptcy-with a pro? perty of real estate valued at$1,800, 000, which property only realized ii450,000. Tho samo property ia valued, to-day, at $7,000,000 or 88, 000,000. Thc New York Times comments on the article of its New Orleans cotem porary, from which we extract: "If tho owner of incumbered pro? perty becomes bankrupt, and tho whole of his assets pass into tho bands of a receiver for tho benefit of tho creditors, should thc existence of a mortgago upon tho real part of tho estate relievo it from liability to forced sale? Tho creditors aro entitled to the entiro body of as.c3ots, and, to secure tho benefit of all, the power to anticipate tho conditions of a mort? gage, and even to direct its erasure, must rest somewhere. Of this au thoritj-, tho j?dgc is tho proper cus? todian. "On tho other hand, tho exercise of tho authority may, in seasons of business depression or disaster, ope? rate prejudicially to tho rights of thc mortgagee True, his privilege as a creditor of tho mortgagor might re? main a first charge upon the proceeds of his estate, into which tho available price of tho real property would cuter. But forced salos cf lands or houses, in tho midst of panic, aro not likely to realizo moro titan a small propor? tion of their real value. At such a time, hundreds of dollars buy what is intrinsically worth-and what may bc actually mortgaged for-thou? sands. Thc case cited in tho state? ment we have copied, where less than half a million resulted from tho salo of property valued at millions, is a fair illustration of tho sacrifices that would follow an unyielding exercise of tho right of a jud go in bank? ruptcy to order a sale. Of course, as compared with ordinary creditors, tho mortgagee retains his advantage. But in tho instance supposed, a salo in pursuance of tho mortgagor's bankruptcy, might easily bo equiva? lent to the forfeiture of a largo part of the amount covered by tho mort? gage." As this matter will doubtless bo of interest, at least to some of our read? ers, wc publish tho remarks above liv their information. Tho man who never told an editor how he could |bettcr his paper, has gono to marry a womal that never looked in a mirror. Connecticut. The result of tho election in Con? necticut has'giveu cause for great re? joicing to the conservatives all through the North. The replacing of three radical Congressmen by three conservatives is, indeed, n matter of congratulation to the whole Country. We trust it is but the beginning of an auspicious end-of tho party. The National Intelligencer thus ex? presses its pleasant feelings over the result: "Glorious nows greets us from the North. 'The land of steady ha? bits' nobly meets tho expectations of of tho friends of constitutional go? vernment. Never "was a political struggle moro hotly contested. Never was money more lavishly spent by defeated partisans. Never was a con? stituency moro flooded with adroit special pleaders in behalf of a de? signing National Legislature. Never was tho pen moro unscrupulous in its efforts to make the worse appear the better reason. Never wcro the pas? sions engendered by tho war moro violently appealed to. But neither money, nor patronage, nor elo? quence, nor nu army of oflico-holders, nor a subsidized press, nor vilo pas nous, availed the plotters against the Constitution. ' The revolution is stay? ed. Tho war upon our submissive brethren of tho South is ended. Con? necticut has spoken. New York will follow in tho election for constitu? tional delegates. Pennsylvania, tho key-stone of tho arch, will vindicate tho integrity of tho Government as our fathers framed it, and tho Union will bc sustained, according to the Constitution, which sprang from the sagacity, tho patriotism, and"the suf? ferings of 'tho men of '7G.' Mr. Eng? lish is elected by a majority equal to that by which he was beaten a year ago. Three Democratic Congress? men have been elected to one radical, instead of a solid radical delegation, as in tho last Congress. It io but tho beginning of the end." TILE BANKRUPT LAW.-Congress having refused to chango tho time of putting this law into operation, it is presumed that Chief Justice Chase will, soon as possible, pro? ceed to tho appointment of Commis? sioners of Bankruptcy in tho dif? ferent districts of tho countiy. What, with tho wild fluctuations of the past few years, tho effects of tho pre? sent prostration and approheusions of further disasters in financial and business circles, there aro likely to be plentiful thousands in tho coun? try who will find it necessary to avail of tho practical benefits of tho law in order that their hands may bo united and their energies once moro freed and made available. ARREST FOR EXPRESS BOBBERY. James Clay Potts, a messenger of tho Southern Express Company, charged with robbing tho company of about 820,000 at West Point, Miss., on the ICth of March, was ar rctted, on Saturday morning, by Mr. Charles H. Ehrmnn, route agent of thc Hamden Express on the Bal? timore and Ohio Railroad, and some 815,000 in gold and .United States currency found upon his per? son. Notwithstanding tho r?port of the Currency Bureau Investigating Com? mittee declaring that no frauds had been discovered, tho Joint Commit? tee on Retrenchment bas determined to go into a most thorough investi? gation of the matter of tho alleged over issues of tho Treasury Printing Bureau. Thc Committee is to sit during thc recess of Congress. During 1SG?5, over 5,000,000 pounds of books were exported from Great Britain, a large proportion of which came to tho United States. Tho value of these books was 83,010,885 in gold, an average of sixty cents a pound. NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.-William G. Murtaugh has purchased the in? terest of S. P. Hanscom in tho Na tionnl (Washington) Republican, and will continuo its publication. Mr. Hanscom retires from connection with the paper. From ollicial records it appears that 3,78-t wounded soldiers have been furnished with artificial legs, 2,131 with arms, 44 with hands, 9 with feet, at a cost to tho Uuted States of over 8350,000. Tho trustees of Phillips' Academy, Andover, have added ten-pin alleys to their new gymnasium. A fow years since, pupils were expelled from tho institution for indulging in this game. Tho world moves. This is bad religion which makes us hate tho religion of other people. This is a bad sect of Christians which encourages its members to think con? temptuously of all other sects of Chris? tians.

Dec ll ly HABITUAL CONSTIPATION-HO ll" | TO EFFECT A CERTAIN AND PER? MANENT CURE.-Somo occupations of | lifo prc-disposo to costiveness, especially those which allow but littlo exercise. Ter sons who contract this unfortunate habit of body, under such circumstances, might possibly bo relieved by changing their sedentary employments for others of a moro active kind; hut this is by no Encans certain. Habitual constipation is a very obstinate disorder. All tho ordinary so called remedies invariably aggravato it. Nothing eau bo moro injurious than thc continued uso of strong aperients. They at first irritate, and finally almost para? lyze the bowels-rendering them so torpid i that enormous doses of cathartic medi? cines have no effect upon them. A mild aperient, combined with a gent?o stimu? lant, is the truo remedy; and a combina? tion, in thc happiest proportion, of theso* | ingredients, is found in HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. This famous sto? machic invigorates tho wholo intestinal canal, while quietly removing from its con? volutions all impediments to a free passago through them. No mero purgativo has this double operation. No ordinary stimu? lant effects thc desired object. Cases of | constipation, abandoned as hopeless by distinguished medical men, havo been cured m a few weeks by tho Bitters. To those who havo tried all thc medicines of | tho dispensary in vain, wo say, try tub irresistible stimulant and aperient. There is no sufficient reason why constipation should bo tho consoquenco of sedentary habits. nOSTETPER'S BITTERS, by sup? plying tho vigor which would otnerwiso bo derived from exercise, will iu all cases en? able tho system to perform its excretory functions regularly and healthfully.

TIIE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, tho great American Alterativo and Blood Puri? fier, is tho most perfect vegetable com? pound of alteratives, tunics, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it tho most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to tho world. lu introducing this now and extraordi? nary medicino to tho public, observation loads us to remark that too littlo attention is paid to tho "lifo of all flesh," tho blood. Many diseases, and, too, many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated etato of tho blood, aro treated only ns symptoms and results: whereas, if tho remedy bad been applied to enrich tho blood and ren? der it pure, both causo and effect would have been removed. Tho Queen's Dolight ia offered to tho afflicted as a ?uro remedy for tboso diseases arising from an impuro condition of tho blood. It has a direct and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders tho blood pure. It is said, on high authority, that ''man no sooner begins to Uve than ho begins to dio, and that tho characteristics of the living organism aro ceaseless chango and ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless tho blood is pur,o, in supplying tho wasto tis? sues with material, it must bo tho cause of innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, Ho patio Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac. Lifo and health is only to bo maintained by tho circulation of. puro arterial blood. Wo therefore adviso every ona whose blood ia in tho least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whoso constitution is im ?aired by discaso and is suffering from thcumat?sm, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Boils, Itching Humor of tho Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Totter, Roughness of tho Skin, Pimples, Blotches,'Pains in the Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic Sores, Indigestion, " Inflammation of tho Bladder and Kidneys, Pains iu tho Back, General Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, to usc tho Queen's Delight. Females of delicato constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression of mind in consequence of tboso complaints which nature imposes at tho period of chango, havo a pleasant and sure remedy in thc Queen's Delight. Children whoso fair and ruddy complex? ion gavo early promise of health and beauty, but too soon becomo blanched and palo by some hereditary taint of tho blood, will havo tho rich boon restored by using the Queen's Delight. Tho unacclimatcd and persons traveling into warm countries will fiud tho Queen's DeUght a great protection from all malari? ous affection ano diseases which originate in a chango of climate, diet aiid lifo. Tho extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by tho Queen's Delight Compound is attracting tho attention of ovory one, not only at homo, but abroad. Tho merits of this compound aro being felt and appreciated .evervwborc. Hear what they say of it in New York: "It is a remedy of much importance abd *alu?, exerting an influence over all thc secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative. It is extensively used in all tho various forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases, in which its uso is followed by tho most successful results." Its properties as a remedy were first in? troduced to tho notice of the profession by Dr. Thoa. Young Simon?, of South Carolina, as early as 1828, as a valuable alterativo ro nicdy in syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring uso of mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments havo been endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. II. R. Frost, of Charleston. From the reports in its favor, there seems no reason to doubt tho efficacy of this medicino in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous' Diseases, Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com? plaints benefited hy alterativo medicines.
