Tp t nveilagof a statue of Alexan derldaIltim In Central Park, New ork1 a few days since, was the occa a0on ofeAlIhWg to the minds of the present generation the remarkable ca [-rer of that distinguished Revolutiona y statesman. From the oration delly red by Chauney M. DePew some of the iucidents of his life are here given, especially for the benefit of our young or readers. Alexander Hamiltott was born in eb. West indies i 1757. His father was a Scotchman and his mother of liuguenot extraction. At twelve lie was a clerk in a mercantile house, when he wrote, "I would willingly risk my life, but not my character, to exalt my station." One year later, Hamilton was the responsible head of agreat commercial 'stablishment, con trolling the counting room, making distant ventures and malitaIning its credit. Such was his promise that at fifteen he was sent to the United States, then the colonies, for a collegi ate education. Is proposition to the President of Princeton to pass through the course as fa t as he could master It, without regard to the regular perilod of time, was rejected, and he entered Colun.bia College, New York. The Impending crisis with England was tihe occasion ofn a monster inass-nieting iti 'New York City. When the orators had closed their passionate appeals a slender lad of seventeen ascended Ihe platform. Curiosity soon gave plael 'to admiration, and ad mil ration to amazement and enastsic-Ai' appluhise as tle boy proceeded. y .i-s elo quence and logic, New York was per suaded to send a delegat ion to the Continental Congress. Nan.y. able stateslen oppoe(l tie m-esamle, but they were completely overwhlimed by anonymous pamiphlletsi wvhi.-h- wemiv ascribed to John Jay the bright est in tellect of the colony. When it was discovered that their author was a hov of eighteen, H maumion becaie the cynosure of all eyes. Yet lie eanlimd a mob that was on tic point, of atssail ing the submissioniists. The war enme. Hamilton equippiCd a coanlINy, and at the nge of nineteen became its cnpta in. During the gloomy retreat. through New Jersey a veterani oflicer noticed a company "which was i iodel or dis cipline; its captain a mere boy', wit h small, slender and delicate frtame, who, with cocked hat pulled down over his eyes, and apparenstly lost in tlhouglit, marched beside a cannion, patting it every now and then as it' it. were a favorite horse or a pet plaything,'" and was surprised when'u told it was the iamous Hamilton. But the y omneer neui the .is'uush at bay wi the American army crossed the Rari tan, and atPrinceton and Trenton his company won renown and lef't up)on the field three-fourths of their number. From the line, with its opportunities for distinction and promotion, the necessities of the Commander in-Chief drafted Hamilton into his .military family, and at twenty ho became th'e confidential aid of Washington. Here hie was of incalculable service in 'e dlueing the vast and complicated sys temi involved in the military and po0 hitical management of the new peoplle. At thme siege of Yorktown, Hamilton, at his own request, led the for'lor'n hope that vanquished Cornwallis and brought peace to the United States. Hie was then not twenty-four. The first convention after the Revo-. Jution wvas a failure, but Its address, 'wrItten by Uanmiltons, made the second a success. A complete system of gov ernment was presentcd by himi to the convention. When the Constitution was adloptedl New York, led by her wvar governor, Clinton, ref'used to ratify it, but liamiltoni overcame aln overwhelmiing mnajor'ity and carried the ratification t hrouglh. Hamnil'ton then devoted his attention to prlivate affair's, having already p)repared him self for the law ini three mnonths, and1 almOst at once having risen to the head of his pr'ofessioni. At the age of thirty-two, upon the call of' Washing toln, lie became first Secretary ot' the Treasuryv. The ne0w government had no0 credit anid was hle~lssly bankr'upt, coWmerce was dlest roved and trade paralyzed, lie cr'eatedl a system ot' flinancee that at once piced thte govern mient upon its feet, anld thus effeceted one of the greatest achievemsents of' his age. Later 0on, whens threatened with a wvar' with France, WailhingI~tonlci el('d Hamilton to the 'ommand~sit or' thle arimv. Fouri times was lhe thus enilie'd 1'ro'm private business to puble)1 a i ~dr . iUs brief upon libel and the' ihertyi of '' press has b~ecomle pait or' he (Con'. itn tion of States and t he stl at me: or kg.. land. Talleyranud, thei wondt( err'i diplomat, while v'isiting~ A merjO:icaan walking up) sti'eet inl New York oned night, said: "'1 have1 been one or' the. wonders of t he w~orb I. 1 hav'e oeen a mam laborinig all night to support')d'F hiis *family wvho hass lande t ortnneior a' nation."

I awardl the fIrst place to I hnni Itoni." To the object ll ion t. the othler's had dealt wvithi gre'ater' malsses aind larger interests in Europe, Tally rtand r'epl ied: ".But Hpmsniltonm divined Euriope." Tile subsequent car'eer' of' Ilail~tonm, his duel with lurmr in 18041, ansd his death the next day, at the age of for'ty seven years, are familiar' to ali sindensts pf history. What he mfight have aic coumplishied had Ils life beeni spared, is not known. - Ile may have beon ..able to turn the tide wh1ih soon set in against the Federal party and caused itscollapse slortdy after. Hamilton beildved it centralisation andi a strongigoiernmeit. , IRs last.t1 Blessage was, "ol God's sake, cease: COnversations adid threatenings about a separation of the Union." As a Democrat we cannot concur 10 the wisdom of his theory of goverungent; but all can bear testituony to his tasnsceet ability and to the emInent' services he rendered to his adopted land it her hour of need. Ilis life is an example and .in inspiration to young men. A N Vr BANKU$PT LAW. The Proposed Measue Intended to Furnish all the Bleneote of the Old Law, Wivthout ie DIsadvantages. Some months ago Hou. John Low ell, United States Circuit Judge of the Districts embracing Maine, Massachu setts, Rhode Island and New laimip shire, was solicited by the Board of Trade of Boston and other mercantile assoe!tions to frame a bill for the es tablishment of a uniform system of bankruptcy in the United States. With coiimendable dillirence the re qTest was complied witl, and Judge oLowell presented the draft of a bill for the consideration of Congress, which his long experience on the bench had convinced him was a great improvement upon the law of bank ruptcy which has recently been re pealCl. Copies of the proposed law were sent by a committee of mier chants to commercial associ!t1ons, registers in bankruptcy and many others interested in the subject, with a request for their critielsns. The answers received were generally fa 'orable to the plan of the proposed bill, but niany valuable suggestions were made as to niatters of detail. and these have been Incorporated in the text of a new bill, which will be brought forward at the next session of Congress. In drawing up the presont bill, the language of the old law has beei followed as ftr as practi cable, in order that use night be made of lie ntmerous Important decisions constrling that language under a forier law. I n Section 9 it. is provided that all Suate (coirtIs ire to have full Jurisdic tion o1 all actions between party and pirty uder the law, as distingiished i it more proceedings in bankruptcy. 4'ei o 11 and 12 provide that the cirin it.

The 26th section provided that tile att achments and transmissions made ill secret ay be availed of w .ithi three m1onlths1 alter tey haive become publlic by record, and so forthI. The cireditor hadl power to lput a dlebtor iinto bankrulptcy, is mlet by requlirinlg that. al. least three should join1 in . the petitioni when thlere are more than twelve creditors in all. SctionsB 38 iad 39 provide that the choice of ani assignee shall be made by the creditors, and that every assigne'e shall give a bond, and that small credi tors wh'Io are to be paid in full shall have no v'ote in such elcectiona. If a judgment creditor has seiz.ed the prop erl y, his lien will 1be dissolved, and tihe prop~erty or the monecy in the shaeritU's hlands shall belong to the assignee; providled, hlowever, all tihe creditors' cost shall be palid out of it. Section 44, inl the case of traders, priovides for| the exemplltion of thleir proplerty fromi the operation of bankruptcy upon01 the tooting of the State lawis to the exteint of $500, anld the State laws are left in full operation as to persons wiho are inot traders. Under' the bill as at present proposed, thle powers of as signees are the samle as under the 01(1 law, anvd provable debts are substan tially the same. Privileged dlebts are thme same as undl~er the old law, except that one per cnt. is to be plaid thle governmllent to meet thle expenlses in Dankruptcv. Compositionl is put upon anl enltirely I ditirerenlt fihotinlg from thlat w~hich it.i had under the old act. The purpose of both is the same ; niamely, to enlable a blameless dlebtor to arrange to the I satlithtion of his creditors without the expen1se anld delay of p~roceedin~gs 1 of' the0 most formnal chlaracter, and h thereby to save the good will of his business, wivle lie gives his ereditor's t as muchl as they cou1(lb ossibly obtain I under the delays of bankrupt'cy. Tro -t guard the rightls of creditors, it is pro. vided that at least oneC-third of the composition is to be paid in cash, andt I that tihe rest shiould be fllly and aim- I ly securced to tile satisfaction of the creditors and1( thle court ; andt wihenl this is alccomiplishecd, the debtor assumnes his fll rights as a trader, withoutC furthier embharrassment, and receives ar reCgualar discharuge as if he had gone thr ough ibanlkruptcy. Iln deserv ig (1cas, lie is allowed to manage his ettet, unider' the dIrection of the I (ourt, until the comlpositiona is areed I 14) or, rejected.

J01hitONVLtW, IND., NotT. 11.4-Tu tlie "t rtJon) of Stott eOun ty IW 6n t'of tl 1.maost noted pigeon roosts 'lil the MY*9t. Some hundred w Ores f forest are covered by this roost, nd here come every during the Aird ason nillions of wild pigeons. rhey commence arrivig about 6 o'clock 1n the Ovening, and the tIde cnthiues o >oui. in feequently until after iid !I lit. At daylhglatthiey begin to move > to their feed iag places, often him Ireds of milles away, leaving In sepa ate flocks in the same manner as thov irrive, and by 9 o'clock they have all rone-that Is, all that have escaped the mundreds of hunters that flock to the place. This Scott county pigeon roost Is known in the history of Indiana as the sceno of a terrible massacre. In Sep ember, 1812 a small colony of Iardy Aioneers had a .settlement near tie oost. It was the most westerly set lement in that direction front the falls >W the Ohio. On the evening of that lay lthe settlers were attacked by a gang of roving Pottawatotnies, out on ee warpath, and twenty-foui' of them, nostly women and children, niassa .red, their bodies being horribly man rled and afterwards partially burned n their cabins, which were' fired by le savages. But 'five of the settlers seaed-two of the family of John ,oll its, and a Mrs. Beadee and her *wo small children, which she carried it het arms and secreted in a sink-hole inill the Indians land left the scene of heir bloody work, when she again ook them in her arms and fled to the tearest settlement six miles away. The scenes at this pigeon roost dur ng the roosting season are exciting eyond description. Sportsmen visit he place rom all parte of the State, tied fron Kentucky and Ohio. The mnaters provide themselves with torch )s, shot guns, long poles and sacks to :ontain the birds, and thus equipped ,o to the work of slaughter. Thous mnds are killed every night. The yirds roost as low down as the limbs >f the trees will permit, and It is upon hose the polcs are used. The pigeons tre literally mowed down. The scene a bedlainic. In such immense num eas do the birds gather upon the trees hat the limbs are broken down, and here is a constant clatter of these racking, falling limbs, the whir of wvings as the birds rise and fly to the text. tree and crowd off other flocks or ittempt to alight upon them. Th rat, l of guns, the flashing of torches, tid the shouts of the butchers-for tportsmen they can not be properly mlled-all combine to make the place vividly wild and exciting. With the norning come droves of hogs to fat :en on the dead and wounded birds et scattered over the woods by the 3xcited hunters, who do not always 4t the work of slaughter when their acs are filled. At intervals of many years the )igreons chlanage their roosting place, xut tley do nt1t select a new locality very far away from (lie old one. A! 7ew nights ago-since the Presidential flection--the pigeons made a chunge. i'hteir old roosting place, known to tave been a pigeon roost for over dighty years, is in a strong Democratic elehborhood. A few nihhts ago they mXilden ly changed it, moving off a few niles into a Republican nighborhtood. Significant in view of' the threatened begira of the South from the Demo however, they are <quite as accessible to hunters as in the old.

TiIE UNITED STATEs COURT.-In'the United States Circuit Court the Jury brought in a scaled verdict Friday morning in the case niainst Roval Robinson, a colored Democrat, charged with repeating. The verdict was not guilty. Attorney-General Younmans went into court and gave notice thi.t he would move for the prosecution of Kane for the murder of Ladd. The Kane case was set for trial next Satur day. The motion is for an examina tion and discharge of the prisoners. Mr. Earle says that If the judge con cludes after examination that the kill ing was done by Kane in the discharge of his official duties he will probably discharge him. All day was occupied in the case of the United States against the managers of Davis precinct. W. H. Thomans, a United States supervi sor. F. Simmons, a deputy marshal, P. C.
