to us some measure of relief of this kind is required at this time to save thousands of our honest and industrious fellow citizens from utter ruin. Under the present law a creditor may be striped of his all without even remo ving the debt, thus plunging him into hopeless
pover'y, ami leaving a debt suspended over him that will forever weigh down his energies and ruin his spirits. Of the many evi dencesofthis fact that might be cited, we will take one that a correspondent has furnished us. The property oi a valuable citizen living in one of ihe Wabash counties, n ho had for many years been engaged in enterprises
useful totho con a try. w 1 taken in execution on a debt of betwee.i t?tree and four thousand

few days past. I he bill of the Senate (nntic

Wednesday morning and nn motion of Mr. Howies, was imme:iatdv rejected by a vote
of 47 to 43. Although the provisions of this
bill were exceptionable in many respect, we
think the treatment it received by the House was uncourteous, tosay the least, nnd may be the means of disturbing, in some measure, the harmonious action of the two Hou.es upon this deeply important question. The bill proposing to elect, by joint ballot, one t oik to he completed before others should be prosecuted, came up 011 its second reading, and, after some discussion, was laid on the table. This proposition seemed to meit with much more favor than was at first anticipated, aud the friends of certain short works became quite alarmed at the prospect of its passage.
