of c.ery civilized country. For it must
be remembered that rogues attempt to
get whitewashed in oth r countries be-
sides Prince Edward Island. âThat they
so often succeed in going through the
process, the greater the pity. But while
the business men of those countries sce
and deplore the evils that attend the most
careful and guarded legislation on the
subject of bankruptcy, they nowhere
leave the unfortunate debtor to the ten-
der mereies of his creditorâthe humane
as wellas the cruelâthe reasonable as
well as the unreasonable. As they have
done, so must we do. Our legislators
must do their best to prevent the really
unfortunate man from being crushed to
the earth; while at the same time they
take every possible precaution to dis-
courage recklessness, extravagance, and
dishonesty.
The principal defects of our law seem
to us to be two. âThe first is thatit pro-
vides no direct means of forcing a man
to go into the Court. We think it but
right that the creditors of a business man
who have good reason to believe that a
debtor is either dishonestly or wastefully
making away with their property, should
have the privilege of calling him to ac-
count, and of saving as much as possible
out of the wreck of their property.. We
do not think that one or two of the eredi-
tors should have this power of forcing a
man into the Bankruptcy Court; but, at
any time, we are clearly of opinion, that
this power should, under salutary re-
strictions, be invested in those whose pro-
perty the debtor may be cither wasting,
or by dishonest means placing out of their
reach. An honest man need not be af.aid
of the investigatien of his affairs, and the
safety of the creditor might make such an
investigation absolutely necessary. The
knowledge that his creditors had such a
power over him, would make a reckless
man carefulâwould induce an extrava-
gant man to cultivate habits of industry
and economy, and would act as a whole:
some check on one who was inclined to
dishonesty; would, in short, tend to
keep them allâ straight:â â
In the second place, the amount of in-
debtedness necessary to enable a man to
take advantage of the law, 18 roo SMALU.
The law wss chivily intended for the re-
lief of business men; but it seems that
men who are not now in business, and
who have neyer been in business, are en-
deavoring to take advantage of its pro-
visions. âThis, we believe, was not the
i..tention of the framers of the law. âThis
is a defect which can very easily be re-
medied. âThe insertion of the words
three, four or five hundred pounds, in-
stead of one hundred, will, we belicve,
make a yery decided improvement in the
Law.
The Telegraph Line to Casoumpec !
In our notes of a trip to the Westward,
we mentioned that a considerable number
of cedar posts intended for the new line of
âTelegraph from Summerside to Cascum-
ee, were lying along the Western Road.
Ve are now informed that most of the
posts required tor the line are cut and
ready, and that as soon as the spring opens
they will be erected along the who.e ex-
tent, thus giving direct telegraphic com-
munication with the fishing fleet in. the
gulf. As this is an object of importance to
business men, itis to be hoped that the
subscription list in Summerside will be
large. The contracts have been taken
at the lowest possible figure, and, indeed,
cannot be completed without loss, unless
the public, who are interested, make a
liberal grant in aid. The number of ce-
dar posts required is not much short of two
thousand, essrs. McLennan, Kirwan
and Rogers are the Committee to receive
subscriptions. âCom.
Trotrine Maren.âOn Saturday last, a
Trotting Match came off on the ive in this
harbor. Only five horses were entered.
âThe distance was one mile. The first heat
the mare owned by James Tuplin (driven
by Wm. Tuplin) came in first; Vulcan,â
owned by R. Hibbett, second; a mare
owned by Stephen MeNeill, third; and
John Bethuneâs mare fourth. On the se-
cond heat all the horses came in as in the
first heat, and the four prizes were awiard-
ed to them, The horse ** Valeanâ trotted
the two heats without ever breaking once,
and the last time nearly came in ahead.
After the trot was over, about twenty gen-
tlemen, who were instrumental in getting
up the race, assembled at the â* Ocean
Houseâ and partook of a dinner, which
was served in Mrs. Hibbett's most excel-
lent style. After the dinner, the company
formed themselves into a meeting for the
Nits of forming a Trotting ⏠RK.
Lunt, Esq., was called to the chair, and a
motion put and carried that the Club be
ealled the * Prince County Trotting Ciub,â
and that the entrance fee tor membership
be one dollar, Richard [unt. Esq. was ap
pointed President, and C. C. Gardiner,
Esq., Secretary and âTreasurer,
Ilunter DuVar, Esq., who was present
by invitation, addressed the Club. Ie
spoke of the good name the Islund horses
had in the Provinees, and of the necessity
of pecbebig iE farmers, in every way, to
raise good stock. He also made some
very practical remarks on the necessity ol
the Government giving a license to those
hoyses only that had been inspected by
persons competent to judge of the quality
of a horse, thus doing away with so many,
miserable horses that are now allowed to
travel, â
Some trotting matches are attended with
a good deal of noise and drinking, but on
Saturday last we saw none of this; every-
thing went off quietly and soberly,
Wuat ts tue Country Comina ro ?âIt
is suid that there were over 260 cases be-
fore the Small Debt Court in this Town on
Wednesday, the 17th inst, âThe sooner
the credit system, now so prevalent, is
done away with, the better it will be
for the country, especially for the buy-
erand seller. We heard of a case the
other day where the debt was only 3s. 6d.,
but after the individual was sued and an
exccution issued, it was 228. 6d. Now
this was the manâs own fault, Many per-
rons thus allow themselves to be sued for
a trifling sum, When the debt isa just one
the debtor should make an effort to pay it,
or come to some understanding with the
creditor. In ten cases out of twenty, il
delinquents would even deign to call on
thelr ereditérs, they would not be sued,
We know there are many cuses that it is
necosaary to have decided by a Court, for
unjust dcmands are very often made; but
the one-halfot the cases brought before
our Small Debt Courts ought to be settled
outside, They only tend, in many instan-
ccs, to give the parties an Opportunity to
SUMME
â* pitch into exch other.â It is really as-
tonishing to tind how men ot intelligence
aud respectability will sometimes forget
themselves when they have a case in
Court, and will endeavor, in the most dis-
honorable way, to browbeat their oppe-
nents, All this should not be, and the only
way to prevent it is to do away with the
credit system,

a speedy termination of the conflict.â

Anoturr Strapping Case.âOn the night
of the 17th inst., two young men, named
Carrol and Pine, went into the house of one
Murphy, near the head of Queen Street.
Carrol had a quarrel with Murphy during the
day, and the moment they met again, it was
renewed. Vine interfered, and tried to keep
the parties from fighting, when Carrol, who
was under the influence of liquor, drew his
knife, and stabbed him in the groin, inflicting
a wound, which, had it been an inch higher,
would have been fatal. Carrol was arrested
immediately, and is now in prison awaiting
exanunation when Pine is sufliciently re-
covered to be able to appear in Court against
him. âThis stabbing business is becoming too
common in our must, and we hope the strong
urm of the law will be enabled to cheek it,

of c.ery civilized country. For it must
be remembered that rogues attempt to
get whitewashed in oth r countries be-
sides Prince Edward Island. âThat they
so often succeed in going through the
process, the greater the pity. But while
the business men of those countries sce
and deplore the evils that attend the most
careful and guarded legislation on the
subject of bankruptcy, they nowhere
leave the unfortunate debtor to the ten-
der mereies of his creditorâthe humane
as wellas the cruelâthe reasonable as
well as the unreasonable. As they have
done, so must we do. Our legislators
must do their best to prevent the really
unfortunate man from being crushed to
the earth; while at the same time they
take every possible precaution to dis-
courage recklessness, extravagance, and
dishonesty.
The principal defects of our law seem
to us to be two. âThe first is thatit pro-
vides no direct means of forcing a man
to go into the Court. We think it but
right that the creditors of a business man
who have good reason to believe that a
debtor is either dishonestly or wastefully
making away with their property, should
have the privilege of calling him to ac-
count, and of saving as much as possible
out of the wreck of their property.. We
do not think that one or two of the eredi-
tors should have this power of forcing a
man into the Bankruptcy Court; but, at
any time, we are clearly of opinion, that
this power should, under salutary re-
strictions, be invested in those whose pro-
perty the debtor may be cither wasting,
or by dishonest means placing out of their
reach. An honest man need not be af.aid
of the investigatien of his affairs, and the
safety of the creditor might make such an
investigation absolutely necessary. The
knowledge that his creditors had such a
power over him, would make a reckless
man carefulâwould induce an extrava-
gant man to cultivate habits of industry
and economy, and would act as a whole:
some check on one who was inclined to
dishonesty; would, in short, tend to
keep them allâ straight:â â
In the second place, the amount of in-
debtedness necessary to enable a man to
take advantage of the law, 18 roo SMALU.
The law wss chivily intended for the re-
lief of business men; but it seems that
men who are not now in business, and
who have neyer been in business, are en-
deavoring to take advantage of its pro-
visions. âThis, we believe, was not the
i..tention of the framers of the law. âThis
is a defect which can very easily be re-
medied. âThe insertion of the words
three, four or five hundred pounds, in-
stead of one hundred, will, we belicve,
make a yery decided improvement in the
Law.
The Telegraph Line to Casoumpec !
In our notes of a trip to the Westward,
we mentioned that a considerable number
of cedar posts intended for the new line of
âTelegraph from Summerside to Cascum-
ee, were lying along the Western Road.
Ve are now informed that most of the
posts required tor the line are cut and
ready, and that as soon as the spring opens
they will be erected along the who.e ex-
tent, thus giving direct telegraphic com-
munication with the fishing fleet in. the
gulf. As this is an object of importance to
business men, itis to be hoped that the
subscription list in Summerside will be
large. The contracts have been taken
at the lowest possible figure, and, indeed,
cannot be completed without loss, unless
the public, who are interested, make a
liberal grant in aid. The number of ce-
dar posts required is not much short of two
thousand, essrs. McLennan, Kirwan
and Rogers are the Committee to receive
subscriptions. âCom.
Trotrine Maren.âOn Saturday last, a
Trotting Match came off on the ive in this
harbor. Only five horses were entered.
âThe distance was one mile. The first heat
the mare owned by James Tuplin (driven
by Wm. Tuplin) came in first; Vulcan,â
owned by R. Hibbett, second; a mare
owned by Stephen MeNeill, third; and
John Bethuneâs mare fourth. On the se-
cond heat all the horses came in as in the
first heat, and the four prizes were awiard-
ed to them, The horse ** Valeanâ trotted
the two heats without ever breaking once,
and the last time nearly came in ahead.
After the trot was over, about twenty gen-
tlemen, who were instrumental in getting
up the race, assembled at the â* Ocean
Houseâ and partook of a dinner, which
was served in Mrs. Hibbett's most excel-
lent style. After the dinner, the company
formed themselves into a meeting for the
Nits of forming a Trotting ⏠RK.
Lunt, Esq., was called to the chair, and a
motion put and carried that the Club be
ealled the * Prince County Trotting Ciub,â
and that the entrance fee tor membership
be one dollar, Richard [unt. Esq. was ap
pointed President, and C. C. Gardiner,
Esq., Secretary and âTreasurer,
Ilunter DuVar, Esq., who was present
by invitation, addressed the Club. Ie
spoke of the good name the Islund horses
had in the Provinees, and of the necessity
of pecbebig iE farmers, in every way, to
raise good stock. He also made some
very practical remarks on the necessity ol
the Government giving a license to those
hoyses only that had been inspected by
persons competent to judge of the quality
of a horse, thus doing away with so many,
miserable horses that are now allowed to
travel, â
Some trotting matches are attended with
a good deal of noise and drinking, but on
Saturday last we saw none of this; every-
thing went off quietly and soberly,
Wuat ts tue Country Comina ro ?âIt
is suid that there were over 260 cases be-
fore the Small Debt Court in this Town on
Wednesday, the 17th inst, âThe sooner
the credit system, now so prevalent, is
done away with, the better it will be
for the country, especially for the buy-
erand seller. We heard of a case the
other day where the debt was only 3s. 6d.,
but after the individual was sued and an
exccution issued, it was 228. 6d. Now
this was the manâs own fault, Many per-
rons thus allow themselves to be sued for
a trifling sum, When the debt isa just one
the debtor should make an effort to pay it,
or come to some understanding with the
creditor. In ten cases out of twenty, il
delinquents would even deign to call on
thelr ereditérs, they would not be sued,
We know there are many cuses that it is
necosaary to have decided by a Court, for
unjust dcmands are very often made; but
the one-halfot the cases brought before
our Small Debt Courts ought to be settled
outside, They only tend, in many instan-
ccs, to give the parties an Opportunity to
SUMME
â* pitch into exch other.â It is really as-
tonishing to tind how men ot intelligence
aud respectability will sometimes forget
themselves when they have a case in
Court, and will endeavor, in the most dis-
honorable way, to browbeat their oppe-
nents, All this should not be, and the only
way to prevent it is to do away with the
credit system,

Carrol had a quarrel with Murphy during the
