The great rush to file petitions in volurtary bank- wuptcy 1s due toa misunderstanding of the thirty-third Bection of the act. It was supposed, from en incorrect Saterpretation of tho section, that the last day for filing oluntary petiiions was the last day of February, and ‘Qdat the Afty cont clause came into opertion on the 1st @ay of March, or 2d, Sunday being a dies non, Ina into @sticle ‘in these columns i was distinctly set forth that the period of filing voluniary pe: Sitions, as allowed by the act, did not exp ‘Gl the Sst day of May, when the dling of voluntary Petitions was to cease, and the operation of thi» most Ridiculous law—the Afty per cent section—was to follow, ‘Fhere was not the slightest occasion for petitioners to be Burried in their action, anticipating the Ist of March to- Stead of June 1, as the expiration term of tho present ‘@peration of tno law, Mr, Edwia James, who has written & work on bankruptey, bas been appealed to profegsior lly as to bis reading of the Jaw, within what time peti- for voluntary bankruptcy can be tiled beiore com- within the action of the fiity cent clause, and he ys that “a petitioner may file his petition in voluntary bankruptcy at any time before the Ist of Juue next, and ‘wpon that day, without subject to the Provisions of the thirty-third section of the act, which @eclares ‘that in all proceedings in baukruptcy com- Menced after one yoar from time this act shall go Muto operation no discharge shall be granted to a debior whose assets do not pay fifty per centum of the elaima against his estate.” The section (fifty) which Provides when the act shall take effect as to the appoint- ‘Ment of the oMcera created by it, speaking of the lst @f March for that purpose, has caused a great deal of froubie and led to the misunderstanding of the act gen- My.

Politics have always ranked high here for a fortnight or so pre. ceding election, but it hag been reserved for this time and occasion for the people to give atl other worldly affairs and consider the affairs of the country, and determine how to exercise their right of suffrage to improve them. Chesbiro county in general and Keene in particular have for a dozen years been the Deadquarters of Now Hampsbire radicalism. So far as actual strength is concerned and the confidence which the republicaus have bad in the little patch of territory towards perpetuating their power from yoar to year has only been equalled by the sorrow of their opponents, ‘This town bas usually been geod for arepublican majerity of one-third, and with a very slight reduction im figures the same statement will apply to the whole of Cheshire county, This year, howe although at the last mo- ment, the conservatives have determined to make bold assault upon the ranks of their political opponents, and it is safe to assumo that both im tho wown and county they will make handsome gains, although it {fs equally certain they will, as in years before, remain in tho minority. To carry out their fond desires they could not bave bit upon awiser plan than to arrange for Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, to make his opening campaign speech here, which event took place this evening, Ho spokein the Town Hall, a structure which accommodated between ten and twelve hundred, there were probably half as mapy more who could not gotin atall, special trains came in from the different directions, and man) in private conveyances, and all were heavily load All expected, of course, the speaker would discuss the impeachment question, and ly this anticipati accounts for the presence of many who aro act! ie Other party, They were all disappointed, however, for Mr, Doolittle, in view of the fact that he ig soon to sit im jadgment upon the case, very wisely refrained from expressing any opinion upon tue matter. The manner, though, in which he discussed other topics did net have much room to doubt his views upon the question which a fow days ago caused such commotion among all shades and classes of New Hampsbire politic ans, Mr. Doolittle, upon being introduced as an able de- fender of the constitution, was received with # hearty round of rural applause.
