Its greatest is the discharge of a debtor from his contracts. And all intermediate legislation, affecting substance and form tending to further the great end of the subject, distribution and discharge are in the competency and discretion of Congress. With the policy of a law letting in all classes,-others as well as trans- and permitting the bankrupt to^come m voluntanly, and be discharged without the consent of his editors, the courts have no concern; it belongs to the lawmakers.””
