TII3 HOMESTEAD LAW.
Important Decision of the State SuI
promo Court.
John C. Cochran, executor, appellant,
vs. Michael Darcy, respondent;
Michael Darey, respondent, vs. .lohn
v/. v o<hran, appellant. Supreme
Court, November term, 187d.
()pinions: Moses, (\ J.
These eases involve the judgment 1
ol this court in rt-reme(f>/-'l S. C. K.,
210?and seek lo reverse il, under the
authority of Clunn vs. Harry, derided
by the Supreme Court of the United
I States at December term, 1875?15
, Wallace, 010.
It is true, as submitted by the respondent,
that in Cunu vs. Harry the
(piestiou directly made was as to the
etl'ecl of a homestead exemption on a
judgment obtained before its allowance
by the constitution ar.d act ol
the t leneral Assembly ot the State of
vJcorgia, still it is so apparent tliat, in
the view of the court, the retrospective
operation of such provision
against all previous contracts was
void, because in violation ol the tenth
section ol the first article of the Constitution
of the United States, which
declares "that no Slate shall pass any
law impairing the obligation of contracts,"
that we teel bound to regard
the opinion as expressive of the v iews
of the court to the lull extent to which
the reason which it assigns may cany
i it.
A respect to the duty which we
owe to the highest tribunal of the
country, as well as to ourselves, requires
that we should not only give to
the decision all proper ellciet in the
case as presented by the facts, but
that we should accept the argument
ol the opinion as it a Heels the general
question involved in its judgment.
We yield a ready assent to what
.M r. J ustiee <?i ier says Cook vs. Motfat,
(t alt o Howard, 308. "The C\ n j
stitutioh of the United Slates is the
sup i erne law of the land, and hinds
every Jorum, whether it derives ils
authority i'rom a State or Irom the
j United State. When this court lias
J declared State legislation to he in eon j
jlict with the Constitution of the |
j United States, and therefore void, the j
State tribun ds are bound to conlorm |
to such decision/' |
The constit ution of (leorgia declared
that each head of a family should he I
allowed a certain amount of realty as |
well as personalty, and that no court
or ministerial officer should ever have
jurisdiction or authority to enforce i
any judgment, decree or execution
against such property except tor taxes,
and so forth. Tim Legislature of the j
same State, in October, 1808, passed
"An act to provide tor the setting
apart the homestead as required by
the constitution." In the eases before |
us, the exception was claimed undi r
the constitution and acts of the (-Jenereral
Assembly of t his State, which, ex- j
eept as to the amount of homestead
allowed and the prohibition of juris- |
diction by the courts, were of'the. same j
character as those provided hy the
constitution and laws of (leorgia. In
the application of the principles which
are to govern their enforcement, as
proposed by the two States, 110 difference
can be found to exist. The emphatic
language ol the opinion bears
directly upon the general powers of the
State to withdraw from a contract any
substantial right which attached i<>
it at its inception, and must be viewed
and accepted as the expression of the
court in regard to all homestead exceptions.
It is in these words:
''The legal remedies for the enforcement
of the contract-, which belong to
... 7 n
,t .,1 i ik. ? . 1 ?
. ? t.w ...v, liiiiu ?v 11 (I plilC-C WlUTC it is
made, are a part of its obligation. A
State may change them, provided the
change ivolve no impairmentot a substantial
right. It the provision ot the
constitution or the legislative act of ;i
State fall \sithiii the category last men
tioned they are to that extent utterly
void. They are for sill the purposes
of the contract which they impair, as
it lhey had never existed. The constitutional
provision and statute here i
in question are clearly within the
category and are therefore void."
The contracts on which these actions
are founded were entered into
before the adoption of our constitution, ,
and we can perceive in them no element
in regard to homestead law,
which withdraws them fiom the principles
announced in Gun vs1 Harry.
The motions are granted and the
eases remanded to the Circuit Court. I
I certify that the foregoing and preceding
pages arc :i correct copy of the |
original opinion of tin Supreme Court
in the cases of Darcy vs. Cochran and
Cochran vs. Darcy, tiled 12th March,
1874.

Plough deep :tii<I liut*, tlr.it the soil
may bo well pit!vcrized to a good
depth, in order that the roots of all
crops and trees may be able easily and
richly to appropriate all the plantfood
from the giound, which they
need for thiihy growth. Peep
ploughing also does very much to
prevent the bad cliecfs of drouth, by |
allowing the moisture to rise from helow,
when the ground becomes dry
and warm on the surface; it is alike
beneficial in cases of excess of rain, by i
allowing the surplus water more readily
to sink out ot the way.
To ctlccl the same ends still better,
and to have your lands warm, dry and j
porous, drain them well with surface!
drains, where that will answer, and
with under drains where they are!
needed; the improvement in yield, as
well of quality as in quantity, will
pay all ot tin* expense in a very short
time, besides making the farm more
healthy for both plants and human oe
eupanls; while often, in ni.iuy localities,
those under drains furnish
abun lance of good stock water, where
I none was known before; and then it, is
more pleasant tilling the soil. Orchards,
particularly, are greatly benefitted
by deep, thorough drainage, both
in the health of the trees, ami the,
improved size and flavor ol the
fruit.

A Wonderful Cavo in Western North
Carolina.
In ihe I'iin^u (if mountains in Western
North C'nroliua known as the "Fork
I?nn'_',e,M a ill' **t> singular j?henoinenon
exists, It is n breathing cave. In tin1
sununer months a current of air conies
from it so strongly that a person can't
walk against it., while in tin.; winter
tin; suction is as great. The cool air
trom the mountains in lite Riunmer is
felt for miles, in a direct line front the
mouth of the cave. At times a most
unpleasant o<lor is emitted upon tin1
current from the dead carcasses ol animals
sucked in and killed by the vio
lence. The loss of catt le stock in that
section in winter is accounted for in
this way: They range too near t!ie
month of the cave, and the current
carries them in. At times when the
change lroni inhaling to exhaling begins
the air is filled with various hairs
of animals, not unlYcnjuenlly hones
and whole carcasses are seen miles
front the place. The air lias been
known to change materially in temperature
during exhalation, from ipiite
cool to unpleasant') hot, withering
vegetation within reach, and accompanied
)>y alcriihle roaring, gurgling
sound, as a pot, boiling. It is unaccounted

round, and the duke caivlully put Ins

for his grace, who dipped his hand

anothei florin, which he. laid by the
side ol the first. The little snob soon
followed suit hy laying another sovereign
beside the first. His grace quietly
added another florin, which was
capped by a third sovereign on the part
of the little snob. ( hit came a fourth
florin to swell tin; duke's donation,
then the little snob triumphantly laid
three sovereigns at once upon the

told that story, and I think on tne

He would occupy a seat very close t<>

annoyed the wakeful portion of the
congregation, and more especially the
preacher. Knowing the elder's great
