A final decision en this question,

by the Supremo Court of this State,
As this decision will have a diiect
bearing on many claims to homesteads

Mrs. K.oncdy, a widow, claim vd a
homestead in hti husband's property.
This homestead was claimed against
he rights oi creditors, whoso claims
were contracted with the deceased
hurhand prior to the adoption of ttin
Slate Constitution, in April, lb<58,
providing Jbr homesteads.
The creditors demurred to tlx decision
of he ii fori or courts, allowing
the honw.-stead against claims contracted
prior to the adoption of the con $ti
tution, and it was carried up to the
Supreme (Jourt. That court confirmed

"(Tmeial Kershaw explained that
whatever might hav< been said in the

The president raid that that might

tiorc some general talk followed,

"I have never soon a speech equal

"As the delegation wore about retiring,
President Grant expressed Ma
good wishes for the future prosperity
of the Slate, and Ida Hope that when
thov came to lay their memorial helore
Congress some propov practicable
plan for the redress of their grievances
might ho found."
This was the only crumb of consola

the pelitiou of a nurturing people.
Wvcn as an individual it was beneath
i him to t nl e exceptions at a speech tl at
was not published or commented 011
in but ono paper in the State. As
President, wo think the dignity of his
oflico should have caused him to have
laid aside personalities.

only righteous man in Sodom, both

boar of "heavy taxes ' is held upas the
great ami final argument against it.
''Our taxes arc heavy enough now,"
says one, "ami no can't veto to add
to them;" and in this way the matter
i?j suinmarialy dismissed with
out any further examination, when
perhaps if 'lie subject was carefully
looked into, it might bo found that
instead,*,! increasing the bu den (the
purpose for which the aid was given
being accomplished) it is made liguUm
to carry bv reason of the additionag
strength. Tlie writer desires to show
that this i3 clearly ths* case in the mat
tor upon which the people of this m unty
will soon bo ashed to vote, viz:
Subscribing for preferred ?ock of the
l ittle Kiver and Chora w llailrond, ami
issuing bonds in payment therefor.
This enterprise, which has been canvassed
in this county lor over a year,
and on which the preliminary survey 1
have been made, has now reached a
stage when, by the ftUl of the various
counties interested 111 th< i. corporate
c:n unties, tho w-: of construction
may 1 c sj eedily commenced; and it i:;
now prop,used to ask ol 1 tovry oouiny
to issue its bonds to the amount of

r.l least an average ot one dollar per

of personal property consequent
upon the increase ol business and business

$150,000 more. Nor must the m

And you have. .$2,150,000.00
as a basis for taxation. Kow the
amount raised for county purposes by
the present tax ol 3 mills is about
$3,000, to which let us add the $3,900
required to nay interest on the bonds
we issue, making, in all, $7,soo. Then
deduct from this the. amount to be received
by the county as interest on
its preferred clock $4,550, and we
have thon but $3,220 to be raised from
taxation on our taxablo property of
$2,150,000 which will only require
one and a half mill against the three
millv. wo now pay. In other words,

the Hail road Company will never
earn enough to enable them to pay

then the worst that could befall tho

The bill to regulate commerce, by
railroad, among the several States,
which was passed by the United
States House oi Representatives bv a
vote of PI to 110, places all the great
lines of internal ivaflic and travel under
a iiuroau ot nine commissioner^
to be appointed by the President ami
Senate. It gives them the power to
prescribe the rates at w) ch pa.ssongcrs
and freight shall no transported,
and power also to "chancre and revRn
r' f " " ' *"v
schedules aa oil on as cireumsta ices
icquire." Provision is also made :or
what is called "thorough investigation
and inquiry" into railroad manage
mont. The bill, in iact, gives tho
Washington Luroau die power to do
pretty inn oh aa they liko with ihcso
great corporations, and imposea do
limit to tho whims, or caprices, or
meddling disposition of the commissioners.
Put tho gentlemen who are
to constitute the Ou refill aro icquir
to bo "disinterested persons," a lull
supply of whom can always ho found
at the Ke.lrul Capital, The Baste .
railroad magnates may enro very iitiio
