The Homestead Law.
There is no question in which nioro
interest is felt by our people than in
that whether the homestead law is law
?ad will stand. Wo have been frequent
ly asked-our opinion upon the question
and have been 'requested to express it
through our columns.
Without occupying space with apolo
gies for our inability and diffidence to
diicusa th'.? important legal question, we
will give it our consideration this week.
Wo contend that the Homestead ex
emption is a wise and beneficent pro
vision oflaw, sanctioned by a generous
humanity for the wives and children of
unfortunate or improvident husbands
and fathers, and operating for the peace
and welfare of the people and the State
in preventing the multiplication of pau
pers, and the immigration of our citizens,
consequent upon the general aud indis
ciiminnte sale of their homes, and com
ing in with peculiar benefit to eur peo
ple in postponing tho payment of debts,
which the result of the war bad prevent
ed their paying, and the payment of
which, now at once, would take all, their
homes and all that tho ravages of war
and defeat had loft them.
We contend that while it confers such
vital and intrinsic bcucQt to the debtor
it does not defeat the rights of tho credi
tor, it only postpone* tho payment of his
claims, and advances tho public good,
the weal of tho State, and "tho good of
Ute greatest number."
The Constitution of 18G8, was accept,
ed by the Congress of the United States,
as the basis upon which the State should
return to its right of representation in
tho Union, as the fundamental law
of the State, and the declared will
of tho people," under which they should
be restored to all the privileges of a
State. Now this Constitution. Article
2, Section 32, provides that,
'?The family homestead of the head of
each family residing in this State, such
homestead consisting of dwelling house,
outbuildings, and lauds to the value of
$1000, shall be exempt from attachment,
levy or sale, under any mesne or final
process issued from any court."
The Act of September 9th, 18G9, en
titled "An act to determine and perpet
uate the homestead," passed iu obcdicucc
to tliis provision of the Constitution, de
fines aud settles this as the law until
overruled by tho Supreme Court. The
Act of January 15th, 18G9, entitled,
"An act to punish Sheriffs and other
officers for violating the homestead,"
clearly shows the will aud determination
of the people to carry out and insist upon
the beneficial results of this law.
But while wc contend for the wisdom
and beneficent results of this law, and
insist that it is tho law iu South Caroli
na, notr, provided for in the Constitution
and enforced by these acts of the Legis
lature, still we do admit that there arc
tocbuical. Constitutional objections that
may be urged against its perpetuation.
Judge Krskinc of Georgia in a late
decision involving the constitutionality
of this lav, said that his duty was clear
ly marked out that "if any of the State
exemption laws are in conflict with the
Constitution of ?be United States they
must yield."
Indeed Article 6-, of the Constitution
of the United States is clour upon this
point. It says, "This Constitution aud
the laws of the United States?
made in pursuance thereof &c,
?hall be the supreme law of the
land; and the judges in every State |
?hall be bound thereby, anything in the
Constitution or laws of any State to the
contrary notwithstanding.
This language clearly points out tho
duties of Judges and in obedienco to
their oath of office, they may well hesi
tate as to whether this law is not in con
flict with the clause of the Constitution
of the United States, whioh prohibits
any State "from passing any law impair
ing the obligations of contracts."
Judge Orr, in his able opinion in the
case of tshelor vs. Mason, in Oeonee
County, says that this objection to the
law is met by numerous authorities, re
cognising tho right of State legislatures
to pass laws exempting property of a
debtor from levy and sale even for ante
cedent debts.
The learned J udgo contends that these
exemption* do no! destroy remeds
for enforcing contracts, but merely modi
fies it, without substantially impairing
its efficiency, aud therefore do not con
flict with tho provision of ( the Constitu
tion of the United Statt;?.*
This was the opinion of Judge Deuio
of New York, and of^Judge l'utuian of
Massachusetts, aud was tho decision of
the Supreme Court of Michigan.
Tho Supreme Court of Georgia, .has
decided in a recent caso, that the ex
emption of a homestead of the value of
?2000, authorized by the Constitution
of that State, from levy and sale, even
for antecedent debts, liens and judgments
is valid and docs not impair the obliga
tion of contracts. Tho Supreme Court
of the United States has admitted that
"laws may be passed by tho State legis
latures exempting tools or hosehold
goods from levy or salo under existing
contracts."
Judge Orr argues that "if tho princi
ple is once admitted that property may
be exempted, the enactment is not un
constitutional which simpiy enlarges tho
amount of property so exempt," and
"that the Homestead Exemption is as
constitutional as the old 'cow and bed'
law of this State."
Tho Statute of Limitations, the In
solvent Debtors Act, the Act abolishing
imprisonment of debtors, all these are
upon the same principle of generous hu
manity to the debtor and for the good of
the Stato aud all theso arc recognized
as constitutional ; then why should this
homestead exemption whose humane pro
vision will cheer aud bless thousands of
beggared families, and save the widows
and the little ones of our gallant and
hcroio dead from poverty, and crime,
why should this bo overruled and ren
dered null, uuder the plea of its uncon
stitutionally !
"All contracts arc made with a full
knowledge of the parties that the law
making power may modify the remedy."
Chief Justice Marshall said : "With
out impairing the obligation of the con
tract, the romcdy may certainly be modi
fied, as the wisdom of the nation shall
direct."
The wisdom and policy aud weal of
the State certainly directs that this hu
mane provision should be carried out
and enforced.
Judge Orr, also assumes tho position
that South Carolina was not under the
protection aud governanco of the Consti
tution of tho Uuited States, at the time
of tho ratification of tho Constitution of
1868, and the Supreme, Court of the
United States has decided that State
laws pas* od prior to 1798,?the date of
the ratification of the Constitution^?im
pairing the obligation of Contracts, wero
valid, as the Constitution prior to that
time did uot exercise any limit to State
legislation.
No damage is done by this law to the
creditor. By the decision that this law is
constitutional, his mortgage is good, is
recoguized but subject to the condition
that the defendant shall enjoy a home
stead, in accordance with the Constitu
tion and laws of this State. And this
modification of the creditors remedy is
for the good of the public, and the State,
in the cause of a high, and holy human
ity.
It is a maxim of general acceptation,
Fiat justitra, mat coelum. "Let justice
be done though the heavens full:" but
when Justice ran be done in accordance
with the dictates of a humane mercy,
and for the well being of the community,
we say let it be done in this way.
In conclusion regarding this law as
wise and beneficial, we hope that the
technical objections to it will be over
ruled, and this Homestead Law will be
established, snprenut lex.
Why They Dok't Advertise.?It
is a matter of surprise to many that all
merchants do not advertise. The sup
position is that if they have goods for
sale, they want people to know it, and it
is a mystery why they neglect the best
means of spreading this information.
The Marion SU.tr, however, clears up
the mystery. II says: "We ean't con
scientiously commend tho stock of thorn
merchant* who aft ?shamed to advertise
them. Goods of cheap and inferior
quality are not generally advertised
The shrewd and successful business man,
who deals only In jlrst clan articles, is
very apt to let ;ho public know it. A
merchant of this character always soils
the oheapest goods in tho end."
