The Homestead Law.
We clip the followiug able aitic
from the Southern Enterprise, tho on
pnper published now at Grecenville,
0., and one as well edited as any in tl
State:
"A writer in tho Charleston Net
signing hiuiseli' ''Jusiice," is insisti
thut the enlightened and able decisions
of Judge Orr and other Circuit Judy's
sustaining the Homestead Law, are ;d!
wrong, and he predicts that the Supreme
Court of this State will declurc it inope
rative, as to debts existing prior to its
adoption, as the iundauientul law of the
Stute. It may be possible thut the Su
preme Court will declare the Homestead
Act unconstitutional, but that will not
?nike it so, or convince anybody that
docs not want to be convinced?Judges
may find ph.usiblu grounds for annulling
almost any luw a Statu passe- on the
Score of impairing contracts, if they take
into consideration mere consequent id
considerati<ins; but a general law, like
[ the Homestead, to protect families from
bciug turned out paupers and beggars
into the highways and hedges, does nut
directly interfere with anybody's con
tracts; least of all. with contracts before
the war nud during the War, for they did
nut anticipate existing facts or contract
upon them. '?Justice,'' ns he si^tis him
self, (one ?iilul justice he seems to us)
may be gratified tit a decision of the Su
preme Court of the Si. te in accordance
j with the homo-expelling, uushelleritig
and SitCIUiuuiailig policy id tin se who
have less sympathy for the unfortunate
debtor and the humane and rational side
ot the law, than for its technicalities;
who, unlike. Judge Orr, have nut the
breadth of iniml und heart to take iuto
cour,iiiciatioii furl* of the case, and the
sound reasouiug arising from those facts.
Whatever theoretical view in ay have
been expressed by some of the Judges
ot the United States Courts as to the
State being all the time under the si riet
rules of the Constitution of the United
Stales, everybody knows that it is not a
f ct. Such was not the faet at the time
the present Constitution ot* South Caro
lina was framed, and '?Justice" caunot,
by truth, maintain that it was any Con
stitution till vitalized by Act of Congress
according to the Reconstruction haws
under which we now live, and move und
have our being nan State. We were not
recognized as u State under the Constitu
tion.
The truth Is. ns intimated. Courts may
give plausible reusoiis for setting aside
any Act of the l^egwlafue they pleuse,
if you will argue th.it. by some conse
quence, they inter/ere with somebody's
contract?the liue of argument that some
resort to?would annihilate ull State leg
islation. Hut there are some laws and
remedies for contracts that have been
again and again set aside by State legis
lation, and scarcely any one has dared to
question them ; such, tor instance, us the
luw in' arrest and imprisonment for debt.
This was a more ellee.uaI remedy, gene
rally, than the right to sell the family
homestead of a thousand didlais because
all men. necessarily, hud bodies to be
tortured whereby they could be com
pelled to assign everything they had in
possession?or in future?money, debts

Most men also hnd some telutive or
friends that might be forced to go their
security, or help theui in some way by
this terrible remedy of arrest uud im
prisonment luwl'ully possessed by every
creditor, and especially b*' every judg

Death of George Peabody
A cable dispatch this morning an
nounces the death of the eminent philan
thropist. George Peabody, an announce
ment which will be received with the
deepest regret wherever his name and
benevolent d.cds have become knowu.
and nowhere more so than in R. It innre.
Tbc dispatch is dated London, Novem
ber 4th, midnight, and was received hero
about eleven o'clock List evening, cnu
veying simply the statement that''George
Peabody died at 11J o'clock P.
which hour. allowing for the difference
of time, was nbout the same its eight
o'clock in Baltimore.
Mr. Peabody was born in Duuvcrs.
Muss., February 18, 1895. He was the
son ot poor parents, and bis early educa
tion was acquired in the district schools,
lie was placed as assistant to a grocer in
bis town at the uge of eleven, and in bis
sixteenth year went to Newburyport as
clerk for his elder brother, who had
opened a dry goods store there. This es
tablishment being burned down, ho wont
with au uncle to Georgetown. 1). C.
where, for the following two years, the
business was conducted in bis name,
though a minor. In 1814 be withdrew
from the business, and became a partner
of Mr. Elisha Rigg*, in the wholesale
dry goods trade. Mr Bigg* furnished
the ueces?try capital und intrusted the
management to Mr. Peabody. The ucxt
year the house was removed to this city.
Here it attracted a large business, and
in 1822 brauch houses were established
in New York und Philadelphia. Mr.
Peabody's first visit to Europe was in
1827, g*iug to buy goods. In 1820.
Mr. Biggs retired, ami Mr Peabody be
came senior partner in the bouse.
On bis visits to Europo the State of
Maryland repeatedly eutrusted him with
important negotiations, which were inva
bly conduct* d with success. In 1837 be
took up bis permanent residenee in Eng
land, and iu IS til. having withdrawn
from the firm of Pea body, Biggs & Co.,
he established himself in London as a
merchant and banker. II is exertions are
said to have contributed greatly to main
taining the confidence iu American re
sponsibility which bad well nigh failed
in the disastrous period of 1837, und bis
repeated and important favors iu this re
spect to the State of Maryland were
gratefully acknowledged, but he refused
all compeiisutiou for thctu. In 1856-7
he gave the sum of $300,000. with a
pledge to increase it to 8500,000, to
found an institute in Baltimore (now
known us the Pcabody Institute) for the
promotion of science, literature and the
line arts. He subsequently increased it
to 81.000.000. and more recently udded
the sum of 8100,000 iu Virginia and
Tennessee bonds.
The list of bis charities t.? benevolent
and educational purposes, including bis
munificent contributions to institutions
in his native town of Danvcrs. for lodg
ing bouses for the poor of London, for
professorships in Yule and other New
England colleges, and lastly, but not
Icustly, his great donation for education
lu the South, reaches iu the aggregate

\n if
they had employed all his wealth in
rcariug a monument over his remains,
have buill a structuio ^hioh could be
seen as far, or bo entwinod by the af
fections and admiration of such myriads
cf the human race, as the good and
generous deeds which have been restricted
by no boundaries! of section or sect, or
nation, and whien have associated so
many throbs of happiness aud gratitude
with the venerable and beloved name of
George Pcabody.
Th.it thore will be proper marks of
respect paid the memory of this great
philanthropist in Baltimore, as well as at
other points, theft cau be no doubt,
prompted by reverence for his name and
gratitudo tor his deeds.?Sun.

Ick Mountain in West Viroimia.
On the east batik of the North river iu
Hampshire county, West Va , is perhaps
one of the greatest curiosities in the
State. It is literally an Ice Mountain,
in height from 400 to 500 fect. The
Weatern side of thia mountain is covered
with loose stone, of a light color from
base to summit. By removing the stone
pure solid crystal ice can be found in
the warmest days of summer, and it has
been found there as lute as the middle of
September. It may exist throughout
the entire year if the rocks were removed
to a Millieieut dcpih. What seems
strange is thai the side of the mountain
where the ice is found is exposed to the
sun throughout the day, nud it is said
that the sun docs not have as much ef
fect in melting the ice ns continuous
rains. At the base of this mountain is a
spring of water very clear and cold.
Some years ago, the owner of the pro
perty removed tho stone and erected a
small log dairy or spring house in which
meals can be kept at any season as safe
ly ns they can be preserved in an ire
house. Flies aud suukes sometimes find
their way into the spring house whore
they immediately become chilled and
torpid. On being removed, they soon
recover life and motion. This celebrated
mountain is situated 20 miles northeast
of Winchester aud 1(5 miles cast of Rom
uey, in Hampshire county, W. Yu.?

A bloody affray occurred near Waco,
Texas, on Monday week. It appears
that two brothers named Grimes, who

arrest, fired upon the polite, wounding
a Federal soldier, named Connelly, in

by a squad of soldiers, who overtook
them about two miles from town. The

A IlAlin Winter COMING.?Scientific
men, observant woodsmen, old hunters
aud other Wat her wise individuals pro
diet that the coming Winter will be of
unusual rigor. To the West und North
west the beavers and prarie dogs have
commenced their prep n ations for frost
much earlier than is their wont; and ou
the Atlantic coast the frequent storms
are harbingers of the wrathful Cold to
como. The Winter of 1859 GO Was
remarkably mild, only paralleled bv the
Winters of 1822, "JS and 84. Since
lH?'.l 00 the years have been quite wann,
dry and elear. corresponding with a
? insularly light pressure ol the barometer.
It seems that we urn lo p:.y for all those
benefactions, and tho Winter of 18011 70
will tell severly upou large portions of
this country.

What Planters Should Do With
Their Money.
The "Now Orleans Picayuue" expects
planters to have a surplus of money at
the end cf this season. It advises thoui
how to spend it:
. The planter should determine to in
crease the wealth of his plantation, and
consequently his own. Should he do it
merely by expensive building, he may
not effect this; for if his land becomes
poor, purchasers will not buy merely to
enjoy his builds.
But if he improves the fertility of his
laud, and though this may not be needed,
procures the means for the most thorough
cultivation and the most economical sav
ing of the crops, set out standard fruit
trees of the bast and most profitable sorts,
ect., he will effectually add a permanent
value to his propcrtj, which will adhorc
to it though adverse seasons may tem
porarily tend to dishearten him.
So the merchant and tradesman should
invest of their net gains in railroads,
factories, and other enterprises in their
rcspectivo localities, thus increasing their
real estate, which thoy certainly should
acquire, and add to the business prosperi
ty and acceptability to traders of their
respective localities.
One of the faults of the Southern
people has been their indisposition to
make local improvements, und to build
up their fortunes nt their respectire
homes. They make money, but they
loso it; they arc flush for u while, but
soon they are borrowing again.
The farm of the planter, and the city
of the merchant alike show improvidence
and their fortunes nre uot pcreuuino but
merely annual p'ants, and the seed in
perpetual danger of being lost. Well for
them, indeed that it hnpbeus not, that
like Jonah's gourd, these may spring up
some day and flout ish awhile, and then
din suddenly from lack of soil and excess
of heat upon it.
We must utuend this. Wc mml beget
a spirit of home improvtureut both iu
country and city, in the former by mak
ing our lands richer or developing and
refining their riches, and in the latter by
bringing into them railways and promot
ing manufactures within them.
Then may we put for our respective
uso ''palatial residences;" but palaces do
not b??t deserts or solitudes, and these
wc will make of our plantations and
towns if wc continue impervious to the
demands of improvement and enterprise.
Straw for Horses.?The value of
straw as feeding substance was never
beiter proved than by the following fact:
A firm having a large number of heavy
wagon horses, hud frequeut occasion for
the veterinary surgeon until they were
recommended to mix a certain portion
of fine cut straw with the clover hay.
This has been practiced now for some
years and their bill for doctoring is at a
minimum. The partner of the firm, who
told mc this, said how advantageous it
was not to bu deprived as they formerly
were of several horses?to say nothing
of ihe saving in expense and loss. Ti.e
fact is, the food was too rich or too
mucilaginous, for I have olteu been told
that fiue hay unmixed with bt raw-chaff,
balls iu the stomach, and thus is deprived
of art inn of tho gastric juic -s. Wc
know that too much succulent or rich
grasses are injurious uud no doubt straw
chaff mixed with it acts mechanically, if
not chemically, with advantage. It
would be well for our agricultural friouds
to know thut for peveral thousand horses
belonging to the London Gcueral Omni
bus Company, the food is nil passed
I through the cutter, with, I believe, a
certaiu propoition of straw. While
spring grazing our bullock stares, we
mix straw with it iu their early growth,
but as they advance to thoir flowering
uud podding, this is not required, because
there is much wheat aud oats grown
with this, which gets intermixed ou
passing through the ehaff-ttiachine.
