The Hombstead Law. In another column will be 'found the decision of the U. S. Supre'me Court upon the homestead law. It is quite *long, bit aA it involves a ques tion of great importance, to every'on'e, it will repay a careful perusal. 1h'e point in question, stripped of legal toehnicalities is .this : boes the homestead law protect a tnan fron debts incurred berore the passage ol the adt, or does it merely apply te debis conrotil since its passage 1 The constitution of tho Ijnited Stator expressly declares thmat no St1te i,,n pass k lhw Impairing the va~ldiy of contracts; an-1 the Supreme Court in this opinion has decided that the Homestead law as affecting old debtc is clearly unconstitutional and tilore fore void. The reasoning is plain. A y'or6n borrwe ifoney oil the faiti df certain property belonging to bini which is security for paymient. Them State has no right, afteI- this dalbt is contreated, tdi absolve the debtor from satisfying it. This is whait the legislature endeavored to do : and what some of our Cironit Judges an the Supreme Cour t of thoe State deoided could be done. Sti-ange to say, the Supreme Courts of all the Southeri States in which the point was brought up, agreed with outr Codrts. Them: decisions have all been roversed by the Supreme Court of the United States. M r. Justice Swaynej in delivering this opinion, gave a severe but descry Ed rebuke to the State Judiciary. The question had been fully settled in the minds of all leadin g J urist s, long be tore Justice Swayno deliver~jd his opin ion, and the Judge~e in deciding as they did, exhibited either an ignorance or contempt, of law sufficient to prove them unfit for the high pocsition they bocupy. As it now standse, the law ii this :that debts contraced since th. passage of the aot, and all future debtsj are subject to the homestead: while prior inottmbranees are good te the last dollam'; eroept the few cx. emptions always all6'#edc in tii S'tate, Not only this, but homesteads alreadj laid off will, under this' decision, be taken to sAtisfy old outstandin~ claims. This appears hard on the debtor9 b'at the other dooision wet hard on the creditor, and if any one suffers it must be the borrower, who has had th'e' use of the money lent. The Legisalaeure, at its last sessi'on, also amnended the homestead law in some fes~eots. Whern the dwelling house is worth more than a thousand dollars, the owmnr must pay over the excess to the cueditore, or else the house nsugt be sold, and of the pro. oeeds, a thossand dollara must be paid to thie O~lork of the court for t'e purohase of such a house as tihe debt. or shall designate.

Matches, 'here is no article In use in our domestic econoi'y 'more neocssary. and yet more daugeious. thin thie or dinary parlor mato i. Many'a ooifla gration, wuese origin is wrapped in mystery, is probably caused b' these apparently harmless articles. A box of matches and half a dozen rats, are sufficient to sot, a whole town on fire. The avidity with 'which.,rats seize iatohos ad oar6v i16' off is bot generAlly knowif. 'These animals are fond of 'phos'phorus, 'a s'nstanoo entering largely into the composition 'of matohes. Togratify their appetito they gnaw thM iat6bcir 'aU'dthlus~ig nito them. A gentleman in to'wn had occasion 'rcoortly to remove Pomp shelves in his store. Behind one of these ho found a faht's nest, in whit *tas'A *ban-lful of these dangerous articlessone part fy eaten.

Not lo'g after, lie diCo arlga that rats lad gnawed the boxe sufi-. ciently to open and etuipty them. Th Snatobes were scattered over the drawer. Why none had ignited, was a mystery. Many other instnuces of the same nature might be mentioned. Parlor matches have boen 'ound so dangerous, that they are never used in stores or hotels in the North and West. The old sulphur match has been brought again into use, as pas sessing many advantages over the more recent invention. They are not to liable to be'oarried off by'rats; they inake a smaller flame ; ahd by the suljphurous vapor arising, from thom during combustion they extinguish tLenselves, when in a close place. We should follow the elample of our yankee brethren, and receive the old "Lucifer" again into favor. But whatever kind of miatchos be used,they abould be handied with cate, and kept in metal or glass eases. Were those precautions observed, we would hear of fewer firs caused by accident or unknown incoendiauies. Powers of County Corn Eissioners, The citizens of York aoe all agog at the reocent aot of their County bCom inissioners in granting a subsidy of $100,000, to the Chester antI Lenoli it.11I. without submitting the matter to a vote of the people. The friends of the measure main tain that the Com-. missioners have this power, while those opposed, claim that every such ques tion should )e odoid~d by the tax. payers. The point is a nice one, involving the question whether of not fail. toads are embraced under the head of highways. If tha Commissioners have this right, it is a dangerous one for the taxpayers. tGivou the power to grant subsidies, they ard not fndted to any amnountg and ean just as easily rrmpose a debt of a milliota as of a hundred thousand dollars. The new artiole in our constituttoW declaros that the State debt shali be increased on?y ?'y a two-thirds vote. Arnd yet three man cant by a soratch of the pen saddle a debt of anp amount on a County. WVhat boots it to the taxpayer vfhether his money goes into the State or County Treasu ry?- In either case it comes out of bib pookdt. We trust that this ques Mion will be fully Argued in the Courts.- We wish the power of oait oficials In- thioto corrupt days to be clearly deflned. And if County Com-. missionejd haie such p5owet' as thie CommissIoners of York have exorcis ed in this matter, let it be taken from them at the next session of tlie Legislature. We have enough to pay now on stolen liond's and swin dling bills, withou6 being bled by County officer., In aid of every cor poration that wants money, and is willing liberally to divide the spoils.
