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

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

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

Not only this, but homesteads alreadj

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.

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

bot generAlly knowif. 'These animals
are fond of 'phos'phorus, 'a s'nstanoo

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
