Ancient ? Modern Wisdom.
"Setae, seize the helm, the reeling vessel
.guide, . * .<: * ,
With aiding patriots, alem the ragiDg tide."
When the public disorders at Athens
growing out of the oppression of the
poor by the rich, had become so great
as to threaten sedition, the oracle of
Apollo was delivered to Solon in the
language which heads this article. We
ara told that " so greatly were the poor
indebted to the 'rich that they were
obliged to pay them a sixth part of the
produce of the land, or else to engage
their persons to their creditors, who
might seise them on failure of payment.
Accordingly some made slaves of them
and others sold them to foreigners ?
Nay, some parents were forced to sell
their own children.* We are also told
that some oitiaens who were seizable by
their creditors aftd had fled their country,
wandered so long in other lands,
that 44 they had forgot the 4 Attic dialect,*
" their mother tongue. It was at
that lime that, in accordance with an
Athenian custom, billets of wood were
fixed up at nearly every man's door, to
shew that bis home and lands were
mortgaged. As a remedy for these
evils, itnd to save the State from anarchy
and bloodshed, Solon, in obedi"
ence to the oracle of Apollo, placed himself
at the bead of affairs, and introduced
reforms in the laws and in the administration
of tbe Government, wbich
gave him the name of law-giver, and
entitled him, in the opinion of his con
temporaries, to rank among 44 tbe seven
wise men " of Greece. Tbe first of his
public acts was, that all debts should be
.. . forgiven. He is the author of the ex<pression
44 discbarge," wbich is now a
technical word in the law. The cancelling
of debts was called by bim a discharge,
as a debtor is now said to get a
diaefutrge under our insolvept or bankrupt
laws. He caused tbe billets wbich
had been set up as a mark of mortgage
tanas 10 ue removed ; he liberated those
who were held in bondage at home on
account of their debts, ana recalled those
who were wanderers in foreign countries
from the same cause. By these
acts he gave great offence to creditors
at first, but afterwards the people became
sensible of the utility and necessity
of his decrees, as a cure/or the disorders
of the Stale ; offered a public sacrifice
to the gods, which they called
" the sacrifice of the discharged,'1 and
wjlb one accord constituted him u lawgiver
and- superintendent of the com-monwealth,"
making " all magistracies,
assemblies, courts of judicature and the
Senate,* subordinate to his authority
and power.
Fortunate Athenians 1 that the court
of Areopagut did not like our Court of
s Errors has don# with our laws, interfere
to prevent the laws of Solon fjrom being
carried into effect. Thrice bappv. be
? cause, if the latter had then existed
. with its present wisdom in full vigor, it
would have thwarted the great law-giver,
If Constitutions bad not been in
the way -prohibiting the enact moot of
. Isws " impairing the obligations of eon
trifclsthat court would have disintor'
red the precedents of a allII more re
urnte age, or discovered lo ancient writera
cn ethic* a sufficient reason to aet
aside , hie laws. The. * morality " and
" sanctity" of contracts, the duty of every
person to pay his debts, whether he
is able or \>ot. would bare been vindi
cated. It*may be, a* some faaare supposed,
that Solon derived "hie idea of
"n discbarge," of absolving dehtorafiorn
the, payment of their debts, from the
Jewish polity. ' " The trumpet of the
J obi ice," when it sounded every fiftieth
year, proclaimed "liberty throughout'
all the hind." It announced that on
that year " every man should return uo.

that hismanafNK / ittfcCijj^VfM&en from t

his possessions, which remorseless ered-'
itors bad wrested from him, were re- t
stored to him, and that he and bis fam- t
ily could again worship theft God
around their ancient altars, and firesides. (
This law of Moses exhibits him in strik- 1
ing contrast with the ideas of Jewish ?
character which we bave derived from I
the Shylock of Shales pea re; but all bis- 1
tory, as well to our own experience,
proves that alt Jews are not Shylocks,
and that many Christians are. Both
have forgotten the statutes of tbe great
leader of Israel,departed from tbe with,
and no longer been tbe sound of " the
trumpet of tbe jubilee." This wonder^
ful institution was adapted to the eircurastances
and situation of the people
for whom it. was appointed. It was
intended to prevent tbe rich and powerful
from opposing tbe poor ; to relieve
them from tne perpetual slavery of debt;
to attach tbe people to their lands and
inheritances ; and to cultivate in their
hearts a love of home and country.?
Was this institution of Moses, or the
laws of Solon which followed it, or'were
derived from it. unwise, immoral, or
dishonest f What aay our morality
loving, constitutional abiding legisia*
tors! What saith the Court of Errors ?
Perhaps I am impertinent ,in my inquiries
as to their opinions in relation
to laws in which they are not versed,
laws which were promulgated in the
thunders of Sinai. - - - <
Moses and Solon adapted their laws
to the necessities of their people, to the
exigency of the times. Wbo is worthy
the name of law giver that does not re
gard the condition and wants of those
tor whom his laws are made f In this
consists the utility of all laws, and here*
in lies the wisdom of law-givers and
statesmen. Take things as they are,
and upon this foundation build your
system of government and laws, is the
language of true statesmanship. Who
does less is a fool, more, a charlatan.?

now yawn before them as a bottomless fc

latur.e of which has held power in the r
State since October, 18C5, was elected v
before any question had been raised on ii
this subject, before the Stay Law bad r
been pronounced unconstitutional by e
the court of Errors, and before the peo- e
pie had any ground to suspect that such
would be thedecision. This law bad been o
so long on the Statute Book, and had o
received such high sanctions, that they I
trusted to it as their shield of defence, c
and resting under it, let power pass into p

Many who have acted tbejr part during

all measures of substantial relief. Tbe ji

for Purchase of 81&vesJudge
Gates, of Louisiana, bas decided
that in contracts of sale there are
nutual obligations?that of the seller
0 deliver and warrant the things sold
ind its poaceable possession ; that cf the
iuyer to accept the delivery and pay
he price?and that the logical sequence
if the action of the State in emancipate
ng slavea must be, that when the right
f property in that which had heretoore
been treated as such by the laws
1 destroyed, the laws to regulate the
ight of parlies to that property, and to
uforce payment of obligations given for
L, must follow the fate of the property
iself, and all contracts based upon those
sws be annulled.
Judge Gates holds that the tenure by
rhich this species of property was held
ras different from that by which all
ther property is held. It was not baad,
he says, on natural law ; and the
igbl of liberty was a pre-existing right
ubich belonged to the person held as a
lave, however much public policy and
be supposed interest of the country may
sve prevented the enforcement of (hat
ight by the person claiming it. But

Atervened to recognize and enforce that
ight, it cannot be said that the proprly
was destroyed by any fortuitous

Government cannot say that a tract
f land, which is properly by the laws

t can appropriate it for public use by
ompensating the owner, but it still
ossenes the quality of property. But

The French Government recognized
his principle, when in 1789 it abolishd
the feudal rights without indemnity,

The Future.
The Newnan (Gn.) Herald, speaking
in reference to the emigration of the
negro to the rioher cotton-growing region*
of the lower ralley, and .the /act
that the old Southern State* mart begin
to direNtfy their industrial energiea,
saja with mncb good sense:
But if we partially abandon thecultiration
of cotton, we wiH, of necessity,
be forced to adopt other mean* of money
making. Nothing truer and nothing
easier. We are favored with a climate
and soil adapted to the growth of the
apple and peach. The former are now
selling in our market for two dollars
and a half or three dollars per bushel,
while dried peaches are worth, in the
New York market, from thirty to thirtyH?a
iStii he* ".1 rt* ' ?I". .
dollars per bushel. These facts shorifll
i convince every one, having the smallest
knowledge of arithmetic, that a large
i orchard will pay belter than a " cotton
i patch,n
Again, we have water power eufflcient
r to turn wheels enough to manufacture
i goods for world's consumption. Why
is it that the citizens of Middle Georgia
; cannot buy the cotton delivered at their
' doors and convert it into shirting and
1 calicoes, and sell them as cheap as the
, Northerner, who pays the freight on the
, raw material over a thousand miles of
i railway, and then the freight on the
manufactured goods over the same lines ?
i We know not. The Southern man
has everything in his favor. Will we
, avail ourselves of the advantages which
the God of nature baB given us ? If we
do, a bright future awaits us?if we do
not, its darkness no man can foretell.
IIkavt Siiocs for Ladies.?Win
ter is coming, and we desire to say a
few words to our lady readers about
clothing the feet. "
When the celebrated physician, Ahernathy,
died, report said that, beside a
will of some interest to his heirs in a
pecuniary point of view, there was
found among his other effects a sealed
envelope, said to contain the secret of
bis great success in the healing art, and
also a rule of living, the following of
which would insure longevity.
A large price was paid for the sealed
envelope. It was found to contain only,
these words: " To insure continued
health and ripe old age, keep the head
cool, the system open, and the feet
warm."
Dry feet are warm feei, generally, if
the system is healthy. To keep the
system healthy the circulation must be
good. The circulation is not good with
out exercise, and exercise can only be
really valuable when walking. Hiding
in a carriage is no exercise at all r it is
merely inbailing the air. This is very
well as far as it goes, but the lungs are
never in full play without the individual
is walking. Horseback exercise is very
good, and is an improvement on carriage
riding, but it is not the kind of
health creating play of (be muscles nature
demands. It is action?action of
the entire body?and walking will only
procure it.
Now, the ladies of Europe, particularly
those of England, understand this
thing. They walk miles per day, and
if any of our pale beauties desire to
know how the English ladies keep up
their fine color, clear complexion, superb
busts, we tell them it is by out door
exercise, walking in the open air, filling
the lungs with pure oxygen by rapid
movement on a sharoOctober day, when
the sun shines brightly and the clear,
blue sky above. This is the secret of
the rich blood of the English women,
and their almost universally fine looks
and matronly beauty, at fifty, when at
that age American women are pale, sal
low and wrinkled.
To enjoy a walk, thick soles are need

off" a pretty foot, and improve a homely
one. To guard lhat sensitive portion
of the human frame, (for the sole of the
foot is keenly sensitive to the changes
from beat to cold, or dryness to dampness,)
the boot sole should be thick, and
as well made as human ingenuity can do
it. Then even in moist weather, or in a
rain storm, the foot can be protected ;
lhat insured, all is well with the body.
A New Pkemium Okape.?The Ohio
Farmer thus alludes to the " Walter w
grape, exhibited by Ferris <k Cay wood, '
nurserymen. PouchkeeDsie. N. Y_ who
Mated that it was a seedling of the Delaware,
fertilized (artificially) with the
pollen of the Diana; it has now fruited
tour seasons, the vine is very hardy, vig
oroua and healthy, less subject to mil- i
dew, and leaf-blight, than any other ex
cept Concord, and as little as that variety
; the fruit, in color and size, and <
form of berry and bunch, is a medium i
between the Delaware and Diana; flavor
sweet and rich, with fine aroma, but
the berry has a tough skin and consid
arable pulp?the only drawback from
ita excellence. It ripens as early as the
Delaware, bears carriage much better,
and dries into raisins instead of nothing.

two, awarded this grape the first pierai

North Carolina.?The
Sentinel says the measures of popular !
relief passed by the North Carolina
Legislature base proved Ineffectual, or
inadequate, and that the members met
in conference on Friday last, to devise
some additional expedient. The Sentinel
adds:
"From all parts of the State, we
learn that, under the stay law of the
convention, creditors are putting their
claims in suit. In some Counties, there
are from 000 to 1,000 writs returnable
to the next terms. Wherever there is
the remotest prospect of mnk
lag good a debt, creditors are suing?
The consequence is, general uneasiness
and alarm prevails among the debtor
class." " *
The Wilmington Despatch says :
A few nights ago, our informant goes
on to state, the Sheriff of Pitt County
was riding near the town of Greenville,
having in his possession a number of
papers returnable to the spring term of
the court, when he was seized by a mob
of persons in disguise, and in strong
force, and stripped of all documents
of the nature described. The party
then repaired to the clerk's office, in
Greenville, and destroy ed all similar papers
found there, after which they quietly
dispersed.
They were so disguised as to preclude
any possibility of detection, and, as yet,
no clue has been found to implicate any
of the offenders.
We regret to chronicle such lawless
ness, but think this is but the natural
result of the ruin which has been
wrought by the war, and are apprehensive
that puch disgraceful proceedings
will spread in other quarters.
DISFRANCHISEMENT IX TENN E88EK. ?
The New York Times, of the I9?h,
takes from a cotemporary the following
fact, which it says illustrates the opera*
tion of the dl-franchising principle in
Tennessee. It would not bo difficult,
we believe, to find hundred* of similar
anomalies under the woiking of tbo
system in force in that State :
" A firm in Nashville, one of the
largest and most respectable mercantile
bouses in the West, paying annually
many thousand dollars of taxes, has, including
clerks, six pers-nns employed in
the coucern besides tha porter, who is
a negro. The latter is now the only
one of the whole concern w ho is allowed
a vote under the present Broanlow
Constitution. The point of the j<>ke is,
that the negro was the bitterest
rebel of all, and was an officer's
servant in the late rebel army, and
when fighting by his master's side, he
was the third man over the ramparts of
Fort Pillow, where he fell like an avenging
thunderbolt upon the negroes?who
so gallantly surrendered that stronghold."
Two organizations have been formed
in New York for the relief of the destitute
in the South. The Times i?supporting
the movement with its whole
influence, and if it sticks at it long
enough, it will doubtless effect much.
In one of its editorials on the subject is
found the following language :
The Southern papers reproduced the
vengeful utterances of malignant and
stony hearted men and newspapers of
the extreme Anti Southern party, and
these were accepted as evidences of the
spirit that dominated the hearts of the
Northern people. It must not be put
to the discredit of the South that human
feeling still exists there, and that
the character of the once proud race,
now defeated and wrecked, has yet in
it a touch of the old pride. Naked
and hungry, they have battled for years
with the giant power of the North, and
has stillered and bled until titer fell
with exhaustion. To continue to suffer
and perish seemed at last to bo tbeir
doom, And as in war they had borne it
uncomplainingly, so in peace they endured
it with hardly a murmur.
FkomTkxas.?The "Lone Star*'Stale
mu?t be a healthy place in which to do
lamily marketing. Head the fjllowing
:
The McKinney Inquirer gives the following
prices current :
Corn is worth at this place, 75 cents
per bushel; wheat $1; flour 4 cents;
old bacon 10 to 12^ cents ; lard 12^
cents; pork, oorn fed, 0 cents; mast, 4
to 44 cents ; butter 15 cents ; eggs 10
cents. All in specie. Gold 140.
Speaking of eatables in San Antotio,
the fame paper says t
We saw scores of fine fat chickens
selling in our city lately at three dollars
a dozen, and turkeys at nine dollars
a doaen. Venison hams rate at
six dollars a dozen ; sweot potatoes at
seventy five cents to one dollar per
bushel; pork four and five dollars a
hundred, and beaf, of splendid quality,
at five cents a pound.
The Houston Journal tells the truth
when it says:
The counties which raise the most
corn ths coming season will be the counties
which will attract the most immigrants,
and, in the sod. will be thubeat
counties in Texas. This it will be well
enough for our people to remember.

whom their execution devolved, as by
authority of Lloly Writ and the best

What Woman Can Do.?If she will

cards at work in humble homes; buy
home manufactures in preference to
those from abroad ; content berself in
being neat and not gaudy; drop all
such gitucracks as artificial waterfalls,

that now fill Northern coders with
the best part of their stock in trade, the
South can produce a financial convulsion,
out of which, peace will come.
Since the surrender of Lee's army,
probably, two hundred millions of dollars,

Mm.kino.?Let our farmers remember,

nor drive them fast.? liural World.
