were appointed?one by tho
' ffctfftffffe, one by the Defendant,

These appraisers set off by
metes and bounds a homestead of
tbe estate of the debtor, with a fle

so personal property of the value
of five hundred dollars, and made
separate returns of the same, certifying

until dtiiy; 1868, when representation

#!? admitted. It is practical#
nc#ttcr fit little consequence,
wUetJier the State was legally in or
out of the Union by the act of saeoesion.
lite State certainly had
no constitutional rights recognized
nntil July, 1808 when sl>o was readmitted
irt coninmmation of- the
Reconstruction Acls. From 1865
to 13GS the State was not represented
in the Senate or House. If a
State, the right of representation
could not have been deuiod, and
yet the Courts of lite United States
have decided that th? Reonnntri?<t.
tion Acts of Congress wro constitutional.
Again, if within tfio
dates above, South Carolina had
been a Constitutional State, the
Civil would have been superior to.
the Military law of the United
States?the rebellion having ended,
and the supremacy of the authority
of the aflS:having been estiibnsned
lifter April, 1805?and
p<St, it is a notorious and conceded
fiicf, that no civil government existed
In the State fttter the passage
of thd Recdnsfrtiction Acts of
Mafcli, 18GY, that was hot subordinate
to tbe Military authority of
(bp United States. The Military
Commandant of this District, under
these Acta, was authorized to
abrogate ull civil government in
this and other States, and it is well
known that this authority was exercised
in 18G7 in Georgia, aud a
few months later, in Mississippi.
1 The Convention that 'was called
in this State to frame a new Conntlttrtlon
was called, not by the civil
authority of the State, but by
the Military Commandant of the
United States. A large majority
of the persons who were declared
entitled to vote for delegates to
this convention had never been recognized
aa citizens by the laws or
Constitution ot South Carolina as
they existed prior to, or during
tbc war, but were made citizens by
Act of Congress and enforced bv
military orders In the election of
delegates to the Constitutional
Cqm vent ion, They assembled in
Convention and adopted a Constitution
whicli* according to theprowieionaof
the Reconstruction Acts
of Congress, was a mere nullity, unless
Congress accepted t >e same af
ter its ratification by the people of
the State, including the new citizen.
1'he people of the State ratified
the Constitution by a majority very
decisive, and Congress accepted
it as presented, and thereupon admitted
the State to representation
in both flenses of Congress. If
the Upmestead provision had been
objectionable to Congress applying
to existing liens at the date of the
adoption of the Constitution, it
would doubtless have been excepted
to in the Act admitting the
State to representation as was
done by Congress with reference
to certain features in the Constitution
of Georgia.
The view now presented, that
tlio Homestead Act* as to Hour existing
at the date of tlio adoption
of the Constitution, violates that
clause of the Constitution of the
United States which prohibits an}'
State from passing " any law impairing
the obligation of contracts,"
would seem to l>? fully
met and answered by the foregoing
statement of tho history of the
enactment.
Ijlut, the objection mny.be answered
very satisfactorily by thiiy
view of the question : Suppose tho
Constitutional Convention m Charleston,
in January, 18G8, had refused
to recognize any lien whatever,
(whether mortgage or judgment,)
given or created, or any
property by or under the provisional,
rebel or auto war governments
that had. existed in South Caroli__j
,n ... J -u . A3 . ?i
u?, nmi (nr?mt)u h?i uuii'WD cremcu
by their Constitution to refuse to enforce
ench bene, could its power
have' been rjufcetioned, And if, so,
how and before what tribunal fcould
the Hens have been enforced?. Now,
if they oould have ignored all lione
by declining to provide for their
enforcement, what prevented the
(^invention from recognizing the
liens with such conditions as their
jndgment esteemed wise and prudent?
to wit: If a mortgage or
judgment obtainod nftder a former
^overmnent was recognized by a
voting population totally different
from the population that fii represented
in the forroergovormueht,
< the lien should be enforced
subject to the claim of the dsfortdhrit
lif fetccfttfon or Mortgage wi
homestead of the virtue of one
thousand dollars. Thrcsfi' yl^ws

2d. Tlni objectftm to tho talnfttion
of the personal property by
tlm appraisers . is oyorrul^tl. JNo
evidence baa been presented tlial
the personal property of the debtor,
Ware, has been estimated below
its value, or that any error or
fraud has been committed by the
appraisers. As to tho personal
property claimed by a third
party, it.is sufficient to say, that it
lias not been assigned to the debtor}
and if tlio plaintiffs deny the right
of iroperty in such third party,
thoy can levy their execution upon
tit? same, and test the right of
property and the banctJidtB of the
claimant.'
This Coort, therefore, declines
to order a re-valuation and re-assign
men t of the personal estute
made hy tho appraisers to the debt
or, tunonntwg to nve nunareu uoilars,
and set forth in tlieir return.
, 3- The objection taken to the
valuation of the homestead of the
debtor is sustained. Tlio affidavits
submitted by the l'luiotitis and Defendants
are conflicting as to the
market value of the homestead,
outbuildings and lands appurtenant.
One of the affiants fixing the
value at $7.r)0, and another at
?0000. 0liter affiant? estimate
various intermediate sums. The
weight of testimony shows that
the dwelling, outhouses and lands,
are worth more than one thousand
dollars.
The 32d Section of the IT Article
of the Constitution of this State,
describes with remarkable precision
what is intended to bo embraced
as the homestead for each
head of a family. It says: " Such
homestead, consisting of dwelling
house, outbuildings and lands,
appurtenant, not to exceed the value
of one thousand dollar*" &c,
" shall be exempt troin attachment,
levy or Bide," <fec.
The 1st Section of the Act, passed
9th September, 1868, entitled
" An Act to delermino nnd perpfctate
the Homestead," is not less explicit.
Where the real estate is
, levied on, being the homestead of
the debtor, the officer executing
the process, "shall cause a homestead,
such as such person may select,
not to exceed the value of one
thousand- dollars, to be set off,"
<fcc.; and in the same Section, in
giving directions to the:"? appraisers,
they shall " set off hv
metes and bounds a homestead of
the estate of tire debtor, &c., not
ro exeooa tno vame or one thou'
sand dollars,***Ac.
It is insisted in this cose, that, in
making the appraisement, uo estimate
should be made of the value
of the dwelling house and outbuildings,
and that the homestead moans
the lands appurtenant to the buildings
alone. If this interpretation
should bo adopted, land without a
dwelling could be assigned. And
yet it is not susceptible of a doubt
that the Constitution ana law was
intend to seoure to the family a
houie and shelter against all contingencies.
> It
is said again, that, it the
dwelling and outbuildings are not
excluded from tho estimate, that
a n unfortunate debtor whose
dwelling and outbuildings exceeded
one thousand dollars in value,
would be exoiuded from all bonefit
from the Act. It is conceded
that the legislation on this point is
dofeotlvo, and that some provision
should bo made where tho debtor's
dwelling ie worth more than one
thousand dollars, to retaiu tbr him
in. trust that sum when sold, to
purch&so a homestead ; but this
argument caritot be allowed to
Ovfcrthtow Rffrt defeat tlie plain
provisions df flic pohstitutiori arid
Act al&Kd v of|fo^e|!.
It may ne tna.t appf-alperfl tbonfd
ho authorized, on examining a
dwelling or ontbuildirigs, and Conpi
riling t!(iosame waa worth more
than one thousand dollars, that
theyjspuM h^ authorized t? appraiso
only and assign only a part
of the dwelling and outbuildings*
or even certain rooms, as a homestead.
- .4.9 :< >.4 9*d .tit- /J ?
In this ease, on? of tho appraisers,
in his aOidavit, states that, in
making his estimate of the homestead
of the debtor, he did not include
the dwelling and outbuilding*,
and that the thousand dollars*
worth of renl estate assigned to the
debtor " consisted of lands appnr
reruinc 10 uie notne?Tcna."
This statement of one of the appraisers
as to tlie basts ot the estimate
in making the appraisement,
ami the affidavits submitted as to
tho value ot the real estate assigned,
being in excc89 of the amount
allowed by law, requires me to order,
anu it is hereby ordercl, that
a re-appraisement and re assignment

Oil as a Remedy againtt Insect?.
Many years ago wo were interested
in some experiments made
by some medical studen s on tho
destruction of insect lite by oil.
The slightest drop of sweet oil put
on the back of a hornet, beetle,
bee, or similar thing, caused its
instant destruction. We wore told
the breathing jwres were closed by
the oil, and the lite was literally
smothered out. In after life greasy
water was always a favorite
mode with us of destroying insects,
. and wo have repeatedly urged it
ujion tlie readers of this Jonn at, vet
we are astonished to find how little
the hint has been acted on.
Almost every day we meet people
who ask how to destroy this insect
or that, and onr drawer is filled
with similar inquiries; and to all
the idea of grease or oil seems as
new a one as if we had kept the
matter a profound secret.
Of the millions of people in the
United States, how few are there
who would not "give anything,"
as they say, to know how to keep
away the cabbage fly from their
seed l>ed9; yet al>out a tablospoonful
of coal oil put in a common
garden water ing-pot of water,
sprinkled over the seed bed, when
the little jumping beetle is noticed
as having appeared, will instantly
destroy the whole brood.
A correspondent of this yo&rnal
recently gave us an article on tho
cirtnes of coal oit in killing scale
insects. We' have repented the i
exjivniiiviii. un eumc anpnncs "Willi
cutiro success.
In short, vrc have no donjbf that
coal oil, well diluted with water,
is death to all kinds of insects, and
there is no reason why it sliould
not be in as general use as tobacco
is for killing aphides?-inoro valuable,
in tact, because it can be applied
in so many cases where
smoke cannot.
One great pWifit in favor of coal
, oil is that it acts as a manure to
vegetation, while dealing out death
to insocts. We have seen cabbage
beds nearly destroyed by tho cat)
bagefly, have the whole crop of
beetles destroj*ed almost instanta*
nconslv; while in a few days afterwards
the plants, as by magic,
would cover the bed with luxuriant
leaves.
We do not bclievo that tho undiluted
oil would provo injurious
to the ieavos, but such extrava
pinco is unnecessary, as the email
quantity we have given is effectual.
No donbt the egg-plant fly, and
all insecte that can be reached by
. the oil, can bo destroyed.
There is scarcely ono of onr
readers to whom wt ore sure this
hint alone will not be worth many
annual sulwcriptions.
We may add that any oil is as
good as coal oil, but that being
likely to be more easily obtained
when wanted, is recommended ;
also care must be used to keep
| the water in the pot stirred
when tlsed, so that a portion of
|dq oil. gets out aa tlic water runa, e
otherwise the oil floating on thf A
ton. of t]io water will stay there
till nil the water goes out and on f
ly the oil be left for the last*- For c
this reason a syringe, in many t
cases, will l>o preferable to the wa- c
tor-pot, or the oil nnd water will t
have a better chance of gettirtfc *
