A wriUr ib Ibe CWleatea Ar<m, rlrfoing hi?na*H " JusOee/' la insisting thai the en'|-L" ? ?J decisions of Judge Oaa Jlgmcnru ? and other Circuit Judges sustaining the Homestead Lew. nr? nil wrong, and he pre dic!? that the Supreme Court of this State will declare it Inoperative, aa to debla dieting prior to its adoption. M the fundameutal law of lha State. It maj be poarl- I ble that the Snprome Court will declare the Houieelead Act unconstitutional, but : that will not make it so, or eonvinee nay- 1 body that does not wont to be convinced.? 1 Judges may find plausible grounda for an nulling almost any law a State pasaea on the score of impairing contracts^ if they take into consideration mere consequential considerations; but a general law, like the Homestead, to protect families from being turned oat paupers and beggars into the kighwajs and hedges, does not directly in terfere with anybody's contracts; leest of all, with contracts before the war and during the war, for they did not anticipate exing facta or contract upon them. "Justice," aa he signs himself, (one tidtd jttlice he seems to us,) may be gratified at a decision of the Supreme Court of the State in accordance with the home-expelling, uosheitering and Shermanielng policy of those who have less sympathy for the unfortunate debtor and the humane and rational aide of the law, than for its technicalities; who, unlike Judge Orr, have not the breadth of niind and heart to take into consideration facti ol the case, and the sound reasoning arising fr< ra those facta Whatever theoretical ricw may have been expressed by some of the Judges of tlie United States Court as to the Slates being all Ilie time und?r the strict rules of the Constitution of the c..1... .. i ,l.I i. rot* fact. Such was not the fact it th? time the present Constitution of South Carolina was framed, and "Justice" cannot, by truth, maintain that it was any Comti tution till vitalised hy Act of Congress according to the Reconstruction Laws under which we now live, and move and have our i being as a State. We were not recognised I as a Stale under the Constitution. The truth is, as intimated, Courts may give plausible reasons for setting aside any ' Act of the Legislature they please, if you ' will srgue that, hy some consequence, they 1 interfere with some body's contract?the line of argument that some resort to? ^ would annihilate all State legislation. But ( there are some laws and remedies for con . tract* that have been again and again set j aside hy State legislation, and scarcely any. , one has dared to question them; such, for ( instance, as the law of arrest and imprison { roent for debt. This was a more effectual < remedy, generally, than the right to sell 1 the family homestead of a thousand dollars t because all men, necessarily, had bodies to f he tortured whereby they could he com j pelhd lo assign everything they hod in < possession?or in futuro? money, debts ( lands in the State and out of the SlateMost men also had some relative or friends that might be forced to go their security, or ; help them in some way by this terrible remedy of arrest and imprisonment lawful ly possessed by every creditor, and especially by every judgment creditor before our New Constitution was adopted ; yet no one questions the constitutionality of the abrogation of this remedy, or libs to set aside this noble and enlightened provis'on of the ? Constitution adopted under the Reconstruction Laws of Congress. One reason ia, that it would shock the common sense of right in the heart of all men ; and '.he only reason that all men do not tee the same constitu tionahly in the thousand dollar Homstead Low, is, that it applies only to the debtor class having a homestead, which, although large, i? yet in a minority. The oV>scure faimer, or tenant of an humblo home it may he. of only fifty or one hundred dollar* value, may he adjudicated with his family into complete houseless pauperism. But nil men are interested in escnping arrest and imprisonment for debt, hence the dit ference in the constitutional argument.? The Georgia Supreme Court on one side of tie, and the North Carolina Supreme Court on the other side of us, and certainly one or more of the wisest and ablest of the whole number of our South Carolina Judges, have explicitly affirmed the valadity of the Homestead and Exemption Laws of tlte States made under the Reconstruction Constitutions. "Why should any sort of "jus lice " calculate that the two South Carolina Judges of the Supreme Court will hold differently* 7 Ilns the one sided M Justice'' lectured them on the subject? He seems very confident. The City by th? Be?." This is the titles of a new advertising pap?r( just published in Charleston. ' We hare received itie first number, and find it well printed full of advertisements of Charleston business men, and also containing tome choice reading matter, among other things a letter of ourlai? distinguished citisen, Gen. Waodt Thowvsow, on the character of Dakibi, Wesstbr, this we will lay before our readers. The paper is Edited by E. W. Millrr, a worthy gentlemen?it is not of any party character. It is published at the office of the ZJ?i? /y lirpubliean, and is intended for grataitous circulation. wr The Abbeville Press and Banner | have been amalgamated, Mr. W*. W. Parnow retiring. We wish him every success The times are too hard for small places to support more than ona newspaper. 1 ' -r 11 * '-! 1 a mil v.'it'tti-u. m * vi i?y J?d<* Orr*? Conetruottwa ?f the Ju?j It attempting to five the 1 eonslructloa which Judge Orr >>?? o? Ik* Im regain* ting the jury list, it Html si fhUsd la correct* Ijr stating his opiniom. The fcilswing la a clesr statement u wo are Mlhittlcill; in. formed : " If there are three hundred voters in a townahlp, one hundred all fifty colotad and one hundred and fifty white, and the leleotoaea agree to pat one nana for every tea voters in the jury box, that would he thirty names to go In the box. Now, if there are fifteen colored men who ere eoaapetent according to the lew of IMS, their names meat he putin, though there was not another colored man competent; and though there might bo one hundred, white men competent, only fifteen could be put In the box. If only tea colored seen Are competent, then they mast all he pat In, and the onianoc m mM* up by twenty whites." ThU la tmj intelligible, and if a correct rating of the law, aa mmy be presumed, the lew itself is certainly very unequal and unfair and violative ef the fundamental principles of the Bill of Eights, for it makes a distinction entirely im/arvr of tk? negroes in its practical Korking ; as, for instance, If there are one bun* dred and fifty negroes end one hundred and fifty white men voters in a township, and there are only fifteen negroes qualified jurymen and one hundred whites, then if thirty jurymen are to be placed on the list, all the qualified negroes gb on, and one sixth of the qualified whites. True, the same rule would apply if the proportion of while voters was one sixth of the qualified negroes, but this practically and in reality is not the case in South Carolina, and the law makers knew it. The whole law seems intended to be partial, and designed for mere party ends, and not for .the promotion of justice or fair dealing. We must insist that onr apprehension of the true construction of the law, if not right, at least It ought to be the law. We are perfectly willing to pot all persons on an equality before the law. According to the Act, as constructed, in a township of 100 white voters, all of whom might be qualified to serve on a jury, and two hundred negro voters only 20 of whom were qualified, the jury list would be always two-. third* negroes and one third white, although the whites should have all the times five times as many that ought to be on the jury list. The truth and right of the matter is that none but qualified tax payers ought to serve on juries, this has been always the law in South Carolina till these last times. ? -4 ?? How the Btatea will be Represented in Coi Kress after the Next Census. The calculations are already made that thc census of 1870 will materially change the representation in Congress. The six New England States will lose sixteen members. The five middle States?New York, Pennsylvania' New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland?will lose seventeen members. Thc Western States' including the New Pacifio States, will gain rixty-onc members; so that hereafter the West rill have a decided majority over the Middle and Eastern States. A fortunate thing this for the South, as the hoto and animosity and all uneharitableness towards us has its spring in New England. The Southern States will probably neither gain nor lose in Congressional representation ; owing to tbo_ increased itrength from the negro rote, tbe South will lereafter bold tbe balanee of power and by 'ombining with tbe Wost can always control !few England or rice rtrta. Wo should help hose only who are willing to do justice to the South, and from present appearances the Wcaj s likely to be tbe favorite with all the South- ! :ru States. Tbe Difference between Republicans and Radicals. We suppose President Orant and General Sherman, will be admitted to be respectable Republicans by tbo party. They disdain to interfere in State elections, between different wings of those professing to be conservative Republicans, and the proseriptive Radicals, like Bontwell and Cres?well and others. As proof, General Sherman has recently written to a friend in Texas authorising him to con. tradict all rcporU of hi; taking sides in tbe election eanvass now going on in Texas between Hamilton, conservative candidate for Governor and his Radical opponent. The Presidont, in a conversation with Hon. Alex. Rives and James G. Buxton, or Virginla, in regard to the election of United States Senators in that State, distinctly avowed that he felt it to be improper for him to express any choice at all between tbe candidates. Secretary of tbe treasnry Boutwell and Crerwell, Postmaster General, being of tbe ultra Radical stripe, busied themselves in the Inte Tennessee election in favor of Stokes and bis proseriptivc Radios) party, and there fame kind of Radica' republicans are still raid to be meddling ir State elections. It is consolatory to believe that the " Bitter enders," as Judge Dent, the brother-in-law e President Grant styles Bout well And his Rsdi col favorites, will grow smaller and smaller ii the United States, and be made to sing small by the growing power and influence of the better friends of the peace and prosperity ol the conntry, of whom Giant and 8herman arc chiefs. The better natnr> of the American people is coming to the rescue of the country, let us fervently hope. Whist it is wrong for the President and hii Cabinett to interfere in local elections, o eourse other persons, not occupying high offi cial positions, may properly be expected to d< so, and we take pleasure in recognising thi fact, that the South Carolina Ttrptllienn pub lished in Charleston, did favor the eleetion o S^iiipr IhA lihprAl Rpnnhll^ftn PAnftiHaU f/\ Oovernor in Tenne*aee, and likewise the (flee Hon of Walker, of the nine liberal fring of tha party in Virginia. i * ' .

All persons so disposed hare had their say at fanlt finding with onr City Fathers ; being of a (luarrclsotne disposition myself, I have been thinking for sometime i woald make mention of a something, that is no* end has been for sometime particularly obnoxious to the community generally. Fur some years, our people hare been barriered by certain vagrant beggars, who beset a< on the streets and at ourhraa-s, and insolently demand "a Hill* soaitblng to eat," and when the response is not up to their ex* pectations, insist on having more. A gentleman kindly sent these persons some meal, at their rcqufl and tbry refused to loare bis door unlets the amount was trebled. This is their systrm of begging, and for quietness' sake, the gentleman yielded to their demand. I do not wish to find fault particularly, (although it is a pleasure) but simply to ask the question as to whether or not we hare an ordinance (r? la hog) against such people. I believe there is a tax imposed for the maintainance of a poor house; if so, why are these people not taken up before some magistrate, to ascertain if they have any visible means of support, if not, have them assigned to such quarters as arc provided in e7ery well regulated community This kind of life is not confined to grown persona, but some I notice ars quite young and already weU drilled In their occupation of ly ing and begging.
