and other Circuit Judges sustaining the

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.

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.

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.

Vagrants.
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

to patronise home markets, and we
are eatjeded that goods can be purchased here

here composed entirely of old experienced
Southern men, who know bow to select goods
to suit Southern trade. They can furnish
goods as cheap here as at the North from several
reasons. For example i The rents paid

In tb* South where Liver eusftslat and tb
bilious diseases prevail to so great aa extent, W
there ha* lung been ftlt a need of a medicine ai
that would act peci/kally mmd promptly on lb ol
Licer, restoring It to its normal functions, and
at the seme time be sate frvm after effects, and
vet so simple that it might he nsedhy any one.

LIVER PILLS supplies this want. They act jE
directly on the Liver; their constant as* will |,
not injure in the slightest degree the most delicate
constitution. Females at any period
may use them with great benefit, ana realise
groat relict from the distressing nansca which
they experience at certain time*. These pills q
are not recommended as a m/niwI cure mil,
but simply for diseased Liver, and these maladies
which follow a derangement of that important
organ, such as Dyspepsia, Sick Heads
ache, Indigestion, Less of Appetite, Costlvsncss.
Piles, Jaundice, Sour Stomach, Ladies
Heartburn, Chills and Fever, Foul Breath,
