We learn from = speech Of Senate
Stubbs reported in the Register. that th
parties who borrowed some forty odt
thousand dollars Of the School Fnni
from Eads, with which to erect the Stat,
House building at Dess Moines, are hope
lessly insolvent, and the mortgages giver
are near about worthless. The parties
propose by way of compromise to deed
the State House to the State in considera-
alton of release from further liability fol-
the School Fund debt
The Capitol and ground connected
with it, proposed to be conveyed to the
State, ia represented to be worth from
$50, 900 to $4,000, and if the case is as
bad as represented, it strikes us that the
best thing the State can do is to take
the property; for We have. noticed thai
bankrupt debtors seldom improve in their
offers of terms of settlement, but rather
90 from bad to worse. The first offer OF
compromise by broken merchant is al
most invariably the best.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.

We feel considerable disappointment in
view Of the recent action of The Senate in
amending the Homestead Law.
The object and the policy Of exempting
the homestead from execution for debt is,
as we understand it, to protect a man s
family IN their home. Now, whethe.. the
policy is right or wrong in itself, it is but
sheer justice that it should be secured BY
the law. or else the policy itself should be
abandoned. And our Legislators should
face the music fairly, and say that the
policy is wrong, and that no man q family
ought to be protected in their right to a
home against the creditors of the head ol
the family, or else protec. every mans
family in such rights.
We submit that this is q fair and
honest statement of tho case, both as to
the object of the law and the fairness Of
carrying out the policy.
But it happens that the presen. Leeis.
lature in their wisdom, being opposed L
the policy Of the law, or instiga,sd by pc
euliar cases Of abuse of the provisions o.
the statute, propose to substitute insteai
OF home, a two thousand dollar exemp
ton clause. We urge upon the Hous,
either to stand BY the policy of sxemp,
ing the hsuc of every family in the Stat
} from execution, or else repeal the law al
together. ~

The school laws of Iowa divide the
public schools into districts and sub-dis-
tricts. The annual election Of sub-districts
is made on the first Monday of March.
Some years since Keokuk city was divided
into ub-districts and before the revision
Of the law, held its election on that day.
BY the amended law, the school organi-
zations continued tho same as they were
before the passage Of the act. Under the
apprehension that the date of election
remained as before, confirmed by the
opinion of others. and not having . copy
of the "revised and amended law" uu-
willingly made last Monday the day for
the annual meeting. l am since in re-
ceipt of circuRf issued BY the Secretary
of the Board of Education for the State,
which more clearly defines the meaning
of the laE, and shows the Keokuk sub
division Of the public school district oi
Jackson township to be separate and
independent district, and that in confor.
nifty with the amended ldx, the annual
meeting and election should bs held on
the second Monday Of March.

fine steamers have commenced running.
and the first of the season, the Davenport.
arrived at our port on Monday. They
will hereafter make tri-weekIy trips be-
tween st. Louis and Davenport. and as
the river opens will keep going further
up until they reach st. Paul, and will,
then ply regularly between st. Louis and
that point until the water on the uppe,
rapids gets too low to admit their passage
The boats which compose this line ar,
among the dnest on the Upper Mississip
pi, and are commanded by gentlemanly
accommodating and experienced officers
These boats will leave Keokuk. going up
every Moray. Thursday and Saturda,
mornings. Our friend, Mr.. A. Brown
is the agens, and for freight or psssas,
apply to him at his Office on the Levee..
The river is falling slowly from Da
venport to this point but is still in roo.

I of the policy which secured their homes 4
every family ia Iowa from the hammer o
the sheriff. And We regret to-day to Sc,
our friends taking the track, ignor
ing this fundamental principle and policy
and making huckstering distinctions in
favor Of foreign creditors. and against oui
own citizens, BY prescribing limitation,
to the sancity Of this home. Or rather
by declaring IN absolute equality in the
value Of homes exempted, and reducing
every family to the Procrustes bed, pre-.
pared by the Legislature, instead Of the
one furnished by their own industry and
frugality.
The Legislature, BY iuitiDg the value
Of the home exempt, undertake to pre-
scribe home of the same proportions for
family of two and family of dozen.
Aud, moreover, the Legislature undertake
to legislate away the right to home, for
a large portion of the families residing in
the towns and cities Of the State, and on
farms in their vicinity, now and hereaf-
ter. Many man has bought an humble
home, and by his own industry and the
taste Of his wife and children il has been
improved and adorned and has come to
be regarded as the life long home of the
family, to which lie members are ali at
tached. In the meantime. town property
and the property in the vicinity has ad-
vanced in value; the sheriff comes. or the
head Of the family dies, and the creditors
come. and appraise the premises atsa5Do,
and at once the family are turned out,
bouseless aud homeless. to seek else where
. home which they cannot fnd in their
native place.
The amendment Of the homestead law
is wrong and illiberal in It's policy and its
effects, and discreditable alike to the hu-
manity and generosity Of the State. 1t
is unnecessary and uncaled for as far as
the future is concerned, and We UNDER
stand it does not contemplate taking effect
against homesteads already secured,
though of that, we are not certain. The
present law encourages people to secure
pleasant homes and to regard them as
permanen, homes, and thereby the best
interests OF the people and Of the State
are promoted. Repeal the law and you
take away this stimulus and encourage
ment by depriving the people of the GER
tainty of retaining their homes.
Not particle of good will be accom-
plished by the change in the law, for
those who abuse it now will find other
modes of evadiug the claims of their
creditors, less benz fetal to their families
and to the interests of the State. Wei
trust that no popular plausibilities win
be allowed to prevail on the Legislature
to engage in a course of hucKstering leg
islation which will eventually lead to the
utter subversion of the homestead policy,
which has been quietly aequiesced in and
had become, as many thought, the settled
policy of the State. 1t is not two thou
sand dollars that the people want exempt,
else the single man, as well as the mar
ried, should have the benefit of the law.
1t is simply the home of the family, the
house that they live in and the ground
necessarily appurtenant that they require
without respect to its value.
