'"i "Aoio VI VIC Ctatc Mno are Ill uopV.
In Edgefold, whore Ex Gov. Pickens
advocated this measure in 1865, and
Gen. Butler usod language squirting
strongly to ropudiation,-in Andcr-
son, and indeed, in Ex-Gov. Orr's
whole Congressional District-this
act will conciliato popular favor, and
in sporadic cases, elsewhere. 1t is be-
cause it is Il swindlc that it was passed,
and because it is q swindle, that it
will be applaudcd by Bankrupt debt
ors. as general thing, everywhere.
We confess that debtors are more
oxcusablo for desiring exemption nos,
than under ordinary circumstances
The abolition Of slavery having ruin ID
them, the .temptotion is great not to
give up the remnant of their property
to their creditors. But would it'not
be better to do so, and commence life
again /? Is itnot true virtue TO sub
nit chcerfully 60 the loss of their pro-
pcrty as the consequence of the war,
and not try to shirk their obligations {!
We cannot see, why the Legislators
cannot give land that belongs, under
existing laws, to landholdcr<, to freed
mon, with as much justice, as give
land and money that belongs, under
existing laws, to creditors, to their
debtors. What u field for reflection
here ? If tho debtor can plead his
losses, tho freedman 'cah plead his
poverty and his labor having belong.
cd to his former master.
This measure aims u blow at tho
morals of our State, for which no ma.
tcrial advantage can compensate, and
will lead, if sustained, to other agra
rim schemes of spoils, bribery and
plumber. It's material advantage
will prove only temporary and dccep-
two. Men will soon wish to sell the
homestead, and there is clause in
every homestead act, which a lawyer
must be dull not to turn to the pur-
pose Of making good deed OF sale
the clause which renders the home
stead liable for the debt contracted, in
purchasing or in improving said home
stead. lnspito of apparently insur-
mountable dihcutics, tic lawyers Of
England, and we believe Of Europe,
have managed to make good title to
u purchaser of land. American law
yors arc ust rs keen.
| Again, the loss every poor man will
meet with in the matter of not get
ting ready credit, will make him
curse this 4nw before it has existed Il
couple of years. 1t is only fools that
power 0'Eaajta and It Is to poor man
just starting in life, and who is will
ing to pledge all and risk all that
needs it most. Credit judiciously
used is the greatest blessing that so.
ciety conters upon an honest man
This measure has tendency to ham
per it, but no tendency whatever to
mkac men more careful in the use OF
the credit that sharp wits will always
manage to obtain, but on the contra
will make them moro reckless.
The subject is byno means exhaust
cd-indocd, we have just got under
way-noyertheless, we here conclude
The Great Campaign Papers The Cheap
fest and the ?Best.
