But, eastern winds prevailing,
The mercury. travels down again,
With showing and with hailing.
The curious thermometer
Confuses me altogether
But one thing certainly well know,
Whether the mercury's high or low,
Whether the sun Is shining or no.

Whether the March winds howl and blow,

The North Carolina Stay and Exemp.
ttOn Laws.
The Supreme Court of North Carolina has re-
Gently rendered decision of much import
ance to those of our merchants who carry on
a Southern trade. On the breaking out of
the Rebellion, with a few honorable excep-
tions, all the business men at the South re-
pudiated their Northern debts; and when the
war was over and they were again obliged to
resume their responsibilities, they pleaded
extreme poverty, and the necessity of allow
ing trade to revive and the country to re-
cover from the dsvastations caused by the
ther delay. In order to afford relief, the re-
constructed Legislature passed law stay
ing execution for debt, and one exempt
ing fifteen hundred dollars worth of
property from levy and sale on execution.
The practical effect of these laws was to shut
out the Northern creditors altogether, and
they in reality confirmed the repudiators in
their determination not to pay the money
owing to loyal men under any circumstances.
Southern debtors were not slow to take ad-
vantage of these laws, but those who had been
defrauded by the Rebels of 1861 thought that
they should have some hold upon them now
that the laws of the United States are in force
in all parts of the late Confederacy. The con-
stituHonality Of both the stay and execution
laws was accordingly disputed, and test case
being brought before the Supreme Court of
North Carolina, decision was rendered as
above stated, declaring the stay law uncen-
stitutional, but affirming the exemption law.
In the great majority Of instances this de-
cision will leave matters just where they were
before, and win practically prevent the bust
ness men of the North from collecting their
debts in North Carolina, either now or any
future time, SO long as the law remains on the
statute book. The value Of all kinds of pro-
perty in North Carolina is SO much deprecated
that all except very wealthy men, the owners
of large estates, are relieved from the respon-
sibility Of paying their debts. 1t
was hoped by our business men
that both the stay and exemption laws would
be declared unconstitutional, and until the
rights of creditors, as well as the convenience
of debtors, receives some consideration at the
hands of the lawn sking power, it is useless
to expect that business will revive or that the
South will be able to build up her fallen for
tunes. II may be very convenient for Southern
men not to pay their debts at this time, but
they will in the long run be the chief sufferers
| by the repudiation policy.

Davis, the Anti. quer,Ila.

In tne House at Harrisburg, yesterday, the
committee appointed to inquire into the expe-
dienoy OF having "Bates' History Of the Penn
sylvania Regiments" printed for the benefit Of
the members Of the Legislature, made a re-
port, advocating the printing OF ten thousand
copies of that work; whereupon Mr. Elisha w.
Davis, the anti-guerilla man, scenting an
opportunity fer making a still greater hole in
the public treasury than is absolutely neces-
ssry, even If Mr.. Bates Is to have his little Job
done at the expense Of the people, stated that
estimates of the cost OF the work had been
submitted to publishing firms in this
oity, and that it had in this manner
been asoertained that 'the State printer
uoutd do the entire work within
thirty cents as cheap as any publishing
house." The report of the proceedings does
not give us any further insight into Mr..
Davis remarks in advocacy of the claim of
the State printer, but what we have is quite
sufficient, although it ia exceedingly indef nite.
If 1t means that the State printer will charge
only thirty cents per volume more than Phi
ladelphis publishers, as Mr.. Bates has con-
trived to grind out three healthy volumes,
the total extra cost will amount to the trifiing
sum of $4,000. 1t may be, however, that Mr..
Davis intended to say that the extra thirty
cents applied to the entire work, which would
reduce the total to $4,000. But it matters
little whether the extra cost be $4,000
or $9O0O the principle advocated
by Mr.. Davis is the same, and the one which
he almost invariably upholds when he stands
upon his feet in the House. If, by plumber
ing the people of a few Thousand dollars, q
hanger-on can be benefited financially, it is
all right What makes the claim of Mr.. Davis
still more outrageous is the fact that the
specimens of Typography coming from the
State Printer which have reached our hands in
the past are gotten up in such slipshod fashion
that they would ruin the reputation of any
publishing house in this or any other city
where that reputation was dependent upon
taste, skill, aud business enterprise, instead
of fat legislative piokings.
