quotation actual by indirect means. It
would be far better to repeal all such laws
at once, and let the debtors go down, and
then let all the people, knowing where they
were, take new start in business
Mr.. FOSTER opposed the bill. Its title
should be amended to read "a bill suspend
ing the Code of Civil Procedure in cases
where creditors are allowed to collect their
just Dues" He supposed it would pass the
House. He was upon record as having
moved to lay on the table, and that was all
he expected to accomplish El&
Mr. HoDNETT said the bill did not pro-
pose to give relief to the great body of our
people. He had always been opposed to the
policy of stay laws, he had regarded the stay
law as finality. and the people were pre-
pairing to settle under it; but the decision
of the Supreme Court came down upon them
like thunderbolt, and now judgments are
being obtained upon them with distressing
| rapidity. If this goes on the land OF the
| State will 90 under the sheriffs hammer, and
no poor man, white or colored, can buy be
cause they have not the cash, but it will 60
| into the hands of spectators, and farmers
will have to pay greatly advanced price
for it.
Mr.. RENFRow opposed the bill upon every
principle of justice to the creditor, and OF
policy for the whole State, as well as consti-
nationality. 9.SD
Mr.. MAYO said we must make laws accor-
ding to truth and justice, bound by our oath
to support the Constitution. He was will
ing to give some relief and would vote fol
the bill, though he knew unworthy men
would shield themselves by it. aa
Mr.. STEVENS asked if this bill applied to
debts over 5000 only, or to all debts
Mr. Bowman replied that these rules ap-
piled to proceedings in the Superior Courts
Justices of the Peace have Jurisdiction undel
5000. The committee had reported a bill
which would apply about the same princi
pie of law to the collection Of small debts
which we propose to apply to the collector
of debts above 5000. - .-

vate their homesteads. The reliet was only

yate their homesteads. The reliet was only
temporary to enable poor debtors to raise
crop by which to pay their debts.
q Mr.. JUSTICE, of Rutherford, said self-ln-
terest was manifest in this argument. Find
a man who seeks to speculate upon the dis
trcss of the people, or aman representing
constituency free from debt, and he deciaims
against the bill. He opposed stay laws
generally as principle, but the people,
without regard TO party, unless with
a few exceptions among the wealthy,
demand relief, and we should protect
them from spectators andShylocks. Not
only the poor man, but the taxpayer
demands it. Representing the interests OF
his people, not party, he hoped the bill
would pass in its strongest shape. Money
brokers say, we want to have things go
on and the people compelled to pay 30 per
cent. interest"
Mr.. SEYMOUR said he was neither debtor
nor creditor, but by-stander, looking at
the right and wrong of this question. No
matter what the clamor of the people might
he, the question was whether the bill was
right Believing the bill to be wrong, that
debtors should pay their debts, he should
oppose it. True, we are not responsible for
the original stay laws. They. change the
plcadings in our courts, but do not affect the
| United States courts, and the. result was,
creditors living in Philadelphia or New
York could sue debtors in the Federal court
In this State, when our own citizens could
not touch their claims. This made dis
! tinction in favor of the citizens of other
States and against our own. 1t had been
said the retrospective feature of our home
stead exemption was unconstitutional, and
hence the necessity of this bill to give pro-
| lection. If it were unconstitutional, it could
not be carried to the Supreme Court and
decided before our next meeting, and there
fore haste was unnecessary.
Mr.. ESTES moved to adjourn, and yielded
for the introduction of several small bills,
which will be noticed when considered.
