EXEMPTION LAWS.
From the jackson ClsriOn.I

From the Jackson Clarion.
The plscipg of a portion of ones estate
above the vicissitudes of fortune Ond ssHl
inc il from the creditors grasp, originates
ia a principle of justice and humanity
which is incorporated in the Jurlspru-
dence of every stst5 IN the Union. No
matter how large the exemption, If due
notice be given to the world, II cannot be
said that the policy encourages dlshon-
estv or enables the debtors 10 withhold
from the creditor (whO Is presumed 70
know the law his dues.
II is not our purpose at present TO dis
cuss the present exemption laws. Their
enactment was doubtless participated IN
bF come OF the very men who are now
foremost ia deaOuncing them, and who
would have never discovered their de-
fects if new idol had not been sci up toT
the worship of demagogues.
Our object is TO notify the people thar
the existing laws will be repealed and 70
sdmonish persons who are enjoying the
impending danger. Many OF our best
people who were rich in former days, are
DOOR indeed now by ths action OF the GON-
ernmsnt in stripping them OF their prop
srtV. The property itself was destroyed
but the debts which were created on the
faith OF il. were not wiped out. over them
are hanging iudSnsDts which will cover
auy property that may Be left exposed by
q reduction of the exemption laws, and
which if executed will leave them To pen
Rry and want-thus breaking mp and de-
stroying the repose and protection here
tOfoFe given by law. 1t Is yet within the
power OF these people TO guard
against this threatened invasion ol
right which they are enjoying under
existing laws. Under these laws, and be-
fore their repeal, it is their right 10 sell
and convey in part or in whole the pres
ent exempt real or personal estate, and
thus avoid the expressions and hardships
which will inevitably follow their repeal.
They can even give away any exempt
PROPERTY by present laws. But whatever
action Is taken must be taken before they
are repealed. There is no time to be lost
by persons who are liable 10 come under
the operation OF this Vandal scheme OF
the Radicals to deprive them OF their
homes and even Of the wreck OF the es-
iates which remained to them after the
war

arise on the special order the day,
/ being the overture to sescind the
action of the last General Assem-

reported that the overture asking the re-

misconception of the action Of the last

action of the last Assembly so soon was
| discourteous, and recommended declina

A lengthy discussion followed, anc
finally the report OF the Committee was
adopted by two-thirds vote. A motion
/ was passed to hold 3 secret interlocutory

SOUTH AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
EarthquaSes-An Unhappy Woman Prayer
for Rain.

NEW York, MAY 26.-The steamer Alas
ka. from Aspinwal this afternoon, brings
Intelligence that the danger of a serious
rupture between Peru and Bolivia had
disappeared. In the present fiourishing
condition of Peru and the advancing state
of Bolivia, a war would be Of the utmost
prejudice TO both.
Later advices from South America have
been received. The work of survey on
the Dsrien canal progresses twelve miles
inland from Bay San Bias, but further
progress is impeded by heavy rains.
Advices Of March Path state that the
unfortunate city of Mendoza has again
been visited by a most terrific earthquake
which destroyed all buildings over one
story nigh. The loss Of life is said to be
large. This city, in 1861, was visited by
an earthquake, during which ll,OOO lives
were lost.
Advices to April lst are received from
MontevideO. The celebrated Mrs. Lynch,
companion of Lopez, is on board the
steamer AlmirantO with her four sons, as
prisoners. She would probably be sent
20 Europe.
The mother of Lopez, with her two
daughters, whose husbands tell in battle,
are living at the house of Castillo, in a
villa near Assumption. great deal OF
espionage is said TO be rife in Assumption,
and suspected adherents to the late Pres
ident Lopez have hard time.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The Commercial
Advertiser Of to-day says the express
manifest dissatisfaction in regard to the
news furnished by the Associated Press
reports from the front for evening papers
is iustifiable. II Is very evident that the
right men are not at the heed Of the AssO-
Jciation. Its management is not charac-
tsrized by that activity that should be
associated with the press and telegraph.
We had not one word from the Associated
Press reporter at st. Albans, in regard tc
the movements Of Fenians, for our even
ing edition, while the American Press
Association furnished TO the Mail and
Democrat particulars of the skirmish al
ST. Armand. We had TO rely entirely up
on our special reporter. Such imbecility
cannot well be overlooked, and it is time
that some changes were made in The
management Of the Associated Press. Il
is time q live man had il in charge.
