Relief to Debtors.

Tho Committee Of Courts of Justice OF
.ha Huse of Delegates have wisely
repor.ed against tho passage OF any
law "impairing the obligation Of con-
tracts" The State is prohibited from
passing any such law in the very words
employed by the Federal Constitution. But
the committee show as much wisdom as
they do Of fidelity to the organic laws OIL
the State and nation when they add that
to pass such law would be destructive
of our future prosperity" and "our credit
our integrity, and our honor" That Is the
true way to talk. ltsmacks of true loyalty
resolution, and manhood-the spirit 'ha'
makes people great, that preserves INC
public virtue, and that triumphs over adj
versity.
No law impairing contracts ought ever
to be passed to work either directly or BY
evasion-eithcr by stay laws or by scaling.
But differing entirely from the advocates Of
relief, who assume that the present times,
with unprecented force, demand the relief
they claim, we think that there is less
ground for such demand at this time
than at any that ever preceded it. The
great calamity which has deprived the
whole people of so much wealth, and has
visited every house with death, has not LETT
class peculiarly entitled to Government
relief save it be men who have lost Limbs
and the widows and orphans of the war.
Those least entitled to help are those who
have property and want to be relieved from
their debts. If they are to become the OBJ
jects of State interposition on account Of
their losses in the general wreck, then, by
all means, should the State take under its
immediate patronage and support all the
forlorn and wretched women and children
plunged into woe by civil strife, and all
the manned and disabled whose fates pro-
coed from the same cause.

interests Of stock-keepers than by call!
ing their attention to the importance of
this subject. All doubt Of the economy
of cooking by stealniog the food fed in
winter to all the domestic animals, is
removed by the many careful expert
meats that have been madeunder great
variety of circumstances, by the most
reliable men in the country. The i'm
provemcnt and reduction ofthe cost of
steam generators has. of late, been very
great. The danger from. their, use has
greatly retarded the more general intro
duction of arrangements for steaming
food for stock. sel4 a7sS
We have them now that are very econ
omical and safe, operate well, and are
SO simple that any farm hand can run
them. Farmers who propose to intro
dnce steam cooking apparatus for use
the coming winter, would do well to
have all the work executed before the
weather becomes cold, and SO arrange
all the apparatus so as to guard against

MEMORIAL PICNIC.
A Pleasant Time in James Park
The Beauty and Cbfvalry of the
Bluff Present. f HIlf

To-day, through the exertions of Mr..
Henry Noodle and other gentlemen who
fought for the Southern cause, there is in
progress at James Park very brilliant
picnic, the proceeds of which will be de-
voted to the noble work of removing the
remains of the Southern dead from the
battlefield of Gettysburg to cemeteries
in the South, where they can be better
taken care of and due honors paid them.
THE OCCASION
puts us in mind of the closing scenes of
the history of General Lees army, so
graphically described by j, Quitman
Moore. He says: There stood the
mournful remnants of that once glorious
army, that had dipped its conquering
banners in the crimson tide Of eight-and-
twenty sanguinary battles, and strewn its
heroic monuments to the gates Of its own
capital city; that gave Manassas to Beau
regard, and twined the fame of the Seven
Pines battle in the laurel wreath Of John
son; that had caused the waters of the She
nandoah eternally to murmur the name of
Stonewall Jackson, and, stretching out its
right arm to the distant West, had planted
victory on the dropping banners of Bragg;
that had witnessed four gigantic cam
