PROPERTY EXEMPTIONS.

One of the duties which the Legislature
owes to the poor people Of the State is to
pass more comprehensive and liberal
homestead and property exemption law.
The Revised Statutes and the Code OF
Practice contain the general features OF
such law as is wanted, but if the pro-
visions Of articles six hundred and forty
four, five and six of the Code Of Practice
are not made more comprehensive, the
writ of execution will still continue to be
an engine of oppression. As at present,
the law probably goes too far in some
respects, while in other regards it falls
short Of securing just what is needed to pro-
tect all classes Of society. This, however,
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-02-10

may result from the different situations
of the parties to be interested, the ez-
emption of two thousand dollars worth
of property in the country being, doubt
less, designed to protect the farmers.
Probably it is necessary to secure -
farmers one hundred and sixty acres Of
land, as this has come to be considered
the customary homestead exemption; but
under the constitution, and i'll States
where smaller divisions of the land are
provided for. perhaps sixty acres would
come nearer the mark. 1t should not
become a settled idea of our domestic
arrangements that every man must have
one hundred and sixty acres OF land, for
that is more soil than any one man can
have use for, and the State is bound to
consult the interests of the largest mum
Der rather than the fewest.
But wherein the Revised Statutes and
the Code are both defective is in regard to
town property. There is no exemption
Of houses and lots in the cities OF the
State. but the law confines itself to the
country, and is specific only as to one hun
dred and sixty acres, with certain neces-
sary adjuncts thereto. We desire to have
homestead and q property exemption law
tina. Will be adapted TO New Orleans.
Such, for instance, as the security o! q
| house and lot Of a given value, or goods
and chattles to the same amount. Posi-
bly, it might be wise to limit the amount
Of property SO exempted to two thousand
dollars, if it is i'll the shape of "a house and
lot ; or one thousand dollars II i: is in
TIE shape cf persona, property. The
reason why We make this difference is
that the owner OF real estate to the eX-
tent OF two thousand dollars would prob
ably pay his debts in the course Of time.
or be might add other value to his prop
erty, 50 as to subject It ultimately to TIE
payment OF his liabilities, while the owner
Of one thousand dollars in personal estate
is never considered so stationary Or re-
sponsihle.
One Of the main objects Of these ex-
empton laws. is TO discourage the credit
system. and another is to proter. the in
dustrious citizen from ever being entirely
Frustrated by any Sudden reverse OF for
tune. The public can always guard itself
from being injured by refusing to extend
credit, in cases where the pay is doubtful.
If men are honest. the community can
seldom suffer; but sometimes they are W.
fortunate, and then they should be pro-
tected from being thrown entirely upon
the mercy Of tie world. With enough
left to rally ,.ion. the chances are always
liz favor If :seir making lax settlements
with their creditors.
The main feature. therefore. &! any
amendment 10 the Code should he to
tix the extent and valve Of the homes tead
and persona! property exemption in
the city. And the easiest way 70 90 this.
is 70 amend tie articles a.: the Code.

believed that this city can be made as
healthy as any in the world, providing its
swamp lands can be reclaimed and'it can
be kept clean and dry by means Of some
system of drainage that will be effective.
Nothing has tended more to keep back
the growth Of this city than the epidemics
that have visited it's people from time to
time with such fearful effect. Il is notice
able fact that whenever this city is visited
by one Of these scourges It takes 1t years
to recover from It's effects. Many OF the
people die, others are driven away, and a
large number who were intending to come
here to live are deferred from doing so.
This is the chief reason why New Orleans
has not kept pace with other cities whose
history dates back with hers, and whose
locations and natural commercial advan-
tages are really no better, and IL some IN
stances not as good as she enjoys. And,
for this same reason, other clHes have
sprung up within our own recollection
that have had to contend with similar dis
