THE fact is not little significant that
the first number of the new illustrated free
trade journal, printed in New York, and
called the "Tax-Payer," is almost entirely
filled with advertisements of English firms
in Sheffield, Liverpool and London, or their
agents in New York city. The interest
which these heavy English capitalists feel in
the welfare, happiness and prosperity of
the American workingmen, is truly touch
ing. That they should take such lively
interest in this new pictorial, is not little
surprising, and that their interest should
be 80 profasely displayed in its first num-

We ARE sorry that our neighbor of
theC Dispatch has been so unfortunately
educated in the political school of his State
and the Federal government, as to regard
the existence of the former entirely blotted
out, and the latter transformed into an
overshadowing despotism of the worst pos
sible sort. We hope that this blear-eyed
illusion of his will not last-will not be-
come hopelessly chronic. For we can as
sure him that it is delusion, mockery,
hallucnation--a sheer piece of deception,
like the .ftaa Aorgana looming up from
the DETECTED state of the atmosphere in
which his mental vision is cast. We are
even sorry that he forgets that "Virginia
was ouce a sovereign State,o for we have
faint remembrance Of the fact ourself,
and, what is more, it does not give us the
political nightmare, nor throw us into any
"disgruntled" state Of feeling, such as
some of our more hopeless contemporaries
are wont to exhibit. IF emigration from
one State to another has ceased because
there is no such thing as State lines or
governments, we are sorry for it, and will
go to work in due time with our 'tone-
and-indivisible" friend of the Dispatch to
restore the good old Commonwealth of
Virginia to her proper and normal status in
the Union. Ii we mistake not, Virginia
has her constitution, or fundamental law
for the government of State, as
well as her constituted government
under 1T; and the fact that she
has delegated to the Federal government
some of her sovereign powers, does not
leave her destitute of sovereignty in respect
to others. We shall come to a discussion
of this question in due time, when there is
a prospect of righting the great wrong done
to the sovereignty of Virginia by perpetual
ing what was only justiiable as a war
measure-the partitioning of her territory
into two sovereignties instead of one, or
her after the fashion of the
once allied powers Of Europe. H.

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION,

Senator Lewis, of this State, is now
pressing upon the consideration Of Congress
a bill, introduced by him more than a year
ago, to so amend the act of Congress es-
tablishing uniform system of bankruptcy
throughout the United States, as practical
ly to exempt the homestead, in this
State, according to the provisions of the
new constitution. He proposes to so amend
the act that its operations shall embrace
the new and not the old homestead exemp-
ton. The matter is one of very great i'm
portance to our people, and we hope that
our worthy Senator will urgently press the
consideration ofhis amendment upon the bo-
dy Of which he is member, and that it will
receive the warm support of our represent
tatlves, without distinction Of party, in
the House. The bill is now before the
Judiciary Committee Of the Senate, with a
prospect of its being called up at an early
day. There is no reason why it should not
pass in the formin which it is presented. It's
only object is to make the national bank
rupt law applicable alike to our constitu-
ton, in the particular of homesteads, as to
the constitutions of the other States of the
Union. AS the law now stands, it relates
to the old constitution, and only secures to
the assigning debtor the amount of exemp-
ton allowed by that instrument.
The object sought to be attained by
Senator Lewis is most important one, and
will be received with universal favor by the
people of the State. So far as the action of
Congress is concerned, it is simply meas
ure ofjustice to the State, involving no princ-
pie which has not already received the full
sanction Of that body.
