rights. Hence the exemption laws deprive
the poor man of credit, without which,
though he has talents, youth, health and
strength, he is comparatively powerlesS, for
his credit is his capital, or the only means
he has of securing the use of bis capital
that is indispensably necessary to the sue
cess Of his undertaking. But we cannot
expect the capitalist to furnish Us capital
upon promise or contract which the law
will not enforce against him. No rate of
interest can tempt him to do so.
This, humbly conceive, is the reason
why so much capital is idle and unemployed
in our country, and this is the reason why
even the young, active, talented men of our
State are comparatively powerless, and, in
our humble judgment, there can be no rem
edy for this condition of affairs, that is
weighing 50 heavily upon US as a people,
but to remove the cause. Capital will never
develop the resources ofour State ifallowed
to remain inactive, and skill and labor can
not do it without the aid of capital. The
one must aid the other, and if we will but
reunite these which have been so long di-
vorced from each other in our State, then
we can take up our march with firm step,
upon the road 10 prosperity, wealth and
greatness.
Then let our Legislature give this subject
their attention, for it is one of great i'm
portance, and demands a careful considera-
ton at their hands. Let them repeal our
laws exempting property from judicial pro-
cess, or at least greatly reduce the amount
exempt, so that the obligation of contracts
may be held sacred and properly enforced
among all classes, and hold every one re-
sponsible to the law, without regard to
whether he be rich or poor. This will re-
store credit to the poor man, and unite
capital with skill and labor, and give new
and powerful incentive to energy and in
dustry.
The welfare of society, and prosperity and
wealth Of every country, must necessarily
depend in great degree upon proper en-
forcement of the obligation of contracts be-
tween man and man, and the people will
prosper most under that government which
holds every one responsible to the law, and
provides the best means of enforcing all the
rights of the citizens against his felloW-men
without regard to the condition of either,
thereby protecting every one in all his
rights, and only requiring from each mem
Der of society that responsibility for his own
acts which is necessary for the protection of
others. G. R. S.

SEATS PATENT FENCE.

Among the useful and valuable inventions
which were patented during the past year,
we know of no one which bids fair to
become more seryiceable to the great bulk of
mankind than Seats Patent Fence. 1t is
not only durable, but neat, tasty, cheap and
easily constructed. 1t dispenses with posts,
with nails and with the digging of holes.
It stands erect, cannot be overturned by
winds or drifted away by floods. Its ap-
pearance is attractive; it consumes but lit
tie space, and the invention can be applied
to a rail, plank or paling fence.
In order to give our readers some idea of
It we state that the uprights used in con-
structing the
PLANK FENCES,
and which answer in the place OF
posts, are made of two strips Of
plank, TIVE and a half inches wide
and one inch thick, parallel and sepa-
rated from each other by short strips which
regulate the distance of the planks com
posing the fence from one another. These
strips when fastened together by two bolts
costing little over a cent apiece, with the
separating blocks between, are sci
bolt upright upon rocks wherever
in the usual construction Of fences
a post is required, and are fastened

"WHAT DO WE NEED.''

10 the EQlUOIS OF LQe Union anu AlueTlCdu
SPRINGFIELD, Tenn, Feb. 8, 1871
read with interest the article in your issue
of yesterday, headed "What do we need"
and fully concur in the opinion, that capt
tai is not all we need-and believe with you
that we have capital in abundance in Ten
nessee-and l believe that the greatest
clog upon our progress and prosperity as a
people, is want of confidence, energy and
industry. Not only is there an abundance
of capital lying in thesvaults of our banks,
! in the shape of United States bonds, that
| in no way tends to aid in developing the
resources of our State, but iron safes are to-
| day boarding up an abundance of idle capt.
/ tai, in the shape of coin and currency, that
| is perfectly dead, SO far as contributing any
aid to skill and labor, or in any way advanc-
| ing the material prosperity Of the country
is concerned. Why is this?
There are, perhaps, many causes, but we
| think the cause which has tended more
than any Other to produce this state of
| things is want of confidence, not only in
public measures or affairs of government,
but want of confidence in each other as in
! dividuals.
| A large proportion of this idle capital is in
| the hands Of the older class of our citizens,
men who have passed the meridian of life,
and are now too old, or have no inclination
| to engage in the enterprise and active bust
ness Of the day. But the question presents
itself, Why do not the young, active bust
ness men of our country secure the use of
this capital and combine it with active, per-
severing, enterprising industry in develop
! ing and coming into wealth the almost I'M
| bounded resources of our State?
! The main reason l think is this: these
/ young men are without means and can con-
| tribute nothing to any enterprise, except
! brain and muscle, and they can make no
| contract with the capitalist for the use of
| his capital which the laws of our State will
! enforce against them. Our laws exempt in
/ the hands Of heads Of families, in the ag-
/ gregate, near five thousand dollars worth of
! property from all judicial process for the
| collection of debts, or the enforcement of
| contracts or obligations, and the natural eff
feet of this is to destroy all confidence in
contracts Of every kind.
These exemption laws we are satisfied
cover the entire estate of four-fifths, if not
a larger portion of our citizens, thus put
ting it in the power, and in fact holding GU
inducements to, this large proportion Of our
citizens to refuse to pay theirjust debts, or
perform their deliberate contracts or most
sacred obligations, thereby making this
large class of our population wholely indie
pendent of the law so far as compelling
them to pay their just debts, fulfill their
contracts, or perform any of their duties as
members of society is concerned. 1t is but
natural for men to refuse to enter into con-
tracts with parties against whom they can
have no legal remedy to enforce their

Guard Your Health and Life.

How inconsistent is human nature. Men carry
revolvers to protect themselves against rufians
in well polished cities, where; the precautiOn is
unnecessary, often neglect to fortify their sys-
TENS against disease il. the most unhealthy sea-
sons. Thousands Of dyspeptics and other inyalids
are now languishing in sick rooms, or feebly and
listlessly moving through our streets, who owe
their forlorn condition solely to a want Of com
mon prudence. Far more inimical than the
roughs and rowdies, against whose possible at
tacks the timid arm themselves, are the morbid
elements that pervade the atmosphere at this
time Of the year, and yet although it is an unde-
MED and undeniable fact that Hostettez's Stom-
ach Bitters afford a more perfect protection
against these causes of disease, than any weapon
of offence can afford against lawless violence, the
reckless and inconsiderate continue to brave the
danger with positive safeguard within their
reach.
Every day, however, the number Of these mar
tyrs to their own want OF forecast diminishes.
Each succeeding season demonstrates more clear
ly the inestimable value OF the Bitters, both as
an antidote for the causes of disease, and a spe-
ciie for its consequences The miasma which
generates periodic disorders, rheumatism, liver
complaint, irregularity Of the bowels and other
physical disturbances, PRODUCES no effec what
ever upon systems toned, strengthened and regu-
lated by this powerful vegetable medicine, and
dyspepsia, nervous debility, constipation, inter
mittent and remittent fevers. biliousness, and in
fact nearly all the maladies which the Bitters, If
taken in time, would prevent, are cured BY the
persevering use of the great remedy.
The genuine Bitters sold in bottles only, and
never by the barrel, key or gallon, as is repre-
sented by some unprincipled dealers.
