means to carry it on. The Legislature
has been censured for allowing man the
privilege of waving his right to the Dement'S
of this law. But without it, it would be
almost impossible to carry on the ordinary
business of life. A man could not sell any
thing at vendue on credit, for few could
give the necessary security. As it is, all
our fduciaries have to be men OF compare
tive wealth. We have with us large
number of tenant farmers, men worth
from one to two thousand dollars. These
are among our very best class OF citizens,
and, but for the homestead law, would
have credit equal to our wealthiest
nen. As it is, they cannot act as admin
istrators on estates, or as commissioners ior
the sale of land, or even fill any OF the
public offices where bond with surety is
required.
AS for the effort to uphold that unfor-
tunate class who were ruined by the war,
il cannot be done without doing injustice to
others who are as much to be pitied as
they, and must eventuate in great injury
to the body polite. If Senator Lewis
thinks he will gain any popularity by OBJ
tanning an amendment to the bankrupt law,
embodying the principles Of our homestead.
he will find that for one voter gained to the
Republican party he will drive two from it.
What the party needs is a rigid adherence
to the principles of truth and justice, on
which It is based, and a higher order OF
men to be its leaders. Men who are not
mere alventurcrp, with nothing to lose,
but who are known to be men of character,
with interests identified with the State. |

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT
Judges Bond and Underwood, preSidiRg.-
Ell. Nj. Williamson, indicted for selling
goods by sample without license, was re-
cognized in the sum of $500 for his appear
ance at the next term of the court. The
Indictment of Mr.. Williamson is founded
on the fact that he sells liquors by sample
for wholesale merchants Of New York,
Baltimore and other places. He has reg
ular place of business in Petersburg. The
question to be decided is whether he is SUBJ
ject to tax as a wholesale liquor dealer
under the internal revenue laws of the

under consideration.

Stone, administrator of Simon Stone, who
was internal revenue collector for the

for various offences, and three not true
bills.

return in two or three weeks. Judge

To he Editor oftne State Journal.
Perhaps there is no one measure of re-
construction which the leaders Of the Re-
publican party claim more credit for than
the provision in the State constitution pro-
yiding for what is commonly called the
Homestead law. And yet there was no
feature in the constitution more objection
able TO the Republicans of this county than
it, This continual interference by legisla-
ton between the debtor and creditor
classes of the community never did, and
never will, make state prosperous, or its
people happy. If men have personal
rights, which it is the duty of the state to
protect, and to provide a remedy for their
infraction, they also have right to be pro-
tected in the enjoyment of the property
they may have honestly acquired, and to
have o. remedy, by due process
Of law, for any injury sustained
by them at the hands Of others. Now, a
chose in action is property and differs in no
wise from property in a horse or COW ;
then why should the legislative department
deprive man Of the one any more than OF
the other? And, yet, this is practically
the result of every stay-law and home
stead law that has been passed since the
war. The creditor is wronged that the
debtor may be benefited. Does the State
gain anything by the operation? Certainly
not; for its tendency is to destroy the con
fidence of men in it, and in each other
And it is this confidence which is the basl.
of that credit whichis almost the only capi
tai that men Of small means can rely on t
enable them to carry on their business
This homestead law was passed ostensibll
to favor the recently enfranchised colore'
man. Its effecthas been to prevent his hav
ing the use of other mems capital, withou
which lie must remain amere laborer fo
years, and then be content to engage j
some business that requires but smal
