The New Constitution.

We hear that more objections are being
urged against the proposed new Consttu.
ton by those who are secretly wishing its
failure. They tell you that jurors will
have to attend court much oftener under
the new than under the old. 1t is true
we will have more courts, but it should be
remembered that with on increase ofcourts
comes decrease Of suits, aud other cases
in court, and as consequence wherejur.
orr and witnesses have to remain in town
six aod eight, and sometimes ten and
twelvedays uuderthe present Constitution,
they will be retained one or two days ouly
uude. the new. Which is the most pre-
ferable?
Another objection is raised against the
homestead clause. which, in our Judgment
is one Of the best provisions in the whole
instrument. They, the opposition, are
telling. you that the credit Of every man
will be jeoparded. This is not true. By
the homestead law mans credit is not
impaired 10 the least; it cannot be, for the
Constitution ofthe United States itself ex.
pressly prohibits any State cuac,iug laws
by which private obligations will become
impaired. The power toregulato the mat
ter is put 10 the hands Of the Legislature,
and that body is bound to regulate the law
BY which the debtor can waive the exemp-
ton; aud man who makes himself liable
for the payment Of debt, and refuses to
waive the Constitutional exemption, shows
himself unworthy Of credit, and the mer.
chant or business man can govern himself
accordingly.
THUS It will be seen that the frivolous
objections raised against the proposed Con-
stitu,iou are groundless 1t is plain to
every intelligent voter in the State that
chs new Constitution is much better than
the one now 10 force. tbs free from IN.
Just demands; it gives every county the
right to regulate its own domestic affairs
and, as has been shown will be less expen
sive than the old ore. -MoorefeM Cour

Hon. Reverdy Johnson and

gentlemen of the conservative
type who would not believe
that the Kuklux we're commits
ting such outrages as the news
papers reported, aud on the ar
rect of the members of the
band in South Carolina, they
volunteered to defend them.
The proof OF murders, whip
pings and house burning for
political purposes was SO plain
that they were compelled to
acknowledge the guilt of their
clients, and while making
strong arguments on technical
points to clear them, both
showed Ey their manner that
they had no heart for their bus
iness, and Mr.. johnson, in his
plea, expressed his uncontroll
able disgust at what he now &C
knOwledged as true, and his
highest flight--a burst of elo
quence that thrilled every one
within hearing--was a fearful
denuncialion of the barbarities
and crimes which had been
proven to have been done by
the Kuklux and an exculpation
of himself and his eminent col
league from any suspicion OF
sympathizing with orpalhating
such fendIsh cruelties.
