ton Of the Constitution 18th day of July,
1869 was null and void, using the following
language: 1.-The single question which we
have to determine is whether this provision
of the State Constitution, and of the act of
1870. which is but a copy of this article, is
in violation of TINT provision of the Consti-
tuition Of the United States which declares
that $40 State shall pass any law impairing
the obligation Of contracts ~; and deciding
that State had not such power.
1t did not seem to me that this decision Of
Il Virginia court could control a United
States court in passing upon the congress
sional law of June S, 1872, which adopted
our State exemptions as part Of the eXemp-
lions to be administered by our bankrupt
courts. When, therefore, was constantly
applied to by citizens OF our part of the State
to know what exemptions would be allowed
in bankruptcy, l uniformly included in my
enumeration of them the homestead eX-
emption OF $1,000. And these inquiries be-
ing continued, adopted the method, in re-
ply to letter from you, to put down this
opinion in writing for publication, in reply
| to you dated the 18th day of July, 1872.
Yet you know how this opinion of mine
was falsfied by the decision of the United
States District Court for the western district
Of Virginia rendered in August, 1872, to the
effect that the Virginia Court OF Appeals had
pronounced, and thereby rendered, null and
void the homestead provision of the State
Constitution as to debts existing prior to
July G, 1869; and that, however plain the
| intention of Congress might be to grant the
| homestead as against such debts, its language
| used in the amendatory bankrupt act of
March s, 1872, was not sufficient, under
the decision of the Virginia Court Of Ap-
peals, to accomplish that purpose.
rsThus it came to pass that many citizens of
| Southwest Virginia and other parts of the
State, who had gone into bankruptcy on the
faith of my published opinion, found that
they were deprived of the principal eSemp-
ton IN expectation Of which they had sur
rendered their property.
Thus, also, it came to pass, most sadly, that
those citizens of Virginia WHO owed old
| debts contracted during and prior to the
war, whose property had been swept from
them by the civil revolution, and whose
claims to relief were infinitely more
lcred than those of citizens who had con-
trlcted recent debts, were denied relief; aud
relief WIS given only to those who had COM
pa: a.iyey no equity on their side. say the
n4onstrous result was reached that the de-
serving class OF debtors were denied relief,
and the non.deserving afforded it in lavish
! excess.

THE LARGEST KIND or 4 JOB.

II may be the hight of good breeding never
to be astOnished at anything. In these days
of projects for ship canals through Blue Ridge
tunnels and slack-water navigation over all
sorts of elevations, no scheme of the canal
kind emanating from Washington would as
tOnish us. But for an Out-and-Out transparent
piece of jobbery we think Albany may come
in for a claim to preemnence on bill twice
referred to the Committee on Canals, reported
favOrably and now before the Committee of
the Whole in the Assembly.
For more than two years the inventive
genius of the whole country has been exercised
on the problem of canal navigation in this
State. We have at intervals presented to our
readers descriptions of the more prominent of
these inventions, and extended accounts of
their practical working The Commission that
has in charge the assignment Of a large money
reward for that one of these inventions which
shall best meet the requirements, has as yet
been unable to decide favOrably on the merits
of any. 1t is by no means certain that
the obstacles to perfect success are not
insuperable. A measurable improvement has
however been obtained under what is known
as lIO DtISldu b1HltlllJ III WHICH, d lblt ullNpU
by stationary engines and moving above the
canal, gives tOwage to boats by merely at
taching a clamp. OF the innumerable con-
trivances which have been proposed for trac-
tiOn by means of the sides and bottom of the
canal, we have not room for even mere
enumeration the great majority of the in
ventiOns which place the steam -engine in the
canal boat, propose the use Of the sides or
bottom of the canal as fulcrum. Their mod
els rest on the shelves of the Patent Office
all except one that is in our State Capitol.
Our Legislators at Albany seem to have ie.
nored all this previous research and experi-
ment. One would think that nothing but
horses had ever been tried for propulsion ON
the Erie Canal. Certainly our Assemblymen
could not have heard of any other when they
jumped at the old invention of "crawlerr
on the canal bottom. and under the misnomer
to encourage a system of traction towaee
"upOn the canals of this State" proposed TO
cut off all further encouragement by giving a
monopoly of traction towage to the prOprietors
of one of these ancient c0ntrivances. The
bill undertakes in 30 many words, to give to
certain men, for tho term of twenty -one
years, the exclusive right TO propel boats or
Aaata eR all the canals Of this State with a

"traction wheel known as the Edward backus
"method, rolling on the bottom OF the canal
We hope it may be sufficient to call atten-
ton to this job TO prevent its proceeding tuf-
ther. Much as we admire enterprise, we
would rather hear that the promoters OF TINS
piece of jobbery were rolling on the bottom OF
the canal by the Backus or any other methoo'
than that the whole State was paying tribute
to their monopoly. The measure is an insult
TO the Commissioners who have the navl-
cation of the canals under consideration. III
proposes an outrage upon the inventors VINO
have expended in many instances their for
tunes as well as their time in endeaVors to
solve the problem of steam on canals. NO
monopoly yet granted by this State, or the
United States, would so thoroughly deprive

The conclusions reached in the Senate Com
mittee, which has just made report on the
Louisiana election case, have been fully
anticipated. This report is partial, touching
only the question of the legality OF the
returns for Presidential Electors all matters
relating to the State Government, Legislature,
and L. S. Senators are temporarily deferred.
The gist of the document is in the discovery
by the Committee that the official returns of
the State were never examined and counted
for Presidential Electors by any Board or by
any person having any authority whatever to
make such an examination and count. Again,
the Committee is positive that the returns
sent to Gov. Warmoth show on their face
the election of the Greeley Electors but that
fact has not been ascertained by competent
authority. Furthermore, the sO-caled certifi-
Gates of certain persons that they had been
deprived of the right to vote are declared to
be no basis whatever for returns; these are
stricken out of the calculations Of the Kellogg
Board as worthless and illegal. The upshOt
of the case is that the Committee thinks that
neither tie Senate, nor the House, nor both III
Convention, have power to canvass the returns
of a State election. We do not see that Louis
lana can have any voice in the Electoral Col

4 ROYAL DISC UST.

A rumOr came, yesterday morning, from
Madrid TO London, of character so startling
and improbable that Reuters Agency thought
it necessary to mention that it had passed the
censorship at Madrid and might, therefore, be
presumed to have some foundation. 1t stated
that the King of Spain manifested disposition
to abdicate the Crown. AS there was no ade-
duate motive for such a course, the first i'm
pulse of most of those who read the dispatch
was of unbelief. AS a general thing kings do
not resign until they must Thrones are to
princes desirable situations, and even certain
amount of danger and difficulty is not an un-
pleasant change from the endless monOtOny Of
life passed on the steps of throne, with
all the tedium and none of the glory of the
crown. Amadeus had already proved
himself a man of unusual pluck and determi-
nation. He had faced assassins without
flinching, and had repeatedly declared that
he proposed at all hazards to accomplish his
mission in Spain. SO that although Spain is
Of all countries in Europe the one where i'm
probabilities are most matter of course, this
news was hard to believe. But it was rapidly
confirmed by subsequent dispatches, and the
scene last night in the COrtes leaves no doubt
of the gravity of the crisis. The Government
appeared utterly panic-stricken and bewil-
dered. The President of the Council, while
admitting the intention of abdicatiOn, begged
the Congress to adjourn and await the official
action of the King But EstanislaO Figueras,
the Republican parliamentary leader, refused
to accept the suggestion, and instantly de-
manded that the session be made permanent.
This motion, which was openly revolutionary,
was instantly carried, and at last advices the
Congress was still in session 1t is as
sumed that the two Houses of the COrtes, if
the King persists in his intention, will come
together in one Chamber as a Constituent
Assembly and remain so until a new King is
chosen or the form of government definitely
settled. All parties seem to hope that the
crisis may be confronted and passed without
disorder. This is, however, by no means GER
tain. In the meager dispatches already re-
ceived we see the beginning of the fight of in
trigue and possible violence which will follow
Immediately after the abdication. We are told
of one conference between Martos, Becerra,
and Echegaray, the leading civilian members
of the present Ministry, and Seiior Rivero, the
President of the Cortes and head of the Dem
Ocrauc party Whio ao Vhc o"nAo "iOuiO"' a"
anxious consultation was taking place between
Gen. Cordova, the Minister of War, and the
principal officers of the army in Madrid. The
Conservatives are also displaying great activ-
ity. Meantime the Carlists continue their de-
sultory campaign in the North, and scattered
bands have appeared 80 unpleasantly near to
Madrid as the hills of Toledo.
The pretext given for the action of the King
is the promotion of Gen. Hidalgo by the Min
istry against the protest of the artillery Off
GERS. Amadeus sympathized with the protest
ing officers, and the Ministry, instead Of yield
ing TO him. took the sense Of the COrtes aud

4 COSTLY BIT or RETRENCHMENT

COSTLY BIZ OF KEIHLAtHMENI'
Congress claims to have saved about a mil
lion and three-quarters by the abolition of the
franking privilege. In an excess of generous
and virtuous enthusiasm over this piece OF re-
trenchment, it now proposes to spend about a
million a year on itself as a reward of merit.
This grotesque piece of fnesse does not
have even the doubtful virtue of COM
pounding for sins one has a mind
to by damning those one 3 not in
clined to. 1t is revenging ones self for
bit of enforced abstinence by taking huge
slice of the forbidden thing. The House bill
for the increase of salaries gives the Presi-
dent, Judges, and Cabinet Ministers a mod
crate addition to their compensation, the Presi-
dents pay being the only one which is made
much larger than it is now. But the great
body of Congressman are to get $4,000 year
additional this will make the aggregate cost
to the Government ,S972,OO0 greater than it is
at this time. To be sure, we are in
formed that the Congressman are to
have no more mileage, stationery, or
other deceptive perquisites by which a stock
of fancy goods may be absorbed under the
item of "sealing-wax and penknives." The
average mileage is $500 per member; the sta
tionery and newspaper item is $3.50 per year /;
and to compensate for this severe economy
the members are to add $1,000 per annum to
their salaries
The dishonest part of this latest scheme Is
not so much in the proposition to increase
salaries as in the direct bribe offered to about
one hundred outgoing members of Congress-
These gentlemen have drawn their mileage;
they have received their newspapers, sta
tionery, toilet soap, and knick-knacks. Why
should they have an addition of $4,000 year
to their pay7 Yet the House bill proposes to
pay them that amount beginning with March
d. 1871 They are to be bribed, III
other words, TO vote for the passage
of this petty piece OF jObbery. Each out
going Congressman is to receive $4,000 to in
duce him to vote for a measure which his
sensitive conscience might revolt at provided
only the reelected members were to reap
its benefits. That is the whole case. Should
this bill pass, it WILL unless we mistake the
temper of the country, be an expensive bit OF
work FOR the men who vote for it, Perhaps
there are enough members who agree i'll this
view of the case the motion to incorporate
the job into an appropriation bill failed yes
terday, by decisive majority.
