Homestead.

This is a home question with many OF
our citizens.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States has recently decided that the
provisions Of State Constitutions and
State Laws allowing the homestead
against contracts and judgments
C existing prior to their adol ton or pas
sage, are in contravcmioH of the Consti-
tu;ionSof the United States and there.
fore void in such cases.
The L. S. Constitution, however, con-
trols the States only{on this po.ns, and
imposes no Limitation upon Congress,
which, by its Bankrupt Law, allows
homestead and cx cmptions in onch State
to the amount fixed by the Constitution
md Laws thereof as they cxistal in
1871.
In tsc i'ntcrcst af the citizen it is Co
be regretted that proceedings in Bank

Applying this section of the act to
the Constitutions and laws of the
various States as they stood in 1871,
and constituting the whole in the spirit of
the maxim above cited, the amount Of
homestead ahdexemptions allowed many
given State is absolutely fixed and
absolutely certain
This disposes efectually of the points
raised by the Dispatch.
But there is graver question than
any raised by the Dipatch-and it is
this: The amounts allowed as exemp-
tions are not the same in all the States :.
La South Caroliua, for instance, the
amo INT allowed is $500, while in some
other States the amount is greater and
in other, again, less. Is such Bunk,
rupt law m.tf'rmp ? This is tho question
upin which the U. S. Courts will
finally have to pass So
Our opiniou is, that the law is in ali
respects constitutional. The reasons
upon which we base our opinion will
appear in another article.

Fhc bankrupt Law---An Tns-
81. POriant Question.

Since writing the 70 rcyoing article we
have considered with soaic care the
argumeut oil the Richmond DIP uch,
which appears on oar lirst p,sc, as to
the unconstitutinnality Of certain pro.
visions of the bankrupt Law.
The points made by the O;spohA
amount -simply to this:
That the act Of Congress allowing
homestead exemptions is unrons tuition
~ for the reasons:
aJl list. That il ovtprides eh" fhcisiuh of
the Virginia Court Of Nppe'As, and,
Cd That it is not uniIJa,m, ns it neither
respects tic State laws nor fixes the
amount itpcli,,"
AS to the first ppiut, il is sufficient To
reply that the t. S. Constellation, by
express terms, empowers Congress to
pass mi/orm bankrupt law. If the
|aiv is "niI1rn there is no question as to
its constjtutionllity.
The DiYutch says that the law is not
uniform for the reason tlat "it neither
respects the State law, nor fixes tho
amount itsclf."
or course no man with an ounce of
brain would seriously declare Il Bank
rupt act unconstitutional for the mere
reason that it faiIcd ts'"respect" some
law or laws Of Virginia SO We shall
despatch that put Of the ltSp,ich'S 5

the words, OF the Old law maxim, that

what can be made certain, Cor lixcd,) is
certain (or fixcd).- and to refer the Dis
patch to that part of the Bankrupt act
which reads as follows:
1T is hereby enacted that !Icy (ihe

laws of each State respectively as exist

Mr.. Summers Divorce.

1t has already been announced that
Mr.. Sumner had obtained divorce
from his young and dashing wife, On the
ground ofcontinuod pbsence-five years
under the Massachusetts laws. She was
the widow offa millionaire Massachusetts
Congrcssnian-Mr. Hooper-nnd only
twenty two. The Cincinnati Enquirer
says:
We know not how it may be, but it
has been said that 4 jealousy on the
part Of the Honorable Senator had
considerable to do with this unfortunate
proceeding. There was, naturally, a
disparity of years and of tastes and
habits. This almost universally pro-
duces an unhappy marriage But in
this instance it was aggravated. Mr..
Sumner was not only bachelor of long
maturcd habits, but he had formed
other connections and associations pccu-
liar to himself aside from that fact.
For instance, it was said chat he al
ways had his carriage at the door at any
party or ball they mutually attended, at
which he would say, Madame, it is now
10 O'clock it is time 10 90 home, and
our conveyance is below" She would
reply, 81 am happy to hear it. You are
sleepy and tired. Co home and 90 to

WASHINGTON.
o'KcIley to be Sent to spain.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Secretary
of State this evening received telegram
from Gen. Sickles, stating that the Cuban
authorities have been ordered to send
O'Kelley to Spain.
Belknap has returned.
The President has appointed VIM. E.
Davis Assistant Treasurer, of Cincinnati,
and Alva A. Knight Collector of Florida.
The Spanish and American Commission
heretofore considered the claim of
Perfecto D'Rojas as an American citizen
against Spain for the confiscation of his
property in the Island of Cuba. D'Rojas
filed his application to become an Ameri-
can citizen on the 2Sth of September, 1870.
The claims treaty was ratified in Feb
ruary, 1871. The Spanish advocate con-
tended against the advocate for the United
States that D'Rojas did not come within
terms of the treaty, his citizenship hav-
ing only began but not completed
on this question. The American and
Spanish arbitration are divided, and
accordingly the case was referred to
the umpire of Baron Ledover, the Austrian
Minister, for settlement. He has decided
that Rojas does not come within the terms
of the treaty, and overruled the case. Six
or eight similar clauses are settled by this
decision,

The Best Way to Correct Mistakes.

A good story is told of a prominent
man who lived in Detroit forty years
ago.
Like many of the pioneers who became
rich, he was ignorant in all that books
taught, but his learning was more like wis
dom.
He had at the time of our story Just
completed splendid new warehouse at
Buffalo; and wanting a suitable clerk to
take charge of it, he advertised for one in
the papers. The next morning, early a
candidate for the position presented him.
self. rather too f1ashy young man in ap-
pearance, but the following conversation
occurred:
"Young man, when you make mis-
take in any of your books, how do you
correct it?"
The young man explained in very pro-
fuse manner how he should proceed to
make it all right.
"a good way, no doubt, to do it," re-
want YOU"
Very soon another aspirant put in an
appearance. A similar question was asked
him, and in long an eloquent manner
he pointed out the remedy in all such
cases. st .t A.t.t ~ltsstte
All the reply was, Young man, I
shan't want YOU"
Some three or four others dropped IN
during the day, and to each one the same
question was put and they all had some
smart way of covering up error in their
books. lf.-. .-4-tr
The old gentleman was entirely ignorant
himself of the art Of bookkeeping. but
he had wisdom in all things, which is more
than a match for learning.
Just at the close of the day, plainly
dressed man, with a bright eye and brisk
step, called for the situation.

Frightened Orators.

For the encouragement of all who fear an
audience, we reprint the following from
Hawthorne's English Notebook ="
Bulwer and certain DIR. - were talk
ing together about public speaking, and
the doctor said he feared he should never
be a good speaker, he felt so badly before
he "got on his legs"
"Do you feel your heart beat" said Bull
wer, "when you are going to speak ?"
"Yes."
"Does your voice frighten you?D
eyes"
"Do all your ideas forsake you?"
"Yes.n --,so.oN 80 ffof9
''Do you wish the floor to open and swal-
low you?" ao
"Yes.n .rtrFr5 e'F. H-s
"Why. then, you'll make no orator ~
Hawthorne got on to relate that Cam
ming, on one occasion, just before speaking
in the House, asked friend sitting near
him to feel his pulse, which was throbbing
intensely. 81 know I shall make one of
my best speeches, y said the future Premier,
because I'm in such an awful funk!'
