Homestead, Relief and Bankruptcy

We have seen in several of our ex-
changes complaints as to the operation
of the recent decisions of the Supreme
Court Of the United States in respect of
the coustitu,ionality Of the homestead
and relief laws. These complaints are
doubtless just. There were hardships
inaugurated in the passage cf these laws
and there will be hardships in carrying
out the act which blotS them from the
statute book. These laws, while they
granted certain sort Of relief to one
c''ass, ignoring another class equally as
large, were rNiuous in their effect and
absolutely unjust;
But those who had taken refuge under
these nullifcd laws have still door open
for relief in the Bankrupt law, as has
already been stated in these columns.
For the information of such. we print
the followi ,g fronAthe Atlanta Constttu-
tion, signed by Mr.. Lawson Black, Reg
lister in Bankruptcy:
A man who is unable to pay his debts
and owes more than three hundred dol.
lars, can ile his petition in the United
States Districts Court in Bankruptcy.
The party filling petition has to pay all
costs, which varies according to the case
and number of creditors. If there are
sufficient assets, he gets back all cash OK
cept fifty dollars and his counsel fees.
And all ofhis property is converted into
msncy by his assignee in Bankruptcy,
except two thousand dollars worth of
household and kitchen furniture, and
other necessary articles, all of which
must be set apart by the assignee as pro-
perty Of the debtor in fec simple. The
debtor gets a discharge from all debts
contracted before the first day of Janua-
ry, 1869 Aud if his assets in the hands
of the assignee are equal to fifty cents on
the dollar of his debts contracted since
said date, which are proven in court, he
will be discharged from all his debts.
And if all or large portion of the assets
are taken by older liens or debts it will
make no difference, and he will be dis
charged from all his debts. And he is
entitled to the exemption before men,
toned against liens, judgments, mort
cages and debts, whether contracted be-
fore or since January l, 1869.

| STRONG SOUTHERN COMPANY.

The only southern life insurance COM
pany doing business in New York rs the
Piedmont and Arlington, Of Virgi..ia Un-
dcrthe management o;Col. VIC Caring
ton, it is having most successful career.
Few companies north or south can show
so good business, relative, of last year.
The increase ofncw business in 1872 over
1871 was 4l2 policies, $l24,S24 amount
at risk, and Si0,9 premiums. Its to-
tai income receipts were 81 ,25O, 9O4. and
it distributed among the widows and
children of policyholders the large sum of
$336,026. Since the beginning Of the
new year the rush of business has been
greater than ever, the number ofpolicics
taken out in February alone being 435
and the risks on them being 81 100000.
All this is evidence of the high cstima-
ton in which this company is held in the
south, and that Endorsement is sufficient
to satisfactorily commend it to the pat
ronagc of the people Of other sections Of

The Caldwell Homicide Case.

Capt. Tupper has been brought in guilty
Of manslaugbter for the killing of Cald-
we'll in Columbia last summer. He has
appealed for new trial. The man who
is morally accountable for the death Of
Caldwell is now attorney general of the
State. Had he refrained from q rufainly
and cowardly attack upon Montgomery,
Caldwell would have been alive to-day and
Tupper would be free from the memory OF
o dreadful deed. We do not see how an
unbiased jury could find verdict other
than justifable homicide in Tupper's case
We think he would have been lawfully jus
tifed in killing all three of the Melton
party, and are only sorry that the most
culpable man OF the whole lot of law
breakers not only escapes Scott free, but
lives to occupy one Of the highest law
offices of the State.

The Largest Bona Eide Circulation
From Chicago to the Sea.

Mr.. w. S. Raymond, president
of the Indianapolis, Delphi and
Chicago railroad, called upon US on
Monday. lie is an ardent advo-
cate of a direct line of railroad
from Chicago to the South Atlantic
ports. The route he favors is from
Chicago, Delphi, Indianapolis,
and Greensburg to Vevay, on the
Ohio; ; thence to Lexington, Ky,
and Knoxville, Tenn; thence via
Rabun Gap to Augusta, where he
will meet his outlet to the sea, the
Port Royal, ruilroad.
A convention was held in Angus
ia on Tuesday in favor of this pro-
ject. Of course Georgia will favor
coming from Rabun Gap via the
IIartwcll road, through Columbia,
Lincoln, Wilkes, Elliott and Hart
counties.
We believe, however, that the
better route will be via the Blue
Ridge road to Anderson, through
Abbeville and Edgcfeld counties
to Augusta. Over three million
dollars worth of available work has
been done on this route. The road
is now in fair way to be taken
out of the hands of political rascals,
and once more appear as a bona
fide enterprise. Our people should
awake to the Importance of putting
the Blue Ridge into such a condi-
tion as that it will be ready to
compete as a connecting link in the
great line certain to be soon in
operation from Chicago to Knox
vile.
The route proposed by Mr.. Hay
mond is the very shortest that can
be made from Chicago 20 this port.
A great part of it will be built
through new country, where no
line will contest with it directly for
business.
Some inducements are offered by
route from Lexington, Ky,
through Cumberland Gap, thence
to Asheyille, N. c., and thence
through South Carolina to Augusta
and Port Royal. This route would
pass through one of the finest min
eral regions of the continent, abound
ing in coal and ;rop.

Chief Justice Chase died in New York,
on the 7th inst, of paralysis. Both of his
daughters and Senator Sprague were at

or three weeks and then return to Wash
ington. and after short stay there, 60 to
