THE HOMESTEAD LAWS.

Last week we published an article showing
that the homestead laws of several of the
Southern States-South Carolina among the
number-cannot act retrospectively, or in
other words, that they cannot apply to debts
contracted previous to the passage Of such
laws. The case came up from Georgia, and
the Supreme Court of the United States de-
cided that State Legislature cannot enact a
retrospective homestead law, and in so far as
such laws are intended to affect debts contract
ed prior to their enactment, they are unconsti-
tutional, null and void.
This decision, which takes no lawyer by
surprise, will disturb and distress many debt
ors who have been innocently relying upon
the retrospective homestead law of this State
to secure to them homestead free from en-
barrassment and encumbrance; and those
who have been resting on this fancied securi-
ty now suddenly and unexpectedly find them
selves without protection, save that which is
afforded by the bankrupt laws of the United
States. Far better would it have been for
our people-especially the debtor class-had
not the Legislature tampered with this SUBJ
ject The longer the payment Of debt is
deferred the more difficult the payment be-
comes; and the debtor having in the mean.
while rested in fancied security, has, we opine,
made no provision to meet his obligations,
and is consequently in worse condition than
before the enactment of the law providing the
supposed relief:
1t now appears that the only hope for those
who cannot pay their Indebtedness and reserve
homestead-it being conceded that every
debtor in possession of homestead is entitled
to that at least-is in the Court of Bankrupt
cy. This Court is established by the Consti-
tuition of the United States. From its decis-
ions there is no appeal !; and the poor debtor
having availed himself of its benefits can
have confidence to begin anew in life's great
struggle without the fear of legal distractions
or uncertain enactments. The article on our
first page upon this subject, is from the pen Of
an able lawyer, who has large practice in
both State and Federal Courts.

S25O,OOO SUBSCRIBED D

1t will be gratifying to the friends of the
.narrow.gauge railroad, projected between
Chester and Lenoir, N. c., via Yorkville, to
learn that not less than two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars have already been subscrib'
ed in aid of the enterprise. On Monday last,
the County Commissioners of Chester made a
subscription of one hundred thousand dollars
to the road, having decided not to hold an
election to determine the question of subscrip'
ton, as was previously contemplated. This,
with the subscription of one hundred thousand
dollars by the County Commissioners of York,
and subscriptions already made by private
individuals to the amount of fifty thousand
dollars, provides the handsome sum of two
hundred and fifty . thousand dollars with
which to commence the work of building and
equipping the road. ....... . a.:
On the 18th of next month, a meeting of
the stockholders of the Chester and Lenoir
Narrow Gauge Railroad Company, chartered
by the Legislature of South Carolina, and the
stockholders of the Carolina Narrow Gauge
Railroad Company, chartered by the Legisla-
ture of North Carolina, will be held at Hick-
ory Tavern, for the purpose of eaecting con-
solidation of the two companies So soon as
this is accomplished, it is proposed to engage
a corps of engineers, commence the survey
and location of the route, contract for the
grading, and make necessary arrangements
for the completion of the road without any
unavoidable delay.

-----.---.~.-. ALABAMA AFFAIRS.
Butt am upon the sacred soil Of Alabama,
and will let Louisiana matters take care of
themselves for the present. Here in Alabama
people seem to be getting along much better
than in the much-govefned and distracted
State of Louisiana. Taxes are lower, and
there is not that universal anxiety and dis.
trust pending.
The Legislature here has, however, passed
law which may make some trouble. They
have passed the civil rights bill, giving ne
groesg the same rights in street.cars, railroad
cars, steamboats,, hotels, restaurants, &C., as
the whites. This will cause mose evils than
it will cure In strict justice, a negro ought
to have the same accomm sdation for the same
amount of money that white man receives.
But prejudice runs too deep, and an attempt
to give the negroes the right to enter first
class hotels, 30, will only result in giving
some of them the right to have their heads
broken. It lis not worth while to- be too fast
in thrusting the negroes forward: Ii The. ,ad-
vances they have made in the past ten years
ought to be sufficient to satisfy them and
their Jealous friends for some time yet
The civil rights bill went through the Ala
bama Legislature the aid of the carpet
baggers, the negroes, and, I think, two Demo-
Gratis. The Democrats said the party had
been committed to- that sort of business at
Baltimore: although only two of the large
numbsrrin,t the Legislature. tookn that view.
There are twenty.eight negro membsrs,i and
they Of course favored the. law. These, with
the carpetbaggers, carried the day. 2Itwould,
perhaps, be- the part good taste if the North
ern men in the South would not insist 90, stren-
uously for "rightsn for the. negroes until our
brethrepi in the North set theexample at home.
.. 1 intended to have gone up Red river from
