A OBSERVED CoMpL1MBNT.-Judge Stewart, of
the Page Courier, pays the following deserved
and graceful compliment to the retiring editor of
the liarrisonburg Old Commonwealth:
This able and influential Journal has changed
hands, and its late accomplished editor, Jacob N.
Ligget, Esq, retres from his post with brief,
pointed and rather business like vaedictory
That he fulfilled his mission with marked ability
and scruPilous honor aad fidelity, all will adj
nit. So far as his voice and pen were concerned
he suffered no harm to come to the Common
wealth, or no faint Of dishonor to mildew It's
garments. Even in his severest and most search
ing criticisms of men and measures, he carried
the 'suaviter in mode W it'll the fortiter in re y
He handled the magical sword with wonderful
dexterity, and cut and healed at the same time.
We part with him in more than ordinary sor-
row and regret, as his paper was great treat to
us. as it weekly spread its literary flower garden
before us, and whose shady hooks and graveled
walks he peopled with so many bright images,
each carrying one of his choice boqnets.' And
then he brought to his aid with such wonderful
facility philosophers to reason-historians to
teach-orators to be eloquent, and poets to sing.
We have often laid down his paper with the ex-
ca1nation "What wonderful and versatile
genius Ligget isl But then again and better
than all, while the mind. the genius and learning
of the man attracted our admiration, the heart
which so frequently glowed over his columns
charmed and won us. The profession has lost
one Of its ablest members and brightest ornaments,
but we trust that what the press has lost the
public service of the State will gain, and that
Rockingham Will see it done, and we'll done.

head is inclined on his left side In its mouth it
has scrole running parallel with its wings.
In the one under the right wing is inscribed
''Ldbor Omnia Vincit." On that of the left, we
find 'sNI mortalibus ardlum est.' AS we looked
upon it, SO complete; SO perfect and so beautiful,
we could but dwell for awhile upon he signif
canoe of the notices it bore. Did but more Of
cur young ladies, and we may add young men,
take home the words of Horace as we find them
inscribed on the scrole, I'VE would soon see the eff
feet, if more would cast off the robe Of pride, and
not stand with folded arms and patiently wait for
laurels to crown their brow, we would soon see
the truthfa}ness Of that inscription. We admire
the ambition of this lady, she has an unrivall ed
talent in the art of pen drawing which promises
distinction.

fsanssapt Decisio,t.

Judge Rives, Of the U. S. District court, at
the recent term Of his Court, ID Hartisonburg,
rendered an .inpoitantI decision. in bankruptcy,
which we find reported in subsistence in the State
Journal as followsi
Counsel had referred to a recent decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States upon a
case from Georgia, in which the Supreme Court
had virtually sustained the decision of the Court
of Appeals of Virginia rendered the 18th June
last, to the effect that the homestead exemption
allowed by State constitution could not be set
U against Gntecedent de5ts being in violation of
the provision Of the Constitution of the United
States fcrbidding State from passing any law
impairing the obligation Of contract" The
Judge expressed satisfaction at this decision and
! remarked that it was noticeable as deciding that
the remedy existing at the time of tie contract
is part of the contract and falls within cont EN-
platon of the national Constitution forbidding 8
State from impa!riug that contract.
'But the Judge held that this decision of the
Supreme Court Of the United States only went to
deny tile power Of Sia.e to give retrospective
homestead exemption. 1t did not and could not
| lmpeach the power of Congress to pass bank
rurt law impairing he obligation Of contracts by
giving retroactive homestead exemptions or in
any other way not in conflict with the only limi-
tation imposed upon congress in this matter by
rupt law should be AaJ. nj J be J, q GoonsGe ed
that the amendatory bankrupt law Of March g.
1873. was uniform, as we'll a. The laws of which
| 1t was amenslatory: and therefore constitutional
He held that it was the very essence of a bank
| rupt law to impair the obligation of contracts,
and the fact that by giving homestead as against
pre- existing debts, it impaired the obligation Of
contracts, was no argument against the consttu'
tionaty of its bankrupt laws. The decision OIL
| the Supreme Court Of the United States in the
Georgia case went only to deny the power Of a
| State to pass retroactive homestead exemption
and not of Mspower Of Congress, and has no bear
ing upon the acts of June 8, 1872, and March, 8
! 1872
In the same decision, Judge Rives took the
ground that his court had sof right full, complete
| and exclusive jurisdiction Of the bankrupt's es.
| tate wherever found, and in whatever state Of
litigation, with power to terminate litigation in
other courts and to collect, marshal, and admin
lister all assets."
In this position he sustained his opinion by

TAXES FOR THE CoNsTRUcrIoN OF Rail
ROADS UNcoNsrITUTIoSAB.-The Supreme
Court Of Ohio has pronounced upconsttu-
tional a law Of that State empowering COM
munitles to levy taxes for the construction Of
railroads The grounds ofthe decision, which
was unanimous, are, that such taxation is not
for public purposes, for which alone taxes can
be constitutionally levied. and that the State
Legislature is forbidden by the constitution
to authorize any community to engage in
this way in private enterprises, directly or
indirectly AS the constitutional convention
of Ohio is now in session it is probable that
this matter will receive their attention.
