[From Anderson Intelligencer.l
Homestead Amen dment to the Bank
rupt Law.

The homestead decision, now so
universally made prominent topic
in private conversation, appears in
to-day's issue. We have already
stated that the declaratory act of
Congress, in reference to the home.
stead exemptions, afforded the only
measure of relief to debtors, who
would be compelled to go into
bankruptcy to secure and maintain
these exemptions, and herewith we
present the full text of the aforesaid
act, that our readers may know its
exact provisions. Some of the
lawyers do not coincide with the
view that bankruptcy will secure
the homestead, on the ground that
Congress cannot pass a law "inl=
pairing the obligation of contracts" ="
and that this amendment to the
bankrupt law virtually effects an
impairment, equivalent in its prac:
tical sense to similar exemptions by
the State Legislature: We are
aware that this question has not
been decided by the Supreme
Court Of the United States, and
that is yet to be argued before that
tribunal. AFederal Judge in Vir-
ginia has decided the amended
bankrupt law to be constitutional,
and should this opinion receive the
concurrence of the highest legal
authority, then will the homestead
xemptlons be allowed in bank
ruptcy. But, on the other hand, it
will take some time to receive an
authoritative declaration from the
Supreme Court, and in the mean

Thus grateful, joyous, greet the spring,
For early flowers are peeping.
Their eyes are pecpinr from the bed

sOLoM0N'S TEMPLE.

SOulc interesting ldClS are given
i'm an article in the Etlnb,tiy Rerielo
respecting Solomon's temple. In
size, the great pyramid of Egypt is
the only structure on the earth
which could be compared with it.
":The Great Pyramid demanded,
indeed, a larger amount of naked
human labor; but in Moriah there
is a 'compn1sion of the features of
Nuture herself to the service of
the builder. In actual bulk, the
Great Pyramid is to the Temple
rock as five to nine, if we descend
but as far as the sills. of the, five
double gates of the mountain Of
the house. If we carry the COM
parison downto the level at which
the lowest foundation of the walls
is inlaid in the rock at the angles
Of the enclosure, the bulk is three
times that of the Great Pyramid.
The cubic contents of the mason's
work may not amount to a tenth
part of that piled up by Souphis.
But the hill has been honeycomed
with chambers and galleries; and
the declining part to the south
covered with vaults ant arches,
to which Gizeh can show no .paral-'
lei The length of the eastern
wall of the sanctuary is rather
more than double that of one side
of the Great Pyramid. It's height
from the foundation on the rock at
the south and near the northern
angles was near Fly, q third of that of
the Egyptian structure. If to this
great height of 152 feet. Of solid
wall be added the decent. of}114
feet attained by the pinnacle of the
temple porch, we have a total
height Of 426 feet, which is only
SO feet less than that Of the Great
Pyramid. The area of the face of
the eastern wall is more than dou-
BILE that of one side of the pyramid.
Thus the magnitude of the noble
sanctuary of Jerusalem tar exceed
ed that of any other temple in the
world. Two ,amphitheatres of the
size of the Coliseum would have
stood within it's colossal girdle and
left room to spare
It is estimated that the temple,
when all its parts were filled, would
hold two hundred and ten thou
sand persons. A careful exanina-
ton of the probable site Of the
brazen altar has led to the discovery
of an apparatus for furnishing a
current of air to the fires, on which
the best devices of modern science
can suggest mo improvement. In
connection with this fact, it is re-
marked by the rabbinical writers
as matter partaking of the nature
OF the miracle that, during tie
whole continuance of the first tenn
pie, not only were the three fires
that burned day and night on the
hearth of the Great Alter unex-
tinguished, but that whatever was
the weather or the current Of the
wind, the smoke always rose
straight toward heaven" ~.
The sanctuaryis neither square
nor rectangular, but trapezoidal in
shape. Tie inquiry is suggested
as to what circumstance determin-
ed its form. The question is an
swered by the survey: The north
and south lines correspond with
the meridian. The east and west
lines do not run exactly east aud
west, but with a variation of 1009'
north of east, The line points to
the. place where the sun rose on the
morning of the day the temple was
founded. -... ...
