The act of Congress to amend the bank

declares:
.That it was the true intent and mean
ing of an act approved June 8, 1872, enti-
tied San act to amend an act entitled 'An
act to establish q uniform system OF bank
ruptcy throughout the United States ap-
proved March 2, 1861" that the exemp-
lions allowed the bankrupt by the said
amendatory act should, and it is hereby en-
acted that they shall, be the amount
allowed by the constitution and
laws of each State, respectively, as
existing in the year 1871; and that such ex-
emptions be valid against debts contracted
before the adoption and passage of such
State constitution and laws as well as those
contracted after the same, and against liens
by Judgment or decree of any State court,

since the adoption and passage of such con-
stitution and laws to the contrary notwith-

The effect of this amendment may be
gathered from the following list Of exemp-
tions now allowed by State laws:

THE Hartford CouTGnt (Republican) says
Cakes Ames thought Congressman as he
would buy pig iron" And for this an
attempt was made to expel him, but he had
bought too many, ard The attempt failed.
When lie returned home bis Republican
Constituents received him with = public
ovation, the address of welcome closing
with the following sentiment
"rhe Hon. Cakes Ames-like gold from
tie crucible, he has passed through the
fiery ordeal and come out the brighter and
purer."
COlfax, who was one of Ames' purchases.
was received by his Republican constitu-
ents mike manner. When the chief in.
shuments of corruption are thus honored,
is it any wonder that the Republican party
is bee ming the most corrupt this country
has ever known?

TERRACE IRRIGATION.

1t is more than 100 years since the Span
iards settled in New Mexico and introduce
ed the practice Of terrace irrigation. In
the valley of San Antonio, Western Texas,
the same system of watering land was COM
menced in 17lS, and perfected in l740; or
733 years ago. Preston, tie historian des-
cribes, or rather notices, irrigating canals
Mexico 500 miles in length, constructed
by the unknown bu5 more civilised people
of this continent, who preceded the Indians
found by Columbus. Our industrial devel-
opment has not reached the point of dig
ging canals 500 miles long to manure culti-
waited and impoverished fields; but we are
rapidly Fastening to that necessary work.
Tennessee hills will "lesp like lambs, and
her mountains like rams" when terrace ir-
rigstion in all its beauty and per-
lection, cover their sides and slopes, valleys
and coVes with the most luxuriant verdUIe,
with endless flocks and herds, aud with a
rich, free and happy people. Water and
snow, that fall so abuudantly on the top of
our mountains, are productive power Of
inestimsble value. With terrace culture
and moving water, the great forces of CRAWL
tstion, solar heat and light, vegetable and
animal vitality viii move with peculiar &C
tivity, and easily attain extraord mary and
most desirable results. In early times our
progenitors worshipped mountains as the
very gods Of plenty. Terrace irrigation is
the poetry of fertility in motion, while a
low swamp is fever and ague, shaking with
chills and writhing in pain.
Although many of US live in sight of hills
and mountains, how few know anything
about agriculture driven by gravitation. If
the amiable French Broad, Holston, or
Cumberland brings grstuisOusly plant food
from far off mountains and lays it down in
our corpfelds, such gravltation is all right
and well understood. Terrace irrigation is
more than this; it is nature with her face
washed and hair eOmbed. In place of
freshets that tear rich bottoms into river
beds, masses of rock and pools of stagnsnt
water, all the water Of these floods is utiliz-
ed to produce the utmost crops possible,
aided by all The light of advanced science,
and all the strength of perfect mechanics.
The Hanging Gardens in the city of Baby
Ion were held for ages as one of the seven
wonders of the world. They were irrigated
in teITsces, snd illustrated in small way,
at SfRsZly time, some of the advantages OF
, go steR of,@pil-culture. Herodotus in
15rns u fkt aA province of Babylon pre-
200 fold; just twice as much from
Ne seed planted as Isaac raised in Palestine.

IHNIIGRATIOE.

There is circulated in Europe, every
where, a pamphlet in which every device is
employed to prevent the assertion of emf
grants of preference for homes in the South.
There is a picture Of a bright, pretty cot
tage on one page, surrounded with all ap-
planes of comfort and taste that distin-
guish New Englander's home. On the
opposite page is q picture Of a Southern
farm house and negro's shanty. Fences
are oVerthrown; there are no flowers, save
those that smile simply because the sun
shines so brilliantly and the rain falls SO
softly, and the seasons are so kindly and
full of life-giving force. Weeds and grass
oVerrun the grounds about the wrecked,
uIcared-for Southern homestead, and the
abiding place of the laborer is more repul-
sive than zig stye. 1t might be well 10
have few Southern publications, distribu-
ted over Europe, and yet there are no Or
gaBized agencies for this purpose in the
South, and can be no perfect remedy for
evils of gross misrepresentation OF which
we omplain.-AuguStd Chronicle and Sen
tjnel.
Southern capitalists and common bust
ness men have yet to learn the true value
Of printers ink for all legitimate business
purposes. Our agricultural and mineral
wealth in the ground can only be taken out
by labor, of which we need far more than
We now possess. This labor abounds in
Europe; and to Europe we should send
well arranged and truthful Industrial
Tracts by tie million, to make known the
industrial advantages of Tennessee. The
chief power of the North, both at home and
abroad, is in its ubiquitous press.
SOutherners must use this lever that
moves the world, or fail as a business peo-
pie in a signal manner. Advertise our coal,
iron, copper, water power, and rich lime
stone farming lands, in all parts of England,
Scotland, Ireland, Germany, and in other
nations. While doing this, let us put our
shoulders to the wheel to develop our best
resources, and employ the labor and capital
we now possess in that which will return
the largest profit. Too few of our youth of
both sexes and all colors are learning me-
ch lnical trades. Operatives in factories
will earn more money for all. They will
create better home market for grain and
all kinds of provisions raised by the farmer.
By producing coal and iron by the million
tens a year, we shall more than double the
value Of our farms by the extent OF our re-
liable home markets for all the products Of
the soil. Such markets are clearly within
our reach, and belong to m anufacturing in
dustry. All cannot prosper By raising corn
to be burnt in part for food.

The New York Tribune thinks that
Senator Bogy, probably unintentionally,
administered severe rebuke to Senators
and Representatives who have been voting
on their own cases of censure or expulsion.
The busiest men in the Credit Mobiler de-
bate and voting thereon were those who
were enveloped in its cloud of scandal.
Senator Bogy, referring to the charges
which have been brought against him in the
Senate, says he shall not vote on any ques-
tons relating to the standing of his ascot
ates In the Senate until be has ceased TO be
the subject Of investigation himself. The
Tribune expresses the opinion that the Sen
ate must have been sstonished by such a
rare exhibition Of forbesrance.
