THE FESTIVAL OF ALL SAINTS.


To-day throughout the Catholic world the
Church honors all the saints reigning to-
gcthor In glory: First, to give thanks to God
for the graccs and crowns Of all his elect;
secondly, to excite the faithful to ferycnt
imitation Of their virtues; thirdly, to implorc
the divine mercy through their intcrccssion;
and, fourthly, TO repair any failures in not
having duly honored God In his saints on
their particular festivals, and to glorify him
in the saints who are unknown here below,
or for whom no particular festivals have been
appointed. All the saints, therefore, are
comprised IN this one solemn commemOra-
ton.
In this, as In all other festivals Of the
saints, the Church contcmplates God as the
only object OF supreme worship, while the
inferior vcneration given 10 the elect is so
directed Us to give sovereign honor to the
Creator alone, whose gifts their graces are.
Hence the petitions of the faithful are ad-
dressed to the saints only as to holy fellow
creatures, for the assistance Of their prayers
TO God.
The festival Is of ancient origin, and was
instituted to supersede the Pagan worship of
the gods. After the Punishment Of idolatry,
the Pagan edi6ces were In many instances
purified and dedicated to the service of the
true God.
Tho Greeks keep q festival Of All Saints on
the Sunday after Whitsunday. The festival
In the Roman Catholic churches Is celebrated
on the LIST of November.
The I'd Of the present month, known as
memoration OF the faithful departed; but, as
Sunday occurs this year on that day, the
feast Is transferred to Monday, the Sd in
slant. On this day the churches are robed
In mourning, and the services arc Of the most
solemn and impressive character.

THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.



RICHMOND, Oct. 3i.-In the United States Cir
Gait Court to-day, In the cases OF q. W. Delivers
and others, bankrupts, Judge II. L. Bond rendered
most important decision. The creditors, hav-
ing docScted Judgment, obtained DEGREES In the
State court decreasing the sale OF Delivers prop
erty. Afterwards Delivers ned petition in
bankruptcy. and claimed the homestead exemp-
ton OF 81, 900, which exemption was allowed In
the United States District Court by Judge Un-
derwood. The creditors then carried the case
before Judge Bond by petition, and he decided
the following points, which entirely reverse the
ruling OF Judge Underwood:
First. When suits are pending In State courts,
before the commencement OF bankruptcy pro-
oeedlngs, II there he no suggestion OF fraud
and no interests OF the general creditors Will be
pTejudlcod, the bankrupt court ought to inter-
fere with the jurisdiction Of the State court.
Second When the bankrupt has made deed
OF trust to secure creditors he Is not entitled to
any exemption, but u the property conveyed
under the deed Is satisfied, even although the
deed be adjudged fraudulent as to creditors by
the State court.
Third. When the proceedings In bankruptcy
were commenced before the passage OF the
amendatory act OF March ., 1873, the bankrupt
Ia entitled 10 such exemption only as allowed by
the laws existing at the time the proceedings
commenced.
Fourth. The amendatory act, 80 far as 1t Is
amendatory Of the intention OF the act OF 1867,
Is void.
Fifth. The rights Of the bankrupt and his
creditors are fixed according TO the laws In force
when the bankruptcy proceedings commenced,
and no subsequent legislation can affect them.
