OPINION OF JUDGE UNDERWOOD.

Judge Underwood, in the United States
district court for the eastern district of Vir-
ginia, has delivered the following opinion, in
the matter Of Stephen r. Crandall, bank
rupt:
There seems TO be so much misappreheu-
sion in the public mind, and even anon
lawyers, Of the law allowing exemptions to
bankrupts that deem it proper to make a
brief statement of the principles governing
this case. Great stress has been laid on a
decision of the United States Supreme Court
III a Georgia case reported in 18Th Wallace.
which merely decides what we all admit. that
a State can make no law impa;ring the obli
cation of contracts, All the great public
measures of general policy were wisely
placed by the Constitution framed by Nash
ington, Madison, Hamilton and our patriot
fathers, beyond the reach of townships.
cities, counties and States, and committed to
the care of the General Government The
sovereign power of coming money and regu-
lating the value thereof, Of regulating COM
merce by tariffs with foreign countries, and
between the several States and with the Tn
dian tribes, the passage of bankrupt laws, or
what is the same thing in substance the im-
pairing the obligation of contracts, were by
that great instrument expressly denied the
States, but were just as clearly secured to
tie General Government, and all these SOW
ereign powers have frequently besn exer-
cised BY that Government and regulated by
laws of Congress. In my Judgment the re-
lief thus afforded in the seven thousand
bankrupt cases in this State to men and fami-
lies reduced in most cases by the calamites
of the terrible civil war has been of Immense
and iucaleulable benefit to suffering humani.
ty. In comparatively few cases has there
been even an allegation of fraud. and the
gratitude Of relief have alone softeped the
dark shade Of an almost universal insolvency

case, not under the State law, bud under and

bankrupt law enacted by the sovereign power

BABY in a CABBAGE BARREL.-A gen.
tlemau who was in the Georgetown market
this morning reports that lady purchased
a barrel of large-sized cabbages from as, she
supposed, market woman, but that upon
examining its contents after it had reached
her home, she found live baby in it, we'll
dressed, with milk bottle in its mouth, and
SO protected by the manner in which the
cabbages had been arranged as to prevent
its suffocation. The purchaser fastened
back to the market, but the suppostious n ar

LETTER FROM GENERAL GONGSfREET
LYNcHBuRG, Va, Sept 8, 1878.
JAMES F. JOHNSON.

LYNcHBURG, Vas Sept 8, 1873,
r. y. Hughes, Esq:
Dear ,Sir-The Richmond Enquirer OF
the 26th Of August reports Colonel Withers,
in his Warrentou speech, as having said, SIN
reference to Lougstreet, he not only accepted
the issue, but went over for money,"&c.
I hope am not asking too much in ap-
peaing to you and your friends to make
known the truth in this cause. 81.
The charge of Colonel Withers, is SO
vague and indefinite that I can find pothing
in reply, except general denial, and the res
cord of my motives, as announced by mo
from time to time,
There has been no room at any time for
doubt as to my motives and wishes 10 regard
to our politics. When they were first an
uounced in the Spring of 1862 stated ex-
pressly That could see no other way by
which the southern people could reipstats
themselves in proper sympathy and relations
with the general government, aud thus save
themselves greater losses and humiliation
There commenced and ended all Of my rea.
sons and motives in connection with this
matter. and my letters have so plainly ex.
pressed my views that no one can miscon-
strue them, except they do SO through
malice
IF Colonel Withers knows the record, and
he virtually claims to know it when be makes
grave allegations as matters of fact, he knew
when he made his charge that it was not
true. If he made them in Ignorance, or
reckless disregard Of facts, he is equally cul-
pable, .e, 'o
In order, however, to place the matter be-
yond question or doubt, l propose that Colo
mel Withers give the names of the parties to
this transaction, and the time and place of its
occurrence. so as to give ne something
'angible. I think that can safely promise
him, as soon as he puts his charge in such
shape as to enable me to take hold of it,
that will prove to the world that there is
not word of truth in his allegations against
me. nor even reason for them except in
malice. 4,sn -at
Another Virginian, Rev. Mr.. Pendleton,
aiming to avail himself of the prejudice got
ten up on false statements, goes back nine
or ten years to attack my record as soldier.
[ will say to him as [ have said in reference
to the other charge that it is too vague and
indefinite as it stands to be met by the cvi.
dence Of witnesses. But. if he will give the
name of the staff officers of General Lee, and
the general and staff officers of the list oorps
of the army of northern Virginia who ara
cognizant Of facts, as he asserts them, I will
undertake to prove. by his own witnesses.
that his statement is also false.

Your most obedient servant.

The Louisville Courier Journal gives a
lengthy account of the outrages committed in
Kentucky by the Ku- Kans. A Spe-
cial correspondent was sent by that paper to
Owens and the adjoining counties, the scenes
of the horrid deeds of these lawess Clans, to
learn the truth. He reports over eighty
murders having been committed by them
The United States District Attorney for
Kentucky reports that the report in the
Journal does not give the full extent Of these
crimes. 1t is the purpose Of the government
10 probe the whole matter and bring the
guilty parties to summary punishment, 1t
seems that the leaders Of the clans in South
Carolina and Georgia, after they had been
broken up by the stern measures of the gov
ernment, IN those States, removed to Ken
lucky, and that they have been there pur

der far an excess of anything Of the kind
perpetrated during the war.

The Enquirer invites workirgmen to come
to Virginia, while the policy it advocates
has tendency directly to not only keep
them away, but to drive those out who are
here. The facility with which men who
come to Virginia, aud who do not act with
the conservative party, are converted into
g carpet baggers," does not constitute very
healthy inducement for working mon to come
here. Nor will they come 50 long as wages
are kept down, BY stagnating the industries

Every year increases the POPULAR
~ Of this valuable Hair Preparation ;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons tina. it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAZE to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
ont, as it stimulates and nour;shes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
viii create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical Ham DREssISo ever used,
as it requires fewer applications
and gives the hair . splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes ND,
