MONUMENT TO FATHER DERosE.-A large
number of Catholics assembled last evening at
the Cathedral to consult as to what action
should be taken for the erection of monument
to Father DeRose. Father Bradley presided
over the deliberations. A committee of TWEEN
ty-fve gentlemen was appointed to solicit per-
sonal subscriptions from every Catholic in the
city, that all may have the opportunity to con-
tribute. 1t was decided to erect monument
in the Cathedral and slab at the cemetery.
The Bishop proposes to erect the slab at his
own expense. The boxes were passed around
to enable those present to contribute what they
wished as tribute of respect to the memory OF
their loved pastor, and a very generous sum
was the result. A special meeting of the COM
mittee was held in the Sacristy after the meet
ing

The PoLICE.-The new City Marshal, Mr.
Parker, and his deputies, Messrs. Williams and
Bridges, went into commission at ten o'clock
yesterday morning. Of the merits of the new
officers it is scarcely necessary to speak. Mr.
Williams has already approved himself a
faithful, vigilant and very efficient officer and
we doubt not the others will make themselves
good record in the year to come.

The House then adjourned until Thursday
In the House of Lords Earl Granville made
statement identical with that of Gladstone in

THE HOMESTEAD LAW AND THE
SUPREME COURT.

1t is well known TO every reader
Of legal literature; to those CONVEX
san. with the existing and past law,
that Judge Warner Of the Supreme
Bench of Georgia, hos steadily held
that the Homestead law enacted by
the Convention Of 1868, was retro
active, and therefore not in accord
ance with justice and of right. He
has been IN every instance overrul-
ed by his associates, and the law,
therefore. has been enforced, Judge
Warner 10 the contrary notwith.
standing. But one Of their deci-
sions, Gum VS. Hart from Ran
dolph county, was carried TO the Su-
preme Court Of the United States,
and there Judge Warner was aus
tanned and Joe Brown and Kent Nc
McCay reversed. The Supreme
Judges tell them, that whilst a
Homes cad law may be enacted and
enforced from the date Of It's passage,
it can take no Jurisdiction Of what il
behind it.
In other words This law weas in
to operation in 1868, upon q certain
day. Up to that day the property
Of every man was liable Tor hi,
debts as usual. But after that time
a man might avail himself Of the
Homestead Act to defeat any action
Of those who reposed confidence in
his ability TO pay, up to the amount
Of ,hIec thousand dollars.
so that if you owed nne dollar or
fifty thousand dollars at the time Of
this enactment in 1868, the Supreme
Court If the United States says you
cannot take the benefit Of the Home
stead Act. Ii was a retroactive
law. 1t impaired the validity Of
contracts. It stepped in and inter-
ferred with plain bargains between
man and man and It's meanness and
injustice consisted in that it gave
ono Of the parties to a contract an
advantage over the other never con-
templated when the bargain was
made.
However hard the decision may
be upon some Of our feIlov-citizens
we cannot help saying it is right
Never so long as Justice reigns will
any authority be given q legislative
body to impair the validity Of con-
tracts. And any retroactive law,
therefore, will stand barely long
enough to be knocked down.--MG.

The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1873-04-18
JUDGE WARNER SUSTAINED.

From dispatches from Washing
ton we learn that the Supreme Court
Of the United States has declared the
Relief and the Homestead laws Of
Georgia unconstitutional, SO far "a
they relate to debts contracted be-
fore the passage Of the laws. This
decision Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States sustains the min
ority decisions Of Judge Warner on
these Laws. 1t also removes the
principal objecton TO q Constitn.ion-
al Convention in Georgia, Many
objected to the Convention for fear
these two Ordinances would be lef,
out of the new Constitution; but ri
they have been disposed Of by the
Supreme Court of the United States
that objection no longer exists.-
