Hon. Allen T. Caperton.

A Radical correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times, writing from Winfield, W. Va, after
abusing the Legislature generally, thus speaks
of the new Senatar:
We can not refrain from congratulatinc our
Legislature ON the election of Allen T. Ca
perton to the United States Senate. Allen is
a gentleman in the full sense of the word He
ls highly esteemed aud bis culture, intelIi>
Sence and experience command the respect of
everybody coming in contact with him He
represented Virginia in tie Confederate Sem
ate, was distinguished member of the Vir>
g'nla Legislature in time past, andshis sbili>
ties aud irreproachable character are quaii-
cations not often the property of our modern
politicians Though Whig-if there is such
thing-and elected by Democrats, the Re-
publicsns cheerfully indorse his election and
we all are confident that his presence in the
United States Senate will greatly benefit our
State.
The same correspondent says: As the
most important bills, such as school, road and
way bills, have not been touched in our Leg
islature. our Solons concluded to re- assemble
on the 10th day of November for the purpose
OF holding pocket edition to supplement the
forty days session, but as an euterprising
Charleston party-if reports are true, will
take out an injunction to prevent the capital
from "moving." we can hardly tell where our
Legislature will convene.
WAIVER OF Observation-Disclosures Forbes
referred the following question, which arose
IN the case OF q. A. Blanton, bankrupt, to
Judge Il. W. Hughes for decision:
'Does the waiver of the homestead give
any specific or other lien on the assets of the
han kYn H., 4, Al
for distribution and are creditors holding
such waiver entitled to priority over other
general creditors, not holding such waiver 2"
Judge Hughes has given the following de-
cision:
1.-The waiver of the homestead defeats the
homestead exemption pro tanto. The amount
OF the assets thus prevented from passing to
the bankrupt as an exemption, if there are no
liens by execution or otherwise binding the
assets, become subject to the claims of the
creditors generally"
Counsel will submit the question to Judge
Bond.-Richmond Wig.
