The Beauties OF Carpet Bag Government.
MONROE, La, Sept. There was
fresh excitement last night in consequence
of report that the negroes were armlng
in the northern part of the parish and were
coming to burn the town. About seventy
five negroes, mounted and on foot, were
found at Captain Hillop's place. A pariey
sued and the negroes refused to disarm,
and said they would come back with 500
men. Captain Theobold, with fifteen
men, blockaded the road with rails. The
news spread rapidly and armed whites
from this and Morehouse parishes went to
the scene; the excitement was intense, but
nothing occurred and not gun was fired.
One armed negro said the colored sheriff
of the parish instructed them to arm,
come to Monroe and burn the town. In the
southern part of the parish houses were
fired into and the trouble begun, lead
ing citizens report quiet. Some scattering
demonstrations, they say, were made last
night, but nothing serious. The situation

CARLINvILLE, Aug. 30.--EX Gov. John
NJ. Palmer appeared before an immense
audience of his friends in this city last
night for the first time in years, to discuss
the great political questions of the day.
His reception was perfect ovation, and
for over two hours his audience was elec-
trifed by his eloquence and logic. His
powerful arraignment of the Republican
party and its leaders for their iDsincerity
and corruption was followed by an expose
of the demagogues of the bloody shirt or
der who told their hearers to vote as they
shot" He showed that The Republican
state ticket was composed of civilians and
contained not one soldier. He commented
at length ou the record of John A. Logan,
who in 1852 introduced bill in the Illinois
legislature to sell all free negroes who came
to this state. To day he is the leader of
the Republican party OF Illinois. He paid
high compliment to Gov. Tiden, and to
his great work ofretorm.
At the close of Gov. Palmer's speech,
Judge Woodson of Carrolton made few
remarks, which were we'll received.

sun was shining, and only u few float

there appeared light cloud over the
farm OF Mr.. Crouch, which seemed
descending upon the earth. It hung
overhead q few blief moments and
then flakes of something white fell to
earth. The fall contfaucd ten minutes.
Men and women then went out and
examined the flakes, and discovered
them to be flesh, resembling mutton.
When picked up they quivered. ~

SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL /, /

Constitution was merely to shield the
possession Of the family homestead
against creditors having only Il
general right to subject the lands of
their debtors to their judgments; f,r
MS against Judgment creditors at large
there is rs much reason for protecting
a homestead held by defective title
as one held by good title. But the
whole sense Of the Constitution would
have to be changed, five are to sup.
pose that no judgment or order of any
Court could become the means Of
ousting the possession Of the head of
the family, for that construction would
necessarily include judgment re-
covered by one having good title to the
premises against one holding under n
defective title.
II we attempt to meet this difficulty
by intcrpolating words in the Consti
tuition, coniining the right Of excmp-
ton to cases where the person claim
ing such exemption holds by rightful
title, then we disturb til, provisions
and deprive them Of their obvious
fitness, as they stand. to provide pro
lection against Judgment creditors
having no other right to the land
than that arising from the operation
Of process issued to enforce Il money
judgment or deere.
The view just presented is confor-
mable to what was said by the Court
i'll Shclor VS.. Mason q S. G. 23S.)
The sale for foreclosure was not
forbidden by the Constitution as it re-
CARDS the homestead in question, and
the mortgagor has no right to claim
any part Of the proceeds Of sale, by
reason of the aIlcdged occupation Of
the mortgagcd premises Us family
homestead.
The judgment below must be modi-
fed accordingly.
The opinion concur red in by Chief
Justice Moses and Associate Justice
Wright.

Romance Of a Ring.

Some time ago q wealthy young
gentleman of Washington was engag.
cd 10 be married to beautiful bellc
of Mnrgantown, OF this tate, and a
brliiiant "saaciety wedding" was look.
ed forward ei5by ihc friends of both
parties particularly. the young lady.
intimatcs Of the prospective bride.
But the course Of true love was true to
the provcrb about true love III gcucr
n, and about Il month ago the engage
mcnt WAS broken oil, Low or why does
not concern this story, though the
whole affair may possibly be r,ldcIy
dragged before the public by unro
mantle lawyers, and for no t;lull-ln
less carclcssncss is Il crmc--of either
Of the parties. Ofcoursc, her engage.
mcnt broken, the young lady quickly
sent back her ring, and the quickest
way she could think Of was bv mail,
50 10y mail it went - hat is, it started
from Morgantown, but never reached
Washingt on. The gentleman made
no inquiries about it, and but fora
train Of events that couldn't possibly
have been arranged by chance, might
have gone on thinking that his former
iiancce was morccnary enough to hold
on to the magnificent ring that had
hccn q token Of her loyalty to him.
But the mysterious destiny that shapes
our ends ordered il otherwise. a few
weeks ago one Of the Morgantown
young lady's friends saw the ring on
the hand Of lady in the same town,
who was not acquainted with The first
namcd, and consequently did not
know the ring nor its history Invc.ti-
CATION was ut once begun, and few
days time and very little trouble
traced !hc ring to Il clerk in the Fair
mont post Office, who, it is alleged, had
stolen it from the mail, loaned it to Il
gentleman friend at NIannington, who
made it do duty as an engagement
ring for lis fancce in Morgantown!
The Fairmont post-otficc clerk was
arrested by the government officials
and will be tried in the United States
District Court at Purkcrsburg some
time during this month. TO the trial
Of the post-oflice clerk will be sum
moncd the young lady who "scnt bacl,
the ring and possibly all parties
connected with it, including the Nlan-
nington gcntleH,nn and his iancce
Should the question Of the ownership
of the ring come up, it will prove II
knotty one. 10 whom does or did the
ring belong Mt the time Of its loss !?
