DON'T MORTGAGE.

The recent Supreme Court decis-
ion giving the right to waive the
homestead may hold out an induces
ment to introduce the credit system,
from the simple fact the banker will
refuse to loan money or the merchant
to sell goods, unless the party buy
ing valves the right Of homestead.
1t is right and natural that the cap
italist and the merchant should pro
tect themselves by the security of
waiver and mortgage, but it will
place the homestead, in case of fail
ure TO pay, under the Shertt's hams
mer and turn many a woman and
child outdoors There are parties
who will say it is all right-wben
a man makes an honest debt he
should pay it if it takes the last shirt
oil Of his back. a man can say that
who is wealthy, but if you take the
last shirt off of a mans back you
throw him and his family paupers
upon a communication the sake of
decency, if not humanity, the coun-
~ would have to supply that dehc-
lent Shirt, or there would be a brig
ade of shirtless people on the streets,
for frequently losses Ct crops, small
prices, poor markets and big inter
est, makes it impossible for an hons
est obligation to be met at maturity.
The farm is sold and the conceutra>
ton of capital in the hands of few
moneyed men is the result. If cons
traction of the currency continues
and there is a forced specie resump-
ton, there will be a consequent de-
probation of property and more
baukrupts than heretofore.
So farmers beware of mortgages.
Don't 20 in debt with big interest
Of y to 20 per cent hanging over
your heads You are virtually gam
blers, trusting and specializing in
futures, whenever you do it, and
thus in risking all, you may lose all.
Better to live on bread and milk
and in a homestead cabin than to be
under bona to an eXacting Shyl
Interest is a thief, it is like rust on
iron, it eats day and night until all
is consumed. Ii you would be free
and prosperous, don't sign the mort
gage, don't listen to the voice of the
tempter-don't 60 in debt.

THE ENFORCEMENT ACT

! The Supreme Court of the United
States has, at last, given its decision
on the Enforcement act, in certain
cases carried up from Louisiana,
arising from the riots in Grant Par
ish in 1873, in which several negroes
were killed. The decision in effect,
declares the Enforcement act uncon
stitutional.
The chief points made in the opin-
ion of the Supreme Court are these ::
/. That the amendments to the
constitution do not confer the right
of suffrage, but only enioin that the
right shall not be abridged on &C
count OF race or color.
; That the right of suffrage is un-
der the exclusive control of the States,
with the single reservation set forth
in the amendments.
,. That to make out a case against
a party under the Enforcement Act,
it must be shown that the offence con
sisted in an attempt to interfere with
the political rights of person on
account of his race or color-that is,
conspiracy to interfere with the
rights Of Democrats or OF Republicans,
as such, without regard to race or
color, is not an oftense cognizable
under the Act in question.
Under the decision of the Supreme
Court, no indictments can be tried
under the Enforcement Act, unless
i, be shown in every case that the
wrongful ACT was committed against
a person on account Of his race or
color.

A RICH MAN ON RICHES.

The following story, says the Way
side, is told of Jacob Ridgeway,
wealthy citizen of Philadelphia, who
died many years ago, leaving a for
tune of five or six million dollars;
"Mr, Ridgeway," said young
man, with whom the millionaire was
conversing, you are to be more en-
We'd than any gentleman | know"
"Why so ?" responded Mr.. Ridge
way. IL am not aware of any cause
for which | should be particularly
envied.'
"What, sir p exclaimed the young
man in astonishment. "Why, are
you not a millionaire ? Think of the
thousands your income brings you
every month !"
"WelI, what of that 2" replied Mr..
r., "alI get out of it is my yictuals
and clothes, and can't eat more than
mans allowance, or wear more than
one suit at the same time. Pray
can't you do as much 7"
"Ah, but" said the youth, "think
of the hundreds of fine houses you
own, and the rental they bring you"
"What better am | off for that y
replied the rich man. 81 can only
live in one house at a time; as for
the money | receive for rents, why,
| cant eat il or wear it; can only
use it to buy other houses for others

aries, not
"But you can buy costly furni
ture, and costly pictures, and fine
carriages and horses in fact, any
thing you desire"
And after have bought them"
responded Mr.. r., "what theng |
can only look at the furniture and
pictures and the poorest man who
is not blind can do the same. | can
ride no easier in fine carriage
than you can IN an omnibus for hVe
cents, with the trouble of attending
to drivers, footmen aud hostlers; and
as to anything | desire, can tell
yon, young man, that the less we
desire in this world the happier we
shall be. All my wealth cannot buy
me a single more day of life; cannot
purchase exemption from sickness
and pain cannot procure me power
to keep afar off the hour of death ;
and, then, will it avail when in a |
few short years at most, | lie down
in the grave and leave it all foreveri
Young man you have no cause TO

A STRANGE SUIT.
Under this head the Pike County

Under this head the Pike County
Courier publishes the following:
We learn that our county commits
sioners bought a plantation in the
western part of the county TO use as
poor farm, paying $4,000 cash, as
the whole amount of purchase money
The tract of land bought had been
homesteaded upon by the former
owner, but he gave an order and deed
signed by himself, wife, and all of
his heirs. The late decision giving
parties who commence suit within six
months chance to recover their
property, sold and paid for, if said
property be homestead allotment
has aroused the passion of possession
within the breast of the former ow~
ner, and he comes forward with all
the purchase MONEY in his pocket, and
sues the county for the said poor
farm. Such an action without a
doubt shows more impudence than
we thought any southern man pos
sessed The citizenssare all justly
indignant at such proceedings, and
think that such an action in double
dealing and brazen impudence stands
without parallel in our state. O
course he cannot rec over what he has
no claim upon.
