The monestond InM.

As this law now stands upon our
statute books, by the act Of December
10th, 1878, no person in this State can
claim the exemption Of his homestead
from forced sale unless his intention to
set up such claim is on record, the
same as a mortgage on his property.
The bill reported by the Judiciary
Committee to the present House of Dele.
gates proposes to do away with this
record, and to allow u man to set NJ his
claim to thousand dollars exemption
whenever his property becomes liable to
forced sale.
The bill was amended yesterday in II
way 10 practically leave the law as it
now stands. and in this shape it passed
to its engrosgment. We understand that
an effort will be made to-day to recon.
slider the vote by which the amended bill
was ordered to its engrossmcnt, with q
view 10 putting it through just as II came
from the Judiciary Committee.
We do hot look upon the bill as re.
ported from the committee "a particu.
larly Objectionable. 1t strikes blow at
the present credit system that we are
rather willing to see administered, and
makes personal character more and more
the basis OF credit. A law that exempts
$1,000 Of real estate and $500 of personal
property, puts every man in moderate
circumstances on his character when
he asks for credit. His creditor
knows that he can mol collect
his debt by law and therefore he is very
circumspect about granting credit.
Such oircumspection is for the good OF
creditor and debtor, and indirectly benc.
tits society in the long run. 1t puts bust.
ness into narrower and more Legitimate
channels. We are therefore inclined to
look with favor on the original bill.

WASHINGTON, February l2.-The Elec.
toral Commission was called to order at
4:S9 T. a.;and the certificates and accom-.
panying papers, in the case OF Louisiana,
were read by the presiding officer of the
joint session.
Upon the arrival OF the various coun.
sci, Messrs, Field, Campbell, Trumbull,
Carpenter, Merrick, Hoadley and Green,
for the Democratic side, and Messrs. Ev-
arts, Matthews, Shellabarger and Stough.
ton for the Republican side, the presiding
Justice inquired who would represent the
obiectors.
Mr.. Field responded that Senator Nc
Donald and Mr.. Jenks OF the House,
would appear as directors to certificates
numbers and 8.
Mr.. Eyarts announced that Howe OF
the Senate, and Shellabarger, would ap-
peal AS objectors 10 certificate number ..
The Commission adjourned until II A.
II. tomorrow.
WHY ILLINOIS WAS NOT OBJECTED TO.
Representative Springer had prepared
objections 10 counting OF the vote Of Geo.
D. Chafee, one Of Hayes electors OF IIli-
nois, on the ground that ChafIee was Com.
missioner Of the Circuit Court 'of the
United States within and for the Southern
District Of Illinois at the time OF his ap.
pointment as elector and Of his voting on
the 9th Of December. Springer was in
possession Of record evidence Of the fact
duly certified by the Court, and the FUR
ther certificate that Chafiee had not re-
signed and was still exercising the func.
tions Of the office. Springer was advised
that case equally as clear as Chaflee's
would be presented to the commission in
the Louisiana case, which would thus oh.
tain decision by the commission and
afterwards by the two houses. If objec.
tlons were filed to Chailee the commission
could not decide the case as there is only
one certificate from that State, besides
the Senate might refuse to sustain the
objections to Chafiee's vote and this re.
fusal might prejudice the decision in case
OF the Ineligible elector in Louisiana,
Hence Springer, with the advice and ap.
probation Of friends, withheld his objec.
tion to Chafiee's vote. 4.#
