FAMINE IN EGYPT.
Fearful Distress in the Upper Nile Valley.

LONDON, March 26.-Correspondenc ofthe
Times, dated at Arment, Upper Egypt, Feb.
ruary -, gives a heartrending account Of the
condition OF the population OF the Nile valley.
The scenes described resemble those in India
during the recent famine. In some of the
villages the people are past help, sitting na g.
ked, like wild beasts, eating roots and suffer.
ing with the endurance Of despair. The mad.
ness worked on by famine stamps such A
brand on the starving fellahs as cannot be
easily described. In one town women and
children fought over scraps of bread like wild
animals. The case is believed to be still
worse in the inland hamlets, where the villa.
gers are said to be starving like dogs.
The Times, in an editorial article comment.
ing on the letter Of its correspondent at Ar
ment, Upper Egypt, describing the condition
oil the iamine-strlcken population Of the Nile
valley, says: This state Of affairs is imme.
diately ascribed TO last year foundations and
the failure Of the wheat crop, but the real
cause lies in the permanent helplessness of
the iellah's condition. He is so mercilessly
taxed that he is forced to live from hand 10
mouth, and Il is impossible for him to make
any preparation against the day Of temporary
aeed, while he is so oppressed with work and
so reduced by insufficient food as to lose NIL
hope and energy, aud all power of physical or
moral resistance. The sole and simple cause
of their misery is TO be found in their crush
ing taxation, and in the injustice with which
It is extorted from them. And to whit il
this due7 Simply to the necessity Of meeting
the financial demands required by the expen.
ditures Of the Khedive and his government.
Matters have now reached such a pass that
every turn Of the screw by which the payment
OF a coupon is forced from the Kheiiye, in
spite Of deficient revenue, represents another
pang Of torture inflicted on the unhappy fell
labs. There is no reason for thinking the
condition Of Egypt desperate. Good govern.
ment would in moderate time restore the
eountryt to fairly prosperous condition. But
there is great reason to believe that for the
present the English and French creditors
must consent to iorego their full rights. To
insist on those rights might prove shortsighted
for their own interests as well as cruel to the
fellahs, aud It will be the duty of our govern.
ment to look to the permanent welfare Of the
Egyptian people in the first instance rather
than to the immediate claims Of the bond
holders

KennsdY,s Appeal.

Below will be found the case Of Kennedy
vs.. LANCE which we published several weeks
ago, and VIC reprint in this issue, for the rea-
son thatthere isndfiesence Of opinion as to the
point decided. 1t ia held by some that under
this decision the wiles properly is not subject
TO distraiut for rent due aud in arrears by the
husband. opinionl the Court Of Appeals
does not even intimate US to how they would
decide the question if brought before them,
and very eleyerly pass the delicate question
by asserting that in this case "the husband was
not the tenant of the appellee, nor 10 any wise
indebted to him. The wifeis property was
not taken for the debts Of the husband, but
was seized by the landlord for rent in arrears
aud due by his tenant.
ANNIE KENNEDY VS.. ROBERT LANCE.
Opinion By Judge kilier.--The record in
this case shows that one Bartlett rented a
dwelling house from the appellee, LANCE, and
the rent being due and in arredr, the landlord
dlstrained upon "a piano and certain articles
OF household furniture found in the house.
The ehattels so seized were the sole and sep.
arate property Of Annie Kennedy, wife OF
Samuel A. Kennedy, and she has brought
an action OF repleyin to recover the same.
II is well settled that landlord may dis.
train for rent due and in arrears, any good,
hlAN putty iDuuu un inc utuliseu preml'
ses unless they are specially exempted from
seizure by statute; and 1t is conceded there i,
no statutory exemption for such property as
was seized in this case. 1t has, however
been seriously argued that the provisions O
tge Constitution Cart. 3, See. 49, which de
clares that the property Of a wife shall be
protected from the debt of her husband" pre-
vented the landlord from levying this distress
upon the appellants furniture. But it is onl,
necessary to say in answer to this argument
that IN this case the husband was not the ten
ant OF the appellee, nor in any wise indebted
to him. The wife's property was not taker
for the debts of her husband, but was seize,
! BY the landlord for rent in arrears and du,
by his tenant Bartlett, and was so taken sim
ply because IT was on the demised premises
when the distraint was made. There is NJ
error in the ruling of the City Court and III,
Judgment must be affirmed.
