As MOST people seem to "be at sea- as to
what is and what is not exempt from ex-
ecuton and sale for debt, somebody will
probably thank us for the following infor-
nation on that head:
Under the laws of Illinois, every house
holder having a family, is entitled to an
estate or homestead of the value of 81 900
in the farm or lot or buildings thereon,
owned and possessed by him or her, and &C.
cupied as residence. Such homestead and
all right and title therein, is exempted from
attachment, judgment, levy or execution
sale for payment Of debts, etc. Except
that no property is exempt for the non. pay
mcnt of taxes or assessments, or for debt
incurred for the purchase or improvement
Of the same The following personal prop
erty is also exempt; 1st, the necessary wear
ing apparel, bibles, school books and fam
lily pictures Of every person, and End, 500
worth of other property to be select
ed by the owner, and, in addition, when
the owner is the head of the family and re-
sides with the same, $500 dollars worth of
property to be selected by him. provided
such selection is not made from any money,
salary or wages due from any person what
ever. But no personal property is exempt
ed from attachment or execution when the
debt is found to be for wages of a laborer
or a servant, and is so expressed upon the
records Of the court rendering such judg-
ment, and is indorscd upon the execution
when issued.

THE editor of the Sparta Plaindealcr is a
philosopher. He says that hard times must
be overcome by farmers by hard work,
hard study in leisure hours, hard thinking
and calculating, hard economy. There is
no use whining crying, complaining. 1t
will bring no relief "Heavcn helps those
who help themselves" If one is in the
mire, he must get on to hard, solid ground
as soon as possible. Spend less than you
earn. If in debt so much as to give great
trouble, make some arrangement with your
creditors that will be satisfactory all around
or throw up the sponge and begin again
If you see no chance to get out of debt
this is the best way A load OF debt is the
heaviest load man can carry. 1t kills
mind and body. 1t makes a brave man a
coward. 1t stiles all aspirations, all hope.
Get out of its clutches, and forever keep
out, if possible.

SENATOR Bayard stood stoutly by the
president in his contest with Conkling and
felt throb of anticipatory pleasure, no
doubt, IN Conkling's discontinue. Toh
Senate has now declared that the president
has the undoubted right to make arbitrary
removals from office, and that the Senate
can only inquire into the character Of Il C
new appointces. Bayard, anticipating that
he may, as the standard bearer of the Dem
ocracy, succeed Hayes reads this record
with pleasure.

SITTING Bull hates the people of the
United States quite as heartily as Oglcsby
hates Logan. He still lives in Canada,
about twenty miles from the United States
boundary and swcars that he will never cross
the line again, unless he can come backed
by arms and men enough to wreak revenge
for the accumulated wrongs his people are
suffering. A scout who recently reached
Deadwood reports that his few followers
are on this side of the line, quite starved,
and willing to capitulate on any terms for
the sake Of getting food. The red devils
who, during seasons OF plenty, burned
stacks and cribs of grain and slaughtered
cattle through pure fiendishness are now
willing to sell what, from an Indian stand
point, is their manhood, for enough of corn
and beet to keep their souls from skipping
out of their gaunt bodies. There is moth
ing like hunger to tame the savage. With
food at hand to be used or wasted, they are
incarnate devils. Destitute of food and
hungry, they are docile as lambs, and as
tractable as so many oxen.

THERE are forty thousand names on the
pension list, and in no probable event will
the list be increased to fifty thousand. The
highest estimate yet made of the amount
that will 90 to each pensioner under the
arrearage pension law, is six hun
dred dollars. Hence the amount OF money
that will be taken from the treasury to pay
the arearages vii! not reach $50, 100000 nor
the half oft. less than thirty millions
will pay every dollar that can be justly or
reasonably claimed. Nearly or quite six
times that sum is lying idle in the treasury
vaults, and if we except the thirty or forty
millions that Sherman's First National
Bank, of New York, is using, not dollar
of it is employed to the advantage of any
body. But pay out S25,OOO,0OO or $50
100000, as is proposed under the arrearage
pension law, and see the result Inc
money will 90 into the hands of poor men
and poor families; nine-tenths of it will be
put in circulation in less than twelve
month-will 90 into the hands of our mer-
chants and professional men, and give to
our business and to all our productive in
dustries, an impulse that has not been felt
for many years, Such distribution of the
boarded money of the government is one
of the needs of the times; and il made the
effect will Immediately be seen in revival
of trade and business all over the country.

The more intelligent Indians resident of
the Indian Territory have joined in re-
monstrancc against the bill pending in the
United States Senate, providing for the APP
pointment Of a delegate to represent that
Territory in the House. They avow them
selves contented with their present form of
government, find it productive of good
order, and their people, the remonstrants
say, look with dread to the results of new
forms and new customs. But there is
another side to this question. BY conced-
ing delegate to these well behaved and
contcnted Indians, we introduce among
them the blessings Of American politics.
We furnish their native politicians chance
ito go to Washington once or twice'a year,
and, as the New York Herald. says, send
back refreshing showers Of "pub. docs"
and Congressional Globes to tertilizc the
aboriginal mind, furnish curl papers for all
the straightforward DANES in the territory
and kite tails for all the boys. He could

of every new and pleasing beverage the
basis of which is alcohol. In the use of
proianc language, which is Of such inesti
mable comfort to the native tongue, he
could become an elcctic, giving Of his store
unto those whose representative he would be.
Numberlcss other blessings would be within
his gift, and some day he might chance to
die and have his remains escorted home by a
committee Of the House IN which case the
half-civilized residents of the Territory
would enjoy the incstimably refining and
ennobling spectacle of grief as rendered
officially. And yet the Indians want no
delegates. Out on such wild stupidity !
Let these people be managed with a strong
and resolute hand. Make Grant president
and send the troops among them. If they
are still headstrong and obstrcperous, give
'em taste of the mercy accorded to the

WASHINGTON NOTES.
(From our Regular correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, February A, 1870.

III II year or TWO every Dcho'i"' III VIZ
country will be wondering why the Dem
ocratic house of the toriy-iitth congress did
not insist on a large reduction in govern
ment expenses The army might have
been properly cut down, and the navy.
Our foreign relations cost double what
they should, In all the departments are
countless superiuous employees, besides
thousands of overpad ones, and separate
bureaus which were never necessary or
were necessary only during and just after
the war, Every Democratic congressman
Of two years experience knows this. Yet,
though our revenues are falling of, and
the inevitable result must be the imposi-
ton Of new burdens upon the people at the
first session of the Democratic forty.sixth
congress, the Democratic house has so
far hardly intimated desire for retrench-
ment Democrats in congress to-day are
digging their own graves and the graves of
future Democrats. There is time even in the
three weeks remaining of the session. Many
appropriation bills are still under control of
the house. Many schemes involving the
useless payment of money are yet to be
acted on. The house cannot do all it should
have done at this session, but it can do
much.
Senator Conkling was yesterday badly
beaten in his fight with the administration
on the New York custom house appoint
ments. The result is largely due to a speech
of Senator Bayard, favoring confirmation.
This admirable senator's influence is, as it
should be, very great, and has not been
more conspicuously etfectual IN any case
than this. The quarrel was disgraceful
one. Manifestly the efforts of the admis-
tration were to change the direction of po-
litical support in the custom house, and not
to do away with it. Just as certainly Sen
atOr Conkling fought for continued control
of that influence, and for personal friends.
There never was an atom of principle in
volved
There has been, in the last week, deal of
nonsense uttered in the house on the object
Of southern or way claims. There are thou
sands of claims now filed here, which, were
filed and have been completed at great ex-
pense under the provision OF law extend
ing what is called the southern claim COM
mission" until 1880. 1t is now proposed
to repeal the law extending the time OF that
commission. The question whether or not
that ought to be done is entirely seperate
from the question as to the original policy
of paying the claims. The claimants
meet with certain losses. The government
promised to pay those losses if proper proof
was made before 1880 The proof has been
and is being made. How the government
can honorably escape payment in such case
it cannot see. 1t may properly, perhaps,
refuse to consider claims filed after 1880.
To-day, or as soon as he can get the floor
for the purpose, Senator Morrill, will call up
the senate bill providing for the taking OF
the next census. 1t is to be hoped that the
two houses will agree upon some measure
