NEW ORLEANS, FEBRuARY .. 1870.

Candidates for the constitutional oonven-
tion are coming out In all the country par
ishes. Baton Rouge. Ouaohita and East
Carroll already have several In the field. In
announcing their eandidature these gentle
men generally give their programme and the
changes they think cugat TO be made In the
constitution. The idea Is good one. as 1t en-
ables the people to vote directly on the con-
stitution by voting for men whose ideas they
fully comprehend.

Important Decision on the Homestead.

The case of Fannie q. White against
William E. Roach and Francis Arnold,
involving the construction of the 32d Sec
ton Of article of the State constitution,
in relation to homesteads, was filed yes
tefday morning. Messrs. Sloan and
Muller represented the plaintiff, and Mr..
Monteith represented the defendants.
The household furniture of the plain
tiff had been levied on for rent, and even
the bed she slept in taken from under
her, upon the theory that such furniture
was not exempt from levy and sale un-
der the homestead laws, because she was
not owner of real estate.
His Honor Judge Mackey charged as
matter of law that it was q great mistake
to suppose that the head of family could
not claim homestead in personal prop
erty unless he owned real estate. He
said that it was generally supposed that
the case of Duncan Us. Barret was so de-
cided, but that an examination OF that
case would show the contrary. That case.
he said, merely decided that the head OF
a family could not exempt agricultural
products from levy and sale as the annu-
al products of his homestead unless
he owned the land on which such agri-
cultural products were raised.
=. The trial of the case resulted In ver-
dict for the plaintiff for $3.50.
Upon the rendition of the verdict and
when the jury fee of one dollar was
handed to the jury, the jury, through
their foreman, Mr.. G. T. Berg, refused to
receive the dollar, and begged leave to
return it to the plaintiff, who had ap-
peared from the evidence TO be in
greatly impoverished condition.
His Honor remarked to the jury that
their conduct In returning the dollar
was as becoming to them as was the ver-
dict they had rendered.-C0lumbia Regis

Eighteen of the emigrants which left
Charleston in the Spring of 1878, in the
bark A=r, for Liberia, returned in the
Monroria some two weeks ago, landing in
New York, and from thence to South
Carolina by rail. Three hundred and
seventy emigrants started on the ASor for
Liberia, twenty-nine Of whom died on
the way. Some thirty or forty of 1.-The
number, as many as could command the
means, have returned to this country.
Ofthe three hundred and over remain
ing, there are now, after the lapse of
twenty months, only about sixty living.
Our readers will remember the great ex-
citement among the negroes in this
County some two OF, three years ago con-
cerning their emigration to San Domingo
and Liberia. Men, women and children
deserted their daily occupations and
gathered in vast numbers to hear adj
dresses from ignorant and bad men as to
the necessity Of their emigration and the
great abundance of everything they
could desire in these far off countries.
The sad fate of those who went to Libe-
ria should be sufficient warning to all
against schemes of designing men and
the advice of the ignorant.

On the Eve Of the Session.
COLUMBIA, November 24-9 P. NJ.

Later trains have brought many men,
bers of the General Assembly, and there is
now fair prospect of quorum in both
houses tomorrow. The representatives
from. the upper portion of the State are
nearly all here, but have seen none of the
Charleston delegation as yet. The general
sentiment appears to be Overwhelming in
favor of adjournment by the 23d of Decem-
Der, although few seem disposed to de-
preciate what they style fastening Of the
public business.
There is vague intimation that the
phosphate question will be brought up
again, but in what form or by whom is as
yet unknown. The probabilities of fight
over the convict farming are becoming
stronger. The subject will certainly be
brought up.
It is probable that an attempt will be
made, during the present session, to change
the existing laws regarding the collection OF
taxes, and revolutionize the present system
entirely. What success it will meet it is
impossible as yet to tell. One of the chan
ges proposed is the abolishment of the
office of County Auditor and devolving
the duties on the Treasurer, which vii, ne

THE EXODUS MovEMENT.-lPd Washington,
November 20.-The "Emigrant Aid Soclo-
ty' has issued from its headquarters in
this city an appeal to the philanthropic
people of the North for aid and sympathy
in helping the exodus of the colored peo-
pie Of the South. The document, which
Is somewhat lengthy, is of the most high
ly inflamed partisan character, retailing
the worn-out ISLANDERS against the white
people of the South, and painting the
present condition of the negroes as "worse
than slavery" 1t is stated that the soci-
ETY. Is devoting its attention to the matter
of organizing the westward movement
and giving it proper and intelligent di-
rection. The information Is conveyed
that it will require "ready money in con-
siderable quantity" to carry out the OBJ
jects of the society, and this the people
of the North are notified that they are ex-
pected to provide. 1t is stated that ma
tional advisory committee has been
formed, with Senator Window as chair
man, and composed of loading citizens OF
the various States and Territories. From
what has already transpired of the objects
and purposes of those who have been
prominent in fomenting the exodus it
Can be well surmised that the "proper
and Intelligent direction" which Is spok-
on of will be "dictreion" to localities
were political aims are to be subserved-
the State of Indiana, for instance.
Among the officers of the society through
whom whatever contributions that are
received from the North will be dispens-
ed are several persons, both white and
colored, who have long been known as
noted partisans of the Republican par

HOMESTEAD DECISION.

r. y
We call attention to an important de-
cision, published in another column, rem
dered by his Honor Judge Mackey on
the Homestead question. From this de-
cision it seems that heads of families who
do not own real estate are entitled to
their homestead exemption in person.
atty. In the case reported the jury
brought in verdict of $3.50 damages
against the defendants for levying an ex-
ecution on the personal property of a
poor woman who owned no real estate,
without first laying off her homestead in
personally. This is one of the strongest
cases for the plaintiff in execution, as the
debt due was for rent. This settles one
of the questions which has produced so
much dissatisfaction among the people
as to the injustice of the homestead law,
which it was supposed protected the
heads of families who owned real estate,
while those who did not were entitled to
no exemption. Under this decision,
which is unquestionably the law of the
case, the landowner and the non-land-
owner are equally protected. This de-
cision will give unanimous satisfaction.
