This il assailed a. being iiliiaieal

"The laborer IL worthy Of biz hire
and he il made sure Of il by ills
section. Nothingis exempt from
his demand. For Il he may have
sold everything his employer has.
The exemption law shall not serYe
as shield to protect the hifef
from the payment Of the wages 81
the laborer who has served him.
Prior to the adoptienoft this SEC.
ton a large portion Of tie people
of this State were not able 10 gire
bail, because among All their
friends none could comply With
the requirement of the Law. and
swear that they were worth any.
thing above what the law exempt.
cd from execution. This section
greatly increases the ability Of the
poor to give bail and avoid jail
whereby they are enabled to pur
sue their ordinary industry and tht
public is saved from feeding then
in jail; for now any man, no M
ter how poor, il good bail forwhai
he is worth, and is not hinderet
from standing for his friend, aht
saving him from Jail. Before thil
law many poor colored man wai
unable to give bail until he h.s
sold his liberty for a time to som,
one rich enough TO be worth thl
amount of the bailbond lover ans
above the exemption" Now thi
obstacle to the poor becoming bssi
for their poor friends is removes
by the section quoted above. b
declaring that nothing shall be FL
empt, "when the process is fOi
rent the way is made clear e.
the humblest to rent as he msl
need. Without this provision Til
landlord would require prepay
ment or security for rent from suel
as had not property besides tbs
exempt from execution, and ihi
demand could not be met by mani
a poor person for want of the mon
ey or friend who would he ag
cepted as security. Under ihi
law everybody is good for rent
and no one is so poor as not 10 b
able to rent what he desires. 10
his few articles of household nc
cessity are ample security for
months rent of the humble tenC
ment the village tenant may desiI

ton. He who has property. ht
sides what is exempt, would undC
no state of the law have any dif
Guilty in renting, because his prof.
erty not exempt would serve 9
security, aud the landlord woul
want no other, but the poor unfel
tunate, who has nothing but WIS
was exempt, could not obtain wAa
he wanted, without paying N q
vance or securing the rent. BY u
present law the person who has .
title is pnt on an equality with u
opulent, so far as relates 70 q
tanning a home equal to his neSe'
sities, for al that he has is by thi
law made to serve him by hein
security for this particular 'hlni
and now every one can rent.
We're this not the law the Ian,
lord would require security, as Y
merchant does, of those who AZ
not possessed of more than tue Ia
exempts. All who desire to o.

to secure them, as they may 7
uuire. The merchant who regard
his customer as good Tor h
debts,s demands of him no seenr

of houses ald lands orent. Il u
tenant is good for the rent, that
sufficient. No moro is require
