A Bit of History.

1t has been stated more than once
hat Governor LOWRY was in some way
to the one term theory. The
Rolling Fork Pilot puts it thus:
at was distinctly stated by Gov.
TUCKER in putting him Gov. LOWRY
In nomination in 1851, that LowRY's
name went before the convention on the |
one-term theory"
The Clarksdale Banner uses the fol.
lowing language:
"Gen. TUCKER in presenting his name
expressly avowed that Gov. LOWRY was
committed to the one term policy and
would not be candidate ut the expira-
ton of his term for a denomination.
We think that both Of our contempt
raries are mistaken as to what occurred
in the convention. According to our
recollection General TUCKER in placing
the name of Governor LOWRY before
the Convention INDUCED in an express
sion Of his own views as to certain ques-
tions of State policy. We believe that
he spoke in favor Of an elective judiciary
and against third term, though it may
be that he spoke against a second term.
However that may be, when he declared
himself in favor of an elective judiciary
he was interrupted by Col. REYNOLDS
with the question, docs your candidate
stand on that PLATFORM To which
General TUCKER replied that the con
vention had taken no action on the
matter. 1t is hard at this late day t.
recall the exact language used, but tn,
reply Of General TUCKER to Col. REY
NoLDs' inquiry was intended to conve,
and did convey the idea that Governo
LOWRY, stood upon the platform of tb,
Convention, whatever that might be.
We recollect, too, that General
TUCKER stated in the same connection
that Maj. BARKsDALE, of all the candi
dates, best represented the views he haC
expressed in putting Governor LowR,
in nomination.
But it matters not what Genera
TUCKER said, we hardly think it fair t,
hold his friends In the convention
responsible for his utterances. Tn
question of second term had not beel
discussed before the convention o
elsewhere; but there was Throughout tn
length and breadth of the State feelin
of opposition to a third term, and thi
feeling was so strong that nothing bu
the popularity OF Governor STONE save
him from an overwhelming defeat. Thi
, opposition to a third term, we comics:
. found expression in the nomination Q
4 Governor LOWRY, but opposition to
second term was not an issue, and coul
not have been under the circumstance.
Governor LOWRY was the nominee q
e a caucus composed of majority of tn
/. Convention, and in placing his nam
e before the Convention General TUCKE
s acted as the representative or agent Q
q the caucus. He was an agent with lin
tied powers, which he quickly recogni
zed when Col. REYNOLDS inquiry Gale
- his attention to the danger that tn
e expression Of his own views might b
{ taken as the expression of the views Q
> the caucus. Then it was that he di'
claimed authority to speak for his non
inee.

Defeat of the Grant Bill.

We note in the Congressional Record
that the bill to take Ex-President Grant
from private life, and to put him into
the Office of General of the Army created
expressly for his benefit, with pay and
emoluments amounting to about SIS, O0C
a year, was defeated in the House on the
18th. 1t was supported by the Republic
cans, and limited number of Northen
and Southern Democrats, and wal
opposed by the Democrats of both sec
tons generally. The Democratic mem
bers from Mississippi all opposed it. II
Is reported that Mr.. RANDALL intends
to make another effort to pass the bill
but the impression is that it has receiv
ed its quietus, at least for the present.

JOSEPH G. MAcKIN, VIM. ]. GALA
CHER and ARTHUR GLEASON were con-
victed in the United States Court at
Chicago on the 2lst, of the charge of
conspiracy to affect the result of the
election for Congressman from the
Fourth Illinois District. While it is
doubtless true that the defendants lamp
pered with the ballots, we have all along
thought that their object was to change
the result of the ballot for State Senator

N. A. DEEs and WIFE
From the Chancery Court of Jackson
county. S. Evans, Chancellor.
Homestead Money or credit obtained 6y
sale Of same not exempt.
CAMPBELL, G. j.:
Appellants had judgment in the cir.
cult court against Dees, and he was very
careful to keep within the limits of the
exemption laws. He had a residence
which cost him $4,000, but it was as
sessed, as homesteads always are, at less
than $4,000. He sold it to Mr.. Cudabac,
his brother-in law, for 81 800 took note
for the amount; and moved into a house
belonging to his wife. Cudabac after
wards becoming involved, it was agreed
that be should convey the props rty to
Mrs. Dees, and that Dees should surren-
der the note, which was accordingly
done. Adams q Co. then filed their
bill to subject the property to their iudg
ment. On final hearing, the bill was
dismissed, and an appeal was taken to
this court.
The exemption of homestead from
execution is by statute, and exists only
in accordance with the statute. There

the money or credits obtained by vol
untary sale of the homestead. He who
seeks the protection of the exemption
law must keep what it exempts, or sell
it for money to which the sheriff can
not obtain access, or invest the proceeds
in another homestead or in chattels
which are exempt. The note of Cuda-
bac to Dees was not exempt 1t was
subject to garnishnent, and its surren-
der for conveyance to Mrs. Dees did
not vest the title of the fermer home
stead in her, free from the demands of
his creditors. Dees had voluntarily
withdrawn his homestead from the pro-
lection the law gave to him in its enioy-
ment as such, and had no right to give
to his wife the chose IN action which the
law made liable to his debts. His ideas
as to the law, and his purposes and in
tentions in the matter, did not prevent
the legal result of his voluntary expos
ure of his effects to the pursuit of his
creditors. Decree reversed and cause re.

Names in Novels,

Court Journal.
What curious mistakes female novel
lists sometimes fall into with regard to the
naming Of their characters. A female
novelist once took all her names out OF d
subscription list int provincial paper. In
the course OF time the novel drifted into
that particular part Of the country, and
when it was therein written that the
banker had lidison with the Methodist
minister's wife, that the respectable law
yer had had seven years penal servitude
in his youth, that the proprietor Of the
most rowdy public house in the town had
been in the Balaklava charge, that the
chief cheese.lnonger was the illegitimate
son OF duke, and that the consumptive
ritualist curate had wound up London
career OF hideous crime by MODELLING the
Derby favorite, why the words that We
have at our command are not strong
enoughto express o title Of the sensation
that was caused.
