I was in the Stump House on the night of

came in there soon aflej- and got into a muss
with Ring. I went out with Ring and the
citizens to see the fight. We went up the
street a short distance, and the civilians
backed out and would not fight. The
civilians then asked us to go up
a little further. We went up with
them until we came to this store Then
they asked us in to have a drink. We went
inside and tor>k our drinks. The citizens
weht out. Ring and myself were still
irnsidc. Just as the citizens went out of
the door there was a shot fired. Ring asked
the old man what he fired for. He eave
him no answer. We went outside then and
went up to the corner. There I met Sergt.
Waterhouse oatside the door. Some one
said he was shot. I did not hear him say
so. The citizens said let us go back. Soon
as-I heard that I told Waterhouse to come
with me and not go back for there would be
trouble. We and Waterhouse then went up
West Broad street afld went into Montgom

LETTitg PROM THE CAPITAL,,
[SpecialCorrespondence Savannah Herald-]
Mn.LtDOKVir.LK, Jan, 23, 18CG.
Editors Herald:
Legislation drags its slow length along.
Two of the most immirtant bills introduced
are the Homestead bill and the bill allowing
a conventional rate of,interest. The former
ot these grants to every person now owning
or who may hereafter own a home, Exemp
tion from the levy and sale of the same,
whcthei^tfiat home or dwelling be in the
country or ih the city, or whether its value
be five hundred or five thousand dollars.
The latter bill allows an interest of ten per
cent, to be collected if such a rate be agreed
ppon between the parties—but no higher
rale.
The Homestead- bill promises to afford
substantial relief to the people in a constitu
tional way; hut there are many obstacles
in the way of its perfection. Indeed it is
much to be feared that these obstacles wilt
prove insurmountable. The Senate thought
at one time thev had everything right with
regard to the bill. They agie d upon the re
port of the committee of the whole, and only
lacked oue other vote (which it would cer
tainly hive received) when suddenly some
fatal defect was discovered in it, and it was
re-referred to the Committee on the Judi
ciary who had already given it mature con
sideration. What is to Dj its fate-—whether
it will pass with amendment or be killed by
the over kindness of its friends, I am uuahlc
to say.
The interest bill recommended by Gov.
Jenkins in his message, met with little or no
opposition Indeed all the opi>osition mani
fested came from those who were in favor ot
abolishing all rates of interest on money
loaned, and holdiog parties bound to what
ever rates they might contract to give. Mr.
Owens of Chatham, made an able argument
in favor of abolishing all rates. He attempted
to show, and I think succeeded admirably in
the effort, that by throwing money into the
market the same as other commodities, the

IN AND OUT OF THE UNION.
The two conflicting theories of being at the
same jpae in and out of tbe Uoion is produc
ing si5#Lcontradictory propositions in Con
gress as to be a source of amnsenfent. Tbe
radical theory that by secession the Southern
States have voluntarily withdrawn from the
Union, leads of course to the logical conclu
sion that they are now mere dependencies—
that the law of nations and not Constitu
tional law applies to them—that they may
enter the-Union as California and other con
quered territory been me.a purt of the Ameri
can republic. If such be their condition, on
what ground can these radicals insist on
amendments of the constitution by three-
tourths of all tbe States, including tbe seceded
States, when, on their theory, the seceded
States no louger constitute a part of the Con
federacy ?
This is like the doctrine of nullification to
be iu tbe Union and out of it at the same
time?
