Hon. 11.I 1 . Walsh, writing to his paper,
the Chronicle & Sentinel, from Colum
bia, advocates the buildingof tne Angus
ta & Hartwell RR. That would have
done very well two or three years ago,
when Augusta, the main stay of the
road, was not involved iu her canal and
her perpetual mayor ; but the chances
for the completion of that road are now
very remote, indeed.
Col. G. W. of the Chronicle & Senti
nel, has been tripped up by the Consti
tutionalist for using quotations without
those little marks which show the ideas
are borrowed. The Col. comes out like
a little man, however, and said it w r as
the Grand Jury of Elbert county who
ought to shoulder the responsibility.
L ; ke Gen. G. W. he will not tell a lie.
Little quotation marks are troublesome
things, but it’s cheaper to use them —in
the end.
LATE HOMESTEAD DECISION OE GEOR
GIA SUPREME COURT.
Simmons vs. Anderson. Homestead,
from Monroe.
W AENEH, C. J.
This was a claim cause, which was sub
mitted to the decision of the court,
without the invention of a jury, on
the following agreed statement of facts,
“that the defendent in fi fa, James M.
Simmons, on the 27th day of March,
1873, executed to the plaintiff, W. W.
Anderson, a mortgage upon one hundred
acres of land; that said instrument was
signed, sealed and delivered with all the
solemnity neceessary under the law, and
is in all respects a valid mortgage; that
in said instrument, the said Simmons
waived for himself and family, all right
to a homestead, to or out of said bar
gained and described premises; that
said mortgage has been forelosed, and
fi fa issued against the defendant, and
levied on said land; that the defendant,
as the head of a family, has since said
forclosure and levy of said fi fa, applied
for, and obtained a homestead on said
land according to the requirement of
the law, and has, as agent for his wife,
filed his claim thereto.” Upon this state
ment of facts the court decided that the
land was subject to thej mortgage fi fa
levied thereon; whereupon the claimant
excepted.
The only question made here on the
foregomg statement of facts, was wheth
er Simmons, the defendant in the mort
gage fi fa, could waive his right, as the
head of a family, to claim a homestead
in the property described in the mort
gage, so as to prevent him from after
wards obtaining a homestead on the
spcific property mortgaged, and to claim
the same as a homestead exemption as the
agent of his wife, from being subject to
that mortgago fi fa. The 1753 section of
thp Code declares that in this State, tho
husband is tho head of the family, and
the wife is subject to him; her legal civil
einstance is merged in the husband, ex
cept so far as the law recognizes her sep
arately, either for her own .protection, or
for'her benefit or for the preservation of
public order.” The constitution of 1868
declares, that each head of a family, or
guardian or trustee of a family of minor
children, shall be entitled to a homestead
of realty to the value of two thousand
dollars in specie, &c., which, when set
apart, is exempt from levy and sale, ex
cept for taxes, money borrowed and
expended in the improvement of the
homestead, or for the purchase money
of the same, and for labor done thereon,
or material furnished therefor or re
moval of incumbrances thereon. When
the constitution declares that each head
of a family shall bo entitled to a home
stead in realty to the value of two thou
sand dollars in specie, it was not intend
ed that it should bo compulsory on each
head of a family to take out a home
stead in his land, whether he desired to
do so orhnot. The obvious and fair con
struction of this clause of the consti
tution is, that each head of a family
should be entitled to a homestead as
therein provided, if he desired to have
one, and not otherwise. When Mr. Sim
mons borrowed the money and executed
his mortgage deed to secure its payment,
ho stipulated under his hand and seal,
that he waived for himself and family,
all light to a homestead in the mort
gaged premises, in other words, he de
clared that, as the head of a family, he
did not desire to have a homestead on
that land so mortgaged by him. As
the head of his family, and owner of the
laud, ‘ho could have made an absolute
sale of it, and thus have defeated all
claims of his family to a homestead on
tho laud. Why as the head of his fam
ily and owner of the land, could he not
stipulate that he would not claim a home
stead on it, the more especially if he did
not desire to have cue? Besides, it
does not appear from the record in this
case, but that the defendant, Simmons,
had plenty of other land than that mort
gaged, on which he could have taken a
homestead exemption as the head of a
family. The obtaining and claiming a
nomestead exemption in the mortgaged
property by Mr. Simmons, as the agent
of his wife, after stipulating in the mort
gage, as the head of his family, that he
waived for himself and family, all right
to a homestead in the mortgaged
premises, does not, wo regret to say,
exhibit a very high standard of cither
his legal or moral obligation to pay au
honest debt. In view of the facts as dis
closed in the record we affirm the iudg
ment of the court below.
Judgment affirmed.
Hammond & Berner, for plaintiff in
error.
J. S. Pinckard, for defendant.
No little excitement was caused in our
town on Monday, by the action of the
To\yu Council in ordering the Marshal
to arrest all vagrants, irrespective of
creed or color. A goodly number, both
\vhite aud black, were arrested.

OUR WASUiNGTONT LETTER,
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, D. C., March 27, 1876.
Marsh, the much abused and long desired
witness has returned from Canada, lie arrived
on Wednesday and has been before the Judicia
ry Committee. He does not seem entirely as
sured of his safety, for in giving his testimony
he is restless and uneasy. This is tho result of
the action ot President Grant and Attorney
General Pierrepont. Marsh says that Mi. Clymer
did not tell him to go away, and that he had no
intention of leaving the country when he lett
Washington. So that it appears that all the
abuse heaped on Mr. Clymer tor Marsh’s disap
pearance is mere radical venom. Mrs. Marsh
has also testified and there is such a chain of
evidence from a cloud of witnesses testifying to
substantially the same facts, that the conviction
of Belknap is assured. The committee, it is
said, will report the articles of impeachment on
Wednesday.
Ex Senator Stewart’s testimony befora the
committee on foreign affairs in regard to the
Emma Mine swindle, is the most amusing and
interesting ever given since Sam Weller testified
in the great case of Bardell vs. Pick-Wick (see
Charles Dickens report). The ex-Senator clothes
hir answers in useless verbiage, that v, ould re
quire the ingenuity ot one of the proverbial
“Philadelphia lawyers” to discover the meaning.
He evidently believes with Talleyrand “that
words wore invented to conceal thoughts.” Ex-
Minister Schenk is here, but up to to-day has
beeu (so he says) too unwell to appear before
the committee.
The kitchen Cabinet organs have delighted in
harping cn what they call the want of action in
the House, yet they say nothing about an act
which originated iu a Republican Senate a few
days ago, and which for utter stupidity, im
practicabilty aud want of statesmanship has not
had its pariailel since the session began. I
allude to the bill of Senator Hamlin regulating
the transmission of third class mail matter. Jt
will be remembered what a faux-pas, the same
gentleman made last session when he raised the
rate on that species of matter from one to two
cents per ounce. He now proposes a sliding
scale, making the price of this class of matter
depend upon the distance it is carried, and tin
post master is to be judge of the price. If
adopted, such a law could only result in total
confusion, besides offering additional induce
ments and opportunities to postmasters to steal.
Every newspaper in the country is condemning
the proposed law, and its author’s name will be
handed down as the champion blunderer of the
times. Our post office must be wretchedly
managed as tln-re is a deficiancy of ten million
dollars.
It is expected that the Patent Office will soon
receive the attention of a committee. It seems
to be admitted that no reduction should be made
in the force in this office, or in the pay ot the
clerks, because the office is more than se.f-sus
tainiug, and the employees have to be skilled
men who are entitled to good salaries. The
Work of the committee will be to discover what
disposition is made of the large surplus every
year. It is thought that inteiesting develop
ments, of money paid to outside parties, will be
made. The law requires that each department
or bureau shall publish each year an exact
statement, giving the name of each employee,
and the amounts, paid to each, together with
other expenses incurred. This has not been
done in the Patent Office since 1861, and there
is probably “a large sized bug under that chip ”
Senator Colliding has violated another law by
appearing before the appeal board of the Patent
office and arguing a case _ot interference be
tween patentees. Of course the Senator, whose
bare word would dismiss any member of the
board, gained the case.
The insolence of Blaine as the Republican
leader in the House has become almost unbear
able, and it received a wholesome check on
Thursday from Mr. Yatman of North Carolina,
who deprecated the continual use of the term
“rebel” to designate Southern men in the Con
federate army He claimed for bin-self and his
Southern compatriots as much patriotism and
love ot the Union as was to be found among the
Republicans. lie showed that no sooner did a
Southern man become a Republican as Holden
of North Carolina, and Longstrect had done,
that at once they were no longer rebels, all taint
being removed, and that the only reason for the
use of this term was that the people of the
South would not accept the teachings of repub
licanism. In other words they were “rebels,”
against Republican domination and not against
the country.
Nothing of interest has occurred in either
House; The legislative appropriation bill is
being discussed and will be passed as reported.
The Senate will not agree to it and a grand
fight may be expected Reno.

“0 wad some power the gift to gi’e us,
To see oursel’s as ithers see us.”
Behold that pale, emaciated figure, with down
cast eye, like some criminal about to meet her
fate ! See that nervous, distrustful look as she
walks along with a slow and unsteady step. The
pink has left her cheeks and the cherry her iips.
The once sparkling, dancing eyes are now dull
and expressionless. The once warm, dimpled
hands are now thin and cold. Her beauty has
fled. What has wrought this wouderous change?
71111x1 is that which is lurking beneath the sur
face oi that once lovely form? Does she real
ize her terrible condition ? Is she aware of the
woeful appearance she makes ? Woman from
her very nature, is subject to a cataloge of dis
eases from which man is entirely exempt. Many
of these maladies arc induced by her own care
lessness, or through [ignorance of the laws of
her being. Again, many Female Diseases, it
properly treated, might be arrested in tneir
course, and thereby prove of short duration.
They should not be left to an inexperienced phy
siciauwho does not understand their nature, and
is, therefore, incompetent to treat them. The
importance of attending to Female Diseases in
their earlies stages cannot be too strongly urged.
For if neglected, they frequently lead to Con
sumption, Chronic Debility, and oftentimes to
Insanity. In all classes of Female Di eases, Dr,
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is without a rival.
No me.ieine has ever surpassed it. In “The
People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,” of
which R. Y. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., is
the author and publisher, is an extended treatise
on Woman ami her Diseases. Under this head,
the various affections to which woman is inci
dent are carefully considered, accurately portray
ed, and restorative course of treatment suggest
ed. Every woman, as she values her life and
health, should possess a copy of this valuable
book. If she be diseased, this “Adviser” will
show her bow she may be restored to health,
and also direct her how she may ward oft' many
maladies to which she is constancy being ex
posed. Let every suffering woman heed this
timely advice and see herself as others see her.

HART COUNTY DEPARTMENT.!
BY OTJR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
HARTWELL, :::::: :: : : April 3,187 G.
Our new saw mill is getting regularly
down at work, after the many drawbacks,
incident to the starting of new machin
ery. May it have plenty of work.
Dullness.
As usual in small places, everything
lias an aspect of dullness in town now,
at this season of the year. Before long,
however, the Spring goods will be com
ing in, when a revival of business will
take place. Tho quiet appears greater
after courtweek.
A Long-bill Bird,
Dr. A. J. Mathews, a few few days
ago, killed in Hartwell a bird called a
curlew, whose bill, by active measure
ment, is eight inches long. The bird is
about twice as long as a partridge, ar.d
belongs to the coast, Lom which we
suppose it was blown by the recent
winds.
Bad Weather.
The farmers of Hart are naturally
complaining of the lateness of planting
by bad weather. The corn that was
planted before the recent snow and cold
spell, many fear will come to naught,
while the most of the vegetables have
been entirely killed.
Tno peach crop will bo almost an en
tire failure, but we may find solace in the
apples and grapes.
Providence has always cared for us to
this time, and we need not fear its pro
tection for the future, however unprom
ising the outlook may appear.{
We have had a vast amount of rain
lately, so much that we have almost be
come amphibious.
Spring attempts occasionally to return,
when old Boreas protests with all his
monstrous power, and we are obliged
to submit.
