AILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST 24, 1877. THE CONVENTION. proceedings WEDNESDA 7. IVAIVINO THE HOMESTEAD— SECTION THREE RECONSIDERED—A WARM DISCUSSION— THE MEN AND WOMEN CP GEORGIA—A LOAN O* TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AF FECTED. Special to the Ohronlole and Constitutionalist.] Atlanta, August 22.—The Convention met in the Capitol at half-past eight o'clock this morning, the Vice President, Gen. A. R. Lawton, in the Chair. WAIVING THE HOMESTEAD. Mr. Harrell, of the Twelfth District, moved to reconsider section three of the homestead. He was content for the sec tion to stand, if the Convention provided for the manner of waiving. You provide, he said, that a man can set apart a home stead for his wife and jet that man may, in a drunken spree, waive every particle without consulting his wife. It is the germ of evil in the Constitution. It will ruin homes and bear pestilence upon its wing like a south wind in the Orient. If you will have a waiver to strike down your credit let it be an honest one, and one in which the wife has a part. Mr. Toombs, of the Twenty-ninth Dis trict, said great difference of opinion re sulted from different conditions of the people. This was not a question of debtor or oreditor; it is a question of sooiety, for life, liberty and dower. It must pro tect families, not on their own aocount, but in the interests of sooiety. You now propose to turn away your wives and daughters upon the highways and make them waifs. This is not the road to vir tue. A part of the land should be set apart saored to virtue and to sooiety. It is the doty of man to stand by his fellow- man and by his family. It is a beautiful thought that it is “not all of life to live,” nor is it all of life to live and make mon ey. A man should provide for the happi ness of those around him. We must pre serve a home for the homeless without cheating creditors. We must say it is sa ored to human happiness, and shall not be bothered by avarice, nor by cunning, nor by villainy. I want a good and hon est hpmestead, wbioh is protective and hurts no one. I want one moderate, in fee simple and inalienable. The creditor wishes to go to the debtor and say: “I will lend you money at twenty or thirty per cent., and wring your laud from you and your helpless ones.” I forbid this in the name truth ; I forbid it in the name of justice; I forbid it in the name of Eternal Heaven. Mr. Guerrard, of the First District, be lieved that the men of Georgia had just as much virtue and self-restraint as any others. Men are able to manage their own things. For the sake of both sexes I hope that, while ceding to women that whioh is theirs, we will not take from man that whioh is his. A man should have the right to waive his own homestead in or der to accumulate wealth for his family. Mr. Respass,of the Thirteenth District, thought that the man was the head of the family, and ought to have the right to manage and waive his property. Mr. Tumlin, of the Thirty-eighth Dis trict, said such solid talk routed all this sentimental nonsense. Rights belong to men. These large homesteads are build ing up rich men at the expense of the poor. He moved to table the motion to reconsider. Lost by a vote of 80 to 91. RECONSIDERATION. The motion to reconsider was carried by a vote of 87 to 85. Mr. McDonald, of the Fifth Distriot, moved to reconsider his amendment to section five, relative to allowing parties to take the honest debtors act in lieu of the present homestead. Mr. Hansel?, of the Seventh District, said this act was not repealed by the home stead of 18C8, and in my county is more used than the other homestead. Recon sideration was carried. Mr. Grier, of the Twenty-first Distriot, moved to reconsider the tabling of the amendment appointing three freeholders to set apart the homestead. Carried. PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS. Mr. Hammond, of the Thirty-fifth Dis triot, gave notice that to-morrow he would move to take up the public institutions report. Messrs. Trammell and Orane thonght matters of bureaux and chain gangs statu tory, and the Convention had no right to deal with them. * Mr. Wofford, of the Forty-second Dis triot, thought these were subjects of in terest to the people of Georgia, and the Convention should not decline to consider them. The Convention declined for the present to consider them, and it is ques tionable whether they will at all. A REPORT TABLED. The Committee on Rules advise that in revising the Constitution no amendment altering the sense or changing the mean ing of a word bo considered, save by consent ot a two thirds vote. The Convention, however, mAy strike out paragraphs conflicting. The report was tabled. SENTIMENTAL OB PRACTICAL. Mr. Paul Hudson, of the Twenty-ninth District, discussing waivers, said the question was one of practicality and not a sentimental one. Every husband in the land has supreme control over his prop erty until he takes the homestead. Wo men are entitled to a separate estate and rights of dower, and not to husbands. The Convention recognizes the right of waiver. Let this be done as an organic principle, and allow the Legislature to declare how it shall be done. He hoped the Convention would not thus go into statutory legislation. Why incorporate the wife’s consent here ? Every man has control over his wife's opinion, and cau honestly or dishonestly obtain her signa ture. It will also spring litigation and disturb the sacredness of the marital rela tion itself. Mr. Wright, of the JTorty-Becond Dis trict, hoped that the invention distin guished between the sentimental point of the gentleman from Wilkes and the prac tical point of his young friend from Mc Duffie. I propose, he said, to bring the house to a direct vote, so that an improvi dent husband cannot alienate the home stead, cannot, like Esau, sell his birth right for a mess of pottage. A home for the family is God’s gift to man, and gov ernment ought not to deprive him of it. Don’t force him, in his inevitable ruin, to curse the God which made him and the law which ought to protect him. Mr. Mynatt, of the Thirty-fifth Dis trict, thought instances were exceptions. Why lock up the entire property of the ountry becanso here and there are im- rovident men? We are now proposing degrade him below his manhood, and urthermore, make of him a dishonest an. Mr. Harrell, of the Twelfth District, ought if seotion third should be stripped f the necessity of the wife’s consent this - J , aU( * and cheat upon the women i. nd j d ren of the land. What good oes it do the women and children if they re not to be consulted in relinquishing elr ”8^*8? They ask you for bread and on give them a stone. °f the Twentieth Dis- _ict, thought that the huBband, by the aw of Goa and man, has alone the right © dispose of his property. Why restrain the right to waive, preventing him from their husbands stripped of all his title to property. RELATIONS OF MEN AND WOMEN. Mr. Hammond, of the Thirty-fifth Dis triot, alluded to two pending amend ments, one by Mr. Crane abolishing the wife’s consent and waiving simply in writing, and that of Mr. Hammond, of Monroe, woiving by mortgage. He ob jected to both. The real question is, ought the waiver to Btand at ah? Ho be lieved in leaving a man's affairs in his own bands, independent of women. Mr. Wright had said he had ten sons striving to live, but they were oppressed by gov ernment. Would to God I had as many; I would stand several inches higher in my boots to-day. The sublimest sentence in the llistoria Sacra is: “Jacobus habuit duodeoem filios.” If I had as many I would say unto each, “Go marry the woman you love;” but upon none of them would I place a petticoat. They were not legislating to ruin poor men at all. The financial condition of the country is in abler hands than mine, and with that we have nothing to do. I beiieve this sys tem requiring the wife’s consent will work mischief. I believe there are dozens of husbands made improvident and worthless by the consciousness that they are not the bead at home. No, sir; the beBt way in the world to take oare of the women and children is to take oare of the man and make him feel his own importance and responsibility. WANT NO HOMESTEAD. Mr. Robertson, of the Thirtieth Dis trict, considered this section a great blow to the manhood of the country. The people of his county (Cobb) want no homestead. They could take oare of themselves. Wo went heartily to work after the war and are prosperous. We have t builfc up waste places where stood sentinels of ruin in the enemy’s path. The rays of the rising sun gild hundreds of marble slabs of Federal braves and shine upon the unprotected mounds of the Con federate dead. It may be the gallant spirits of the departed dead infuse and inspire the industries of the living. Be that, gentlemen, as it may, I Lave this to add, that the sons of such patriotic sires do not want the protection of worn* en. Mr. Crane’s amendment to seotion three was now put. It strikes out all the words in the first line after “power,” in cluding “witnesses,” in line two. This abolitiou of the consent of the wife was yesterday effected by Mr. Bristow’s reso lution, but to>day’s reconsideration an nulled that. Mr. Crane iuserted the words “in writing” in the line strioken. The paragraph was adopted by a vote of 96 to 62. A LOAN EFFECTED. President Jcukins here stated that he had effected a loan of $20,000, and had deposited it with Treasurer Renfroe, who kindly offered to disburse it for them. AFTERNOON SESSION. Mr. McDonald, of the Fifth District, again trumped up the pony homestead, striking out after the word “property,” in seotion four, and adding, “but nothing in this nrtiolo shall be construed to effect or repeal existing luws for the exemption of property from sale contained in the pres ent code of this State, from parapraph 2040 to 2049, inclusive, and amendatory acts thereto; but it nuty be optional with applicants to take either, but not both.” Adopted. Section 4, as amended, was adopted. Seotion 5 was adopted. Mr. Matthews, of the Thirtieth Distriot, offered an additional seotion, which was adopted. It is as follows : “Homestead and exemption of personal property, whioh have heretofore been set apart by virtue of the provisions of the existing Constitution of this State, and in accord ance with the laws for the enforcement thereof, or whioh may hereafter be so set apart at any time, shall be and remain valid as to all debts and liabilities existing at the time of the adoption of this Com stitution, to the same extent they would had said Constitution not been revised.” Mr. Grier, of the Twenty-first Distriot, offered an additional paragraph that homestead and personal property to be exempted shall be set apart and valued by a commission of three freeholders of the county, one to be seleoted by the appli cant, one by the oreditor or creditors,and the other by the Ordinary, and an appeal from their award may be taken to a jury in the Superior Court. Adopted. Mr. Brown, of the Thirty-ninth Dis triot, offered the following additional sec tion : The debtor shall have the power to waive or renounco in writing his right to the|benefit of the exemptions provided for in seel ion four, exoept as to household and kitchen furniture, wearing apparel and provisions for one year,to be seleoted by himself and wife, if any,not to exceed three hundred dollars in value. This was adopted. Mr. Wright, of the Forty-second Dis trict, offered an amendment forbidding the creditor from charging more than seven per cent, interest. Tabled. PROPERTY OF THE WIFE. Mr. Brown, of the Thirty-niflth Dis triot, offered an amendment that the property of the wife, where the wife in her own name owns property to the amount of sixteen hundred dollars, be not allowed exemption. Tabled. Section six was agreed to. Mr. Brown moved to strike out the words “in her possession” in section seven. Adopted. Mr. Wallace, of the Twenty-third Dis triot, moved to add to the seotion, “and she may avail herself of the exemptions herein provided for.” Lost. Seotion seven was adopted unamended. THE PEOPLE TO CHOOSE. Mr. Dell, of the Seventeenth Distriot, offered an ordinance that the article adop ted by the Convention on the subject of homestead and exemptions does not form a part of the Constitution exoept as here*, inafter provided. At the ratification elec tion each voter shall endorse on his ticket “Homestead of 1877,” or “Homestead of 1868,” a majority vote determining whioh shall be adopted. Carried. Mr. Mobley, of the Twenty fifth Dis trict, moved that seotion seven be adopted and referred to the Committee on the Legislative Department. Adopted. LAWS OF GENERAL OPERATION. The homestead article was now adopt* ed, and laws of general operation taken up. Paragraphs one and two were adopt ed. Mr. Hammond, of the Thirty-fifth Dis trict, offered the following Liibstitute for the first sentence in paragraph throe: “In subordination to the foregoing, all laws now in force in this State, not inconsis tent with this Constitution and the ordi* nan^os of this Convention, shall remain of force until the s imo are modified or repealed by the General Assembly.” Adopted. Paragraph four was adopted. Mr. IJeramond moved to amend para graph five by inserting “or corporation' after “persons,” in line two. Adopted. Paragraphs six and seven were adopt ed. Mr. Lewis, of the Nineteenth Distriot added to paragraph eight “exoept the ordinances in reference to the capital and homestead, which when voted on, shall have the effect of constitutional provi sions.” Reoicved, and the report was adopted.

DRTUTTS PILLS Meet the wants of those who need a safe and reliable medicine. The immense demand which has so rapidly followed their introduction is evidence that’ they do supply this want, and proves them to be THE MOST POPULAR PILL ur furnished the American people. The high- _ medical authorities concede their superiority over all others, because they possess alterative, tonic, and healing properties contained in no other medicine. Being strongly Anti-Bilious, they expel all humors, correct a vitiated sta and, being purely vegetable, other pills, leave the stomach i worse condition than they found them, but. on the contrary, impart a healthy tone and vigor before unknown. |OUR WORDS INDORSED!
