THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1873,
Some Information from Hon. B. H,
Whiteley in Beg'ard to the Recent
Decision of the U. 8- Supreme on the
Homestead Law-
Bainbr dge, Ga., May 2, 1873.
Editor of the Sun.—
The indiscriminate levy of executions
founded upon debts contracted previous
to the adoption of the Constitution of
our State, and the wide spread distress,
which must fellow the sale of property
at this- time added to the alarm of the
people who arc so unfortunate as to be in
debt, induced me to ask the use of your
columns to state what the legislation T>f
Congress is, as affording a remedy for
the debtor.
-1st. By Act of March 2nd 1867, Vol.
14, U. S. Statutes at large, any person
owing debts exceeding 8300 in amount
was entitled to go into Bankruptcy^ and
be discharged from all indebtedness due
by him at'the date of filing his petition;
but to secure a discharge under the above
act, without regard to the amount the
Bankrupt or debtor was able to pay, the
application to become a Bankrupt had
to be filed by March 2nd 1868; in that
time the debtor had to pay 50 cents in
the dollar to receive his discharge, un
less a majority in number and many of
his creditors consented to his discharge.
Under this act the Bankrupt was allow
ed not exceeding 8500 worth of proper
ty in additon to the property exempted
by the State law of force in 1864.
2nd. By act of July 1868, the right
to a discharge without regard to the
per eent. the debtor could pay his credi
tors was extended to all applications fil
ed previous to the 1st January, 1868.
2d. By act of July 14th, 1870, the
provisions of the original act of March
2d, 1867, as amended by the act of Ju
ly 27th, 1868, requiring the bankrupt
to pay 50 cts on the dollar to his credi
tors, without his application for the
benefit of the Bankrupt act, "was filed
previous to the 1st of January, 1869,
was declared not to apply to debts which
were contracted prior to the 1st of Jan
uary, 1869.
4th. By act of 1873, 42d Congress,
the exemptions allowed in the original
act of March 2d, 1867 as above stated;
i. e., “not exceeding 8500 in addition
to the property exempted by the State
laws of force in 1864,” was amended by
making the State exemption apply to
the year 1871. From the foregoing
statement, it will be seen that the law
of force at present is as follows:
-. Any citizen of Georgia owing debts
exceeding 8300, contracted previous to
the year 1869, can apply for, and take
the benefit of the Bankrups act. with
out regard to what he is able to pay his
creditors, and will be entitled to the
exomption allowed by the act' of 1867,
i. e. -not exceeding $500, and in addi
tion thereto, to the Homestead exemp
tion allowed by the Constitution of 1S68.
Under the bankrupt law as now of
force no one can be discharged from
debts contracted since the 1st of Janu-
afy, 1869, who is unable to pay his cred
itors fifty cents on the dollar, and if
.this debtor Iras heretofore taken the
bankrupt act. he cannot again do so,
without his assets will pay 70 cents in
the dollar.
Hoping that the above information
may be useful and point the people to
the fact, that they are not yet at the
mercy of creditors,
« I am respectfully,
RICHARD H. WHITELEY.
The Coast Line Water Boute and the
Interior Press.
•What is the. meaning of the persis
tent silence of the up country press,
particularly the Macon Telegraph, At
lanta Constitution aud Sun, on the sub
ject of Col. Raiford’s coast line water
route? TShile the two latter papers are
zealous in their advocacy of cheap wa
ter communication with the West, and
urge the construction of the Atlantic and
Great Western Canal,' in neither of
them, nor in the Telegraph, have we
seen any notice of the gulf line project,
which is certainly deserving of consid
eration in connection with the much de
sired cheap water communication be
tween the West and the Atlantic. In
view of its commercial importance, its.
unquestioned feasibility, ita cheapness
of construction, its safety and reliabil-
ity, it certainly is worthy of # considera
tion by all who have the improvement
of our facilities of commercial- inter
course with the West at heart. While
promment men and journals North and
"N est are considering the practical ad
vantages of the proposed.inland water
way from the M ississippi to the Atlan-
tic, it is a little strange that our own
•Southern journals should entirely ig
nore u. We heartily unite with our
Atlanta a*i,l ^laeon eotemporarics in
commending the public spirit and zeal |
of Gov. Smith in calling the convention
of Southern and Western Governors to
meet in Atlanta on the 20th iDSt., to
consider the speediest, best and most
practicable moans of giving to the pro
ducer of the West cheap transportation
for the Atlantic markets, and while we
shall zealously advocate the construction
of the Great Western Canal or any
other feasible project which may be
recommended by that body, we never
theless consider it only proper that the
Gulf route so strongly urged by many
of the most practical men of the coun
try, should be fairly brought before the
public. This water route is not regard
ed by its advocates as in any sense a
rival of the proposed Canal. Its con
struction is urged on the grounds of its
eminent feasibility and great economy
both of money and time. At the pres
ent time there would be abundance of
business for both routes if they were
in operation. The coast line could, at
an expense comparatively small, be
opened to the steamboats and barges of
the Mississippi in less than two years,
and by the time the Great Western Ca
nal could possibly be completed both
would have more than they could do in
the transportation of the vastly increas
ed freights of the West which would
seek through them an outlet to the At
lantic.
While we feel tha,t our seaport has ^
very great interest in the early comple
tion of the proposed water route,.which
would make Savannah an important out-
port for a vast commerce now virtually
blockaded in the West, or seeking, un
der the embarrassment of long and tor-
tuojis routes and expensive laud car
riage, an outlet to the markets of the
world through Norchern ports, we also
feel that our entire section, and espec
ially the cities iu our State which will
have either river or railroad connection
with the proposed work, are' not less in
terested in its construction. All com
mercial centres, all^ distributing points
in the interior of our Stafci, would re
alize the benefits of this line of cheap
water communication in the reduction
of freights which at present almost
amount to* a prohibition of Western
produce from their markets. Why,
then, should not Macon, with her river
and Southwestern Railroad; Albany,
with her river and railroads; Columbus,
with her river and railroads, and Atlan
ta, the great railroad centre of the State,
feel a lively interest in a work which
will bring the heavy and bulky freights,
the corn, bacon, wheat and flour of the
West, by cheap water transportation, so
nearly to their doors ?
Come, gentlemen of the interior press,
give the coast line a hearing. If you
are opposed to its being entertained by
the convention shortly to meet in At
lanta, give the public the benefit of
your objections.—Sav Neics.
Execution of Susan Eberhart.
THE SECOND WHITE WOMAN EVER HUNG
IN GEORGIA.
The Atlanta Herald and Consti
tution have several columns of the
details of the hanging of Susan
Eberhart, who was only nineteen
years of age, in Preston, Webster
county, on Friday. She was con
victed as the accomplice of Spann,
in the murder ot *his cue-legged wife
about a year ago. Spann was exe
cuted a short time ago, and Susan
Eberhart ended her life on the same
scaffold.
This is said to be the second case
of a white woman ever being hanged
in Georgia. Some seventy years ago
a Mrs- Bentley was hanged in Wash
ington county Ga., for the murder
of her husband. She was a woman
of wealth and attractions.
Susan Eberhart testified to the
fact that she did all she could to pre
vent Spann from strangling his wife.
On the night of her murder, Susan
was forced from her bed by Spann,
made to give him a handkerchief,
and made to stand by while he
strangled her with a rope.' After
the murder, he forced her to leave
with lpm. She also stated that
there had been no illicit intercourse
between them. She had been with
them about a year. Spann made
advances once, but she had repelled
them. Spann was kind to his wile,
but she was quarrelsome and disa
greeable. Ha*d she been any sort of
a wife, he would not have thought
of killing her. Susan complains that
witness swore falsely against her.
She was ready to die. In all crimi
nal acts she had been influenced by
slavish tear of Spann. She was one
of a large family. She could read,
but had little other education.
Spann's wife was Miss Sarah Perkins,
of Marion county. No children sur
vive them.
The people of Americas and the
neighborhood, and the jurors who
tried and convicted her, endeavored
to have her sentence commuted to
imprisonment for life. The Govern
or’s letter we publish on our first
page. He is reported assaying that
Spann was more deserving of com
mutation than MiSs Eberhart. He
was little teetter than an idiot. She
had 9 strong mind, controlled, and
wanted to-marry him—hence the
wife was put out of the way. The
jurors, when they convicted her,
were on oath ; now they are n^.
Gov. S. is a magistrate on oath. The
case has been carried to the Supreme
Court and a new trial refused. Sev
eral Telegrams passed the day be
fore the execution, but the Governor
was inexorable.
Seven hundred attended the exe
cution. Of these, half were lie
groes. A dozen white women were
present.
We copy the following from the
Herald:
HER APPEARANCE.
She was dresstd plainly but neatly
in a close-fitting, well-worn but clean
homespun dress, and her hair, of
which she has a very heavy black
suite, was drawn back tightly from
her broad forehead, and hung down
her head in two broad plaits. There
were few eyes that gazed upon her
girlish form outlined in such cruel
prominence against the sky that
were not suppressed with tears.
THE LAST WORDS.
She ascended to the top of the
scaffold without trepidation. When
asked jvhat she had to say, she re
plied, in a clear, calm voice : “Jam
willing to go, and hope to be in
heaven soon. ^ There 1 hope to meet
you nil some day.”
Then turning to the Sheriff, she
added : “Fix the’rope so I wiil die
easy—don’t let me suffer long!”
She seemed to lear that her neck
would not be broken, and that her
death would be a long one. As she
spoke to the Sheriff there was not a
tinge ot bravado in her voice. Her
calm confrontation of death bordered
upon the heroic.
ON THE BRINK.
More affected than the condemned
■woman was, the Sheriff approached
and pinioned her arms. The rope
was next placed round her neck and
the cap adjusted. As the last
named article was drawn - over her
face a slight shudder convulsed her
Irame. It was, however, but for an
instant. The next, it had disap
peared, and she stood calm, erect
and motionless.
A FRIGHTFUL STRUGGLE.
At five minutes to 12 o’clock the
signal was given, the drop fell and
the body of Susan Eberhart was
dangling iu the air. Her fall was
five feei. The apprehensions of the
unfortunate woman had been real
ized. Her neck was l^ot broken!
She struggled convulsively, drew
up her body atfd arms and swung
completely round, making tearful
efforts to free her arms. Her hands
opened and shut repeatedly
Every nerve in her body seemed
convulsed in agony, and her limbs
opened and closed as if in wild and
unavailing efforts to seek some foot
hold on which to rest her feet. There
was, however, no rest for her. Tiie
fatal rope, too remorseless for life,
held firm, despite the efforts of the
convict to burst its strangling bonds.
Each minute of torture seemed an
hour to the crowd.
The sufferings of the poor creature
must have been as terrible'to her as
they were painful to witness. A
perceptible shudder passed through
th spectators, who were-all greatly
affected. It was altogether a frigbt-
Tul scene.
DEAD.
She gradually ceased' to struggle,
and after hanging nineteen minutes,
her pulse and heart ceased beating
and she was soon after pronounced
dead. Her body was then cut down
and given to her friends. The crowd
dispersed and the tragedy was over.
