Homestead Law of Georgia. opinion' or the united state- district judge or GEORGIA. In the DLirlcl Court of the United State* for the Southern District of Georgia. In tha matter of < Bankrupts. Moseley, Wells A Cos. > * Fi SEINE, J.—About the middle of A; r.i, 1872, the families cf the present bankrepts, res; < etivt 'y, its*ituti-d proceedings in the Court ol Ordi nary of Lowndes county, in this District, nndtr the 13th section of the act of October 3d, 1868, commonly calied the Homestead or Exemption law, to tm-.e set apart and adjudged for the Use ol the families of i-ach of the bankrupts, the real and pers -nai properly exempted by the provisions of the it:-’. The Taiue of the realty that may be s t apart l.r the wife and children ol the bankrupt, may be #2,000 in specie and #I,OOO in specie in persona! property. The Ord.r.ary appointed ap praisers to appraise and allot the exempted prop erty. They acted and returned their actings and doings in the ; remises into the Court of Ordinary. On tt 27th of April, D72, the Ordinary approved the returns and set apart the property so ap praised to the families of the bankrupts. On the Ist of May cert tin creditors of the bankrupts took appeals to the Superior Court of said county, from ti e judgments of the Court of Ordinary, on the ground that the property set apart was of greater value than that p laced upon it by the ap praisers, and sanctioned by the decision of the C.urt cf Ordinary. These several appeals are now depending and undetermined ia the appel late triluna!—the Superior Court ot Lowndes county. An appeal brings up the whole rccoid and is a tie im*u investigation. “ The appeal,” says the Code, sec. 1572, “suspends, but does not vacate judgment; and if dismissed or withdrawn, the rights of all parties are the tCme as if no appeal had been entered.” But, notwithstanding the fact that the entire cause is opened for review— that the whole case is to be tried over again, as if it never l ad been tried ; yet it is obvious, from the very words of the Code Itself, that the decis ion cr judgment pronounced by the Inferior Court remains of force, though the fruits of the judgment cannot be gathered by the parties in whose favor it stands, until the appellate Court shall have decided that there is no error therein. If, however, the Court And that there is error in the judgment, it will reverse the same in whole, cr, I apprehend, in part, aud then enter such judgment, according to the justice of the case, as the luferior Court—in this case, the Court of Or dinary of Lowndes county—ought to have en tered. As already seen, the appeals from the several Judgments of the Court of Ordinary to the Su perior Court were taken on the Ist of May, 1872. On the oth of the aamo month and year, the credi tors of Moseley, Wells & Cos. filed their petition in this Court, under the 89th section ot the Bank rupt Act, thus initiating proceedings against them in involuntary bankruptcy; and, on the oth of June, 1872, Moseley, Wells & Cos. were, by judg ment of this Court, declared bankiupts. Counsel for the creditors contended that cn the filing of tha petition in involuntary bankruptcy, on the 6th of May, 1872, the jurisdiction of the State Courts over the proceedings then pending by vir tue of the Statu statute, of October 3d, ISOB, in regard to the several homesteads and exemptions, ceased, and the jurisdiction of this Court attached —drawing to it for adjudication and distribution among the creditors all the estate of the bank rupts, and in which estate was included the prop erty set apart for ami adjudged to the families of the several parties declared bankrupts, on the sth of Jnue, 1872. It was fuither Insisted, that the Judgments pronounced by the Court of Ordinary on the 27th of April, 1872, were respectively but mesne process ; and bring rendered within four months next receding the commencement of the proceedings in lavolunic.ry bankruptcy, were, by force ol the 14’:■ secthm of the Bankrupt Act dis solved. in support ol the last point, counsel cited and relied upon the case of Randall et al. vs. M<t- Larin, 40 Ha., 162. There a judgment had been rendered by the Federal Court of South Carolina, and upon which judgment a suit was instituted iu the Superior Court ot Chatham eouuty, Georgia. Warner, J., in delivering the opinion ot the Court, said: “Thejudgment obtained in the State of South Carolina in the District Court, ceuid not be collected in this State, except by a suit there on, at common law, or by process of attachment; and in either case, the proceeding instituted to collect the amount of the judgment debt in this State in mesne process. There can be no doubt that a writ of attachment is mesne process, and if saed out within four months immediately before the defendant is declared a bankrupt, it must be dissolved, as provided by the Bankrupt act. And as to the judgment, upon which the action was brought to recover its contents, it was a mere chose iu action, with many of the attributes of a promissory note or bill of exchange, and the pro ceeding instituted to collect It, was also but mesne process, for all writs necessary to a suit between its beginning and end are mesne process. And this is the well-established rule of practice in Courts governed by the principles of the common law ; therefore, the latter is affected by the Bankrupt act like the former—the process of attachment. Tommty <£• Staeart vs. Finney, 42 Ga., 155, was also presented. This case consisted originally of two—one a suit in a Magistrate’s Court, appealed to the Superior Court; the other, a suit brought in the Superior Court after the Magistrate’s case had been appealed. Both accounts, it seems, were due when the suit on one was brought in the Magistrate’s Court. Judge Montgomery in giv ing the opinion of tha Supreme Court, said: “It is insisted by defendant in error that both ac counts are aud er the agreed statement of facts bat one and should have been sued in the same action. * * * * The reply is, that an appeal is aJe novo investigation and the first action is a suit now pending” [on appeal] “in the Superior Court: Code, see. 8571; and hence there is no judgment to bar.” And the Coart held that the pendency oi the first action as a defence to the account could not be taken advantage o.* by a plea in bar at the second term, but ought to have been by plea in abatement. It will be perceived that this case turned ou a point of pleading and did not touch the legal statue of the judgment rendered in the Magistrate’s Court. It was not questioned, I believe, that the Court of Ordinary had jurisdiction over the subject mat ter of the Homestead proceedings. When the Court ofOidinsry rendered its decisions on the Homestead proceedings, the judgments were bind ing and effective, it no appeals had been taken to the Superior Court. Now, it is to the Code that attention must be directed lo ascertain what effect each of the appeals had on the legal condition cf the judgments rendered by the Court of Ordinary, on the 27th of April, 1872, and appealed on the Ist of May following—six days prior to the com mencement ol the proceedings in involuntary bankruptcy. As previously stated, the 3515th sec tion of the Code says : “Au appeal suspends, but does not vacate judgment.” This language is too plain to need construction. I entirely agree with the counsel that the mere application tor a Homestead gives no iien on the property, and also that a iien, to have any standing in the Bankrupt Court, must be a lien at the time the party becomes a bankrupt. If, therefore, the judgments entered by the Court cf Oidinary on the Homestead exemption, iu favor of the fami lies of the parties since declared Bankrupts, are not liens attached to the property alloted and set apart, then the property, by operation of the bankrupt law, is before this court for ajudication. Counsel cited the case of I Vootfo'k vs. Murray, 44, Ga. 133; Seymour vs. Morgan, 45, Id. 201, and the Justices, itv., vs. Haygood, 15, Id. 309; to show that no lien existed, notwithstanding the judg ments of the Court of ordinary in favor of the families ot .he present bankrupts. In tbs Justi fies, dv., vs. Ifaygood, Starnes, J., said : “ By the provisions ot our judiciary system an appeal at common law vacates the judgment on the first trial for alt the purposes cf a rehearing.” If it was the intention ot the Court, as was insisted, to decide that when an appeal is entered from an interior to a superior court, that that act vacates ; the judgment appealed from, then the reply is, that since the time of that deci-ion the rule of law—if rule of law ii was—has betn charged by the Code, which expressly d#cia;ea that thejudg- j ment Is su-; ended, not vacated. But still, I en tertain doubts that the sentence just cited fiom the report of the case, warrants a meaning so ex tended and strong, as has been contended tor. Coanrtl argued that the law of this State is now as it was at the time The Justices, <tr., vs. Haygood was decided, and the case cf Seymour vs. Morgan was eferred to. Iu that ease McCay, J., in pro nouncing the opinion of the coart, observed: “One buying land after judgment against the owner which has been vacated by an appeal, buys it with notice and subject to the final judgment, but be is co more a purchaser after the judgment than one who buys with notice of the vendor’s 1 cd, or with notice of any other feet which will make the land si.’jeet <o a judgment against the vendor.’ If it was the purpose of the Court to hold that an appeal vacated 3 judgment rendered in the court from which the appeal was taken, to my mind it seems directly repugnant to the very words and spirit of the £5721 seciion of the Code. If the word “ vacated,” as found in the report, is not there by misteke of the printer or oversight, then it is manifest to the reader that a purchase, under the circumstances mentioned in the sen tence quoted, would not find a judgment which has been vacated—made void—an impediment in the title. Woolfclk vs. Murray —ln this case, the wife, after her husband had been adjudged a bankrupt and the property had passed into the hands of the United Slates Marshal, made application to the Ordinary to have a Homestead set apart for her self and children, under the act of 1658. McCay, J., in giving the judgment of the Court, said: “ But it is very clear that until it [the Homestead] is laid tfl there is no property or right of property in the family. * * * * It is a right which depends for its txiUe cs upon the judgment of the j Court. And a like thought is expressed in a sub sequent part of the opinion. That distinguished and learned Judge snys : “ It is clear to us, there fore, that this right of the wife is not a title, lien or incumbrance upon the husband’s property, until it has been appropriated by a judgment.” And as there was no judgment of the Court of Ordinary, or other ccurt having jurisdiction an terior to the adjudication of bankruptcy, the court held that the jurisdiction over the property sought to he exempted, passed to the Federal Court to be there adjudicated. See S. P. Lumpkin VB. Eason Id. 32b. A judgment is the sentence ol the law pro nounced by a court, o. - a judge thereof, upon a matter in issue in any cause before iu I am of the opinion that each of the appeals taken on the Ist cf May, 1872, from the Court of Ordinary to the Superior Court, in no wise affected the de cision or judgment of the former tribu&ai, further than to suspend or interrupt it from proceeding, until the cau?e appealed is rovieved and passed upon by the appeliate Court; in other words, that each of the judgments created a lien upon the property set apart to the families, respec tively, of the present bankrupts, and each judg ment so rendered remains intact, though for the time fruitless. Whether the property set apart for the families of these bankrupts was partnership property (for this is a point in controversy)—property held in trust far the firm creditors; or whether if part nership property, these families would be enti tled to homesteads out of it, are questions that this Court, in this proceeding, declines to pass upoD. And the same may be said as to the other points presented in argument, or other questions which might arise out of the facts of the case. On none of these questions will the Court antici pate an opinion. I instruct the assignee forthwith lo apply to the Honorable, the Superior Court of Lowndtw Coun ty, for leave to be made a party to tbe proceed ings there pending on the several appeals taken from the Court of Ordinary of Lowndes County. The Clerk of this Court will certify the forego, ing opinion to Mr. Register Beckett. Fifed in Court, April 21, 1873. <-a- - The Lon'Hiann War. The recent fatal and lamentable collision be tween the whites sr.d blacks iu Grant Parish, ac counts oi which have been given, is but the inev itable and of the policy pursued by the Government toward the South, and the iu iquitoua and corrupting teachings of political demagogues and venal carpet-baggers, who use the negro to promote their own aggr&ndi*ement and create opportunities to satiate the desire of their pilfering scuis. There has been so much class legislation iu favor of the negroes, so much license giaated them, so muchcourtiug of their favor, and a desire to make them feel, recognize and appre ciate their social, moral, mental and physical equality with the whites, by the party in power, that they have grown insolent, over-bearing and dogmatical, and are determined to do as their misguided wishes dictate, without regard to the sovereign rights of the white people; and in tbe execution of their foul and venal schemes they expect, as heretofore, to be protected by tbe Government. Directed and instigated by white men, whose souls are filled with tbe hatred and envy of a long line of ancestry, they have committed outrages of the most daring character, and crimes unknown ia the charter that goverrs perdition. Yet the President sits quietly iu the mansion of the peo ple, ar,d beholds the distruction of their lives and property, without interference. The people have submitted aud remonstrated, until despair ing of protection from the lf.w, are fast coming to the determination to protect themselves. The affair in Louisiana is but the beginning of and end of what surely will be, if there is not an interference by the Government. They may pre cipitate a war of races before they are aware of it. In such a war the complete and total extermina tion of the negroes would not be problematical. Let them beware, for they may yet “ reckon with out their host.” Bkxtish Fogeries.— The Savannah Advertiser S3J9 : The recovery of nearly a quarter of a million of dollars in United States bonds, which had been obtained by Macdonald alias Bidwell and his asso ciates in the late Bank of England forgeries, was effected iu New York last week. On the sth of March last a trunk said to contain wearing appar el, old and in nse, was delivered at the office ol the North Atlantic Express Company, London, by a person calling himself C. Lossiug, of Tunbridge Wells, England, and addressed to Major George Mathews, New Y'ork. The trunk was duly for warded by the Express company, and reached New York by the steamship Cuba, aud was kept in bond as per instructions. In the meantime, the counsel for the Bank ot England had received some information in regard to the trunk which led to its detention by the ex press company until Monday, when it was taken possession ot under an order of the Supreme Court by Nathaniel Jaunis, Esq , receiver in the Bank cf England forgery case, aud on being opened and examined, was found ao contain a quantity of wear.ng apparel, old and in use, two gold watches, several miscellaneous articles, and three packages of United Stales five-twenty and ccn-forty bonds rolled up in soiled linen, amount ing in all to $220,950. The bonds were lound to bo identical in class, amount and number with those .idvertised by the Bank of England to have been obtained by the Bidwell forgeries, and in the trunk were found cards and a card plate, with the name “Geo. Bidwell,” and a variety of memoran da, bills, etc., showing conclusively tLat it had teen shipped by and belonged to him. Out of S3OO, OgO obtained from the Bank of England by these Urgeries, ail but $30,000 have now been re covered. j To Drive Awat Bores.— The New York World ■ has the following: “ Western newspaper offices are afflicted with a I terrible fellow known as the ‘exchange fiend.’— otherwise the gentleman who casually ‘just drops in’ every day to look over the exchanges. Some journals in that part of the country have had in use buzz-saws as a means of exterminating these wretches; bat the buzz-saw has been found to be not quite the thing, since it makes a noise and warns the fiend of what is coming. The Louis ville Courier Journal of a recent date publishes a communication from a Mr. * J. C. Braithewaite Bogardus,’ who claims to have invented a * Patent Irresistible Kicker,’ wh:eh is warranted to make the fiend a suitable subject for a surgical opera tion iu the brief space of.two minutes. This in vention comprises a chair, the seat of which is well furnished with powerful springs, an immense boot coucealed in the fioor, and a sort of hoisting apparatus with a large hook attachment. The fiend seats himself in a chair and picks up an ex change, and is almost instantly teseed np to tbe hook, which catches him and holds him in mid air; then the boot emerges from the floor like a flasu and kicks him tor the space of about a min ute aud a half. After that the exchange fiend never cornea to the office any more,” Jeff Davis.—A correspondent, w,Ling from Memphis, says: Oar most noted eiPz n, Hon. Jefferson Davi la tha most retiring and quiet person wt L ove iu our community. He devotes Limseif to the du ties of president of the Caroiiua Life Insurance Company, managing its affairs with great judg ment and discretion. It is generally understood that Mr. Davis is a ru id hater, but this does not imply that he is cot a very genial ard more than ordinarily good-natured person. Possessing a wonderful store o’ knowledge, audaii exceedingly happy lacaliy of teliirg what he knows, makes the ex-President of the Confederacy an acquaint acce to be sought after. It he is not in the harits of pardoning an enemy, neither does he ever forget a friend. MR. DAVIS’ OPINION GF B2N. IT hi. AND LONG STREET. Not long since, I was present when a gentle man remarked to Mr. Davis that the political course of Bsc. Hill, of Georgia, was, to say the least of it, to be regretted. “ Possibly,” an swered Mr. Davis, “ Hill might have pursued a course in-recent politics that I would have liked better, if I cared much abou* sued things; but I will be far from censuring the mau for anything he may do r.ow who stood ty me when -ii others fotsook our cause, it was in those trying times that he piovtd himself the truest of (he true, rt is pen aud his voice were oa my tide when I most needed them, and they w : j tqual to ten thous and bayonet?, and I shall not forget his services.’’ The other endeavored to support his position by citing Longstreet’s case, arguing that Loi.gstrcet had been a good soldier in a good cause, yet his late political antecedents a-e sufficient to destroy any and all former i rmed of him. Mr. DtYis did not ease exactly parallel. Longstreet was an ordinary nun, whose place could have been supplied by a thousand persons. Hill was a great man and a power. Why Me* do not Marry. —The Cincinnati Enquirer says : The Rev. Henry Morgan, Of New York, baa been delivering a lecture upon the very important question, “ Why Men do not Marry.” He gave eight reasons, each of which in itself would appear to be sufficient: First, because they eould not get the woman wham they wanted — they looked too high for beauty, talent and per fection which was beyond their reach; second, because they were cowards—they dared not “face the music,” aud quaked at the lightning flashes of a fair maiden’s eye ; third, because they were skeptical—they had no faith ia woman’s constan cy, and believed her weak and trail; fonith, be cause they were selfish and stiagy and did not think that they couid support wives; fifth, be cause women of genius were not always good housewives (the reverend gentleman advised his male auditors not to marry geniuses); sixth, be cause of man’s own extravagance—many of our young men spend their incomes foolishly, and of coarse could not afford to marry ; seventh, be cause they were afraid of divorce, which was made by the laws too easy—free love was poisoning the system of marriage ; eighth, because of woman’s extravagance—it costs as much to launch a woman on the sea of wedded life in these times as it would to fit out a small schooner. As to sails, cordage, pennants and streamers, the difference, he opined, was in favor of tbe schooner. As to her outfit, she was to be freighted with bonnets,' veils, necklaces, ear-rings, pins, chains, bracelets, rings, ruffles, bows, bands, buttons, loops, folds, pipings, pleats, silks, muslins, laces, fans, boots, slippers, parasols, collars, cuffs, nets, chignons, waterfalls, rats, mice, braids, frizzles, switches, puffs, curls, panier, tournure, Grecian bend. What a cargo was this for such a email vessel! Few are the underwriters who take the “risk” in such a craft; and few were the men who would marry this “ Doily Varden ” walker advertise ment. At the bottom of all this rests the great reason, and that is a very serious one for society to con sider. It is getting to be too expensive to marry, and beyond the means of constantly increasing numbers of people. This is one oi ihe most alarming signs of. the future, for few will deny the promises that upon marriage rusts our whole social 6upeiftt.uctuit. AiJ the improvements, discoveries and inventions which Lave been made In modern time3 seem only to have one result — that of making our lives more artificial and com plicated, end consequently more expensive. Every thing seems to run ia the channel of increasing our wants without in the least giving us any means of satisfying them. This is the great fault of our present civilization. The old, simple styles of our ancestors have long beea repudiated, and a standard of wealth and luxury has been established which seems to throw matrimony out of the ques tion, and thereby to entail upon our posterity the most alarming evils.
