James B. Walker, plaintiff in etror, vs. W. ii.
Whitehead.
This case va carried on a writ ol error from
the Supreme Court ol Georgia, to the Supreme
Court of the United States upon the loiiowiLg
s'ate of facts : The plaintifl instituted suit against
the defendant, on a promissory note made and
executed In the year 1864. The defendant inter
posed two pleas: That after the maturity of the
note, he had tendered payment in Confederate
money; that he was a loser by the war ot one
i hundred negroes, etc.; that he was a citizen of the
Confederate Stales, and waged war, etc., and that
he pleads these losses as an offset, etc.
When the case was called the defendant moved
to diimiss it because there was no affidavit filed
of the payment of taxes, which waa done, etc.,
and the Snpreme Court affirmed its judgment.
Justice Swayne delivering the opinion of the
Snpreme Court of the United States, said:
“The contract here in question Is within the
predicate of this act. It was made more than eix
years before the aet was passed. The act was ret
rospective—denounced a penalty not before de
scribed for the non payment of taxes —and, if
such delinquency had existed lor a single year,
confiscated the debt by making any remedy to en
force paj meat impossible. The denunciation and
the penalty came together. There was no warn
ing and there could be no escape. The purpose
of the act was plainly not to collect back taxes—
that was neither asked nor permitted as a means
of purgation—but to bar the debt and discharge
the debtor.
“ The act is not an ex poet facto law only, be
cause that phrase-in its legal sense ii confined to
crimes and their punishment
“The Constitution of the Suited States declares
that no State 6hall pass any “law impairing the
obligation or contracts.”
“ These propositions may be considered conse
quent axioms in our jurisprudence:
“ The laws which exist at the time and place ol
the making of a contract, and where it Is to be
performed, enter into and form a part of it Thi#
embraces alike Its validity, cousiruction, dis
charge, and enforcement.
“ Nothing is more material to the obligation of
a coutraet than the means of its enforcement.
The ideas of validity and remedy are inseparable,
tud both are parts of the obligation which gnar
, antccd by the Constitution by impairment.
“The obligation of a contract “is the law
which binds the parties to perform their agree
ment;”
“Asy impairment of the obligation ot a con
tract—the degree of impairment is immaterial—is
within the prohibition ol the Constitution ;
'* The State;, may change the remedy, provided
no substantial right secured by the contract is
impaired. Whenever sucli a result is produced
by the act in question, to that extent it
is void. The States arc no more permitted
to impair the efficacy of a contract in this
way than to attack its vitality in any other
manner. Against all assaults coming from
that quarter, whatever guise they may assume,
the contract is shielded by the Constitution. It
must be left with the same force and effect, in
cluding the enforcement, which existed when it
was made. The guaranty of the Constitution
gives it protection to that extent.—Von Hoffman
vs. The City of Quincy, 4 Wall., 535.
“ The effect of these proposition* upon the
judgment before us requires but a single remarki*
A clearer case of impairing the obligation of a
contract, within the meaning of the Constitution,
can hardly occur.
“The judgment of the Supreme Court of Geor
gia is reversed, and the cause will be remanded to
that Court with directions to enter a judgment ol
reversal, and then to proceed in conformity to
this opinion. D. W. Middleton,
C. S. C. U. 8.
The Inspiration of Necessity.— There ie, it
seems, a sort of inspiration in necessity. When
the accomplishment of a task becomes a present
necessity it precludes a longer delay and demands
undivided attention and labor. It is lor this rea
son that so much is often accomplished on “the
spur of the moment.” Work deferred leaches
the crisis of necessity; then all things else are
subordinated to its accomplishment. And it is
not strange that a great deal is often accomplished
in a short time, since there is not so much tha
measure of progress as intense labor. And ne
cessity always involved the exercise of this secret
of successful work. Humanity is ever postpon
ing, ever deterring. The moat active worker is
more or- less an unwilling worker. The mind
goes not ungoaded to its toil. Great thoughts
flow not freely. Nay, even poetry and music are
in a manner pressed out. To a yonng artist in
quiring of him as to the best manner of compos
ing an overture Rossini wrote “ wait until the
evening before the performance, for nothing ex-
cites inspiration like necessity—the presence of a
copy is waiting for your work, and a manager in
despair, tearing omt hair by haudfulls. In Italy,
iu my time, all the managers were bald.” Literary
men have often felt this inspiration. Dr. John
son not unfrequently wrote the last part of an
essay while the printer was at work on the first.
The doctor declared, however, that when he was
once seated at the table he felt no fear that the
printer would not receive his copy. Dickens said
he once, when entering a book store to procure
some paper on which to write the last number of a
story, heard a lady inquire for that number. That
fright no doubt furnished hint with anew impulse
for his labor. Tom Hood wrote under this Inspi
ration more frequently than any other. No one
ever did his best. The great question is not al
ways one of power; most every one could accom
plish much more than they will. Necessity is
ofteu to a man what steam is to an engine.
Fright, it is said, has a tendency to increase speed.
fc>o necessity Las a similar etleet upon our mental
faculties. Men work usually in accordance with
the pressure they feel. Increase the pressure and
the results are greater. Of all the influences
brought to bear ou humanity, that cf
not the least. It quiekns thought, awakens feel
ing, imparts skill, impels to action, and directs to
effort And much of that which we call genius
and which we attribute to a higher inspiration is
the result ot this common sort of necessity.
What Breaks Down Ter.ss Men.— lt is •
coramouly received notion that hard study is the
unhealthy element of college life. Bat from ta
bles of the mortality of Harvard University, col
lected by Professor Pierce from the last triennial
catalogue, it is clearly demonstrated that the ex
cess ot deaths for the first ten years after gradual
lion is found in that portion of the class of infe
rior scholarship. Every one who has seen the
curriculum knows that where Eaechylus and po
litical economy injures one, late hours and milk
punches use up a dozen, and the two little fingers
are heavier than the loins of Euclid. Dissipation
is a sure destroyer, and every young man who
follows it is, as the early flower, exposed to an
untimely irost. Those who have beeD inveigled
into the path of vice are named legion. A few
hours' sleep each night, high living and plenty of
“ smashes” make war upon every function of the
body. The brains, the heart, the nerves, the
lungs, the liver, the spine, the limbs, the bonea,
the flesh, every part and faculty are overtasked
and weakened by the terrific energy of passion
loosened from restraint, until like a dilapidated
mansion, the “ earthly house of this tabernacle **
falls into ruinous decay. Fast young men right

FORSYTH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING MAY 6. 1873.
Homestead Law.
John MtK. Gunn, plaintiff :n error, vs. Charles
F. Barry. In error to the cupitme Court of the
Slate ot Georgia.
This Is a writ o! error to the Supreme Court of
Georgia.
On the 12ih of May, 1866, the plaintifl in error
recovered in the Superior Couit of Randolph
county a judgment against Wm. R. Hart for the
sum of $402 30 principal, and $129 60 interest up
to the date of the judgment, aud costs. An exe
cution was issued upon the Judgment, and placed
in the hands ot the defendant in error as sheriff ot
that county. He was thereby commanded to
make the sums above mentioned and turther in
terest upon the principal trorn the 12th of May,
1866, end the costs. The plaintiff in error re
quested him to levy upon a tract of land of 272J4
acres, belonging to Hart, the defendant in the
judgment. Barry refused. He assigned as the
only reason for his refusal that the premises had
been 6et off to Hart under the provisions of the
act passed by the General Assembly of the State,
and approved October 3d, 1869, entitled “An act
to provide for setting apart a homestead of realty
and personalty, aud for the valuation of said
property, and for the full and complete protection
and security oi the same to the sole use and bene
fit of families, as required by section first of ani
lide seventh of the Constitution, and for other
purposes.”
Gunn theretore petitioned the Superior Court
of the county for a writ of mandamus to compel
the sheriff to make the levy.
The petition set forth that the land in
question was the only property known to
him subject to the lien of his judgment, except a
tiact of 28 acres of the value of SIOO, situated in
the county of Stewart, which was also included in
the homestead set apart; that the premises in
question were worth the sum of SI,BOO, and that
they embraced a much larger number of acres
than the real estate exempt from levy and sale
by the laws iu force when the judgment waa recov
ered and when the debt on which it was founded
was contracted.
It does not appear that these allegations were
denied, and we do n&t understand that there is any
controversy upon the subject.
After a full hearing the Court affirmed the valid
ity of the act in Us retrospective aspect, and gave
judgment against the petitioner. The Supreme
Court of the State affirmed this judgment.
The first section of the seventh article of the
Constitution of Georgia of 1868 provides that
“ each head of a family, or guardian or trnstee of
a family of minor children, shall be entitled to a
homestead of realty to the v*due of $2,000 in spe
cie, and personal property to the value o! SI,OOO
in specie.
The first section o! the act of the 3U of October,
ISOS, is in the same teims.
It may weli be donbted whether both these
provisions were not intended to be wholly pros
pective iu their effect.
But as we understand the Supreme Court of the
Stale has come to a different conclusion, we shall
not consider the question.
The statute in force when the judgment was
rendered declared mat th ; following property be
longing to a debtor who was the head of a family
should be exempt from levy and sale.
No one can cast bis eyes over the former and
latter exemptions, without being struck by the
greatly increased magnitude of the latter.
Section 10 of article l of the Constitution of the
United States declares that “ no State shall pass
any law impairing the obligation of contracts.”
If the remedy is a part of the obligation of the
contract, a clearer case of impairment can hardly
occur than is presented in the record before us.
The effect oi the act in question, under the cir
cumstances of this judgment, does not indeed
merely impair, it annihilates the remedy. There
is none left. But the act reaches still further. It
withdraws the land from the lieu of the judgment,
and thus destroys a vested right of property
which the creditor had acquired in the pursuit ot
the remedy to which he was entitled by the law
as it stood when the judgment wa3 recovered. It
is in effect taking one person’s property and giv
ing it to another without compensation. This is
contrary to reason and justice, and to the tunda
inental principles of the social compact.—Calder
vs. Bull, 3 Dali., 388. But we must confine our
selves to the constitutional aspect of the case. A
few further remarks wi’,l be sufficient to dispose
of it.
It involves no question which has not been
more than once fully considered by this Court.
Georgia, siuee she came into the Union as one
ol the original thirteen States, has never been a
State out ot the Union. Her constitutional rights
were, for a time, necessarily put in abeyance, but
her constitutional disabilities and obligations
were in no wise affected by her rebellion. The
same view is to be takeu ot the provision in her
organic law aud of the statute in question, as if
she had been in full communion with the sister
States when she gave them being.
Though her Constitution was sunctiond by Con
gress, this provision can in no sense be considered
an act of that body. The sanction was only per
missive as part of the process of her rehabilita
tion, and involved nothing affirmative or negative
beyond that event. If it we.e express and une
quivocal, the result would be the same. Congress
cannot, by authorization or ratification, give the
slightest effect to a State law or constitution in
conflict with the Constitution of the United
Btates. That instrument is above and beyond the
power of Congress and the States, and is alike ob
ligatory upon both.
A State can no more impair an existing contract
by a constitutional provision than by a legislative
act; both are within the prohibition of the na
tional Constitution.
The legal remedies for the enforcement of a
contract, which belong to it at the time and place
where it is made, are a part of its obligation. A
State may change them, provided the change in
volve no impairment of a substantial right.
If the provision of the constitutional or the
legislative act of a State, fall within the cate
gory last mentioned, they are to that extent
utterly void. They are, for all the purposes of
the contract which they impair, as if they never
existed.
The constitutional provision and statute here in
question are clearly within that category, and are,
therefore, void.
The jurisdictional prohibition which they con
tain with respect to the Courts of the State, can,
therefore, form no impediment to the plaintiff iu
error in the enlorcement of his rights touching
this judgment, as those rights are recognized by
this Court.—White vs. Hart, 13 Wall., 616; Von
Hoffman vs. the City ol Quincy, 535.
The judgment of the Supreme Court of Georgia
reversed, and the cause will be remanded to that
Court with directions to enter a judgment of re
versal, to reverse the judgment of the Superior
Court of Randolph county, and therefore to
proceed in conformity to this opinion.

A Fast Compositor.— In the office of a Wis
consin journal there is a compositor who sets
type so rapidly (says the paper) that the friction
ot hit movements lusts the leaden emblems in
his stick, making them solid, like stereotype
plates. The only way to prevent this is to have
his case submerged in water; and the rapidity of
his motions keeps the water boiling and bubbling
so that eggs have frequently been boiled in the
space box. Pipes lead from the bottom of his
case to a boiler in the press-room, and the stream
generated by the fast compositor’s movements
runs the power press. In one day he set so
mnch that it took ail hands, from editor to devil,
tiro weeks to res a the proof, acd it was’at his

“What Becomes or Editors;”
BY W. Q. C.
What becomes ot the Editors ?
That’s what we’d like to know;
They do a heap of good on earth,
And to Heaven ought to go ;
But something aeems to tell us,
They are a peculiar set,
And In the great hereafter
Will be “ left out in the wet.”
We’ve been thinking this question over,
And it troubles us a heap;
It comes to us in the daytime,
And with dreams disturbs our sleep ;
Bat the more we con the question,
The deeper it seems to get,
And briugs ns to this conclusion—
They’ll be “ left out in the wet.”
Now reason yourself a moment;
Would it do to let them In ?
Wouldn’t they go to interviewing,
And discussing everything 1
Wouldn't they have two parties,
And a lobby, too, to pet?
That thing would never do up there!
They’ll be “ left out In the wet.”
It’s very well to smile, sir,
And to say our heads ain’t level;
But did you ever know an Editor
Who didn’t keep a “ devil!”
You don’t suppose for a moment
That he in there could get,
And be a yelling “copy;”
They’ll be " left out in the wet”
There’s one more point we’ll mention—
We hope you won’t get offended—
But it’s “currently reported”
That the “free list is suspended.’’.
Now did you ever know an Editor
That has “pulled his weasel" yet,
They’re not agoing to do it there—
They’ll stay “ out in the wet.”
