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.

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.

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.” ATLANTA ADVERTISEMENTS.
