THE MESSKiMiEK. I. C. MAPI i: R, J 2 -lito r. LAFAYKTTK, GA. Jvs. 13, ISM The Hew Year. Eighteen hundred and oiiu CitmoD in cheerfully. Wo have hml tin* gloomiest of skips, but the New Year is laden with promise. The flush time* <>f Georgia are not here, hut there has bleu money in the land, atnl every department of husincM has Alt its influence. The dawn of a better day is at Inst upon us. The clouds are scattering and the sun of prosperity b lighting up the land. Oar own iin mediate section has much cause forcongrut nlation. Merchants, manufacturers, and farmers are hopeful,anil all ex pect 1881 to bring the fruition of the hopes inspired by the past year. We hear of numbers of new part nerships, tho building of new stores, the fouuding of new homes. It will be the pleasant duty of the JdKssKNuKit to note every additional evidence of the enterprise and pros perity of our people. And to every honest venture of our citizens whether matrimonial, social, politi cal, or mercantile, wo will assure heartiest co-operation and encour agement—and as lime rolls on we hope to he able to speak of the neat churches, the well paid pastors, the commodious school housec filled with scholars, and presided over by thoroughly qualified nod spp eciated teachers, and above nil ol the united neighborhoods, and happy homes of our laud. The South as Seen by Northern Kyes. Colonel A. K. McClure of tne Philadelphia Times in his last let ter says: "The South is not animated by parti san ho.-tility to ihe coming I resident On the contrary, there is every disposi tion to commend and support eordially ant to blame with reluctance. There is no dft-.iro to command tho spoils of _*wer, butt there is an earnest and al most univcisal desire for peace—that peace that honest government should cv*r give to an honest peoplo. Tho su preme want of the South is a thorough ly competent and upright civil serviee, and that should nut he sought as a fa Tor Aom any faithful President, It is not only a matter of right to every sec tion, but it is a matter of imperative duty on the part ot the government. "The one great peri! to the South for which I can see no immediate remedy, Is now the inevitable devision nl the white vote of the South, and the certain appeal of contending factions to tho blacks as the arbiter of disputing ambi tion. I have until recently shared the | very general belief of tho North, that i the division of the white vote of the South must lie fortunate for the black , voters, as it would create rivalry in ex- . tending the fullest protection to tho , black*. lam now thoroughly oonvino- , ed, aeainst all my wishes, that the nec essary and now near division of the ( whites will bo fruitful of great demoral ization toboth races, and that it will he the severest trial of the wisdom of uni- versa! sulfrage. There is now nothing | to demoralize the black man, or to divert , him from his industry and the educa tion of his childrens lie is rapidly be coming tho owner or lasso* of lands, 1 and his uwn farmer, and is, in many in- 1 stances, accumulating wealth with hah- 1 its of iudustry ; hut when the white man ’ locks horns with his fellow in tho hat- ’ tie of ambition, the most artful dema gogues will best control the ignorant freedmen and the degradation of both races must follow. The factory and the school must be tho great civilizer of the South, and lam glad to seo that Nor thern and Southern Radicals; agreed in the United State* Senate in nationaliz ing cdueatiou. It is needed in the South to an extent far beyond what is generally understood in the North and there will he no material elevation of the hlark r«ec until the ignorant classes of both whites au J blacks van he edu cated. There is cordial sympathy, as a rule between the intelligent w hites and blacks—much more than there is be tween the whites and blanks iu the North. The manufacturer* of the North must »oon go South with their cottou spin dles and iooms, and those who go earli est will reap the richest harvest. Those who say that capital is not safe iu the South either know not what they ray or tuean to be uutrutbfu’. In every South ern Stale there is a supreme desire to have the factory everywhere that tho raw material iv furnished. The cotton arop of this year will be worth three hun died millions of dollars, and when situ ply spun into yarn will be worth nearly three hundred millions more. Where in all the world is there so wide and so j tempting a field for legitimate enter- , prise and largo posits ? I believe that half tho whole cotton product will be spun in tho South before another ten j years, and the succeeding decado will furtush Souther* fautories for the entire i crops.” A thousand pci sons, mostly women; I are employed in engraving and print- ' itig Govermmmt money urn! band notes at Washington. They arc so strictly watched during work horns that they j look upon themselves then as pris- , oners. Lun Far Earnicr*. The pc.-pip in general know less about the system of Homestead laws than any law in furcu to the the same extent in Georgia. Home stead is merely a statute law. It is not like a common law that has . effect in»every Stale units* restrict ed by statute. The Homestead law 1 was enacted for tho protection of the poor laboring nu*n of the Stale. , The right* of a person claiming ; the protiction (if '.hi* law i* pc-j enliar and interesting. It came in ! force under the C institution of I 1868. There w.*s prior to this date J * ! what was commonly known a* the j : “Puny Homestead." It was in I force and known as “Schedule. The Homestead law* of 1868 and 187 l differ. The Constitution of ’OB ’ provide* that every head of a fam ily may take shelter from tho ofli- I* J cer* unde r this lawg-xcept front the • following debts: ‘ Taxes, money borrowed aod < xpe|ided[in the im 1 provemerit of the Homestead, or ' for purchase money of the same, and for labor done thereon, or um ' terial furnished, or removal of in cumbrances thereon.” Homestead ' of 1877 provides the same except ! the clause, “Money borrowed and expended in the improvement of ‘ the Homestead," is stricken out Parties who have taken the Home ’ ste.id have the tight to sell their Homestead and ro-invest the same 1 by order of the Judge of the Su perior Charts of this State. Waiver oi the Homestead and exemption laws of this State can now apply to persons only who are worth prop erty not below recited as it can not bo waived on th following property “Wearing apparel, and not exceed ing three hundred dollars of house hold nod kitchen furniture, and to ho selected by himself and wife, if any.” A waiver of the Home stead of 1808 might apply to any property of the Homesteader, pro vided tho waiver recited on what particular property it applied. A general waiver is worthless. This also applies to tho present Mjme stoad and Exemption laws. R. M. \V. Gi.en.n. REM ERA h NEWS.

I ,j , ward lo doubt onee upon it lime w heth er Ibe hatred was notofartiJicinl origin and wholly indueed by the Inveterate ' habit ot edging on every dog to w orry B every other animal that comes lit Its ‘ ' nay. Hut I tried a mild experiment ,• ; one day by putting a half-grown town* f breed puppy Into an inclotiire with some bithcrlo-unworried calves, , and they ull turned to inaAeacom . | toon headway against the intruder , with the Htitno striding unanimity f. as tlie most ancient and experi . 1 meed cows. Hence, lam inclined to suspect that the antipathy does actually result from a vaguely-in , I herited instinct derived from the days when the ancestor of our kinc was « wild urus. and the ancestor of our dogs a wolf, on the wild, forest-clad plains of Central Europe. When a cow puts up its tail at sight of a dog entering its paddocA-, at the present day, it has probably , some dim, instinctive conscious ness that it stands in the presence of of a dangerous, hereditary foe; and, as the wolves could only size with safety a single isolated urus, so the cows usually make common cause agai: st the intruding dog, ■ turning their heads in one direc tion with very unwonted unanimi ty till his tail finally dis appears , under the opposite gato. Such inherited antipathies seem common and natural enough. Ev ery spec ea knows and dreads the ordinary enemies of its race. Mice scamper away from the very smell ofacat. Young chicA-ers run to the shelter of their mothers wings when the shadow of a hawA passes over their heads. Mr. Darwin put a small snaA'o int* a paper bag, which he gave to the monAeys at the Zoological Garden; and one monAey after another opened the j bag, looAcd in upon the deadly foe j of tho quadrutnous A-ind, and promptly dropped the wholo pack age with every gesture of horror and dismay. Even man himself— though his instincts have all weak j ened so greatly with tho growth of! his more elastic [intelligence adapt ed to a wider and more modifiable set of external circumstances— j seems to retain a vague and orig- j i a terror of tho serp<n'.ine form, j — St. Janien' Gut tie.
