The Attorney General of Louisia

The Raleigh Observer gives an em
phatic contradiction to reports that
there Is a break in the Democratic
party of North Carolina, a portion
going over to the Republicans to sup
support Hayes. It says that not a
single prominent Democrat in the
State has “gone over.”
We learn from tho Standard that
the people of Talbot are again talk

to the Southwestern at Geneva. The
times are so hard, and enterprise of

that we are afraid nothing but. talk
can be done at present.

The Legislature of South Carolina
has before it “a no fence bill,”
which will probably meet the fate of
similar bills in Southern Legisla
tures. We notice, however, that tho
Lancaster paper speaks highly of the
benefits of a local “no fence” exper
iment in a portion of that South Car
olina distrlot., and says that the peo
ple affected by it will never go back
to the old fence system.

which he says that the troubles of
the bank, which impaired its credit,
arose from a claim of some of the
stockholders that they sustained a
different relation to tho bank from
others, aud a threatened suit in con
sequence. Ho says that tho debt of
the bank is about $-10,000, and that
he Is himself the largest creditor.

The Butler Herald, noticing the
slim meeting hold in its town on Sat
urday last to appoint delegates to the
District nominating convention,
says: “Taylor county is very indif
ferent on the Convention question.
No candidates: no excitement for or
against a Convention and barely
enough interest to get up a sufficient
number of men to appoint a set of
delegates. Not exceeding a dozen of
those living here in town were in tho
Court House during the meeting to
appoint the delegates. Indeed those
who attended seemed more inclined
to be away.”
Cotton.—We copy from tho New
York Bulletin an estimate of the re
ceipts of cotton for the balance of
tho our rent season, which makes tho
crop of the year very little short of
tne high estimate of -1,500,000 bales.
We believe that tho Bulletin's esti
mate of au average of over 10,000
bales per week from this time until
the Ist of Bej>tomber will Dot be
reached, and that consequently the
crop of the year will fall below its
mark. But it is evident that the crop
was too large for the demand, and
that any limitation of the crop to be
grown this year will be of advantage
to the planters.
The United States District Court
for the Southern District of Alabama
met In Montgomery on Monday—
Judge Bruce presiding. The jurors
summoned had been notified not to
attend, on account of the lack of
money to pay expenses. Consequent
ly thero can be no trial of criminal
or other cases requiring a jury. We
learn from the Advertiser that a good
many lawyers from a distance were
in attendance, that the docket was
sounded and do jury trials set for this
week; also that a special jury bos
has been summoned to try the case
of tbe Southern & Atlantic Telegraph
Company and the South & North
Railroad.
THE rONMTITI TIOVB •'HKPKIMKN
TATIVK MEN."
Wo copy tho Atlanta Constiution’s
reply to an Inquiry which we made
of it the other day, as to what it
meant by the “representative men”
whotna/onewo ought to send to the
Constitutional Convention. We ore
not at all surprised by our Atlanta
contemporary’s reply. Wo suspected
tbat by “representative mon” It
meant only mon who had made thom
selves prominent us party leaders or
political speakers, and for that rea
son we called upon it. We find not
tho slightest objection to either of
the prominent politicians and law
yers whom It mentions—think they
ought all to bo In the Convention.
But wo insist that the body ought
not to be composed exclusively of
such men. The Convention will have
to frame only organic or funda
mental law, it Is true, but it should
frame it in view of tho wants of every
great Interest In the Htate—agricul
tural, mechanical, commercial, pro
fessional, manufacturing, &c.; aud It
is therefore eminently fit that repre
sentatives of these great interests
should bo In tho Convention.
Are there no interests of tho farm
ers to bo considered, even in making
organic law? Wo see that the ques
tion which excites more interest
than any other in connection with
the Convention is that of tho home
stead, and the fanners are the chief
class to bo affected by it. That there
will boa homestead provision may
bo regurded as sottled, but a more
perplexing question is, shall the
homestead be voluntarily alienable
or inalienable? Are not tho wishes
of the farmers to be consulted in de
termining thisquestion?and who are
so well qualified to represent those
interests as tho farmers themselves?
Is either of tho three distinguished
politicians mentioned by the Consti
tution better qualified to present the
views of farmers on this subject than
Georgo W. Adams of Monroe, or
President Lewis of the North Georgiu
Agricultural College?
Other great interests may not ask
for any protective clauses in the Con
tltution, but they certainly have as
right to ask that no provisions inim
ical to them bo incorporated. These
things may bo done by organic law
as well as by statute. AVo see pro
positions made, and advocated with
much reason,to forbid the Legisla
ture loaning the credit of tho State to
any enterprises whatever.and to pro
hibit counties, cities, &c., from incur
ring debts. This may all bo right
and conservative. But the incorpo
rations ought to have “representa
tive men” to look after their interests
in this matter—to help the politicians
to a proper understanding of what is
right. One class of men cannot in
fallibly comprehend tho wisnes or
rights of every class, and the Consti
tution should with equal care guard
the rights and interests of all.
While, therefore, as the Constitution
contends, no man has a title to a seat
in tho Convention because ho is a
farmer, or a merchant, or a shoema
ker. tinsmith or peddler, all these
classes have interests and wants
which the Convention should under
stand, and which can well bo repre
sented by men of these or kindred
occupations.
And none of these are interests
which law-makers will haveto "stop”
to represent. Taken in the aggre
gate, they form a great State, and
the übsenee of either ono would de
tract from the greatness of the State.
No provision should be put into tbe
constitution without careful consid
eration whether it would not inju
riously affect sumo one of these or
other interests, and men should be
iu tho Convention who cun give it
information on this subject. The
politician or stump-speaker is a great
man in his way, but ho does not noe
ossarily know everything, and his
judgment is not infallible.
One leading object of tho Conven
tion is to Jffeot Retrenchment, and
Reform in the administration of the
State government, and the promise
of accomplishing this would not be
very encouraging if the body were
composed almost exclusively of the
same class of “representative” poli
ticians who always control the action
of our Legislatures. They have had
ample opportunity to do much in
this way by legislative action, but the
people have looked in vain for them
to do it. Let us havo a wholesome in
fusion of “representatives” of an
other class or other classes.
Tho Constitution's zeal in behulf of
a Convention is not so great and
unquestioned as to afford assurance
that it has fully satisfied itself that
the cause of tho Convention will be
strengthened by its advocacy of the
election of only "representative
men” of the kind which it suggests
ns delegates.
MUKHIVI CONTRACTION IN
i.Awri i..
We are glad to find such an able
and influential commercial aud finan
cial paper as the New York Bulletin
opposing Secretary Sherman’s late
arrangements with the Syndicate.
Tho Bulletin contends that the Secre
tary has no authority to sell bonds
for legal tenders aud with tho latter
to redeem tho fractional currency.
It quotes from the resumption act of
1875, to show that the only authority
given him was to redeem the frac
tional currency in silver. It says
that the Secretary already holds SO,-
000,000 of greenbacks devoted ex
clusively to the redemption of frac
tional currency, and that the belief
now is that but little more fractional
currency will be presented for re
demption. It says that it results,
therefore, (1) that the Secretary has
no authority for paying the fraction
al currency in legal tenders in the
way he proposes; (2) that very little
more of that currency, iu all proba
bility, will have to be redeemed; and
(3) that, under a special provision of
law, he holds already a larger
amount of legal tenders for such re
demption than is likely ever to be
called for.
The consequence must bo that tho
legal tenders reoelved for tho bonds
will be withdrawn from the circula
tion—held up ostensibly for the re
demption of fractional currency, but
really for the purpose of effecting a
force ami unlawful contraction. On
this point tho Bulletin says: "The
greenbacks thus taken into the Treas
ury will never come out ngain ; for
the occasion for which they are to be
held Is not likely ever to arise; and
some aay Congress will be asked to
authorize their cancellation. If this
bo Mr. Sherman’s method of ap
proaching resumption, he is not
likely to carry public confidence
along with him. It is resorting to
false pretenses to accomplish a pet
ty and wholly unnecessary result.
It will not in the least affect, the
ability of the Government to resume
iu January, 187‘J, whether there are
a few millions more or a few millions
less of legal tenders then outstanding;
and therefore Mr. Sherman’s Illegal
contraction cun bring no material
advantage to the Government, while
It will disturb public -confidence,
first by introducing a tricky, illegal,
pettifogging policy, and next by with
drawing the lawful money that will
be imperatively needed by the hanks
iu the event of a recovery of business.
Had Mr. Sherman intended to hold
the gold received from the sale of tbe
bonds as a reserve for the purpose of
resumption, we could havo under
stood his policy; although, as we
showed on tho 11th Inst., even that
is unnecessary; but when he propos
es to part with several millions of re
serve merely to get out of the way a
paltry portion of obligation, which
amounts to three or four times the
sum of the largest attainable reserve,
ho becomes a financier of most in
comprehensible methods. Mr. Sher
man deals a serious blow at tho credit
of the Government when ho resorts
to unlawful methods of conducting
the business of the Treasury ; and, if
he supposes that by this means he
can put down the premium on gold,
and thereby indirectly aid the opera
tions of the Syndicate, we predict he
will find the results disappointing.”
FROM -II ATT A HOOCH EE.
Editor Times: I have seen the
names of several men suggested to
represent thi3 county in tho Consti
tutional Convention, and while I
have nothing to say against any of
them, I now desire to present to the
people tho name of Robt. C. Patter
son as a man whom I think pecu
liarly fitted to represent our couoty
iu the Convention. Mr. Patterson is
a man of sound judgment—one who
has the interest of tho Dinner at
heart, and purity cannot be
questioned. am satisfied that with
Mr. Patterson as delegate thero will
be no danger of the Convention be
ing defeated iu

“KEPKESEM’ATI VK M EX."
From tho Atlanta Constitution.!
YVe cannot conceive how our con
temporary can misunderstand our
meaning when wo say that represen
tative men should be sent as dele
gates to the Convention. It certain
ly never was our intention to su\
that every leading business and oc
cupation, and every important inter
est and sentiment, should be repre
sented in the manner that, the Times
seems to understand representation.
A farmer has no special inter
est in tho framing of the or
ganic law simply because he is a
farmer. 8o with lawyers, merchants,
shoemakers, tinsmiths and peddlers.
These have no interest in the making
of anew constitution because of their
professions, trades or sentiments.
They have interests equal and alike
because they are citizens, and oulj
because they are citizens. Represen
tation, such as the Times alludes to,
may do very well for the Legislature,
but it will not do for a Constitutional
Convention. A representative man.
as we understand it, is one who is
wise enough, honest enough, patri
otic enough, and bold enough to
represent his fellow-citizens, and who
has both by his private and public acis
possessed himself of their entire confi
dence and esteem. Governor Charles J.
Jenkens is a representative man—so is
Judge Johnson — bo is General Toombs.
How absurd it would be to presume that
these men and men like them, in forming
anew constitution, would stoop to repre
sent a single interest. We repeat, there
fore, what we have so strentuously insist
ed upon all along that only the best men
—men who can safely be trusted to rep
resent and subserve all the interests of all
his fellow citizens—should be chosen.
HVTI.KK AXD THE PRESIDENT
AN INQUIRY INTO THE MISSISSIPPI MAS
SACRES.
New Yor* Tribune.]
Gen. Butler gives a lively account
of his interview with the President.
It must be given entire, for conden
sation would ruin it: “Yes, sir, I
have had a very delightful interview
and understanding with the Presi
dent. I told him I was delighted that
he had postponed the session, aud
that it would eventuate iu our being
able to organize the House. I told
him that if the Southern people be
haved themselves and kept their
pledges, it. would be the first time
they ever did so, and they should
have duo credit for their good
faith from mo. But I thought he
ought to have the recent murders
in the State of Mississippi inquired
iuto, as I was one of those who were
of the opiniou that t hey were outrage
ous massacres, caused by political
hate. He said the matter was being
inquired into. I gave him to under
stand that I had learned an effort
was being made to displace Dr.
Parker, postmaster ot Now Orleans.
He is my brother-in-law. Gen. Key
was in the room, and he was at once
reminded by the President that
Parker was not to be touched for the
present. I told the President that
Samuel Bowles was in the ante-room,
and that, perhaps, Adams was also
somewhere around, at which the Pres
ident looked alarmed, and I fol
lowed up my advantage by just
giving the President my opinion of
Samuel Bowles. I think I have
balked any game he was after. The
President asked me about tbe seven
schooner loads of paving stones from
Cape Aun Quarry, now lying at the
Washington wharves, and I told him
they were purchased by contractors,
and that it was the best stone in the
world. I did say a good woul for
Mullet, for he would always buy the
Cape Ann stone when he was archi
tect. The statements that I am on
bad terms with the President are
false. We will show tbs Democracy
next fall how we stand. lam going
to join in the oarapaign in Ohio iu
September next."
IIOM EMTEA II EXEMPTION*.
liniHirlnnt lltrlslon by Junttce Iti-adlry
From tin- Hftvnuusli News. IMh.]
Wo lay before our readers this
morning the clear, concise and able
opiniou of Mr. Justice Bradley, of
tho Supreme Court of tbe United
States, in tho case of Bass, a bank
rupt, which affirms the docision of
Judge Erskine. This decision oi
Judge Bradley’s settles the law on a
very important question ou the ju
risdiction of the Bankrupt Court in
matters of homesteads and exemp
tions :
Circuit Court United Stntrs, South
ern District of Georgia. Befoie
Bradley, Justice.
Iu re. Miles Bass, bankrupt. On
petition for review of decision of
District Judge upon ihe petition of
John F. Picket, assignee of said
bankrupt, specified iu said peti
tion.
The only property possessed by the
bankrupt in this ease, beyond the
articles exempted by the bankrupt
act ( amounting to five hundred dol
lars In value) was claimed by him as
Homestead property, under the Con
stiiution and laws of Georgia, and
therefore exempt from the claims of
ordinary creditors by tlie State law,
and it is conceded lhat if this Home
stead claim is admissible, the pro
perty is covered by it. But only one
creditor lias proved under tho bang
ruptcy, being a partnership firm, one
of whom was appointed assignee.
This debt is represented by several
promissory notes of tho bankrupt,
each of which contains an agree
ment to waive and renounce tho ma
ker’s right to Homestead and exemp
tion in iiis property as against that
contract.
Tho assignee applied for an order
to sell the property in question,
notwithstanding the claim of the
homestead right, an.l free and dis
chaiged therefrom. The District
Judgo refussed so to order on the
ground taken by the District Court
of this and other districts, that ttie
homestead secured to a person by
the State law is excepted by the
fourteenth section of tfie bankrupt
act, (Rev. Stat. sec 5045,) from tne
operation of the conveyance made to
the assignee, and is not subject to
the jurisdiction of the Bankrupt
Court, but must be pursued by those
who have claims against it, in the
proper State tribunals.
I think the position taken by the
District J udge is correct. Not only is
all property exempted by State laws,
as those laws stood iu 1871, expressly
excepted from the operation of the
couvevauce to tho assignee, but it is
added in the section referred to, as
if ex industria, that these exceptions
shall operate as a limitation upon
the conveyance of the properly of
the bankrupt to his assignee, and in
no caso shall tho property hereby
excepted pass to the assignee or the
title of the bankrupt thereto be im
paired or affected by any of the pro
visions of this title.”
In other words, it is made as clear
as anything can bo, that such ex
erupted property constitutes no part
of the assets in bankruptcy. The
agreement of the bankrupt in any
particular case to waive the right to
the exemption makes no difference.
He may owe other debts in regurd to
which no such agreement has been
made. But whether so or not. it is
not for the Bankrupt Court to in
quire. Tho exemption is created by
the State law, anil I tie assignee ac
quires no title to the exempt pro
perty. If the creditor has a claim
against it, he must prosecute that
claim iu a court which has jurisdic
tion over the property, which the
Bankrupt Court has not.
Nor does it make any difference
that the homestead was not ascer
taiued or set out in severalty uutil
after the proceedings iu bankruptcy
were commenced, or uutil after the
conveyance to the assignee was exe
cuted. Whenever properly claimed
and designated tho exemption pro
tects it, and the exception created by
the bankrupt act relates back to the
conveyance and limits its operation.
Though not designated when the
conveyance was executed, it was
cajiable of beiug designated, and on
the principle that id cerium est quod
certain reddi potest, it is as much en
titled to the benefit of the exception
as if it had been designated and set
apart before the bankruptcy occur
re*!.
And here it is proper to remark
that the assiguee in this case miscon
ceived his duty aud powers when he
assumed to judge that the bankrupt
was not entitledi to. a homestead.
That is for the court to say, and not
for him. It was his business to
report to the court whether the
propel ty claimed as homestead was
or was hot within the limit of value
which the laws of Georgia 'allow ior
that purpose. Unless the court has
this information, it cannot determine
whether the property claimed is fair
ly within the allowance for home
stead or not, and whether it has ju
risdiction over the property or not.
What equities might arise if there
were several creditors, and some of
them had a lien or claim against the
homestead property, and tho others
not, it is not necessary to decide.
Those who had no such claim might,
perhaps, properly object to those
having such a claim be ng allowed to
come in for a dividend against the
general assets, until they had first
exhausted their remedy against the
exempted property, on the principle
of marshalling assets. This would
depend on the question whether the
equity of the general creditors is su
perior to that of the bankrupt and
his family in reference to the
right of homestead and exemp
tion. In some cases, at least, the
equities might perhaps be equal,
iu which case the court would not re
quire the assets to be marshalled.
But even where tho right to mar
shalling existed the bankruptcy
court could uot assume jurisdiction
of the exempted property and order
it to be sold, but would require the
favored creditor to pursue his reme
dy against such property in a form
that could lawlutly reach it.
The decree of the District Judge is
affirmed with costs.
Dr. Samuel C. White, a distinguish
ed physician of Milledgeville, died in
that city ou Monday. He was in his
