Five prisoners escaped from the
jail of Thomas county on Friday
morning. They threw a bucket of
slops in the face of the Sheriff, and
rushed past him out of tho door. He
fired at one with his pistol, but they ,
all got off, and none had been cup- 1
tured up to Friday night.
The New Orleans Democrat says
that a member of tho Legislature of
Louisiana from the vicinity of Jack
son has Informed Gov. Nioholls that
the killing of Laws—out of which the
Radicals were trying to make party
capital—was a family matter betweeu
Laws and another nogro who had
taken Laws’ wife.
The Indianapolis Sentinel, com
menting upon Gen. Sherman’s
speech ut the New York Chamber of
Commerce dinner, says: “When the
Government comes to rely upon the
patriotism of tho people for its
maintenance rather than upon tho
soldiery, such meu as Gen. Sherman
will find their occupation gone. May
that time speedily come.”

Every report concerning the wheat
crop of this country is interesting,
in view of the present high price of
breadstuffs and prospective demand.
Nearly all our Georgia exchanges
represent this crop as very fine, and
no rust is reported. The only regret
is that more was not sown. In East
Tennessee the stand is reported to be
thin and the heads small; while in
West Tenuessee the yield Is estimated
at thirty or forty bushels to the acre.
The Memphis Avalanche has infor
mation that the crop in that portion
of the State will bo greater than for
years. This difference between East
and West Tennessee is doubtless
owing to the greater severity of the
winter in the mountain oouutry.
The proposition to reduce tho
standing army of the United States
to one-half its present foroe, or less,
meets with muoh favor. It is the
most expensive "establishment” of
the Government, and tho most use
less. In a time of peace, such ns wo
are most likely to have for some
time, ten thousand men are sufficient
to garrison all necessary forts, &c.;
and in time of war, either intestine
or with a foreign power, even double
the present army force would be in
sufficient. Tho Government would
have to rely on volunteers, who are
found to be the most efficient troops
in this country, and it would make
but Httlo difference what was the
number of the regular army—wheth
er ten or forty thousand. Tho prop
osition to cut down the present use
less military force ought to be
pressed by tho people of ail parts of
the country.

At OHIO V* LETTER.
Taken as ft whole, the letter of O,
P. Morton, of which wo published a
telegraphic synopsis yesterday, is a
doleful attempt to rally his party
upon the new plaform. This plat
form, he admits, Is very distasteful
to him, but he acknowledges the
neoessily of accepting tho situation.
President Hayes, ho says, could
not have sustained Packard,
Chamberlain and Kellogg if he
had attempted it. He would not
have received the support of either
branch of Congress, and Morton puts
it very gingerly by saying that “pub
lie opinion in his own party was
divided.” This is a distinct admis
sion that tho policy of ruling the
Southern States by Federal military
power, of which Morton was the
leading champion, had “played out.”
Hayes discovered that it had carried
the party to tho brink of perdition,
aud old Morton, who always
acted as if he never had a
fear of such a fate, grudging
ly admits that Hayes “snatched
him as a brand from the burning.”
We presume that our readers will
recollect that even before nayes took
the Presidential oatli we predicted
that this was the dire necessity to
which he would be forced.
Morton’s argument that the inglo
rious cud of Packard’s Legislature
docs not injuriously affect Kellogg’s
claim to a seat in the Senate, would,
to use his own language, “he" crim
inal if it were not supremely silly.”
Who is Kellogg to represent?
Would Morton say that if the
State of Louisiana, after tho election
of Kellogg’ had been destroyed or
in any way lost to tho Union, Kel
logg would still have a right to a scat
in the Senate for six years by virtue
of his election? And this is putting
the inquiry too favorably for Kel
logg, for the Senate would not admit
Kellogg even before tiio disruption
of the Radical Legislature, so-called.
Morton admits this. That Legis
lature was regarded by a majority
of the people of Louisiana, by the
Congressional llouso of Represen
tatives, uiul apparently by a majority
of the Senate, ns a fraud and Imposi
tion. It held its pretended authority
only by tho prop of a military force.
It never had a legal quorum, even
admitting its genuineness. When
left to stand upon its own footing
yea, even before the withdrawal of
tho Federal prop—it tottered and
fell, and those of the members who
had any titlo to seats in the Legis
lature went over to the Nich
olls body, thus virtually admitting
that tile lutter body was tho true
Legislature of Louisiana. For the
Senate of the United States to admit
Kellogg under these circumstances
would boas great an outrage and
absurdity as if it were to admit a
Senator from one of the States of
Mexico, and Morton knows it.
lie will find, when the Senate reas
sembles, that there are still other
things to which he and his party will
have to submit, not willingly, but
because they can’t help it.
A MEW M'MAEVriOV
A communication from Col. D. H
Burts presents the Homestead ques
tion in a now light. He contends
that if anew consti ution should be
adopted it could uot cover or protect
the Homestoad exemptions secured
under the constitution of 1868 against
judgment creditors—that with the
fall of tho present constitution its
immunities aud privileges would fall,
while old contracts aud judgments
would still exist. Col. Burts is a
good lawyer, and of course we can
not argue this point with him. Bur,
we were of the opinion that the two
constitutions would make so close a
connection as to bridge over any dif
ficulty of this kind. We thought
that as one constitution romaiued in
force up to the very moment of the
formal substitution of the other, aud
as tho one protected rights of this
kind up to that moment, nnd the
other took them immediately in its
charge, there could be no hiatus
permitting their lapse or destruction.
This is tho case with almost any
other succession, and if the system
of English law is deficient in this
conservative element, it seems to us
that it is not so much the “perfec
tion of human wisdom” as is claimed
for it. But wo do not intend to ar
gue the quostiou in a legal way. We
only present a common sense view,
aud iuvite the attention of legal
gentlemen to the points presented
in Col, Burts' communication.
THE PRESIDENT'S ATTITUDE.
HOW HAYES FILLS THE OFFICE.
During the ten weeks that Mr.
Hayes has been iu the White House
there has been a great rush of ap
plicants for office. At first the Pres
ident undertook to receive all of
these anxious ones in person, but the
mental and physical strain soon bo.
came more than he could bear. The
applicants now, when they cannot
obtain a personal audience, got some
influential person to intercede for
them whenever it is possible to do
so. Perhaps no occupant of the
White House ever possessed a
greater faculty of making himself
agreeable, while at the same time
preserving a perfectly non-committal
attitude than President Hayes. In
not more than two or three instances
in any of tho appointments that he
has made has he given any definite
promise in advance. Ho also takes
his own time in making appoint
ments, and no amount of pressure
can induce him to precipitate action.
This course he pursues not only
where an appointment necessitates a
removal, but where there is a vacan
cy to be filled. Indeed, nearly all
his appointments are of the latter
class, as you can easily count the re
movals he has made on your fingers.

♦ •
Editor Time#: Homestead exemp
tions Imvo not been legally eonsid
ered by your numerous correspon
dents on the ail-absorbing question
of a Convention and anew Constitu
tion. Homesteads heretofore granted
under tho Constitution of 1868 will be
void when that Constitution is
for the following legal reasons:
The Constitution of 18G8
allowed debtors to aval lthem
selves of the grace and favor of its
provisions of exemption from sale
of their property by creditors ap
plying to the Court of Ordinary and
having such of tneir property, real
and personal, set apart by schedule
of description, us they might select,
to the amount of $2,000 in land and
SI,OOO in personal property. This ex
emptlon from sale by the Constlfu
tiou does not affect or attack the
debts owed by tho debtor. The judg
ments and 11 fa’s against debtors re
main good and valid —only held iu
suspense as to the property set apart
in the exemptions. These judgments
are vested rights of creditors of the
highest grade and are their prop
erty, and cannot be annulled or de
stroyed by the Legislature or the
Constitution, no more than your tithe
deeds to your laud or your legal right
to your horse or other property owned
by you. Vested rights are sacred—
beyond the power of Legislatures or
State Constitutions. No power in a
State can destroy or impair your le
gal judgment against me and against
my property. You have a vested
right to sell sufficient of my property
to pay your judgment. But this can
only bo doue by process of such
courts of law as are established by
tho Constitution, and that Constitu
tion may also provide for the suspen
sion of the enforcement of that pro
cess only on debts or judgments con
tracted or obtained after the adoption
of such Constitution. All laws, in
cluding constitutions, are prospec
tive—operate on the future and future
debts, are not aud cannot have any
retrospective operation, destroy no
rights acquired before their adoption.
Homesteads and exemptions,grant
ed under the Constitutioriof 1868, are
but privileges for the time being
mere grace and favor, dependent on
the constitution that granted it
aud not vested rights. And
when the constitution that grants
this favor is repealed, abolished or
substituted by another constitution,
the new constitution can only bind
and take effect in the future and
operate on future contracts, judg
ments and process of courts—cannot
act retrospoctusly upon the vested
rights of judgment creators, who
with the repeal or abolition of the
constitution of 1868, will turn loose
upon the homestead property the fl.
fas. from every judgment obtained
since 1808; and no provision of the
new constitution ean arrest, hinder
or delay the execution of every pro
cess issued by tho courts upon a
legal judgment since the homestead
exemptions were granted bv
the constitution of 1868.
When that constitution is abol
ished, ail the favors, mercy,
privileges and graces fiowiing there
from as,to now existing rights will go
with it, as well as its errors, corrup
tions, frauds, and its many unjust
principles and provisions. But this
affects only the debtor. What will
be the effects upon the criditors? A
repeal of tho Constitution of 1868 will
jeopardise tho collection of every
doubt contracted under it—especial
ly where part of the contract is ex
pressed to boa waiver of Constitu
tional privileges; and this faet was
the motive that prompted both par
ties to the contract. They can have
no pretection or aid by tho courts
under the new Constitution to en
force any contract thus make out
side of and independent of the organ
ic law of the State at the time. It is
a mere moral obligation. When
taken from under the law that allows
such to be done.
Are the people ready for the conse
quences of these changes? Can they
survive amid the cries of the sheriff’s
sales? Whose property is free from
levy? Every man that is in debt will
be liable to have his property sold;
for the liberal exemptions of the Con
stitution of 1877 will not apply to
debts contracted before July, 1877.
These are some of the evils of a re
peal of tho Constitution of 1868.
What is the remedy? For we must
have a convention; private and pub
lic good demands it. My remedy is,
call the Convention; amend the old
Constitution: keep the good and ex
pungo the bad by proposed amend
ments, to be submitted to the people
for their approval. By this way only
eao tho evil consequences be
avoided. If this be impracticable,
then I warn my fellow-citizens to
move cautiously in the repeal of the
old, and adoption of new constitu
tions. The people must act for them
selves—do not trust politicians; in
vestigate and act for yourselves.
Truly, D. 11. Burts.
Lincoln county corresponded McDuf
fie Journal: Bob Cade, an aged old negro
who has been ferryman at Libson, in this
county, for many years, died a short, time
since. He told his sons, Abe and Henry,
before he died, that he had two buckets
of money buried, and told them how to
proceed to find it after his death Said
he: “Th-ce days after lam dead, go on
the Elbert county bank ;of Broad river,
just above the ferry, and dig between a
tree (specifying the kind) and a stump,
you will find there two tin buckets, one
buried in 1837, and the other since con
taining $460, which I give to you.” Sure
enough, at the time appointed Abe and
Henry done as directed, and found two
buckets with $460.25. One bucket bad
entirely decayed except the handle. He
told them he had a pint cup of gold
hid but would not tell them where it was,
saying “it will do you too much good all
at once.” This is really true as I have
been informed by the’ tax receiver of
this county, who saw part of the money.
•secretary Mhemian’a Fallejr at Rr
■omptlnn.
Oorretpondmc* New York Bulletin.]
Washington, May 22.— T0 talk to
the Secretary of the Treasury now
about his financial policy is one of
tbose mean duties that almost makes
a correspondent Teel that he has lost
his manhood, for the Secretary has
been pestered to death by uninitiated
scribblers und his short sayings have
been tortured into the most outrage
ous propositions bv mere theorists,
who seem to get hold of his Ideas by
the wrong end. And theSecretaiy
himself is to some extent to blame,
been use he has dropped sentences
that have set intelligent men to work
in the wrong direction aud muddled
published results.
I have called on Secretary Sher
man several times of late ; aud each
iloie he grew fldgetty, and if not
nervous, yet anxious to avoid the
issue, and said among other things
that he had refused to talk with any
of the New York hankers in a way
that would divulge his policy. He
admitted, practically, that he was
preparing a statement, but might
uot issue it till Congress met in Oc
tober.
On tho whole, I conclude that, for
ihe present, Secretary Sherman has
no fully matured financial, plan, no
financial ]>oliev. beyond the general
opinion thut he can, by a little legis
lation, carry the Resumption Act of
1875. How he really will do it, he
knows no more than you do; but
how lie will try to do it, I think I
can state truly, as the matter now
stands.
First. Tho Resumption Act is be
lieved by tne best lawyers here to be
as elastic as a eailsthentc rubber, aud
that the Secretary can do very much
as he pleases uuder it. It is an un
disputed fact that he ean, under it,
issue even 5 per cent, bonds, though
there is not one for sale at the Treas
ury, aud though every dollarof them
authorized by the Funding Act has
been sold. But he will sell 4Js or 4s,
whichever he can, outside the Fund
ing Act, and might even go so far as
to sell fives. Beyond that he would
like a greenback four to fund the le
gal tenders in.
Second. He seems to have an idea
that the terras of the Resumption
act are liberal enough to authorize
the accumulation of greenbacks with
out regard to the $300,000,000 limit.
It will be remembered that in the
Tree banking programme, which al
lows a bank to surrender or increase
its circulation, 80 per cent, of green
back must be retired for every 100
per cent of new bank currency issued
until such action had reduced the
outstanding legal tenders to $300,-
000,000. There are now $361,000,000
nui standing, and even outside of the
limit there is a good field to work in.
But he does not seem to care much
about that limit, though the preju
dice against contraction may yet
change his base in view of the Octo
ber election in Ohio. This very
doubt, or rather question of expedi
ency, has very much to do with his
nervous seeresy.
Third, Then, as to the quiet part
that silver has to play in this matter.
It was at first intended that the is
sues of silver were to replace frac
tional currency; but as silver could
not be got fast enough through pre
senting fractional curreuey in
exchange for it, the Treasury
was authorized to issue silver
coin, to tho extent of $10,000,000,
iu exchange for legal teuders,
the legal tenders so received, to he
held as a special fund for the re
demption of fractional notes. There
is very little fractional outstanding
currency that is likely ever to be
presented for payment. Of the sll,
500.000 of tho first, second and third
issues, there is probably not more
than half a million that will ever
come in to he redeemed. This
special fund of legal teuders may be
augmented to $10,000,000, aud the
notes constituting it the Secretary
anticipates may be destroyed by
order of the next Congress before
December, because it represents a
liability that can he met by ageueral
order for contingency pay meuis. So
you see, while the accumulation
of legal tenders exchanged by
the public for silver w.li make a
nice inroad into the legal tender cir
culation, the Secretary does not, iu
the eye of the law as he leads it, but
he does iu fact, contract the legal
leader circulation through the ex
change of silver, while he expects
Congress will be certain to caueel
these notes on the score of any re
serve for the redemption of fractional
currency being useless.
It is useless to deny that the very
essence of the Secretary’s policy is lo
contract, directly or indirectly, the
legal tender issues. In fact he re
gards that as a fuuction he must
exeseise under the Act. The Secre
tary’s is so bold a proposition that
no one ean wouder at his hesitancy.
Meantime, rest assured that the
financial policy of the Administra
tion has not yet become a plan be
yond its geasral features, ad even
they will sustain a severe overhaul
iug before a week hence. They may
even be entirely changed. Let me
assure you agaiu, that the Secretary
holds a belief that he can hold, but
not cancel legal tenders; and that
seems to be the bottom of his pres
ent idea, which might, before it
ripens from a scheme into a policy
or a plan, be dropped and some other
scheme or policy be adopted.

Mr. ■llilt-ii and me Electoral Count.
Special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.]
Washington, May 22. —An eminent
citizen of Alabama, who passed
through Washington yesterday on
his way back from New York, had,
while in that city, an interview with
Mr. Tilden. He said to Mr. Tildeo
that the people of the South were
convinced that he had been fairly
and lawfully elected to the office of
President of the United States; that
the people of that section, in com
mon with great body of the people of
the United States, thought that Mr.
Tilden, as the lawfully elected ruler
of the country, should have taken
early after the election a decided at
titude, and insisted upon his rights;
t tat had he done so, and the proper
announcement of the vote of the
electoral colleges been prevented,
the House of Representatives would
have elected him according to the
forms of law, and made itself respon
sible for his induction into the office
which belonged to him.
Mr. Tilden listened intently to the
remarks of his visitor, a gentleman
nearly twenty years his senior. He
replied that he’had thought carefully
and most conscientiously over the
subject in all its possible phases;
that he had become convinced that
should he adopt the course suggest
ed it would be resisted by the Radical
party to the extent of drenehiug the
laud in blood ; that he shrunk from
the responsibility of precipitating
another terrible civil war upon his
countrymen, and consented to the
compromise which'averted so dread
a disaster. He felt as keenly as any
one the impropriety of the means by
which the present result had been
brought about, but, for all that, be
did not regret, his own action. As it
was the people of the United S r ats
understood it; the Democratic party
to-day occupied such a proud atti
tude before it, and no mortal power
could resist its triumphal march to
success in 1880.
