Thr Homoieiiil law.
Frqm nil quarters comps the cry of
utVmveotf on.iin order that the Horae
stead law may bo modified. We ere
In favor of every man's paying his
honest debts at any sacrifice, and
think the country will only be pros
permia when men promptly meet
their obligations. The Homestead
law, as it now stands, exempts from
levy and sale three thousand dollars
In gold. That amount is too great,
measured by the pecuniary condition
of our jKMiplo, for these days three
thousand dollars, in excess of indebt
edness, is quite a large and unusual
sum for one man to own. Many frauds
are committed under the present law,
and ninny just debts evaded; yet they
cannot be remedied, without u law to
reduce the Homestead. Home argue
t lint the Homestead law should lie re
pealed entirely, and that every dollar
a man lias should be subject to his
debts. To this we dissent. There are
people to be thought of by our Legis
lature, other than the creditor class.
Tho debtor class have some rights
which must be respected. It would ,
do very well to make all of a mail’s I
property subject to his debts, oven to j
the matt row* he slept on, and the
cooking utensils of the family; but
when we reflect tliat innocent women
and children might suffer, wo must
pause, and provide for thqm a safe
guard against want and penury.
Self-preservation is the first law of
nature, and that principle is em
bodied In every one of us. If the hus
band and father is reckless in specu
lation and debt, is it right that the
devoted wife and affectionate children 1
should be turned out in the pitiless
storm of a creditor’s rage? Are there j
not eases where tho merciless Hhy- j
lock should be kept at bay, uud tho
humble roof protected for the de
fenseless wlfeand children. We think
so, uud are in earnest support of a
law that saves to the head of a family,
a small support, not. for the debtor's
use, but for tho use and supportof Ids
family. The women and children need
such proctortion at the lumds of our
law-givers, and they should, at least,
have a shelter and a small pittance,
that should bo sacredly their own,
and placed beyond the roach of their
or their husband’s debts.
Our Farming Inlrrrsl.
Those of our readers who give little j
or no heed to this question, will j
stand amazed when they are told!
that nine-tenths of the farmers within
a radius of fifty miles of Columbus |
will lie compelled to abandon or very j
materially lessen their farms this
year, unless they can obtain assis- j
lance from capitalists. This fact is
not to be attributed to them, but to ;
the short crop and unforeseen dltfi-1
eulties that, encompassed the lust
year’s operations. Following the |
disastrous crop, comes the limitation
of the Hen law, and the consequent!
failure to get supplies, as merchants
will not make or contract to make;
advances without some adequate!
security,
Suppose tho Legislature refuses to
re-enact the lien law. What will be
the result ’? It is plain to tho mind
of any one that the entire State will
he in a worse condition next year
than this; for after all, the wealth
of a State depends solely upon its
agricultural interest, and without
agriculture (lie State must become ,
bankrupt, it, is a fact Uiut tho urea
planted will be considerably less
than last year, besides the Increase j
In vagrants, thieves, &e., for many |
laiiorers will fail to get work, owing I
to the fact that the number of acres
planted will not require the force!
now among us.
The Legislature should' imtnedi-,
ately act upon tills matter, before it;
is too lute for the farmers to pitch
their crops. They had better let the j
Code alone for awhile, and legislate ,
upon this lnqiortunt subject . Let the
jieople know whether they are to
have the privilege of making a
crop this season or not, that 1
they may make their arrange
ments. Let the commission mer- !
('hunts know that they will lie secure
in their advances to the fanners, be
fore they make other disposition of
their capital. The time is short, and
we hope our Legislature will speak ;
out atomic upon this matter.

BibliophUists and dealers in old
books have had their curiosity and
avarice excited in the last, three days
by a placard in which is offered a re
ward of one thousand pounds in gold
for a certain book. The mystery is j
to learn the name of the volume and
what there is about it that makes it i
so precious. The only Information ;
given in the placard is that it is a cer
tain book printed in London, by T.
Jackson, of Newgate street, in is;to.
with the name of M. Lindsell, Pater
noster row, on the title page, as pub
lisher. It says that the Lord Chan
eelior prohibited the publication of I
the work because it contained senti- i
meats regarding a member of the
royal family. An address in Duke ,
street. London, is given as tin' place
where the reward will bo paid.
There is only one copy of the name
less liook in tlve United States, ae- i
cording to tlie circular.
Why the title of the book for which
a sum is offered equal to that adver
tised for the recovery of the $200,000
worth of family jewels stolen from
Lady Dudley, is not given, is some
thing that the blbllophilista cannot
understand. The reward is tho most;
extraordinary in their experience.
The year 1880 was tho one in which !
the fourth and last of the Georges who j
sat on tho throne of England died. '
The monarch's life was the subject of
many scandals, some of which found ,
their way into print, and were sulise
quently suppressed by the Govern
ment.—.V. V. Sun.

C'nuveution—Legislative Summary.
Atlanta. Ga., Jan. 29,1875.
j Before entering into the gossip of
j the Capitol, may I ask whether or
not mi outsider may spuak upon the
(question of a monument in Colum
bus? I am emboldened to do so,
I after reading so much upon thesub
| jeet from sources whence neither
sympathy nor assistance should have
| been expected or asked. If any ad
vice from such quarters fulls short of
i intrusion, then indeed may I speak
; without four of being considered offi
cious. It must gratify every soldier
to witness the steadfast manner in
which your ladies have taken the sa
cred duty in hand, regardless of the
thrilling appeals in behalf of the
children ‘‘starving in ignorance.”
This is deprived of much of its pa
thos when tho reader remembers that
' it was written In the very shadow of
your Public Schools, and in sight of
an Orphan Asylum whieli has never
yet been filled. If a list of these un
fortunate children and the “noble!
living, maimed and helpless” sons is
prepared, I will warrant that the la
dies of Columbus will minister to
j their wants, as well as erect the mon
| ament to tlic beloved dead. Let no
I suggestion of postponement, however
“respectfully urged,” meet with any
consideration beyond a sterner deter
mination to carry to completion a
1 work in which full sympathy cart not j
lie expected save from those who j
suffered and gave up loved ones for
the cause.
“And thegravssof tile dead witli tic grass
overgrown,
May yet tone the footstool of liberty’s I
throne.”
Do these lines explain why some j
would gladly see the graves of our
■ dead heroes to memory lost? They
, may feel “that the triumphs of might
are transient; they pass ami are for
gotten; the sufferings of right are
graven deepest”; and they may fear
i that “truth, though crushed to earth,
will rise again” hence would oblit
erate nil that would tie us to the past,
j Almost a decade has rolled by, and
a sacred duty hus been deferred year
after year under the plea of jioverty.
Let us rejoice that this jiroerastlna
tiou has hod an end.
You will remember that Hon lb E.
Lester was defeated in his recent con
test for the Mayoralty of Savannah, j
During the very heated canvass the
Advertiser made some comments so \
distasteful to Mr. Lester that lie vis
ited Savannah looking to a settle
ment with Mr. Sims, the editor. It !
1h stated to-day that the matter lias
been amicably, and of course honor
ably adjusted.
The Railroad Convention of all
lines working to this section from the
east will reassemble at the Kimball
House tomorrow. The Virginia A
Tennessee having declined to go into !
tlie combination, ttie mooting to
morrow has been called to see what'
can lie done. It will not touch the !
question of eotlon and other freights
going eastward, but will merely con
sider tlie south-bound business.
The following apportionment of the
freight business was then mndoto \t
lanta:
Georgia llailroa.l 48 per cent.
Central Railroad. 92 per cent.
Air-Line Railroad. 20 pet cent.
Total 100
The scheme is to work this way;
The railroads will make no special ef
forts after freights, but will take what
comes to them. At the end of the
month a settlement will lie made and
balances adjusted to meet the demand
of ttie schedule its quoted above. For
! Instance, let us say that at the end of
the first month, the Georgia Railroad
has received GO per cent, of the freight
business, by tho schedule it is enti
tled to 48 per cent, lienee on the 12
per cent, surplus it has received, it is
bound to charge only the cost of ear
-1 Tying (1 cent per ton per mile), and
pay over the profits, on the 12 per
I cent, surplus, to a middle agent, who
j will pay it to the road that lias lost
j the 12 per cent, of business which the
(Georgia Railroad lias gained. This
! middle man this agent who balances ,
i up the aeeountsof tlie roads monthly,
THIS HVMAN CLEARINO-HOI’SE,
I bus yet to be chosen. Ho will lie uleot
| ed soon, and wiR speedily get to work.
Besides this division, certain towns •
on the railroads were 'given entirely!
t,i certain railroads. For instance,
Columbus has been given to the Cen
tral Railroad. All the freights of Co
lumbus must go by the Central Rail
roud. Lei us suppose that a Colum
bus merchant desired to ship by tlie
Air-Line Railroad, this road will not
send the goods any further, on
through freight prices, than Atlanta.
Wlien they reach here they are charg
ed local prices from here to Colum
bus, which will amount to more than
the whole cost of the same freight
j from New York to Atlanta. Tlie mer
| chant will find that the other roads
are under the same agreement, and
lie will lienee ship altogether by the
Central Railroad. So Rome is given
to the Virginia and Tennessee Air
j Line Freight Line,
j Asa natural consequence of this
( amicable elimination of competition
1 from the railroad business, the freight
j tariff was at once advanced from the
| present prices to tlie old tariff and
j classifications of May 12th, 1873. Our
' merchants will know what this means.
For the benefit of the general public,
we will state that it is a considerable
lifting of the freight tariff. Tho new
schedule will take effect on February
1 8th. _ Occasional.
I (jrr.KV. Mr. Editor: Can you in
form an humble seeker after informa-
I tlon how many “silver tungued ora-
I tors" there are now in Georgia, how
' many of the “most promising men in
the country,” how many “wonderful
i ability’’ men. and how many who w ill
one dav reach tlie "zenith of political
power,’’as well as how many cap
tains, majors, colonels and generals j
who acquired the title by polities and
not by war? As I am collecting sta
tistics for an edition of “American
Notes,” by an American, your answer
will much oblige. Rhivate.

BLOODY ATTACK UPOJj TUK JAMES BOVS
NP.AK KEAHNEY, MlSSOritl.
Hpceial Dispatch to the Courier-Journal,) .
Kansas City. Mo., Jail. 2(1. This
morning about half-past 1 o’clock an
attempt was made to eapt uro the cel
ebrated James boys at their home 1
three miles from Kearney, a small
station 24 miles east of this city, op
the Hannibal and St. Joe Railroad.
A reporter of the Kansas City Timer
visited Kearney this evening and ob
tained the following part leu lan> from
Sheriff John S. Gromit:
The parents of the James boys arc
named Samuels, their mother having
married since her first husband’s
death. Their house is situated in a
thick woods and no house within a
half mile either way a most drears
spot. The family was first awakened
by some noise, when Samuels arose
(and went outside to ascertain the
j cause.
He found the house on fire, and, af
ter putting it out. he returned inside,
i where he discovered a hand-grenade
j(a smill bomb-shell) laying on tlie
; iloor, and Mrs. Samuels attempting
to throw it into the fire, not knowing
j what iff was. He ignorantly picked
it up and threw it into a large fire
place. The whole family had by this
time conic in, and almost immediate
ly it exploded, wounding four of the
family. Mrs. Samuels lost nit arm;
a child eight years old was killed,
and two others were injured. This
hand-grenade had been thrown in 1
t hrough the window.
Firing commenced outside, and
from the tracks of horses and men it
is evident that a severe conflict ensu
ed. The James boys were either in
the house or the barn and going out
the battle commenced. It is impos
sible to tell who or how many were
wounded. Blood was found about
the fenoes and back of the house.
The wounded were carried of into the
wood, as was shown by the bloodv
tracks.
The reporter could gather no fur
ther particulars. The whole vicinity
is in great excitement and men fear
that the town w ill be burned, and
anything mav be hourly ex]>eeted.
It is supposed that Pinkerton's detec
tives, assisted by men in the neigh
borhood, are the ones who made the
attack. Some suppose that the
James boys are captured. Further
facts will be elicited to-morrow.
