DAILY TIMES. ColumbiiN, <*.# WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 1875. __ jr ■ -*••— <'. 11. WILI.MH*t • - MUr. Thf TIMM Olcf 1m in Ouuby'N Building (up-Uir), on Ht. f lair atrect, ——— ■ ■■■ 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. —-- • ♦ * Kountucr ol ■> Book 1,000 Poiinils OAficr fH tor Kupiarrsxloii at > Koynl Mrandol. 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.

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.

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. •I. W. DENNIS. .1 At BENNETT. Southern Stove Works, ( OLI MIU S.
