Last wsek we conveyed to nar readers th .1 newt that the legislature had agreed to adjourn on Monday. Tliia week wear able to communicate the better utl that it did ndjourn oa that day. We liar tan unable to give our readers the proceedings' of that very remarkable lady, promising to inform t!it -I, if what it did aa soon aa we were able. We. therefore, to the exclusion of much other Interesting matter, publith the law, passed during the last days of the sees ion, tn relatiou to the homestead. An examination ot this law win reveal the tact tbat every man's homestead la to be exempt from execu tion whetlter he makes application to have tame sot apart or not. If lie duaataot attaod to the matter himself the law makes it the duty of the Sheriff to have it atteudrd to for him. This ia. no doubt, what the constitu tion contemplates. It also provides that where a jnau dica aeised of lands hie widow or children may avail themselves of the home stead. We also publish aa many of the captions of the acta of the Legislature, aa we eon con veniently make moan, res sr viag the remain - ,lu until ,.ri " W I Wll Will r"t in (be first column so that they may Ve found I the State to subscribe stock (V Railroad Companies- An act concerning Townships, Au act concerning estates of insolvent debt- posed Me Ardle wonld be discharged on the ground that certain parts of the recon struction acta, which were not strictly po litical, were unconstitutional while con ending tbat any cast involving thu un constitutionality of the political parti of the act wonld be dismissed for waul of ju risdiction.

I'uesioent Grant, who waa all aloag understood to favor the Stuart-Baldwin more inent In Virginia naa proven mat tne conn denee ce posed In him by the authors of that movement was not misplaced. Ou last weak, but a few days before the close of the sea- . . , am . -an sion, he sent in nis nrsi message w uuugress. It was a very brief and practical document. and urged upon Congress the duty of ot pi -ting the work of reconstruction at once He recommended the passage by that body before its adjournment, of a law authorising the Executive to submit to a vote of the peo pie of those States the Constitutions recent ly framed by the conventions of Virginia, Miseisgippi and Texas, with power toaubmit those suctions of said coustitutiona seperate ly which are supposed to be particularly objectionable. Although much surprise a manifested at the reception of the message th- House of Representatives immediately paased the law recommended, which concedes all that waa demanded by the Virginia move ment. A clause waa inserted in the bill, in the Senate, providing for a new registration of voters in the said States. This clause, it is aaid, will let ia at leaat 150,000 white vo ters iu Virginia and exclude many enloi enters who were fraudulently registered be am. It will also aflect the vote oonsidera- ronger any doubt that those States will be enabled to get rid of the proecriptive fea tures of their constitutions aad defeat the worthless aud corrupt "Carpet-Bag" party tar the State offices. Wei la & Co., in Vir ginia, no doubt read their doom ia this law Another clause was also added by the Sen ate which cannot be defended, and which sa vors too much of the vindicative feelinga which governed tne xnu ana win uoDgress- es towards th Southern people the clause requiring, the legislatures of those States to ratify fapropoaed 15th amendment as aeon dition of their admission. Practically this way not amount to much but the feelinga and motives which prompted it are very rep rehensible. Colored suffrage having tan ar bitrarily forced upon the Southern States we hope they will all ratify the proposed amend ment so aa to force it upon the Northern States or compel Mesa to defeat the measure. But we wish to see them left to act in the matter as free and untrammelled as the North ern States. This ia the first piece of practical legisla tion which the President has aaked at the hands of Congress, and he has been success ful. Those Democratic journals which have denonnced him for hia coarse in other things will have the consolation of knowing that that coarse, coupled with their strong disappro bation of it, has enabled the President to ac complish this much in the cause of oouesrta turn and good government. Till: tfcARDLE CASE. It will be remembered that daring the last snmmer the Old North Slate took the ground that the now State governments of the Southern States were fixed facta -that it would be impossible to get rid of them exeept by another revolution. It took the grouud that the question of the validity of said governments, being whol ly a political question, would hare to he determined by the political and not by the judicial department of the government. To sustain its podtlon it cited various au thorities which oultt to have settled the question, but which satisfied do one, scarcely, but him who quoted them Among the authorities cited was (he great speech of Chief Justice Marshall on the Jonathan Robbins case, the opinions of the Supreme Court in the cases of Wil liams vs. Armroyd, Varbury rs. Madison, Luther vs. Borden, Mississippi and Gcor gta,x parte, also the opinions of George Ticknor aud Benjamin R. Curtis. Ia the face of all these eminent authorities it was contended that the reconstruction acts wonld be deeided to be unconstitutional whenever the Mc Ardle case was disposed of, and that these governments would fol low such decision. How sensible men could ever entertain each opinions wsi a hat they did. We sup- i ueis was 01 no use to iTrrnmrnt or any aas eiae ; aim tue amendment waa rejected. The New York Inoune, upon these jaat remarks of the senator from Ubode Island, makes the following equally just and pungent commentary : " Mr. Senator Anthony has generally been praised to draw nice distinctions rather for gallantry than for bravery ; bu. be did a brave thing Weduesday, as well as one highly creditable to his common sense, in bis resistance to tne scheme lor pensioning a lot of starveling newspapers upon the Government Treasuiy. Cer tainly loyal newspapers at the South de serve whatever incidental encouragement can be given tbcm ; but tbe senator a general proposition is palpably just. Newspapers that can't support themselves are not likely to deserve Qovernment support, or to be of much use either to tbe Government or any body else. Ktullv. this is another " Daniel come to judgment." Matters are getting around considerably on tne awe ot justice, and we are nromnted to hope fur something better still. Richmond Dispatch. The above comments by Senator An thony, the Dispatch and the Tribune, are well merited. Every body is familiar with the manner in which a certain jour nal ia this State baa been, not only kept alive, but allowed to swindle au unfortu nate class of owe people, because of the manner in which a political Judge con strued Um appropriation act of 1867. And every fair minded man knows that the paper tall pampered has been a stirer up of strife ia our State ever since tbe election of Gov. Worth, and that it key j i a i by the manner in which it has tradnced, and is atlll traducing Um people of this State and the South. In saying this wa no not wish to be understood as defending the course and tone of all the Democratic and Conservative papers in the Stat' by any means they arc not all as pacific iu their tone aad disposition as they shonld be.

It is no longer s question with any tain, who tenderly loves his wife and children. k aidera how helpless would be their condition in ease of his death, as to the duty of taking vet a LI FK POLICY, but as to which ComJU k. shall pay his money. If he reflects a moment he will conclude to patronise the Company which shows the crest est degree of vitality, which extends its busi ness over the largest area, which in a Hume Company in every locality; which furnishes iu surauce at the least cost ; which issues no poli eies that are forfeitable Bhould he be unable neat year, or any subsequent year Vapsy Bis re newal ; aud which ia undoubtedly able tc meet all its iron Uses.
