JOSEPH 9PEN4I FL'H A PPEAI,---PROM THE ORPHAN'S
CURT OF ALumu:NY
The opinion of the Court was delivered Nov,
27, 1850.
Sarah Smith took out letters of administra
tion on the estate of her . decea'Scd husband,
James Smith, who died Sept. 15, 1854. lii
her administration account she charged her
self with the proceeds of a lot of ground, sold
by, her under an order of Orphans'' Court, and
retained credit for the sum of three hundred
dollars claimed 'by herself as a witw, by vir
tue of the act of April 14, 185 , , Joseph.
1 1 i ...\
Spencer held a judgment against James
Smith, the decedent, entered Jan, 24, 1851, on
a bond with warrant of Attorney, waiving the
I,eriefit of the Exeiiiptiou Act of 1840. Joseph
Spencer accordingly filed, exceptions to the
administration account, and contended that
the widow was not entitled to retain $3OO as
against him. The Court belaw, McClure P.
J., decided differently, and Mr. Bponeer ap
pealed.
. .
The case wag argaedhy - Mellan and Negref;
for appellant, and - by Hasbrouck, for the ap
pellee.
Jowrie c J.—We think that the learned Pres
ident of the Orphan's Court decided this cause
rightly. The.act of 1851, allowing a widow
to take pmperty to the value of $3OO out of
her deceased hushand'S estate, is plainly a re
striction on the remedies theretofore existing
in favor of creditors. It is' therefore a .re
striction or qualification on any lions acquired
by operations of law against her estate, after
the passage 'of the art.
It is supposed that his waiver of any right
of ezemptiJn alters the case; hot we do not
think so. Ilia waiver of is privilege' grunted
by law to himself cannot effect a right grant
ed to another, •It puts. the oreditor in the
RAMO position which ho would have occupied
if the husband had no exemption—to be waiv
ed, And surely this provision in favor of the
widow nfight have been enacted and on fore
od, uvon if there had been no exemption at all
in favor of-the debtor hints/dr.—The creditor
might have divo . sted his whole estate in his
life-time, but not having done so, the prospec
tive proviiio)) J o f a v o r o f the widow comes in
to operation awl roQtriet.4 his romedv so far as
tee prevent it from interfering with' the right
grantod to her,

Precocious confessions there—latt Senator

Hale, Seward, Greeley and a few more had
better walk up to the confessional and make
clean breasts.
An Important Case.
The case of Dred Scott, recently argued be
fore the Supreme Court at Washington, in
volves the constitutionality of the :Clissouri
Compromise arid the power of Congress to
prohibit slavery in a Territory, in the follow
ing manner: Scott is the son of a slave wo
man belonging to an army officer, who moved
with his family and slaves into Territory
where, by the Missouri CoMpromise, slavery
was prohibited. There Scott, was born, but
was afterwards carried back to Missouri, and
is now--held therein-as- a- slave. lle sues for
his freedom, on the ground that he was born
free, by virtue of the Missouri Prohibition.
The case has been before the Supreme Court
a year or more, and was argued, but not de
cided last winter. It
,is supposed that the
majority of the Court will decide, that Con
gresS has no- right to prohibit slavery. n a
Territory, that the Missouri prohibition was
unconstitutional, -and that Scott is lawfully
held as a slave.
The Sure Road to Fame and Fortune.
We take it to be a demonstrable fact that no

man whose mental vision is , darkened IT

breeches pocket, cannot understand this ; and
if such an One in his mole-like gropings,
should chance upon . some new and useful
truth, be would be afraid to take the sure
road to celebrity, which lies through the Col

by the tolls. What a contrast does the bril
