SECESSION.
The Charlotte Observer says that
when the constitution was adopted the
question of secession 1 was left unset
tled. Will The Observer please in
form us whether or not the question of
secession was settled when the Union
was formed between England and Scot
land? Will it also be good enough to
point out the difference in the manner
in which the American and British
Unions were formed -Statesville A mer
ican Thaodifnrnf flifi Statesville Ameri
can ought to be too well read in his
tory to ask. us such a question. The
American States up to . the time of the
revolution were simply colonies, and it
was not until they were recognized by
the government of Great Britain, after
a seven years' struggle with that coun
try, that they became States, and it was
not until 1787 that they aspired to that
dignity. Rhode Island was simply a
plantation. The declaration of inde
pendence declared that "the patient suf
ferance of these colonies, was such that
there was a necessity which constrain
ed them to alter their former system of
government. "We, therefore, in the
name and by the authority of the good
people of these colonies, solemly publish
and declare that these united colonies,
are, and of right oiifM to be (not were),
free and independent States." Inde
.pendent States! Independent of
what? Why independent, lift only
of Great Britain, but all of the
world besides. This declaration meant
war, and with the end of the war seven
years later, came the acknowledged in
dependence of the States, by tbc recog
nition King George III. The colo
nies first attempted to-make war upon
Great Britain each in its own behalf
and cause. Massachusetts threw the for
eign tea into Boston harbor, and even
fought the battle of Bunker Hill on her
own hook. North Carolinians rebelled
against the stamp act; made open war
on the British officers of the crown at
Alamance, and proclaimed the Meck
lenburg Declaration, without reference
to what any or all the other colonies
would do. After the war had com
menced the colonies united their armies
upon the theory that in "union there
is strength," but no system of govern
ment for the young republic had been
agreed upon except such measures as
tended to advance the weal and welfare
of all, in a strictly military.sense. Six
teen months after the Declaration of
Independence at Philadelphia, represen
tatives from the several States adopted
what was called "Articles of Confedera
tion and perpetual union between the
States." The government under the
former system had been found to be in
adequate .to the wants of the people,
and the union was declared to be so
imperfect as to be almost unworthy of
the name. States made commercial ag
gressions upon each other. State legis
latures unhesitatingly passed laws in re
taliation for real and imaginary injuries,
which demonstrated the necessity of a
more powerful federal government and
a more perfect union of the people of
the UnitedStates. It was a government
having no judiciary that commanded
the respect of the people, and was
wanting in stability. The State legis
latures often passed laws favoring their
own immediate and respective locali
ties, and State courts did not hesitate
to disregard the decisions of co-ordinate
tribunals of other States. Treaties
formed between the general govern
ment and foreign nations were reck
lessly disregarded by State Legislatures,
as well as by State courts. In several
instances this open disregard of the
plighted faith of the nation threatened
to involve the whole country in war.
Insolvent laws were enacted by some of
the States, the effect of which, when ap
plied to the relations of debtor and cred
itor, practically amounted to a complete
discharge of indebtedness without con
sideration. Laws also were passed by
provincial legislatures making unjust
and invidious distinction in favor of
the citizens of theStates enacting them.
In fact our government as then estab
lished became a matter of contempt at
home, and of burlesque abroad.
When these things-became apparent,
a convention was called and a constitu
tion was adopted which after submis
sion to. the States was ratified, and be
came the fundamental law of the land.
It was to this instrument that we re
ferred, and abot which the American
takes us fo task. There were then, as
now, two powerful parties in the coun
try, the one we will say, represented by
Alexander Hamilton, a Federalist, and
the other by Thomas Jefferson, a Re
publican, as he was then called. The
one was for adopting a constitution
which gave all power to the general
government, the other for delegating to
the general government only certain
rights, and reserving certain oth
er rights', not so delegated, to the
States, in their sovereignty. The
i wuouiunuii no we mivtj it was a com
promise between these two antipodal
doctrines.
Secession meant a dissolution of the
compact, and if the editpr of the Amer-
icetn, can sfi&w'us any authority in the
Constitution, which provides for the
manner ill which, the compact shall be
dlS5lTET'"tnen-wcr will acknowledce
that we have read that instrument in
vain, and that we were in error when
we said the "question of sesession was
unsettje4"-untikit was "bathed in the
blood of tljk Jiilion," and became law
only throufh henstramentality of
the solemn arbitrament of the sword
The reference to the British unicn
between England and Scotland, in com
parison with the? - formation7 or tne
American Union is almost tod puerile
to demand notice a&, our. hands. , The
present Confederatioff or States was
formed after, deliberate and well ma
tured fclans were 'hoWidered- and digest
ted by a convention of representatives
called together for thai pose, ;i n
afterwards, submitted, to, .and ratified
by; the- States i their separate, sover
ign capacity, while the union between
England and Scotland was mainly
brought about by the simple marriage
of the king of England to the queen of
Scotland, and the mutual agreement
that a united parliament should be
formed in which Scotland should be
represented by forty-five member?.
There is no analogy whatever between
the two incidents, and if the editor of
the American would read history, and
the Constitution of his own country, a
little closer, he would at once realize
the silliness of the question he pro
pounds. BEPVDMCAN FA I KIM ESS.
In an editorial recently, on the Re
publican idea of a "strong government"
The Observer said :
There is a growing conviction among
the masses of the people, aided by the
corrupt practices of the Republican
party, which culminated in the fraud of
the electoral commission, that our pre
tences of good government, and the
rights of the people, are a sham and a
delusion, and our boasted heritage of
the purity of the ballot-box is a lie.
This is how the New North State
prints it:
"There Is a growing conviction among the mass
es of the people that our pretences of good govern
ment are a sham and a delusion, and our boasted
heritage of the purity of the ballot-box is a lie."
This is credited to The Observer
with the following comments:
Amen! Every Republican in the
South will heartily endorse that.
The Observer is never happier than
when it has struck a blow that tells on
the Republican party, and when the
withers of the "galled jade winces," but
it dislikes to be misrepresented.
Our licks are intended to be struck
above the belt, and we ask no favors,
but we have a right to demand that
our statements shall not be distorted
into unmeaning jargon, or that our sen
tences shall be so garbled as to mean
the very opposite of what we intended.
We desire to treat our Republican
brethren of the press with every cour
tesy that is due to them, and we would
like to think that their Republican sen
timents were the result of honest con
viction, but in this instance it would
seem that our confidence in the fairness
of the editor of the New North State
had been misrepresented. Quote us
right brother, and then
"Before my body
I throw my warlike shield! lay on McDjff!
And damned be htm that first cries, hold, enough."
SHALL. WE HAVE THE NEW KAI I,-1SOAD.
Some of our State exchanges com
plain that The Observer has too much
month on railroad questions, but as
long as we don't agree with tliem, and
our readers don't grumble, we propose
to jog along after our own style, giving
the news and commenting thereon af
ter our own independent fashion. We
have heard nothing new from the "syn
dicate," and in the absence of other rail
road matters to talk about to-day, we
lay before our readers a pleasant little
editorial from the Iredell Gazette on
"our present outlook as to the proposed
extension of the Washington City and
Virginia Midland Railroad through
North Carolina." Here it is:
Hope deferred makes the heart sick ;
and the delay which we have been com
pelled to endure has fully tried the pa
tience of the many earnest people here,
and along the line of our Winston,
Salem & Mooresville Railroad, who
have desired more than anything else
the early consummation of plans which
would justify them in going to work
immediately. But the delay has been
altogether reasonable; no one lias been
at fault; every effort doubtless has been
made by Mr. Barbour and other gentle
man to bring the matter to an issue, at
as early a day a possible. And now we
have the right to say upon the authori
ty of perfectly reliable private advices,
that Mr. Barbour has been author
ized by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company to go on with
the work, upon a certain condi
tion, likely to be fulfilled in a few
days. As to routes, we are masters of
the situation, if we do our duty, as we
must and will; everything is working
well ; and there is a likelihood that a
corps of engineers will be in the field in
a short time. The negotiations may
yet tail, out the prospect is so decidedly
good, that we hesitate even to express
tne sngntest apprenension.
When the bargain shall havn been
struck, the time for vigorous action will
have come, and those who have done
much must double it, those have done
a little must do much, and all must
help some.
Mr. Bayard's Speech.
The New York Times warmly com
mends Senator Bayard's speech on the
joint resolution withdrawing the com
pulsoryJegal tender power of the Uni
ted States notes. Among other things
the Times says :
"The defense of his financial resolu
tion which was made by Mr. Bayard in
the Senate, was worthy of the high rep
utation he has lately sought to strength
en, and worthy of the subject. Its tone
was in marked contrast with that of
nearly all the speeches which have
been directed against the proposition
to deprive United States notes of
their legal tender quality. It was dig
nified, clam, and rational. There was
very little allusion in the Senator's
speech to the political bearing of the
work in which he is engaged. But no
one can be blind to the fact that he lias
undertaken the rescue of his party from
what lie regards as a fatally false posi
tion. We are ready to concede the
statesmanship of the measure he pro
poses, but it is not to be denied that it
is also a measure of political sagacity.
It is a bold and high bid for the votes of
New York, New Jersey and Connecti
cut in the election next fall. It remains
to be seen whether the Republican lead
ers are aware at the fact that for them,
also, the patli of the highest public duty
is the only one that can lead to political
satety ; whether they are ready to oner
as much courace. crood sense and fidelity
for the support of those States, which,
without these qualities, promptly and
clearly shown, thev are in great danger

The Indian C'ommlHioiier Removed.
Washington, Jan. 29 Commission
er of Indian Affairs Hayt was removed
from office to-day by Secretary Schurz.
No reason was assigned in the secreta
ry's letter of dismissal, but it is under
stood that while there is no evidence of
dishonesty in the commissioner's ad
ministration, there is proof that lu h;.s
withheld from the interior department
information which it was his duty to
communicate, and that this is the
ground of his removal.
The Editorial Duelif.
New Orleans. Januarv 29. Thedfa-
trict-attorney to-day filed a complaint
against ine principals and seconds in
.the Burke-Ilearsey duel. The princi
pals were bailed, $500 each, and the sec
onds $250 each. The penalty under the
law for fighting a duel is $200 fine and
imprisonment two years; the seconds
$100 fine and imprisonment one year.
IDilTY-SIXTK CJNGRESS. .
Washington, Jan u'ary SO. House.
Acklen, of Louisiana, made a personal
explanation relative to charges made
in a recent number of the New York
Herald and Detroit Post, to the effect
that he had, during the absence from
the House of members of the commit
tee on foreign affairs, of which commit
tee he was not a member, made a rei ort
purporting to be a report of that com
mittee on the Nicaraguan claims bill.
He referred to those charges as most
malicious and wilful prevarications of
truth on record, and offered a resolu
tion which was adopted directing the
committee on foreign affairs to exam
ine into their truth or falsity.
"Harris, of Massachusetts, from the
committee on naval affairs, reported a
bill which was referred to the commit
tee of the whole providing a permanent
construction fund for the navy.
Valentine, of Nebraska, asked leave
to offer a resolution instructing the ap
propriation committee to report the
postorlice deficiency bill with the excep
tion of items of appropriation relative
to the 5th of February. Blackburn, of
Kentucky, objected.
Knott, of Kentucky, chairman of the
committee on the Judiciary, reported a
bill removing the political disabilities
of Wm. B. Talliafero, of Virginia.
Conger, of Michigan, opposed the bill
on the ground that in his petition the
petitioner referred to the late war as a
war between the Southern States and
the United States, instead of a war of
rebellion.
The Speaker thought the tone of the
petition did not exhibit any disposition
on the part of the petitioner to be hypo
critical. It was in the usual form. The
chair was always on the side of pen
sioners and relieving disabilities.
Conger "I do not rank pensions and
those who ask amnesty in the same
class."
Speaker. "The chair would erect
them all to full citizenship, and those
who have suffered he would have pen
sioned." The bill was finally passed,
yeas 172, nays 50. A number of Repub
licans voting with the Democrats in the
affirmative.
Bills were then passed removing the
political disabilities of J. S. Mauny, J.
Wilkinson and C. C. .Lemmis, of Vir
ginia. Conger, of Michigan, objected to the
passage of the bill removing the politi
cal disabilities of John Owens, of Vir
ginia, and demanded the yeas and nays,
pending which the morning hour ex
pired. The House then went into committee
of the whole on the private calendar.
The bill for the relief of certain citi
zens of Lynchburg, Va., refunding to
them taxes improperly collected from
them on manufactured tobacco, amount
ing to 82(3,000, was debated and laid
aside, to be favorably reported. After
some further business of little public
interest the House adjourned until to
morrow. COMMITTEES.
Guv. Pitkin, of Colorado, resumed his
testimony before the House committee
on Indian affairs this morning. He re
lated incidents in his interviews with
Jack and other Indians, going to show
that Ouray had gradually lost his in
fluence over the younger Utes, and a
teehng ot disanection and war spirit
had for some time past been gaining
the ascendency with tliem. lie said
some of the scouts had previous to the
Thornburgh fight been warned that the
Indians would attack the troops at or
near Bear River, and that the general
opinion among the people of Colorado
was that the outbreak was premedita
ted on the part of the Utes.
All a Hoax.
Richmond, Va., January 30. The
Whig, Gen. Mahone's organ, publishes
the following: "The Manchester Cou
rier, of yesterday, under an immense
display of headlines, perpetrates a stu
pendous joke upon the read j usters, the
sum and substance of which is that
Gen. Mahone has gone over to the Re
publicans. We are not sure that it
needs contradiction. Certainly nobody
who knows Mahone believes it, and de
velopments that are rapidly to come
will give the hoax its quietus. The
Courier might as well say Mahone has
gone over to the Bourbon funders.
ALMOST PERPETUAL MOTION.
A Motor Which, the In Ten tor Declares,
When Once Started, Will Hun Till
it Wean Out.
New York Sun.
All day yesterday the small rooms of
Albert Pietrowski, at 26 Spring street,
were crowded with visitors who had
gone thither to see the new motor that
was advertised in the Sun, on Monday.
Mr. Pietrowski is a Pole. He is an en
gineer, by profession, and has been in
this country sixteen years. He has de
voted his leisure hours to the elabora
tion of his invention.
The model that he exhibited yester
day consists or a pair oi hollow metal
wheels, tour teet in diamter, which re
volve on the same axis, but in opposite
directions. The moving power is nine
metal balls placed within the wheels so
as to bear the rim down at first, and
then gravitate toward the axis, where a
side groove runs the balls off to a
grooved radius oi the wheel revolving
in the opposite direction. Four balls
were placed in the grooved radii of the
first wheel and four in the radii of the
second, and when momentum had been
gained the ninth ball was added, to give
additional power. To the axle of the
wheels, which is also the axle of small
er grooved wheels that regulate the
speed of the machinery, the shafting is
applied.
"Give me a cast iron wheel sixty feet
in diameter," said Mr. Pietrowski, "and
I will show you a motor of 300-horse
power, that requires nothing to keep it
in operation, it will continue to run
until the material wears out."
Several of the engineers who witness
ed the working of the Pietrowski Hip.-
chine yesterday, were sanguine in the
opinion that for all practical purposes,
leaving out the engine ot the locomo
five and the steamboat.it will be.found
ot great value.
An Indignant Heir.
A Greensburg (Pa.) dispatch states
that on Monday Mr. A. A. Steuart, an
attorney, was having read the will of
Sebastian Brant, lately decaased, which
bequeathed an estate and bonds valued
at $40,000, of which nearly all was to
go to Brants grand-children. Arrarew
George, a son-in-law. asked to see the
will. When it was in his possession he
quickly threw it into the office fire and
there held it until it was entirely con
s timed. By the will $1,000 had been be
queathed to him, but by a codicil he
was cut off with $5. There is a copy
of the will, but without the codicil at
tached. As it is a penitentiary offense,
George is already in jail awaiting the
criminal jourc. , -

The Home company, the only city insurance-
company of Charleston, has

A WORD TO THOSE WHO USE POROUS PLASTERS.
It is a universally acknowledged fact that
Benson's Capcine Porous Plasters are Superior to all Others.
The great demand for them has caused a number of unscrupulous parties to make and sell worth
less Imitations under similar sounding names. As the market is flooded with inferior plasters selling Ht
any price, it is Important for the consumer to know which is the best. It is well known tht some of
the cheap plasters have been examined and found to contain injurious ingredients, which make them
dangerous to use, causing paralysis and other diseases. CAUTION See that the word Capcine on
each plaster is correctly spelled.
