DISINTEGRATION .OF
LANPAUKS.
ANCIENT
Revolutions never go backwards.
The history of nations proves this, and
the history of communities but makes
the fact more impressive. A false step
onco taken can never be retraced, and
tho moment that is unimproved goes in
to the eternity of ages recorded just as it
was improved or neglected. Wc are led
to these remarks by considering the re
cent decision of the Federal Supreme
Cjurt in the Virginia cases, where the
majority oversteps every boundary laid
down by the framers of the American
constitution, in the effort to declare the
supremacy of the Federal Courts, in
the certain cases, where concuirent ju
risdiction has been claimed, or at least
where jurisdiction was an open ques
tion. The steps now for the first time taken
by the Federal Supreme Court, in the
desire to sink the rights of the State?,
and uphold the strong arm of the Feder
al goverment, can never be retraced.
They at once become graven and fixed,
not in the hearts of the people, but on
tablets of stone, as indestructible as
those handed down from Sinai, and be
come mandates equally as binding on
questions of public polity, as does the
decalogue on the rules of morality.
One hundred years of the his
tory of the Federal goverment,
marked by contentions which
are both the pride and regret of
all true Americans, failed to jostle even
a turret stone of the great fabric of
republican democracy, erected by our
fathers. Even the civil war between
the States, which Bancroft declares to
have been such as "only Americans
'could wage," and in which '"the resolu
tions, bravery and military tal
"ents of either side were never
"excelled," could not shake the loosest
or least inconspicuous stone in the tem
ple. The hurricane of war in which
the Northern portion of the Union
brought 2,GSS.52( men, and expended
four thousand millions of dollars, as
against all the resources of the South,
and her 000,000 citizen soldiery swept
over the land from '61 to '05, and yet
left the American people, more than
ever in love with their institutions, and
pointing with pride to the stability of a
government that rested in the hearts of
the people. The question of secession,
and of slavery had indeed been settled
adversely to the popular belief at the
South, but nowhere had faith been lost
in our peculiar, and God-given system
of government, as was evidenced by the
adoption of the Confederate constitu
tion, as a rule and guide of our
political faith. A limit was
fixed, beyond which the rights of the peo
pie should not be surrendered and land
marks were established, which marked
the ultima thule of office-holders, who
were still regarded as the servants of
the people. It is perhaps too early to
put it on r ecord, but history when it
comes to be written by an inpartial and
truthful pen will say that at no time
even the very darkest of the in terno
cine struggle to which we have alluded,
did the true men of the South ever lose
sight of those principles of government,
engraven in the constitution, and on
the tablets of our hearts which protect
ed the immunities of the citizen and
the rights of the States. That clause in
the constitution which gave to the Con
federate Congress the power to look af
ter the "general welfare" was not con
sidered strong enough in North Caroli
na to defy the weakest officer of fthe
law armed with the writ of hobeas cor
2ms, and jail doors turned on their
hinges upon the judicial mandate 0
Richmond M. Pearson, to liberate indi
ylduals who had been improperly re
strained in their liberties. That State
Supreme Court, in our moment of di
rest calamity was strong enough to pro
claim the supremacy of the civil, over
the milatary law, and to uncage the
subjects of military despotism.
That clause in the Confederate con
stitution which put it into the power of
the Confederate Congress to "make all
"laws which shall be necessaryand prop
er for carrying into execution" the
powers and privileges granted to the
Confederate government was not strong
enough to allow Jeff Davis to pack a
SupremeCourt to get such a decision on
the legal tender question as was con
trary to the law, or to usurp the
powers, the privileges or the
prerogatives of the States which
had granted this power; nor was
it strong enough for him to require a
majority of the Confederate Supreme
Court to find a pretext to override the
boundaries of justice, and strike down
the citadel of law, in shackling the priv
ileges which justly belonged to the
States of the Confederacy.
Factions, dissentions, and even sec
tionalisms were not able to tear down
the foundations of our government, and
four years or fratricidal bloodshed, in
which the bravery, the endurance and
the patriotism of both sides were put
to the supreme test, left our govern
ment stronger, and more firmly imbed
ded in the hearts of the people than
ever. Our institutions stood the fiery
ordeal without a crack in their timbers,
and when the storm had passed, the
mighty oak of popular government,
though bent and bowed for a time,
stood erect in all the majesty of human
conception, and proclaimed the immu
table truths to be found in the beauti
ful symbolism of centrifugal States re
volving around a just and well regula
ted centripetal federal head.
These are no stale platitudes in regard
to the science of our government. They
are principles that were bought with
the blood of the patriots of the Ameri
can Revolution ; annealed and temper
ed by Jackson's victory on the plains of
Chalmette; made valuable by the
terms of the compromises in 1818
and 1821: cemented by the triumph
over nullification in 1832; again
pirchased and paid for by American
heroes under Scott and Taylor, among
the chaparals of Mexico, to be after-
tv.nd bathed in the blood of the nation
from '01 to '05, and to-day deserve to be I
written over every portal to every court j
of justice in the land.
Having passed through the fierce con
tentions of sectionalism, and, the bloody
assize of civil war, they teach us there
is a point in Jefferson's declaration that
'the judiciary of the United States is
"the subtle corps of sappers and miners
"constantly working under the ground
"to undermine the foundations, of our
"confederal ed fabric," or that
"The judiciary branch of the govern
ment is the instrument which, work
"ing like gravity, is to press us at last
"into one consolidated government," or
yet again that
"The Federal judiciary is advancing
"its noiseless step like a thief over the
"field of jurisdiction until all shall be
"usurped from the States, and the gov
ernments of all be consolidated into
"one.
Ominous words, uttered in 1821, forty
six years after the Declaration of Inde
pendence, of which Mr. Jefferson was
regarded as the father, and thirty-four
years after the adoption of the consti
tution, in the drafting of which he was
at least a leading spirit. In reading
them to-day shall we regard them in
the light of prophecy ? or shall we say,
sloth-like, a little more sleep, a little
more slumber, until the car of this judi
cial Juggernaut shall have crushed out
the little vitality that is left.
The new rules of the House of Repre
sentatives were finally adopted on Tues
day, and will go into operation on Mon
day next, March S. It is generally cen
ceded that they will simplify business
and put the brakes upon interminable
debate. The "morning hour." so called,
is abolished. Committees have simply
leave to report bills when called, with
out discussing them. There are three
calendars for three general classes of
bills that of the committee of the
whole, that of general legislation, and
the private calendar, precedence being
given to them in the order named. Mo
tions to suspend the rules may be made
only on the first and the third Monday
in each month, the previous question
is regulated and restricted, and "riders"
to appropriation bills are prohibited un
less germane to the subject and report
ed by a committee. The chief effect of
the new rules will be to restrict speech
making and add to the business powers
of the House.
Scales of North Carolina, Cox of
New York, Atkins of Tennessee, Ste
phens of Georgia, and Singleton of Mis
sissippi, are the only Democratic mem
bers of this Congress who were in the
House of Representatives before the
war.
CABLE FLASHES.
The Decision ia Hariuiaii's Cave Not
to Affect the Kelattons Between
France and Kitssia.
London', March 5. A St. Petersburg
dispatch says Maloditsky, who was ar
rested in St. Petersburg in 1STD, escaped.
When he heard that his party was pre
paring for a revolution for the 2nd of
March, he resolved to go to St. Peters
burg. Haying heard of Melikoff's ap
pointment, the revolutionists ordered
nothing to be done. The postponement
of the revolution preventing him from
getting money, he resolved to kill Meli
koff. London, March 5. A dispatch from
Rerlin to the Pall Mall UuZttte says:
"With a view to affording Prince .Bis
marck further relief from his arduous
duties, Count A'on Stalberg AVerrige
rode, at present Vice-president of the
council of ministers, is about to be ap
pointed Prussian premier in his stead."
A correspondent of the Daily News
at Paris says: "Putting together a good
deal of information, I have come to the
conclusion that Hartinann, the Nihil
ist, arrested here, will not be surrender
ed to the Russian authorities. Prince
Orloif, the Russian ambassador here,
has assured the French government
that its decision in the matter, what
ever it may be, will not affect the rela
tions between France and Russia."
A Duel at Sand Bar Ferry.
August a, Ga., March 4 On Tues
day last it was reported that a duel had
taken place at Sand Bar Ferry, on the
Georgia side of the river. The affair,
however, was conducted so secretly
that the names of the principals were
not ascertained until to-day. A. C. Ap
pleby slapped a one-armed man, named
Arthur O'Brien, and was challenged.
After an interchange of shots the affair
was settled. Neither .combatant was
wounded. The parties belong in Colle
ton county, South Carolina.

Washington, March ". Representa

bill in the House to-day, to increase the
efficiency of the life saving service. It
authorizes the establishment of two ad
ditional stations on the North Carolina
coast, and six houses of refuge on the
east coast of Florida. The bill provides
a pension of $15 per month to widows
of officers, and $12 per month to wid
ows of members of crews who may
lose their life in the service, or from
wounds or sickness contracted in the
discharge of duties.
The Ute Negotiations.
Washington, March 5. Secretary
Schurz says he is in hopes of conclud
ing negotiations with the Ute Indians
to-morrow. As soon as the matter is
definitely settled and the signa
tures of the Indians are obtained, the
agreement will be made public. It has
not yet been determined what will be
done with the two Utes now here, who
are supposed to have been immediately
connected with, the Meeker massacre.

Logan on the Fitz-John Porter Bill
The Territorial overnnient of
Alaska- Reports, Are.
Washington, March 5. senate.
The Vice-President laid before the Sen
ate a communication from the secretary
of the navy transmitting, in response
to a Senate resolution.inlormation as to
the present condition of affairs in Alas
ka; also a communication from the
secretary of the treasury transmitting
information as to the amounts paid for
the star postal service, etc.
Maxey, from the committee on post
offices and post roads, reported with
amendment the Senate bill to designate,
classify and fix salaries of persons on
the railway mail service. Placed on the
calendar.
Butler, from the committee on terri
tories, reported the bill to establish a
territorial government for the Territory
of Alaska. Placed on the calendar.
Harris presented a memorial of the
cotton exchange and fifty leading firms
of Memphis, praying that the mail ser
vice may not be reduced, but main
tained by proper appropriations.
Mr. Saulsbury opposed the passage of
the bill relieving Pay Director Abbott
from liability for defalcation on the
part of his subordinate, on the ground
that it encouraged carelessness. The
bill was, however, passed, 35 to 14.
Mr. Logan continued his argument
against the passage of the Fitz John
Porter bill. He pointed out on the
maps the relative position of the various
forces on the field, and said it was evi
dent that there was no obstruction in
front of Porter to prevent his pushing
forward to strike Jackson's right be
fore Longstreet could come up, as
Pope intended that it should be done.
If Porter had obeyed Pope's orders,
Jackson would have been crushed. Mr.
Logan praised Pope's plan, in this in
stance, and eulogized Pope as one of
the ablest officers in the army. The
Confederate general's reports show
that the Confederates were deceived by
Pope's strategy into throwing their
forces to the left of Jackson's com
mand, thus leaving Jackson open to
Porter's attack, and it was only Por
ter's refusal to obey Pope that caused
the stratagem to fail. To pass this bill
would be to condone a great crime, es
tablish a dangerous precedent and per
petuate an' injustice to officers whose
promotion in the army would be delay
ed by Porter's reinstatement.
Adjourned until to-morrow.
House. In the House this morning
Chittenden, of New York, introduced a
bill which was referred, giving the New
York chamber of commerce permission
to erect a suitable statue or group com
memorative of the inauguration of
George Washington as the first Presi
dent of the United States, in front of
the sub-treasury, in New York city.
Morrison, of Illinois, from the com
mittee on ways and means, reported a
bill amending the statutes in regard to
immediate transportation of dutiable
articles. Printed and recommitted.
Carlisle introduced a bill fixing the
duties on sugar as follows: On all su
gars not above No. i:J, I). S. in color
40-100 cents per pound; above No. 13
and not above No. 1(5, 2.75-100 cents per
pound; all over No. 10, 4 cents per
pound. Provided that nothing herein
contained shall be construed to alter or
amend the act of August 15, 1875, to
carry into effect the convention be
tween the United States and the Xing
of the Hawaiian Islands. Referred.
Hazelton complained that Warner, of
Ohio, had used the words "hospital
pimps," yesterday, in referring to pen
sioners of the government, and then
had them stricken out of his remarks as
printed in the Record. A lively dis
cussion ensued, which was once inter
rupted by the speaker, who thought the
members were out of order.
Adjourned until Monday.
COMMITTEE.
The committee on claims reported to
the House to-day favoring the pavment

A WORD TO THOSE WHO USE POKOUS 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 setir t
any price, It Is Important for the consumer to know which is the best. It is well known Hint some" of
the cheap plasters have been examined and found to contain injurious ingredients which m ike them
dangerous to use, causing paralysis and other diseases. CAUTION See that the' word Capcine
each plaster is correctly spelled.
