THE LORDLY WILLIAMS BEFORE
THE SUPREME COURT.
-. -We are known to be fond of the
Attorney General and proud of his
brilliant attainments as lawyer, states
man and conqueror of the helpless, to
whom he administers justice with the
': soothing amiability of a Draco and by
the suasive instrumentalities of a Ma
rat. Mn Williams has been before
: the Supreme Court lately, having
found time from his diversions in
i Louisiana, and it is needless to say
. TVlr. Williams has made a record. Mr.
Williams has always made a record
: everywhere he has ever been and in
everything he has ever touched. Mr.
Williams, like some pf the smaller
Republicans, Grant and Logan "for
instance, believes in making records.
Usually, we will do the Attorney
General the justice to say, his records
have been consistent in . audacity,
harrowing, to the soul and deplored
by his comrades, while Grant andLo
: gan have startled and amused by
' turns as they would perform feats on
the political trapeze to-day a Demo
? crat, to-morrow a Republican; to-day
: seeing the South in smiles, all peace
morrow in wrath all storms, according
as they looked through Democratic or
i Republican spectacles. Mr. Williams is
the incarnation of diabolism all the
i lime. The same imperturbable devil
i morning, noon aud night is Mr. Wil
i Hams. Whether he is ever afraid of
popular sentiment we do not know.
-1 He has Gen. Sheridan, who says he is
i " not afraid," between himself and
:- danger. The Attorney General ought
. to be pretty safe behind such a
" a great god of war"
' a'sl II. Sheridan.
Afraid or not, Mr. Williams ap?
peared before the Supreme Court at
Washington last week in a "bold
soger" sort of way that did us and the
rest of his admirers very proud. It
was the case of the United States vs.
I "Hiram Resse and Matthew Fanshel,
an appeal from the United States Cir
cuit Court for Kentucky.-' The par
ties named were inspectors of a mu
nicipal election held in Lexington,
Kentucky, on January 30, 1873, and
on that occasion refused tcv receive
the vote of a negro who was'unable
to produce evidence that he had paid
the capitation tax. They were indict
ed on a charge of violation of the en
forcement act of May 31, 1870, and
i on a'demurrer to each! count of the
44ieijm't, the United States Circuit
i and District Judges being divided in
opinion, the case was certified to the
Supreme Court. Like the Grant par
ish case, it involves the constiution
ality of the enforcement act.
The argument was listened to by
a great number of leading jurists who
were highly entertained of course by
the lofty erudition of the law officer
of the Government. It was certainly
well for those men to have been there.
Mr. Williams' mighty reputation and
his well-known confidential relations
with the President made it especially!
incumbent on learned gentlemen and
the rest of mankind topay heed to
the words that fell from lips so sacred.
; A great and venerable name always
commands attention in that court.
s So does Mr. Williams. The case was
ably argued for the defendants by ex
Attorney General Stanbery and MrJ
Buckner, and was argued for the
United States by the Attorney Gen
eral and the Solicitor General. This
functionary is our. Mr. Samuel F.
i Phillips, himself no lawyer,
whatever his political views and asso
ciations. Mr. - Williams announced
to the court with great vehemence that
State rights were nothing but a breath
,. that had passed out of existence. . He
said that it would be impossible for
the Union to exist without a strong
. central government in Washington,
- and if his words, addressed directly
to the court, meant anything, they
meant that that tribunal had no right
to undertake to pass in review any of
tne political legislation of Congress,
Bravo! He beards the venerable
judicial lious in their very den. -Tran
scendent valor ! Mighty man !
The law officer intimated to the
court that it would be a very serious
tVllnnp fr it t Ant-..-.. t
vw.w& .vf, i. lo assume 10 euro in any
respect the will of Congress as to
what was appropriate legislation un
der the recent amendments. He said
that in only a very few instances had
the Supreme Court reversed the action
of Congress. The argument addressed
to the court was similar in spirit,if not
precisely in form, to that he addresses
; to the Louislanians whenever they in
fist on considering themselves free
under the Constitution, "it is the ar
i gument of Centralism, of Caesarism.
of stark, utter and hard-visaged jdes
potism. " !
And this to the Supreme .Curt,
- it . t
over which a Marshall and a Tinpy
once presided a tribune at oncel aw
ful in its dignity andinfiexibleHjatid
stern, though just and impartial, in ts
decrees ! Descensus avemi facilis est.

DISCUSSION ON THE CONVENTION
- - . QUESTION. t j (
The consideration of the Conven-
i i i : t '
tion question has developed greater
difference of opinion among Conser
vatives than any discussion thai! has
arisen since the winter of 1860f-'61.
The very fact that there is! a division
of sentiment ought of itself to table
the whole matter until such time 'as
the press and people can agree pnj a
policy. This we have time and again
urged." The Conventionists havepur
sued a course that will end, we jfear,
in disaster, sooner or later;' that is, if
they succeed in passing a bill through
the Legislature at this session.
' We are glad the discussiou is about
to conclude.- It ;has not done
the
i .
any
Democratic Conservative!-party
good, but rather the reverse.
Oppo-
eition to the proposed policy
an?ong
thn it1
the people is stronger to-day
was last September. We mean
, those
who are-hostile to the measure are
now more firmly feet in their opposi
tit
tion. mere is no reason at tnis mo-
ment to hope for
unanimity.
SjL'
ar
as this journal is concerned everV
fort will be made to hold the parly
! - , i j
aud true people of the State togeihjer.
The fact, however, that all zealous
newspapers and citizens will subordi
nate private opinion to the general
welfare of State and party, preferring
in an emergency jto surrender well
grounded convictions of right I and
policy rather than by standing out to
engulf all in perhaps irremediable
ruin, should not encourage those -who
are over-eager in the . Convention
cause to push the
matter to despera-
lion.
There are manv Conservatives
who do not take a broad view of; the
question, and who will not vote at all
in an election for delegates. I I
Let this fact warn the Legislature
against precipitate action. If there
be found, as we allege on just grounds,
that there is considerable . opposition
to the measure, let it be abandoned.
It is better to hart the feelings !of
some urgent gentjemen than j.o jeop
ardize the rule of the Conservaliv
e
party and thereby
pave the way
for
we
the return of the
thieving partyi
kicked out in 1870.
THE PEOPLE OPPOSED TO i'OAC
VKNTION.
As sustaining Our jiosition that the
people are not prepared j for
a Con
vention at this time, and indeed are
opposed to it, we quote from a long
article in the last number of the JFay
etteville Gazette, a carefully-edited
and reliable news papier. The Gazl tte

seat them to the Legislature, we do not

than in other men; but one of their funda
mental duties is to represent faithfully! in
the State halls of council, the views of those
wua by their votes fct the ballot-box, have
entrusted to them office and position.
" Hecce we are sanguine, as we said; in

THAT THIRD teM EXPECTA-
: TION.j.:; , i--rr. I
It hath more lives than a cat. A
correspondent of the; St. Louis Re
publican has had an j interview with
Senator Jones of, Nevada, in winch
the latter spoke with! great freedom
in relation Jo personal, and political
topics. In the coarse of the conver
sation the subject of Mexico was in
troduced, and the Senator expressed
the opinion that there is no possibility
of the mineral riches of that country
being properly developed under Mex
ican rule. He thou eh t. however, it
would not be long before the north
ern provinces at least would belong
to the United States, for Grant, he
said, warmly favored their annexa
tion, " and would in all likelihood in
augurate some policy to that end be
fore the close of the Administration."
On this the New York Sun remarks:
'There have been reports in circulation
for some time that Grant entertains a
project for the acquisition of a; por
tion of Mexico, though we dor not
know that it has before been plainly
spoken of by any one having as con
fidential relations with the President
as the Nevada Senator. The general
impression has been that the scheme
Was to be held in reserve as a final
stroke for tfye third term, when j if it
should be deemed necessary, it would
be easy to invent a pretext for in
volving this country in a war! with
the neighboring republic, whicbiis so
rich in silver but so poor in such
men as are used for Senatorial timber
in Nevada." f.
We hope this final stroke for the
third term will meet with the 6ame
good fortune that "all of us" met
