The clause in the Constitution re lied upon by Congressional lawyers for authority to vote ;away the money in the United States! Treasury for school teaching in this United States is as follows : j congress snail Have ! power to lav and collect taxes imposts and excises, to pay fense and atmM. wif. r . TrLTT.j i u usuw auu wuviub lor; me rnmmnn no States." ' . yj " ! Now- let every Capable, frank, honest mind read that clause atten tively and he will hardly arrive at the conclusion1 that is sought to be placed upon it by Congressmen. We undertake to assert that no scholar in any reputable institution of learn: ing,' with the clause before him to .interpret and construe, would place the meaning upon it) that the advo cates of the Blair bill have done. He would never suppose from a fair criticism of the language that the framersof the Constitution ever de signed to convey the 'idea that Con gress ha.fl o - gi,eu w iecu il literates in. the States Now what does that clause say, and say with the utmost clearness? Kead: ''Congress sha lay and collect taxesj I have power to I duties, excises, I - Ac." Any chance of mistake here ? Is it not aa perfectly! plain as human language can possibly be ? Here there is a clear, uurxjistakable grant of power. " ; Now a step farther. : Whv is this power granted ? For what ends is it granxea Look at the clause o.r fully. The answer is equally plain as: the granting of power. What does the Constitution say ? Here it' is: "To pay., and provide for the-common defense and General ee of iheStafes do you say ? xi, w not so "nominated in the bond." it says nothing like remotely hint at it. j it. It does not i - Bat it says with the utmost lucidity and i directn that Congress is "to pay the debts and provide for the Common defense ana general welfareM .the United xtates " He must be indeed a dull fellow who cannot, nnd "Pay the debts and provide for the; common defense and general welfare Ui iae united Stated" Here nowr is granted for a spec fic end,' and that end concerns only th United St&tes. But suppose you1 h allow certain Congressmen to i have their wv when thev dAnlArA !t..f " w i vviuu uun wnrni weuare - gWQ the Congress the power to .become universal school teacher and ' to go into thn v uteuuent, sovereign common- wfiairt. - .u. pedagogic it business: then? see - if ery much then, as you must nw in you 'are inteUiffent.

Such an in- terpretation -miffht end ini the de struction of the Government itself as any' thoughtful mind must' see. It would give to Congress the power to do a thousand things for the States that the States could best .do for themselves. It would greatly tend to develop Centralization. : - Under sucbra sweeping interpreta tion and construction the Congress may spend 1 money at will and with out limit; It can, introduce Paternal ism into a hundred fields. It can pay the private debts of .every citizen. It may pay the debts of all the States, I for "to pay debit and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States" is all one sen tence. Congress has: just as much authority under this clause to pay the public debt of each State as it has to teach the sohool children of each State. The interpretation given it in Con gress is false. The words "United States" limit tbq meaning... The Con, stitution is not talking of the "debts" or "general welfare" of the States as such, but of the; United States; it is not talking of the welfare of the peo ple, but it limits the grant of power to iho Unhed Sta& That i, .toply P11 or any on to I derstand. fail to un In this clause there is a distinct re cognition of the Union of States of a Confederation of States of a grand body politic "of the United States." It says the Congress may do what ever is for the "general welfare" of the body politic of the Confedera tion orUnioE known as the "United States." You cannot possibly mis take here without supreme mental blindness. The Congress is limited throughout the clause to the United States. It has no grant of Dower I beyond this. Dir'ir Maj. Bingham, Capt. Catiett, Prof. Fetter, all will tell you and tell Con X J - M.mvj cftAJ, gressmen that the words "United States" qualify, not the words "gen eral welfare" only, but the clause, all of the preceding terms in the same member of the sentence. If Congress had really power un- ler this clause to teach school in the tt . - -. . . unuea states It would have eaual power to provide school houses, fur nish books, and even to pay the debts of all and why ? Because the debts are just as much a part of the clause as the general welfare is. The "debts-" referred to must be the debts of every private citizen if the school teaching or general . welfare applies to private citizens instead of the "United States." Of course such a construction is unmitigated nonsense. Such an abuse of the laws of language would de stroy all written instruments and make society a chaos. If the Congress can teach school it can pay the debts of every citizen, oure all diseases, give all men em ployment, give the "forty acres and the mule'! of reconstruction times to tbe negroes and ail in distress, for under "the general welfare" clause all this could be done. In this way the States would soon disappear from the American system. The Stab is ut terly opposed to any sudh latitudina rian, gutta-percha interpretation of a law expressed in the plainest, sim- plest language. It is opposed to the Congress invading the States under any specious, deceptive',1; dane-erons plea to do for them what they can best do for themselves. The interpretation sought to be placed upon, the clause in the Consti tution relied upon for authority for jureirouHuu m me otates is politically dangerous, theoretically absurd and grammatically false. Let the Professors of English Language and Literature atany.:j&ye leading Colleges and . Universities have this Sj5nto:threr with the interpretation and construction we ?iave Slven above, and if all five do not sustain it we will "crawfish" and -eat very "humble pie.? We ate n?! .hat their political school or bias may be . If they; are honest and fair, We will abide by their decision. ; J1: Congressmen pretend to rely,uPon this clause for sanction to take from the Treasury seventv mil.

SBYRIOVB. v The death of this eminent citizen of New York; was briefly announced in the Stab of yesterday. It occurred on Friday . night, at his home at Utica. .Horatio Sevmour .was born ia 1 811, in the State in which he, was held in universal esteem. New York has never had a public man of higher character. It has had no public man in thirty years or more who has com manded so much of the esteem, con fidence and admiration of the people of the : United States, of . all parties and sections of the country, as he did. . He had the reputation, and doubtless richly merited'it. of bein. . T, ' , ' -o an excenent lawyer, an efficient Ex- ecutive officer, a wise,. well balanced statesman, a man of broad views, of high patriotism, of sincere devotion to the Constitution, and , an honest man. A man of Drivate and nnblin P'ti-toa. . . x : embracing to know any North or any South, he was a great favorite with the Democrats of the whole United States. He served in the Legislature ior three years when he was nominated by the Democrats for Governor, but was defeated by Washington Hunt, the Whig candidate. In 1852 1 he was again nominated and was elect ed by a large majority. In 1854 he was for the second time defeated. In 1862 he was again elected Gov ernor. In 1868 he was nominated for the Presidency against Grant and was badly defeated. If he had been elected how much of shame; how how much of violations of the Con- stitution; how mnoh .of debauchery . - - and crime and official Trofliwftw savea to the country.

In the meantime the widow of Gen. Hancock, ac companied by Mrs. Lieut. Griffin and Mrs. Bouvier, entered the room in which the hero lay and took a nartino- innb- at .io face.

The coffin lid was then put in its place, and the laurel wreath, brought to this city by Col. John.H.
