you go over the line to which the Constuu
tion limits you, and take possession, upon
anv nretext whatever, of that unbounded
field of power which lies outside, this Gov
ernment must become an absolute despotism
in theory and in practice.
If Judge Black had been speaking
in the Senate on yesterday on the
Blair bill he could not have made a
plainer or stronger argument against
it than he has done in the lucid and
luminous passages we have copied.
In the last extract he shows most
overwhelmingly what would follow a
latitudinarian, elastic, loose, gutta
percha interpretation of the "general
welfare" clause that is so stretched
and twisted out of all proportions by
the advocates of the bill that is load
ed to tho very muzzle with death
and destruction. We never read the
passages quoted before last week, I
and we reioice to know tbat our
former defence of the despised and
neglected Constitution was so thor
oughly in harmony with one of the
groat and noble lawyers of our land
one of the very greatest if not al
together the greatest.
Our article is already long enough,
but we must turn to one of the fa
thersto him of whomit can be said
with more of truth than of any other
man, that he was the father of the
Constitution. We refer, of course,
to James Madison, the fourth Presi
dent of the United States, and one
of the wisest men of the world's history-.
We avail ourselves of Sena
tor Coke's third very able speech in
the Senate against the Blair bilL Sen
ator Coke is discussing the "general
welfare". clause and says:
''The right of local self gOTernhfent, to
dear; to the people of all the States and so

thereto, if this but becomes a law, based as
it is on the theory that Congress may do all
things not prohibited in the Constitution
required by the general Welfare, and is the
exclusive judge or. what the 'general wel
tare does require, will nave received a
blow from which there is no recovery. For
what local rights have the states or people
if nut that of controlling the education of

says on this subject,
'There are consequences eull moreexten

doctrine combated, must either be admitted,
or the doctrine must be given up. if Con
gress can employ . money; indefinitely to the
general, welfare, and are the sole and supreme
judges of the general welfare, they may 'take
tne care oi religion into their own hands;
they may appoint teachers in every State,
county and parish, and pay them out of
their public Treasury; they may take into
their own hands the education of children,

object of State legislation down to the most
minute object pfpoltcet would be thrown un
der the power of Congress: for every
ooject 1 nave mentioned would admit of
the application of. money, and might be
called, if Congress pleased, provisions for
ine general welfare." ,- :
We never saw that opinion of Pre
sident Madison until aj few days ago.
It ls lprecisely in accordance with the
construction we placed,nponthe "gen
eral welfare" clause, as may be seen
by referring to the StIajj's . editorials
of some two weeks since. The Stab

expected to fail on the Irishrqliestiob The
utterance was made oy Mr. jaoriey, umei
. Secretary-for Ireland, in an addreea at the.
conferenceof 'Liberals held to-day. ' Mr.'
Morley was discussing the Irish situation.
He denounced Lord Randolph Churchill's
recent flaeiti6us attempt 'to .stir up civil;
war in Ulster,' and urged the Liberals to db .
their utmost to place their party in.a jiaie
of complete preparation for a general elec
tion ; 'fori said the speaker, me uovern-
ment is now lace to face witn tne insn
difficulty, and we will probably be com
pelled to make an early appeal to the country."-
. 'I . "vM'
It is thought not improbable that
the Government "may appeal to the
country and a new election be neia.
Al other, periods of English Consti
tutional history : frequent changes
have occured in the-Ministry irTaj
short time, as jthe student will readi
ly reoall. Mr. Morley's announce
ment is serious. He is in a position
to know of the difficulties that lie in
the way of the Liberal Ministry. He
says squarely that it "is now face to
Jace with he Irish difficulty " It is
evident, we suppose, that Mr. Glad
stone has discovered that a sufficient
majority cannot be counted upon
to enable him to carry out the
policy he favors, and which he be
lieves to be necessary. He therefore,
we may suppose, is anxious to be rid
of the responsibility of trying and
failing. Hence be will dissolve the
Parliament when the crisis comes.
Doubtless this determination will
shock the country, and shake up the
Tories. They are playing with dy
namite. Ireland's wrongs must be
redressed, and if they are not the
British landlords wiU be responsible
for it, and they must take the conse
quences of their factious opposition
and folly. One thing has been made
apparent: it is impossible for Ireland
to have justice without England's
consent. The English are learning,
too, and it may be that even the more
intelligent Tories may see after
awhile that Ireland is too near the
English shore only some three or
four hours steaming for safety and
quiet so long as grievances are not
redressed.
A BUiTtRIER CATJGBT.
If Tecumseh Sherman has not got
himself m a box then we are badly
fooled. We have before told of his
controversy with Gen. Fry. He de
nied having disparaged Grant in con
nection with the death of Gen. C. F
Smith. The sen tea ce quoted against
him by Gen. Fry occurred in a letter
of the old town-burner and bummer
addressed to Col. Scott. Old Cump
accused Fry of lying of inventing
the passage, but the evidence againBt
the inveterate scribbler is complete.
x'ljr uauguii me uiu liar cumpieieiy.
He comes out of the controversy al
most as discreditably as he did with
Gen. Hampton in the matter of the
burning of Columbia, S. C. It should
never be forgotten that this old bin
ner burned Atlanta and Columbia,
and a part of Fayertteville, and hun
dreds of dwellings and other build
ings m his march . through Georgia
and the Carolinas. He is the only
fellow in the nineteenth century who
organized a regular Corps of Bum
mers. See Draper History for the
wder organizing it. He is not the
only Federal General, however, who-
conducted ' war . not humanely and
upon the high plane, of modern civ
ilization, but as a Goth or Vandal
conducted it. He and some of his
brother officers were not a bit more
. just or humane than Alario or Attila
was. We are glad that the old bum
mer has been caught in a net of his
own weaving. . - .
The Stab was ridiculed for saying
that if the construction of the "gen

given it by the Blair. Grabbers then

"THE GENERAL, WELFARE
i CLAUSE."
j New York Star, Dem.
If Congress has the constitutional
power to levy taxes to establish and
maintain schools, because this action
would in it8 opiniori; promote the gen
eral welfare, it can levy taxes to ac
complish ; any 6ther object" that the
majority at the time may conclude
would prove beneficial ' Such' an ar
gument would justify, the overriding
or inengnis oi tne oouioern oiaiee
by reconstruction legislation, for
there rs no doubt that tne majority
of Congressmen, at that time, be
lieved that making the bouth sohdiy
Republican, by means of negro votes
directed by .Northern, adventurers.
would, very decidedly "promote the
general welfare."
The truth is that the interpretation
of the clause in question ia so plain
that it is obvious to the mind of any
one familiar with the history of the
formation of our present government.
The Constitution is an instrument
designed to establish a government of
limited and defined powers. Among
the powers and duties delegated to it
was that to provide for the gene
ral defense. The experience of the
frameri of the Constitution in the
revolutionary war had shown them
that this was not only the most con
venient and effective plan so far as
the several States were concerned,
but that it was absolutely essential to
the continued existence of any fede
ral government. In imposing upon
the new government the duty of pro
viding for the general defence, the
several States surrendered in specific
terms some of the rights they had
hitherto possessed, lhe btates are
forbidden to lay duties on tonnage,
to "keep troops or ships of war in
time of peace, enter into any agree
ment or compact with another btate
or with a foreign power, or engage
in war, unless actually invaded or in
such imminent danger as will not ad
mit of delay." Congress is also spe
cifically given power to call forth the
militia "to execute the laws of the
Union, suppress insurrections and re
pel invasions," and also to provide
for organizing, arming and disciplin
ing such of them as were called into
the service of the United States.
Furthermore, the President is made
not only commander-in chief of the
army and navy of the United States,
but "of the militia of the several
States when called into the actual
service of the United States."
Here was a complete act. The new
government about to be instituted
was given all the power necessary to
perform the duty imposed upon it,
and such power was taken from the
States. No room for doubt or clash
Ijngwas left. Does any man pretend
mat any sucn tning was done to en
able the Federal Government to pro
vide for the general welfare, as the
Republicans interprets the phrase?
On the contrary, every phrase in the
original Constitution limiting the
Federal power militates against such
a theory, and the restrictive amend
ments immediately afterward adopted
1 make such an interpretation prepos
terous, it is impossible to understand
how. any one who has ever given any
thought to the matter can, under such
circumstances regard the words
"general welfare," ; recited in such
connection, as containing a new and
comprehensive grant of powers not
oinerwise specmea.

We believethenf' that the great remedy
for the growing evil of lynching is a reform
in the general character of the juries by a
legislative act raising the pay of a juror to
living wages for his time, talent and ex
pensesf and forcing good, ' intelligent men
to serve, unless for extraordinarily good
reasons they wish to be excused. Were
this the case we,.belieye lynching would
soon stop, because the confidence of the
people in . trial by ." jury would be restored
and they would hopefully expect justice to
all parties. , Until this or i something better
is done great as is the evil, we believe
lynching criminals, will continue and; be
more frequent.- ZattnnJury Enterprise. ' .

will not order the "tie-up" to be loosened
until they hear from O'Donnell.
The demands of the men od Richardson's
Brooklyn roads have been granted. At
4 80 a. m the cars in Brooklyn were all
running on schedule time, except the At
lantic Avenue line, which went out on
Wednesday. There was no trouble at any
place in the city, the strikers having dis
persed
At 5 30 every line in the city had been
tied up.
New Yoex, March 5 At 10 30 o'clock
no disturbance had been reported to the po
lice. Not a car is tunning,, and the city
appears as if dead. Nothing like it has
been witnessed since .the worst days of the
epizootic, a dozen years ago.
Io Brooklyn seven roads, operated by
the Atlantic Avenue Railroad Company,
are "tied up," but no violence is reported.
The New York police are thoroughly
organized." and are confident of their ability
to repress promptly any disposition to riot
or disorder. Every' man able to put on a
uniform and carry a club was ordered on
duty last night, and fifteen hundred men
can to-day be concentrated at a moment's
notice at any point where danger may
threaten. Police headquarters looks like
an enormous bivouac of uniformed men,
held io readiness to answer calls from any
quarter. Squads of fifteen or twenty po
licemen were dispatched early to guard all
of the railroad depots and stables. Mount
ed men patrol Grand street and the route
of the Dry Dock Road from end to end, to
keep the route clear, in the event of an
attempt being made to run a car over the
road aa yesterday, to save the Company's
charter.
Superintendent Murray is determined to
suppress a repetition of yesterday's scenes.
No trouble, however, is apprehended.
The strikers preserve an attitude of quiet
determination, awaiting the result of the
conference now being held between the
Executive Committee of the Empire Asso
ciation and Railroad Commissioner O'Don
nell, who arrived from Albany this morn
ing, in answer to a dispatch demanding his
presence. It will be followed by a meeting
between the Commissioner and representa
tives of the railroads, that will decide the
line of future action.

Galveston, March 5. The meeting of
the Local Trade Assemblies adjourned after
midnight last night. It was determined
that the Mailory boycott should be imme
diately enforced against the Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe and the Missouri Pacific roads.
An order will at once be issued that every
Knight of Labor working on either of these
lines must refuse tohandle freight consigned
to or from the Mailory Company. ThU
will bring matters to a crisis,, as the roads
will be compelled to discharge the. men'
who refuse (o handle the boycotted freight,'
and then a general strike will probably fol-'
