Thej Charleston Sun our youn South Carolina evening contemporary that shinos so luminously has an edw torial on the opinion of Judge James Iredell relative to State Rights, upon : which the Stab commented, and asks if he 'was before Jefferson ?" We cannot answer. It is certain that as early is A. D. 1792 Judge Iredell took strong ground in behalf of State sovereignty and unsurrendered rights! jJIow early Mr. Jefferson be gan to write concerning the reserved rights! of the States we do not know not having aocess to his writings at this time. He was dissatisfied with the original Constitution, believing it was framed in distrust of the people, and that it was defective, if not dangerous, in some particulars. He was not a member of the Constitu tional Convention, being absent in France in 1787. Bat it was his great ; intellect that first suggested the system - the Executive, the Legis lative and the Judiciary. It was mainly through him that steps were so booe taken for the adoption of the tweivej J Amendments, that were framed in protection of the States and in distrust of the Federal power. Whether J udge Iredell was the first jtoj apply the State Rights prinj ciples or not, we are cot informed but he jwaa no doubt the .first to give official expression to thera. He said, and his words are well worth re peating j: . I "Every State in the Union in every in stance where Its sovereignty has not been delegated to the United States, I consider to be as completely sovereign as the United States are in respect to the powers surren dered, j The United States are sovereign aa to alt powers of government actually surrendered; each State in the Union ha sovereign tm tn nil fh must necessarily be so, because the United States have no claim to an authority, but such ai tlie States have surrendered to them; of course the part not surrendered must re main ns it ciid before." 1 ; After; the Constitution had been adopted; Hamilton ! and Madisoni neither with the moderate them (the States) nearly the whole charge or interior regulation is; com mitted or left." f Nay. he ia still more explicit, for he adds, that "to them and the people all powbbs not expressly delegated to the Nation al Government abb expressly re served." There are other well known oases in which similar views are held. They are found in Wallaoe and Wall. The present Chief Justice has given out no uncertain sound as to this very important matter. He is an alumnus of Yale and a native of Connecticut. He holds this: U "The Government of the United States is one of delegated powers alone. Its au thority is limited and defined by the Con stitution. All powers not granted to it by tiiat instrument are reserved to the States or thepeople." , ' This is good'readfng for the times when the trend in the Republican pary is towards consolidation. It is seen that such j able Republican Jurists as Chase and Waite are in harmony with the views of Judge Iredell in 1792. Judge Miller, in his Centennial oration, took ground in favor of maintaining intact local Tat Biters Bit. ) I ; A story comes from . Weldon about a well known engineer on the Atlantic ooast iilne who is said to be a little superstitious. He feels ; sad if he chances to look at the new moon over his right shoulder, and always makes a cross mark in his path when he has to turn back for something that he has forgotten. It is said that he will travel a mile out of his way to avoid a grave-yard and carries the left hind foot of a rabbit in iiis pistol pocket. Some of the conductors on the line attempted to play a joke on this en gineer a few days ago. They hired a coffin from Mr. Emory, a dealer at Weldon, and placed it in the room of the hotel occupied by the engineer on his arrival. It was midnight when nis tram came in and the tired en gin eer retired to his entered his room apartment. As he he stumbled over but selfjgQvernment. there was a scene in McKendree Methodist Church, Nashville,' last Sunday morning. The pastor, Rev W. R. Candler, denounced theatres and actors generally. Emma Ab bot , was in the audience and after the Bermon arose j and replied. I She protested that there was no stain on her! good name.! Ia special to the World 6&ja: . j "She said she would speak of such no Die women aa Jenny Irfnd, Albani, Mod jeaka and countless other lights of the staize who had led exemplary lives; woo had devoted themselves to doing , good deeds, and who were nnhle vIih and mothers. ' 1 I ' : i ' i ' ' "The minister had an objection to pray eis beiug siing in the operas,, but when she knelt down to sing the prayer in 'Mignon' and the 'Bohemian Girl' those words came right- from her heart. In all the operas giveri last week there j was no impure or improper allusion, and , because one occa sionally finds vice in the pulpit or upon the Staire tbere it DA reoann fnr anh nknl. some denunciation, which, in her opinion, was entirely false and uncalled for. Be fore the deafening applause that followed Miss!! Abbott's remarks had ceased, Mr. Candler said : j ' jl will not undertake to reply to the lady,' as she is a lady, for such a perform ance is more suited to the theatre than to the house of God.' "j I j vention create ment tion. of whom was in harmony -wont to I men in the Con- work to try to a favorable public senti m behalf of the Constitu That instrument w.ia compromise, and was much less strong than they wanted it, especial ly Hamilton. It was alsotoo strong tor thegenume Republicans the real Democrats of that time. It be came, necessary to calm as far as pos- j punu lears. mere was a strong party in North Carolina, as in other States, that was afraid of the proposed instrument. Hamilton and Madison in their frequent essays sought to allay or remove the fears. In Number 9 of the "Federalist," Hamilton distinctly declared that "The Confederacy may be dissolved, and the Confederates preserve their sovereignty." What did he mean ? Clearly ( that the States were still sovereign -had not surrendered their sovereignty, and that the States would exist even though there was no Confederation or Union of States. Sonnoj jdoctrine! Madison in the 40tb number, as Hamilton does the, the Gov. Lee stands by Attorney General A j res, land justifies his course. He sajs jif the' Supremo Court shall sustain Judge Bond that thelsooner the States move for a Constitutional Amendment the bet ter. A Richmond dispatch to the N. Y.

He at once returned to the yard of the hotel, where bie secured a billet of wood and ascending to his room, 'de liberately smashed the coffin into splinters.

When they saw the wrecked coffin they heaved a sigh of disappointment and cnagrin, but gathered i up the frag ments and sent them to Mr. Emory, when the latter Returned a bill for sixteen dollars, which the conductors had to pay. , 1 ; 1 " Jar or. for ttae Criminal Court.

Slover a,nd Willliam Cleve. A committee has tlso been appointed on the part of the I Cotton Exchange for the same purposes, j Improvement In-Trad, r ' Num erous letters have been re ceived at the Star office, from differ ent parts of this State, all bearing testimony to thefaof; that the bust ness outlook is better than It has been for years. In Wilmington wholesale dealers report a largely in creased trade, and merchants are cheered and gratified at the nrosneot of its continuance. Cotton is coming in more abundantly than eyer be fore the receipts being over twenty three thousand bales in excess of last year, so far and the handling of this gives remunerative employment to a large number of men, in offices, ware houses, along the river, at the com presses and on the. seven large steam ships loading at the port. Thus there is every indication that business this fall and winter will con tinue to be satisfactory, at least. The effects of good crops and Improved trade are already discernible. Home merchants as well as people from the country have an air of contentment and general confidence, which has been noticeably absent for years. Real estate is increasing in valn and nu merous building enterprises are still on foot, despite rthe unusual activity in this direction the past summer and which it was thought would more XI .: . ' man suppiy me demand for resi dences and places of business. Marked improvement in business is noted also at other places, and in all sections of the country; but it is more noticeable in the South. Of this Wil mington is probably getting a full share, and yet with a little exertion and united effort on the part pf her people, she mayj get still more. Let them secure the extension of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad to.this city.build the railroad to Ons low, give us a free ferry; and then, with the extension I of the Carolina Central to j Asheville, an era of boundless J prosperity would dawn upon her. Commerce would be mul tiplied, her population increased by tens of thousands, mills and manu factories would spring up, and the busy hum of industry would be heatd on every hand. Tne Onslow Railroad. The Board of Commissioners for this county met in adjourned session yesterday to consider the request of the Wilmington, Onslow & East Caro lina Railroad Company for the re lease to the company of the old plank road extending from Seven teenth street to the Pender county line.

Without the action of the States there would be no FederaljUnion: but with the Federal Union these would still remain inde pendent sovereign States. That is what both Hamilton and Madison soijght to impress npon the thirteen States before the Constitution had been adopted. Smce'the war tho Supreme Court hai made some very important deci sions that it is well to acquaint our selves with. Chief Justice Chase held thai "The Constitution in all Its provisions looks to an indissoluble Union composed of indestructible States. He has the old Websle nan Story ide.i mingled with the Iredell-Calhoun idea. The Union, he holds, could not be dissolved, nor the ;States destroyed. But it has been very plainly ehown by Bledsoe, ex-President Davis and Alexander H. Stephens that Secession was a Con' stitutional right before the war Bledsoe's argument has never been answered. It is not too much to say that it will never be answered. Even Daniel Webster" on more than one occasion admitted that the Constitution was "a compact." j In his great debate with Hayne he' de nied, however, that it was a "Jom- pact,-a,nd said if it was thai the Union could be dissolved. Chief Justice Chase in the same case referred to above-(Texas vs White) held thatthe separate1 and independent autonomy to the States" was still preserved in spite of I the war. In another case he uses the language "the independent authoritv of thetates." in it: he C. It. to Fayetteville and give them "u: unev wunout money and without Pnce." . ... i . "better outlijt" and without a cent to be paid for the fun will in deed be a big inducement. But will the; C. F. & Y. V. see it in that light? And then that big million of dollars in the way too. If Wilming ton knows its own interests it! will sea toit that a road from Fayette-1 ville to this city is constructed, j ! If Bond, the nineteenth cenlnry Jeffries, is allowed to have his way unobstructed and unresisted, there is nO:telling what he may not attempt.

Hospital Bareau has received a tele gram from Deputy Collector 8pencer, Tampa, Fla , of which the .following is a copy: .; : . f Twenty-six cases in ail, with two deaths; questionable as to the cause of the death of the two, A majority of the sick is convalescing. The town is depopulated and very little material is left. The doc tors 'disagree as to whether the disease is dengue or yellow fever. Dr. George W. Btoner, chief of quarantine division, says that if it is dengue thereis no cause for alarm, nor necessity for rigid quarantine, but if a doubt exists it is proper to act on the Bide of safety.! Dengue, or. as it is sometimes called, breakbone fever, is a very distressing, infectious disease; not con tagious in the usual acceptation of the" term, and rarely fatal unless complicated with some other disease. Dengue prevailed in the West Indies and many places in the South about fifty years ago, and was pre valent in several Southern cities in 1850, .especially in Charleston, where about four fifths of the population were attacked, but only a few deaths relatively occurred. In yejlow fever, on the other hand, mortality is Sometimes , as high as seventy-five per cent, snd if not counteracted by proper -quarantine restrictions the disease may spread from place to place during warm weather. Frost kills It. Dr. Stoner be lieves the disease at Tampa to be yellow fever." i - Jacksonvtllb, Fla., Oct. 9.

This, to say the very least and that ia indeed, very much-will give to Greensboro cheap coal and iron ore, the two necessary factors in the building of manufactures here, besides that it will make it as "easy" to use a common phrase "s falling off a log" for the C.
