' " N v Published Every Thursday. CENTHALISAJON. These are the days when the cen- tralization idea "prevails. To spell nation with a big N, to aggrandize they Federal Government in every possible way, and to'sneer when it is hinted that a State has any rights or any powers, are the distinguish ing marks of the modern roan." 'l " 4 states- It has not always been thus. There1 has even been a time when the States were' all there was in this this country. This was after the Revolution and before the Constitu ti&n'iwas adopted. There were then thirteen States. Each was free, in dependent and sovereign. It is true-that during this time, for purposes of mutual aid and protec tion, the necessity for union among Ih e States was "un i versal ly ack a o w 1 -edged. But no union worthy of the name existed. There was some at tempt to unite under the?lrticles of Confederation. The ties that bound the States together were so loose that they "amounted practical ly to no ties at all. A few years experience with the Articles of Confederation demon strated that a genaraloreTlnment to be useful must be a government in fact as well as in name; and that its authority in those matters over which" it had jurisdiction must be binding alike on the States and on individuals." ' To his necessity for a general government, Willi sovereign powers, does our Constitution owe its origin. What is this. Constitution ? It is the charter by virtue of which alone our present Federal Government exists. It' is the title-deed to all the power that government has and can exer cise. It consists in a voluntary trans fer by the States to the United States Of certain powers necessary for the general good, to be administered by a central authority. The only pow ers therefore that can be exercised by the United States are those grafted by the Constitution, and those powers are ample for all the purposes for which the Federal Government was formed. In all those matters not granted by that instrument the States to day have the same sovereignty they have al ways had. This would have been so if the Constitution had been to tally silent on the subject. But it is notsilent. Before Virginia would ratify' it, she insisted that an express declaration on this point be insert fed. Hence the tenth amendment, uthe powers not granted to the United States hy the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respec: lively, or to the people." Can any Ihing be plainer or more explicit? These are matters of elementary constitutional history, you say. So they are, and every school boy ought to know them. But in some way a large proportion of the lead ing men of the country, Represen tati ves, 'Senators and even Judges, seem strangely either to forget or jruthlrsgly ignore them? 1 It is vitally important that the fundamental principles of our gov ernment be strictly adhered to. Any departure from them is fraught with danger. Acts of to-day may furnish precedents that in future days will rob u of all order and liberty. If the general government does not possess sufficient powers let's amend the Constitution and give them to it. But until this- is done let ui stick by the Constitution and not interpret and legislate it out of istence. ex- THE 'W0BL1T AND HILTON. . The New York World has finish ed up with Clerk Jarvis ami Sheriff Flack and now has ou its list Judge Henry Hilton. Hilton's "absorp tion" of .the Stewart millions is the reason 'the World gives for "camp ing on hie trail." It accuses him of every tiling that is mean and diabol ical. "Swindler" and "thief " are some of the little pet names that are applied to him. The 1 World ex f aios the ascendancy Hilton pos- ti I . ... . sessed over Stewart by saying it was due to V guilty secret involving Stewart's character and known only to Hilton. Hilton is prosecuting the World for libel, not on account of the things it haspublished against himself, but on account of what it had to say about Stewart. Since the prosecution was begun the World continues very industriously to peg away at Hilton, increasing in bitterness and venom all the time. We do not undertake either to applaud or condemn the World's course in this ease. We do not know enough of the merits of the case whether the charges against Hilton are well founded, what he has to say in defense of himself or the object the World expects to ac complish by its crusade The World ought to be able to give the best kind of reasons for its conduct in this matter, even if what it has to say is true. A newspaper these days, especially one of the great metropol itan dailies, can, by a word, blacken and ruin a man's character forever. If this word is spoken wrongfully and unjustly, an injury is done to the individual for which there is no adequate redress. The right to bo let alone belongs to a man just as securely as his right to be tried by a jury of his peers. It is a very rare thing that a newspaper is justifiable in making a personal attack on a private citi zen. Freedom of the press is a great thing ; it is one of the mud-sills of a free government, but there is such a thing as too much freedom. THE CONTEST IN THE SIXTH DISTRICT. Many signs point to -a - "heated fight fojjhjt-Congressional nomina tion in this District? Already seven candidates for the nomination have been entered, and the season is not up yet. The interesting feature of the game is that all the contestants are men of ability and fitness for the place, each exceptionally so, if we take the testimony of his special admirers. That either would make a creditable representative we do not gainsay, better than the average man now on the floor of the House. It is not then a question of fitness, rather it is a question of availability and of a representation that will best conserve the weal of the Demo cratic party and contribute most to the general interest of the larger number of those who are to be rep resented. To this gauge the ques tion seems to have settled and it has become necessary, in presenting the claims of any one candidate, to indicate his "calling and election" as to a business status. What pro fession or occupation is he engaged in, and what promise does his busi ness relation sustain to the larger number of the people ? We have farmer candidates and we have law yer candidates.. How many dis tinctively, of each, we have forgot ten. We know this, however, that Richmond county presents a man who is more'nearly a round repre sentative of the two combined than any other man in the District. Not being an organ, the Rocket would not assume to dictate to the Con vention its duty, rather would we bow our heads to its decree and go for the man it nominates, provided always he is a fit man and sound Democrat, even though our predi lections were, entirely ignored. Everything else being, equal, we may be found always for Richmond county and in the present contest we recognize in her candidate for Congressional honors a man equal atleast in ability to any other of the aspirants ; singularly gifted in pow ers of public speaking, which are heightened in effect by good ap pearance before a crowd ; literally brought up on a farm, and now connected extensively with farming operations in this county ; long in the practice of law ; and in both oc cupations he may be reckoned to have achieved a very fair success. We will add, although it would i-eem unnecessary after the portrayal given above, that Riohmond s can didate is James T. LeGrand, Esq. What it Ccsts must be carefully considered by tlie great majority of people, in buying even neaess'fties of life. ; Hood's Sar saparilla commends itself with spe cial force to the great middle classes, because it.combines positive econ omy with great medicinal power. It is the only medicine of whieh can truly be said "100 Doses One Dol lar," and a bottle taken according to directions , will . average to last a month. .. . , ...... . The "King's Daughter," of Greens boro, are;; working to build a city hospital. Another Horror. Norwtch, N. Y., May 8. Georgia Dibble'and her pipe caused the loss of 13 lives in the Chenango county poor house last night at midnight. She was an inmate, of the insane ward, and after finishing her pipe sne put h in ner pocset. iter cloth ing caught fice, and from them the firespread until the Uamesenvelop ed the whole building. So fierce was the heat and so rapidly had the fire spread that the keepers were compelled to retreat to save themselves. A few of the idiots, babbling and jabbering, ran with the keepers, who cried the alarm as they went. Some of the patients were so badly burned that they fell to the ground as soon as they reached a place of safety. There are still a considerable number of violent patients in the woonab JV4o8t ot those who escaped had been I kept in the closest con finement on account of the peculiar nature of their maladies, and it is not at all safe for them to be at large. The posse of the sheriff is scouring the entire 'country in search of the fugitives. Two of the seven who were captured were found five miles away and resisted vigorously before they allowed themselves to be re taken. Thirteen perished in the flames. The loss on the building is $40,000. Senator Back Drops Dead. Washington, May S.Senator Beck, of Kentucky, dropped dead at the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad station, in this city, a few moments after 4 o'clock this afternoon. The Senator spent yesterday in New York city, and had just arrived on the 4 o'clock train from that city. He alighted from the train and while passing into the station fell, and immediately expired. The news of his death .was. leh?- pnonea. in- ltnsenate. Upon its an fwuhceraent, the Senate at once ad journed. Senator Beck had been to New York, where he had been consult ing physicians in regard to his health. -He said a few moments be fore he dropped dead, to a friend who stopped him as he was getting his baggage checked, that he felt very well, and that his Nw York doctor told him there was nothing seriously the matter with him. Hardly had he uttered the last word before he dropped dead. His daugh ter, Mrs. Goodloe, who had been to New York with him, called for assistance, and the Senator was laid upon a stretcher. Senators Ransom, Paddock, Walt hall, and Bwtler arrived at the depot in a few minutes, and accompanied the remains to the residence of Con gressman Breckeuridge. HIS CAREER. . Senator Beck was born in Scot land, Feb. 13, 1822. He received an academic education in his native land, and, coming to this country as a youth, graduated in law at Transylvania University, Lexington, Ky., in 1846. He practiced law in Kentucky for many years, and held no iifiice (although he took part in politics) until he was elected to Con gress in 1869. He remained a mem ber of the House of Representatives for 8 years, when he was elected to the Senate. He took his seat in the Senate March 5, 1877, and he was twice re-elected. A Cat's Fatal Bite. Danville, Va., May 9. A special to the Register from Ruffin, N. C, says: David Stokes, a colored man, attempted to drive a house cat from the room, and poked it with a stick. The animal became enraged, flew upon Stokes, and buried her teeth in his arm. The animal held on with such tenacity that it was ne cessary to sever her head from the body before friends could release the man from the clinched teeth. Stokes was taken ill, and though he showed no symptoms of hydropho bia, he died in 24 hours. A Sad Condition. I suffered for five years with the worst form of Blood Poison, during which time I was attended by the best physicians I could find, and tried numbers of proprietary medi cines without any beneficial results. I continued to grow worse all this time, until my whole system waB destroyed by the vile disease; my tongue and throat having great holes cadsed by it. I then commenced taking Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) and in a few months I was entirely cur ed, and to this great medicine do I attribute my recovery.. This was over two years ago, and I have had no return, or any effects of the dis ease since, and my skin is to-day as smooth and clean as anybody's. William Sowers, Covington, Ohio. Boils all over his Body. Six bottles of Swift's Specific (8. S. S.) cured me of a horrible attack of Boils that had broke out all over my body, and from which I could get no relief. I feel that if it was not for your great medicine I would be in my grave to-day. W. J. Mitchell, Marion, Ala. Treatise on Blood and Skin Dis ease's mailed free. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Ga. A company has been formed in Asheville to bore for natural gas. It seems to us entirely unnecessary. A fellow named Ritch whn several weeks ago teaching the ne groes some sort of laundry bus iness and lecturing them upon mor ality and temperance, got into the wrong pew when he struck camp at Laurens, S. C. There he advised the negroes, in his first lecture, not to work far anybody on Sunday and to strike for Irlgher wage. Some of the negroes reported his language to the white people, and at the conclu sion of his second lecture he was intercepted on his way to the hotel and given a genuine, old-fashioned flogging with switches. His inju ries were such as to lay him up, but he was not seriously hurt. Itch, Mange, and Scratches on humans or animals cured in 30 minute? by Wool ford's Sanitary Lotion.
