Sad Bereavenent.
[From the Nasbvlilo Union aud Amarican-
We are pained to learn from n tele
graphic dispatch received yesterday, of
toe death of Mias Emma Hatcher, only
ohild of our esteemed friend John l£
Hatcher, of the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal. She was on her way home from
Iuka, Mississippi, and reaching Paris,
Tennessee, was seized with a congestive
chill, which terminated in death. The
dispatch states that her remains will be
taken to Oolumbia, Tennessee, for inter
ment. The circumstances attending the
death of this beautiful young young girl
are peculiarly distressing. Early last
fall, in company with her farther, she
proceeded to Aiken, South Carolina,
with the hope of restoring her health,
which had been feeble for some time
previous. She spent the winter there,
aud to all appearances had g;eatly iin-*
proved. During the spring she was
taken to Iuka, Mississippi, where she
continued to improve rapidly, ana the
doting farther feeling assured that a per
manent cure had been effected, poseed
through this city a few days ago to ac
company his daughter back to Louisville.
The sad intelligence conveyed aBm#
teUa the reat. Truly do wo sympathize
with the parents in a bereavement so
sndden and unexpected. If eatly death
waa to be the fate of his only child, it
would have been consoling at loaht to
First Lesson for Republican Be
ginners.
From the N. Y. World of June 7th. 1871.
A ferment exists among Republican
newspapers in the oountry. It is to be
seen ail along the line of office-holders.
The yaaid in the dough is whal this jour
nal has said about the Ku-Klux law and
the purpose of Grant Republicans to blot
out the Btates so as to leave practically
bat om government, with its political
centre in Washington. The local organs
of Republicanism sputter about the
World furiously. We, however, detect
in so many of these country journals that
the inapnng cause of their unhappiness
ia ignorance of the Federal Constitution
and its authorized interpretation that
we have determined to do what we can
to supply the vacuum before entering
with them on serious discussion and ex
planation. The volumes of decisions of
the Federal Supreme Court alone num
ber nearly eighty, to say nothing of ad
judications of inferior tribunals. A Re-
publioso tax and tariff have made
these Volumes and all others frightfully
expensive, and we appreciate the Inabili
ty of most Republican journalists to pro
cure them. Therefore we have directed
the World librarian to make t\ brief di
gest and citotion of a few leading cases
of constitutional • questions explaining
wbat the Supreme Court has said are the
legal relations existing between the gen
eral government and the States. What
to-day are elementary, but when
studied by our Republican contem
poraries ws will give a second lesson.—
in the meantime, we advise that they
paste this instalment in a conspicuous
place near the editorial desk.
The several States which composed the
Union, so far fet least as regarded their
municipal regulations, became entitled
floe* the time when they declared them
selw * indepencjepb to Jl the rights and
poweto of Boveiei^h States, and did not
derive them VGUI‘ concessions of
British King. The treaty of peace
tains a recognition of the inaepeedi
of these States, not a grant of ii Hi
the laws of the several State gov
era men ts passed after the declara
tiou of independence were the laws
of the sovereign Htatea, and
such were obligatory on the people of
each State. (Supreme Court, 1808, Mo
Ilvaine rs. Coice. 4 Cbanch, 209; Thii#
Circuit (V. J.) 1880, Bennett rs. Boggs,
Baldwin, 00.)
Prior to the adoption of the confeder
ation the several States were considered
separate and independent governments.
(Warren Manufacturing Company
JKkna Insurance Company, 2 Paine, 501.)
For all national purposes
braced by the Federal Constitution the
States and the citizens thereof are one,
united under the same sovereign author
ity, and governed by the same laws; in
ull other respects the States ore
rily foreign and independent of each
other. * r -( lindcner vs. Irbiley, 2 Pftehh,
1390. Washington, J, Dodgers. Woolsey,
18 H., 850. Wayne, J.)
The respective States are sovereign
within their own limits and foreign to
each other, regarding them as local gov
ernments. (Bank of Ihs United States vs.
Daniel, 12 Peters, 33. Bank of Augusta
rs. Earle, 13 Peters, 520. Dodg<
Woolsey, 18 H, 350-1.
- The Union was made by each of the
States conceding portions of their equal
sovereignties for all of them, and the
Constitution acts upon them conjunctive
ly and separately, and also upon their
citisena (lkslgevs. Woolsey, 18 H., 851.)
With th* exception of the powers sur
rendered by the Constitution of the
United States, the people of the several
States are absolutely and uncondiUpuully
sovereign withfn tl eir respective teiVito-
ries. (Ohio JJfe Insurance SItf- Trust
Company vs. Deboll, 16 H.,-£Afc)
All the legislative poyypt, granted by
the Federal Constitution are conoessions
of sovereignty from tlftf u people of the
States. (Dodge vs. Woolsey, 18 H., 349.)
The powers of the Federal Government
are limited ; it possesses none bat such
as are delegated. (United States vs. Ba ly,
1 McLean, 234. McLean, J.
The Federal Government being form
ed for certain puipoaea is limited in it*
powers, and cau in no case exercise au
thority where the power has not been
delegated ; the States are sovereign with
the exception of certain powers which
have been invested in the general gov
ernment and inhibited' to the States.—
ipraig vs. Missouri, 4 Peters, 463. Mc
Lean, J.)
It would be as gross usurpation on the
part of the Federal government to inter
fere with Shite rigid thy an exercise of
powers not delegated as it would be for a
State to interpose its authority against a
law of the Union. (Ibid.)
The Federal government is one of del
egated powers, aiid till powers not dele
gated to it or inhibited to the States are
reserved to the States or to the people.
Briscoe rs. Bank qf Kentucky, 11 Peters,
States vs. The Bright Star, 8 Ink It. Ren,

The words “all laws necessary and pro
per for carrying into execution powers
expressly granted” means laws not abso
lutely necessary, but appropriate, aud
plainly adapted to constitutional and le
gitimate ends which are not prohibited,
but consistent with tlio letter and spirit
of the Constitution; laws really calcula
ted to effect objects intrusted to the gov
ernment. Hepburn vs. Orisioold, 8 Wal

to restrain the limited government estab

exercise of powers uot clearly delegated,

The sovereignty of the Uuited States
and of a State are distinct and indepen
dent of each other within their respec-
&r l some*1timai tiTC of action, though both exist
., and exercise their powers within the same
territorial limits. (Ablnnm tt. Boulh,
21 H., 508.)
No department of the government can
disturb any one of the safeguard* of civil
liberty incorporated iuto the Constitu
tion, except so far as the suspension of
the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus
is thereby authorized. (Ex part* .1
y/ni, 4 Wallace, 4.)
No State has the right to place Metric
Lions npbn commerce between the States
of the Union. {Baltimore rs. Gunnell*,
tiUe anil Southern Penntulvanin Railway
Company, 19 Prm, L. J., 576, a c. 13

. Ueorgia Politics.
[From th* New York Express, June fth.
A correspondent of the THbune, writ
ing from Augusta, Ga., draws rather s
sorry picture of the condition of the
Radical party in that State. In conver
sation with a Radical Judge that gentle
man is reported to have said that the Re
publican party of the State ia
“hopoienaljr ruined. It is divided into two factions,
one Jod by BuHork ami BludN«‘tt, and tbe other by

The quarrel between these iactiQUM. xltlui tgh rn-.ngh
in )Uelf to destroy the party, was not the unit trim
ble. The bed appoint
bod arrayed all me w
Mate against the Republicans, and had'dnvra it all
iuto the Democratic party. Most of the appointee*
wore worthlees fellows who had been sloughed off the
*■ my at the end of the war, and who had been ap-
iiidntrd in preference to men of character who would
have aoeepted ofttoes. He declared that there were
now no white Republicans in the State except ufhee-
holders. As to the nr}<m*«. ^ uipatuie* were
naturally with the Republicans, but any man who
thought he could build up a party of negroes would
be greatly mistaken. They wore, he said, quite t
trustworthy, and could easily be lnllaenced by tb.
employers, or induced to sell their vote for say small
sum. Hekn-w of intelligent negroes, who hat] been

had eHtablished such a terrorism that uo witness**
would testify against tnem.’'
In many counties, he says, the “ land
owners have organized ” to “ put these
gangs down and protect the negro labo

The
enoe of the Cuurier-Jvurnn\ from
inton, the 9tb instant Bays
This oommnnity wns startled to-day
again by the announcement that another
government official had proven a de
faulter to the amount of thirty thousand
lolluns. T!.e accused is Mr. F. A. Ma-
artney, disbursing clerk of the Fostoffioe
Department, who has heretofore stood
Vfiy fair in this city. He has been ill
for some time, aud his illness resulted,
as his friends say, in insanity, and he
was yesterday conveyed to the insane
asylum. This morning it was whispered
about that he wns s defaulter. Postmas
ter-General Ureswell wan first informed of
the defalcation on Friday last, ami im
mediately commcnoed to investigate the
inattor. He has not yet ascertained the
exaot amount of the loss, bnt it will not
be very far from thirty thousand dollars.
Mr. Macartney, on being confronted with
the Postmaster-General, it is said ac
knowledged the defalcation and said it
aa caused by his having invested in two
speculations—the water power at Har
per’s Ferry, formerly owned hy the GoT-
emment and the Weeks marble quarry,
above Harper’s Ferry. Macartney told
the Secretary he did not know the exaot
amount he had invested in these enter
prises, but lie assigned the amonnt, with
ills other effects, to the snreitiee on his
bond, and in the Department of Justice,
now investigating the matter, they are of

The furniture and tittings of Willard’s
Hotel will be found advertised for sale in
another column, an event, which of
course, foreshadows the breaking up of
that institution, so far at least os the pres
ent proprietors are concerned. There
are few establish men (e in the country
which have the stow that this old host-
lery has. For the lost teu years it has
been closely oouuectod with the history
of the oountry, and if its old walls aud
corridors would only tell one-half ot
what they have heard aud witnessed, the
volume would be indeed an interesting
one. Willard’s during the war was the
headquarters of the army not in the field,
and generous contractors willing and
anxious to sene their couutaj.
It may not be generally known, but it
is nevertheless true, that Pope’s dis
patches and onU rs. headed “Headquar
ters iu the Saddle,” wire written in a
quiet parlor in Willard * overlooking the
Avenue. McClellan, too, cut a magnifi
cent dash there for some time. His
idygnard was the most splendid array
that American general ever had. Fifty
or a hundred men mounted ou coal-black
horses, composed it while he was in
Washington, and the sight of them,
drawn up around the hotel, with flnahing
sworda, formed a scene not easily forgot
ten. McClellan was a magnificent fellow
at Willard’s; but he watt uot.quite up to
popular expectation on tbe Peninsula.—

The American owuers ot estates in Cu
ba are still compluiuing thut, through
tbe efforts of the »genu*ot Sp.iiu in Wash
ington and elaewhi re, their claims are
constantly misr. presented. The ques
tion at issue betw. eu them and the Cap-
taiu General, tliev say, is uot one of dam
ages »t all, bnt whether they shall be al
lowed to regain immediate possession of
their property—fifteen months after the
borne Government bud ordered its re
lease—or wait till the authorities of the
island have sold one or two more valua
ble crops and obtained the money for
them* Tbeae men expect to go liefore
the commisaiouers with their claims for
damages already done. The crops on two
of the large estates haw Iteeu sold for
from two to three hurnln d thousand dol
lars ; but what they most complain of is
that,.while tho home Government has
ordered the restoration <«f their property,
the Captain General stands as an imptHli-
ment in tbe way of the execution of the
order. The statement that many of these
estates have neen relcas- d is true, but
this has not been done until the owners
have been forosfi t<* p«y l-vr*?o suras of
money, and those who own estates still
claim that they have the right to recover
them without further low. What these
claimants desire to have our Government
do is to inform Spain that her orders
have not been executed, aud perempto
rily demand that she cause them to bo
obeyed alouoc.
