After the delivery oi the iliiilomas, certificates und prizes, the Hon. John Randolph Tucker introduced Col. A. K. McClure, of the Rhiladelohin 'l’inies, who delivered an aide address lie fore the literary societies of the university on “The Lesson of Our Civil War.” It was- .admirably delivered and well received. Col. McClure opened his address with tlie following; words : “Do you shudder al the theme I nave chosen, f do not come to criticise tlie past. There ure deep wounds not wholly healed; there are fierce passions which, though enfeebled, have not perished; there are bereavements whose shadows linger in countless homes • Caesar did; but remember that Rome -v, never free, after the Rubicon had been -ossed. Trust the people ; educate the sople; tench them that eternal vigilance ■ over the price of liberty ; warn them Tains) every approach to despotic ou- lortty in a government whose supreme yvcrelgnty Is only in the people, and hose nation, state, country and home arc ilstinct os the.billows, yet one os the sea.’ ■n of Washington and Lee, I (Young me „ ave performed my task, and have striven > speak with greater candor than lscoin- 1011 on occasions such as this. I have re- lembercd that you will be leaders and .••iclier.s, in the vigor of vour lives, when io sovereign power of this fair land will ust in one hundred millions of people, and urely such great duties and such grand pportunities demand the counsels of rath ami soberness. If I have led you to lew thoughts and new appreciation of Uitv and country, however you may ci-ili- ise my premises and conclusions, I shall eel thut something has been done, in my ’nimble way, to preserve and advance the Tnndcst government and tile noblest peo ple of tiie earth.” THE PACIFIC ROADS. i In Hie l.ilTi-rilll ns on Tlielr Imleht- ilml lion it Should lie IJiltililnleil. whose shadows linger in countless homes ; and there are sorrows which are tempered by time hut not effaced. I come to speak to a new generation, to which we, who witnessed our great civil conflict, must noon give place. 1 do so because I address young men, must of whom were not born when Appomattox lieeume historic, and young men who, by reason of their better opportunities and attainments, are to tie teachers and leaders when the memorable names of the war shall lie known only in the exceptionally grand and thrilling history whose annals they have made il lustrious.” Col. McClure then went on to trace the causes that led to the memorable conflict. He scouted the idea that it was the creation of extremists in both sections. He asserted that “there were rational causes arising from sincerest conviction, which became too great for adjustment by statesmanship, and war came because of irreconcilable dis pute on problems which dulled solution by the methods of peace.” He advised hfs young listeners that, to be just to their country, they must intelligently and dis passionately search beneath the partisan and sectional rubbish of the day for the rational causes and tlie logical results of the struggle. “ Will it startle you,” said the orator. “ to be told that the germ of discord, that ripened into civil war after two genera tions had nourished it, was planted by the two most illustrious men of our history ? They were George Washington and Thomas Jefferson; men who made the grandest records of unsullied patriotism, of loftiest, heroism, of wisest statesmanship. They differed widely, radically, as to the true theory of popular government. Wash ington believed in a strong centralized government. Jefferson believed in tlie su preme power of the people ; and the con flicts between the elder Adams and Jef ferson surpassed even the intense partisan asperities of the present time.” "And what more beautiful or attractive theory could lie presented to a free people than the sovereignty of the states?” asked Col. McClure, “it was the bulwark of safety against the despotism of centralized power, and it quickened every instinct and impulse of a free people. Who could fore cast, the fearful peril with which it was fraught? It required no special perspicacity to appreciate the danger of disruption if Hamilton had triumphed over Jefferson and made centralization a positive feature of the new republic; but the sovereignty of the state appealed to freedom; it appealed to the pride of community; it appealed to the self-appreciation of individual man hood, and it appealed to t lie love and sanc tity of home, hut it rejected every attribute of nationality. “Centralized governmental authority hod visible peril; it invited despotic ele ments to effort; it appealed to the human infirmity that grnsps power; and its logical tendency is to the stealthy abridgement of popular rights. But the sovereignty of the state, in a government of free people, was beautiful and fragrant us tlie rose with its hidden thorns. Of the two great high ways open to tlie feeble and hesitating government, buth gave promise of future safety, both were beset with danger; and concession and compromise handed down succeeding generations the grave problems .t lie father could not solve. You naturally ravJk: ‘Was there no middle ground oil which I lie new nation could have been founded?’ No; there was no middle ground then; there is none now; there: can be none in the future.” To the student of history, the speaker said, the civil war would teach lessons of the grandeur of our country, and of the greatness and prosperity which tlie future harbored for its people. But the lesson of cur civil war is not fully presented by t he ! consideration of its primary cause's, its heroic history and the sublime progress it has achieved for free institutions and the I best civilization of the world. The lesson ; of our civil war is incomplete without noting and guarding against the chief peril tha1 comes with newly defined national ■soTCreignty. There was danger in t lie sovereignty of the state that dismantled the sovereignty of the nation, and there is danger in Die sovereignty of the nation that lias dismantled the sovereignty of Ha state. There is weakness in tiie very strength of our nationality, and it is clear ly taught by tile logical results of the war. The peril to free government to-day is cen tralization, and its deformed image lias been often visible since the war, as tin- legitimate offspring of debauched po litical authority. It disrupted the great party in power in 1872; and it was tlie un daunted friends of Lincoln who hulled at the threshold of despotic political power, : and. revolutionized the national adminis- j tration. They saw centralization in gov-I eminent, in Hnanoe, in business, in every channel wlu-re its power could reach with profit; and the industry of the north is convulsive to-day chiefly in protest against the common peril to industrial thrift and national safety that has been born of ecu- - tralization. “Ours is a government of law, and its safety is in the liberal and faithful admin istration of its laws for the beuettt of the people; and, while its supreme national at tributes are established, the sovereignty of the state isas sacred to-day, and as t ssen- tia! to the enjoyment of five government, as it was tv lien Jefferson triumphed as its standard-bearer in 18(10. The state is not sovereign against the unity of the repub- ' lir: but it is sovereign in nil else to assure ; thr happiness and prosperity of its eiti- i x* i s, exeept wherein all are alike restrained f\v the fundamental law.” The conclusion of Col. McClure s address NY as ns follows: “And there is one supreme sovereignty ! over all over state and nation; the ahso-j lute sovereignty of the “American people. 't hey reversed federal centralization in , 3S00, under Jefferson, because it was eon- j .strued to justify despotic oppression under color of law; and with reversed political powers was reversed the judgment of the highest court. They reversed the sever- j eignty of the state in 18(50. when it boldly asserted itself above national unity; and, j with it, again reversed the solemn judg- | inent of the iirst judicial tribunal of the republic. ‘With them and for them you will be called to do battle against the dregs of the despotism of war, thut will ever be plausi bly excused or justified, as centralization ; comes with gifts to open the citadel of gSSJSIX, A ^4 nst it? let your hatred be Your efforts be tireless; let K?eat ucrH l> V? m e be unabaUid - It is the pSU,° 1 but'n h '^“^'devlaHng its pur- ^g^wiUaffecTrrej^bfcmwn! The following interview with ex-Senator Thurman on tiie Indebtedness of the Pa- cilir- railroads to the government anil ns to a satisfactory- Battlement is printed in the Cincinnati Enquirer of the 11th inst. The statements of Mr. Thurman were made to the Enquirer's correspondent at Colum bus, Ohio: “The great point in the original funding act, known generally as the Thurman funding act, was to ussert the right of the government to control und regulate the subsized roads under the clause which em powered congress to amend, alter or repeal their charters. This won secured in the passage of the funding act, and the su preme court sustained its constitutionality, thus saving and establishing the rights of the government in the premises. “Mr. Blaine offered an amendment to the funding bill to surrender the fight of the government to ‘amend, alter or repeal,’ but I said that I would sooner see all the money the government had put into the roads sunk in the bottom of the Atlantic ocean than that it should surrender its sovereignty over them. In surrendering it everything would have been lost; in assert ing and maintaining it all the rights of the government and the people have been saved. Senator McDonald rendered valua ble and efficient service, both in commit tee and in the senate, in framing the bill. “I Httid in the debate that the hill was not what I could have made it. but it whs all We could got through the senate. The great principle of preserving the govern ment’s right of control was the important matter then. Nmv it is a mere matter of business and mathematical calculation to arrange for the reimbursement of tiie gov ernment by the railroad companies. I do not think that I can lie accused of partiali ty for these corporations, but I will say that there would tie neither wisdom nor statesmanship in endeavoring to impose unjust exactions upon the companies in arranging for the liquidation of their in debtedness to the government. It should be done in a fair and busineas-liko way, which would not impose onerous burdens on the one or entail loss or the danger of loss upon the other. That is all there is in the question as it now stands. “ I have not read the Outhwaite bill in its details, but am generally informed as to the nature of its provisions. They impress me favorably. They strike me as being faiT, just, and reasonable to all parties. The matter of the time of payment is of little consequence compared with the fact of tlie certainty that the government is to he reimbursed. If the government receives an amount in interest equal to what it pays upon its own loans, nnd the principal In regular and fixed installments; a few years more or less make but little difference. Therefore, with a general knowledge of the provisions of the bill, I regard it as satisfactory and just alike to the govern ment and the companies.” “Suppose that uo such business arrange ment as proposed is perfected prior to the maturity of the bonds; what then ?” “The roads would be sold upon the first mortgage, and the government would lose everything." “But could uot the government buy the roads, paying out tlie first mortgage and hold them ?” “Certainly, certainly; but I don’t think any good democrat, at least, wants the government to become the owner of tlie subsidized roads, with a lot of patronage, sueli us agents, conductors, superinten dents, officers of all kinds, and employes by the thousand, placed in the hands of j the administration. That would not be | wise, and, therefore, not democratic. | What we want is legislation that will se cure the government und the people, with out making tlie government the owner and operator of railroads.” "Is tlie pending bill at variance with the j principle of the original Thurman act?” “Not in any sense. The original scheme j of funding failed because of the withdrawal j of the government fives and the immense [ and unexpected premium oil the four-aiul- a-halfs und fours. After this it only re mained for congress to devise a plan and ' perfect legislation to secure the result made possible by establishing the principle of government control. This is what is aimed at by the present hill. II is a plain j proposition to secure the reimbursement of the government, and should be consul- ’ ered and acted upon as such. "The original act merely establishes the right of tlie government to secure and re- | imhurse itself. The funding act is lint :i part of the details made necessary by the causes mid circumstances 1 have enumera ted.” In Hu . Word.
