Senator Conkling’s man Cornell, lias beon
nominated as the Republican candidate for
Governor of New York. If he should be
elected, it will be proof that the people of

besmirch his own fame and office, or to flirt
his filth over the sacred muniments of a
private citizen.
The Skull Broken with an Axe.—A

If Mr. Renfroe, State Treasurer, or any
other official holding office, as a servant
of the people, is not satisfied with the sal
ary or compensation affixed by law, he
should at once resign the office. If he is
too poor, or has an ambition too lordly to
live within the salary of bis office, he
should not have accepted it; and evpry day
he holds it witli the intention or exp.'cta-
tion of using his official position to make
money by reason of that position, outside of
his salary, he is guilty of a great wrong to
the people, and they should demand his
resignation or expulsion from office.
Unfair it is, on the part of some of the in
discreet friends of Gov. Colquitt to charge
that the effort of Col. Jas. A. Green to get
what he believes to De his legal rights, was
an attempt to injure Gov. Colquitt. If any
paper lias done justice to Gov. Colquitt we
think we have not been behind the fore
most. But we caut see how a claim on the
State, as its agent, can be construed into an
attempt to injure its Governor. Gov. Col
quitt niav be right in his employment of
Mr. Tuggle as advisory attorney—lie lias
declared tie was—but we do not think it fair
to put a construction on Col. Green’s Me
morial that would make it an attack on the
administration of Gov. Colquitt.

THE COMPACT OF l.MO.Y.
In article No. 5, we showed, not by a de
af our own, nor of any Other man,
the Articles of <9on-
federatiou, was made a League, but by the
formal declaration erf all the States through
their accredited delegates in congress as-
•wnbled. It was seen that they ddelared,
In Article 3: “The said States hereby se
verally enter into a firm League of Friend
ship with each other, for their common de
fence, the security of their liberties Ac.,”
and, among other reasons given, to main
tain the "sovereignty'' of each. For the sake
of brevity we will avoid any lengthy disser
tation upon the nature and characteristics
of such leagues as have been formed in an
cient or modem times. We will, therefore,
state that all writers, upon the laws of na
tions and their intercourse with each other,
unite in defining a League to be “A treaty
of alliance between sovereigns, or Statesand
define it in a single word to be “a confeder
acy." Nearly twenty years after the for
mation of the first constitution, known as
the “Articles of confederation,” and nearly
ten years after that constitution cease.I to
exist, and the constitution of 1787 had been
in operation, the supreme court of the Uni
ted States delivered the following opinion.
It was elicited in a case before the court in
the year 1796, Chief Justice, delivering the
opinion: “I consider this as a Declaration,
not that the United Colonies jointly in a
collective capacity, were independent
States, Ac., but that each of them was a sov
ereign and Independent State; that is, that
each of them had a right to govern itself
by its own. authority and its own laws,
irithout any control from any other jmcer on
earth."
Still later, in 1834, Chief Justice Marshall
affirmed from the Bench: “It has been said
that they (the states* were sovereign, were
completely independent, and were connec
ted with each other only by a League. This
is true."
We could cite other decisions of the su
preme court, and other proofs from the acts
of congress, and Uie declarations of dis
tinguished statesmen, jurists, and public
writers of eminence, from the earliest days
of the formation of the American confeder
acy to the present time, to prove that the
American revolution was fought by a league
of sovereign and independent States, and
not by a consolidation of the people of those
States into a single national power. Such
was the character of our political structures
up to the time of the formation of the con
stitution of 1787, which still exists and un
der which we now live. The League which
was to be perpetual was dissolved. The
states were thrown upon their original iso
lation morally and politically; each State
was released from every pledge to adhere
to the league and was placed precisely in
the state it occupied at the close of the war
when the King erf England gave up the con
test, concluded with it a treaty of peace, ac
knowledging it to be a free sovereign and
independent nation of the earth.
We now come vo the consideration of the
formation of the constitution of 1787. No
state was chained then to the car of con
solidation. No man had the effrontery to
face a fellow man of another state and say
to him, my will shail be your law. No dele
gate, from any state, had the hardihood to
say to a delegate from another State, this
is a perpetual union and you must now
meet me to make it more acceptable or be
forced to it if you dare resist. If such lan
guage had been used then by oue state to
another, or one section to another, neither
former love, nor murderous caDnou, mu-
iron fetters could have neutralized the re
pulsions of hatred that would have follow
ed. Anarchy like a tempest would have
swept over the laud and all the trophies of
victorious freedom would have crumble'l to
ruins in its track. But no, one state to an
other said; come sister, in your royal robes
of freedom, great in fame, to be celebrated
in future story—crowned with all the hon
ors of a sovereign—come and meet us up
on equal terms, and let us open a new act,
in our political drama, more glorious if
possible than our achievements in war, or
thus far, in poace, to make us prosperous
and liappy—the centre of the world’s admi
ration, and the exemplar, in Government,
of all that can lead to the regeneration ot
mankind and their emancipation from po
litical bondage. Such was the invitation in
spirit, if not in actual words. This finally
drew them together by an irresistible mor
al attraction. We say finally, because ef
forts were being made in State Legislatures
and in Congress for over six years to bring
tiie States together in convention to form a
new a institution. After so long a time,con
gress, on the 21st of February, 1787, adopted
a resolution recommending the assembling
of delegates to be appointed by the States,
at Philadelphia, on tiie 2nd Monday or
May, 1787, “for the sole and express pur
pose of revising the Articles of confedera
tion, and reporting to congress and the
several legislatures, such alterations and
provisions therein as shall, when agreed to
in congiess, and confirmed by the States, ren
der the Federal constitution adequate to
the exigencies of goverument, and the pre
servation of the union.”
We need not for the purpose we have in
view, to detail all the facts connected with
the call for a convention to frame a new
constitution further than to show, that the
sovereignty of the states, severally, was
fully recognized in that call. Each state for
Itself acted in its sovereign capacity. The
action of Georgia is seen in the following
ordinance. “An ordinance for the appoint
ment of deputies from this for the purpose
of revising the Federal constitution." In this
it will be seen, that the federative charac
ter of the union was fully recognize.]. Fed
eration means a League, a confederacy.
Federal is defined: “relating to a league or
confederacy.” The commissions to tiie
delegates from Georgia, William Few, Abra
ham Baldwin, William Pearce, George Wal
ton, William Houston and Nathaniel Pen
dleton, were each as follows: “The State
of Georgia, by the grace of God, free sover
eign and independent Ac.”
We omit the full text as it merely con
fers upon them the power to act for the
State of Georgia “in devising and discuss
ing all such alterations aiul farther provi
sions as may be necessary to render the
Federal Constitution adequate to the exi
gences of the Union.” In conclusion, it
says: “Witness,” Ac., “this 7th ofJApril, in
tiie year of our Lord, 1787, and of our sov
ereignty and independence, the 11th.”
Signed by the Governor, George Mathews,
and countersigned by his Secretary.
Georgia thus conferred no power upon its
delegates to change the fedurative charac
ter of the government, or impair its sov
ereignty. The governor of Massachusetts,
in issuing commissions to the deputies of
tbatScate used this language, “for the sole
and express purpose .if revising tiie Arti
cles of Confederation Ac.” Connecticut
used similar language; so did New York.
Indeed all the States recognized only tiie
purpose of revising the Articles of Confed
eration. The Confederation was recogni
zed by all. Nearly all the powers, delega
ted to Congress In the Articles of Confeder
ation, were similar to tboss delegated in
the Constitution of 1737, The reason for
wanting a change was the lack of power in
Congress to regulate trade with foreign na
tions, between the states and the Indian
tribes, and to levy taxes upon the people of
the several States, and duties upon foreign
imports, without resorting to requisitions
upon the States, as required under the Ar
ticles of Confederation. In the action and
replies of the States, there was not a single
allusion to changing the character of the
Government, All recognized the sovereign
ty of the States, and the compact of union
based upon that sovereignty. There was no
call upou the States to yield their sover
eignty, but simply to give additional pow
ers to their agent (the Congress) to do cer
tain things for the general welfare which
were not granted in the Articles of Confed
eration. The delegates of the States who
met in Philadelphia the 2nd Monday in
May, 1787, were the representatives of
sovereign States. They were not authori
zed to do auy act violative of the Federa
tive system, and could do so only by the
exercise of unauthorized powers.
It has been clearly sbowu tiiat the States,
at the close of the old revolutionary war,
were separate Independent and sovereign
nations of the earth, that they were sover
eignties under the articles of Confedera
tion—that they were called upon as such,
to meet in convention to revise the Confed
erate Constitution—that there was no claim
of any power on the part of any state or
any number of States, to compel any State
even to meet the other in convention to
form a new Constitution, are in any way to
consular the question of
instnment. When than,
change affected to justify
Republicans or Democrats,
ity of the States had the ri
dictatorial authority over a
number of States? At- what time,
der what circumstances, was this potent
claim justified by any act of any State, or
States, up to the time of the formation of
the Constitution of 1787. No man, without
falsifying history and truth, can find a sin
gle act of any State to sustain it. Nor can
he find it in the words of any American
Statesman, or American writer, whose
opinion is worthy of a moment’s considera
tion. We are aware that there have been
and are some who hold that the union of
the colonies, and, afterwards, of the States,
was all the time a union of the means of all
the people who inhabited them; but that
opinion is either senseless or unprincipled.
A very large portion or the people of the
Northern, or formerly, non-slave holding
States, profess the belief that the General
Government possesses paramount sover
eignty- that the Union is not a federative
association—that the States are not sover
eign—that the United States constitute a
single nation, and is held together by the
arbitrary will of a majority of the States,
or people of the States. Up to the time of
the formation of the present Constitution,
as we have stated, this belief has no exis
tence at all, or a very feeble one, through
out the Confederate Union. The roots of
tlits doctrine widened and deepened after
the present Constitution was framed; still
its growth was slow, for its utterance, fbr
many years, was answered by mockery
and derision. Of late years its rapid growth
and unexpected success, have threatened
the stability of our Republican institutions,
and the necessity devolves upon the friends
of those institutions to check its progress.
Sustained by an immense power intellectual
and physical, and, backed by infuriate
prejudice and remorseless ambition—no or
dinary effort can stay its baleful advance.
We are giving our mite to the great cause
of resisting its progress, but it will take a
united, powerful and unreleasing effort to
effect it. The Constitution has been tram
pled on and tiie honor of our federative
union profaned. In our next article we will
show that State sovereignty was not Im
paired, by the Constitution of 17*7,—that, in
that instrument centralism found no sup
port ; and that all its growth and strength
have been nurtured only in a spirit of bold,
reckless and dangerous innovation.

THE CALIFORNIA ELECTION.
The recent election in this State, can have
no political significance in a national point
of view. Local questions were all absorb
ing, and the elements introduced were quite
as numerous, and nearly as hideous as

MAJOR A. H. HcLAWS.
We most heartily concur in what our es
teemed Augusta contemporary', the Chron
icle J- Constitutionalist, says of the gentle
man whose name heads this brii-f notice,
and which will be found in another column
of our journal. We have long and intimate
ly known him. and rememlier with great
pleasure our dally association with him, in
the same office, for more than two years.
Educated, intelligent, ami honorable in all
Ida dealings, no man, in Georgia, is better
qualified to perform successfully all the
duties of his profession, as a land and min

When death luut chilled his poor shattered
frame, tiie little ones would be helpless in

ached as ho thought of their dreary and
desolate future. But at last, with one of
those glimpses of hope that come loiighten
deatn, his face brightened and he saiu : “I
bequeath my children to the soldiers of
the South!” And consoled at last in hav
ing found fathers for his little ones, he
died and they will lie cared for. Money is
now being raised in many places for their
support. His claim is recognized. He lost
a leg and ail arm iu the service of South,
and well might the face of the brave and
gallant soldier have brightened, even in
the hour of death, with the consoling hop*-
that tiie soldiers of the South, yea the peo

from poverty and want.

THE DRUMMING EVIL.
Twenty years ago business houses ren
ted for very much less than they do now,
and the merchants’ profits are very much
less now than they were then. With those
facte staring the public in the face it is on
ly natural that it should enquire the cause.
The evils of the present system of doing
business are high rente and drummers.
Drumming sharpens competition and re
duces the profits of business. The drum
mer, ambitious to make as many and as
large sales as possible, usually makes tiie
most favorable representations to his cus
tomers, and thereby involves his employer
in unlocked for trouble. Under this sys
tem, it may be said, tho merchant lias lost
control of his business. He never sees his
customers or they him. His business is al
most exclusively in the hands of his drum
mers.
They use his money to build up a valu
able acquaintance which they carry to a
rival house when they leave. Thoughtlul
merchants are beginning to see that the ac
quaintance, which i6 the drummer's capi
tal, is acquired at their expense. Drum
mers, at a cost of salaries and from $4 to $6
a day for traveling expenses, are rather ex
pensive to say the least ot it. It is asser
ted, on gocil authority, tiiat gixxls in some
departments of trade are sold at as low a
profit &3 two, two and a half and four per
cent The only chance for success is sell
ing a large amount, and as fierce competi
tion dot's not admit of this, one after an
other of these houses go down. Nashville
merchants, it is said, are greatly dissatis
fied with tiie drumming business, but dare
not forsake it as rival houses with drum
mers in tiie field will step in and capture
their trade. It is not known how they pro
pose to drop the drumming system, but
drop it they must, for sooner or later their
business will be ruined. A merchant should
have control of his own business.—Nash
ville Banner.

The Atlanta Constitution must not give
up the trail of the Defoor murderers. It is
too great a paper to allow such a thing to
happen in six miles of the great citv. and
not investigate it. The Governor ought to
give out some of the money flowing out of
the Treasury every day to follow those
bloody spots on tiie bed of these good old
people.' Is the Constitution, or any Atlanta
man, afraid to question the heirs of these
old people? Let them be investigated.
We do not charge any of them with com
plicity in the murder, but would like to hear
all they know about it.

Tiie Constitution publishes as “A notable
fact that the last aggressive battle of Lee’s

added that when Leo surrendered he had

Lumpkin Independent: Worms and cat
erpillars seem to be about ootton now more
than anything else. On the river the dread
ed boll worm has appeared and is doing
more damage than the caterpillars. The
latter named pests have appeared on quite
a number of plantations and the prospect
is that the cotton crop will only be a half
one if that good. Experienced farmers tell
us that there is more weed and k«s fruit
on it this year than ever known before.
Cotton eight or ten feet high is a common
sight on bottom lands, but it takes a man
with a glass eye to see where the cotton
bolls are. With drought on our corn crops,
a flood on the cotton, with worms to de
stroy it and cold east winds to blight it,
the farmers are indeed in a precarious fix.

THE SUN FOR 1879.
Tb*» Sun will br printed FYery day during the y«-er to
eoiue. Ita purpose- and m*-tbo<l wilfb*- the- -ame a« in tb**
pant. To preaeut all the new* in a readable .~hap.\ and :•»
tell the troth though the heavena fall.
The Sun na. been, ia, and will continue tu be independ
ent of everybody and everythin* aave rh«* truth and it«
n conviction* of duty. That in the only policy whit h
honest uewapaper need have. That ia tic policy irbit-b
9 won for this newspaper the confidence t-.nd fri’. i-dofaip
of a wider const ituem y than was ever eujoved l*j an>
other American Journal.
The Sun ia the newspaper for the people. It ia n.r
the rich man against tiie poor man. or fur the p».r iubi
against the rich man. bnt it seek* to d»* eq-.-.al ^te-ticc
all interente in the community. It is not the nrsan ofanv
person, class, aect or party. "There un d he n«» mystery
about iu loves and hates. It is ior the bonc-t man against
the rogue* every time. It is for the h«*ne»t D’-ima iat a*,
axainst the dishonest Republican, and for the honest Rc-
publicau a*against the di.none*t Democrat. It doe* not
taRe its cue from the utterance, ofanv politician »*r p*>
iitical organization. It jiive. it» support uurtacrvedly
when men or measure* are in aareement w ith the Con
stitution and with the principle upon which this Republic
was founded for he people- Whenever the Constitutes
and oou»titutiou&l principles are violated—as in the out
rageous conspiracy of 1k76 by which a man not elected
wa* placed in the President’s office, w her*- he still remain .
—it p peak s out for the rieht. That is the Sun’s idea * I in
dependence. Iu this respect there will be no change in
ita programme for 1876.
The Sun ha*fairly earned the hearty hatred of rascals,
frauds, and humbugsoi ail sorts and size* Ir hop.-. t«, dr.
rve tbat’hatred not less iu the year 1879. than In 1S7H, 1S77
or any year stone by. The Sun will continue U» shine on
tl» wicked with unmitigated brightne**.
While the lessons of the past should be mustanCy kept
before the people. The Sun Goes not propose to make it
self in 1879a magazine of ancient history. It is printed
for the men and women ot to-dav, whose concern in
chiefly with the affairs of to-dav. It b*.th the disjs-
sitioaand the ability to afford its readers the promptest,
fullest and most accurate •ntelligeurc of w li«d»-ver in tb*
wide world i* worth attention. To tlii- end the n-soun . -

dlscueeione of the press, the debate, and acts of Concr*-.*
and th« movement.of the leaders in ewrv ae- t;«»u of tb*"
Republic will have a direct beating on the Pre-ideatia
election of 188n—an event which must be regarded m itl,
oat anxious interest by every patriotic American
whatever bis political ideas or alle*iun< «*. To these de
ment* of interest may be added the probability that tb»-
Denaocrats will control both houses of Congn^s. th« iu-
