State Mights.
That tho Federal Constitution
was the creature of the States we
think is beyond doubt; it is equally
clear that the creature was not more
powerful than the creator; and,the
fact that the giant intellect of
Daniel Webster failed to demon
strate the opposite theory is to our
miud sufficient evidence that it can
not he proven. But, inter arma
silent le-gce. What argument and
logic could not do, the bayonet’s
point, and the sword’s edge speed
ily accomplished. The Southern
people, under great provocation,
but, we think, unwisely appealed
the decision of tha question from
the forum of reason and public opin
ion to the arena of the bnttle field.
Fortune was against us and in our
judgment,the theory of State rights
wqs-blirried side by side with the
•‘lost cause.” In addition to this,
if the result of onr civil war left
any vestige of State rights, the de
lusions of the United States Su
preme Court in two recent cases
wipes out and destroys that.
We must therefore recognise the
fact, that hereafter all Federal
laws are superior to mere State
lawsjand, that whenever they come
in conflict the latter must yield in
all cases. This is not a pleasant
fact for the lover of our republican
form of government to contemplate;
but shutting our eyes to the realty
of its cristance will not change it;
pleasant or unpleasant, we will be
forced to accept it, and the sooner
we do so th^ better it will be for
us all.
This chang^ howeifr,litre almost
chan's
every other earthly change will not
prove to be an unmixed evil—es
pecially to ub of the South Wip
ing out State rights will give us a
Congress with all the powers of the
Bnglish Parliament,winch of course
are imperial. This wiH obviate
one “bone of contention” between
the North and South which has ex •
isted since the formation of the
government. It was the unwise
decisions of this question in the last
Congress that lost nearly all the
North to the Democracy; tor,
whether It be true or not, the Nor
thern people regard secession and
State rights as one and the same
thing; hence when the Democratic
leaders in Congress declared their
adhesion to this doctrine, a large
majority of the Northern looked
upon them as secessionists in dis
guise. The cause of the quarrel
being removed, the quarrel will of
course cease.
i
Another advantage that we of
the South will derive from the
change iB,that Grant and bis friends
being in office and secure in their
positions (as will be the ease i;
Grant getB into office again) they
will cease to slander and annoy the
South, as they have been doing
since the close of the war; for, no
nian in his senses, at least no in-
■ tgjUgent man believes that the Re
publicans, have any real love or
sympathy for the negro. Their sole
object has been to create excite
ment for the purpose of g< tting
into office; butonoe in and depend
ent only upon the President—King
• for retaining position, they will
t hh ^en cease to annoy and persecute.
Indeed we anticipate, in the event
indicated, kinder treatment from
our Northern “brethren” than we
-v have received in the last fifty years.
Nor will the South have any
great cause to lament 'over .the
change—,our ^liberties were k)st
with the surrender of Lee. In truth
there is so much of human nature
in us, that we confess we would be
glad to see our Northern “friends'
in a like predicament with our
selves—; that is to say, subject to

.4 TALE OF THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION !
BY IIKXHY TllOKNK
CHAPTER XXVI.
As Hulcs fell, Canada called out
to the men in the boat:
“Iujun no shoot now; gun emp
ty—all shoot red dogs now,” and
suiting the action to ti e word he
caught up a loaded gun, which ex
ample was promptly imitated by
hie companions,and all lieing ready
the command to fire was given,and
all the guns were discharged at
nearly the same moment of time.
When the Bmoke cleared away,
which required but a few seconds,
the Indian who seemed to have been
leader of the snvages was missing,
and there appeared to bo a great
commotion in the party; in point
of fact, Canada had really discov-
red the leader of the band, and
when he fired selected him as- his
mark, and succeeded in inflicting
on him a mortal wound. Another
Indian had been killed, and two
more seriously wounded by the fire
of the party in the boat.
The Indians now became more
careful about exposing thomsc-lves
to the destructive fire of the party
in the boat and sought cover in the
thicket that extended close to the
water’s edge. Taking this advan
tage in the lull of the attack, Can
ada now turned his attention to es
caping from the tomahawks and
rifles of the Indians who it wbb
plain were now thirsting for the
blood of the whites.
Injun chief hurt, may be kill;
dem Injun no Bhoot right now, bo
we begs put out our oars and pull
so hard as pall cun and so git out
in water too far way from land for
Injup follow; no pull hard now by
’em by take chief way, den lujun
warrior ’gain find u- git scalp, no
git way den.”
Up to thiB tinuiNma’s attention
had been engrossed wRh the con
dition of Hales, who, she at fiftt
ght,
thought had been killed outrigl
but who soon sliowjd^gns of re
turning life. Hearing the last
words of Canada she eagerly asked:
“Is there no chance for us to
escape from these cruel men ?”
(‘Can't t^I^for certain Wild

“If the Indians get us,” qnerried
Nina in a tremulous voice, “what
do you reckon they will do with

in getting nil the news promptly, and

ifiL “Injun no hurt Wild Rose,’ said
Unada; “Old chief tink too much
of her for dat—no let warrior hurt
her, but take her in him wigwam,
make her him squaw. Wild Rose
no like to be squaw of great chief?’
“No, Canada,’ returned the girl
with a shudder; “God knows my
condition is bad enough; here lies
my uncle dying, and I have no oth
er relative or friend in the world
that I know of; but bad as this is,
it is a thousand times better than
the fate you say awaits me if we
are captured. I will not be cap
tured by our cruel enemies, I will
diefirst;it may be that death would
be the best thing that could come
to me now. But let us do all we
cun to get back home and you shall
be satisfied for your services. My
uncle has enough in this boat to
reward you for the trouble and dan
ger you have incurred on our ac
count, and if I live to get back
your services shall not be forgotten;
if I tie I suppose that will settle
all claims; but in that event if you
and the other men can save the
boat and tho effects it contains,then
you can divide them among your
selves; and, you will find enough
I hope to reward you well. • Now
urge the men to row as fast os they
can for I see the Indians looking
us, and.I suppose they are get-
ready to start aftip: us if they
“Ulus' go ’shore,’ replied Canada;
can’t stay out on lake all night in
open boat; no Injuns bodder Wild
Rose now; all gone back home.”
“Do you think uncle is dying
now? 1 ’ asked Nina, who all this
time was crying as bitterly ns if she
had lost a dear and valued friend.
‘Sartin not now,” answered
Canada. “Far ’nough now to lot
boat sail; Injun not follow. Wild
Rose git cup of water wash him
uncle and put sume brandy ip he
mouth may be he talk and tell her
what to do.”
Nina acting upon this hint went
to the stern of tho boat and quick
ly returned with tho lnrge tin eup
of water. Canada and the men
who had been rowing; with the ex
ception of the man who had been
left to steer the boat, now gathered
round the wounded man, and rais
ing him to a sitting position wash
ed the blood from his face and
throat when it was discovered that
the hall had penetrated the lungs.
His lips were opened and a small
quantity of bra ndy was forced down
his throat. After a few moments,he
appeared to slightly revive and open
bis eyes. At first he did not ap
pear to recognise the persons by
whom he was surrounded until his
gaze fell upon Nina when he smil
ed faiully ai d motioned her to come
nearer. By making a grent effort,
he succeeded in speaking a few
words in a tone i a little above a
v^liispor. He first desired that all
present should bear witness to what
he said:
“I have been,” said he, "a.had
man, and, it is now tqp late to re
repent, and what is worse still, too
late to repair the great wrong 1
have done. I wanl Nina here, for
that is her name,to have all I leave,
for I have done her great wrong.”
Here the wounded man fell hack
gasping for breath, and it seemed
that he would not be able to apeak
again for all present now saw that
he waa sinking fast. Brandy was
again administered by Canada ip
the hope that it would revive him
sufficiently to say what he wished.
Making a mighty effort he succeed
ed in saying:
“Look at—lockett—chest—moth
er—England stole you—forgive—”
Thus with a prayer of forgive
ness he fell back and was caught.
inThe arms of the being whom he
had injured most in the world. As
he was passing away, Nina fancy
ing that he desired her forgiveness
for his rough, harsh treatment of
her, spoke to him gently saying:
“Dear uncle, I forgive you
freely all the wrong you have done
me, and I pray that God may for
give you as sincerely as I do my
self.”
The dying man heard and under
stood what she said, and with a
feeble smile lighting up his pallid
face, his spirit fled into the pres
ence of its Judge, who will judge
it not only in justice, but also in
mercy.

three of these bones in the arm,
one between the shouldor and el
bow, and two between the elbow
and wrist. The arm of the child
is, therefore, very weak. When
extension is made at the hand, the
force it not expended upon the long
firm bones, but rather upon bones
brokfn at soveral points, and very
loosely nmted. A small force, far
less than is required to fracture a
fully formed bone,will separate the
cartilaginous portions, or perma
nently bend them. There is also
anothor form of injury which may
occur at the instant. Of this I
have seen several examples. It con
sists in a slight displacement of the
cartilages in one of the joints eith
er the wrist or elbow, attended by
pain, swelling and tenderness. The
joint is fixed in a semiflexed posi
tion, and the little fellow will not
allow it to be moved or even han
dled. It can be easily rectified by
a surgeon, by forcible flexion and
extension. Finally, by lifting a
child in this manner the ligaments
about the joints may be extended,
and this will weaken the joints,and
this weakness may remain as a per
manent disability.

People of all condition of life and all

Sun; and thoy all derive satisfaction
of some sort from its colums, for thoy

Iu its comments on men and affairs,
The Sun boheves that the only guide
of policy should be common sense, in*
spired by genuine American principles
and backed by honesty of purpose.—
For this reason it is, and will continue
to be, absolutely independent of party
class, clique, organization, or interest.
It is for all, but of none. It will con*
ttnue to praise what is good and rep^
l obate what is evil, taking care that its
language is £o the point aud plain, be
yond the possibility of being misutt-
stood. It is uninfluenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it
has no opinions to sell, save those
which may be had by any purchaser
with two oents. It hates injustice and
ruscality even moro thau it hates un
necessary words, it abhors frauds,
pities fools, and deplores nincompoops
of every jtpecies. It will oontinuo
throughout the year 1880 to ohastbe
the first class, instruet the second, and
discountenance the thrird. All honest
with honest convictions, whether
sound or mistaken, are its friends.—
Aud the Sun makes no bones of tell
ing the truth to its friends and obout
is triends whenever occasion arises for
plain speaking.
These are the principals upon which
The Sun will be conducted during the
year to come.
The year 1860 will he one in which
no patriotio American can afford to
close his eyes to public affairs. It is
intpnsible to exngerate the importance^
of the political events which it has in
store, or tho necessity of resolute vigil-
lance on the part of every citizen who
desires to preserve tho Government
that the founders gave us. The de«
bates and sets of CongriKs, tho utter
ances of the press, tho exciting con
test of the Republican and Democratic
parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, the varying
of public sentiment, will all bear di*
rectly and effectively upon the twenty*,
forth Presidential election,to be held in
November. Four years ago next No
vember the will of the nation, as ex
pressed at the polls, waa thwarted by
an abominable conspiricy, the promo
ters and beneficiaries of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the
crime of 1876 be repeated in 1880?—
The past decade of years opened with
a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent
Administration idjtrenched at Wsshs
