THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, MARCH 26,1875.
MR. STEPHENS AND STATE SO
VEREIGNTY AGAIN.
We referred the other day to the
charge of the Chicago Tribune against
Mr. Stephens that he was not at heatt
a State Sovereignty man, but that in
fact he believes in the doctrine of Cen
tralism. In reply to this most unjust
imputation the Savannah News cited
Mr. Stephens’ “Constitutional View of
the late War between the States.” With
out any answer to the unanswerable
argument thus referred to in refutation
of the aspersion, Mr. Medill, of the
Tribune, simply comes back with the
assertion that Mr. Stephens was a
Whig and . therefore ipso facto must
have been a Centralist and Consolida
tionist.
Was ever rejoinder lamer or more
untenable ?
Mr. Stephens did support Gen. Har
rison for the Presidency in 1840, and
Mr. Clay, the great Whig leader, in
1844 ; but how did Mr. Clay and Gen.
Harrison stand upon the doctrine of
State Rights against Centralism and
Consolidation ? In Mr. Stephens’ work
referred to Mr. Medill will see in vol. 1,
page 402, that Mr. Clay voted for the
following resolutions offered by Mr-
Calhoun in the Senate of the United
States:
Resolved, That in the adoption of the
Federal Constitution, the States adopting
the same acted, severally, as free, inde
pendent and sovereign States: and that
each, for itself, by its own voluntary as
sent, entered the Union with a view to its
lncihasea security against all dangers, do
mestic as well as foreign, and the more
perfect and secure enjoyment of its advan
tages natural, political and social.
Resolved, That, in delegating a portion
of their powers to be exercised by the Fed
eral Government, the States retained, sev
erally, the exclusive and sole right over
theiilown domestic institutions and police,
to ttli full extent to which those powers
were not thus delegated, and are alone re
sponsible for them; and that any inter
meddling of any one or more States, or a
combination of their citizens, with t lie do
mestic institutions or police of the others,
on any ground, political, moral, oi relig
ious* or under any pretext whatever, with
the f iew to their alteration or sub vers'on,
is not warranted by the Constitution, tend
ing to endanger the domestic peaee and
tranquility of the States interfered with,
subversive of the objects for which the
Constitution was formed, and, by necessary
consequence, tending to weaken and de
stroy the Union itself.
Do not these resolutions embody the
very essence of State Rights and State
Sovereignty as taught by Mr. Jeffer
son himself, in whose school Mr. Clay,
the great leader of the Whig parly iu
his day, was reared ? Did not Mr. Me-
DiLLj3upport Mr. Clay ? When he sup
ported him did he not know that he
was a State Sovereignty man ? If he
did not, perhaps Mr. Stephens did.
How groundless his assertion, then,
that Mr. Stephens is a Centralist be
cause he supported Mr. Clay for the
Presidency.
Again, how ivas it with regard to Gen.
Harrison ? He was the Whig candi
date in 1840, when Mr. Stephens sup
ported him. Was Gen. Harrison a Cen
tralist, or was he also a State Sover
eignty disciple of the Jeffersonian
school —that school in politics toAvhich
Mr. Stephens has ever belonged ?
General Harrison’s inaugural settles
this question.
If Mr. Medill has never seen that
he can find it in “ The Statesman’s
Manual,” vol. iii, page 1206. In it
General Harrison styled the Union of
the States, net as a Central Republic,
but as a Confederacy of States —just as
Washington, Madison, Jefferson and
all the Fathers had styled it. Harri
son said, among other things upon this
subject, “ our Confederacy is perfectly
illustrated by the terms and principles
governing a common copartnership.”
Is there any Centralism in that ? Did
Mr. Calhoun ever say anything
stronger in advocacy of his ideas of
State Sovereignty?
Mr. Medill will have to adduce
something of greater potency in this
discussion than his assertion that Mr.
Stephens must be a Centralist because
he was a Whig. It is true that there
were some Centralists in the Whig
party in the days of its glory, among
whom few were more prominent in
their spheres than Mr. Medill and the
late Mr. Greeley, but for none of this
class did Mt. Stephens ever vote, and
it will be time enough to charge him
with such a heresy whenever he does.
The Law. —The Cincinnati Gazette de
liberately gives its opinion that if the
performance in the Beecher-Tilton
trial is the practice of law, then the
practice of law does not require the
ability to discern what is relevant and
proper, and what is irrelevant and Im
proper, nor has it rules by which a
trial can be limited to the real case. It
is giving to the public a mean opinion
of the profession of law, and has crea
ted a wide-spread impression that the
conduct of this* trial makes it an impo
sition on justice and on the public.
We hope it is not as bad as that;
and then the New York practice may
be worse than usual.
Success. —The New York Times
thinks men who succeed at middle age
are more fortunate than those who
prosper in youth, because the sun of a
brilliant youth usually descends in
darkness, while the orb of the less fiery
particles of humanity “slow sinks
more lovely ere his race be run.”
Lovejoy. —The daughter of the late
Owen Lovejoy, who has been badly
mixed up in the Beecher-Tilton scan
dal, is about to sue Messrs. Evarts &
Cos. for damages. She thinks $25,000
will answer.
Tornado.— A destructive wind storm
in the West is calied a “blizzard,”
hurricane, cyclone, tornado, whirlwind
and words of that ilk not being suffi
ciently significant.
Dangerous.— Judges should not wear
red-flannel caps. In consequence of
such rashness, the Hon. Samuel Spen
cer L. L. D., of North Carolina, was
recently attacked by a turkey gobbler
and died from the effects of the en
counter.
GAS METERS AND GAS.
Some days ago, we stated that the
Baltimore City Council had authorized
an inspection of gas meters by experts.
Two communications, as we learn from
the Gazette, have been received, by
authority, one from Mr. King and the
other from Prof. Aikix. Mr. King says
“if the gas meter is properly made and
kept in good order, it is as correct au
instrument or measure as there is
made, and after being inspected and
put iu use on the consumer’s premises,
cannot be altered or the index tamper
ed with without disconnecting and
taking them apart by unsoldering. A
dry, warm position or leaving them
out of use will cause a meter to regis
ter against the consumer; but reverse
these conditions and they will register
against the company. He believes a
very large proportion are correct with
in the law. The great cause of com
plaint is the excessive pressure or
force used to pass the gas from the
company’s works to the consumer’s
burners. Burners, supplied with gas
at six or seven-tenths of an inch pres
sure, consume five feet of gas per
hour, and give the best illuminating
result, while the same burners, at
double the pressure, will pass seven
and one-half feet per hour. The pres
sure in Baltimore is much greater than
New York or Boston, which the com
panies say is necessary to supply all
parts of the city. He recommends the
passage of a law regulating the pres
sure. There are now in use “govern
ors” or “ regulators,” being applied to
city lamps, which regulate the pres
sure.”
Prof. Aiken confined his statement
to the quality of the gas supply of
Baltimore, which is better than that of
New York and inferior to that of
Boston.
In this connection we refer the read
er to extracts, in another column, from
the report of Mayor Kf.iley, of Rich
mond. The city of Richmond owns its
gas works, and, after furnishing a mag
nificent light free to all public lamps
and public buildings, and superior illu
mination to citizens at $2.85 per 1,000
cublic feet, has an annual surplus of
$34,000 from this source of revenue.
SPELLING MATCHES.
There is a perfect mania for spelling
matches in some parts of the East and
West. The epidemic has not yet
reached the South, but we dare say it
will do so finally, just as the epizooty
and Paris fashions come. We published
a ludicrous account of one of these
matches, the other day, at which Mr.
J. W. Simonton presided, and now our
attention has been drawn to a pro
digious affair of the kind which recent
ly came off at Pike’s Opera House, in
Cincinnati. After a prolonged contest )
•which resulted in seven survivors on
one side and two on the other, a recess
was ordered. During the recess, one
Judge Yaple hit upon a word which
proved the pons asinorum of the occa
sion, as it floored the assembled wis
dom. This word was “ bleyme,” known
to horse doctors, who can or cannot
spell it, but a corrupt and unintelli
gible word for the average scholastic.
It was hardly a fair word, but
the President insisted upon it, and
the Gazette describes the scene as
follows : “Judge Yaple solemnly drew
fortn from his capacious pocket a roll
of words Avhich made the over-confi
dent survivors blanch with fear. Then
he opened his mouth and said, * bleyme,’
pronounced as if it were spelled ‘bleem.’
It was too much. No one had ever
heard of the word. Rut after a few pre
liminary scratches on the head, Mr.
Morris ventured on ‘blighm.’ The
awful trombone shrieked, and Mr. Sey
bold rose up. Ho tried 4 blime,’ and so
it went from one to another with every
outlandish variation until the whole
squad was down.
“ They smiled a sickly smile, and curled up
on the lioor,
And subsequent proceedings interested
them no more.
“ Then came a kind of orthographi
cal variety show, in which the * bleyme ’
victims stood up and swelled ‘ pump
kin pie” in concert. Mr. Thornton
Hinkle rendered ‘ valetudinarian ’ in
the interminable abominable bumble
bee with-his-tale-cut-off-style. Then
they were all set up and spelled down
again with unheard of words, just to
gratify the blood-thirsty appetite of
the audience. A small jumping-jack
was exhibited as the prize, but there
was no presentation ceremony.”
How would it do to get up a spelling
match in Augusta, ten cents admission,
for the tornado sufferers ?
Bessie. —The most shocking episode
in the 8.-T. trial was the appearance of
Bessie Turner on the witness staud
and her testimony. This pert young
woman has proved to be an Asmodeus
in skirts. She has unroofed the houses
of .Brooklyn and made them hideous.
Alluding to the stunning recitals of
this wise girl, the Chicago Tribune
sums up as follows : “If these stories
be untrue, then was Mother-in-law
Morse right when she kissed Theodore
(even this mother-in-law had eaught
the kissing fever), and said : * Theo
dore, what a magnanimous ftian you
have been !’ If they be true, then was
Mother-in-law Morsf. right when she
said : ‘ I will grandma you, you infer
nal hypocrite and scoundrel. I will
publish you from Dan to Beersheba!’ ”
