He declined, respec full-/ bu r positively, to receive it on any other terms than being permitted to pay rent for it at the u-ual per centage of cost, - fur which such propeity is rented. — And Mr. Davis’ salary per annum i j was not equal to Gan- Graut’s wages i j per month.

If'Uou'- givs* bus exceeded these powers, the law is unconstitutional, and not binding upon the courts of the country. The States at tho time of confederating, were independent sovereignties. They surrendered a portion of their soverei- j guty to the Federal government, ‘ihe rights suite.'derod are defined and fixed by charter (the c< nstitutioi',) and the remainder are reserved in the States and the nr op’e.
