Senator Johnson, of Muscogee'coun-

of requiring the banks to make semi
annual reports, under oath, to the
Governor is the best. This plan costs
the State nothing, and it is a safer
plan too, for one man might be in
duced to make a false statement as

probable that sworn officers of a bank
would do so.

Our readers may see, in a majority
of our leading articles of the last two
or three months, Borne views which
we have formerly presented to them
since the restoration of peaceable re
lations between the Northern and
Southern sections of the Union. ;Our
object has been to show that the" po
litical relations re-established between
the North and the South have not de
stroyed the original privileges which
were established at the formation
and adoption of the constitution of
the United States in the year 1787.
It is true a long and bloody war oc
curred between the North and South
but all the essential and sacred rights
of the South were maintained in the
final settlement of that bloody con
test. It is true the language convey
ing the meaning and purpose of th*
new relatiou between the states is dif
ferent in some respectB from that ad
opted under the original constitution
of the United States. Instead of call
ing the States Free Sovereign find In
dependent States, the Union is desig
nated as indestructible states, but all
the rights belonging to them are iu-
destruotlble. Seme recognized now an
not to be found in the original arti
cles of confederation, for instance, the
power to regulate trade with foreign
nations and to levy duties upon goods
impor- ed from foreign countries.
A critical reader of the constitution
will see that no tribunal was estab
lished to decide disputes between a
state or any number of states and the
Federal Government in the exercise
of the delegated powers. The Feder
al government is restricted in the ex
ercise of its powers to the grants of
the states, and the states themselves
to the powers not delegated to the
Federal government. Either party
might exceed the limits of its powers,
yet in the constitution there is no pro
vision made for deciding the questions
of difference which might arise.
Mr. Jefferson, in the Kentucky and
Virginia Resolutions of 1708-99, said
that “when the General Government
assumed undelegated powers; its acts
are unauthoritative, void aad of.no
force, that the general •government
was not made tne exclusive or final
?udge of the extant df the powers
delegated to itsejr, since that would
have made its discretion, and not the
constitution, the measure of’its pow
ers; but that, as in all other cases of
compact among powers having no
common judge, each party has an
equal right to judge for itself, as well
of Infractions as of the mode and
measure of redress.” Mr. Jefferson
further says, “where powers are as
sumed which have not been delega
ted, a nullification of the act is the
In Montgomery county, Penn., a
few days ago a negro who had been
in the Federal army died, and the
friends of the deceased asked for
permission to bury the dead negro
in the soldiers eemetary, and were
refused by the directors of that in
stitution. The Montgomery Adver
tiser. referring to this incident, which
illustrates tlio hypocrisy of the bla

the South, desires the “sliriokers” to

thorn without pity or remorse, for
many weary years. Let the country
K° *5 tke anoient landmarks,
limit the Federal Government within
tus extent of Its powers and the
South will again love tho Union as
In days long ago. If then a storm
should rise to threaten tho Union no
people would rush so swiftly, and
march so gallantly under tho star-
spangled banner to defend it. Bold
brave, generous and enthusiastic, tho
call to arms, tho drum-beat, and the
thunder of cannon would be music
in their ears wherever tho roes of the
Union-should marshal their forcos to
harm it.
If the people are expeoted to love
the Union teach them to love their
respective states. Fill their hearts
with ideas of state glory and then
they will admire and iovo tho Federal
Government created by those states
so dear to their affections. It would
be almost as easy for a single man to
lift a pyramid from its base and hurl
it to the Syrian desert, as to drive
such a State from the American Un
ion. This is the strong government
that we want; a government resting
upon the consent of the governed,
foutjdea upon equity and justioft and
sustained by the strong arms of self-
respected and devoted people.
00 WE WANT THE NEGRO?
Senator Gibbs has Introduced a bill
calculated, in the event it becomes a
law, to try the state of the public
temper in regard to the exodus of ne
gro laborers. The existing law, by
imposing a license tax of $500 for
each county, discourages and keeps
away such emigration agents as may
cast a longing eye upon the sinewy
arms and broad backs of tho Georgia
negro. The Gibbs bill proposes to
throw down the bars and give the
agents a fair field by repealing that
part of section 4598 of tho Code which
makes it a misdemeanor for them to
solicit without first obtaining the ex
pensive license. Senator Gibbs ap
prehends that the farmers will find no
difficulty in retaining all the laborers
they want. Those negroes, he says,
who have good places on the farms
will hardly abandon so comfortable a
certainty to test the flattering, but
unreliable emigration agents, while
the state will be speedily relieved of
100,000 loafers, whose presence is now
a constant menace to good order in.
the Georgia towns. The bill, be says,
was prompted by this latter consider-
tion.—Macon Telegraph.

tution imagine that a creature of
their hands, a political agency set up
for the common welfare for conve
nience only—would in le3s than a cen
tury, claim to be the master of the
creators. While we were shouting
over the glorious Union, bad men,
demagogues, consolidationists and
monarchists were plotting the de
struction of its original principles,
sowing discord in tiie place of friend
ship, duplicity and treachery in the
hearts x>f the people in Northern sec
tions, teaching them that a disregard
of the constitution was a part of the
worship of God; that to revile and
hate the people of the South was a
decree of Heaven and the highest at
tribute of patriotism in American cit
izenship. And we have seen the flame
and heard the thunder of war which
came of it and the immense sacrifice
of life and treasure which it caused.
Has it evor crossed the minds of

Ciyil Service Commisloner Lyman
says that the reports sent out from
here stating that the Commissioners
had talked with President Harrison
about the proposed extension of the
rules to cover the chiefs of division
in the departments is an error. The
subject has not been called to the
President’s attention, but will be,
when he returns to this city os the
Commissioners are unanimously in

of the Cabinet is said to be one of
the probabilities of the near future.
The navy department has had to
issue new proposals for building the
five new cruisers provided for at the
last session of Congress, because the
bids received for those first issued
were all in excess of the amount ap
propriated. It is fearedthat vessels
of the class desired cannot be built for
the amounts stipulated by Congress,
and that the matter will have to be
referred back to that body for fur
ther action. We seem to have all
sorts of drawbacks in the bnilding of
our new navy.
Representaative Breekenridge of
Kentucky was in this city last week.
He does not, think the republicans
will have any serious contentions over
the contested election cases unless the
republicans attempted to seat men
not legally entitled to the seat. Per
sonally Mr. Breekenridge Is opposed
to an extra session of Congress but
from a political standpoint he hopes
one will be called. Ho said: “to have
do, swallowed the seeds. One of the
•eeds did not pass through the prop
er channels, but lodged in a place
called in medical parlance the vermi

This is a tale like appendage located
on the right side of the bowels. It is

average diameter is about the size of
a pipe 6tem. It terminates in a

which cannot be absorbed—such a# a
grape seed, au orange seed or lemon
seed—finds its way there it will in
tlina produce inflammation, and en-
tophletic abscess is likely So'farm
which, if not promptly removed, will
cause death. This is the only part
of the human frame that does not
perform ascertainable function. The
vermiform appendix simply seems to
be a deatli trap. It has no known
use except to delude the unwary vic
tim into swallowing the bait that will
prove his death.
There is a sugical operation which
may be performed, but it has often
proved fatal. Young Mr. Walton, it is
understood, lias submitted to the nec
essary surgical operation, and liis life
is still banging in the balance. Accord
ing to the statement of a physician of
prominent standing this afternoon
the first operation necessary in a case
of this kind was successfully per
formed by the late Dr. Sands about
the time he was associated with Dr.
Fordyce Baker iu the case of the late
Roscoe Conkling.
Seeds rarely drop into this trap
but when they do the result has
nearly always been death. Young

both ends are cold on account of los-
