■EOIIUI VS PMOTIMT. A Haul) and Vlilr l’uprr. From thr Atlatita Conatttntlon, 22<1. The joint oommtttee on the State of the Republic, to whom had been re ferred all the resolutions in the House and Senate on the Louisiana matter, yesterday reported a substitute l'or the matters before them. The Sen ate adopted the report, and the House will concur to-day. The following Is the exhaustive and excellent report: Whereas, under the original consti tutional compact between the States of this Union, each State is the equal of, ami is entitled to all the rights and powers belonging to each and every other State And whereas, all the States, includ ing those which linked t heir fortunes with the Southern Confederacy, are upon terms of perfect equality, enti tled to exercise each for itself the rights of State-. Including the right of local self-government, except so far as they may be restricted by the Constitution of I he United States. And whereas, it is a well establish ed principle that each branch of the legislative department of each State Is the sole judge of the election- re turns and qualifications of its own members, and has the right to estab lish its own rules for determining all questions growing out of contested elections, there being no appeal from the decision of the House in such ease. And, whereas, neither the Execu tive of a State, nor the Executive of tlie United States, has the right by the use of tho military power to in terfere in,dr to control, the organiza tion of the Legislature of a State, nor to interfere with the decision of eith er branch of the State Legislature; nor has the President of the United States the right to use the military power of the Government in any State, for any other purpose than the suppression of domestic violence, or tiie repulsion of invasion, ami then only upon tile proper application of t he' Legislature, or by the Executive when the Legislature cannot be con vened. And, whereas, we have noticed with alarm tho authentic statement that tho great principles of constitutional government has been violated by the use of a iKirtiou of the army of the United States, which, under the di rection of the President, has inter ferret with the organization of the Honseof Representatives of the State of Louisiana, where the military as sumed to judge of the election of ii< members, and at the point of the boyonet expelled such as the military commander adjudged not to be enti tled to their seats. Resolved, That neither tho I’lv.-i --dent of the United States, nor th Governor of said State, had any rigid to interfere In tho organization of tiie Legislature, or to assume to judge of the election of the members there of. That the use of tin- military in tiie" expulsion of such members I>v the bayonet was u palpable and dan gerous usurpation of power by the President of the United Stat.-s "and a violation of tho rights and privleges of the State of Louisiana. That the attempt of the President to justifv the act in a message to the Co'ngr. -s of the United States is suflieient. to awaken the serious apprehension of the people of every State in tiie Union, inasmuch as the use made of tho military in the State of Louisian;: if tolerated by popular sentiment may ripen into a precedent; may b repeated at any time as to the organ ization of the legislatures of any of tiie States, and even of the organiza tion of tho Congress of tlie United Slates; and that the result of such a IHilicy if tolerated planes the civil government and the liberties of the people of each State at tiie feet ~r the President clothed with the power of a military dictator. Resolved, That tile question ri • s in importance above all party consid eration, and threatens alil>e tiie liber ties of all the citizens of the (mind States, without regard to party nfflli ations, and we appeal to all good t it izens throughout the Union to unite! with us in entering, as we now do, oar earnest and solemn protest . against tin-net it.-elf, and tin pi--ce dent sought to be established by it. Resolved, That we condemn all lawlessness and violence that we will falsi fully support the constitution of tho United States and tho laws enact ed in conformity thereto; ami that wo advise all oitiz. ns of tiii and si.- ter States to render strict obedience i to tjie laws, to resort to legal means forthe redress of grievances, relying upon the popular sentiment of tie people of the States, fairly expressed, fora return in the administration of tho government to the principles of constitutional law.” Resolved, That we tender our -ym pawing to the oppressed people of Louisiana, and commend their m and eration and forbearance exhibited in tho trying emergency through which they 1141) now passing, trusting that they have the fortitude still to forbear, resorting neither to force nor violence, hut making a calm ami dignified ap peal to the people of the United States 1 to break the schucklcs which bind them and to deliver them from the hands or the dishonest adventurer who now tyranize over them, and from the galling military despotism by which they are now oppressed. Resolved, That the Governor of this State be requested to send a copy of these resolutions to each of our Senators and Representatives in Con gress, with the request that they luy them before their respective Houses, and to the Executive of each State in the Union. They tell a strange story of a Paris watchmaker for true, and if true, it is a striking Instance of the power of the imagination over the human frame. Frederick Htiebmann had worked at a watch twenty years, it was anew movement, new works, and his own Invention. He perfected and set it a-going. He imagined that Ids soul had passed from liis body into that watch, and said : "When the watch stops I shall die.” it had been running a long time, and Stieti mann was very particular about winding it regularly. The idea that his Ufa had mecomo subordinated to the watch grew stronger. One day lately the watoli showed signs of ir regularity. It ran first too fast and then too glow. Stiebinann became very ill. He did not sen 1 for a doe tor, but for a watchmaker to see wiiat could bo done for the watch. The watchmaker knew not hirig about that particular watch, and could not prescribe for it. The watch stopped, arid sura enough Stiebmann was dSjilla! RANKIN HOUSE. Coltitnlm*. J. w. RYAN, Pr-.j/r. Ruby Restaurant. BAR ANO BILLIARD SALOON, UNDER THE RANKIN HOUSE. Janl d*wtf J. W.
