—ln an edltorlaleorrespoudonee (H. H.
JJ to the Macon Telegraph, from Savan

"Trade Is In a fearfully depressed state
here, and merchants anticipate much dif
ficulty in meeting their spring paper. As
an evidence of the scarcity of money, no
less than thirty residences and pieces of
property were sold on Tuesday for (turn,
and bidden In by tho city. Of course the
majority of those will be redeemed, but It
only shows how hard up are tho owners.
On the same day Mr. Freeman, tho Deputy
United States Marshal, informed the
writer that tiro hundred and thirty-tiro lots
of land, mostly In tho plney woods coun
ties of Southern Georgia, containing either
20*3% or 490 acres each, were knocked off
under the hammer at marshal's sales, for
tho pitiful sum of one hundred and live
dollars."
Wk find tho following paragraph in
the Augusta, Constitutionalist, and
suppose that, it is only a revival of a
somewhat similar statement which
went tho rounds of the papers a few
weeks ago. It is a convenience to
postmasters and their assistants to
have all stamps on tho same corner
of the envelopes, because It facilitates
the cancelling stamping; but we do
not believe that a course so harsh us
a refusal to mall a letter having the
stamp placed elsewhere would be re
sorted to:
“Tho Postofllee Department at
Washington has ordered letters
which have not stamps at the prot>er
place—the upper right hand corner
to be sent to the Dead Letter office. ’’
TRF.jury in the oaso of J. K. Hill,

It will not make any practical dif
ference), what declaratory resolutions
tho present Congress may pass on the
subject. Tho fact remains unaffected
that tho Federal Government bus,
during tho last ten years, assumed
upon itself, by constitutional amend
ment and otherwise, many sovereign
powers heretofore possessed by the
States. It has acquired by constitu
tional amendment the right to pre
scribe to tho States tho qualifications
of their voters, the social relations of
tho sovcral classes of their popula
tions, and the polit ioal equality of all
their people. By an exaggeration ot
the powers thus acquired, It claims
and exercises the tight to tako undor
Its own management and supervision
the elections in the States, to take ju
risdiction of cases of individual griev
ance within the States, and to pro
hibit all distinctions in hotels, public
conveyances, places of amusement,
&e. It lias also arrogated to Itself
the sole right to establish or permit
bunks of circulation, by taxing State
bunks to tho extent of prohibition.
Tho instances of Its interference with
tho domestic governments of the
Southern States -even of its subvert
ing their governments at pleasure
are too many and too well femomber
ed to need particular mention hero.
In view of these practical assump
tions of powers until lately exclusive
ly onjoyed by the States, we say that
it makes but little difference what
declaratory resolutions Congress may
pass on the subject. We therefore
attach hut little real importance to
O. P. Morton’s resolutions introduced
in tiie Senate of the Unites! States on
Wednesday, and referred to in our
telegraphic dispatches of that night.
Tho following are tho resolutions:
Resolved, that tho people of tho United
States constitute a nation, and are one
people In the sense of national unity.
Resolved, That tho Government of the
United States is not a compact between
the States in their municipal and corpo
rate character, but was formed by the
people of the United States In their pri
mary capacity; that tho rights of the
Ktatosare defined ami guaranteed by the
Constitution, and not by any outside theo
ry of Htato sovereignty, and that the
rights of tho (States cannot bo enlarged or
diminished, except by an amendment to
tho Constitution.
Resolved, That the rights of the Htatos
havo the same sanction and security in tho
Constitution as the rights and powers of
tho National Government, and that local
domestic govern inent by the Htatos, with
in the limits of tho Constitution, Is an es
sential part of our free republican sys
tem.
Resolved, That the doctrine that n Htato
has the right to secede from the Union Is
Inconsistent with the Idea of nationalities;
Is in conflict with tho spirit and structure
of tho Constitution, ana should be regard
oil as having boon forever extinguished by
the suppression of the rebellion.
Though it is practically of little
consequence at this time, there are
some assertions in these resolutions
that are in direct conflict with “tho
truth of history.” The first of these
is tho declaration that “the Govern
ment of tho United States is not a
compact between the States in their
municipal and corporate character,
but was formed by tho people of the
United (States in their primary char
acter.” There were no "people of
the United States’’ until tho forma
of the Federal Government made
thorn such, and therefore all the pri
mary movements for the formation
of tho Government must havo come
from the States or their people.
Thoy really came from the States,
which were represented as Staten in
the Convention which formed tho
constitution. And the constitution
was not ratified by tho “people ot the
United States” as a whole,
or by a majority of them. It was rat
ified by the Staten acting separately
and integrally, and the assent of a
certain number of the States foot of
the people) was required for its rati
eation. It might really have been
objectionable to a majority of thepeo
pie und yet have been ratified. These
faots controvert Morton’s assertion.
Thoy do more—they show that tho
Federal Government derives its legit
imato powers from the States, not from
tho people directly, and that all pow
ers not delegated by the States to the
General Government are retained by
them. Instead of tho rights of tho
States being defined and guaranteed
by the Federal Constitution, as Mor
ton says they are, the rights of the
Federal Government aro defined by
tho Constitution given to it by the
States; and it is the rights of the Fed
eral Government, instead of those of
the States, which “cannot be en
larged except by an amendment of
tho Constitution.”
Fifteen years ago such bold and
sweeping claims of power for the
Federal Government ns those made
by Morton would have startled and
excited this whole country as greatly
ns Kiug George’s stamp act. excited
tho i>eople of the colonies. But now
they will probably be approved by a
party majority in tho Uuited States
Seuute, und the centralized despotism
which has in fad exercised arbitrary
powers over the Southern States for
the last ten years will by tho voto of
tho Senate be proclaimed as the gov
ernment for tho whole Union. Tho
resolutions will of course meet a dif
ferent fate in tho House, and perhaps
they will thereafter enter, as Morton
wishes them to enter, into a popular
Presidential canvass. Are we ho
ping too much when we venture the
suggestion that their presentation
will bring forcibly home to the peo
ple of the North the real character of
the Government which the Republi
can party would extend over that,
section as well as ours, and thus has
ten the day (which will surely come
at some time) when tho true princi
ples of the Go verinent will be vindi
cated and re-established?
Ir is telegraphed from Washington
that the publication of the letter of
Foster of New Jersey, informing Mr.
Blaine that Gen. Grant belonged to j
a secret anti-Catholie order, Is embar
rassing tothe Administration Repub
licans, and is considered damaging j
to Grant’s third term prospects.
The Third Trrui Vote.
I The Congressional reports show
that tho House of Representatives
passed, on Wednesday, a resolution
conilomnlngathird Presidential term,
by a vote approaching unanimity.
But it will bo observed that every
negro Representative voted uguirist
the resolution, and the reasonable
presumption is that most of the white
Radicals from the South ulso voted
against It. The negative vote nearly
equals their number. When the voto
is considered in this light, it is not so
strong an expression against a third
term as would seem by a mere com
parison of tho yeas and nays. Tho
Southern Radicals voting against it
certainly reflected the wishes of their
party in the South, and their vote in
dicates that tho South will probubly
go solidly for Grant in the Radical
nominating convention. It will only
require fifty or sixty representative
votes from the North and tho West,
added to his strength from the South,
to give Grant a majority in tho Con
vention. The proper way to inter
pret the vote of the House is not by a
balancing of its yeas and nays, but
by taking into consideration what
those yeas nnd nays represent. In
this case the 18 negative votes repre
sent fully one-third of the Radical
party of the Union.
The caucus of the Democratic mem
bers of the Virginia Legislature nom
inated United States Senator John
ston for re-election, on Wednesday,
and he was doubtless elected by the
Legislature yesterday.

Tlir .Wanner* ol Rallroai! servant*.
We recently came across a circular,
issued by tho general superintendent
of the new International and Great
Nortern Railroad Company, for the
guidance of his subordinates in their
treatment of the customers of the
company. “The popularity of tho
route,” says the superintendent,
“will depend very much on station
and train men.” “Patrons of the
road extect courteou - und gentle
manly treatment." "Every person
in the company’s employ is expected
to answer all questions civally, no
matter how frivolous they may seem,
and to hear in mind that no provoca
tion will justify rudeness or inoivility
to any oue.” Agents will not only
have their ticket-offices open for
thirty minutes before the departure
oftrains, but “will assist tho aged
and infirm to take tho cars.” Conduc
tors will see that brakemen audpor
tersarecivil'” "that porters keep the
cars clean,” and “that trainboys are
clean and gentlemanly in their de
portment. “Before arriving at eat
fnghouses.the porter must go through
tho train and announce the name of
the station and the time that will be
allowod for meals.” The baggage
men are reminded that “heavy trunks
ure not to bo damaged because they
are heavy, but must be handled as
carefully as light ones.” "The use
of intoxicating liquors while on duty,
by any employee, or the use or im
proper language before patrons of!
tho road, will be followed by inane- i
diato dismissal.”
This remarkable document is dated I
at Houston, Texas. Its provisions aro j
framed to satisfy “expectations,'’!
which long ugo disappeared from
older and more civilized coinmuni-'
nities. The command to “assist, tho I
aged and Infirm to take the cars” ;
seems absolutely absurd. But, per
haps, in Texas tno aged and infirm
carry pistols.—New York Post.
Verdict In nn Art ion tor IK-rrlt.
A singular ease was decided lost
week in the Circuit Court for Wash
ington county, Maryland. It was
given in evidence on the trial that in
1871 Mrs. Susan Weckler asked the
First National Bank of Hagerstown
to cash a draft on New York $1,047.
Tho teller of the bank, John D. New
comer. being told by her that she
wished to investtl.OdO in Washington
county bonds,advised her that abet
ter investment would bo iu Northern
Pacific Railroad bonds, which have
sinco depreciated to about fifteen
cents on tho dollar. It was also sta
ted, us an inducement for such in
vestment, that Dr. Josiah F. Smith, (
Mrs. Weckler’s physician, hud invest
ed SIO,OOO in the Northern Pacific, i
and this assurance inducod her to |
similarly invest. Robert O. Nyuan, i
the son-in-law of Mrs. Weckler, con
firmed the testimony, he being
present at tiie conversations.
The action was brought
against the teller of the bunk!
to recover tho amount invested un-i
der deceitful representations, and
the jury gave a verdict in Mrs. Week
ler's favor. The defendant, in testi-!
many, denied all allegations or de- \
ceit, and said at that time the rail-!
road bonds were in good sale and es
teemed an excellent investment, Dr. I
Smith testified that he had never in- j
vested in the Pacific Railroad bonds, |
and never told any one he had done
so. Mrs. Weckler first brought her
action against the bank, but the
Court held that it could not be main
tained because it was not within the
chartered Dowers of national banks,
under the act of Congress incorpora
ting them, to deal in bonds, and that
any one who dealt with a national
bank in a transaction beyond its pow
ers did so at his peril, and can have no
remedy against the bank every
one being presumed to know tho ex
tent of those powers and limitations.
The case was taken to tho Court of
ApiK'uls, which affirmed the rulings
of the Court below.—Augusta Chron
icle.
Florida l.aml -peculator*.
Sidney Herbert, in "No, 7.” of his
articles on “Laud of Flowers,” in
tiie Savannah Morning News, gives
a lively picture of the land specula
tors of that State. He savs: Every
man here in Florida has his local
preferences, and to hear land owners
and speculators talk—not to men
tion what the editors say-you would
think every county was the’ best. Iu
all my experience as a journalist,
covering a period of twenty years,
I have never been surrounded by
such a network of conflicting claim's
and statements. The Leon, Madison,
Jefferson and Gadsden county men
comeat you with facts and figures
that make you believe their section
of tho State" is the paradise for which
the agriculturist sighs. Then tho
Orange, Volusia, Putnam, Sumter
and Marion county men rise up, and,
with more flaming facts and figures,
! fragrant with orange, banana and
pine apple juice, disabuse your mind
of this opinion, and make you think
their counties must be tho original
"Gardeu of Elen.” My advice,
therefore, to all persons seeking
homes in “The Lana of Flowers,” is
to see and judgo for themselves of
real or fancied nnsrits of the various
counties and localities in the State
to which public attention is now be
ing called. This course can work in
justice to no section ot the State, and
will prove advantageous to the imrni
i grant who comes here wholly Iguo-
I rant of the agricultural products of
the country.

THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD TRYING
TO OUST SETTLERS FROM TERRITORY
WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE MEXICAN
GRANTS—GREAT EXCITEMENT IN CALI
FORNIA.
Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 12.— Intense
excitement exists iu this State be
cause of recent developments in the
matter of lands within the exterior
limits of Mexican grants claimed by
the Central Pacific Railroad. By all
precedent in departmental rulings, us
well as by the decisions of the courts,
this cluss of lands have always been
held us reserved aud subject to pre
emptions and homestead location.
Late decisions of Secretary Delano,
however, have stultified him.
It wus lately discovered that a case
in which the railroad had both sides,
had gone by default in the United
States Circuit Court in this State, and
; was in tho Supreme Court of the
I Uuited Slates. Upon this tho settlers
I bore sought to employ eminent coun
sel to defend that, ease to prevent
u decision evidently desired as a pre
cedent. Through their attorneys they
made application to a late eminent.
United States Senator from the
Northwest, who hv letter, agreed to
defend the ease. Later developments
reveal the fact that he had received a
retainer from the railroad company
on the other side of tho same case,
and that he had himself made a mo
tion to advance that same ease on the
docket, which had been denied. Still
more recent developments show that
a late officer, very prominent in the
Ijam] Department, is interested in
the same matter, and that he, too,
although in the employ of tiie set
tlers, has received a fee or SI,OOO from
the railroad, and his receipt for the
money is in San Francisco. As the
Mexican grants cover about one
seventh of ail the lauds in this State
and about one-fourth of all the choice
lands,as tiie settlers tiave lived upon
and improved tiie.se lands for years,
as thousands of them have paid for
their lands and received duplicates
and patents for t hem, this is the most
gigantic fraud ever attempted to be
perpetrated on a [teople. A hundred
million would not cover the amount
involved.
-
Rough on Pill-Baos.—Two of our
prominent citizens -a doctor and a
drygoods man-rhappened to go to
Chicago on the same train one day
this week. When the train stopped
atClinton Junction, a gentleman and
hia wife got aboard. The dry goods
man shook hands and spoke to them,
when the doctor did the same. After
being seated, the doctor asked the
dry goods man who they were. He
was told, und the physician exclaim
ed;
“Oil, ves, now I remember. I have
prescribed for him and his family a
number of times.”
The merchant answered. “lahould
think you would know them, then.”
“Well,” replied the physician, “I
prescribe for a great nuuny whom I
never see again.”
“Yes, yes,” rejoined the drygoods
man, “and no one else ever sees them
again, either!”
The doctor had no more to say, but
joined in tiie laugh which the joke
provoked. Jacksonville Gazette.
