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. fHE TIMES*. FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 17,1*15. sTI PKNUOI H I,A M> Cl AIM. 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.
