JII.'NT TUB HUM.:
THE TlitJE PRINCIPLES OF THE GOVERN
MENT.
Below wo append tho resolutions
offered in tho Senate of the United
States on Monday last , hy Mr. Mc-
Donald of Indiana, as a substitute
for those of his colloaguo, Mr. Mor
ton, on the subject of the status of
tho Federal and Htato governments.
After our article of Friday last, mak
ing somo strictures on Mr. Morton’s
resolutions, It is hardly necessary for
us to say that we heartily approve
those of Mr. McDonald. There is
not a sentence In them to which we
do not give full assent, and Indeed
there are very few propositions In
them not distinctly laid down or
clearly indicated in our article of
Friday. Upon tho subject of the re
spective rights and the political re
lations of tho States and the Fedoral
Government, Democrats all over the
Union are entirely agreed, and this
Is the general bond of union between
them that must hold them together
even when they differ upon questions
of administrative policy. The great
fact that one of the political parties
of this country Is a party of centrali
zation and consolidation, while the
other esteems the undelegated rights
of tho States and tho people as the
very foundation of our whole fabric
of government, cannot fail to estab
lish the main dividing lines of our
party organizations. Mr. McDon
ald’s resolutions are very opportune
as a declaration of the pilaciples of
onoof the parties in a contest involv
ing the re-assertion of the rights of
the States and the people, of late
years most outrageously trampled
upon. Morton’s resolutions, being
their very antithesis, meet this issue
pretty squarely, and if his party fail
to support them, it must bo because
they are afraid to make their pro
fession conform to their pructico—
which Morton, it seems, is not afraid
to do.
In regard to Mr. McDonald’s last
resolution, wo may say that there will
bo no opposition to it from the South.
Those of our people who prior to 1801
insisted upon secession as a peace
able right of the States, now ac
quiesce in the settlement of tills ques
tion by the war. The Democrats of
Alabama have lately, by a unani
mous vote, sustained the .declaration
of Mr. McDonald’s resolutions on
this point, and in their decision the
Democrats of tho other Southern
States concur. There was always a
lurgo party of us at the South who
never regarded secession as a consti
tutional or pertinent remedy. But
wo lookod upon tho right of revolu
tion, when grievances became un
bearable, as an unalienated and iu
alionuble right of every poople—as a
right which the framers of the con
stitution could never have thought of
repudating so soon after they had
successfully asserted it. Morton
himself does not venture to deny this
right in his resolutions, and no mere
declaratory announcement can re
pudiate or dostroy it.
Tho followiugaro the resolutions
of Mr. McDonald:
Resolved l>y tho Senate, the House of
Representatives oonourring, That tlie peo
ple of the United States constitute a nation
and aro one people in tho manner only and
to tlie extent provided for in tho Federal
Constitution and the amendments thereto.
Resolved, That the United Colonies de
clared and achieved their independence,
and the Federal Constitution was framed
and adopted by the several States former
ly comprising tho confederacy, and called
tlie Umtod Slates of America,tlie chief pur
pose of which was to form a more perfect
union, establish justice, iusuro domestic
tranquility and provide for the common
defense and tho powers not delegated by
it to the United States, nor prohibited bv
It to tho States, wore reserved to tho States
respectively and to the people.
Resolved, That as the States were, at
the time of tho fo-matlon and adoption of
tlie Federal Constitution, each sovereign,
free and independent, except in so far only
as such sovereignty had boon expressly
delegated to tho Congress by tho articles
of confederation, tho rights reserved to
the States and to the people in tho forma
tion of tho Fedoral Government wore sov
ereign rights which cannot be impaired
without usurpation, and the only sure rule
by which to administer tho Federal Gov
ernment with respect to tho rights of
tho States and people, is a strict construc
tion of the Federal Constitution and tho
amendments thereto, and tho assumption
of no doubtful powers.
Resolved, That in tlie formation of tho
Federal Government it was the clear de
sign to leave oaeh State, and tho people
thereof, sovereign as to all matters of lo
cal or domestic conoern, and to confer
upon the Foderal Government sovereign
powers as to such matters as might affect
the general welfare of all the States, or as
might bo necessary to secure domestic
tranquility, which powers aro deiiuod in
the Federal constitution and its amend
ments. Tho people of tho United States,
therefore, from the nature and character
of their governments, State and national,
and from their relation to each other, are
not a national unity iu tho ordinary sense
of that term.
Resolved, That it being tho design to
make (lie government formed under the
Federal constitution perpetual, the right
of any State or any mimbor of States to
secede from tho Union was not reserved,
and so far as such right has been claimed
to exist it should be deemed forever sot
tled against it by the results of the late
civil war.
A DisPATcn announces that Gov.
Chamberlain, of South Carolina, re
fuses to commission Whipple and
Moses, the two obnoxious Circuit
Judges elect in that State. Their re
cent election raised quite a storm of
disapprobation, in which the best
portion of tho Republican party of
South Carolina participated, and
Chamberlain belongs to that portion
of the party. To show the depth of
tho feeling thus aroused, we make
the followiug extract from the Colum
bia Union-Herald:
“From one end of the country to
the ot her South Carolina Republican
ism will once more become a steueh
in the nostrils of men of all parties.
This will be deemed of little amount
at present by the poor fools who have
signed the death-warrant of the party
in the State, but in that near and cer
tain future, when in degradation and
despair they learn the bitter lessons
of adversity, it will be seen by them
that their’ misfortunes come from
themselves. They will see that no
man, no party, no State can resist
the awful power of public opinion.”
Tho Indianapolis Herald says:
“The man who designed our State
seal is dead. In the language of the
Dutch poet, ‘lt is well.’ Any man
who would try to make people be
lieve a full grown buffalo bull would
deliberately rush up to a granger
who was chopping down a tree at
sun rise ought to die.”
THE TIMES: THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 23, 187a.
COTTON 111 I MM; IN IHIMMOrKI.
It is no doubt known to our readers
t hat for some years past cotton crops
have been raised in a few of the coun
ties of South-oastern Missouri. The
culture has been upon too small u
scale to affect materially, or even per
ceptibly, tho amount of tho general
crop or tho prices obtained for It.
Still it does not disconcert us to see
tho statement that this culture does
not pay expenses there, because there
is an extensive strip of country along
tho same line of latitude in which
cotton can also be profitably raised
if in the lower counties of Missouri,
and there is evidently enough of it
raised in the United .States now. But
we cannot fully understand the cal
culations by which the Missourians
satisfy themselves that they cannot
pay expenses in raising cotton. The
following is tho statement of the
Stoddard County (MoJ Messenger us
to tho cost of cultivating twelve acres
in cotton there:
“Labor of one man for four months,
witli board, SIOO. horse and feed S4O, rent
of ground S4O, picking 1800 pounds per
acre at ono cent a pound s2l(l—total cost
$3%. Tho product will be half a bale to
tho acre, or six bales for the twelve acres.
Estimating 500 pounds to the bale, at lie.
a pound the proceeds will be $330, or SOO
less thun cost.” .
It appears from this that one man
and one horse made 6 bales of cotton,
of 500 pounds each, in four months—
all except tho picking out. Tho cost,
$25 a month, for the man’s wages and
board, was not greatly moro than
that paid by Southern planters for
negro labor, and the price of horse
feed must have been less in Missouri
than in Gcorj/la—so that there could
have been no great difference in these
two items of expense, taken together,
in tho two sections. The Missourian
figures out a failure to pay expenses;
yet most Southern cotton planters
making six bales by the labor of one
man and one mule, would have made
money at 11c. per pound.
They must either have very clum
sy cotton pickers in Missouri, or they
pay very high wages for cotton pick
ing there. One cent per pound paid
for picking seed cotton would reverse
the balance with Southern planters
also- amounting as it does to moro
than one-fourth the value of the seed
cotton. But here again we cannot
understand the Missourian’s figures.
If he picked 1800 pounds of seed cot
ton from each of the twelve acres, he
ought to have made twelve bales, in
stead of six, from his twelve acres,
unless they have a very peculiar kind
of cotton in Missouri. Eitherwe must
double the proceeds of the Missouri
an’s crop, or we must deduct one-half
tho amount (S2I6J charged to account
of picking the cotton; ami cither of
these operations would exhibit a
profit instead of a loss from his cot
ton planting.
Wo concludo that tho Missouri edi
tor did not understand tho subject
he was writing about. Ho could
probably state much more accurate
ly the cost and profit of hog raising.
We thought tliat it was coming,
and here it is. A pica of insanity
has been ontered for Charles Fisher,
Assistant District Attorney at Wash
ington, who is charged with abstract
ing court papers. What a wonder
that the parties convicted as mem
bers of the St. Louis whiskey ring
did not think of the plea of Insanity!
V. I*. Wilson’s Successor.
The resolution of Senator Ed
munds requiring the Senate to elect
a President pro ton. on the 7th of
January is an interesting one. It
involves tho question whether or
not there is a President of the Senate
within the moaning of tho Constitu
tion and the law; it involves the pos
sible succession to the Presidency of
the United States; it touches the con
stitutional rights of the Sneaker of
the House and of Senator Ferry; it
relates to the temper of the Senate
concerning Senator Ferry and his
views. There can bo but littio doubt
that, tho President pro ton. of the
Senate holds that office during the
existence of the body which elected
him. That is in accordance with leg
islative usage. That was tile inten
tion of the Senate when it elected
him. Ho wasn’t elected for
a day, but for the Forty-
Fourth Congress. We know of ho
precedent antagonizing this view.
But does he succeed to the perma
nent President of the Senate ? If he
is tho lawful “President of the Sen
ate” to-day, of course no other man
can be lawfully elected to that posi
tion. He is entitled to his rights as
the occupant of tho place to which
ho was chosen. The fact that when
ho was elected the Senators did not
anticipate the death of the Vice Pres
ident, cannotenter the discussion. It
is said that this movement for the
election of a President pro ton. is for
the purpose of displacing Ferry, not
for making his position more secure
and his succession to the highest office
in the event of tho President’s deatli
more certain. The resolution singu
larly calls for the election of a “Pres
ident pro tern.” There is already a
President pro tern., and if lie is iiot
“President of the Senate,” recog
nized by the Constitution and tho law,
no “President pro tern.” that the
Senate might elect would be. If
there is no “President of the Senate”
on the death of the President of the
United States tho Speaker of tho
House becomes President of the
United States, and this fact can not
bo changed without changing the law
of the land. Have the Senators the
right to choose a “President of the
Senate,” strictly speaking? Was it
intended that the possible naming
of a President should be left to the
United States Senate? Was it not
meant that the Speaker, tho head of
the representative body of the coun
try, should be President in ease of
the death of tho President and Vice-
President?—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Territorial Government. It is un
derstood in Washington that the del
gates from tho different Territories
will endeavor this session to amend
the general law relating to their gov
ernment so as to make the principal
offices, now iu the gift of the Presi
dent, elective. A couple of years ago,
in a spasm of reform, the President
promised that he would, whenever
possible, select the Territorial officers
from among the actual residents of
the Territories; but tLis policy was
soon reversed, and the Administra
tion returned to tho old system of
quartering decayed politicians upon
them. It is argued that if the Terri
tories are allowed to choose t iieir own
officers, the management of their af
fairs will be greatly improved, and
many abuses, which it is now impos
sible to remedy, will bo corrected. It
is probable that a bill looking to this
end will pass the House.
l.nrendH of G<-ncU.
Mr. George Smith, who had charge
of the expedition sent to Assyria by
the London Telegraph, has been busi
ly engaged since his return in arrang
ing the inscriptions ho found buried
in Chaldean, uud Assyrian mounds.
With several small pieces in the
British museum collection ho has
succeeded in obtaining a continuous
scries of legends giving tho history
of tlie world from the creation down
to some period after the fall of man.
Linked with some of these he also
found other legends on primitive his
tory, including the story of the build
ing of the tower of Babel and of tho
confusion of tongues. Mr. Smith
will publish u full account and trans
lation of these Genesis legends. In
a recent letter to the Telegraph he
save:
The narrative on the Assyrian tab
lets commences with a description of
the period before the world was cre
ated, when there existed a chaos of
confusion. The chaos is presided
over by a female power named Tisa
lat and Tlaruat, corresponding to the
Thalaith of Berosus; but as it pro
ceeds tho Assyrian account agrees
rather with the Bible than with the
short account from Berosus. We are
told, in the inscriptions, of the fall of
thocelestial being who appears to cor
respond to Satan. In his ambition
lie raises his hand against the sanc
tuary of the God of heaven, and the
description of him is really magnifi
cent. This rebellion leads to a war
in heaven and tho conquest of tho
powers of evil, the gods in due course
creating the universe in stages, as in
tho Mosaic narrative, surveying each
step of the work and pronouncing ft
good. The divine work culminates
in tlie creation of man, who is made
upright and free from evil, and en
dowed by the gods with the noble
faculty of speech. The Deity then
delivers a long address to tho newly
created being, instructing him in ail
his duties and privileges, and point
ing out the glory of iiis state. This
condition of blessing does.not last
long before man, yielding to tempta
tion, fails; and the Deity then pro
nounces upon him n terrible curse,
invoking on his head all the evils
which have since afflicted humanity.
The Blackberry Trade. Tho
Nashville American says one
hundred thousand pounds of dried
blackberries have been shipped from
that city this year. The prices paid
rangod from six to ten and a half
cenls, generally advancing half a
cent at a time. Over $l,lOO was paid
to one man tills year by one dealer
for 11,3(12 pounds of berries gath
ered for him. The American adds:
Tho pickers, instead of remaining
idle, tackled all tlie blackberry
bushes near and far, and made
money as long as there remained a
berry on them. On every farm in
the county, where blackberry
bushes are found growing, they
are cut down to give room for corn,
grain, etc. The farmer thinks he is
making money by so doing, yet if the
ground lie of a sterile character, and
the grain, etc., does not grow well
thereon, it would have been much
better to have allowed tho bushes to
remain and lino the domestic purse
with dollars realized from the sale of
tlie berries. When carefully dried,
blackberries are said to retain their
original taste better than any other
fruit. It only requires a careful con
sideration of the above facts, by our
friends in the country, to realize their
truth. They should reflect, and
when summer comes again, keep an
eye on the blackberry crop.
The Proposed Compromise. -The
Western Democrats propose to com
promise, and are willing to meet
their hard-money brethren of the
East half-way. All they insist on is
a repeal of the Resumption Aot,no
further contraction, the substitu
tion of greenbacks for National Bank
bills, and the taking of greenbacks
at tlie Custom-house for revenue.
But at the latest advices the Eastern
Democrat was peering through his
spectacles with intense anxiety to
discover where the compromise
comes in. He can not see it.—New
