The New York Mail graciously ad? mits that the State of South Carolina has the right to se: up a statue <>f John C. Calhoun in Statuary Hall at Washington. Just so. ara we might add that it is really no one's business but South Carolina's. And we might go still further and say that no State will be more creditably represented than South Carolina will ey hading Calhoun in the hall. Of the gr-at triumvirate-Calhoun, Clay ?nd Web? ster-more than one north am writer of sound judgment has placed Cal? houn at the head in all that tends co make a great man and a great states? man. Referring to the proposed ac? tion, the Mail says: "Calhoi n's effigy will stand in Stat? uary Hah very much as Cleopatra's Needle stands in Central Park. The obelisk, there, is a token and memo? rial of the fact that power and glory have departed from Egypt. The statue of Calhoun, at the Capitol, will bi the costliest, perhaps the finest, of his monuments and it will grace the seat and scene of the federal power which the South Carolina statesman so profoundly suspected." The inference is not exactly jus: ? or fair. Carried to its obvious con ! elusion it would mean that the theory of government for which Calhoun stood had departed from ih-? Ameri? can people, just as the glory has de? parted from Egypt, but this is not 'true, although we admit that the ten? dency of the present administration is towards making it true, if possible. Calhoun was neither a secessionist nor a disunionist. He loved the Un? ion as devoutly as did either :>f his great colleague, but the union h? lov? ed was the union as the founders, of the republic understood it, and not a union which would make thv_ federal government supreme. It is easy and proper to admit that his plan of guarding the rights of the State by nullifying the acts or' con? gress was wholly untenable, and we suppose no sound statesman would now stand for that doctrine, or advo? cate resorting to it, for it was;-or would have been, if carried out-more destructive of the Union of the States than secession. If one State could nullify or set aside an act of con? gress for any given reason any other State could nullify another law for any other reason, and the result must have been anarchy or cha:>s. His the? ory of a dual government was no sounder or safer. In short, some of the doctrines so ably and strenuously held by the great South Carolinian cannot be defended or palliated and no one now upholds them. But we should bear in mind that these theories for which Calhoun la? bored with the powers of his great j mind were based on his intense devo- ; tion to the south and to the rights ] of the States which he believed to be endangered. Some of the acts of j congress and the administration j would in his judgment, lead to j dangerous and unrepublican centrali- j zation of power and ultimately change j our form of government. Earnest. ] honest and fearless in advocacy of | what he believed to be right, as we j know him to have been, we may yet j admit that the succesful succession i would have done. For all chat, all j his aberrations, if we may so term j them, were founded on devotion to ! j the reserved rights of the States, and we do not admit that this doctrine is dead as the glory of Egypt. And, by the way, we wonder what Calhoun would think and say of federal en? croachments and centralization now? He would be ready to admit that what happened in his own time and gave him so much concern was really in? significant when compared to later happenings and tendencies. By all means South Carolina should honor John C. Calhoun.-Montgom? ery Advertiser. THE POWDER TRUST. Federal Government Will Brins: Suit /for Dissolution of the Combine.

SOUTHERN* ROAD FIXED. Assessed $30,000 for Violation of Xew Kate Law-Agents Gets Off With a Fin?? o? $5. Raleigh X. C.. July 19.-The South? ern railway was today .fined $3<?.000 and Thomas E. Green, ticket agent of the company, was fined ?? in the S cate court here for selling railroad tickets at a rate in excees of that provided by the recent State law for ! a uniform rate of 2 1-4 cents a mile j in Xnrth Carolina. The court requir ! ed Green to promise not to sell tick ets at the illegal rate. Green made the promise r?.nd paid the fine. In the case against T. E. Green, Judge Long's sentence was $10 and a promise from Green not to again defy the law by selling tickets at an excess rate. Green was given half an hour for consideration and came into court and agreed to pay the fine and give the promise, whereupon the fine was reduced to $5, which Green paid. The morning session was taken up by argument of counsel, followed by the charge to the jury. In imposing sentence on the Southern railway, Judge Long declared emphatically that jurisdiction in criminal cases in this State is exclusively with the State courts. He informed the Southern railway counsel that if the railway would obey the act of the legislature and put the rate law into effect until finally passed upon by the proper tri? bunal that the State would hold up its cases. He di? rected that execution be issued against agents of the Southern rail payment of the fine of $30,000 im? posed and that the papers be placed in the hands of the sheriff for execu? tion. The court then adjourned. There are cases on the docket here against agents otf he Southern rail? way at Auburn, Garner. Cary and Mooresville, similar to the Green case. These go over to the next term. It is understood that cases will be brought in every county in Xorth Carolina in which the Southern rail? way sells tickets.
