Dabney, late Solicitor for the Department of State at Washington, now Professor of Law in the 1 University of Virginia, in an an article on the Monroe doctrine, says: "The extent of territ^y does not affect the principle involved, though it may be an important consideration in determining whether our Government should insist on its application * in this particular instance, Dut if a comparatively trivial aggression by foreign powers upon a weak South American republic shouM appear likely to result in similar or further i aggressions by the same or other powers, wisdom should suggest that 1 the doctrine be either promptly as-* ( seried or definitely abandoned by the 1 United States. That the cond:tuus t under which the doctrine was an- < nounced was very different from tin se j which now exist cannot be denied. t "I'he divine right of Kings and t absolute royal or imperial power, ( whatever the theory may bo, arc t practically recognized in but one oi t the ereat Euronean nowors of tmlnv r u i r " ' " Englishmen, whether in the mother country or in her colonics, scout the 1 idea that their institutions are less t free than ours, and it is highly improb-, ?: ible that the principles of the Holy t Alliance will ever again be seriously 1 isserted, even on the continent of ?i Europe. They certainly can never c mdanger the free institutions of the s United States. i "It should in fairness also be said, i n reference to the pending Anglo- c Venezuelan controversy, that the col- v >ny of British Guiana would probably s tot suffer by a comparison of its pol b ticaZ institutions with those of Veil- p 'zuela as regards the practical pro- e ection afforded by them respectively o o individual liberty. Perhaps Lord o Salisbury has reference to consider- t? tions of this sort when he says that S he Monroe doctrine is generally in J pplicable to the state of things in H Jpon this suggestion the Presideut, vithout. as lie i-avs. attemutincr marks. f ^ ' f a ind he undoubtedly voices the sentinents of the people ot' the United States, that the doctrine was 'intended to apply to every stage ofournat- a onal life, and cannot become obsolet o kvhile our Republic endures.' I "It may be remarked, too. that ^ commercial as well as political con- c ^derations lie at the basis of the Mmi- 1 roe doctrine, and if the latter have ' diminished in importance the former > has increased since the doctrine was > first announced. If Er.glrnd is rea* 1 ly claiming territory which of right < is not hers, but Venezuelqs, the ease i certainly falls wiihin the purview of 1 the Monroe doctrine, and, since Kng 1 land refuses to submit the whole controversy to arbitration, the President proposes the only feasible mode of detemining what the action of tiiis Government in the case should be ? namely, an investigation ofthe merits of the question by commisioners of our own." Jonesrille. Dec. 23?The weather is fine and our people are closing up the years work and arc about ready for Christ mas and in better shape than they have been for several years past. It seems though that the waters arc about to be troubled.

In other words, tho United Kingdom buys three or four times us much front us as she sells to iis. Our iingoo^ who are 60 eager for warwith England will, of course, conadei it a trilling matter for this trade to be broken up. Indeed, they xppear to think it trill be a fine thing to have ? war which wjli prevent iin aortatTons.

If she must iepend upon the United States for uch a large propotiou of her raw notorial, and if her greatness is due nainly to her manufactures and her olnmcrce, would not she be hurt rorse than we bv a war which would#! top that trade?

J The Fight Against R~ Consolidation. Gov. Evans says that just as soon s it is shown that the real owners if the Saul hern Railway arc the real mrchasers of the Port Hoyal and rVestern Carolina Road, and the reorganization has been undertaken, le would direct that legal proceedings >e instituted to sec that the charter -.?o n nmiliitil mioI tliof- tli ii ion was not effected. 11c said tliat ic has already advised the Secretary ?f State not to record any railroad reorganization or charter papers until they were referred to the Attorney General's ollice. It the case of the reorganization of the Port Koyal and Western Carolina lioad could not he reached bv the new constitution he said that there was no doubt in his mind that it was a case that was fully covered by the existing statute law. | Govenor Evans says that the people of the State have repeatedly expressed themselves against the consolidation of competing /ines, and that he ex pccts to see every fragment of law exhausted in trying to defeat the expected consolidation. As to the Port Royal and Augusta ease Governor Evans is confident as to the final result, and lie thinks that the Federal courts will sustain the State courts in the matter. lie is somewhat disappointed that the case should have taken this long to reach a final settlement, as it has been in the mills of the court for over two years. n c UIM VI iiwi iiiio oaji a tutu- niv owners of railroads may as well realize that there is no need for them to try and '"gobble up" competing lines and that the State will in conformity with the laws do everything it can to prevent any such sonsolidations.

The little war talk that was pro. duced in Charleston by the Pros i dent's Jingo message to Congress has subsided, but from all appearanc es work at Fort SSumter is still progressing. Capt. Abbot, the cngineci in charge of tho forefications of this fort, which by the by, are not forti tications'^t^l, few days since, where he is at present at the war department. It is said that Capt. Abbot has been summoned for the purpose of being shown some new plans and to receive secret j orders ana instructions. W nether this is true or not cannot be definite ly said, as no infoimation can be obtained frou Capt. Abbot's office. Whether Capt Abbot is in Washing ton for this purpose or not there can be but little doubt that the work is progressing at Sumter. The tell lalo smoke is still rising and the Govern, inents steamers arc constantly at the wharf. It is probable that whether there is war or not, that the towers and guns, of which mention has been made in The Sunday News, will be putin position, BOOKS! SMI T I I A: ?
