Iw .lie says : ^ The punishment of murder, ar- a< - son, assaults and battAies, tress- tl passes, frauds injuries to reputa- o tion, obstruction to the right of'V Attending church, public schools, Lj theatres and forcing the right of beiug accommodated in inns, andi common carriers within the. m >ouiib, svuiv; mauers uui oniv nui granted to the General Govern-1 Jmcut, but in the Constitution itself 0 expressly reserved to the States. > -\ 'The vastness of civil and political t< limits included in the compendious}<p phrase, "right to life, liberty and1, the jtersuit of happiness," rested'J1 entirely understates protection.? ^ To this familiar atid unquestioned j lc tmwm there was universal assent jo ti*ow, and is now. The only ques- fj tiew presented for judicial deterini-L nscion is, have these amendments j 1 completely revolutionized the | P whole character of our Govern-1 Mient, because, it is certainly cvi-.ri dent that,, if Congress has the; "^Q\ver of regulating the theatre h an<hother places of amusement injC MenipTiis and other place? in the SI Union, this necessarily involves!g the power of protecting the more; -sacred and important rights of the^l colored citizen. lie then reviews jj the Thirteenth Amendment) andii. declares that it abolished slavery''1 and did no more, lie also reviews, r at great length, the Fourteenth^ Amendment, and says the clauses .forbidding States to deprive any; ,person of life, liberty and property, ijj without due process ot law, or' j denying any person the equal pro-, tection of the law, have no appli-jl1 cation to this subject. They arc! intended solely to prevent the ar-; bitrary transfer of property from]'1 citizen to citizen without legal ad-j t judication or process, and prevent e the establishment of tribunals for 0 .rvf nnfsnne I'oi'viiny Fl'fini 1 VIU'O v/l ovuo i UI j 111^ .itvi**; * those wl'ich determine the rights! of all.

The Court The special term of our Court f Common Peas opened here on [onday last, Judge R. B. Carpensr, of tlie Fifth Circuit presiding, lie Judge is one of the oldest idicial officers in the State, and ispatches business with great ce>rity, and rare sagacity. Courteus to all, he is at the same time nn in enforcing the rules of the i\v, and hence makes an admirable residing officer. The following arc the jurors cnollcd for the time : J ray Xo. 1.?"\V. A.

The only basis for he charge of the Chicago editor, eems to be that Mr. Stephens was . whig, but as shown by the Contitutiomhst some ot the brightest ights of the old whig party, Mr. . lay himself and General Harrion were advocates of the doctrincc >f States Rights. The treatises nd speeches of the Georgia Statesman, certainly furnish ample indication of his position with cgard to this great principle. mmense Loss to the Cotton Planter Our exchanges arc still discussing he serious loss which has befallen lie cotton planter this 3*car by the arly sale of their cotton?estimated ty a Liverpool cotton factor at S10,K)0,000 and by the New York Eve ting Post at the enormous sum of 27,100,000. This sum has been taken rom the hardearningsof tho planter, md turned over to swell the profits if tho speculator. It has all resulted rom cotton articles in loading flnr.n:ial journals, furnishing excessive es[mates of the crop; tho effect of vhich has been to depress tho pricc ?f the staple, and thus play into the lands of the cotton speculator. The 'oily in making the estimates consists n basing them upon the early receipt; )f the staple, which furnish no pro )er measure of the largeness of tin :rop. Thus the receipts of tho pres ;nt season from September to Janua y were largely in cxccks of prccc ling years. The receipts for Janua y and February tell the correct tale md give a falling oIt* this year o; 1GO,000 from that of ihe same month; n 1870-71. Tho only remedy foj he planter i* to put himself in tsucl i condition to hold on to his crop, un il lie can get a fair market prjee, anc ,iiis is only attainable, by getting om )f debt, ami this ean only be done bj ,hc most rigid ceonom}*, b}- variei nisbandry, and by making an muel tnd buying as little as practicable. We learn that Messrs. McGlicc A Brother have laid in such a lwg< stock of goods that they have- begj compelled to rent "our" calabooSo ai i store room. *4^* One da}'last week Messrs.
