S 60T N.WAR SlETYENT. OVERNOR YAGATH TO GOVERNOR VANCE. Popoesing is 185 to Save the State. by DIaeslvag the Bertera Coaderaey.. Th Cerpilmla aad O,urgia In the Same [Special Dipatch to the Netw York H rald.] WBIUINGTON, January 17, 1885. The letter of General Sherman, about which there was a squabble in the Senate the other day, has led to the looking up of other war correspond ence than that to which he referred, and-the following letter of Governor -Magrath,' of South Carolina, to Gov ernor Vance, of North Carolina, has sufficient interest to be printed. The conventions alluded to in the letter were State Conventions, which it had been proposed to call on several of the Southern States to assert their State Independence of the Confederate Government, which it was thought had Overridden and trampled upon State sovereignty. The letter is curious as showing to how great a degree, even under the extreme pressure of war, many of the Confederate leaders re malned merely political philosophers and were incapable of political states manship. Jeff. Davis and those who ruled with him at* Richmond were undoubtedly practical men and saw that war meant war and necessitated the use of all the forces attainable, under a single head; but Qovernor Magrath's queer notion seems to have been that consistency in doctrine is better than success in the single object desired, and that success was, in fact inperrilled by the union of forces, and might have been attained by each State acting for itself. Such men as Governor Magrath had so steeped their minds in the queer and anarchical doctrine of State Inmde pendence that they could see nothing else. They were as ready to secede from the Confederacy as they had been to secede from the Union, and lie would no doubt have acknowledged the right of a county of South Cato lina to secede from the State and set up independently. Southern men of practical minds reading such a letter as this of Governor Magrath's must now smile to think what absurdities and anarchy they escaped When the rule of this extrordinary sect of politi cal philosophers were overthrown. If they will compare the actions of the Federal and the Confederate Govern ments during the war they will see also that the real and important rights of the Northern States were much less invaded and much opore carefully re garded than those of the Southern States by the Davis Government, and that the vitally important principle of self-government was held more sacred and preserved with far greater care in the North than in the South during the war. That is the tindoubted -truth. It was only after, the war and when. so many Republican leaders had become intoxicated with their success and cor rupted by their secret and illegal gains, that they violated that policy m the Southern States. Governor Magrath's letter is a very curious document: GOVEItNOR MAGRIATII TO GOVERNOR VANCE. - - STATE OF SOUTH CAJROLINA, EXECUTIYE JEPAnTM'T, Jan. 26, t865. GoviEmcon: At 1ny return from Chiariestoni Col. Mullins gave me your letter. I amt at Once gratified and honored with your concurrence ini the suggestions I ventured to make to you. Confirmed in my purposes by your applroval, I am p)reparing and will dis patch without delay to the Governors of Alabama, 'Mississippi and Florida similar suggestions to those which were addressed to you, and supported, as they will be, by your endorsement, I have no doubt of speedily securing that united and concerted action which I hope) and believe will accomplish all that we desire. At the earliest nmo ment and in anticipation of responses from the Governors of the States I have named, I w ill prepare and submit to you the draft of such a paper as I think calculated fitly to expr-ess the opinions we have formned. I have wrItten to Governor Brown in ac knowledg ment of his reply to me and also the lHon. A. HI. 'Stephens; to the latter addressing myself particularly to the consideration of thme great (lan ger of calling the people of Geor-gia ito a convention, assuring him of my hope and belief that without incurring the great dangers involved in the call for a convention, all that wve desire to secure can be accomnplishted without it, and most strongly urging him to use the authority of his name anid the in fluence of his p)osition againa8t that proposition. It is to me a p)rop)osition of incontestable correctntess thIa t the great source of the evils uinder which we labor is to be traced to the de pen dent position which the State Govern mnents have beein content to assume ini the progress of a war which, inm its large proportion, has called forth the exercise of those powvers which wvqre reserved to the States, but wvhich Cdu gress has attempited to use, and in that attemp)t the St.ate Governmemis from patriotic, hut am evenits have sho wn not wise,- motives have acquiesed. Starting from princip)les directly an tagonistic, the Government of the United States and the Government of the Confederate States have practically 'arrived in the matters of administra tin at theo same result. In both the suggestions of con venienice have been regarded as the sanction sufficient for any conduct they might adopt. And the most ll-omened cry throughout the Confederacy is the one so frequently heard, that the force of the law is sus pended, and tihe pressure of the wvar has borne downm thme authority of the Constitution. In the United States such a principle harmonized with tihe political dogmas there professed. Inm the Confederate States it was in violeint opposition to the tenets for tihe vIndi cation of which those States seceded. The arbitrary course of thme former Government was, therefore, tihe natu ral consequence of its doctrines, while such a course in our Government wvas utterly inconsistent with Its purposes or its powers. We have therefore presented, in thme whole progress of the war, the stand iing contradiction of States united in a .-ague for the support of their sepa rate independence called on to ignore, if not abjure, that independence; a compact of carefully guarded powers expanding into a Ghovernmentt without limittion or responsibility. Gjuaran tees for the liberty of person and pro tection of prop)erty, not only not re spected, but so recklessly invaded that tihe retention of such prerogatives no0w seem rather a mockery than a guarantee. Whenever* there has been an invasion of those guarantees of personal liberty and property the citi sen was paralyzed by the acauiescence of his Stan. in the assumption by th comuOn (IWrneit of reroga tive,Ind , 44.etate .apapipitz purpQoe to assert ignity and ite rights, the cry Iat the arm of the common, G gynment would be there by pat. froed It' to abandon its pu and trust to the hope that a ee .terwination of thq war would terminate the forced and unnattiral, I will not say undignified, condition in which it had been placed. As might have been expected, the exercise of powers which were never intended to be conferred upon the common Gov ernment has necessarily called forth an equally unapthorized.adp1nistrgtionof them. Imprirssmont, for the sake of illustration, hts supplied 'the place of contraZt. The order of a bureau ac complishes what Congress itself woul! not venture to do. 'The functions of a judge are transferred to some military officer, and the course of justice is closed by the denial to a magistrate of the power to inquire into the cause of a commitment. Arrests are made by order, detention is secured by com mand, and a power more gigantic than any crowned head in Europe would exercise is )esented to us as the means by which we are to ensure suc cess in a struggle to establish a free Government. It is thus that we have dried up the openings from which new courage and fresh impulse could have been given to.our people in this protracted contest in which they have been engaged. We taught them to know their States as their country, \nd- in the defense -f that country we have blotted out and hidden from their view those States which are that country. Unhappily for us, the lapse of time, which has but served to multiply the cases in w h the State Governments have acY iiesced in this wide departure from the standards of right and justice, have also so much increased the dangers of defeat and so much intensified the desire for repose that it will require something of firmness to sustain the State Government in its proper posi tion. But if there is difficulty, and however great that difficulty, it is to be more than counterbalanced by the plain truth that it is only by restoring the State Governments to their proper condition that our success in this war can be secured. Unless military suc cesses shall give to it new life the credit of the Confederate Government is gone; with the loss of its credit, its resourcos of course are also gone. Fortunately, the credit of the State is maintained. The question is, there fore, looming up directly before us. Shall the Confederate Goyerniment d minister our credit as it has our sup plies and warlike appliances which we have given to it? I may well suppose that to this proposition there will be but one answer: if so, it will furnish the occasion, and that, according to all probability, not far distant, when we inust understand better than we have done the relations of the State to the common Government at Richmond. It I look forward to this or any other circumstance which is likely to bring us'back to our true position, it is be cause in that position alone can I find assurance of our certain success. We will :have men enough to make an army able to winl our deliverance; we still have resources sufficient to carry us safely through all our difficulties. But we have no more men to lose; we have now no resources to waste; the States, as States, are to fight out- this bloody wvar. They are the realities of this grand drama; all else is but the ap)pendaige. 1t is the political condition 'of each State wvhich is to be won or' lost. It is the life, liberty and prtoperty of the citizens of each of those States wvhichm are staked upon th'e issue of the con test. If we save these we have the common Governiment those States have framecd. Anid those States are hed together, n ot because they have so written and( signed, but because thev recognize in all of their relations th~e evidenice of a common dlestinvy. Let is not forget ini dealing~ with tlhis great war' that we find our strength in the complreesion ot1 thle fireat p)rinciples of hiuman conduct and action. I have been led away by the considerationsg which press ulpoi n.e further, I fear, thaii your patienice iil allow, and will only delay you unitil I assure you of the resp)ect of' your obedient ser~vant, A. G. MAnrrrI. Gov. Z. B. VACEs, Italeigh, N. C. A Talk With GIovernior Magrath. Juidge iMagrathi, the author of the letter to Gover'nor Vance, Is livinig in Charleston. iIe has nmot taken an ac tive part ini lpolitics since the wvar. A r'eporter for tihe News and Courier callhed on him and asked hinm if lie could be "interviewed" ini regard to the article punblished1 in thme New York Heraldi. .Judge Magrath said ''"Why, 1.aim not ill politics nowv, and1( you are dliggmgli upl a political corpse." WVhen tol'd that thme IIerald( had invaded the cemetery ini this instance and( that the News and Cour'ier wished to give his side of the story, Judge Magrath said: "Tihe truth of thme mlatter' is just this: You, have brought tihe letter to myv at tenitioni and I have read it. It 'fully expressedl tihe sentimnents anid opinion's thlat I entertainued at thme time it was wrmittenm. Under tile like circumlstanices at this day I would entertaini and1 ex. press the same op)inions. The idea that I ever' inteinded to exp)ress anl opinion that the relationi of a county to a State was at all like that of a State in its sove reign caf acity either to the Confederate Govermnt or the Goy ecruet of the United States, was one that onily could be enltertained by hmimt wvho had1( no conlception of what was the r'elation of a State to a GAener'al Government under a written Conlsti tutionu, which declares that every po0w er' not granted by that Constitution to tihe General Government was a right reservedl by thme State to itself in its sovereignl capacity; thalt the Constitu tioni was a limitation upon the powers of the General Government, andl, emnly so far as those powers were expressly gr'anted, did It give power to the Genm eral Government. These were doc trines enltertained byv the people of this State at tile time of its secessionl. They were fundamental anid had come dlownm to us from tile creation of the Govern ment. "It was for t.he plurpose, amion1g othm er' tings, of mnainltainling tile righlts of a State that the State of' South C2aroli na0 and( otheri secedinig States resolved1 upon a separation 01' thme Union, be cause ini tile conitinuancie of that Union thley believed that thlese rights wereo being imperilled by the conistanit eni croachtmnts mnade upon01 them. The same conviction of the necessity that existed to prteser've these rights at the tinme of the secession of tile State coni tinluedl to exist ini full for'co after the State had secedled, and( the rights of the State, as a sovereign Stato, wero matters to me of paramount considera tion after the State secedled anId during the war quite as much as they ha(d been before the State seceded. I had 1 o or'ono moment entertaliwe "tae idea that the State had surrendered its ri tas a sovereign State because It bait ieceded from the Union with all the other States. "The critic in the Herald falls into a misconception. I never meant, and it could not have been understood by any one that I did mean, that the eleven seceding States, each fighting Indepen dently of the other, could carry on the war successfully. But I did nean that in order to secure the full and volunta ry contribution of the men and the money of these States to t eif u 9$t capac1ty, it was necessaiy that th - pie of the different States should feel that they were contributed by the States, each being secured ih the 'fdll enjoyment of its rights to that end, be cause of the danger to which they had seceded from the United States. I be lieved that the people in each State should continue to feel as they felt when they had seceded-that they were the citizens of a sovereign State, and that to support that State as such they would freely surrender all. their resources ?hether of men or of money. And I did not believe that there was such a thing possible as coercing the people of a State to surrender every thing that they had under the guise of enabling them to be free, I did not think that mere coercion would give that support for the successful issue of the contest that was to be found in the free will of the people in whose behalf the war was being waged. "Any such idea that any other pur pose was intended than to cement more closely and firmly the resources and the destinies of the seceding States to the end of a successful issue in the con test, would be a curious misunder standing of me in the l,osition I occu pied. "The immediate occasion of coin municating with the several Governors was because I w-ts satisfied that the temper of the people should be pre served just, as it was when the war was commenced, and for that purpose that the causes, which I had supposed were to a certain extent atectinpg that tem per, should be removed.. It was for the purpose of combining the opinions of these Governors as to the proper mode to be adopted in having objec tionable matters relieved, that their opinions amd co-operation was asked asked not for the purpose of weaken ing the adhesion of the States to the Confederate Government, but for the purpose of making their bond of union under the Confederate Government as strong as it could possibly be made by Uniting their atl'ections for their States, and their ittterests as citizens, with unlimited confidence in the General Government of the Confederate States. "1 do not and did not at any time question the honesty of the piurposes of Mr. )avis and those who were near him, but I thought they were making, or allowing to be made, weaker and weaker, the sources from which strength could be drived to continue the war, and that remonst.aance to that eflect would be-heeded when made by those who were as earnest as any mcn inl the seceding States could be and had devoted themselves to the success of the purpose of their several States in their ordinances of secession." Take Care of the Body. The Christian Index, the leading organ of the Baptist Church in the South, pulblished in Atlanta, Ga., in its issue of December 4, 1884, has the fol lowing editorial: 4 Too mnany p)eole seem to think thati a religious niewspaper should be con fined to the discussion of moral and relgios sbjetsonly, for-getting that reliionhasto do both with the b,odies and souls of men. "Prove all t hinigs, hold fast that wvhich Is good," has ~as much to do with the practical side of life as it has with the moral side. (Jur readers will bear testimony that in all qunesi ions dliscussed in the' Index, the p)ractical has been duuly set forth. Ini this p)aragraphl, therefore, wve only seek to present an article worthy of commendation. After subjecting'it to the above test we have tried oift's Specific and found it good-good as a blood p)urifier, good as a health tonic. In this opinlion wey are sustained by some of the best men in the church. R1ev. .Jesse 11. Campbell, the Nestor of the Baptist (denominationi in Georgia, says: "'It is my deliberate judgment that Swift's Specific is the granidest blood purifier ever discovered, its eff'ects are wonderful, and I consider them almost miraculous. T1here is no medilcine comparable to it." Dr. HI. U. H[ornadly, one of the best knownt rninisters in our church, savs: "Swift's Specific is one of the best'blood purl tiers In existence.' These brethren speak advisedly- But few prep)arationus can brine forward such endiorsemnents. The ~Index de sires only to endorse these statements. We have witnessed the beneficial effects of this medicine, not only in our own households, but ini several other cases where seemingly all other remedies hadl fatiledl. It is purely a vegetable compound, scientifically pre p~ared, and pierfectly harmless in its comp)osition. It renews the blood and builds up brokeni down systems-gives tone and( vigor to the constitution,, as well as restores the bloom of health to the suffering. Therefore, we do not deemi It inconsistent with duties of a religious journal to say this muclh in its behalf. (Our Treatise on Blood and Skini Diseases mailed free.

WA~smIlNoN, JTanuary 22.--Mrs. Matthews, ifie of Justice Stanlev l atthewvs of' the Suprenme Court, dicil o-day, anid the Supreme Court, after passing aesolutions of' simpathy with Justice Matthews, adjourned till Mon clay next Why Mr. McClure Was Arested ta gr.w Orleaus--Yamure of the Lottery Mnn to Get a 8taudlug in the Courts Here. ' Prom the Philephia Timea.J Mr. McClure, editor of the Times, Arrved at New Orleans on Saturday etening. Before the train reached the station a United States marshal enter ed the car and served a writ upon Mr. McClure, issued at the suit of Maxi lnilian A. Dauphin, who demands the sum of $100,000, with interest and t iil atonernent for alleged injury ou by the editor of the Times to Dauphin's Louisiana Lottery business. It is a civil action in the United States tii'ctiit Court against Mr. McClure in ilividually, and Is substantially the same action brought against the Times Publishing Company a year ago. That was dismissed by, Judges McKennan and huler because there could be no actionable injury to a lawless business. The libel originally complained of was an account of the operations of the Louisiana State Lottery Company, published In the Times of July 26, 1883. In the declaration of the case, Maximilian A. Dauyhin, who describ ed.himself in his legal complaint as "a citizen of the Republic of France" and a "good, true, honest, Just and faithful subject of the United States of Ameri en," who had been deyyived by the Times of "daily and 11ouestly acquir ing great gains and profits," asked that $100,000 be aWarded him as compensa tion for his losses. After repefted efforts for delay on the part of the counsel of the injured Maximiliati the case was forced to argument before Judges McKennan and Butler, of the United States Court, on April 30, 1884. Counsel for the Times argued that no Court would lend its aid to a man who founded his cause of action upon an immoral or an illegal act and who was "seeking to spread his pestilential business inl this and im other States of the Union, in open and confessed contempt of the laws which he defies." "It is not necessary to hearanything more trotn the counsel for the defend. ant," said Judge McKennan, in sus tainiiug the deanetrer. "Illis (the plalitill's) business here is not entitled to any protection whatever. It i. not only unlawful, but it is worse. It is an infamous crime. Is it possible that a business stigmatized by the law of Pennsylvania cannot be so character ized here by the editor of a newspaper or any other citizen, notwithstanding the fact that the business may be law fil in Louisiana? Is it possible that the citizens of Penisylvania may not express their approval of the laws of Penn sv lvania? It seemgs extraordina ry, after Congress has said that a man who conducts such a business as the one now in question ought to go to the penitentiary, that a citizen dare not express his opinion or approval of a law 'on the books. We will say that a man is not amenable to the laws of Pennsylvania for characterizing this business as a robbery." Editorially the Times remarked the next day, in referring to the case: "Max Dauphin, the defeated plaintiif in the $100,000 libel suit against the Times, has fared well by escaping with the costs and trouble of his suit. The laws of Pennsylvania, as well as the laws of the United States, declare him and his business to be lawless, and the judgment of' the Pennsylvania law wvould niot only line haim, but also dress him in.prison garb iad pult him b)ehind prisoni bars for l)ursuing the calling that lhe asks the Times to pay for measurably destroying.

Call soon, Max !" Putting the President to the Test. ThPle Granat r'etiremlent bill1 has beeii generally (discussed by nimmbers of the House, and it was dleveloped1 that the Edmunds bill wvould hatve stronig oppo sition because of the fact that it names iio one, but gives the President the power to appoiiit any one. The truth is, the Decmocr'atic leaders, many of them, are not dlisp)osed to let the Presi dent down so easily as the Edmnunds bill1, does5 from his positioni on thme Fitz John Porter bill. They aire dheter' mined0( that if a bill is to be passed at all it shall1 be ono~ with Grant's namie on it. Then the President wvill citheri be compelled to0 veto the bill, to be0 :onisistenlt wvith the Porter veto, or wvill have to bauck squarely own from his position on that measure. If lie adopts the hatter' alternative a Grant r'etirement bill wvill be initr'oduced1 and passed b)y the For'ty-Ninthm Congress, along with a bill rest.or'ing Fitz, John Porter to rank and paiy, and both will get Mr. Cleveland's signature. SQme of the leading D)emocrats will thDrue fore ur'ge that the first retiremnent bill in which Gr'ant Is named shall be p)assed1 on the first suspenisioni of the rules (lay, wvhich is the first Monday of F'ebruary, and thus put Presidet Arthur to the test.

AUsrIN, TEXAs, January 22.-Gov. ernor Ireland in his inaugural address uses the following language: "Since ny late message tothe two housep was penned knowledge has reached me of the perpetration of a series of horrible crimes, murders and thefts on Texas soil by incursions of predatory bands from Mexico. "Since it has become known that neither Mexico nor the United States will surrender one of their own citi zens to be taken to the other Govorn ment to be tried for crime, the people on the right bank of the Rio Grande have grown emboldened, and they stand on Mexican soil covered with the blood of our women and children, and their booty in sight of our people. "I have made repeated efforts through the Secretary of State to induce the discussion of the propriety of so amend. ing the treaty of 1861 as to permit any one, no matter where his allegiance may be, to be extradited, but no re sults have followed. Commercial treaties and money affairs seem to be of more importance than the blood of our people. "In the last few days I have written to the President giving him full ac counts of the condition of affairs on the Rio Grande and have also Informed him that Texas can, if need be, pro tect herself, and minute companies and State troops on that border have been directed to protect our people without deferei'ce to nico points of Interna tional law. "If the Federal troogs, whose duty It Is under the Constitution, are too tender to patrol the border, or a few companies in the interior to make a show at dress parades are of mre importance, it would seem that their presence on our soil is of little practi cal use.

Warren, Pa&' DYNAMITE IN ENGLAND. Atteampti to Destrey the Paritament build fons and the White Tower in London. LoNDON, January 24-2.10 P. M. The Houses of Parliament and Gov ernmenit ofilees were severely shaken and considerable damage done by dynamite explosions. It is impossible at this moment to tell the extent ,f the calamity. The report of the explosionl was heard in Downing street. Cireat excitement prevails, and enormous crowds are assembling at the sceno of the explosion. The origin of the explosion is wrap ped in profound mystery, but it is be lieved to have been caused by dyna mite. 4 P. M.-The explosion occurred close to the louse of Lords, near Westminster Hall. It is reported that the explosive was placed in the crypt under the building. One policeman was fatally hurt. The force of the shock was tremendous and was felt at a great distance, and the damage done was very great. e Another explosion occurred at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the London Tower. The excitement increases with every moment and the city is filled with flying rumors. There were two explosions instead of one as at first supposed at he Parliament Houses. T he second eJne about three minutes after the first. One was near the House of Comnions, the other at Westminster Hall. One man has been arrested near the scene of the explo sion. The explosions caused quite a panic among the visitors who were in the buildings at the time. Those whq were in the House of Commons fled precipitately, and many of the ladies were bruised in the crush. 'The second explosion in the Parliament buildings occurred three minutes later than the first, and was far more destructive. The dynamite which caused the second explosion must have been placed under the Peer's gallery on the left side. The fact that an unusual number of ladies visited the Parliament buildings to-day has given rise to the suspicion that the miscreants who 1erCetratcd the outrages were either women or men in women's disguise. It is now admitted by the attendants about the buildings that parcels were carried by many of the women, and that they seemed to bestow unusual care in guarding them. It was at first thought that the Crown jewels and rogalia, kept ii the Tower we destroyed, but they aro now found to be safe. The Government will use strong measures to capture and punish the dyiiamiters. (The news from London has caused a profound sensation in every quarter of the world it has -reached.
