THE BIGHT TO EfSTKUCT.
Direct Responsibility of the Represen?
tative; to His Constltu?acy?Interesting
Letter from Jefferson Davis.
From Ike Jackson (Miss.) Clarion .
We are gratified to have the opportu?
nity to publish the following letter, writ?
ten by Hon. Jefferson Davis in reply ^ to
inquiries designed to elicit his opinion
upon a subject of vital importance:
Beatjvoie Post Office,
Habrisox Co., Miss., Dec. 14,1878.
Jly Dear Sir: I this day received
yours of the 12th in3t., asking for my
opinion as to the right of the Legisla
ture'of a State to instruct her Senators
in Congress.
Personally a disinterested observer, I
stand upon the political river, earnestly
watching, whatever it may_ bear, but
without any purpose ever again to launch
my bark upon it. My opinions, howev?
er) npon any subject which interest Miss?
issippi, are, as they. always will be, at
the service of my friends who may de?
sire to have them.
The government of the.United States is
essentially representative, the neeessary
consequence of the admitted sovereignty
of the people, and the individuality ofthe
representative to his constituency would
' be to attack the foundation of our polit
eal system. The two houses of Congress
represent, the one the people the other
the States themselves. If the people of
a Congressional district were to assemble
in mass, and instruct their representa?
tives upon any particular question, who
will gainsay their right to do so, cr his
duty to obey?
In tho compact of the Union it was
provided that the representatives of the
States, their Senators, should be chosen
by their respective Legislatures'. Those
Legislatures do, in . that connection, ex?
press the voice of the State, and the
Senator who accepts bis election by the
Legislature, as such expression of the
State would ?eem >to be estopped from
contending at any future time that the
!:'.ture was not the proper channel
through which tho State should speak to
him.
It has beon the practice of the Democ?
racy either to obey instructions or to
resign the office held from the people
so that their constitueuts migbt.if they
bo desired, select some one else who would
more truly represent them. Nor has this
been entirely confined to the Democ?
racy. The statesman who has been
called the expounder ofthe constitution,
when the wild waves of abolitionism were
beating against the bulwarks of the
constitution, and threatening its sub?
version, in view of the prospects of re?
ceiving instructions which he could not
conscientiously obey, said he hoped the
event rright not arise, and clearly indi?
cated, t1 tough he did not express it, that
in such a contingency he would vacate
seat he could not consistently retain.
In the democracy of Greece tho peo?
ple assembled in mass to discuss and to
legislate. In the republic of Borne the
government was one of orders, the patri?
cians and the people having conflii cting
powers. In neither of these could rep?
resentations such as ours have been the
foundation of government. Therefore
wo had to be a law unto our:elves.
Whereas all other modern republics were
" ased upon pre-existing feudal system;
re had no compromises to make with
abuses and with privileged' classes, but
ere offered a clear sheet, on which the
of human liberty and the su
jremacy of law might be written.
The people of each independent Stale,
esessmg sovereign power, organized
ch for itself a government of their own,
d by the compact of union, delegated
the general government such powers
d fucntions as they were willing to
confide to it
In the State governments as well as in
that of the United States, power was
attended by a correlative responsibility
of those who from either received author
ty and trust. It was a wise organism
when it was adopted; more wise, per?
haps, than the builders knew; for our
experience has taught us that corruption,
which works in darkness and unseen,
ay undermine the fabric which could
at direct and external blows. We
re been, by the Divine Maker, taught
e danger of being led into temptation.
In the growth of wealth and luxury,
e have seen arise, as the consequence,
ncreascd extravagance, waitiog on the
lecessities of which was an army of ]
obhyists, the agents of powerful corpor
ions, special interests, and of the
oneyed power. Against the influence
of these it were safer to trust the body
of the people who were beyond tho reach
" of temptation, than the few who are
immediately exposed to iL
In opposition to the right of the con?
stituency to instruct, I know of no argu?
ment which deserves notice, unless it be
that whfch denies to the people .he re
"?' quiisite amount of intelligence. If that
be true, the corner-stone of our temple
is crashed, and it were vain to attempt
to prop the superstructure. But is it
j? true? I hope not, I think not and repel
tho assumption of uny man that he has
moro wisdom than the aggregate of his
neighbors.
So, sir, I end as I began with the ex?
pression of the belief that the cocxist
? ence of liberty and power require the
direct responsibility of the represent:!.
. tive to his constituency. This is the
jj characteristic and especial merit of our
political system, State and Federal.
In conclusion, let me express the con
? viction that unless this be maintained,
and the virtue aud intelligence of the
Eeople keep pace with the demand for
otn in the exercise of the high power
they possess, we must look forward to
corruption among officials, and anarchy,
to be followed by despostism. Very
truly, your friend,
Jeffebsok Davis.
? Washington special to the New York
Herald: "There are some circumstances
connected with the recent change of the
death penalty to imprisonment fo r lifo in
the case of Blasius Pistorius by Governor
Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, which show
how carefully the German government
looks after the rights of its people even
. when, as in this case, they are of a reli?
gions faith to which the German rulers
? are hostile: Pistorious was a German
Catholic priest up to 1875. He bad been
for some time chaplain at Tholey, in the
dioceso of Trier. In that year he was, on
. his own application, as documents show,
' allowed to resign his place to come to the
United States, where he went to live
with bis brother, a farmer near Norris
town, Pa. It was here that taking part in
some disputes between his brother?a
quarrelsome man?and the neighbors,
Blasius fired the shot which killed a mau.
He was arrested, and fearing that be
?would not get a fair trial by reason of his
poverty and the prejudice against him,
he wrote to Mr. Von Schlazer, the .Ger?
man Minister here, asking assistarce. On
the Minister's information the German
; government at once authorized him to
employ counsel at its cost, and this was
accordingly done, Mr. Stepben Bemak,
of Philadelphia, being retained by Mr.
' Von Shclazer. Pistorius was condemned
to death on his first trial, got a new trial
on the ground of insanity, was again
condemned, but his case was brought be?
fore the Court of Pardons by his counsel,
and on evidence that he was of unsound
mind, the Court changed the sentence to
I mprisonment for life. It is remarkable
that, while waging a political war against
the Catholic Church at home,_the Ger?
man government has so energetically and
persistently and at considerable expense
: defended the life of this poor Catholic
priest, about whose infirmity <>f mind j
there seems to be no doubt."

A born leader of men is he whose
name heads this article. A statesman in
the strictest sense of that much-abused
word, .be has by his broad and liberal
views of national policy been a tower of
strength to his people during the dang?
erous and eventful years which have
marked the greatest political and social
upheaval through which any nation has
ever passed, and the hiography of Sen?
ator Lamar will in the years to come be
the history of the character and intelli
fence of the South in its struggle with a
old and unscrupulous political party,
which has had for its watchword xa victis.
In 1857 Senator Lamar made his first ap?
pearance in the national balls of legisla?
tion as a representative to the Thirty
fifth Congress, and was re-elected to the
Thirty-sixth Congress?taking from the
start a prominent position in the delib?
erations of-that body. In full sympa?
thy with his people, and educated in the
strictest school of States' rights, he with?
drew in 1860 to take a seat in the seces?
sion convention of his State, aud through?
out the struggle which ensued he bore a
conspicuous part in the field of action
and forum of debate. Trained to the
law, he was in 1867 made Professor of
Law in the University of Mississippi,
having previously filled the chair of Po?
litical Economy in that institution. But
his responsible and hazardous duties
were yet to come. In 1872 the people
whom he had served so well again called
him to a seat in the councils of the na?
tion, as a member of the Forty-third
Congress, and re-elected him in 1874-to
the hourly-fourth Congress. 'It was a
delicate aud responsible task/to which he
was assigned in stepping again into the
political arena to still the troubled ele?
ments, and to restore to the people of
the whole country that spirit of amity
and concord so essential to their future
happiness and prosperity. Suffering no
taunt or jeer to force from his lips an in?
cautious or hasty word to feed the dying
embers of sectional hate, he maintained
at all times a calm and dignified demean?
or, meeting the attacks of the opposition
in a broad lofty spirit of true statesman?
ship, which commanded their respect,
ana gave assurance to his friends that he
was the man for the occasion. The peo?
ple of Mississippi, never slow to recog?
nize and reward ability in public men,
elected him in 1876 to the Senate of the
United States, of which body he has been
one of the most conspicuous and admit?
tedly able members; and now that the
minority of which he has ofttimes been
the "forlorn hope" in many a hotly-cou
tested fight, is about to spring into the
majority, he will doubtless be found
among the foremost of that majority iu
advocacy of such measures as will best
tend to promote the true interests of the
people of the entire country. "Firm iu
bis convictions of right and of duty, he
will yield to nc pressure that may be ex?
ercised to 'drive him from a position
which he has once taken. This was very
forcibly demonstrated in his action on
j the silver bill at the last session of Con
I gress. The Legislature of Mississippi
? instructed him lo give his support to that
measure; and with the people of the en?
tire State it was very popular, but Sen?
ator Lamar believed it to be his duty to
oppose the bill, after a long struggle be?
tween respect and affection for his peo?
ple and a settled sense of duty, he made a
powerful argument in opposition to re
monetizatiou, and voted accordingly.?
This is true courage, and the maa who,
in the face of such opposition dares do
what he honestly believes to be right,
may safely be trusted as a national legis?
lator.
TUE FRENCH CRISIS.
3&cMahon Bestens and M. Grevey Is Elec?
ted President.
Paris, January 29.
After tho conference between MacMa
hon and Dufaure to-day, a cabinet coun?
cil was held at noon, and another this
afternoon, when the President of the
[ Senate and the President of the Cham?
ber of Deputies were present. Rumors
of the imminent resignation of the mar?
shal and the assembling of the chambers
in congress obtained general credence.
It is believed that the chambers would
elect M. Grevey or M. Dufaure President
of the Kepublic.
London, January 29.
A dispatch to the Standard, dated at
Paris at midnight, says that MacMahon
has informed Dufaure that ho will com?
municate his decision to him at Ver?
sailles at one o'clock Thursday evening.
It is understood there will be a message
to both houses. A few persons fear that
the President may avail himself of his
constitutional right to form an extra
parliamentary ministry and prorogue the
chambers for two months, but this is very
improbable.
Everything indicates that MacMahon
wiU resign. It may be considered that
ihe has already morally done so. The
I probable course of events is as follows:
To-day the government will formally an
I nounce the situation of tho chambers,
I and report the President's refusal to sign
the decrees respecting the great military
commands. The senate and chamber of
deputies will pass votes of. confidence in
the ministry, who will thus be obliged to
press their demands on MacMahon for
the changes in the staff of Generals. A
joint congress of the senate and chamber
of deputies will afterwards bo summoned
to nominate a new President. It is pos?
sible that congress will not meet till Fri?
day. In the interval between MacMa
hou's resignation and the election of a
new President the council of ministers
will be invested with executive power in
accordance with the constitution. Much
excitement prevails in Paris, but there
has been no disturbance. Some politi?
cians think MacMahon's resignation
would be an excellent thing because the
President should not be allowed to per?
petuate an ambiguous situation, and a
crisis anyhow was invitable. Others
prefer to see MacMahon remain till the
expiration of his legal term. Specula?
tion is rife respecting his successor. Du?
faure is too old; Duke d'Aumule and
General Chausey have lost chances they
formerly possessed. The only candidates
mentioned are Admiral Pothan and M.
Grevy, with chances favoring the latter.
A Reuter's Paris dispatch says it is pos?
sible the explanation to the chambers to?
morrow will take the form of a Presiden?
tial message. M. Grevy's chances for
the Presidency have improved, Dufaure
having declined to become a candidate.
A dispatch to the Tunes, from Paris,
states that the police and military au?
thorities have taken some formal pre?
cautions.
The Republique Francaise, Gambetta's
organ, says: "Those who use the threat
ot President MacMahon's resignation as
a scarecrow are mistaken. France does
not desire, but does fear, a change in the
bead of the government. What Franco
will not have is unconstitutional resist?
ance to the will of the nation."
Paris, January 80.
Marshal MacMahon has resigned the
Presidency of the Republic. A congress
has been convoked for 6 o'clock this
evening. The election of M. Grevy to
the Presidency appears to be certain, all
the groups of the Left being in accord on
this point.
Versailles, Jan. 30?i p. m.
MacMahon's letter of resignation says
that being in disagreement with the min?
istry, being hopeless of forming another
Cabinet, and unwilling to absent to meas?
ures which he regards contrary to good
army organization, he withdraws from
power. At a meeting of the bureaux of
the Left, Gnmbetta proposed Crcvy for
President of the Republic, which was
unanimously approved. Marshal Mac?
Mahon asked the ministers to counter?
sign his letter of resignation, but they
?refused, declaring the letter a merely
personal act.
Paris, Jan. 80?4 p. m.
The present ministers will resign and
a new Parliamentary Cabinet will be
constituted. It is reported that Gam
. betta will take the premiership and the
foreign portfolio. The concourse of the
general public at Versailles is not very
great. The excitement does not com?
pare with that of May 24, 1873, when
Thiers resigned. There is no disturb?
ance anywhere.
Versailles, Jan. 30?4. p. m.
Some groups of the Eight, including
the Bonapartists, will support M. Grevy,
whose election will be nearly uuanimous.
The Legitimists will probably abstain.
M. Martel, President of the Senate, will
preside over the congress^ MM. Gam
betta and Marcere have been to congrat?
ulate M. Grevy. It is understood the
ministry will move that the Chambers,
after the election, adjourn for a week, to
allow time to settle pending questions.
It is the general opinion of the Deputies
of the Left that the present Cabinet
should remain in office. Gambetta ex?
pressed this opinion very decidedly to?
day, but it is reported Dufaure an?
nounced his intention of retiring to pri?
vate life.
4.30 p. m.?On the assembly of the
Chamber of Deputies, Grevy read a letter
from MacMahon announcing his resig?
nation, amidst profound silence. He
then read the articles of the constitution
applicable to the situation, and an?
nounced that the two Chambers would
meet in congress at 4.30 p. m. The sit?
ting was then suspended.

? John Norn's, who died at Peters?
burg, Va., a few days ago, is said to have
been the last surviver of tho famous
naval engagement fought by Commodore
Perry on Lake Erie, nearly 66 years
since. He was a volunteer in the caval?
ry commanded by Col. Richard M.
Johnson?the man who did not kill
Tecumseh?and was with the force of
Gen. Harrison at Camp Seneca, on the
Sandusky River, when Perry asked for
volunteers for his ships. Norris, who
was the first of 20 to answer the ?all
served on board the Caledonia, which
captured the British brig Hunter, after a
fierce contest. Several years ago an ef?
fort to gather all the survivors of Perry's
victory at Put-in-Bay resulted in the dis?
covery of only four. Soon after three of
them died, and the death of Norris re?
moves tho hist survivor.
? Miss Lee, daughter of the late Gen.
Robert E. Lee, is said to be an energetic
traveller. She was not long ago enter?
tained by Lord and Lady Napier, at
Gibraltar, and a few weeks before was
within the Russian lines in Turkey.
? It is estimated that of the 60,000
students in the colleges of the United
States, only 25,000 are professing Chris?

even nominally in any kind of active
Christian work.
.? The Governor of Kansas urges the
legislature, of that State to equip a force
of militia far defense against hostile In?
diana. \ ^
Killed by a Meteor.?On Thursday
night last, Leonidas Grover, who resides
in the vicinity of Newtown County,
I met his death in a way that is probable
without parellel in this or any other
country. Mr. Grover was a widower,
living on his farm with a married daugh?
ter and her husband. On the evening
refered to the married couple had been
absent on a visit to some neighbor and
upon returning at a late hour entered
the house, finding every thing, to oil
appearance, in usual order, and suppos?
ing that Mr. Grover had already retired
went to bed themselves. Next morning
the daughter arose, and having prepared
breakfast went to the adjoining room
to call her father, and was horrified to
find him lying upon his shattered bed,
a mutilated corpse.
Her screams brought the husband
Suickly to the bedroom, and an inspection
isclosed a ragged opening in the roof,
directly over the breast of the unfortu?
nate man which was torn through as if
by a cannon shot, and extending
downward through the bedding and floor;
other holes showed the direction taken
by the deadly missile. Subsequent
search revealed the fact that the awful
calamity was cansed by the fall of a
metheric stone and the stone itself, pyr?
amidal in shape and weighing twenty
pounds and a few ounces, avoirdupois,
and stained with blood, was unearthed
from a depth of nearly five feet, thus
showing the fearful impetus with which it
struck the dwelling. The position of the
corpse, with other surroundings, when
found, showed that the victim was asleep
when stricken and that death to him was
painless._
A New Postage Stamp.?The Post
Office Department has ordered a new
postage stamp to be used on letters not
prepaid. Heretofore a letter being post?
ed and wanting a stamp has been held in
the office at which it was mailed. The
postmaster at this office then writes
to the individual addressed, saying than
such a letter has been held in that office
for him, the postage not having been
prepaid. The new stamp which has just
been ordered under' the new regulation
is put or the letters not prepaid and
sent the postmaster at the office of its
destination, who is charged with the
amount due, and to collect the same from
the person addressed on delivering the
letter. A new stamp has also been or?
dered to be put on the letter after it
passes into the hands of the carrier, who
then becomes responsible for the collec?
tion of the postage. This new stamp is
intended as a check upon the carrier,
who is thereby prevented from pocket?
ing bis collections. The new system
acts somewhat similar to the bell-punch
of the street car cond uctors.?Boston Her?

THE GENUINE
DR. C. McLANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
dyspepsia and sick headache.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres?
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe?
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen?
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem?
ory, accompanied with a painful sen?
sation of having left undone some?
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa?
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer?
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex?
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the liver to
have been extensively deranged
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
?the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
/.'/- BEWARE CP IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the lid,
with the impression Da. McLane's Liver
Pills.
The genuine McLane's Liver Pills bear
the signatures of C. McLane aud Fleming
Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C.
McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Flem?
ing Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being
full of imitations of the name McLane,
spelled differently but same pronunciation.
This important organ weighs hut about threo
pouad.1, aud all the hlood in a living person (about
three gallons) passes through it at least once every
half hour, to have the bile and other impurities
strained or filtered from it. Bile is the natural
purgative of the bowcts, and if the I.iv.-r becomes
torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car?
ried through the veins to all pans of the system,
and in trying to escape through the pores of the
skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown
color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dys?
pepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bili?
ousness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles,
Sick and Sour Stomach, and general debility fol?
low. Mbrksll's Hepatinr, the great vegetablo
discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw
off from one to two ounces of bile each time the
blood passes through it, as long as there is an ex?
cess of bile; and the effect of even a few doses
upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking;
?.kin, will astonish all who try it?they being the
first symptoms to disappear. The cure of all bili?
ous diseases and Liver complaint is made certain
by taking Hbpatinb in accordance with directions.
Headache is generally cured in twenty minutes,
and no disease that anses from the Liver can exist
if a fair trial is given.

and finally consumption. From first to last it is ever ag?

THE NEW VOP.lv SUN FOR 1878.
The Sex will bo printed every day daring the
year to come. Its purpose and method will be the
same as in the past: To present all the newt la a
readable shape, and to tell the trutii though the
heavens fall.
Tut Sun has been, Is, and will continue to be In?
dependent of everybody and everything save the
Truth and Its own convictions of duty. That la
the only policy which an honest newspaper need
ve. That Is the policy which has won for this
newspaper tho confidence and friendship of a
wider constituency than was aver enjoyed by any
other American journal.
The SUM is the newspaper of tho people. It 1*
not for the rich man against the poor man, or for
the poor man against the rich man, but it seeks a*
do equal justice to all interests in the community.
It is not the orgau of any person, class, seet, or
party. There need be no mystery about its loves
aud hales. It is for tho honest msn against she
rogues every time. It Is for the honest Democrat
as against the dishonest Republican, and for she
honest Republican u against the dishonest Dem?
ocrat. It (loos not take its cue from the uttcrauase
of any politician or political organisation. It
gives its support unreservedly when men er
measures aro iu agreement with the Constitution
and with the principles upon which this republis
was founded for the people. Whenever the Con?
stitution aud constitutional principles are violated
?as In the outrageous conspiracy of 1876. by which
nan nut elected was placed in the President's
office, where he still remains?it speaks out for the.
right. That is Tint Sex's idea of independence. S
Iu this respect there will be no change in its pre
I gramme for i371?.
The Sun has thlrly earned the hearty hatred ef
rascals, frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and sires.
It hopes to deserve that hatred Dot less in the v?ar
1870 than in 1878, 1877, or any year gone by. iam
Sux is printed for the men ana women of to-day,
whose concern is chioflv with tho affairs of to-day.
It has both the disposition and the ability to afford
|U readers the promptest, fullest and most accurate
intelligence of whatever in the wide world to worth
attention. To this end the resources belonging to
well-established prosperity will be liberally em
loycd.
The present disjointed condition of parties ia
this country, and the uncertainty of the future,
lend an extraoidinary significance to tho event*of
the coming year. To present with accuracy and
cleuriK ill tbe exact situation in each of its varying
pbxscs.aLd to cxpouud, according to its well-knowa
methods, the principles that should guide a*
through the labyrinth, will he an Important part
of the Tin: Sun's work for 1679.
We have the means of making The Suk, a* a
pilii leal, a literary, and a general newspaper, more
entertaining and more useful than ever before;
aud we mean to apply them freely.
mir rates of subscription remain unchanged.
