Charleston : Printed by Joseph Walker, Agent, corner Meeting and Market streets. 18G7. This book, of over 300 pages, is by far the finest piece of typographical mechanism wo have Been issued in this city, aud reflects much credit on the gentleman whose imprimatur it hears. The arrangement, selection of types for head Unes, etc., is very tasteful ; type, ink and paper, all of the best ; tho binding also a master-piece of its kind. The book consists of the one formerly used by this congregation, with some additions, taken chiefly from the new collection of Services recently put forth by a number of the leading Unitarian Ministers of England. "The only important alteration," bays the Preface, "other than this, is in the directions as to posture during worship. It has been thought advisable to recommend kneel? ing during prayer, as more devotional than stand? ing ; and standing during praise, as more suitable and natural than sitting." - * THE CHRISTIAN HYMNAL,-Hymns with Tunes for the Services of the Church, compiled and edited by Bev. Frank Sewall. Philadelphia : J. B. Lippincott A Co., 1867. Charleston ; J. M. Greer. This is a very neat collection of hymns and tunes; which should find a placo in every i hnstian household. Tho hymns are divided into two parts, the first comprising those on the Incar? nation and Redemption, arranged in the order of the Gospel Narrative, or the Christian year; the second containing General and Occasional Hymns, arranged occording to their topics. The materials of this volume, says tho editor in the preface, have been collected from the wide range of English, German and Latin sacred poetry and harmony, both old and new. To a number of hymns of genuine excellence, endeared and fa? miliar to us from long usage, and wedded to iheir quaint but pleasant old melodies, the compiler bas added many beautiful modern English jymns and tunes, together with a good number of celebrated German hymns, in most cases translated in th. J ir original metres, and set to their proper chm als. Versions of a number of the old Latin Hymns, the favorites of many ages, have also been introduced, and these, with the German translations and chorals, are, it is behoved, now for the first time made accessible to singers of sacred music in this country. A number of the translations and hymns aro original, and have never before been pub? lished. Among the Latin hymns we regret to miss the Lies Iroa^? Btabat Maier, but are thankful for others orequal excellence, and but little less re? nown, as THOMAS AQUINAS' Pangc lingua gloriosi, BKENAKD DB CLUNY'8 Salve Caput cruentalum. This collection is for purposes of devotion only, not for the gratification of the scholar. There is an almost entire absence of historical or explana? tory notes of any kind ; such os we have in the rich collection of Archbishop TRENCH'S Early Latin Hymns, and in many other works on hymnology. The collection from the best German hymns is well made. Here also we of course miss some we should have been pleased to have had, but. Mr. SEWALL has presented us with excellent transla? tions of a number of hymns, approved and widely sung-by the entire German Church.' Among thom LTJTHEB'8 "Eine feste Burg ist unBer Gott;" PAUL GERHARDT'S "Befiehl du deine Wege," translated by ^OHN WESLEV ; ANGELUS' "Guter Hirto willst du nicht," and GERHARDT'S rendering of "Salve cuput cruentatum"-"0 Haupt voll Blut und Wunden." This book, as we have already said, is a decided acquisition for every refined and educated Chris? tian family in the land. PLUTARCH on the Belay of the Daity in Punishing the Wicked. Revised edition, with Notes by Professors H. B. Hacket and W. S. Tyler. New York : D. Ap - pleton tc Co.,'1867 ; Charleston, John Russell. - This treatise of the old philosopher who was " almost a Christian,'!;.- (as the learned WYTTEH BAOH speaks of him,) is expected to be specially useful to theological students, as a means of keep? ing up their knowledge of the Greek language, and making still further progress in it._; This treatise of PLUTARCH haB been selected, because it bears on a question that must have been of all the most perplexing to. the thoughtful heathen ; viz : how the impurity, and nocunfrequently the signal pros? perity of the wicked, can be reconciled with the doctrine of a just Providence ; or, in other words, with thc belief of a Deity who observes the right and the wrong of human actions, and governs a world according to the principles of a righteous moral retribution. The text used is in the main WYTTENBACH'S. An elaborate treatise on the "Structure and Argu? ment of the World," precedes the critical and philological notes ; and the question " Had PLU? TARCH any knowledge of Christianity ?" is answer? ed in-the negativo in an Appendix. The typography of the work is excellent, as dif? ferent os can be, from the medieval Greek books. BERLIN AND S ANS-Souci; OR FREDERICK THE GREAT AND HTS FRIENDS.-An H etorical Romance, by L. Muhlbach. New York : D. Appleton & Co. Charleston: John Bus soil. This is the sequel'to a story by the same author? ess published in this country about a year ago, un? der the narnu of Frederick and his Court. Of course FREDERICE is still the great central figure, round which the other characters are grouped, as suited the purpose of the authoress,-as they promised to contribute more or less to the dra? matic interest of the work. The chapter relating to VOLTAIRE, and his cor? respondence and personal intercourse with the King, is perhaps the most interesting port of the volume. ; Their* first meeting is thus sketched by the authoress : - The. King awaited Voltaire with impatience, and j now he heard tbe rolling of carriage wheels, then the opening of doors, then the sound of voices. In the first impulse of joy ho sprang from his feet and advanced eagerly to meet Voltaire, but reach? ing the threshold of the door he stood still and considered. xtNo," said he, "I will not go to meet him-he would mock at me, perhaps boast of it." He turned back to his chair, and took up the book he had been reading. And now some one tapped gently upon the door, a servant appeared and announced "Monsieur Voltaire,'1 and now a ligure stood upon the door sill. This man, with small, contracted chest, with a back bowed down by old age or infirmities; this man, with the wondrous countenance, of which no one could decide if it was the face of a satyr or a demigod; whose eyes flashed with heavenly in? spiration at one moment, and in the next glowed with demoniac fire: whose hps were distorted by the most frightful grimaces or relaxed into the most enchanting smiles-this man is Voltaire. As Frederick's glance met those burning eyes, he forgot all else, his royalty, his dignity, evon Voltaire's baseness and vanity; he was to him tho spirit of the age, the genius of the world, and he hastened to meet him, opened his arms wide, and pressed him tenderly io his heart. "Welcome, welcome, my lord and master," said the King; "I Teceivo you, as becomes a pupil, in my school? room, surrounded by my books, whose mysterious lessons of wisdom, you, my teacher, will make clear." "On tho contrary, sire," said Voltaire, with a soft voice and a most enchanting smile-"on the contrary, you receive mo with all the pomp of royalty seated upon a throne, which is not yours by inheritance, but which you have conquered; upon the throne of knowledge and learning, crowned with the laurels which tho gods conse? crate to heroes and poets. Alas! my eyes are dazzled by the lustre which surrounds me. I bow in humility before this lordly head adorned by two royal crowns and reigning over two mighty "king? doms. Receive me. sire, us au ambassador from tho realm of poets , .whose crown you wear with so much grace and dignity." Frederick smiled kindly. '-Let me be onlv a burgher and your comrade-in-arms in the republic of letters,'' said he. "I hold republics generally as impossibilities, but I behove in a republic of let? ters, and I have a right republican heart, striving after liberty, equality, and brotherly love. Ro uiember this, friend, and let us forget at Sans? souci that your comrade is sometimes the first servant of a Kingdom. And now, tell me how you huvo borne the iatigues of tho journey, and if you havo been received at every station with the mark? ed attention I had commanded." .'Yes, she, everywhere in Prussia I have felt myself almost oppressed, humbled, by youl' great? ness. How great, how mighty, how powerful, must your majesty be, when I am so dist'nguished, so honored, simply because I enjoy your favor 1 This honor and this pleasure alone have given me strength for my journey. My friends ?D Paris thought it absurd and ridiculous for mo, in my mis?rable condition, to attempt so fatiguing ? journey. But, sire, I was not willing to die before I had once more sat at tho feet of this great and yet simple mau, this exalted yet genial philoso? pher. I wish to revive and quicken my sick heart at this lountain of wit and wisdom. I come, therefore, not as Voltaire, but as the tragic Scar ron of your century, and throughout mv whole jouvnev .1 have called myself tho 'Invalid of thc King of Prussia.' " And plenty more in the same strain, each of the two interlocutors doubtloss thinking all the while that he was bamboozling thc other. We havo in a previous review spoken of thc gen? eral character of the works of Mrs. CLARA MUNDT. This is of the samo interest, pleasing the reader all the more, because he is flattering himself while reading it, that he is ongaged in tho very laudable pursuit of acquiring hiptorical'knowledge. And, inasmuch os these novels treat of a historical pc nod, which would otherwise remain a sealed book to the great majority of American readers, we are perfectly willing to repress any lingering doubts we may have, as to the propriety of thiB very pleas? ant, but not otherwise altogether unobjectionable mode of pursuing historical researches. MOSBY BSD HIS MEN ; A Record of the Adventures cf that reuowned Partisan Ranger, John 8. MOBDV (Colo? nel C. S. A.), including the exploits of Smith, Chap? man, Richards, Monrjoy, Turner, Russell, Glasscock, and tho men under them. By J. Marshall Crawford, of Company B. New York : G. W. Carleton & Co. Charleston : John BusseU. This ?B essentially a Virginia book. The heroes, whose exploits aro here celebrated, are nearly all Virghtians, and their sphere of action was almost exclusively con tined to a few counties on the South? ern slope of the Blue Ridge, in Virginia. There are likenesses in the book of all tho more distin? guished officers and scouts connected withMosBV's commsnd; but we do not think the work will have much of a circulation beyond the borders of the Old Dominion. THE SHENANDOAH ; OB THE LAST CONFDEBATE CROISER, by Cornelius E. Hunt, (one of ber officers). New York: G. W. Carleton & Co. Charleston: John Bussell. Instead of reading this book, and writing a re? view, we prefer to copy a notice of it from the last number of tho Round Table, whioh we have no reason to consider other than just : The age is rich in puerile books, and the public haB grown very lenient, but this is even below the poorest endurable standard of weakness and folly. A mere transcript of the log of the Shenandoah might have historical value and servo a possible future US'" ; but tho ' 'heavy lightness" and "seri-, ons vanity1'of an attempt like Mr. Hunt's are fit for nothing but the paper makers. There has got to be so preposterous a deluge of sketches and personal "travels," "reminiscences," and the like, and readers havo accepted them so tolerantly, that it really seems to bo forgotten that, before rushing into print, there is some propriety in learning how to write English. A sailor may be pardoned, perhaps, for not being a Utcrary purist, and we might forgive occasional inelegances if they were redeemed by vigorous style and interesting inci? dent. But the la* ter essentials are precisely those in which Mr. Hunt's book ?B conspicuously deficient. Tho few striking passages which befell the Soaking, alias the Shenandoah, the author, with uniform address, contrives to make dull and commonplace in the narration; while the staple of the cruise, devoted as it chiefly was to destroying blubbery, but otherwise inoffensive, old whalers, can only be read with a mixture of ennui and indignation which is anything but agree? able. The attacks, too, upon Captain Waddell, whether justified by facts or not, nave a sinister look, for we do not like to find a man assailing his superior officer, whatever the cause, when the lat? ter is placed by circumstances in a defenceless po? sition, and the hearing of his case is thus ren? dered au altogether ex parle ono. Tho book is substantially trivial, school-boyish, and, woree than all for this kind of book, surprisingly dull; and the dash of malevolence which, like the sting of Martial's epigrams, winds up the tale, leaves an impression as unfavorable to the author's gener? osity as the impression previously made is unfa? vorable to his taste, culture, and literary capacity. Trash of this sort, whether written by Northerners or Southerners, has been dealt with far too light? ly, and it is high time a little truth were spoken of it, if only to warn publishers to be chary of the credit of their imprint, and to have some little re? spect for the patience, as woll as the intelligence of their readers. THE MILITARY REC OX STP RUCTION BILL,. THE MISSISSIPPI PETITION-ARGUMENT IN THE CASE. The following extracts contain the points made in the argument in support of the petition of the State of Mississippi, enjoining the execution of the Military Reconstruction Bill, which was offer? ed in the Supreme Court of the United States on Friday list. The great length of this argument precludes our publishing it in full. . It will bs de? livered before the Court on Friday next. After stating the terms of the act, the argument says : The fh>r question is, do the acts of Congress be? fore referred to violate the Federal Cjnstitution ? Such was the opinion of the President of the Unit? ed States, as expressed in his veto messages, and we shall but stato tho supposed points of conflict without entended argument. The acts in question violate the compact with Georgia of 1802, the ordi? nance of 1787, mado under tho compact with Vir? ginia, both of which compacts were extended to Mississippi, and made "unalterable" and "final aud conclusive" by Congress and so accepted by the State. These acts annihilate a State; they de? stroy the State Constitution of Mississippi pf 1817, accepted by Congress, as well as the amend? ed State Constitution of 1865, established by the people. If Ibero 'was any fatal irregularity in the Stato constitution of 1865, which is denied, that would not territorialize tho tstat-u or abolish the State constitution of 1817. Theso acts deprive the State of that representation in the two Houses of Con? gress constantly and forever secured by the Con? stitution. They substitute military rulo for that of the civil law; thoy repeal the right of habeas corpus in time of peace; they deprive men of Me, liborty and property without due process of law; they subject chem to arrest without warrant found? ed on affidavit; they deprive them of the safeguard of a grand and petit jury. If all this may be right? fully done, then these acts may bo constitutional. Second.-The next question is, are there proper parties to this suit as complainant and defendants ? The Constitution declares that "the judicial power shall extend to all cases in law and equity arising under this) Constitution, the laws of tho United States, and treaties made or whioh shall be made under thoir authority." And it also declares that "in all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers, and those in which a State is a party, tho Supreme Court shall have original jurisdic? tion." This is a case in equity, as will be shown hereafter. It arises under the Constitution, and a Stato is party complainant. That a State may sue by original bill in tho Supreme Court of the United States has been settled by this Court. It is important, however, to consider whether the President of the United States can ba made a party defendant to this bill, inasmuch as there is no pr?c?dent.directly to the point.. Yet it is be? lieved tho question has been -virtually settled by very high authority. It is important, in this con? nection, to mark the.distinction, between what are called political powers and such as are ministerial, In the exercise of discretionary or political powers courts will not undertake to control the action of officers ; but not so with regard to ministerial duties, in the exercise of. which no one.is above the law, however exalted his position. ? Fortunate? ly we have neither a King, nor an Emperor, nor a Parliament who are omnipotent or above the Con-1 stitution. Our Constitution declares that "the judicial power shall extend to all cases in law and equity arising under this Constitution," ?co. And thus the judiciary are made the guardians and pro? tectors of the Constitution. Tho President is but tho creature of tho Consti? tution-ono of the agencies created by it to carry it into practical operation ; and it would bo strange indeed if he should bo permitted to exert his agency in violating that instrument, and then claim exemption from tho process of tho Court whoso duty i? s to guard it against abuses, be? cause he is the chief executivo officer of the Gov? ernment, and especially when he is exerting a mere ministerial duty, for ihat is ali ho does exert in executing an act of Congress. He has no dis? cretion in the matter. The Constitution makes no distinction as to parties. The caso is tho criterion, no matter who is plaintiff or who defendant ; and if tho President bo oxempt from the process of the law,. ho is above thc law. On this point it would, perhaps, be sufficient to refer to tho very elaborate and able decision of Chief Justice Marshall, delivered on thc trial of Aaron Burr. An application was made for a subpoena puces leeton, to be directed to the President of tho Uniied States, and the applica? tion was resiste-i on.the ground that the President was not amenable td the process of the court, and could not bo drawn from the. discharge of his duties at tho seat of Government, and made to at? tend the court sitting at Richmond, Thc Chief Ju - tice drew the distinction between the President and thc King of England, and held that ah officers in this country were subordinate to the law and must obey its mandate, and thcreforej sustained the application. . The subpoena daces lecum was only a command to the President to do a particular thing; the in? junction is but a command to bim not to do a par? ticular thing under a void authority'. Tho princi? ple is the same in the two cases, as well as the means of coercing obedience, and the reasoning of Chief Justice Marshall completely reaches and set? tles thc question now before this'Court. The Con? stitution provides that all officers may bo im? peached; but this docs not exon?rate them from personal liability for acts dono under color of ni? neo- thc President as well as other officers. The whole question lies within a narrow compass. The Constitution is supreme, all officers are subordi? nate to the supreme law, and consequently subor? dinate to thc command of that department whose duty it is to enforce subordination by declaring the meaning, the extent, and thc limitations of the Constitution. If the President be exempt, why not all his Cabinet officers? They all constitute but parts of the Executive Department of the Government. Yet in the case of Mabry ca. Madison, 1 Cranch, it was decided that the nels of the Secretary of State were the acta of the President, and that the Secre? tary might be subjected to the process of manda? mus. Why would it not just as woll lie against the President. It would be strange, indeed, to hold that thc subordinate is liable and may bc sued for acts which are the acts of bia principal, and yet that tho principal is not hablo and cannot be sub? jected lo thu process of law. Even more recontly this Coiu-t has decided that officers of the Execu? tive Department arc liable to tho process of the Court. (Seo Kendall os. Stockston, ll Peters, 524; Uiutcd States cs. Guthrie, 17 Howard, 254.) Tho case of Ellis cs. Earl Gray, (i Simons, 214, is a lead? ing case in England, and has been approved in this Court. In that case it WHS decided that the Lords of the Treasury, constituting the prominent department of the Executive Government, might bc enjoined by thc Judicial Department. lu that country thc King is supposed to be above the law, and it ia tho fountain ol justice, yet his immediate subordinate departments aro not above it. Li this country tho President is not above the law; it is above him, and heneo he must be subject to its restraints, *** + *** Third.-Does tho hill present a oase proper 1 tho interposition .of this Court ? The Constituti gives to tho Federal Judiciary equity jnrisdictio and it is a familiar principle that 'wherever j ur. diction is given over a particular subject or a pt ticular branch of jurisprudence, it is ample for i purposes connected with the subject or the bram of jurisprudence. Therefore the jurisdiction this court is ample to take cognizance to the fi extent over all subjects of equity jurisdiction. v have then but to prosent such a caso- as equi would take cognizance of, and the relief w?l 1 granted to the utmost extent of the powers of court of equity. The great distinction betwe< remedies at law and equity is this: a court of h gives redress or damages for injuries, and a cou of equity will prevent their occurrence. The one can do nothing more than give cor pensation in damages, while the other will sa the party from a resort to the remedy for damage by preventing the mischief. And even if there 1 a remedy at law which is inadequate, a court equity will tako jurisdiction. But in this ca there is no remedy at law. It is a case in whh equity alone can give relief. If there be no rem dy, then the Feder.il Constitution is not, as d dared *tho supreme law of the land, since a me: majority in Congress may exclude States, as it hi done in thia instance ; it may blot out States, an .State constitutions, and State governments, or may assume and exercise the absolute power : govern them. If this may be done in the Soutl ern States, it may just as well be done in otb States, and the will of a majority in Congress the supreme law in ali cases whatsoever. Tho pe pie of tho States which framed the Federal Go eminent, surely did not think it possible that th? wero creating a power that could destroy their e; istonce as States, and yet this has been done wit four of tho original States that created the Go eminent. This bill presents soveral grounds, on oither i which a court of equity may rightfully take jurii diction and give tho relief sought. * * Fourth-As this legislation must have proceedc on thc idea that the Southern States are not men hers of tho Union, lot us, in the last place, inquii whether they were in tho Union during the rebe lion have been in over since, and are so now. '. they have continued to be and are so now, the surely these acts have no constitutional basis. The union of the States under the Articles i Confederation ot 1778, as well as under the Const tution, .vas a "perpetual Union," and could not t dissolved by act of Congress or tho attempt* withdrawal of any portion of the people of a Stat If Congress cannot dissolve the Union, it canni exclude any Slate from the Union, for if it ma exclude one Statu, it may exclude any number < States, and thus accomplish a result forbidden t the Constitution. The secession ordinances, t far as their legal effect was concerned, were mei nullities. These ordinances were, nullities who enacted, and they acquired no legal or constiti tional force by subsequent events. Tho assen blage which onacted these ordinances had no moi legal or constitutional power than popular meei inga. They wcro not only illegal, but insurrection arv. The State Constitutions, framed under thea ordinances, wero nullities also, because the Feden Constitution expressly declares, in imperative lai guage,. that "thia Constitution shall bo the si {ireme law of the land, anything in the Constiti ion or laws of any State to tho contrary notwitl standing." Tho secession ordinances being nullities, th subsequent State constitutions based upon thei were nullities, because the constitutions of all th States are required, as wo have seon, co be alwav snbordinato to the Federal Constitution. Tho sui sequent so-callod Legislatures and Governors, an all other officers, civil and military, acting undc these insurrectionary proceedings, whether t Montgomery, Richmond, the State capitals or else where, had no legal or constitutional authority not only for the above reasons, but alsobecaue they were all required first to tako an oath to sui port the Constitution of the United States. I tart, the whole proceedings, commencing with th secession ordinances; down to the last act of th drama, were part and parcel of a great insurrot tion, wholly illegal, and totally forbiddon by th Constitution. But surely an unsuccessful insui rec tion in any State,: although it might subject th individuals concerned to punishment, could nc force any State from the Union, confer any sue power on Congress, or effect in any way the Fed eral relations of the State. Although Congress can suppress insurrection whether of a minority or majority of the people i any State, yqt it cannot declaro war against a State or treat it as a foreign Tower, or coerce or punis; a State in its corporate capacity. Such a powei I as shown by the Madison Papers, recording th i proceedings of the Convention which framed th Federal Constitution, waB then asked from tho Convention, and expressly refused. The principa r?asons for this refusal were: First-Because (unlike the Confederation of 1778 the Constitution acted only on individuals, and no upon States. Second-Becauso the power to suppress insui rection in any Stato, and punish the individual concerned, was sufficient. And third-Tho Convention would not s*an power to Congress to declare war against a Stat or punish a Stato, or inflict any pains, penalties, o forfeitures upon it, because, such an authorit; would carry with it the power to expel a State in definitely from the Union, or to treat it as a con quered loreign province. Tho Union of all th States under tho Constitution was intemded to b indissoluble, either by State or 'Federal authority We know that the refusal of the Convention whicl framed theCoustitution to grant, to Congress -tb power to make. war. upon a. State, or to cooroo i State in its corporate capacity, has been most er roneoualy cited a? justifying the resistance in th South to the armies of tho Union; but those ar mies, as expressly declared by Congress, did no march to destroy States, but, under the powe: granted by the Constitution, "to execute the law; of tho Union and suppress insurrections," no: could the performance of these duties by the Fede eral Government be arrested by any State law o: ordnance whatsoever. Indeed, not only did Congress never declaro war bu '. it commenced (before Congress was convened under the proclamation of President Lincoln, ti suppress an insurrection, and was so continued b] Congress throughout the conflict. Similar vie wi were set forth by President Jackson, after the se? cession ordinance of South Carolina, in his great proclamation of 1832, carried ont by the force bill o: that date, and by the army and navy under the com' maud of Soott and Elliott at Charleston. Suet were the views expressed by Daniel Webster in hit incomparable speeches of that date : such were the opinions of Henry Clay. Martin Van Buren, ant all the Union pat: io ts of that date ; such was tin action of Congress in suppressing the whiskey in? surrection of 1798, and tho Ohnstead revolt ol 1807, although sanctioned by the Legislature anc Governor of Pennsylvania; such tho action of the Government in suppressing the South Carolina se? cession of 1832 ; such was the action of Congres; anjd of President Lincoln throughout thc recen I rebellion, and such has been tho uniform opinion of this Court, Congross novor did declaro wai against a State, or attempt to punish a Stato, oi exercise any such power, unloss indeed its reconl action within the last few weoks may be regarded as the exertion of such a power. If tho peoplo, whothor few or many, a majority or a minority, bj secession or otherwiso, attempted by force lo de? stroy the Government or disBolvo the Union, il was a case ol' insurrection,-to suppress which, by its whole military pawer, was the right and duty ol tho Government. Throughout tho robollion the Constitution remained in full foroo in tho ?'tate ; so did its then existing State Constitution and State laws framed under and in subordination to the Federal Constitutum. These former State constitutions and State lawe remained binding and tn full force throughout the rebellion, and they are in force now, except so far as changed since the tiuppression of the insurrec? tion by the people of the State acting in subordi nation to tho Federal Constitution, or by amend? ments to it. An unsuccessful rebellion does not withdraw a Stato from thc Union, deprive tho State of any of its rights, or repeal the State constitu? tion; "nor docs it authorize Congress to change that instrument, or to frame, or dictate, in whole or in part, any new constitution. Congross cannot change terms" (established by the Federal Consti? tution) under which a Stato is entitled to represen? tation in the Sonato and House of Representatives; it cannot prescribe any now conditions, much less can it say that, unless a Stato shall regulate the right of suffrage according to thc will of Congress, it shall bo forever excluded from tho Union. Four of tho States over whom this power is attempted tobo exercised, are among the States which framed the Constitution. Others of those States were ad? mitted under "unalterable" and "irrevocable" compact, made "binding and conclusive" on this Government, by which they were forever to en? joy, as States, all the rights stipulated by those compacts, and to bo admitted, as they were into the Union, "on tho same footing with the original States in all respects whatsoever." Is this true, if Massachusetts and New York may regulate the right of suffrage now and in all time hereafter withiu their hmits at their pleasure, but Virginia and Mississippi cannot do so V Is a State, even if readmitted, hi which Congress regulates or dic? tates thc right of suffrage, and exercises other powers, not delegated by the Constitution, in truth a State ? or is it not merely a suborilinatc province, and in fact, and in contemplation of thc Constitu? tion, not a State of the Union ? Certainly it is not, as required, a State "on the same footing with the original btates in all respects whatso? ever." If thero was anything clearly required by the Constitution it was the uniformity ol' its opera? tion in all .tho Slates. Congress cinnot discrimi? nate among States in tho exorciso of its constitu? tional powers. It cannot say one State shall regulate within its limits the right of suffrage and not another. It cannot say a certain class shall vote now and forever in one Stato, but may remain excluded in another. *#****## The decisions rests not in Congress, for it pos? sesses only "legislative" and not judicial power. Is there then no tribunal for the peaceful settle? ment of disputed questions of constitutional law ? Can there be no uniform operation of the Constitu? tion tiiroughout tho Union ? Must anarchy gov? ern, or is thc sword to be the umpire ? Tho third article of the Constitution, organizing tho judicial as a department distinct from and independent of Contrress and the President, expressly declares that "the judicial power of thc United States phall bo vested in one Supremo Court," &c.; it " shall extend to all cases iu law and equity arising under theCoustitution, the-laws of tho United states," &c; "to controversies to which the United Sty tos may be a party," Arc, and thon it dcclaros that "in all cases in which a State shall bo a party, the Su? preme Court shall have original jurisdiction." Can any language bc more explicit than this? It is comprehensive, ''??ll cases." It is imperative, " shall extend," and such has ever been the settled doctrine of this Court. But if tho judicial department of tho Govern? ment is to be overthrown and Congress to be in? augurated as the supremo uncontrolled authority, then each State hoWn all its rights, and every citi zen all his rights of life, liberty and property by the feeble tenure of the legislative will. Yon nola the bonds of the Government, bat by She new doc? trine CongresB may deprive yon of them by taxa? tion or otherwise, and there is no appeal or re? dress. Yon hold real estate, and deem yourself secure. Vain delusion ! Congress, by an omnipo? tent power, may take it from yon. Yon have the right to vote; Congress may deprive you cfit. You aie entitled to trial by jury, and your life, liberty and property can be taken from you by due process of law. Are yon drea' ling ? Congress may sweep all these away, and subject you, in tune of profound peace, to military rule, and try you for offences un? known to the law. What would property be worth if; held by the mere tenure of the legislative will, subject to the biennial decision of the ballot box ? The annihilation of the judiciary, the overthrow of the Constitution. ?What a catastrophe I Already the Government is'rocking on its base, and if it should not be now firmly upheld, us already heretofore, by this Court, we will oil soon look upon the broken columns and walk amid the mouldering ruins of the Constitu? tion. The destruction of the Constitution 1 Why, it is the destruction of the Union and the Govern? ment ; for it is the Constitution which made and sustains the Government and the Union. May this great tribunal, raised above all transient passions and sectional prejudice, now, as always heretofore, Bave us from this dread catastrophe. This is em? phatically a bill of peace to prevent multiplicity of suits, and settle finally and peacefully controver? sies that otherwise would be endless w A fraught with extreme peril; and this alone, ar shown by the preceding authorities, is a sufficient ground for equity jurisdiction.

The Paris Bourse bas been almost in a state of panic, ovei the publication of the secret treaties of Prussia vi th the Southern States of Germany. Bismarck I is thrown otf the mask. It looks as if he were working to construct an imperial throne fdr King William, Austria and all Germany to be invited to the Grand Parliament. Jost as soon as M. Rouher replied to M. Thiers in the French Chambers, that the Western Powers would readily form an alliance to check the march of Prussia, Bismarck proclaims to Prance and Europe that Prussia is bound to keep straight forward in her course, let the Western Powers do what they wilL It looks as if Napoleon had been a second time overreached by the sagacious but bold statesman of the North; whereas, before he had suffered Na? poleon to think himself a mediator between Prus? sia and Austria, now he tells him openly that he submitted onlv to begin anew with the first favorable opportunity. The river Maine is not, then, the boundary of North Germany; Prussia, under these treaties with the Southern States, commands their entire military force, threatens France on her eastern boundaries, and clones her to interfere with the gigantic plans that have been mapped out. England can do nothine. Russia cannot but have serious apprehensions about it. Austria may be willing to form an alli? ance with France to resist the progress of Prussia, although she was lost year kicked out of Southern Germany herself , and need not be sensitive to any additional insult now unless she chooses. It has been thought that the great Exhibition would com? mand peace for this year, at any rate; that may be tho very reason why Bismarck crowds Napoleon as he does. The latter could hardly attend to an Exhibition of all nations and carry on a war at the same time, and do justice to both, and this the Prussian Minister understands.-Boston Post. SEOAB BOXES.-AS many business men are sub? jecting themselves to a heavy peneaity by their ig? norant violation of the thirty-second section of the revenue law passed at the close Of the 'TJurth-nintb Congress, it is stated, for all concerned, that the section in question enacts " That any person who shall sell, give away, or otherwise dispose of any empty segar box or boxes which have been stamped, without first defacing or destroying such stamp, shall, - on conviction ol either o?enee, be hable to a penalty of one hun? dred dol?ais, or to imprisonment not exceeding sixty days, or both, in the discretion of the court, with the costs ot the trial ; and it shall be lawful for any sogar inspector or revenue officer to des? troy any empty segar box upon which a cigar stamp shall be found.". . RAILROAD ACCIDENT.-We learn that a freight train coming east , on the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad ran off the track yester? day some five miles from Riverside. The accident occurred on an embankment, and. five or sis eara were badly broken or thrown over. The. inward, bound mail train was delayed a short time, and the. passengers brought to town by a portion of the freight train. The road will not be clear until this afternoon, .probably, but the regular''mail train will go out as usual this morning, transferring passengers, to., around tho. wreck to another train.-Wilmington Dispatch. - EXECUTION SUSPENDED.-Tho negro Sbeperd alias Henry Cornell, convicted of horse stealing, and sentenced to be executed in Crawford County last Friday, in the absence of Govornor Jenkins from the State, has had the sentence suspended by Col.
