Alter closing the door, two of them presented revolvers at Mr. Morton, while the other two deliberately filled a sack with gnasj which they carried away, leaving their companions on guaid, and, having emptied it, returned, Ulled rt again, and the whole party then went away. They carried off altogether eighteen guns and a rifle. The police have j rwt?no-trace of the- perpetrator? of the act. Thc occurrence has caused great excitement in SHS* ; -rr-?opaiderahle excitement was occasioned at St Augustine, Florida, last week, by the kill? ing of two soldiers. It appears that two oiti sens af that place-James Mickler and Frank A/rnau-had a wartermslon patch * little out eade the city, bat had been unable to get the fr?it on-account of the nightly visita of on? known marauders. They accordingly set a spring gun in th? field, and on the following night tile gun went off, wounding a soldier, who, with a comrade, appear to have been there for no good purpose. The other soldier Mickler and Arnau were arrested by the milita? ry, but there being no proof against them they J were das ch arged.

FE ED A Y MORNING, AUGUST 7,1888. For Prtrider.t.......... HORATIO SKYMOfK. For Vict-Preiideni.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. T*ie State* a nfl the Union. TEX CojrairrtrnoHAir VIEW or TBS LATE WAS .BETWEEN THE STATES; ita Causes, Character, Conduct and Resulta. Presented in a series . .of colloquies at .-Liberty Hall, by Alexander . B. Stephens. "Tunes change and men change with them, bul principles never." Lu two volumes. . Vol. L National Publishing Company : Philadelphia. Mr. STEPHENS is" a bold man. Sere ia a book in whit1--he,-with the utmost sim? plicity -iud' straightforwardness, with co? gent argumentation; and with manifold ap? peals to. the archives and the statesmen of the republic, vindicates the Southern move? ment, the sovereignty of tho States, and the right of secession. The great debate which force adjusted, or at least?sUenped, upon the blood-stained fields of war, Mr. STE? PHENS renews before a court of higher appeal. Whatever the Union may seem in the eyes of others, to him it is Simply a federation between neighboring free, dem? ocratic States-a system which, republican in its parts sad limited in ita general agency of government, affords the only safeguard of mankind against the universal preva? lence of monarchy. Our author was, jost before secession an ardent Union man. In 1860 he opposed the policy of secession, and denied that the Legislature of Georgia had any legal right to withdraw from the Union. Bat he at the same time asserted that jost such a conven? tion of the people as had put a State in the Union could take it out; for such a' con? vention would embody the real and unre? linquished sovereignty of the State. Mr. STEBBINS acted npon these principles; he Toted against secession as an unwise meas? ure; but when Georgia, by a regularly con? stituted convention, withdrew from the Compact of Union, he felt it his duty to obey her high behest. The present volume may be regarded as an elaborate argument in vindication of that course. . In form, : the work ie constructed after the models presented in the dialogues of PLATO and C ic SRO. It consists of a series of colloquies. Mr. STEPHENS states that, after the war, a number of friends from the North visited him-men representing every shade of opinion upon the present state of public affairs. Actual conversations held upon ?hie subject suggested the mode of treatment here pursued. The scene is the portico of Liberty Hall-the somewhat pre? tentious name of Mr. STEPHENS' residence. The dramatis person ie are the master of the mansion and his guests-Judge BTNUM, of Massachusetts, a Radical; Professor NORTON, of Connecticut, a Conservative Republican, and Major HEISTER, of Penn? sylvania, a War Democrat. Encountering these opponents, either singly or together, from day to day, Mr. STEPHENS exposes the sophistries by whTch the sovereignty of the States have been deprecated, and vindi? cates that fundamental political doctrine by a careful analysis of the Articles of Con? federation and the Constitution of the Uni? ted States, as well as by the authority of the maxims of jurisprudence and the great writers on international law. He shows that tfiis doctrine was recognized in the State conventions whioh adopted the con? stitution; that it has been repeatedly ad? mitted by Congress, and . that it has been held by every President, from JEFF EES ON to LISCOXH. And he now contends that the recognition of this principle ia [easeat] W?rjfiitur* weHrb^ff.-?rf^li-^erBtate existence and tb be formed, aa well aa ti countless millions of people -wac are 1 after to 'inhabit "this half of the Wei Hemisphere. With ita general accept; he believes that np Benong dangers vi arise from controversies between the St for tho natural law of political' affiiii "mutual convenience and reciprocal ad tage"-would then regulate the conti] whatever union or unions were orjmigl really beneficial to all the States, w result so soon as temporary passions excitements should have subsided. The subject of nullification is cautic handled. Oar author waB never comm to it. He suggests the impropriety State's retaining senators and represe ti ves in Congress at the time when eh< fuses to obey laws emanating from body. Yet he admits that our State the right of protest against the polk protection, and that she did,- in the g controversy that ensued, force the gov ment to abandon its unequal policy of teotion. He describes Mr. CALHOUN'S ply to Mr. WEBSTEE, in 1833, aB "a crus ?an extinguisher, an annihilator !" The general reader will be surprise learning-, from so high an authority, i Mr. DAVIS, although a State Rights n was not a secessionist, properly speak He was not in favor of secession on ground bf Mr. LINCOLN'S eleotion. I he and Mr. To OM BS were willing to act Mr. CRITTENDEN's proposition in 1860, quieting the apprehensions of the South States. It was only when the party power refused to make any settlement give any assurances, that he united ? the other congressmen from the South rtjramendingsecession as a remedy agai the imminent dangers of the hour. Th facts, although they belong to the curr history of the country, have'been very g orally lost sight of; and one of our Cons va ti ves has born? the odium or the hoi of ?the Father of Secession"-a na which we heard applied to Mr. DAVIS the House of Rresentatives when the Pr idential trial was in -progress. The cogency of ME^SIEPEENS' ar gum < is incontestable, --although a little less se consciousness would have detracted nothi from ltd force. Some invidious remai may be provoked, also, by his grouping o coterie of fictitious disputants around real one, who carries off the palm, and his claiming for the simple country ma sion,: ycl?pt "Libertjt,Hall," the honors a political academy. It will be further o j ec ted thal the whole discussion is unse sonable,-that the proof that secession ie right inhering ia State sovereignty (a do trine which our author triumphantly esta lishes), does not set aside the principle sc tied by the war-that this right denian for its assertion an1 appeal to arms. Pra tically, the argument effects nothing. A cording to the terms of the Federal Coi pact and the maxims of the law of na tm and nations, any Stat? may have the rig] to secede whenever it pleases; but a terr ble precedent has established the rule thi no State shall leave the Union withoi fighting her wayout. u Yet there is one thing which this nob and exhaustive argument does accomplis] It vindicates our people. It proves th? the charges of rebellion and treachery, e commonly urged against them in variot quarters, are pure, unmitigated slander; It relieves the "Lost Cause" of .'tye taint c dishonor. It Is an app e al to the justice. c mankind ip behalf of a people who, dec i mated and impoverished, subdued and' sui; missive, cling but. the more fondly to wha is left-their honorable traditions, the i heroio virtues, their Lome untarnished-th best-, if not the only legacy, they can be queath to their children. Towards the close of the volume, the au thor shows that slavery wfts the occ&aioi and not the cau<r3 of the war; that id seces sion itself waa invoked that great righ which is fundamental ttr th? federative sys tem of government-? right of infini tel; more Importance to the Southern State than slavery, so-called, with the two thou sand millions of capital invested in it. Thi; is an important snbjeot; but our space wil not allow of its discussion here. The present volume is complete in itself exhibiting the conflict of principles whicl led to a resort to arms. In the second vol ame the author propos?e to consider UM conduct of the war, aa it effected constitu? tional principles, with its final results npox the organio structure of the entire system of American democratic free institutions. The public will await with eagerness the deliverances of Mr. STEPHENS.OQ these im? portant subjects. He is greater as a con? stitutional lawyer than as a statesman-a fact conclusively shown by his unseasona? ble temporizing when secession was first mooted, and the time for action was not only fully come, but had well-nigh passed. And the field which he proposes to occupy is precisely that where his special talents can be employed to the greatest publio ad? vantage. Ix is SAID in Washington that General BANES is being earnestly urged for the mis? sion to Russia, and grave consultations are being held in reference to the power of the President to appoint during the recess of Congress. Under the Civil Tenure-of-Offioe act the President cannot appoint an officer to a vacancy that occurred previous to the adjournment, of Congress, but in this case no vacancy exists, aB the resignation of CASSIUS M. CLAY^ was tendered to take effect on the nomination and confirmation of his successor. fost an& /oonb. L^^^^^^^^^^^ TERRIER DOO; answers to the name of "Prince."
