COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning, September 27,1870. A Question of t?o vern intnt-Where Doc? Sovereignty Xl?st In tills Country! We have before suggested that in this country ono groat source of national in? security and internal disorder is the fact that wo are nt variance as to tho truo oharnotor of the Government nndor which we live. This difference of opi? nion has already caused ono internal war in theso States. It may in the futuro cause another. Among the evils that tho radical porty has brought upon this country, the blows it has inflicted upon oar governmental system nro not tho least in itnportunce. lu carrying out its . purposes, it bas not hesitated to invado tho Constitution of tho republic. In tho speech which Mr. Stevens, tho radical lender, made on tho occasion of tho im? peachment of President Johnson, he did not hesitate to avow tho new and start? ling doctrine that Congress embraced tho sovereign power of tho republic. Said be, on that occasion, "litesovereign power of ike nation rests on Congress, " and again, *'ihe sovereign power in this repttblic is thc Congress of the United Stales." This Iheory as to tho foundation of our go? vernmental system is good radical doc trine, but "it impudently contradicts tho history of the republic." It doos moro it renders impossible any written Consti? tution like ours, which distinctly recog? nises tho Executive, the Judiciary and the Legislative, as the tbreo co-ordinato and co-equal branches of the Govern? ment. Congress, the President, the Su? preme Court, aro all the crealwes of tho Constitution. No one of these depart? ments can bo "the sovereign in this re? public." All combined cannot bo "sove? reign in this republic." Tho question then arisos, where does sovereignty rest? "We answer, in the peoplo, whose willj is expressed in tho Constitution. Tho Go? vernment is the creaturo of tho Consti? tution-the Constitution is the creature of the political peoplo who mado it-that ia, of tho possessors of tho olectivo fran? chise. . Of course, ju6t hero arises tho question as to whether this sovereign power resides in the people of tho United States as a whole, or in tho peoplo of tho several States which formed tho Consti? tution, or have como in tho Union under it. We do not propose to revive this dis? cussion. Whether the theory of Mr. Webster bo accepted, or the theory of Mr. Culhoun bo adopted, iu either event, the "sovereign power in this Republic" rests in the people. And this is tho point we desire to make, viz: that tho radical theory and practice, which is, that Congress is supreme, is revolu? tionary and unconstitutional and de? structive of good government. Nay, more, it ia un-liepublican, for the essence of true Republicanism is, that represen? tation is genorul and thorough, and how ean this bo iu a Government of tho nu? merical majority, such as this Govern? ment becomes when it is acknowledged that Congress is "the sovereign iu this Republic?'' Of this, wo feel satisfied, when the sovereign power of this coun? try has been snatched from the organic people and becomes fully cont red iu Congress, then will it be timo for us to seek new guards for our futuro security. Already has tho Republic drifted far from its ancient moorings. Let us hope that it may be brought back to its fasten? ings, aud that it may bo so soenred ns not to bo affected in its integrity by "the tidal ebb and flow of tho liassions of the hour." NO DlSTCKBANCE IX EDUEl"IEr,D.-Wc aro gratified io b;dug able to state, upon the authority of Mr. W. P. Durisoc, Sr., that tho report of a difficulty having oc? curred at Edgelield, on Thursday last, in which Mr. C. A. Cheathum was re? ported to have killed a negro constable, and Mr. Arthur Glover to have shot aud wonnded three others, is wholly without foujulation. No eollisiou whatever has occurred between these geutlemeu and tho negroes. Tho report was put in circulation in tho city by a white mun from South Carolina, who related thc circumstance with so much apparent plausibility at thc eily bridge that it was snapped up by a hungry reporter, and given to tho public through tho columns of tho Augusta Constitutionalists. -!-?-.-? A stylish young lady came to Rich? mond from New York, about two weeks ago, and put up at one of tho principo] hotels. She attracted much attention both for her extravagauco of dress and rather mysterious antecedents. On last Saturday night, however, she explained tho whole matter by taking a huge dose of laudanum, ami leaving a letter to be forwarded to an illicit lover of hers in Now York. So intent was sho on com? mitting suicido that sho bit ol? and swallowed a portion of tho stomach pump that was used to relieve ber ol' the poison. She can hardly recover. The number of .skulls recently dug np in Now York Golgotha-the City Hall Park-is said to be DOO. MR. EDITOB: lu Saturday's paper, I notice that I am reported as having mo? derated my speeches. Now if this moans that thero has been any chango in my opinions, it is an error. There bas been* no occasion for chango. I am as true to principio and as firm in its defonco as over. If there has boon any chango, it has boon in tho moderation of tho exag? gerated roports which have been preva? lent rcspooting my courso and my speeches. I havo as largo an interest in tho welfare and prosperity of tho State as most of my fellow-citizens, and I know my duty as a Carolinian, and I havo sufficient confidence in the good sonse of tho people to believe that they will sustain mo in its discharge. JOSEPH CREWS. SEPTEMBER 26, 1870. MARYLAND.-Under tho provisions of tho fifteenth amendment, tho colored people of Maryland aro entitled to suf? frage. Becoming dissatisfied with refer? ence to certain matters, they indited an epistle to tho Domocratic Governor, ask? ing for an extra session of tho Legisla? ture, etc. Tho following is tho corres? pondence: Tho Chairman of tho Republican Slate Executive Committeo transmits a "pro amblo and resolutions" to tho Governor, scttiug forth: Whorens, the Constitution is supreme, and Whereas, tho fifteenth amendment is a part of it, and Whereas, "It is bolioved" that G0.0GO now voters aro to bo registered, and "it is represented" that tho timo allowed is insufficient, and Whereas, "It is reported" that thero are vacancies in tho registration offices; therefore, Resolved, That tho Governor's atten? tion bo called to the foregoing, and Resolved, That he be appealed to, to call an Extra Legislative Session, and Resolved, That ho bo requested to fill tho vacant offices; and Resolved, That our Chairman transmit tho foregoing to the Governor. The Chairman having transmitted, in obedience to tho instructions, his Excel? lency tho Governor sont for n shcot of bc3t, gilt-edged, crenm-laid, and a pon, with a nib warranted not to splutter, squared the Executive shoulders, laid his head on one side, partially closed his right oyo, slightly puckorcd tho official mouth, and indited as follows: I lament denying anything to tho po? litical party which is so good as to op? pose me. Tho Constitution is indeed very su? preme. So is Cougress. I think tho time for registration ample. There is no vacancy in any office, nor likely to be, while I havo a friend to fill it. Tho Extra Legislative Session would bo costly. Thereforo, and in conclusion Don't you wish you may get it? I am, your obodicnt sor va ut, OLEN BOWIE. WUEKE THE FASHIONS ARE TO COME FROM.-The modistes' view of tho war in Europe is not without its interest to tho general public, which will be delighted to know that the question of whero tho fashions are to come from has already been determined, in advance of all other international questions involved. Euge? nie's mantle is to fall upon a pair of fair Gormuu shoulders, but precisely whose is not yet settled. The Crown Princess of Prussia is still young, but, like her royal mother of England, she has uo love of dress, und is altogether too practical to succeed as a leader of fashion. Her .sister-in-law, Alexandra, Princess of Wales, has too many domestic canis to think of. Thero is tho little Princess Alice Maud, wife of Trinco Louis of lio.ssp, who may take up the scepter; bot of her tastes iu that direction nothing is known. But it is clear that Berlin is hereafter to have tho credit as well as tho labor of dovising and setting the fashions. The fashion p'.atesand fashion papers of Paris have always been of Berlin origin, a fact only recognized sinco tho reproduction ol' the Berlin Bazaar was begun in this country. Lur? ing tho paBt season, many of the first Now York merchants bought their supplies iu Berlin instead of at Paris. Local mo? distes have, latterly, turned to tho for? mer city for their supplies, and have studied tho styles, like so mauy Jenny Wrens, "under tho Hudens" instead of on tho boulevards. Whether or not, therefore, Germany obtains tho domain of Alsaco and Lorraiuo, slie has already control of that of fashion, and it is of little consequence to tho dress-m akers whether or not Bismarck dictates peace to Paris, since it is assured that Berlin is hereaf? ter to diclato .styles to tho world. A Kansas lady, on retiring to her room one night, found it literally filleul with marions, which had down in during her absence;. Instead of harshly turning them out into the cold, tho kind-hearted lady captured nearly all the little crea? tures, and had them served lip tho next day in a pot-pie. Atari execution of four criminals at tho Isle of WiglitCourtllou.se, Virginia, two of tho ropes broke, and the two who were to have buen hung by them were kept waiting seventeen minutes, while I their companions were dying. They wore thou marched up On thu scaffold ? and despatched. An English chemist has invented for uso by tho Prussians against Paris, a projectile to bo filled with petroleum, which spreads a ilaino over sixteen to twenty-four square yards .surface. ?100 i workmen are engaged on it. Thero aro two directly opposite rea? sons why soino men havo poor credit i ono because they're not known, fiud tho i other because they aro known. THE OCCUPATION OF ROME.-The occu? pation of the Eternal City by the Ita? lian armies is now accomplished, and Without bloodshed, the Pope, as is al? leged, having used his influence to pro vent the unavailing resistance which his troops might have made-a pacific exam? ple which commends itself to adoption in Franco, though tho motto of "Rome for tho 11lilians" could hardly be accept? ed as applicable to a surrender of Paris to tho Qormaus. At tho same timo, apart from tho question of tho expedi? ency of tho Pope's temporal power, thoro is no disputo that his claim as a temporal ruler, whether it becomes him to havo such claim or not, is as good as that of any other of tho temporal rulers of Europe, ou tho score of antiquity. If possession is niue poiuts of the law, a thousand years would scorn to confer a fair title among those who believe that length of possession can justify perpetu? ation. Tho Pope's territory has been gradually dwindling down till hu hos only left a small strip of land nh thu Mediterranean, 120 miles in length, aud iu breadth varyiug from twenty to fifty miles, with a population of about 600,000. Rome, Comarca, Viterbo, Civita Vecehia, Vellotri aud Frosinono ate the towns and villages in the Papal territory. The refusal of tho l'ope to resist tho occupation of Rome by the King of Itali' does uot imply bis assent, to the proceeding, but simply a desire to avoid useless bloodshed. lu I860, Louis Na? poleon advised him to surrender all his territory except Rome, which request he indignantly rejected. It may bc re? marked that in the early purt of Louis Napoleou's career, when ho wan himself au Italian revolutionist, ho wrote u letter iu which ho earnestly besought the Holy Father to relinquish his temporal power, aud maintained that it would greatly strongtheu tho spiritual interests ot" the Church. The first Napoleon made tho Holy Father a prisoner in France, rob? bed him of all his territories, and, with tho compensation of some 2,OUI), ODD fraucs, reduced him to tho rank of a French subject. With tho fall of tho French Empire in 1814, the Popo found himself agaiu at Rome, a powerful temporal prince, with many powerful temporal princes at his back, and the acknowledged religious chief of sympathizing millions iu all lands. The events of 1848 wore serious aud destructive so far as tho Papacy was concerned. Thc Pope had fled and Romo was a republic. 1818, however, proved a failure all over, and tho Holy Father in due timo found his way back to his temporal throne. What is to be the end of the present state of affairs whether Pius IX will romain in Rome whether tho Popes will be abseut from Rome for generations, as iu tho Avignon poriod, or forever, who can tell? Au object long dear to tho Italian heart will bo roalizeil if Romo becomes once more tho capital of Italy, but may not tho spectre of a republic of Romo como to haunt tho King as well as tho Pope? Eveuts move fast iu these days, and it may uot bo possible for the modern Canutes to sot limits to thc tide of change. -Baltimore Sun. A strange suicide was committed in Harrison County, Missouri, ou the 1st. A traveler stopped at a farm, whero they were threshing out grain, and going in tho barn-yard, began talking to some of the men at work, telling them bo used to work with a machine, whoroopon, he asked leave to drive. His request was grouted, and after a short spell, ho asked if he might not feed the machino. It was quito apparent that ho was well posted in regard to threshing, and hav? ing fed for sonio time, he looked around at the driver with a nod, signifying that ho wanted moro power. ?Standing still till tho cylinder was flying and buzzing around like "double-geared lightning," aud every ono becoming alarmed at thc awful motion, ho jumped head first against thu teeth of tho cylinder, aud in less than an instant, he was ushered into eternity. No ouo knew him, and there were no papers upon his poison by which ho could be identified. Nil: son has - appeared, and tho New York papers aro enthusiastic. The Times says that the impression she made cannot be exaggerated-that her voice is "wonderful"-that it possesses a .'velvety breadth," (how is that for high?) "a luxurious abundance never before matched. " Tho Tribuna declares ber voice "without u flaw," "perfect in purity," "scaling empyrean heights," Ac. Tho Herald thinks that iu cultiva? tion and distinctness she surpasses Jenny Liud, aud tho [Kor/i/affirms that she has a noto aud a half more compass than either Lind or Titicus. And one. and ail are enthusiastic about her "fair, sweet face," her "charming smile," her "lus? trous eyes," and "her light golden hair, which is tho glory of tho Northern wo? men." Nilsson is to be a success, that is settled. POINT LOOKOCT (MD.) CEMETERY AND THU CONFEDERATE DEAD.-Tho board of directors of this cemetery met at Lc onardtown and resolved to erect a vault near Point Lookout for tho reception of the remains of tho Con fed ora to dead, und to raise a suitable monument to their memory. Cant. Ooo. Thomas, Hon. Thomas Martin, Col. J. Purran Crane and .ianies R. Langley were appointed to carry out the object of tho meeting. Yalejo, California, must be a very bad placo to live in. The Recorder, publish? ed there, says it harbors mou who "have become so saturated with tho oil of con? densed damnation as to commit au act combining all the horrors of a century of crimes into one." A laborer named Murray, while exca? vating at the Fountain Hotel, baltimore, a few days since, carno upon a tin box, which was fuuud to contain 2,000 gold coins. Pierro Dupont, tho most popular French songster since tho (lays of D?ranger, has just died in Paris, at tho ago of fifty. ENOLTSH WORKWOMEN'S DEMONSTA TION IN FAVOR OP FRANC?.-Au immense ?opulor d?monstration took place in rafalgar Square, London, on Monday night, in favor of tho French republic and against German aggression. Seve? ral hundred thousands of citizens, chief? ly workingmen and trades-people, parti? cipated. Tho square was illuminated with calcium lights and thousands of transparencies, tho latter bearing liberty mottoes. The "Star-Spauglod liaunor" and othor American nirs and tho "Mar? seillaise" and other French odes formed tho leading part of tho musical pro? gramme. Several speeches woro made. A spirited address to tho Republic of Frauco was adopted, in which it de? clared that tho monarchs of Germany prosecute tho war now against republi? canism and not against France, aud that iu so doing they aro guilty of a great crime against liberty and humanity, against the people of Germany as well as against the people of France. The ad? dress tells tho people of France that the English people have demanded, demand, and will not cease to demand the recog? nition of tho republic in France until they shall have wrung compliance with their will from a vacillating aud cowardly ministry. It is universally admitted that no such demonstration has ever before been seen in London, and whatever maj- bo said or left unsaid by the London journals to belittle and to misrepresent it, it is con? sidered by thinking men here to bu the beginning of a political change in which the government of ?Mr- Gladstone has prepared the way, and by which it,will bo swept out of power if it fails to accept and to assist it. It was announced that a national asso? ciai ion of workingmen had been formed iu tho interests of European peace; that an agitation in favor of arbitration iu tho stead of war would be begun and carried on throughout England, and that d?monstrations would be prepared before tho assembling of Parliament to which Parliamont and tho Government would bo coinpellod to give need. CHOLERA APPROACHING.-Tho awful news of tho approach of cholera reminds us of au old, insidious and unconquera? ble enemy. In Havana, it is spreading with frightful rapidity. There were fifty-three deaths in ono day and eighty on another. Tho victims arc taken from all classes-from the aristocracy and the chain gang-equally. lu tho shipping in the harbor, its ravages have been very great, aud letters dread lest the epidemic make such headway as to lill tho city with mourning, and to take the popula? tion off in countless numbers. In Franco, wc bear of the cholera among the German troops. In South-eastern Russia, it is rapidly extending. Tho Journal de St. Petersburg, of tho 11th inst., announces twenty-three cases and ten deaths from tho epidemic at Rostow, and niuo casos and four deaths at Kertch. Tho appearance of tho diseaso is also announced nt Odessa, iu a coinmuuica tion dated tho Ith inst. The latest news from Taganrog, states that from the 25th of Juno to the 28th of July, 118 cases of the ma'ady occurred in that town, seven? ty-five of which ended fatally. VICISSITUDES IS THE LITE or A WOMAN. Tho Prussians have just driven tho poor old Baroness do Reumout from her chateau for the third time. Tin y iirst forced her to fly in 1792, tuen again in ISM, and now at the age of ninety-four she is once moro obliged to abandon her home. Tho barouoss lives a few miles from Moutmedy, at the chateau of Grand-Vornouil, whero apartments were prepared to receive Louis XVI during his Hight. They were never occupied by the unfortunate monarch, who was stopped at Yarenues. THE BLACK CODE.-The Williamsburg Slur disposes, in a. very summary way, of the charge that General M. C. Butler advocated the passage of tho so-called Black Codo. It says that General But? ler (tho Reform candidate for Lieuteuant Govornor) voted "No!" ou the final read? ing of the bill. But Colonel Graham, of Marion, (now a brand-new radical,) voted "Aye! and Judge Orr (then Go? vernor ot' the State, uow a spick-span new radical) approved the law without hesitation. On the receipt of tho news of the surrender of Louis Napoleon and his army to thc Germans, after tho battle, of .Sedan, James Saxton, Sr., editor of tho Canton (Ohio) Repository, published the announcement in his paper iu parallel columns with that of tho surrender of tho Iirst Napoleon after Waterloo, taken from the iilo of his own paper of Au? gust, 1815, iifty-flve years ago. Ho was editor then as HOW. A negro has beou nominated by tho radicals in South Carolina for Congress.
