^^^^^^^^^^^^ A g&h? il t? be argued i bet?re (be Supreme Court of tbe United States at tbe present term, on appeal front ? de-! Vision, _ by Mr- JubUcq Bradley, which wrested judgment in a ease of partieB jiadiqted for oonBpkacy and murder under the Enforcement Aot of 1870. It,will invplve mainly a decision of the meanings and effeot of the. clause in? serted at the end ot tbe late atnend .rnente to the Federal Constitution, which gives' Congress the) power to en? force them by appropriate legislation. These amendments are in the nature of prohibitions such as those formerly oxiatipg ^gainet the right to impair the obligation of oontraota, to pass ex ' fi?? ' faoto laws, to grant letters of marque, or title* of nobility, or keep ?n army and uavv ia time of peace. Theae and other old prohibitions were merely affiraecL No legitUtive power WjiT devolved 'apou Congress to pro . Jhat.they, shonld be enforced. *niort> recent'amendment? differ frorp. tb^piriu this respect, (hat a posi? tive' powerls obhstrQe'd to haVa been 'given io,Hoouro their enforcement by legislation I It i a tu hie noticed, ho w evor, tjlst. jo themfielvoa considered, tho fourteenth and fifteenth amsud mbu,ta'can be aa.easily enforced by the jodiciul power of the country, without any aid or intervention of Congress, as with it. If the Enforcement Aot merely means to. provide the ways and means [ for the highest judicial pbwer to de? clare State laws inoperative which violate these prohibitions, it could apt be HoriouBly objected to. It would ho but the complement of tho amend ?monts themselves. But it has been iK^d tq mean more and to be a depart? ure/ from, the old'system, and an in? crease pf the power of tbe Goneralj - yovyrnn^ont ovor the internal affairs ? 9f{t'hei?h\^s. j . Whether it does or not, appears to' be tha gist of the question which "nV*tb go before the Supreme Court. -'t?oos ItJM as the New York Herald asks,' "create in Congress an active, affirmative power of legislation, by which, without waiting for any breaoh of the inhibitions by a State, it can enter a Stute and make laws on .any subjeet that touches tbe enjoy? ment, of life, liberty or property, or ?the equal protection of the laws, or the exercise of the elective franchise by colored person's, or any thing else that belongs to the privileged or im mnnities of citizens of the United States? Is this the result of declaring, by an amendment of the Federal Con? stitution, that a State shall not do 'What tbe amendment forbids it to do, and then saying that Congress may enforce tbe prohibition by appropriate 1 * legislation? It is quite obvious that if j this is the effeot, there is no limit to] > *ho centralization that it prodaccB." ? 'j .Titdlelal baches. The Winnaboro News oalls attention to the c<irelesanes8 and remiasncss of tbe Judiciary Department of the Stato Government. Term after term ban been held, it says, and suddenly ad? journed, for reusons doubtless satis? factory to the Judges, bot probably productive of serious consequences to lawyers and clients alike. The result of the many delays and irregularities in the administration of justioe is that people generally havo lost 'confidence iu tho Courts. This is a serious com? plaint, and hardly overdrawn. Tooj mach politics will be found to bo nt the bottom of all this uegloot. The Judges in several iuatanoes have shown themselves to be more concerned about candidates for office than about their appropriate duties. They havethought it necessary to show their zottl iu favor of one man or another, and have sought to. be felt as a powerin their party. lint tunn i? both a doBcent from judicial rectitude and dignity uud an unpardonable: disregard of the obliga? tions which thoy hove assumed. Thoro may be some excuse foe the silence of lev/ amid n of arms. But none oan.be. fur med for that littlenesa and narrowness of mind, which will leavo pnblipi pressing and honorable duiics for, the applause of tho hustings and the eioiterr.eutH of the political arena; | evoirgreater thou is pictured by our $$000, V^ati ?Mohtp.m Meld now at all in Ltunreu?.

This is the way legislative expenses are con traded. This is the way bad laws are enacted. It is the way sessions roach over the thirty or forty days necessary for the publio business. Ono gror.nd mentioned, and perhaps a good one, for postponing the legislative work, is that the reports of tho public officers have not been sent in. But why thin delay on their part? There is no ne? cessity and can be no good excuse for it. -?4 .? *- ? - THE ?TfVTE LEQIsUiATURFt. Tue .day, Deckmbku 13, 1874. SENATE.

People will get married, and most of us do not bave bot one ehanoe, so do it up in style. Moreover, it is a poor compliment to your friends to invite them to your wedding with a shabby invitation.

N 2St} Thb Gn and S eck et.?Tbe grand eeoret in madiciue is to help natnre. Sustain and regulate?these are the Alpha and Omega of tbe oaiy theory ot cure that has common aeaao for it? basis. If the nervous system is shat? tered, tho muscles weak, aud the mind, like the body, in a statu of partial col? lapse?what is it best to do? Reason teaches us tho uuswer: Build up yonr man, Brace him as you would brace a tottering edifice. The pabulum he needs is a tonic alterutive. Bring him up out of the depths of debility and despondency with Hostetter's Bitters. They cannot injure. A ohild may tako them iu doses suited to ita years, with? out the possibility of harm. The en? feebled vital powers are as sure to re? spond energetically to their action as tbe wilted grase is to ereot its blades under the vivifying and refreshing rain. In all cases of debility the Bit? ters are absolutely required. There is no aubstitote or snuceedanenm that will till their place. Resort to the moat wondarful of modern tonics, and all will be woll. Bear in mind that io dyspepsia, intermittent fevers, bilious disorders, and affections of the nerves, no other medicine will produce ono tithe of the good effect that invariably follows tbe use of this excellent iu vigoraut and corrective. Being a mild diuretic, it gives a healthful impnlsn to the action of the kidneys where there is u tendency to dropsy, and as a blood depurent and nervine, has a highly beneficial effect iu rbeumatio cases.
