I hare said in all esses of doubtful coostU
tutionality, the Executive Department could
not become a court or judge In the matter.?
Neither ean Congress be a court. But it was
necessary there should be a final arbiter ; and
therefore, the CoasUtution provided a third
a apart m on t of government, called tbs Judicial.
This Judicial power ia expressly declared
to extend to all ease* arising Under the
Constitution, the law* of the United State*
and treaties, Ac., Ao. But bare again differences
have arisen, and it has been insisted that
the Word "cases" has a legal technical signification
and must bo confined within it, and,
therefore, that the judicial power does not eg*
tend to all gneitiont arising nndcr the Constitution.
This position was a favorite one with
persons of the strict Construction State bights
school. ''
When Booth Carollnadeclared the Tariff Act
plainly and palpably Unconstitutional, she refused
to refor the question to the Court, but
proceeded to nullify the net in bee borders. -?
a The Union men and Federalists insisted that
m aha should refer the case to the Supreme Court
a* the final arbiter, bat South Carolina refused
to do so, Insisting that the State was an
Independent, seperate sovereignty, outside of
the oxpr?t powers granted to Congress?that
? this was a political question, affecting her separate
sovereignty, and that she would not permit
any other power to sit in judgment upon
questions Involving her sovereignty j that In
this respect South Carolina stood to the United
States as the did so F ranee or England.
It w - sappesed that the peeatlar doctrines
ifi itigbte had* been decided by the war

to make a ease and tost these military

I therefore beg every eltisen, black and
white, even the humblest of the ten millions
who inhabit these ten States, to remetnberi
never forget, that it is his right?his glorious,
unpunishable, unImpeachable nioiiT, to resist
very interference, by any officer, high or low,
with his property, or his person, or his liborty,.
under these military bills ; and that each eltisen
owes it to every other Citiscn and to his State'
and to posterity and to constitutional liberty,
to aasert the right boldly and fearlessly against
every such interference. Nor have military
officers in such cases one particle more of protection
from suoh resistance than civil officers. "
The late is suporior to all?is matur of M
and the strength, tho majesty and the merit of
the law make thecitison's panoply in this issuo.
Hoar what a distinguished American writer
says on this subject; , t .
"It is now settled In Bngtand and tho United
PUtcS, that an officer of the forces who executes
the unlawful jrder remains personally
answerable. If the highest in command, the
Drxtith monarch himtcfj, order, contrary to
law, an officer to quarter hie eolditrt upon the
eititrne to annoy and oppress them, as Charles
L did, tho officer remains responsible, in the
fulleet sense of tho term, to the law of the land.
All tbst has boon gained by tho arduous and
protracted struggle which began to show itself
most signally under Charles L, may be
summed up in the fow words that the taw eha/l
he euperior to all and every one and every branch
of Gerernmmt; that there is nowhere a mysterious,
supreme and unattainable power,
which, despite of tho clearest law, may still
dispense with it or arrest its course. This is
the sum total of modern civil liberty, tho great,
firm and solid oompion's liberty."
Our Constitution?our snnrnmn Inw
no Congress, nor President, nor other earthly |
power can violate or authorise to be violated
with impunity?ie oVir ruler, our onig ruler,
and all the higheat office-holders, elvil and
military, are bat tie eervante and bound, under
penalties, to obey its commands.
Our Constitution declares:
" The privilego of the writ of habeas corpus
shall not be s.mpemUif, union when in cases
ol rebellion or invasion the publio safety may
require it." * .
" No bill of attainder or ex poet fmcto law
shall he passed."
" The trial of all crimes, except in oases of
impeachment, ehall be by Jury."
" No soldier shall, in Jiwe of peace, be quartered
in any house without the consent of tho
owner."
" Congress shall mako no law abridging tho
freedom of speeob, or of the press."
No citisen " shall be held to answer for a
capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless 011
a presentment or indictment of a grand jury."
" No warrant shall issue, but upon probable
cause, supported by oath or affirmation."
These are the commands of the only imperial
power in Amerioa?the Constitution. They
are so plain that a wayfaring man, though
fool cannot err in reading them. They
cover every Stater and territory, and protin
ee, and foot of soil ovor which tho juris
d'ulion of the United State* can possibly go.
Yet every- on* of thete positive commands, and
otbcrs besides, are to be violated and ordered
to be violated by those Military Sill*. They
arc, therefore, assaults?unmistakably traitorous
assault*?upon the Constitution ; end every
man, woman or obildor officer, elvil or military,
in the United States who votes Cor these
Bills, or approves them, or accepts them, or
passively submits to them, is an enemy of the
Constitution and an enemy to every aitiieu
whose rights are protected by tho Constitution.
I care pot what excusos are made, nor
whet pretenses are whined out About the power
of Congress And the progressive Radical
party. Sueh pretenses only show eowardice
or tho treasonable intent in those who use
them. Tho only way to crush the Radical
party is to bring down Upon 4t that power
which is greater than the Radical party?the
Constitution. If the President is a slave and
bonad to execute the orders of traitors, th?
people ate froomon and entitled to resist. The
only question and, therefore the only danger
Is, have they the courage to resist? A freedtnan
should know' no master but the law, andbend
the knee to no earthly power but tho Constitu
Hon.

of the ten Slates wilt go boldly forward,
and preserve and continue their existing
Stats government*, and hold nil election* in
the mnnner end at the time prescribed by I
existing State constitutions; -will choose officers
qualified according to existing Stale
constitutions and laws. If any citizen or
officer shall be interfered with In exercising
his right* under these laws, or in discharging
the duties of office to which he may be
thosen and make the issue fearlessly.
I would have them continue this until,,
and even after, pretended constitutions may
be formed by dehfded negroes and their designing
inferiors Under these Military Bills;
and if an attempt were made to displace
existing constitutions and governmonta by
pretended constitationa so funne l and officers
chosen thereunder, I would indict
very officer so attempting to tub vert ex.
l-ling legal Stat? government*, and I would
then have our Governors or the Legislatures
(if in session) make appl:eation to tha President;
under the Constitution, to protect
xisllng Statc governments " against domestic
violence," and thus compel the President
to deride whether he it bound to displace
by fores what he admits to be existing legal
State constitutions and governments for
those he admits to be illegal, unconstitu.
tional and tyranical.
I will add two important considerations
why our people should thus resist end never
consent to these usurpations : .
K
In the first plnce, if we once Allow these k
new governments to become legally fixed
on lit by eur consent, we can never get rid
of them. The power will be In the hands
of those who make and administer them ;
and though destroy, at they will, they will
hold on to their iniquity. It will also require
three-foortha of the States to eenotir
In the adoption of the odlotia Constitntional
Amendment, bnt If adopted it wftl^hen re
quirt three-fourth* of the Steele* ta get rid
of it.
But, in the Second place, If, rtl it (Jl?ar,
these hills are so grossly unconstitutional,
then they can never be legally established
if we eoatiano to r?wi?t them. Lot. ui con.
tinue to reeist them. Let ne commence
oaaee ae fast and at often ea they arrive,
and If even after these military constitutions
are framed and organized, and hove oppressed
unwilling peoplo for year#, the
dotirt finally decides the acts authorising
them to he unconstitutional, then, unlike a *
care of onus between belligenenta, every f
thing done under them will he declared c
void?the wicked government* will be die. c
placed, every man who hat administered '
them will be a criminal, and our eyistuig '

?r-r??J1 i Intolerance
of the Pope.
The Pop*, ainoe the departure of the French
troop*, haa become inspired with wow seal for
the aupprcsaion of heresy. While thee were
here there waa toleration of the Proteataht religion
to the following extent: The Aiperican
Church, conducted bj Rev. Mr. Lyman, waa
allowed to moet iu a private huuae. Formally
nor vice waa held in the houae of Ueneral King,
American M in later, but be baring changed hia
residence, and having no room suitable for
holding the service, a large room In a private
J welling waa secured. A Lutheran aud French
svangelical service has been held In the house
of the Prussian Ambassador. A Scotch Presbyterian
service has been held in the house of
pastor, Rev. Mr. Lewis, during the past six
fears. All of these have been held in the city,
while outside the walls an English service has
been held fdr forty years or more.
The French troops bad scarcely left the city
when the police Informed Mr. Lewis that ho
would not be permitted to bold service. Mr.
Ddo Russel, manager of English affairs in tho
Papal dominions, at once called upon Cardinal
Antonelli, to know the meaning of the order,
and waa Informed that all such assemblies
wcro unlawful, and that the law must l>? put
iu force. In other words, it was contrary to
the Popo's wish, for lie is supreme in Rome.?
lie informed Mr. Kusscl that no service would
i>e permitted inside the city walls except under
ho arms and flag of a Foreign Ministei. Engand
having no Minister, Mr. Lewis has been
ibligcd to go outside tho gntcs. I attended

rere pacing in front of the door. A hymn was
ead but the minister said that wo could not
ling it because it would attract tho attention
>f the police, who probably would breik up tho
icrvlco. Rev.- Dr. Peabody of Harvard Unirersity
bold a service in a private room in one
>f tho hotels. No publio notice was given, but
it was whispered from ear to car, just ns cigh:oen
hundred years ago, tho first Christians ot
Ituino gavo tho information of tho holding of
.heir secret meetings under Caligula and Nen\
3ul tho toleration of tho Popo will hardly coin>arc
however with that granted by Nero, when
Paul was here, who " dwelt two whole years in
lis own hired houso and received all thatcauie
into him, preaching tho kingdom of God, and
caching thoso things which concern the Lord
lesus Christ with all coufidenco, no man forlidding
him." So the rule of Nero -stands in
sontrnst to that of Tio Nono. Tho first was a
1'ogan rule; tho last claims to bo a Chris.inn

Cardinal Antonolli infhrmcd Mr. iLisscl that
tho American church would be shut up un~

King has uuido no remonstrance, and I pretutnc,
will offer none, though I think that the
imericans residing here are nearly unnnimous
n their wishes to have biui take such action
is Mr. Marsh took at Constantinople a few
roars ago?demanding and obtaining from tho
sultan not only toleration for American .roislionnrics,
but protection throughout the Tarksb
dominions. What a contrast I Toleration

i ididk mm it u nearly mo unanimous dr.

he United States Government ought not only
o protest against the action of the Pope, but
o demand such toleration as is accorded to

oremost iu everything relating to liberty of
lonscience, religious belief, as well as in main,
aining the rights of men to life, liberty and
he pursuit of happiness, lias not the time
iome for America to ask the Pope to grant to
ho Protestants in Rome the samo liberty that
lomanists enjoy in tho Unltod States? Let
Inneral King call for that concession in belalf
of American eititens and See what tho roily
Will he. Possibly, however, the people of

Farmers' Gardens.
Perhaps there is no one thing connected
with the culture of the soil so badly anil
universally neglected by farmers as Iheii
gardens. How mnny in your neighborhood,
reader, have what may be strictly termed b
' good garden from year to year ? How
many grow an abundant supply of emnl!
f. ui?s for the use of tho family ? How ninny
have asparagus, radishes and salads plentifully,
or at all, early in the season ) melons,

months ; and celery, vegetable oysters, parsnips,
turnips, horse radish, Ac., in the fall,
winter, and early spring? All farmers can
and should have them ; nothing which they
eat is cheaper, moro grateful or healthful
than these, together with the summer
fruits. If we can persuade you to take the
pains, and incur the alight expense neces
ary to their production, we shall be amj ly
rewarded for our labor by the gralitade and
satisfaction which we know those feel who
are de| oudeut on you for support, and who
eat daily nt your table.
Have you a garden spot! iPshould be n
choice piece of land; note large, but rich,
dry, warm, near the dwelling, and enclosed
to prevent the depredations of fowls and
animals. If the soil is poor you have the
means nt hand to make it rich; it heavy ot
wet, thoroughly nnderdrsin it?as it it
amnll you can afford this expense. We re
peat, it need not be large, for a small garden,
well tilled, is much better, and less
Costly, than a large one overrun with weeds,
and cultivated like your fu Ida L*af mould
from the woods, with ashes, iitiie and plaster,
are the best manures you can use, unless
you can spade or plough in deep fine
barnyard manure. This year you should
make a compost lteaj>, and have it on hand
for the next.
If the garden is small, it is best not to
plough, but rather spade. First of all lay
it out well; make a bed or border, as they
are called, four or five feet wide, all round
the outside. Next to this a walk ? then one
or two broad cross walks, and then reserve
I the rest for beds and walks n?

and in our next article we will try and tell

B*lt and Ashes as a Manure.
A correspondent of the Southern Cultl
vator gives the following statement in regard
to the application ofsalt and ashes to
land ns manure:
In 1853 I purchased twenty five busheh
of dirty salt which fell from bacon wbich
was stored in Atlanta, at a o?at of fifteen
oenta per bushel. It coat in Athens twentyfive
eente per bushel. 1 mixed It with ell
the Old leeched ashes that could be collected
ou the lot?the ordinary quantity which
accumulates during the year on a town lot.
This I spread broadest over eight acres ol
thin, coarse, sandy soil, badly worn by
cultivation, but which lisd, in previoui
years, manure applied in the hill.
My recollection ie, that allies, salt and all
made about eight bushels per acre. Tlih
piece (of eight acres) I planted in Corn, foul
feet each way, one stalk to the hill. During
.,L t? ? ?-- L
giuwin, lb w am iic(|urnujr U}
|MiP9 >ns who knew nothing of what wa.
done to the land, on account of the dee|
green color of corn. Many questions wer?
asked about it. Th? season*, I think, wer<
good. I gathered from these eight acrei
fifteen Urge two horse wagon loads of corn
in the shuck?equal, I suppose, to aboul
thirty bushel* pet- nere.
Again, In 1863 or 1864, I planted anotlici
pleca ot land on the oppeaite aide of tin

2 J unlet per hotir, or 320 feet pe$ minute,

in mechanics, "horse power," it being ail
approximation to (be average amount of
continuous power it is fair to demand of a
strong hnrre. If we multiply the weight
raised (160 pound-) by the number of feet
it was moved per miuute (220) the product
will be the number of pounds whbh the
nine power would raise one loot high in
the sumo length of time, (33,000 pounds.)
The dynamometer is an Instrument mode

I simply very strong spring balances, or
. s| ring steelyards, graduated to indicate the
power required to rai*e any weigl^ within
reasonable limit, at the rate of 3} miles per
hour. When we apply the dynamometer
in ascertaining the oraught of machines^ if
the index Indicates 180 pounds it is shown
. that the horse is required to draw just as
hard as he would do if raising 1 60 pounds
out of n well with a rope over a puily ono
foot in diameter at the rate of 2} miles per
hour, and so for oth< r weights.
The velocity at which a team moves is to
lie considered, as well as the weight to be
raised, or the load to he drawn. If the
horse travels faster than 2i miles fier hour,
while raising 150 potfnds out of a well, he
exerts more than one horse power. If ho
walks slower than this he does not exert a
force equal to one horse power.
In ascertaining the draught of a plough
or a mower anl reaper, by drawing faster
than 2J miles per hour, the dynamometer
would indicate more than the correct

On the subject of the diseases of hogs, tlief
last Danville Times publishes a letter from
a Mr. Kemp, who seems to hate had considerable
experience in their management*
He t(iltiks that the prevalent disease this
Winter, tmong hogs, generslly called rttol'
era, is nothing but fever. He classes the
diseases oi hog* thus; measles, fever, mange*
murrlan or leprosy and garget.
He has cured a number afflicted with fever,
or so-called cholera, with the following
preset iption : one tea-epoonfu) of spirit* of
turpentine, on* table Spocnful of castor oil,
and one table-spoonful of sulphur, to b?
