ODAVeodona alluded to in the
lltfer wore State Conventions, which
It had been propoaed to call on several
Of the Southern States to assert their
State Independence of the Confederate
Government, which It wat thought had
overridden and trampled upon State
aovaraigntr. The latter is carious as
showing to bow great a degree, even
under the extreme pressure of war,
feaMy of the Confederate leaders re
mained merely political philosophers
- and were Incapable of political states-
tnaushlp. Jell. Davjs and those who
- ruled with him at Richmond were
4 undoubtedly practical men and saw
that war meant war and necessitated
the use of all the forces attainable,
under a single head; bat Governor
Magrsth’s queer notion seems to have
been that consistency in doctrine is
better than snooess In the single object
desired, and that snccets was, in feet,
imperrilled by the union of forces, and
might have been attained by each State
acting for Itself.
Such men as Governor Magrath had
so steeped their minds in the queer
and anarchical doctrine of State indo-
pendenee that they could see nothing
alas. They were as ready to secede
from the Confederacy as they had i>ccn
to aeooda from the Union, and he
Would no doubt have acknowledged
the right of a county of Sonth Caro
lina to aeeede from the State and set
up independently. Southern men of
praetleal minde reading such a letter
us this of Governor Msgrath’s must
now smile to think what absurdities
and anarchy they escaped whan the
rule of this extrordinary sect of politi
cal philosophers wore oVerthrown. If
they wlH compare the actions of the
Federal and the Confederate Govern
ments daring the war they will see
also that the real and important rights
of tho Northern States were much less
Invaded and roach more carefully re
garded than those of the Southern
States by the Davis Government, and
that the vitally important principle of
aetf government was held more sacred
and preserved with far greater care in
ihe North than In the South during the
war. That is the undoubted truth.
It was only after the war ami when so
many Republican leaders had become
intoxicated with tlieir success end cor
rupted by their secret and illegal gains,
that they violated that policy In the
Southern States. Governor Magrath’s

of Inoonteatable correctness that the

The fe
fti notions of a
judgo are transferred to some military
officer, and the course of jastice is
closed by the denial to A magistrate of
the {tower to inquire into the cause of
a commitment. Arrests are made by
onler, detention is secured by com
mand, and a power more gigantic than
any crownea head in Europe would
exercise is presented t<
means by which wo are to ensure suc
cess in a struggle to establish a free
Government.
U is thus that wc have dried up the
openings from which new courage and
fresh impulse could have been given
to our people in this protracted contest
in which trtey have been engaged. Wo
taught them to know their States as
their country, and in the defense of
that country we have blotted out and
hidden from their view those States
which are that conntry. Unhappily
for ns, the lapse of time, which has
but served to multiply the cases in
which the State Governments have
acquiesced in tills wide departure from
the standards of right and justice, have
also so mnch increased the dangers of
defeat and so much intensified the
desire for repose that it will require
something of firmness to sustain the
8tate Government in its proper posi
tion. Bnt if there is difficulty, and
however great that difficulty, it is to
he more than counterhalanceu by tho
plain truth.that it is only by restoring
tho State Governments to tlieir proper
condition that onr success in this war
can be secured. Unless military suc
cesses shall giro to it now life the
cmHt of the Confederate Government
is gone; with the loss of its credit, its
resource* of course are also gone.
Fortunately, the credit of the State is
maintained. The question Is, there
fore, looming up directly before us.
Hliall (tie Confederate Government ad
minister our credit as it lias our sup-
[ ilics and warlike appliances which wo
lave given to it? I may well suppose
that to this proposition there will bo
hut one answer: if so, it will furnish
tho occasion, and that, according to all
probability, not far distant, when we
must understand lietter than wo have
done the relations of the State to the
common Government at Richmond. If
I look forward to this or any other
circumstance which is likely to bring
us back to our true position, it is be
cause in that position alone can I ttml
assurance of our certain success. We
will *have men enough to make an
army able to win our deliverance; we
still have resources sufficient to carry
us safely through all our difficulties.
But wo tiave no more men to lose; wo
Itave now no resources to waste; the
States, as States, arc to fight out this
bloody war. They arc the realities of
this grand drama; all else Is but the
appendage.
it is (lie political condition of each
State which is to be won or lost. It is
tho life, liberty and property of tho
citizens of each ot those States which
are slaked upon the issue of the con
test. If we save these we hare the
boinuion Government those States have
framed. And those States are held
together, not because (iiey have so
written and signed, but because thev
id sigi
recognize in all of tlieir relations the
evidence of a common destiny. Let us
not forget in dealing with this gnat
war that we tind our strength in the
comprehension of the flreat principles
of human conduct and action. I have
been led away by the considerations

A Talk With 0®*»ru»r Macnrtk.
Judge Magrath, the author of the
letter to (Governor Vance, is living in
Charleston. He has not taken an ac
tive part in politics since the war. A
reporter for tho ATews and Courier
called on him and asked him if ho
could be “interviewed’’ in regard to
the article ptiblisfied in tho New York
Herald. Judge Magrath said: “Why,
1 am not in politics now, and von are
digging np a political corpse.” When
tola that the Herald had invaded the
cemetery in this instance and that the
News and Coim'er wished to give his
side of the story, Judge Magrath said:
“The truth of the matter is juat this:
You have brought the letter to my at
tention and I have read it. It fully
expressed the sentiments and opinions
that I entertained at tho time it was
written. Under the like circnnistauces
at this day I would entertain and ex
press the same opinions. Tho idea
opuih
that I ever intended to express an
opinion that the relation of a county
to a State was at all like that of a State
in its sovereign capacity either to the
Confederate Government or the Gov
ernment of the United States, was one
that onlv could be entertained by him
who had no conception of what was
the relation of a State to a General
Government nnder a written Consti
tution, which declares that every pow
er not granted by that Constitution to
the General Government was a right
reserved by the State to itself in its
sovereign capacity; that the Constitu
tion was a limitation upon the powers
of the General Government, ana, only
so far as those powers were expressly
granted, did it give power to the Gen
eral Government. These were doc
trines entertained by the people of this
State at the time of its secession. They
were fundamental and had come down
to ns from the creation of the Govern
ment.
“it was for the purpose, among oth
er things, of maintaining the rights of
a State that the State of South Caroli
na aud other seceding States resolved
npon a separation of the Unioiu, be
cause in the continuance of that Union
they believed that these rights were
bring imperilled by the constant en-
croachascnti made upon them. The
same conviction of the necessity that
existed to preserve these rights at the
time of the secession of the State con
tinued to exist in foil fores after the
State bed seceded, and the rights of
the State, as a sovereign State, were
matters to me of paramount eonsidera-
tion after the State seeeded and daring
the war quite ea mnch aa thev had
hew before the State seceded. I bed
the

eai
the
wnev of these States to tlieir utmost
»pacify, ft was necessary that the peo
ple of toe different States should feel
that
they were contributed by
States, each being seen red in the
the
foil
enjoyment of Its rights to that end, be
cause of the danger to which they had
receded from the United States. I be
lieved that the people, in each - State
should continue to feel as they felt
when thev lied seceded—that they
wore the citizens of a sovereign State,
end that to support that State os such
they would freely surrender all their
resources whether of toon orot money.
And I did not believe that there was
snch a thing possible as coercing the
people of a State to surrender every
thing that they had under the gnise of
enabling them to bo free, I did not
think that mere coercion would give
that support (or (lie successful issue of
the contest that was to be found in the
free will of the people in whose behalf
the war was being waged.
“Any snch idea (list any other pur
pose was Intended than to cement more
closely and firmly the resources and
the destinies of the seceding States to
the end of a successful Issue in the con
test, would be a curions misunder
standing of me In the position I occu
pied.
“The immediate occasion of com-
municating with the several Governors
was because 1 was satisfied that the
temper of the people should be pre
served Just a* it was when tho war was
commenced, and for that purpose that
the eau-cs, wldch 1 had supposed were
to a certain extent i}fi'ecting that tem
per, should be removed. It was for
the purpose of combining tho opinions
of these Governors as to the proper
mode to be adopted in having objec
tionable fnntter* relieved, that their
opinions ami co-operation was asked—
asked not for the purpose of weaken
ing the adhesion of the Stales to the
Confederate Government, but for the
purpose of making their bond of anion
under the Confederate Government as
strong as it could {xtssibly be mode by
uniting tlieir affections for their Slates,
aud their interests as citizens, with
unlimited confidence in the General
Government of the Confederate States.
“I do not aud did not at any time
question the honesty of the pur|K>sc»
of Mr. Davis and those who were near
him, but I thought they were making,
or allowing to be made, weaker and
weaker, the sources from wldch
strength could be drived to continue
the war, and that remonst.iance to that
effect would lie heeded when made by
those who were as earnest as any men
in the seceding Stales could be and
had devoted themselves to the success
of the purpose of their scver.d State*
in their ordinances of secession."
Take Care ef Ike Body.
The Christian Index, the leading
organ of the Baptist Church in the
South, published in Atlanta, Ga., in its
issue of December 4, 1884, has tho fol
lowing editorial:
Too many people seem to think that
a religions newspaper should be con
fined to the discussion of moral and
religious subjects only, forgetting that
religion has to do both with the bodies
and soul* of men. “Prove all tilings,
hold fast that which is good,” has as
much to do with the practical side of
life as it has with the moral side. Our
readers w ill bear testimony tliat in all
questions discussed in Um* Index, the
practical has been duly set forth, in
this paragraph, therefore, we only
seek to present an article worthy of
commendation. After subjecting it to
the above test we have tried Swift's
Specific and found it good—good as a
blood purifier, good as a health tonic.
In this opinion w c arc sustained by
some of the best men in the church.
Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, the Nestor of
the Baptist denomination in Georgia,
says: “It Is my deliberate judgment
that Swift’s Specific 'is the grandest
blood purifier ever discovered. Its
effects are wonderftil, and I consider
them almost miraculous. There is no
medicine comparable to It.” Dr. H.
C. Hornady, one of the best known
ministers in ourchnreb, says: “Swift’s
Specific is one of the best blood puri
fiers in existence.”
These brethren speak advisedly But
few preparations can bring forward
snch endorsements. The Index de
sires only to 611001*80 these statements.
Wo have witnessed the beneficial
effects of this medicine, not only in
our own households, but in several
other cases where seemingly all other
remedies had failed. It is purely a
vegetable compound, scientifically pre
pared, and perfectly harmless in its
composition. It renews Die blood aud
builas un broken down systems—gives
tone and vigor to the constitution, a»
well as restores the bloom of health to
tho suffering. Therefore, we do nat
deem it inconsistent with duties of a
religious journal to say this much in
its behalf.

ing great gains and profits,” asked that
8100,000 be awardeti him as compensa
tion for his losses.
After repeated efforts for delav on
the |Mirt of the counsel of the injured
Maximilian tho case was forced to
argument before Judges McKennan
and Butler, of tlws United States Conrt,
on April 30, 1884. Counsel for the
Times argued that no Uonrt would
lend its aid to a man who founded his
cause of action upon an immoral or an
illegal act and who was “seeking to
spread Ids pestilential business in this
and in ot tier States of the Union, in
open and confessed contempt of the
laws which he defies ”
“It is not necessary to hear anything
more from the connscl for the defend
ant,” said Judge McKeunnn, in sus
taining tlic demurrer. “Ilia (the
plaintiff’s) business here is not entitled
to any protection whatever. It is not
onlv unlawful, but it Is worse. It is
an infamous crime. Is it jtossible that
a business stigmatized by the law of
Pennsylvania cannot be so character
ized here by the editor of a newspaper
or any other citizen, notwithstanding
the fact that tho business may be law
ful in Louisiana? Is it possible that
the citizens of Pennarlvama may not
express their approval of the laws of
PennsfIvunia? It seems extraordina
ry, after Congress has said that a man
who conducts such a business as the
one now in question ought to go to the
|>enitentiary, that a citizen dare not
express Ids opinion or approval of a
law on tho books. We will say that a
man is not amenable to the laws of
Pennsylvania for characterizing this
business as a robbery ”
Editorially the Times remarked the
next day, in referring to ti»e case:
“Max Dauphin, the defeated plaintiff
in the $100,000 libel suit against the
Times, has fared wall by escaping with
the costs and trouble of his suit. The
laws of Pennsylvania, as well as the
laws of the United States, declare him
and his business to be lawless, and the
judgment of the Pennsylvania law
would not onlv fine him, but also
dress 1dm in prison garb and put him
behind prison bars for pursuing the
calling that lie asks the Times to pay
for measurably destroying. There was
eminent fitness iu Ids selection of this
journal as the one tliat has most im
paired his lawless profits, ami there
was eminent fitness in the Times send
ing Max to loin the more than a score
of public thieves and swindlers of vari
ous grades, wlio have honored it by
uniformly unsncoestftil libel suits and
prosecutions. We promise Max, liow-
ever, that if he will only oblige us by a
friendly visit to Philadelphia lie shall
have free food and raiment for an in
definite period at Movamensing in
compensation for his failure to recover
his coveted $100,000 from the publish
ers of this paper. He may not regard
tlie proffered hospitality aa of the most
inviting sort, but it is the beat tbe law
will allow under the circumstances,
and the Times is always for tew aua
for its impartial enforcement, and for
the swiftest and justest punishment of
every shade of lawless swindlers. Call

The Grant retirement bill has been
generally discussed by members of the
House, and it was developed that the
Edmunds bill would have strong oppo
sition because of the feet that it names
no one, but gives the President the
wer to appoint anv one. The truth
. , the Democratic leaders, maiiv of
them, arc not disposed to let tbe Presi
dent down so easily as tbe Edmonds
hill does from bis position on tbe FHx
John Porter bill. They are deter
mined that if a bill is to be passed at
all it shall be ons with Grant’s name
on it. Then the President will either
be compelled to veto the bill, to be
consistent with the Porter veto, or
will have to back squarely down from
his position on that measure. If he
adopts the latter alternative a Grant
retirement bill will bo introduced and
passed bv the Forty-Ninth Congress,
along wfth a bill restoring Fits John
Porter to rank and pav, and both will
get Mr. Clevetend’s signature. Some
of the leading Democrats will there
fore urge that tbe first retirement bill
in which Grant is named shall be
passed on the first suspension of the
rules day, which is the first Monde
February, and thus put
Arthur to the test. Repulicaus say
that if this is done the President will

The reporter Interpolated a gaap of
wonder in toe barber's stream of eon-

"If yon want a Mother Hubbard
whisker.” continued tbe knight of the
raaor, “keep your sides and chop whis
kers cut short down to within an inch
and a half of your chin, where you let
them grow long. T^en train and trim
this long part into tbs shape of an in
verted half-moon; fix the long ends so
that they point about for your armpits,
and vou’to got a Mother Hubbard
beard. They are the swell thing among
the London dudes for this winter.”
"Are full beards to be the fashion

“That’s about the siie of it I guess
I hare had more youngp fellows asking
me about how long their beards would
take to grow, whether I had any in rig
ors tor to help out tbe hair Just below
the Hpa, or how to train end part whis
kers, than I aver had before. Here’s a
French arrangement I got in a week
ago for training beards when they are
starting,” taking something resembling
a David's sling mads of rubber from
the ahelt “I have sold ten of them
since they got here from New York.”
“How de they work?”
“The rubber, you see, is made to fit
the chin and jaw. That seam in the
middle goee right np and down where
you want your beard to part. When
man use* this ho must first put a little
wax on his chin whiskers when they’re
about one inch out and then fit that
seam down the middle of his chin and
throat- When he goes to tie those
strings behind his bead the rubber
stretches and pulls beck the hair so
that it sets towards his care, lust in the
right shape for a dude whisker. If
fellow follows these directions for five
or six nights he will have the hair on
bu face fixed so that it won't neec
hauling, and pulling, and brushing into
shape. Besides, a man by using this
ean look respectable with only a two-
weeks' growth on his face, and his
beard will appear to be a full-growth
cut back.”
“I should think that the strain on
man's chin would be too tiresome for
tbe machine to be practicable.”
“Oh, no. Just put one on for a few
nights in succession and you can sleei

You get the habit of pulling and twist

’em, and you will never get over it.
You’ll keep on pulling ana twisting til
you split the hair out at the ends, am
then your whole board will get raggec

“What did you mean when . you
