The M?roll of Empire Tho opinion rendered by the Su preme Court of the United States in certain cases recently brought under its jurisdictkn Bit ikes a severe blow at the very existence of the State governments, is in perfect harmony with the centralizing spirit of the times, and is probably a part and parcel of the stalwart programme. The Cole'* case in Virginia affirms the light of Congress to provide for punishing auy Stato officer in the United Stales Courts for atiylh ng it pleases. The only redeeming aspect is that two of the Justices, Field? and Clifford have delivered dissenting opinions which marks than at once as bold defenders of the liberties of their country against Lhe.vortex of centralization. It is in all probability this reckless inarch of empire which eau.es the astute juris.. Charles O'Connor to cry in desperation for a complete demoli tion of Slate lines.) The old man evidently, with his clear intellectual foresight, sos width- I cr, as a people, we are drifting, and, in h's desperation,he recommend' an acquiescence in what he suppose > the inevitable. '1 he same spirit of despi - ration ucttiaies others who arc clam oring fur 'The man on horseback ' But to us such policy is totally in comprehensible. If we nie right we should never surrender. It is true the clouds of despotism arc thicken ing around u?>, and sectionalism, the grral engine of Giantism, is blinding the minds of the populace, but we don't bcli ? that the spirit of con Elituliou?l liberty >s doad,'j and on r duty is resistance to the march of empire to the bitter end.

As Attorney-General, he distin guished himself as an able thinker and accurate and forcible speaker. He was chosen on all occasions to ieprt-ent his State where statesman ship was needed, und the manner in which he discharged till those impur tant trusts reflect credit upon the pcop'e who ate proud to own him as tlieir represent nti ve.

This being the Case, WO think the wkeVi tbiug the South can do is to acquiesce in ihe Democracy of the North selecting a candidate under whose leadership the cry of section nlisni cannot bo raised.

I he selection we would willingly leave to the Northern Democrats, lor it is not the Presidency but home rule that concerns the South most. Wo have no choice, and care very little who the candidate is, but wo believe that a nominee of the character of Hon.

With such an c pi it (hi corps already generated for youi company, your success is an accomp lished fact. Now it seems to me that the prnc cal view of the modus ol the develop mcnt of your cherished idea of a (ompoiiy is twofold. You Jack a few more names Ho have the comple meat to be mustered in. Every man here, then, should be a recruit'ng scigeant nutil you fill up your mus ter loll. That must be d inc. heartily and atome! As soon as you sire mustered in, your application for it? ins and accoulreiueut'j will i>e con sidcud by the Adjutant General ol the Stale.

YY. M. Mackay has been to Washington whero he reports the cob red people of South Carolina in favor of Grant, and the white lie publicauS in favor of Paine for Presi dent. --?? ? ? The Republicans are making a poor show. They have not mustered up courage enough yet to nominate a State ticket. The favor with which Democratic government is received has confounded their couuei's. Trouble seems to be brew ing in the Democratic camp in Georgia. 11 i I i > Speer, Stephens ami Fellon seem to be arrayed on one side representing the independent element in the party, and Gordon, Cohpiitt and others stand on the strnightoul side. The comedy given in Congress a few days ago by Mr. llazzleton, of Wisconsin, and Mr. Warner, of < >hio, w ho called each other liar and coward and other had names is a disgrace to our civilization. When men gel old enough to get into the United States Congress we think it is a high time to put away childish things. There seems to be some diversity of opinion in the Democratic party of Columbia on the old story of the Convention or Primary system of nominal ion. The Executive Com mittee has decided in favor of the Convention plan, and the Palmetto Yocinan sounds a note of warning that the pr; >ple .vont trust those who don't trust them. A V\ 11 B>.
