The Commercial wishes to compliment st.
Xavier's Church, so it gives an extensive
puff of what it calls 'the performance" at
The opening of the church on Sunday, which
is done in the regular job-oflice style of its
theatrical column. 1t states that "the an
nouncement that Beethovens Mass in @ was
10 constitute the music for the service, was
sufficient to fill the church to repletion, al
though the price of tickets was quite high"
This gives the congregation of st. Xavier
credit for musical taste rather at the expense
of their devotion. The Commercial would
have it inferred that without the music the
performance might not have "drawn," even
at much lower figure.
Then we have a brief dissertation on the
composition; then list of the performers,
and then criticism of the performance
which we can not forbear quoting:
"As whole, this difficult mess was we'll
performed; perhaps much better than was
anticipated. Especially was this true of the
hyYte, than which nothing could be finer
The BtnedictuS, however, which constitutes
the gem OF the whole mass was not so fuely
performed. The singers Jagged, and the or
chestra was compelled to accommodate itself
to their slow time, until that which the COM
poser intended to be dndaate became ada0io
This, although blemish, is one almost in
separable from the employment of amateur
singers, in music SO deep as is that of Beeth-
oven. The introduced piece of o Deus ego
Gmo te, was finely sung by Mrs Gerold, who
is possessed of voice of much power and
culture"
We infer that what was praise in the an
dante movement became something quite
the reverse in adGgio. But this is inseparable
from amateur singers in such unfathomably
deep music" 1t is hoped that this falling
off in time, was made up on what the Com
neroidI would probably call the ''home-
stretch" by the o Deus ego amo te. Indeed,
we are somewhat surprised that the Com
meTeidI did not lug in the racing and prize
ring vocabulary, as well as the job office,
musical and dramatic.
We continue our quotations.:
The epistle, the singing of which is con-
fined 10 the clergy, was intoned by the Rev.
T. o Driscoll of Kentucky. Besides the Mass,
1e Deuu, the composition of Father Felix
Weniger, was performed under his leader
ship. We had occasion to speak of the skill
with which this Reverend gentleman wields
the baton, when describing the conservation
of the church of st. Francis, at which this
same piece was sung. =
In the afternoon Pontifcal vespers were
performed by tie same choir and orchestra.
Several other pieces were sung, among them
MGGRifcat, ofthe leaders own composition,
and duet between Mr.. Gerold and the first
soprano, and worthy of commendation."
This effort is eminently worthy of the
Commercials dramatic column, and shows
how the job-Office style runs through every
thing in that concern.

tion to States. At the first session of Con-
gress under the Constitution an amendment
was made that rights not guaranteed by the
Constitution were reserved to the people.
Another was also adopted, which New
York requested, when she accepted the Con-
stitution, that 'powers not delegated by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the
States respectively, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people" And in ad-
dition to all the abrogstion of State sover-
eighty by the assertion of the sovereignty Of
the people, we have the sweeping clause that
'thc Constitution, and the laws Of the United
States made in pursuance thereof shall be
the supreme law Of the land; and the judges
in every State shall be bound thereby, any
thing in the Constitution or laws of any
State to the contrary, Notwithstanding"
The lingo of Secession ignores all this
and talks of Confederation, and of a
Union of sovereign States, as if sovereign
States which had given up their sovereignty
to Union, continued their sovereignty in
the Union.
It was the Southern States that were most
helpless in the Confederacy, and most clam
orous for Union; and now they want to go
back to a Confederacy and repeat their mis-
cradle failure. The Governor of South
Carolina declared officially that that State
was too weak to maintain herself, and unless
Union could be formed by which she could
rely on the Eastern States, she was in dan
ger of relapsing into colonial subsection. So
it will be again if she is allowed to go on in
her folly. She is no stronger now than she
was then, and she recognizes that fact by her
traitorous intrigues with foreign powers for
aid.
The question of the right of the Govern-
ment to enforce its laws is not complicated
by State sovereignty or State legislation. 1t
is simply question between Government
and so many citizens who resist its au-
| thority,

The bill for the admission of Kansas has
finally passed the Senate. It passed the
House previously. We suppose Mr.. Bu-
chanan will not veto it, as he said when
Oregon was admitted none but towards
weie afraid Of our national expansion
that is what he called the admission of Ore
eon-and we know be is not coward.
There's is some gain amid all the losses,
Kansas will Offset, at least, South Carolina.
She hes procured her right to admission
through great tribulation, and has had to
contend against frauds, which even the Ad-
miuistration party were ashamed of. 1t is
hoped that this disturbing question, which
has done so much to keep up sensational
hostility, is now finally disposed of.

sOuth CarolInn as q sovereIrn stnte

South CRrOiinn "a Sovereign State,
South Carolina now affects to regard the
Union as the only drawback to her progress
of greatness She did not always feel so.
She tried State sovereignty under the old
COnfederacy; and in the Convention which
ratified the present Constitution, Charles
Cotesworth Pickney, in answering the op-
position to the ratification, thus acknowl-
edged the weakness oftbe South and of South
Carolina, and her dependence on New En-
gland, which she now affects TO despige, for
her very independence.
Mr.. Pinckney said:
IAN honorable gentleman preceding me
1.-THE Hon. e. Rutledgel alleges that the
Southern States are weak; l sincerely agree
with him-we are so weak, that by ourselves
we could not form Union strong enough
for the purpose of effectually protecting each
other. Without union with the other States,
South Carolina must soon fall. Is there any
one among us so much Quixote as TO sup
pose that this State could long maintain her
independence, il she stood alone, or was only
connected with the Southern States I
scarcely believe there is. Let an invading
power send naval force into the Chesapeake
70 Keep virginia in alarm, and attack South
force as Sir Henry Clinton brought here in
1880, and though they might not soon con-
quer US, they would certainly do us an in
finite deal Of mischief; and if they consider
ably increased their numbers, we should
probably fall. As from the nature of our
climate, and the fewness Of our inhabitants,
we, are VI doubtedly weak, should we not
endeavor 10 form a close union with the
Eastern States, who are strong2 For who
have been the greatest sufferers in the Union,
by our obtaining our independence an
sWer, the Eastern States; they have lost
every thing but their country and their free
dOm.h y" har ~
This touch Of truth decided the question.
The relative Importance of South Carolina
iS much less now than It was them yet she
talks not only Of maintaining her national
Independence, but of cOercing the United
States.

Recently Potter appeared at the benefit of a

The Register speaks thus Of the location
of the new depot for State prisoners:
The telegraph brought our citizens yes
terday the first information that the War
Department had determined, after the prop
er inspection and examination and the pro-
curement Of the proper estimates for the
construction Of fbaildings, TO establish pris-
oners' depot upon the island owned by Mr.
Johnson and lying in Sandusky Bay,
about Q miles distant--north from San
dusky. The island is admirably adapted
for the purpose intended, and contains near
800 acres of land. The part leased to the
Government, or to be leased, lies at the
east end of the island, and includes about
go acres Of cleared land Comfortable
wooden buildings arc to be erected for the
prisoners, and the grounds Immediately
around them are to be enclosed BY a sub.
stantial fence.
Various localities in this region were in
spected; among others, Kelley's island and
Putin Bay island. Land could have beer
procured on the former, but we believe no
an the latter. "Bay Island" as the propri
etor designs TO christen it, was selected
however aud We believe, wisely. Th
buildings are intended TO be constructed b,
