supreme Allegiance TO the Union.
Wigfal Of Texas, Mason and Hunter of
Virginia, and other Southern Senators, pro.
claimed that they owed allegiance to their
own States, and not to the United States
The same avowal was made BY some South.
ern Senators ten years ago, to whom Clay
responded that his allegiance was due to the
Government Of the United States irst, and
above oil, and that that duty was plainly set
forth in the provision Of tho Constitution
which declares that the Constitution Of the
United States and laws made in pursuance
thereof is the supreme law Of the land, any
thing in the Constitution or laws Of the State
to the contrary notwithstanding.
The New York World says:
1t may not be generally known that the
question respecting the right Of secession has
been already practically adiudicated on the
side OF the Union hy the South Carolina courts
themselves. Ia December, 1888. the Legis.
lature OF South Carolina passed an act re-
qniring that every militia officer should take
81 oath that be would be "faithful, and true
allegiance bear" 20 that State. certain
citizen refused TO take the oath and was pros
ecated. The subject Of allegiance, and to
whom due, under the Constitution OF the
United States, was, upon this occasion, pro-
fonadiy discussed In toe courts, but it was
decided by the supreme judicial tribunal of
the Commonwealth (see in tho case of the
State ps. Hunt, 2 Hips s. G. Rep. ~ that
the citizens owe allegiance to the United
States and unfortunately to the State under
which they live The cosrt therefore held
that the prescribed oath in question was un
constitutional and void, because inconsistent
with.the allegiance OF the citizen to the Fede-
raj Government. And, as the Convention OF
South Carolina, in November, 1892, bad de
clared that the allegiance OF the citizen was
due 10 the State, ana that obedience only
and not allegiance. could be due TO any other
delegated power, the court condemned this
doctrine as ''unsonni and heretica." II
should be remembered that this decision wat
made by the Court Of Appeals, a State and
not Federal tribunal II has never been

Since the conversion Of Brooks OF the
Quincy Herald, the editorial columns OF the
paper have labored with articles to dssuade
preachers from meddling with the slavery
question. At the same time be Is publishing
lengthy communications, the object Of which
seem to be not only to reconcile the people
to slavery, but to justify slavery from the
Bible, and to commend the African slave
trade to our approval, because some Of the
slaves in the South are in better condition
physically and morally than the subjects Of
the King Of Dahomey.
Now we cannot believe that Brooks regards
slavery as morally right, nor that he believes
the slave trade is justified BY certain speci-
fed beneficial results OF the transfer OF ne.
groes from Africa to America. Then, IL be
does think that slavery is morally wrong,
and that the slave trade is amongst tho worst
OF crimes, how can he consciAntionsly AZ d
Christian lend his oolumns day after day to
impress bic readers with views directly op.
posite to bis own innermost convictions?
We doubt not that Mr.. b. is a Christian,
but we think he is in great danger, from the
force Of habit and circumstances, OF commit.
ting himself to the support Of many things
that are wrong in principle and policy, sim
ply because he has supported them hereto.
fore. 1t seems to Us that in order that Aus
tin Brooks as a Christian editor should diff
fer permanently from Austin Brooks as edi.
tor aforetime, he ought to pause and invessi-
gate such great moral questions as these in
the light of the gospel from bis new stand
point.

Shocking Domestic Tragedy.

A most shocking ind heart rending domestic
tragedy occurred on Saturday afternoon, in the
Amelia Omnibus, about twenty miles from this
city, which has seldom had its parallel any
where, and certainly never in this section of
the country. The parties were residents of
Clnclnnatl--Mr. Washington Grsby and wife
who have for some time been boarding at
NO. III Sycamors street, he having been oc-
cnpIed as a sign and ornamental painter. Mrs
GrIsby was young end beautiful woman, to
whom her husband, during the five years of
their welded life, had been most deyotely at
tached, but against whom he frequently har-
bored the most bitter feelings of jealousy,
which, on several occasions led to temporary
separation.
About one year ago, Grisby was led again to
suspect the fidelity of his wife, and a separa-
ton was the consequence. AS usual, however,
the husband soon relented, and sought an inter-
view with his wife, but all was of no avail;
friends demonstrated, but she obstinatey re-
fused again to unite herself with man whom
her whole conduct but too plainly proved she
bitterly detesteG. The husband managed, BY
some strategy, to obtain possession of their only
child, boy about tour years of age. and left
hm with relative, near Amelia, twenty-five
miles from this city, hoping by that means to
induce her to reent; but it was all in vain
her determination was fXed-she would never
see hinA MORE
She, however, resorted to every stratagem
10 discover her child 10 its cOncealment, and
on Saturday last succeeded. She Immediately
secured seat in the omnibus, which was to
start from the corner Of Pearl and Broadway
the following afternoon. Her movements, how
ever, were discovered by her husband, and
when the hour came for the vehicle to leave,
the door opened, and lie stepped in beside her.
On the road he eudeavored again TO reconcile
her to himself, but again all his overtures were
spurned, until when some twenty miles from
the city, and within a short distance of their
destination, he turned to her and said, 81 have
beeu faithful to you, but you nave been false to
me. l loved you, but you loved me net; | was
willing to forgive you, but you have spurned
me: you shall never do it again.
He paused e moment; she made no reply,
but gave him look of contempt and disdain.
lie then drew a revolver from his pocket, and
fired two shots, one ball entering her rlrht eve
and lodging in the brain, and the other taking
effect in the bdOmen and then, without utter
ing word, he discharged the contents of a
third barrel into his own forehead scattering
his brains in all directions, and klliug himself
almost Instantly. The woman, although fatal
| ly wounded, is still alive. The relations of
both parties were sent for, and arrived al the
scene OF the tragedy during the night. Grigs-
by's remains will be inferred at Amelia to-day.
| p. S.-Since the above was written, we
learn that Mrs. Grisby died about eighteen
hours after receiving the wounds. -Cincinnoti
