CoNTRAsr.--Professnr Hart, in his
admirable address on the "Mistakcs. Of
Educated Men," draws this instructive
contrast between two classes Of men who
are to be met with iu all communities.
He says:
There are two friends, gentlemen of
large mcans, whose estates and whose
annual incomes are about equal. One of
these is always short Of money. Luvs
every thing On credit. and on the longest
credit he can command, often when trav-
elling has to borrow money to take hin,
home. and really has to make ar many
turns and shifts to get along as il he were
roor. All simply because he lives just
twelve months "n the WRONG side Of for
tune. The o'ier. man. whose annual ill
come aud expenses are about The same as
those Of lis neighbour, never has an .p,n
account, buys everything for cash, always
bas plenty Of money iu his pocket, and
plenty inore in bank. and is apparently
without u care in the world. 70 far a.
money is concerned. All simply because
be lives just twlve months on the r;pi,s
side Of his income. The two may Iay.
equal resources. In the course Of ,Leir
lives they spend about equal amounts.
Yet the one lis always poor and harra.seI,
the other always rich, and at his case"

MARTIAL LAW.
Fum the Journal of Commerce.

We have stated the true doctrines on
this subject ut some length heretofore,
but the present is an excellent time for
recalling some of those ideas which in
the exciting days of war are too apt to
be forgotten. The President has reyok.
ed Hunters order. but the question ol
Hunters or the Presidents own power
in the matter remains open. The radi-
cal men. base their notions on All idea
that there is war power" separate
and distinct from the Constitution, un-
der Which a general can do anything -
The idea il fallac Gus, and rests On very
poor authority, unsustaincd BY auy 9th
cr.
It may be +, fated in many ways The true
doctrine may be stated iu two clear pro-
positions.
a. There is no legal power in thi.
country but the Constitution, aud DC
power exists or can exist in General.
in the President, or elsewhere, which
can by proclamation. order or decree.
produce a legal obligation Or annul a
legal right, except under the Cons,itu-
tion.
CD Outside of the Constitution there
may be exerted physical force. by in
dividuals or armics. which may produce
certain effects as the inevitable cousc-
quence Of its exercise; but that force
Gf exercised uncon.t.tu,ioDally or con-
::-:a:y to the Coa>t;tutin"I !: no mo-. !:
legal when exercised Ly a prof.sscdly
loyal than when exercised BY a rebel
force but it is illegal in both cases.
and in both cases the effect ceases With
the power or force which originates
it.
These propositions may seem startling
to radical men. But We are now try
ing a great question TO Wit, the power
and enduranc. Of the Constitution in .
civil war. Conservative men mean 10
prove that power. Radical men propose
to abandon it for an indefinite "war
power" They profess to justify uncon-
siiiutional acts as military necessities fnr
the preservation Of the Union. A good
object never makes legal or jastifes u
wrong act to effect it. Every argument
which proposes to justify General Hun.
ter in proclai,nine or ordering as mill
tary necessity. legal status Or the end
of legal status unconsti,u.ioually, ju.ti-
fies and legalizes the proclanaiious Of JEFF
ferson Davis.
Either the Constitution is the supreme
law to-day in south Carolina. or it has
ceased to be Law there If it has ceas.
ed to be Law. the military authority of
