The PrerogaiIves Ofstate Courts.

In these times when all are anxious to
know the extent Of the protection which
State courts are cOasHtutiOHdlly empowered
TO extend against all mdnner Of outside du-
hOrity it may be OF satisfaction to have il
set before them as it is thus luoidly and cor
reetly pronounced by Judge Paddock Of
Cincinnati;
THE right and duty Of the State to inquire
into the illegal Imprisonment OF the citizen,
is among the FIRST and most eminent Of its at
tributes and no one OF the States or other
wise ever diyested itself Of this power The
State courts according to the Supreme Court
of the United States, have the right and
power to declare the acts OF Congress anC
the judgement Of the United States Court
void, and that, too, on habeds corpus

The Testimony OF the Dead

In the beginning Of this struggle between
the North and South, there were thousands
of Democrats who favored war, but who
now are earnest advocates of peace. They
were war Democrats, accepting the pro-
fessons made by the Administration and
the positive declaration of Congress that
the war should be prosecuted on the part
of the Government simply and exclusively
for the enforcement Of the laws and the
restoration Of the Union upon the old
Constitution. The leader of this class of
Democrats was the illustrious and lament
ed STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. Mr.. DOUGLAS
had labored with all his ability in the
United States Senate TO avert war and
save the Union by compromise, and only
after the Inauguration of hostilities, did he
announce his determination TO stand by
the Government in the prosecution of th'
war, believing, as he did, that the Admin
istration would be limited by the Consti
tuition. 1t was urgei, however, that tn,
war would be perverted from its originally
declared object and waged for the destruc
tion Of slavery instead of the Unions res
toration. In response to this assertion
which has since been clearly verified, Mr.
| DouoLAs said in his Springfield speech
but a short while before his death
~ will never sanction or acquiesoe in an
warfare whatever upon the constitutions
rights or domestic institutions Of the people O
the Southern States. Applause On tn
contrary, il there was an attempt to inyad
those rights, TO stir up serVie insurreetio
among their people, | would rush to thei
rescue, and interfere with whatever q
strength might possess, to defend them tror
such calamity"
Such is the language of the great states
man who has been so often erroneousl
quoted by the Republican party, as en-
dorsing their own position. Since tn
death of DOUGLAS, the entire war policy
the Administration has been changet
From war ostensibly made for IL
Union, this has become mad stiiI
against the constitutional rights or dc
i mestic institutions of the people of Il
South :" and we believe that we

RgThe Republicans complain that the
civil law is not properly enforced in this
county because the civil offices are held by
Democrats. The complaint is a very un-
Just one. Some Of the most important
aud effective offices in the county are oc-
cupied by men Of their own party
who are not more prompt or faithful in the

less: for all the officers, so far as we have

Superstitious Predictions Of Peace.
The Fredericksburg correspondent Of
the Tallahassee Flvridian tells the following
strange story:
While speaking Of peace, there is legend
connected with spring near Fredericksburg
which / will relate Tor the benefit of the
curious: According to tradition, this spring
was discovered running three months
before the Revolutionary war. Three months
before treaty Of peace it dried up and
ceased to run. It commenced running again
three months before the war Of 1813,and
three months before its close as in the Rev
dictionary war, it again dried up, and SO
with the Mexican war Three months
before the fall Of Fort Sumpter it again
commenced running, and short time since
dried up. give as my author for this an
aged man who was born and is living near
the spring and who has considerable prop.
erty, offers to bet it al that We will have
peace in three months from the drying up
of the spring.

against the copperheads. He made speech
at stamford last Wednesday evening, which
is the abIcst exposure of the absurdity Of
the Copperhead hiss of "Peace." which has
yet been made from the Democratic point

JUST previous to his death, Gen. Sumner
stated that he had been allowed an insight
into the plans for future military and naval
operations, which gave him higher conf
dence in the certainty of the speedy and
complete restoration Of the Union and the
und'sputed sway CT the Constitution, than
he had felt at any previous time since the

The Stars or our Banner.

James T. Brady, in a recent speach,
alluded to visit to room in the Vatican
at Rome, upon the ceiling of which the
flags Of all nations were to be seen. He
looked them over from the oldest to the
youngest. When he saw the Stars and
Stripes, he asked himself the question, why
it was that our fathers were the first to pu,
stars on their flag? The only answer thu,
could be given was that our fathers looked
up to God for help, that they saw the stars
and planted them in our banner.

lhe Three II undred Dollar Clause OF
the Consumption Law.


The d'sloyal Press have generally made
an effort to create spirit OF resistance to
the Consumption Law, by assailing that
clause Of it which allows exemption from
personal service on payment of 4 sum not
exceeding $500. They declaim against il
as intended to exempt the rich, while the
poor will be forced into the service. and
seem to be determined so to work on tho
passions and prejudices of the poorer class
es as to iDcite them to a revolution against
the enforcement Of the Law. In some
cases, as for instance the Cincinnati Enou;-
rer, the dangerous results likely to ensus
from such teachings have become so obvious
that they have been forced to abandon this
reckless tampering With a revolutionary
element. But the evil already wrought is
not small, and should be counteracted 4,
much as possible.
This can only be done by an explanation
Of the real PURPOSE and working Of the oh.
'ox'ous clause, and by some systematic Of.
tort to alleviate its practical operation. Il
can not be too often insisted on that .nv
Conscr'pt Law which did not allow of sub.
st'tutes would be intolerably severe. No
power short of absolute despotism could
enforce it. And there has been hardly An
instance In history where such q law Ia.
been enforced, never certainly among a peo.
pie enjoying anything like free institu-
tons.
Substitutes being NECESSARILY allowed j.
there are but two methods Of procur;,o
them, one by the individuals drafted tho
other by the Government. BY the first
method the rich can easily get substitutes
