Sketch of the Rebel Captain ,Mafht, Of

Jonn Newland Maffit. the subject of this
sketch, was born in ireland, but, having en1..
lgrated to this country, was appointed to the
United States Navy from the State of Nau,
York He became citizen of Georoia.
and originally entered onr naval service in
the year 1892. His commission bore date
the 25th of February of that wear. Hia
subsequent com mission was dated the 25th
| of June l843, under which he saw II yeara
and eight months of sea service. His total
service was Is years and FIVE months. He
also saw shore or off duty for one year and
seven N onths. For over six years he was
unemployed, making his total service
twspty-six years and five months. He was
last at sea in the year 1858, and was after
wards employed on the Coast Survey, du-
ring which he discovered a new channel in
the harbor Of Charleston, marked on all
our charts and known as Maffifs channel,
after the name of the diScoverer. The
father of Captain Mafit was we'll known
sensation preacher in this city and other
parts of the Union, and created considerable
excitement here by his bold and vigorous
exhortation to crowded assemblies. He
created such fufoF among the woman that
they frequently took off their jewelry to lay
it at his feet as an Offering to the Most
Hight .--....
Young Mafit, while in our navy, was all
ways reputed an accomplished officer
While the Pearce administrator was i'm
power the famous committee of fifteen na~i
val officers who were appointed to sit in
Washington to cut down the navy, threw
over, among others, Lieut.. Maffit. He was
dism issed from the service, but in cpnse-
qnence of his ability as naval officer. ahdJ
the services he rendered to the country
whilst on coast survey, and other important
occupations, he was restored and continued
in our navy until the rebellion broke OUT
when he seeded with other Southern Off,
GERS and united his fortunes to the fate of
the Southern Confederacy. The next thing
we hear of him is in charge of the steamer
Oreto and successfully running the block
ade of Mobile. His crew consisted of but
thirteen men, and. although sick himself, he
was not deferred from attempting the haz-
ardous enterprise. Captain Matfit likes to
prodnce on the ocean the same sen saton in
a different form, which his father used to
prod uce in the pulpit, and if Mr. Seward
Wells does not look sharply after him he
will most certainly produce much discus
sion and sensation his father ever did in
this country.--N. Y. Herald.

REvoLTING fellow named
Hills, who disgraces the Ohio Legislature,
and halls from the county of Medina, is said
to have declared, few daRs ago. in that
body, that ''HE HAD. RATHER BE NEGRO
THAN A DUTCHMAN." E
No one disputes ths-fellow's rigN to be
negro rather than ,Oljte man, provided he
prefers both. the color and the scent; but the
honest Germans ofthe country have also q,
right to Vote against any party in which such
a revolving sentm ent shall be cherished, and
they will be very apt to do5it,a in fdture!-
This Hills, we have no doubt, is one of the
little mo1e-hH of thecountry, whoimagines
that he has grown to be mountain. since
worming bis way into the Ohio Legislature.

and doomed to associate with the Ethopisns

SAVANNAH DEEMED SEcURE.-The editor
of the Savannah News made an excursion
to Fort jackson and several of our river
batteries, aud was highly gratified at the
high condition of preparedness in which he
found them. Since the river defenses have
been placed under the immediate command
of Col. Edward Anderson, the editor says
that not only have M any improvements been
made in the works Themselves, greatly In
creasing th cir strength and effectiveness, and

THE ARABS GIFT.-A poor Arab was
travelling in the desert, when he met with
spring of clear, sweet sparkling water
Accustomed as he was to brack sh wells, to
his simple mind it appeared that such water
as this was worthy of monarch; and filling
his leatheru bottle from the spring he deter
mined to go and present it to the Caliph
himself. -.,.'7 si- -. szass.
The poor man travelled considerable
distance before he reached the presence of
his sovereign, and laid his hum BILE Offering
at his feet. The calipb did not despise the
little gift brought to him with SO much
trouble. He ordered some of the water to
bs poured into cup. and thanking the Arab
with a smile, ordered him to be presented
with reward. a-s'' Is sz7- 80 81 -
The courtiers around pressed forward. ca
ger to taste of the wonderful water, but to
the surprise of all. the ealiph forbade them
to touch single drop. 80
After the poor Arsb had quilted the royal
presence with light and joyful heart, the
caliph turned to his courtiers, and thus ex-
planned the motives of his conduct.
During the travels of the Arab said he.
the water in his leathern bottle had bseom g
impure and distastefull But it was noffer-
ing OF love, and as such received it with
pleasure. But we'll knew that bad suf-
fered another to partake of it, he would not
have concealed his disgust; and therefore I
forbade you to touch the draught, lest the
heart of the poor man should have been
wounded. . -.--- ~
All that sinners can present to their King
is like the water brought by the Arab,
though like him We may fancy it worth the
acceptances of our Lord. But he will not
reject-he will not despise the little offering
of love and faith; for he has promised that
even cup of cold water, given in the name
of disciple shalIin no wise lose its reward

Mr.. EDTToR:-AlloW me in reply to these
mendacious persons, who dare to assert thai
the President's'late proclamation can be Con-
stitutionally sustained, to quote few pas
sages which lately attracted my attention
while reading Bsnton's "T Thirty Years in the
| Senate" -" 's.- sf +Ste -
At the first Congress which assembled
after the adoption of the Federal Constitu-
ton and under its authority the following
resolution was reported to the House of Re-
representatives., by special committee con-
sisting OF one Southern and six Northern
men. and was passed.: .-f
"ResoIUed, That Congress has no authority
to interfere in the emancipation of slaves. or
in the treatment of them in any of the
States: tt remaining toith the several States
ALONE to provide rules and regulations there
IN, which humanity and true policy may re-
quire." 81 . ao
And Daniel Webster, in the Senate, In
1929, while commenting on this resolution,
said: ~ r t..a .l.,y.12a. "5is
"Of the members then composing the
House OF Representatives, large majority,
nearly two-thirds, / believe, were Northeru
men. The Honse agreed to insert these
resolutions in its journal, and from that day
to this, it has never been m Maintained or con-
tended thvt Congress had any authority to
regulate or interfere with the condition of
slaves in the several States" (Benton's
Thirty Years. View, vol. 1, p. 1877 and 138
No proof more conclusive could be reduir-
ed, of the hagrant unconstitutionality of the
late proclamation Of Abraham Lincoln, than
the resolution above cited-adopted as it
was, not by partisan Congress such as now
sits at Washington, but by wise, deli 5erate,
dignified Legislative Asse mbly, where sat
the authors of that Constitution, of whose
meaning they were the appropriate ex-.
Founders.
Against the practice of fintermeddling with
the institutions of the South, practice
which is largely responsible for the present
war Webster stood firmly on the record
in the speech above quoted from. be said:
where l found it, in the hands of their own
governments. It is their afair-not mine"
And he also exolaim ed, 81 go for tn Coust-
tuition as it is and for the Union as it is"
Thus showing that he stood as firmly in
opposition to the doctrine of "higher law"
and to the pernicious theory that the law of
necessity is superior to the Constitution of
the United States. or, in other words, that
what one man, and he perhaDs a bigoted
partisan, chooses to proclaim as necessary is
the law paramount of the land-doctrines
which have hurried our dear country to the
verge of destruction, and which cannot save
her toppling over the precipics.
The specious plea of necessity Is the moss
grown rock on which many republics have
been shattered. May ours not add to the
number. j. C. w.
