gress, passed March 3rd, 1868. This act is of
course regarded by the state rights party, as,
monstrous 'usmpation" of power by the Govern

would seem to believe, that the United States can
exercise no control over its soldiers In time of war
and insurreetion, other, than that allowed by the
states separately. According to this doctrine an
army of fifty thousand men, more or less, might
IN the face Of an invading foe, be arrested and

committing offences liable to such arrest and trial

precinct is law unto itself, the General
Government recognizing liquor as legiti-
mate article Of traffic and the State losing
large fund by failing to license it's sale.

the State for $4,000, including nearly
$4,000 worth of outside realty belonging to
the bankrupt parties who owed the School
