Constitutional Powers.

The ready charge of the Democratic oppo-
sition to every measure for the national de-
tense, or for such a settlement of the war as
will secure permanent peace, is that it is un-
constitutional. l. means simply that tie
Democratic party is opposed to it. But many
of our people have been led by this continual
accusation to believe that our Constitution is
a clog upon the public defense, and that there
fore it is necessary to resort to the supreme
law of the public safety, or military necessity,
to meet the exigencies Of civil war.
The public safety is the supreme law but
the written law was made in conformity
Herewith, and we will do well not to pro-
nounce it imperfectly made until we are Ger
tain that it will not warrant the things that
are necessary to be done. 1t was hasty
conclusion in this matter that led General
BANKS to make that unfortunate declaration
in Louisiana, that Martial law is the funda-
mental law of the State" The fundamental
law in all the jurisdiction of this Government
is the Constitution and laws of the United
States. The existence of local governments
is not essential to their virtue. Where State
governments do not exist, the Constitution
and laws of the United States are adequate
to supply their place. In their jurisdiction
martial law can only be a temporary resource :
it can never be the fundamental law.
OF the same character is the idea that the
Government of the United States exists only
BY the existence OF the State Governments,
and that these must be kept up, either in fact
or in legal fiction, or the General Govern
ment will fall to the ground. Yet we do not
see in the Constitution that the General Gov
ernment makes any requiremets Of the
States, or ask any permission OF the States
Their constitutional existence is simply as so
many unequal election districts, entitled to
unequal representation, according to popula-
ton, in one House of Congress, and to equal
representation, according to population, in
the other. As Mr.. Madison said in the Con-
stitutional Convention, they are merely polit-
ical corporations, subject to the national
sovereignty.
They may exercise local government, sub
ject to the supervision Of Congress, which Is
required to guaractee to each State a repub-
lican form Of government; and subject to the
general provisions which guarantee freedom
ofspeech and Of the press habea' corpus trial
by jury, and that no person shall be deprived
offfe liberty or property without due pro
cess of law; alI Of which Congress has the
sneciic right to see executed, and which, IN
the lapse of the local governments, oompre-
bend all that is requisite to protect persons
property and all the civil relations Of society,"
There is an idea of a similar character, that
unless we keep up the State Governments,
either in fact or fiction, we shall recognize
the secession Of the States From this we
have on one side Of the claim that the rebel
population should be allowed a free election

Publishers.

UNDER this head, we find the following
paragraph in the last Ohio Falmer The
question with which it concludes will strike
everybody as being pertinent and apprOpri-
ate:
1t has always bean hobby OF the lawyers
who oOngregate in the character of Ohio Leg
islators, to make laws which shall fix and re-
strict the fee of the newspaper publisher for
fulfilling his part as agent for clients in court
that is, publishing the legal advertisements.
But we have looked in vain for the law, en-
acted by these lawyers, that fixes and regula-
tes the fee of the lawyer who is simple an
other agent for clients. A man going into
court in certain cases, must, as steps neces-
sary to insure hearing, employ a lawyer
and printer-will Mr. Legislator please tell
US why the propriety of leaving the one IN
trammeled to charge whatever he pleases,
while the other is carefully hedged around
with enactments2

That RsscsHy Private.

A CORRESPONDENT writes from Hilton
Head:
One day a soldier went into store at Hill
ton Head with TWO bottles. One was filed
with sweetered water, and the other he wish
ed to get filled with whisky. He got his
whisky, and placing it in his pocket, said:
Mr.. R., you can charge this to me till
come around again.
Can't see it, said the shop keeper. Give
me back that whisky.
The soldier produced the bottle of water,
and, after getting the empty bottle, made
tracks for the camp with his quart OF whisky
safely slowed away in his pocket.
Soon, an officer visited the store, and call
ed for quart of whisky. The store-keeper
gave him the soldiers quart; but the officer
tasted the stuff, and said it was devilish weak
for whisky, whereupon the merchants face
grew long, and after investigating the case,
found he had been sold by "tha; rasoally pri-
vate."
An old trick; but it worked successful in
this instance.

Egyptian infant, and was supposed to be
dead. When she came into my family
her infant was left with her aunt, and
died. A few months ago the husband
returned, found his child dead, and his
wife in service, and came to my house in
great wrath, to claim her She was ex-
ceedingly frightened, clung to me for
protection, and implored to be allowed to
remain with US. The husband said that
he could not do without a wife, that she
had cost him in dowry and clothes four
guineas and half, and thathe must have
her back.
"She has cost you, I said "four guir-

"With the utmost pleasure" he ans

peated in their presence the formal words:

"If she was mother two years ago."
I asked, "when was she married ?''
"When she was between ten and elev-

Ladies' See This.

The Paris correspondent OF the London
Court Journal, in letter dated January 18th,
describes the last Partisan fashion of wearing
the hair
The hair no longer hangs Ia GTecque on
the neck behind, but is brought forward, and
threatens all offenders in helmet fashion on
the summit of the head. "The promissory
organs" as the satirists of phrenology, de-
nominates those low down towards the nape
of the neck, and which have hitherto been
e)ucealed by the hair, now stand revealed in
all their ugly iudiScretion. 1t IS horrible
thing to relate, but the truth must be told
The parting runs all along the top Of the head
without any straight line in 'front.' and the
short frizzy curls around the brow have re-
placed the noble looking bandeaux drawn
back from the forehead, and showing the
good bumps" to the best advantage. l. it
any consolation to learn that the fashion has
been imposed by the hair-dressers themselves,
for we search in vain for any great name con-
nected with its introduotion2 The matter
was put to vote, so we understand, at the
last Assembly of Coifeurs hele at the Sale

DIARRHEA AND DYSENTERY.-We have eX-
amined a great number OF letters from some
Of the most citizens Of Cincinnati and Coving-
ton, ETC., speaking in the highest terms Of
DR.. Strickland's Anti-Cholera Mixture for the
cure Of diarrhOea and dysentery. The letters
are too long to publish. Mr.. Woods, Of Gov
ington, says he was pronounced incurable BY
the best doctors in Cincinnati, and one bottle
Of DR.. Strickland's AnLi-Cholera Mixture Ell
ected 4 permanent cure after suffering for
months with tho worst form Vi disTrhOea aud
dysentery.
Another saws ne was discharged from the
United States service after suffering IN the
hospital for months as lncurable, and as
last resource tried Strickland's Antl-Cholera
Mixture he got well directly and has now en-
tered the army again IN good health. One
man writes he has cured seven or eight very
bad cases Of diarrhoea and dysentery IN the
barracks he was il with one bottle OF this
valuable medicine. In fact we could ill halt
our paper with similar items nom these let
ters. Why does not our Government secure
this valuable preparation. Our army ought
to be supplied with it. It Is but short time
since one Of our men laid in very low con-
dition at one of our Cincinnati Hospitals, his
wife was sent for, his doctors considered his
a homeless case. She however, gave him
Strickland's Anti Cholera Mixture, and in
three weeks he was able to return home with
his wife to New Richmond, o. All these
cases right at home speak for Themselves
We hope all the soldiers will put bottle OF
it in their knapsacks, it may save them or
some of their comrades. 1t is Tor sale by az

EDITORIAL,
The Revolution and its Avowals.


THE reader will carefully note the po-
sition taken in the following article,
which is copied from the Cincinnati Ca
zette, of March Sd, 1865. That paper
has always been leading organ in the
Revolution now in progress for the final
suppression of the States, except as amere
election districts" John Marshall was
wont to say, and all the Supreme Court
with him, that the Union and the States
had their separate power, each defined
by grant-and that neither could exer-
else the powers which had been separ-
ately given to the other. But here it is
avowed that /" the States may exercise 10
cal government subject to the supervision Of
Congress 9"-aud that if they do not
maintain local government, it is the duty
Of Congress to do it! That the Congress
may declare what shall constitute quo
rum and that State need not be count
ed, if the majority see fit. These are the
coming issues, and this remarkable pa
per is here put on file for future use.
Shall the States continue to exist as
the true Representatives of the peoples
rights? Seventeen-hundred and seventy
five thousand have already spoken in No
vember, 1864, on this subject-the main
tenance of Law and of the Constitution.
They stand firm to day as they did then,
and they bide their time.

next evening after the capture, she sung at q

A Sensation.

From the New York Cor. Phil. Inquirer.I
A GREAT sensation was produced at the
Opera House, last evening, by the appear
ance Of two persons in the parquette who
were, by common consent, recognized as
the very incarnation par excellence, of
shoddy and petroleum. The lady's head
dress was all ablaze with gold and precious
stones. The diamonds alone are estimated
at $4,000, while the other valuables, on
her opera cloak, &c, could not be worth
much less than $4,000 more. Her male
companion, likewise, was a spectacle for gods
and men. His magnificent white satin vest
had small row Of buttons, and in every
button was a sparkling diamond. Cravat
ard wristbands were likewise set off with
gems of the richest and rarest description
The pair, in short, seemed to have on their
precious persons the entire contents of some
lirs-class iewelry establishment, and the
marvel seemed to be that they could trust
themselves out Of doors at all. I don't know
who they were Nobody seemed to know
who they We're. They did not occupy con-
spicuous places in the dress circle, but sat so
near the orchestra that the Big Fiddle and
she Little Fiddle at times were quite dis
Irarted: harmony was lost IN amazemenl,
and had Orpheus himself been in the orches-
ira, looking. for Eurydice, question whether
he would not have been tempted to drop his
Tyre to look on the god and goodness Of
Petrolia, sitting in gittering state before him.
Their majesres, as if to attract all the more
attention, lett the Academy at the end Of tie
fourth act, taking care to make almost the
entire circuir of the parquette before shaking
its dust from the les of their feet.

A New Use for History.

IF there is a thing in the world that is cal
ouated to arouse lively appreciation of the
ludicrous in any mans mind, it is seeing the
eccentricities of an intoxicated man trying to
reach home or any other given point after
nightfall. A few evenings since a novel and
laughable scene was witnessed on Clark
street. An unfortunate citizen, who did not
have more liquor than he could carry, but
who was in a condition to indicate that he
had better gone twice for his load, was en-
deavoring to reach Polk street, going down
Clark. He accosted a gentleman who hap
pened to be less weighty than himself and
inquired the name of the street he was pass
ing.
This is Washington street, was the reply.
"Wash'n-Wash'n-W -Washn'ton. Where's
JefTs'n?
Jefferson is on the west side"
'The d1 it is; Jeffer-Jef7son on e west
side Where's Madson?'
Madison is the next street south, and the
next is Monroe"
Mason and Mnroe. This is Wash'nton.
Where's Buchanan street2"
mo Buchanan street in the city
mo Buchanan street e city? Look
here, stranger, I th-think you've got the
Presidents mixed"
But the joke was not complete till he had
gone to bookstore on Madison street and in
quired for history of the United States.-
When asked if he wanted to purchase, he
said no, he merely wanted to see the order
in which our Presidents came, so that he
could find his way home. Parties who saw
and heard him vouch for the material facts
