A Daniel Come to Judgment.

On the II of March, 1861, the Constitution
of "the Confederate States of America was
adopted at Montgomery. 1t began by set
ting forth the doctrine of State sovereignty
as the foundation of the Confederacy. "We,
the people of the Confederate States, each
State acting in it's sovereign and independ-
ent character" ETC., etc. Here was de-
liberate remuneration of the principle of
national union of which our Government is
the first example in history. 1t was recur-
renee to that modified union, that ghost OF
nationality, that hopeless shift of divided
sovereignty. against which our old confeder-
alton and the universal experience of man.
kind protested. But supreme State sover-
eighty the rebel chiefs would have, and they
gravcly began to build their fire upon the
back of the whale. THAT is no island
cried history 1--WE have tried it and it is
only fish's back" "Pooh ~ retorted the
gallant gentleman, !do you pretend to teach
us who have had Calhoun for our master ~
And they made the fire hotter and hotter
Suddenly the whale dived, and they are left
wallowing
They have learned by their own expert
ence what they refuse to learn from that OF
the world-that fire burns that when each
State acts in its sovereign and independent
character, there Is no nation, and the league
is Just as strong as the weakest State, and
no stronger.
This is the unpleasant, but unhesitating
confession made by the Richmond Enquirer,
the chief rebel paper, just four years after
the solemn proclamation of the absurdlty at
Montgomery. "Has not State sovereignty
been the weakness of the cause? If, during
the life and death struggle, with the com
press of common danger to bind and hold
together these States, this principle of State
sovereignty was continually obtruding itself,
delaying and preventing the legislation ne
cessarY to the common defense, impairing
that authority intrusted with the general well
fare, and impeding the execution of laws
necessary and proper to the success of the
cause, it is to be supposed that, when peace
returns, this principle of State sovereignty
will permit the Contederacy to exist one
year? The conduct of certain States, in
their opposition to the laws passed for the
! organization of the army and the preserva-
| tion of discipline, has caused many men
to reconsider their long cherished doctrine
of State sovereignty, and to come to the con-
cuson that, while in theory it is beautiful
and true, in fact and practice it is utterly de-
| iectlNe." =. ~
This was exactly what Washington and
Hamilton said eighty years ago and the
American people, believing them, utterly
and forever renounced the insane whim of
State sovereignty, and established national
sovereignty. If our fathers had not been a
great deal wiser than their recreant children
at the South, this government could never
have mastered a rebellion which would have
conquered any other government in the
world. We have proved the inestimable
value and the triumphant strength of union.
| The rebels have illustrated the weakness
and folly of federation. State sovereignty
is nearly as dead as slavery.

A LOCOMOTIVE WITH HISTORY. Among
the locomotives secured by General Terry
in his overland movement from Wilmington
to Goldsboro', is one that possesses some
historical interest, the engine '' Job Terry"
The Terry" first came into the possession
uf the United States military authorities by
the occupation of Alexandria, Virginia, in
May, 1861 was re- e-captured by Stonewall
jackson at Front Royal in the famous Banks
retreat down the Shenandoah, in the sum
mer of 49, re captured soon after by the
Union forces near Martinsburg, and found
in running order ran for us but short
time, again falling into rebel hands at War
rington Junction, Virginia at the time of
Pope's disastrous campaign, doing the rebels
service till renossesscd for Uncle Sam, a
short time since, by her namesake, General
Terry. 1t is fair to assume that the military
vicissitudes of this locomotive are at last
over, aud that while there is steam in her
iron lungs it will be respired for the cxclu
svc benefit of the United States Govern
nent.

DECREASE OF THE INDIANS. The Indians
dwelling within the United States are fast
disappearing from among men. In 1910
there were 400 0GO; in 1870, $50, 900, and
the census in 1860 shows only 295, 400. This
is decrease of fifty thousand every ten
years. The proportion of decrease is stead
ily augmented as the path of empire takes
its way westward. How many years will
eapse,. at this rate, before the Indian
savage will exist only in the history of
Schoolcraft, the prose fiction of Cooper,
and the poetry of Longfellow? The civil.
lied Indian fourishes better than the wild
one, for in the State of New York (the last
census says,) we have 2,7s5 aborigines,
whereas in Colorado only eO00 were left in
1860. The principal Indian populations are
distributed as follows West Arkansas,
65,6sO; New Mexico Territory, 65,10G;
Dakotah Territory, 30,664; Washington
$1,000; Utah Territory, 100000; Minnesota,
1880; California, Is, $780, Kansas, $3.50 !;
Nevada Territory, 1920; Oregan, 1000.

The SCHOOL House and its Sur
rOundings.

Outside of our larger towns and cities,
there is not a decent school house in the State
Of Maryland. Don't get surprised, gentle
reader, at this statement, for it is true
Very bad school houses are the rule, good
ones are the rare exceptions to the rule
The most dlapidated building you find in
the country is, generally speaking, the
school house. Pause a moment, and look
at one of these % Peoples Colleges" A
small, square building ng-the material Of
which is the rudest in the line Of building
fabrics-the foundation tottering-the shut
ters loose, if not gone-the roof decayed
and leaky-an you have an outline of a
country schoolhouse.
But let US open the door, and take an
inside view. The first thing that attracts
our notice is large, old, nasty stove-a
stove, perhaps, which once warmed our
date, rusty and smoky, is selected by the
Committee Men as a capital heater for
the school room. Its doors are hingeless
ITS draft is not good, and it does smoke
but what matters that? The stove is for the
school house, and of course 1t will do.
We will look at the seats and desks next.
There are, frequently, but two desks in the
room-one for the teacher, and one for the
pupiis: That for the pupils extends around
the sides of the room, and so arranged, that
when the pupils are seated at it they are all
compelled to "tace" the bare walls. The
seats placed at their desks are, in almost all
instances, too high. The height of the seat
prevents the pupils feet from resting on the
floor. The feet having nothing to rest upon
dangle midway between the floor and cell
ing, the limbs become distorted and the
rising generation is fast becoming race of
bow and handy legs" Again, these seats
have no support for the back and to rest
his weary muscles, the pupil inclines for
ward, congresses his chest and lungs, and
soon becomes "stoop- shouldered. 1t is
martyrdom to compel children to remain
seated for any length Of time on such seats.
1t is almost equal to the torture of the In.
QUESTION!
The walls of the school room are not
decorated with maps, charts, or drawings
no blackboard, globes, notwithstanding
to facilitate instruction or to render the
path of knowledge pleasant one.
Outside the schoolroom, no shade trees
shelter it from the suns rays, and the win
ter's blast-no play grounds, but the public
highway-no fences-but we forbear.
Such is brief and imperfect picture of
our school houses and surroundings. The
time has come when there must be an entire
change in these things, if we wish our noble
Commonwealth to keep pace with her sister
States. These old school houses must give
way for new ones old furniture for new and
improved-in short, the school house must
be made attractire.
