causes of the late war may be dated as
far back as the passage of the Missouri
Compromise act of lS20-an act which
the Supreme Court of the United States
has pronounced to be unconstitutional.
The compromises of 1888 and 1860
though OF a pacific aspect, constituting,
as they did, surrenders of constitu-
tional rights, were really causes OF
war, ms all direct assaults upon the Con-
stitution, call them compromises or what
you will, always have been and always
will be. The Constitution was the result
Of compromises between the different
sections which, at the time Of its forma-
ton, composed the Union but after its
adoption, there was no contingent right
resulting Of further compromises in a
government of strictly limited powers.
Amendments to the Constitution, in cases
of paramount necessity, might be made,
but not compromises of constitutional
rights. They we're wholly outside OF the
Constitution, and never contemplated by
its trainers. Neic Orleans Times.

This office has been vacant on the fol-

of the Vice President, viz George Gin

3, 1881; Eldridge Gerry, November, 1914
his term expiring March 3, 1917; W. r.
King, 1853 his term expiring March 3,
1857, Once by the resignation of John
c. Calhoun, December 20, 1892; his term
expiring March 3, 1888 Three times by
the death Of Presidents Harrison, Taylor
and Lincoln, and the accessions of Vice
Presidents Tyler, Fillmore and johnson
to the Presidency; the former in April
l64l; the second in July, 1850, and the
last in April, lS65-leaving the Vice
Presidency vacant tor the remainder Of
their respective terms, the President Of
the Senate having the right of succession
to the Presidency. The powers and du-
ties of the Vice President and the Presi-
dent of the Senate pro tenn are precisely
the same, except that the latter votes as

CHICAGO.

An editor draws this hattering picture
of Chicago: If any living rational,
reasoning creature, is disbeliever of
the total depravity of man, a six months
residence in Chicago will cure him Of
the infatuation. Few cities on the con-
tinent Of America are infested by a race
of more unmitigated villains. Murder,
rapine, outrage, and every other offense
in the catalogue of crime, are daily per
petrated The swift vengeance of the
law, which is almost sure to follow, seems
not to deter the wretches from pursuing
the objects Of their malice, cupidity or
passion. Virtue is made the sport of
every designing Lothario, and, boldly
entering the sacred precincts Of the do
mestic circle, they snatch their victims
from homes of happiness and virtue, and
eonsign them to disgrace and infamy

Pictorial History Of the Civil War, is

the war, but had bought his freedom,
and when the war broke out he owed a
balance of 5000. Some advised him not
to pay it saying, You are free by the

his word, and few days ago discharged
the obligation in full. That darkey

tions of the Southern Loyalists at

diers at Pittsburgh !

bition. and crude constitutional notions,
that revolutionists are made,
Our dispatches state that sherman IN
dorses the Presidents policy. II so, he
is far more dangerous man than the
President. for with him words mean
blows. If he accepts the Presidents
doctrine that Congress is an unconstitu-
tional body, he would not like the Pres
ident, lack the daring TO dispense it. To
his soldierly eye the arrest Of few hun
bred Congressman would be, If he re-
garded it as legal, mere affair OF a
single regiment and an hours time. A
Major and battalion would accomplish
il.
Gen. Sherman ON the war path was a
scourge to the South, and as a military
commander they hate him as they
formerly hated Andrew johnson. But
Gen. Sherman, as politician, builds on
a foundation of Southern sentiment
Like Andrew johnson, he despises Abo-
litionism.
He has no statesmanlike conception
of what is proper in reconstruetlng the
Union. His surrender treaty with John
son shows this. Hence, from every
point of view, whether we regard his
strong points as his weak ones, his mill
tary eminence or political deficiencies,
his strong hold on the soldiers who
fought with him in the army, or his po-
litical sympathy with Southern and ret
rograde ideas, and with the Presidents
revolutionary theories, we regard as
dangerous contingency his eleva-
ton to the position where, in the
event of coup d etat by the President,
or of the impeachment of the President
by Congress, be would WELD the mill
tary force of the country. Even Gen.
Grant would be under his orders. The
confidence which the country has in him
does not apply to the circumstances in
which he would then be placed. In short,
his elevation to the position of Secretary
of War would be regarded as a menace
toward the loyal North, which has con-
demned the Presidents policy by over
whelming msjorities. 1t would create
widespread apprehension.

FREEDMEN In MISSISSIPPI.
Report of General Wood.

WASHINGTON, October 25.--Mej Gen.
Thomas j. Wood, Assistant Commits
sioner of the Freedmen's Bureau,in Mis-
sissippi, has transmitted his report for
the month of September, to the Commits
soner. He states that in Brookhaven
district numerous complaints are being
made by the freedmen that their
arms are being taken away from
them, and one instance has been reported
of an attempt to sell freedman. From
the Columbus district reports Save been
received showing that the town Of Column
bus is the rendezvous of the unemployed
freedmen for a radius of fifty miles.
Already much suffering and restitution is
apparent among them. The number OF
these destitute freedmen is estimated at
10000. The General states, in conclu-
sion, that the outrages reported through
out the State in September have, in every
instance in which it has been deemed
necessary to lay the case before the State
executive, received the most prompt and
efficient cognizance, and all the means
in the hands of the civil authorities have
apparently been taken to bring
to justice the offenders. The policy
of leaving all infractions of the public
peace and safety to the civil authorities
has given increased confidence, as is seen
in the generally prompt and willing &C
ton and the grasping faith of the State
officers that were being supported in the
performance of their duties. He gives
a very gloomy account of the crop pros
poets.

possibility of the emancipation of the
negroes, said
Nor is it less certain that the two races,
equally free, cannot live in the same
government Nature, habit, opinion,
have drawn indellible lines of distinction
between them. 1t is still in our power
to direct the process Of emancipation
and deportation, and in such slow de-
gree that as the evil will wear off insen-
sibly, and their place be parri passu
filed up by free white laborers. If, on
the contrary, it be left to force itself on,

held up.

affect, that the Government was in dan

Empress Carlotta's Insanity.

The report of the insanity of the Arch
Duchess Carlotta, of Mexico, seems to be
confirmed by the latest news from Europe.
She is at Miramar
A correspondent writes that during
her frequent interviews with the Pope,
she has given evidence of an exalted
mysticism and feverish piety She has
repeatedly thrown herself at the feet of
Plus TX, and implored his protec-
ton against the snares with which she
believed herself surrounded. In short,
the character of her insanity is to
believe herself continually surrounded
by enemies and traitors. She scarcely
dares to touch any food which is offered
her, as she imagines that even the per
sons of her suite desire to poison her.
Her medical attendants still hope that
repose and care will restore her reason.
