Constitution. In these acts says Judge
Arthur, 'Eongress has not only undertaken
to legislate upon these subjects-to author
ize the commission of trespass and other
wrongs within the proper jurisdiction and
local limits OF State-but has undertaken
to override the Constitutions aud laws Of
the States which compose the integral
parts of the Union itself And In violation
of the express restrictions and prohibitions
Of the Federal Constitution, Congress has
undertaken to confer upon the President
the Secretary of War aud their subordi-
mates, an irresponsible power to arbitrarily
seize, search and imprison the citizen
every where, and IA commit all other tres
passes aud wrongs against his life, liberty
and property with absolute impuhity, and
to leave the citizen himself totally desti-
tute of every remedy or redress whatso-
ever,p Against these most unwise and
wicked usurpatiOus OF power, the opinion of
Judge Arthur In the case of the Common
wealth Of Kentucky against Thomas w.
Hardlman and others published in the
Enquirer Of yesterday-is an earnest, able
and courageous protest.

\ SrRIAK AND Irs CnSsE oUENCEs.-A
strike attended by somewhat serious results,
recently occurred in the town Of Newcastle
uPcn-Tine, England; the employees of the
gas company, desiring An advance Of wages
gave notice that on and after the 9th of
April an increase Of $500 per week would
be demanded, and unless there terms we're
acceied 70 All the employees would then
quit work. The men were led to believe
that th If request would be complied with
but instead, the officers despatched agents
to glasgow and Edinburgh to fill their
places with other persons. The quota was
soon obtained, as especial pains had been
taken TO conceal the true state Of affairs.
As soon as the men arrived however, and
learned the fats Of the case, they at once
quilted the works. The gas company i'm
mediately pressed all their available hands
in their service, but their efforts were scarce
ly perceptible in increasing the small
amount of gas in the gas ometer. The con-
sequence was that the borough was wrapt
in total darkness for two successive nights.
1t was expected the corporation would i'm
mediately commence suit against the COM
pany for nom fulflment Of contract.
