Tie othef day, n the case oft
the Rev. Me Cummings and Alex.
] r. Garesche, d Missouri, before
the Supreme Court Of the United
States 1t Washington, involving
the constitutionality Of the Mis-
souri, test-oath, Senator Henderson
and Geo. P. Strong, Esq, submit
ted a brief in behalf of the State,
in which We find the following par
agraph:
aThe separate States were origin
ALLY possessed of all the attributes
| Of sovereignty, and these attributes
remain with them, except 30 far
as. the people may have parted
with them in forming the Federal
constitution; and among the rights
reserved to the States which may
be considered as established upon
the principle and by unvarying
usage hey ond question or dispute,
is the exclusive right of each
Estate to determine the qualifica-
ton Of voters and omce-holders,
and5the terms and conditions upon
(which members of the political
body may. exercise their various
callings and pursuits within its ju.
risdictions. -
This is excellent doctrine, if we
add the proyiso, Subject tothe con.
lstitution of the United States" But
the St. Louis Republican does not
understand it to be the doctrine of
the political party to which Sena.
tor Henderson and Mr.. Strong be.
long. That party is unwilling
THAT certain States of the Union
shall determine the qualifications
Iof voters and office-holders. The
Radicals wish to force those States
to make voters Of persons who are
mot such now, and seem revolved
THAT unless they do SO they shall
be deprived of representation in
Congress. 1t is remarkable how
ready the Radical politicians are to
adopt the State rights theory when
lit suits their purposes, and to de-
my and scott at it at other times.

"An Yreka (Cal., woman was
divorced at noon, one day recently
and married again at 2 P. NJ. on the
same day."
Very fast time that, but we can
beat it over an hour. In our

woman named Elizabeth Watkins
was divorced at 2 o'clock, p. M,
and IN less than an hour she was
married again to a man named Bag

This is a bill to abolish the

such an object but two conditions
are, requisite. first, cthat doubtful
Federal power should be used; and
second, that the statute should be
efficiently executed.
"lst. 1t abolishes the State ju-
risdiction.I This is. SO because it
makes it aihigh Inisdemeanor for
any person to deprive any ma

by this act. :
%. 1t establishes negro superb
ority. If from any cause the ne
cessary police regulations of q
State in It's purely local and do
nestle concerns should operate to
recognize a distinction Of color or
race, however indirectly, this law
may be worked successfully to res
sist it with the army and navy OF
the United States. Negroes could
be buyers Of church pews in spite
Iof the congregation, the court, peo-
iple, and the whole State itself, and
no landlord would dare to deny
them all the privileges Of the ho'
tel. ss,g5 i s-sq7,.b gg r.
/ "3d. The proposed statute as
whole, is grossly unconstitutional.
| eth. There is "a class of objec-
lions, even more serious because
more in consonance with the revo-
lntionary designs of the contrivers
lof the bill. 1t authorizes the
! President to appoint spies and in;
formers, absolutely without limit
of numbers, officers whom he may
Especially empower. Thus we have
at glance a scheme, the most
imperfect, contrived by wicked
men, for provoking that extension
of military power, which would
lift it into q gigantic and all per
Yading despotism, before which
the liberties of the people would
90 down forever.
1 ,"But they say, the power is III
I the President, and if the despotism
comes, it will be through him,
This brings US to the most impor'
tant practical point of all. He
could not execute this law, for he
would not betray the people
!, They know he could not. They.
j, therefore, hope to pass it over his
veto; and when he refuses to pro
woke universal instruction, to be
!, melted by the monstrous tyranny
to which they invite him, know
ing he cannot accept, they will
, attempt to impeach and remove
him. The sovereign people have
given the President good sup

sci again meetings of the people,

Hon. Eli Thayer, formerly d
Republican member of Congress,
from the Worcester, Massachu-
sets, district, is stumping Con-
necticut in behalf of the Demo
cratic ticket. He recently made a
speech of great power and elo-
quence, at New Haven, in which
he maintained that all the men,
befs elect from the South ought to
be admitted to Congress, and said
the object of the Government is
to let the people alone. He said
the Republicans are entitled to no
credit for subduing the rebellion,
for it might nnd ought to have
been finished in 1862. He de-
nounced the freedmen's bureau
bill, advocated free trade, and
urged that paper money ought not
to be issued by the Treasury at
Washington. He closed by chal-
longing Mr.. Sumner Or any other
man to debate before the people of
Connecticut. The following is an
extract from his speechs gIeg
