or Jefferson and OF Madison, there
were political causes which disturbed
ihe peace Of society to very high de
gree. Men who differed in opinion on
the merits and qualifications of candi-
dates for Office, or of office holders,
and with respect 20 the measures Of
Government, were generally at va
rance on the subjects which had no
relation to politics. There was hut
little intercourse between families who
entertained opposite views ON political
subjects The embargo and non-in-
tercourse laws which preceded the
wan against Great Britain in 1912,
served to increase the spiri, of party
to a very high pitch; and the declara-
ton Of war which followed, served but
to widen the breach between the hos
tile parties Smuggling and trading
with the enemy was countenanced aud
even encouraged, and esteemed to be
mentorous conduct 10y one party, aud
condemned as a fragrant crime by the
other 4 such time it was not easy

Horse Stealing.

On last Friday evening, we are
told, six or seven armed men went
to the residence of Henry 7s1rmey,
Esq, near Blooms Hill, in this coun-
ty, and took from him four or five
head of horses and mules. We
do not know whether any of the
men were Identified.
On Friday night . horse was
stolen from the, neighborhood Of
Buckeye church.
! On Saturday night two horses
were stolen from Capt. Daeis ".
Clark, of this place.
These depredations would seem
to confirm the report that there is
an organized band preying upon
the property of this county. And
it further shows the necessity of
farmers keeping d vigilant watch
over their stock. f..,,w 4

A Nice Question.

The famous nsecond section,
|once So warmly discussed by all
the journalists Of the Union, is
likely to become once more a fruit
|ful topic of public debate. And
iwhye Because, Under the Civil
Rights Bill the question will be-:
Does it not invest the negro, in
every State, with a right to vote
just like a white man-the inter-
dict Of q State constitution to the
contrary Notwithstanding? Now,
the famous second section Of the
amendment to the federal Consti-
tuition, abolishing slavery, author
Uses Congress to enact all laws
necessary to carry out the purport
of the amendment. 1t will be in
=
dispensible for the Supreme Court
to decide, therefore, whether or
not such a construction of the
Civil Rights Bill as will enforce
the right of a colored man to vote
comes under the necessary"
clause of the Second section -
1t wilt be remembered that two or
three States objected, at first, to
the amendment because the "sec-
ond section" might be thus inter
preted to override State constitu-
tons.
