the General Government assumes undelegated pow
ers its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no
force and being void. can derive no validity from
mere judicial Interpretation; that to this compact
each State acceded as q State, and is IN integral
party; that this Government created by this com.
pact was not made the exclusive or final Judge of
the extent Of the powers delegated to itself since
that would have made its discretion and not the
Constitution the measure Of its power; but that,
in all other cases Of compact among parties having
no common judge each party has an equal right TO
judge for ITSELF well of infractiOns Of the mode
and measures OF redress"
This resolution, which we need not say is as
thoroughly State-rights, and as fully justifies
secession as anything that ever came from the
pen or lips of WILLIAM l.. YANCEY, or BARN
WELL RHETT, was not only sustained by Sena-
tor WADE but by SALMON P. CHASE, at present
Chief Justice OF the United States. In view
of this latter fact, Senator JOHNSON well says:
Mr.. President, if the Chief Justice of the United
States has not changed the opinion which he enter
tanned in 1889 he is not the man to sit in judgment
upon Mr. jefferson Davis, or anybody else standing
in the like position. He might pronounce him-and
| suppose he wOuld-to have been guilty of treason
according to the letter of the law; but with this
resolution in his hand he would say to the depart
ment of the Government in which the power ofmercy
is lodged, I" For Gods sake, as you value me and my
character pardon for he did only to greater extent
what said would have done or that my State
should have done if the contingency had arisen."
Daily Richmond Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1865-1869, 1866-03-10
Origin of the Doctrine of Secession.

REvERDY JOHNSON, in a speech in the Sen
ate few days ago, cited some Of the cOnclu-
sive proof, which, those familiar with our polti-
cal history, have known to exist, that the doc
trine of seeession-including indeed, the whole
theory Of State rights-is of Northern origin
As far back as 1911, JOSIAH QUINCY, of Mas
saehusetts, then the leading statesman Of New
England, discussing the subject of the acquisi-
ton Ofthe Territory of Orleans, said:
Il am compelled to declare it as my deliberate
opinion that If this bill passes the bonds of this
Union are virtually dissolved; that the States which
compose u are Tree from moral obligations and that
as it will be the right Of ALL so il will be the duty
Of some 70 prepare definitely for a separation-ami-
eably if they can, violently if they must"
Coming down to a period immediately pre-
ceding the war, Mr.. JOHNSON cited the follow
ing resolution, adopted by convention held at
Cleveland Ohio, May 18th, 1859 :. BENJAMIN F.
WADE, then as now, Senator from Ohio, being
chairman of the committee by which the reso-
luton was reported:
" ResOlred That the several States comprising
the United states Of America are not united on the
principle of unlimited submission 10 their General
Government but that by compact unuer the style
and title of Constitution for the United States aud
Of amendments thereto, they constituted General
Government By certain definite powers, reserying,
each State to itself the residuary mass of right to
Their own self government and that WhensOeyer

The Cattle Plague and Radicalism.

The cattle plague has engaged large share
of the attention of the two Houses of the Brit
ish Parliament Some of the first intellects in
Parliament are turned 20 the subject, and,
thus far, with little purpose. In the course OF
a debate, Sir g. GREY said that all the expe-
riments thus far made " only show how COM
pletely all attempts to cure the disease have
hitherto failed" 1t appears to be ADM tilted,
on all sides, that the remedy of vaccination has
failed, and the only hope Of arresting it is by
" Stamping it out"-which means killing all
the cattle attacked by it. Isolation, slaughter
and compensation appear to be the prevailing
ideas.
Mr.. BRIGHT and Mr.. MILL find room and OPP
portunity for the display of their Radicalism,
even on this subject. Said Mr.. BRIGHT in one
of the debates-''As it had been said that the
" infection might be carried by dogs, and as
" there was regulation in regard to them in
the bill, he asked whether the disease might
not be propagated by the sport Of hunting
" and ,chether it migM not be stopped during the
"nert month";"
Mr.. LOWE characterized Mr.. BRIGHT's speech
as specimen of his peculiarities of manutac-
turing grievances, and of setting class against
class-even "endedrOring to set GriStocrdtic
for hounds against ordinary ours"
Mr.. MILL, in concluding some. remarks on
the subject of compensation, said-"An aris
" tocracy, as it claimed the first place and the
50 first honors in the country, should also bear
" the brunt of and first face the misfortune and
"difficulty of the country; and this should be
" considered in the awarding Of compensation
"nOw."
Radcalism is as much a disease Of men as
the cattle plague is of animals, and just as hard
TO cure. While Parliament is about to try the
experiment of L" stamping out" the latter in
England, President JoHNsONis thought by some
to contemplate the contingency of "Stamping
out" the former in this country.
We fear that the Radical doctrines held and
so constantly preached and propagated by Mr..
BRIGHT, and others of his school, will, at no
distant day, occasion England more trouble
than she has yet experienced from rinder-

Particulars of the Death of General t. $. Bowers.


General Grant, accompanied by General Bowers
and General Grants son, arrived opposite West Point
at a late hour on Monday night and next day. after
breakfast were ferried over the river
After General Grant had left his son at the Point
(where he is to rcman) accompanied by General
Bowers he returned, arriving at Garrisons about
o'clock in the afternoon and about fifteen minutes
before the down train was due, on which they were
TO proceed to New York. When the train arrived,
some difficulty occurred in relation to carpet-bag
belonging TO the party being missed, when General
Bowers followed the station agent to the office to see
about it. General Grant, in the meantime, heigg
seated in the cor next to the rear. When the agent
arrived in the ticket-ollice he picked up carpet
bag and presented it to tile view of General Bowers
who said, =" That is not the one" These were the
last words spoken by tho deceased, me tram at
that time was in motion when General Bowers rush.
ed out to get on board. In attempting to do so he
seized hold of the railing on the platform OF the car
in which General Grant was seated, and jumped up
on the STEP his body striking with such force against
the car as to break his hold on the railing, precpi
tatinp him from the step. In the fall he swung
around between the cars, his head and that part OF
his body above the hips falling inside of the track,
the car running over him, producing death Instant
Iv His body was dragged about one hundred yards
on to a switch and over it, the head being horribly
mutilated, as was also the upper part OF the BODY
Az soon as possible the train stopped, and the
body of the unfortunate man was taken from the
track.
General Grant was notified of the accident by Mr.:
Garrison, the proprietor of the ferry, who said
General, think your Adjqtant is killed. Gener'

How Policemen Should be Dressed.

In the British House of Commons the sub
iect of the proper dress for policemen was re-
Gently considered. Lord LENNoX enquired of
the Secretary of State for the Home Depart
ment whether his attention had been called to
the employment of police constables in plain
clothes, at night, in the suburban districts of
the metropolis, and to the serious results which
have already occurred, and are likely to occur in
consequence and especially to arecent case at
.Sydenham, when a police constable, named
MADDOX, was severely wounded on the high
way by man named FERGUSON, now confined
in Maidstone Gaol, but who, at the time of the
assault, believed that he was only defending
himself and his property against the attacks of
a robber.
Sir G. GREY said he knew nothing of the
particular case referred to. With respect,
however, to the general question as to the en-
ployment of policemen in plain clothes in the
metropolis, he stated that the practice was
adopted in 1869, IN consequence of the number
of garrotte robbeFies which had taken place in
London. He said it was quite clear, as those
robberies were committed during the absence
of the ordinary police constables in uniform, it
was necessary, in order to put a stop to such
rsbberies, to employ constables in plain clothes.
He further said that the report of arecent trial
showed that certain class Of rObberies could
only be prevented by employing policemen in
plain clothes.
