which he was convicted had resulted in ca n.

AMONG the general causes Of the demor-
aliBatlon which marks the present era, civ
il war is undoubtedly one Of the most fee
tual. THIS was produced by a party who
trampled upon the Constitution and refused
to obey its obligations Amid the clash Of
arms the voice Of law was stihed, and since
the return of.peacs ,he turbulent spirit Of
disobsdience. has not been quelled, aud sub
mission to order, morals and sobriety, has
not been yielded, so as to show the same
well ordered condition of society. that once
existed Legislative and general official
corruption, many ascrlbc, in a conside rable
part: to the sGme causes, and therefore hope
when these disturbing influences are stIfed
or removed the former purity may return,
and our Legislative halls not be filed with
men looking exclusively for personal gain.
the New York World gives some views up
on this important subject which we here
copy:
The successful efforts OF the Republican
party to impair the authority and belittle
the dign ity of the State governments, have
had their influence in lowering the standard
of character in the State Legislatures. The
doctrine of State Rights fostered a reason
able State pride, and rcconciled men Of
abilities and ambition to serve in the State
governments. A just pride Of characte, is
the best security against the temptations
which beset public positions, and the sys-
tematic attempts of the Republicans to de
grade the States into mere dependent. cor
poration;, tends to deprive their legislatures
of attractions for men Of high asperations.
When the State governments are no longer
respectable men feel that they have moth
ing to gain in public estimation by serving
in them. We are not likely to see again in
the State Legislatures such men of mark
and standing as did not disdain to serve in
them before the doctrine Of State Rights
fell into decadence.
Atother potent cause of disqualification,
is the absorption of the public mind in an
all engrossiBg fanaticism, which has swal-
lowed up other considerations and other in
tereSt aud afforded screen for every knave
aud rascal who makes loud professions of
the prevailing faith. A spurious loyalty
and rabid negrophilism have been deem
ed to have merit enough to atone for the
want of common honesty Under the shell
ter of noisy professions of loyalty, base
and rapacious scoundrels have recommend
ed themselves to the favor and votes of the
people. The natural consequence is seen
in the utter and reeking rottenness univer-
sally charged upon the Legislature. Such
being the causes, the only true and effectu,
al remedy consists iD their removal.

HARTFORD.
Message of Governor English
Sound Constitutional Doctrine


Sound Constitutional Doctrine
HARTFORD, Conn, May 1.-The Legiss
lature organized to-day. ag EeT
Governor English in his message says the
situation of public affairs in every aspect is
important. He urges that as citizens of the
common country we should strive to extin-
gulsh vlndictlye resentments engendered by
the late civil war waged to maintain the SUI
premacy of the Federal Constitution and
the Federal Constitution and the integrity
of the Union. rea 80
He states that the great object was not
yet attained, the Union was not restored,
the States were denied participation in the
National Government by an action of Con
gress. Such measures if persisted in will
transform the Republic into despctism.
He deems the course of legislation pursued
by Congress wholly unwarranted, and fatal
to the Union and the Constitution as the
doctrine of secession. The legislation of
the thirty ninth Congress was to large
extent series of usurpations and infractions
OF the Constitution. He argues that Con-
gress has no more power under the Constitu-
tion to establish military government in the
Southern States than to institute an order
of nobility in England, and claims Con-
gress assumed that power only for the pur
pose of more thoroughly accomplishing tho
subversion of State authority. If Congress
can legislate for thos, States, it is not diff.
fcult to foresee like interference in other
States, and the right OF States to regulate
internal affairs in their own way will hence
force be subject to- the caprice of Congress-
He speaks of the Senate as arrogating
power to select as well as confirm, and as
debating to the President in regard to
his appointments. 1t was its purpose
to absorb the functions which legiti
mately belong to other branches of the
Government, that it was proposed TO take
the pardonlng power from the President,
where the Constitution had placed it, and
confer it here an &C post .tacto proceeding,
on Congress. He does not doubt tacit
submission of the Southern people to the
rule provided for them, but serious aues-
tons arise from the precedent establishe
by Congress. ~
The funded debt Of the State has been re-
duced the past year, $57i 600 a
lie recommends the adoption of law
making eight hours a legal days work.
In conclusion, he invokes infinite power
for wisdom and guidance to perform the
duties con6ded to him.
