A MrsADvENruRE-Th New York cor
respondent Of the Mobile Register gives
the following description Of the way in
which a young man from this city was
treated, a few days ago, in New York:
lie jumped on the platform of d street
car, and in doing so Glanced to rub against
another passenger. The "other man" cot
his temper up, called the Creole pick
pocket, and made him the recipient OF
several other compliments. It didn't take
long to get tAe Southerner's blood an.
lie made some hasty arrangements for a
collision, but just then two policemen who
happened to be on the car advised him to
keep quiet. Instead oftaking their advice
the New Orleans chap pitched into one of
them for interfering where he had no BUSH
ness to do so--(they were not in uniform
and were net known to be oficers)--and
the result was that the Creole got a rough
handling, and was then dragged before q
magistrate, who gave him lecture and
charged him ten dollars for il. First called
a pickpocket, next mauled by two police
men, and then fined ten dollars; a streak
of rather bad luck, that, / think.

The Arbiter in Constitutional Ques.
lions.

We believe that the people of the
South have about given up all hope of
relief from their present troubles by an
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States. If the question of the
Constitutionality of the present Acts of
Congress for the benefit of the Southern
States, should be brought before that
tribunal, there can be no doubt as to
what the decision of the Court would
be. But there is just as little doubt
that the Radical jacobins would pay no
attention to the decision, and if need
be, would modify the Court SO as to
make it subseryient to their will
Hence it is that the Court has recently
resolved to take no further cognizance
of cases involving only political ques-
: lions.
In our anxiety to find some branch Of
the government to which we can APP
= peal for relief from the revolutionary
legislation ofCongress, we seem to have
forgotten that it has ever been one of
the fundamental doctrines of the State
rights party that the Supreme Court is
not the final arbiter of infractions of
the Constitution and the judge of the
mode or measure of redress. Mr.. Mad
ison, in his great Report on the Reso-
lutions Of 1898, successfully establishes
that point, and his opinion has been
fortified by those of Mr.. Calhoun and
of every other able State-rights advo-
cate from that day to this. If the SUI
preme Court is the judge of the Consti-
nationality of an Act of Congress, who
is to be the judge ofthe Constitutional
icy Of the Acts of the Supreme Court
itself9 If the one can be guilty of a
"palpable and dangerous infraction of
the Constitution" SO can the other,
and if the latter were the judge as well
as the culprit, the chance of convic-
ton would be a slim one indeed. Judge
Story held that each department ofthe
government is the interpreter of the
Constitution for itself whenever called
upon to act under it, and that the Su-
preme Court is the final arbiter in such |
questions only as are capable of a ju-
diciat decision. He says that when
Congress is the offender, an appeal
must be made to the ballot box. And
Chief Justice fancy, a State-rights
jurist, in the Rhode Island case, quoted
by Judge Yerger in his letter, decided
with reference to a case similar to the
one we wish decided now, that the Su-
preme Court cannot undertake to de-
eide such political questions as the le-
gality ola government existing in a
State, but that such questions rest ex-
with the Congress Of the
United States.
These decisions should settle the
question, and should satisfy us that we
have nothing to expect from tribunal
which, though it may have the will,
has not the power to afford lis any
relief.
