STATE RrGHrs.-The Alexandria Gazette says: THE
idea that the rights of the States have been utterly
disregarded, if totally aunihiIaed by the event:
of the last five years. and especially by the political
action Of the dominant party since the war; that is
not worth while to talk about, consider them
ourselves is one to which give place, and which
will not encourage The constitutional doctrine Of
the rights of States is not to be given up in argt-
ment, discussion political action. We grant That
the exercise Of State sovereignty, formerly under
stood, is, under, present circumstances impossible
But the principle is not lost cause Though crushed
to earth it may rise again in civil history 1t is
one worth defending, worth standing By, worth the
honest exertions of every who values colstitu-
tona liberty in every way allowed by the laws, or
permitted By those now having and exercising author
ity Never ourselves ultraists this subject and in
former times, disposed to push this doctrine to
extremes, contended for by many of Southern
friends, nevertheless always recognised the rights
of the States expounded by the best and the wsest
of the founders of our Government. And now, more
than ever do look upon these State rights as the
salt Of political existenee'-the preservation Of
all that is valuable in institutions under nation
al union composed Of States, and intended to be a
union Of States. The issue, in truth will be- snd that
in long time between these rights (now described)
and consolidated empire over a collection Of pro-
yinces"

ClvIL-MaL1rARY AFFAIRS IN TExAs.-The following

June To- explains itself in the cearest possible
ner. 1t is safe to infer that Gen Griffin commanding
the district Of Texas will see that impeachment will

In June, 1866, Judge Thomas H. stribng and W.
P. Bacon, strong Union men, were elected judges of
the 18th and judicial districts in western Texas by
large maores. The Legislature of the State after
wards passed an act approved October II, 1866, abo
shing the 4th and 18th judicial districts Of the State
BY consolidation with other districts, thereby creating
districts Of suc extent as to make impossible to ad

The Newark IN. ~ Advertiser commenting upon
Attorney Stanbery's opinion the military recon
struction act, says:
Can chimera, Eliminating in vacuum, devour
second intentions? The mystery Of the law never
more fully exhibited than in the opinion of Attorney
General Stanbery on the working of the DISTINGUISHING
clauses in the military reconstruction acts 1t is
opinion fearfuly and wonderfully made. 1t passeth
understanding. He who reads it carefully, and comes
out of that labor wE reasonable belief that two and
two make four, has an intellect that will endure al
most any ordeal. We do not propose to eriticise it.
1t is as much out of the line Of would be
dsquiston Denomination and decree, Or any Of
those metaphysical puzzles which the more man
studies the more bewildered be becomes Those who
are fond of solving connndrums can try their hands
ut this opinion. It will last them lifetime. For flu
ture commentators it affords splendid field of study
1t is capable of being enlarged upon, annotated,
swered, butted rebutted, surrebutted joindered re-
joindered, and sur-rejoindered. 1t be taken up
inductively syntheticallg and will stand the of
either Baconian or Socratic logic.
