DEATH OF ISAAC ToucEY. death
OF Hon. Isaac Toucey, of Connecticut,
is announced. He was one OF the war
horses of New England Democracy.
With Tom Seymour and Frank Pierce
he fought radicalism from its inception,
and, though he lost many battles, he
never lost his faith or his courage. His
career was long and distinguished, be-
ginning almost with the beginning of
the republic and before the formation of
the old Wing and Democratic parties.
He was born in Newtown, Conn, No
vember 8, 1796; received thorough
classical education; was Representative
in Congress from Connecticut; Governor
OF the State; Attorney General of the
United States; Senator in Congress. and
Secretary of the Navy.

The space given in Northern papers
to the discussion of the Chinese immi-
grafton project, not only shows that its
Importance is duly estimated, but also
that it cannot escape being made one of
political strife and dissension. The
radical journals have already raised a
howl of indignation, and point triumph
antly to the law passed by Congress
against the coolie trade, while the De-
mocratic papers, almost with one voice.
favor the project. An examination Of
the Congressional law referred to, and
upon which the radicals, Of the first
blush, rely to defeat the movement. will
be found, upon closer examination, en-
tirely inapplicable. It was passed with
direct reference to enforced servitude in
this country, but can have no bearing
upon any contracts entered into by the
mutual consent of capitalists and labor
ers In fact, special clause is engrafted
upon the Act itself, by which il is rem
dered imperative in case the emigrants
manifested their consent to- extradition
before the American Consul of the port
from whence they sail. We must not be
surprised if the next Congress seeks to
pass some stringent laws against mea-
sure so entirely inimical to the party in
power and to the section controlling the
destinies of the nation; but the subject
is one 30 delicate to handle, in the face
of the long avowed and acknowledged
policy of encouraging immigration, that
we may we'll doubt their ultimate sue
cess. 1t is now evident that no extended
scheme of Chinese immigration can be
carried out other other than in the face
of a bitter opposition and decisive
battle on the floors of Congress between
the two opposing parties. This should
be properly understood and prepared
for by our people, since on it's issue
hangs all our hopes for social, CONNER
ciaG and political redemption.

and not unfrequently exercised it with
out stint in superceding and annulling
existing laws in the State, and by
military order ordaining and enforcing
new laws. 1t removed State officers,
with and without lawful cause, and ap-
pointed their successors. The Governors
of Georgia and Mississippi were removed
early in 1867, and the Governors of
North Carolina and this State in 1868,
and successors appointed. Judges were
removed because they refused to carry
out military orders in their Courts The
citizen was not only liable to be arrested,
tried, convicted and punished by militia
ry tribunals for violation of civil law
alone, but this extraordinary power was
put into force against many of the citi-
zens. who, if the Constitution of the
United States had been of force within
the limits of South Carolina, could have
appealed to the civil tribunals-to the
writ of habeaS cOrpuS-to the Judgment
of their peers, to relieve them from the
clutches of the military.
The war was ended in May, 19G5-the
last Confederate soldier had laid down
his arms. If the Constitution of tho
United States was Of force in this State,
to protect the rights of the citizen and
State, until July, 1868, why was it that
the military power during these three
long years was not only not subordinate
to. but actually superior to, the civil au-
thority? Is it not manifest, from this
review of the legislation of Congress and
the action of the military authorities,
that the government under which we
lived was military; all civil functions in
every department tolerated and recog-
nized no longer than they were consist
ent with the wishes and opinions Of the
military commandant.
Ii this be true, then tho constitution
adopted in this State could not conflict
with any clause of the Constitution of
the United States because it was not of
force at the time. to restrain the Conven-
ton or protect the people.
