How the Dead Soldiers are to be
.-- Identified.

A Berlin letter in the London
Telegraph says: Mark one in
stance of the German practical
spirit as a proof of the fashion af-
ter which these Teutors prepare to
fight. In recent wars popular feel
ing has demandedsthat rank and
file, Captains and Generals, shall
be equally and impartially mem
toned in the lists of the slain;
but difficulties have arisen, be
cause the enemy connot know the
dead mems names, and, when tho
muster roll is called after battle,
the missing may he only wound
ed or prisoners. Germany has, in
her solid. calm manner, arranged,
in view of this difficulty, that each
wife and mother shall speedily
know the best or the worst abont
those who go to fight with God,
foE King, and Fatherland." Slips
of parchment, like luggage labels
have been prepared. on which tho
name of each. German soldier is
plainly written, and one of these
will be fastened inside his coat
when he goes into action. After
the day is decided, the enemy, if
he be master of the field, will be
requested to collect and return
these labels, of which about a
million have been provided, grim
tickets for an unknown. journey!
Think of the German wife or
mother sewing it on-the battle
ticket of her stake in the quarrel
the address of her particular ''ma-
terial of war;" the awful travelling
label whereon no loving hand
may write "With care" seeing
that its bearer goes into the VAL
ley Of the Shadow, to come forth
again or not as heaven shall de-
cree. Sewn on with German
thread, ripped off, perchance, with
French knife, whole packets and
parcels of these little human mem
oranda will surely he returned; but
yet every man who buttons his
coat over the label of death has
looked his fate full into the face,
and made himself ''ready for tho
burial"

A correspondent writes from
Portland, Oregon: "One morning,
as sat at breakfast with the door
open, / saw a sight that could not
DO Witnessed in any Eastern city.
Directly opposite is a barber shop,
run by negroes, and q laundry,
operated by Cinnamon. The At
ricans and Mongolians were airing
themselves outside. Along came
an Indian with his squaw and
half-grown female papoose, and in
the opposite direction two Cauca-
slams and an Irishman. The five
races, with their respective grand
divistons-Europe, Asia, Africa,
America aud Ireland, were repre-
sented on twenty feet of sidewalk.
The Paddy was ragged, but he
looked as if he owned them all"

The Prince Royal has issued Il
proclamation to the French peo-
pie, saying that Prussia is making
war against the Emperor and not

nothing to fear. The Prince an
nounces his purpose to restore ev-

officials are ordered to remain at
their posts, and personal safety is
guaranteed.
According to the French, the
Prnssians are distinguishing them
selves by pflagc and brutality.

STRANGE BUT TRUE.-It is q

been given, that firearms are rem

Mr.. Madison, who reviewed the
Constitution in the Fcacralist, in the
Forty third numb or. says:
THE authority of the General
Government extends no further thai
70 = guarantee Of a republican form
VI government which supposes = pre-.
visiting government Of the; form
whichis guaranteed. A. long, there
fore. .aSthc existing republican forms
arc continued BY the States, they
Gre guaranteed hy the Federal Con-
stitution. Vheuevcr the states may
choose to substitute other republi-
can forms they have \ right to do so,
sna to claim the Federal guarantee
for the latter.
The present Congress and the 40,b
Congress have acted in tie prcsump.
ticn that Congress was above the
people. and hence have denied all
power to tho States to amend the
censtis utious in regulating suffrage.
Assuming that the duty of "guaran-
tecing republican form of govern
ment' for state. was the power to
originate = government for State,
they have set at naught the whole
letter and spirit Of republican gov.
eminent, and Of tue Federal Consti-
tuition. What the states have done
under the authority has been man d.
tory and eoercivs, sna being invol.
antary - not binding. Whether i;
il wise to raise the question now or
hereafter. VIZ do not now say. but to
assert that the usurpations Of Con-
gross have power to bind States and
people forever, is simply absurd. In
tho case of the Southern States, in
deed. they have not been permitted
to act. They were compelled to sub
init to conditions before they were
states which only states could sub.
scribe to. Georgia, Virginia, Tex
A., Mississippi, and Alabama. were
not States. according to radical law,
when they ratified the 14th and 18th
amendments, aud not being states de
facto, two thirds Of the states have
never ratified the amendment. On
two grounds, then. the usurpations Of
Congress, when desirable, caa be set
aside. First. upon the ground laid
down by Mr.. Madison, that States
''ean substitu other republican
FORMS and secondly. upon the
ground ,f involuntary, coercive and
military action. which form no part
ofsa republican form Of government.
In war, Constitutions aud laws may
At times be silent, but never when

crnnent, they cease to become free
men, and become slaves.
