THE PRESIDENTS POWER OYER MILITIA

The Philadelphia Age, coming to the defense
of Gov. Geary from our criticisms on his de-
nunciation of the President for employing the
military to carry out the law of Congress at
the late election, says:
Gov. Geary was right when he said in characerizng
the outrage "This was done without the consent
the knowledge, Of the civil authorities of either the city
or the State . The proper and only time for
United States military forces to intervene will DO when
the power OF the Commonwealth is exhausted and their
aid is lawfully required"
As we have already said, this is, undOubt-
edly, the State Rights doctrine. II il one we
should have expected TO find in every old-style
Southern newspaper; or to hear-befOre the
war-from every Southern Representative or
Senator in Congress who, ever fearful of any
interference with the peculiar institution
denounced whatever took anything from the
pretended absolute supreme sovereignty of the
State, and who only consented to suffer such
action by the General Government in any
State as the State authorities had asked for, or
consented to tolerate
Our cOtempOrary gets confused when it says
the President was justified by us in sending
marines TO Philadelphia, under the law of
1895, passed in view of the extensive combina-
ton and resistance to the laws of the United
States known IA the Whisky msurrection.
That law was referred to by us, not AS the
one under which the President acted at the
last election, but as the one in connection
with which the United States Supreme Court
defined the powers and province of the Presi-
dent and his relations TO the State authorities
executive and legislative-in such exigen-
cies as required the use of military force.
Gov. Geary condemned the act OF the Presl-
dent rs being not only inopportune, hut
unlawful, and not in accordance with the
views of the founders of the Gen
eral Government. The act of 1895, and the
decisions under il of the highest tribunal
acts and decisions of such fathers of the Re-
public as Washington, Jefferson, Chief-Justice
Marshall, and Justice Story-shOw that il was
the Governor, and not the President, who was
at variance with the founders of the General
Government that il was the Governor, not
the President, who was guilty of political
hercsy. if not of political ignorance. Gov.

crying out. "Tammany influencem "POlice

thev do now. But we confidently assure our
friends that the patience of the State Committee
has been taxed to the utmost, and that il will
NOT be possible TO induce that body to order
another upset. Let us, then, deter to an
authority we must respect even when it is in
duced to transcend its powers to our injury,
and save our State from the dishearten-
ing, paralyzing spectacle of further discord
and distraction in the City. Let us suppress
personal feeling and consider only how the
Republican cause may most efficiently be sub
served. Let us do this promptly, heartily,
cheerfully, and we may look forward with con-
fdence to Republican triumph in the choice
of our next Legislature Our friends throughout
the State will be strengthened, gladdened,
electrified, by the tidings of our readiness to
bear and forbear under the impulse of devo-
ton to the Cause. In spite of the official
patronage and power brought to bear against
US, we can carry the Republican Primaries as
we have carried them again and again. We
can thereupon nominate candidates for the
Fall Election that they will not venture to
bolt, and thus secure two or three Assembly
men and probably Senator from this City,
making Republican Legislature morally GER
tain. We are confident that no other course is
either wise or safe. Then let Reason master
Passion, and the course we have commended
will seem dictated alike by patriotism and by
far-seeing wisdom.

The Government of King Amadeus seems
determined to stand no trifling with the forms
of royalty. The Duke of Montpensier, who
wanted to be King himself and knew he would
make better one than the Macaroni Prince
has been naturally a little lax in making his
loyal compliments to his new Majesty; upon
which, as we are informed this morning, my
Lord of Montpensier has been banished to the
Island of MnOrca, there to consider his duty.
Amadeus the First has so lately arrived in
Spain that he cannot be presumed to know
anything of the history of the country. But
some one about the Palace of the Oriente
ought to tell him that Isabel Segunda toppled
her throne over by banisbing this same Duke
of Montpensier; for it was this which threw
Topete into rebellion, and TOpete carried
through at a single dash the revolution at
Cadiz, and opened the way to Alcolea. 1t is
rather too soon for another catastrophe; but
if King Amadeus wants to hurry it. he is
taking tho best possible means for the pur-

The telegraph reports some sort. of adjust

cans of Arkansas, whereby Clayton is to de-
cline the SenatOrship and remain Governor,
while Senator Mcdonald will probably be re-

settlement of a quarrel which has torn the
Republican party into factions and very
nearly destroyed its ascendency. Gov. Clay

Mormon rule in Utah has evidently nearly
come to an end. A free press has disputed
Brigham's powerful influence over the minds
of his ignorant followers. Honest Federal
Judges have refused citizenship to the Prophets
latest recruits because of their polygamy. And
a large influx of miners of Gentle morals,
or no morals at all, has greatly les
sened the overwhelming political majority by
which the Saints have long controlled the Ter
ritory. We publish this morning three late
and important letters from Utah, showing how
Mormon influence is waning. The points of
two of the late decisions by Chief-Justice
Mexican of the Federal Court, which affect the
Mormon rights of property and citizenship, are
also given. These and previous rulings of this
Court have gone far toward solving present
difficulties in the Territory; and, in connection
with other civilzing influences ut work there,
promise soon to settle the Mormon question
without the interference of Congress or the
Army.

does not profess 10 belong, are undOubted,y
entirely right in just 80 much Of his claim
as refers to the action Of the General Govern
ment, in cases of resistance to the lars of N.
State, and just as undoubtedly and entirely
wrong wherever it is question Of resistance
to the laws Of the United States.
IL would have been wrong in the IInitod
States Government to interfere, unasked. in
our Ant-Rent difficulties.'or in any case wher.
the laws Of the State, and only those Laws
were resisted. In such cases it is ONLY when
"the power Of the Commonwealth [tbe State,
ais exhausted, and the aid Of the limited
Estates is lawfully required that the presi-
dent could, properly, send military forces from
other States, or employ the regular forces of
the United States. But the very example Of
the instruction in his own State--the Whisky
InsurreetiOn-which the law of 1875 was enacted
to meet, and the action taken under that
law, and the decisions to which 1t gave rise,
should have shown at least the Gov
ernor Of Pennsylvania that where it il a
question of the enforcement Of the laws OF
the United States, the Governor OF State
has not, and, in the very nature OF things,
could not have, any part whatever, except-ss
commander-in-chiefO of the State militia-to
comply with the acquisitions of the President
for the State forces; or TO furnish such in
formation as to those forces as might enable
him to call on them direct if he so deter
mined.
1t is the President, and not the Governors
of the States, who has taken the oath TO see
that the laws of the United States are en-
forced. And, in execution of this primary
duty, as he is the only one responsible for
the use of the military power, be, and he
only, says the U. s. Supreme Court, " is the
exclusive and final judge whether the ext
"gency flor their employment has arisen.'

The Senate of the United States is DELHI
erative body, which properly divides itself
into Committees among which the subjects
which require its attention are primarily dis
tributed for scrutiny and digestion prior to
action thereon in its public sessions. 1t were
absurd to contend that this body should not
assign to those Committees respectively the
members whom the majority shall from time
to time consider fttest for the discharge Oh
their respective duties. We cannot, therefore
consider the removal of Mr.. Sumner from the
Craftsmanship of the Committee on Foreign
Relations as an outrage or anything OF inc
sort; yet we will not conceal our profound
regret that any such action should have been
deemed necessary or advisable. Mr.. Sumner
has foibles-as few have nOt-but ne Is emil
nently a Senator, and has earned the love ana
trust of the American People. We could wish
that this seeming indignity might have been

the purchase Of Canada, we beg sensitive En-
glish Journalists to understand that no American
statesman has entertained the idea, and that
no political party in this country would assent
to it. There is general assurance through
out the United States that in due time we
shall get the Dominion for nothing, with the
full consent of the Canadians themselves and
the Home Government also. The annexation
of an unwilling people, either by conquest or
purchase, is abhorrent to the true sentiment
of the country, and the newspapers which
have represented that any person of influence
purposes asking the Commissioners to become
parties to such scheme are silly mischief
makers.

ON A HIGH HORSE

The absurd story telcgraphed from New
York to London, that our Government
proposed to settle the Fishery dispute and
the Alabama claims by purchasing oil British
North America, has aroused display of
Indignation from the English press which, to
us who know how baseess was the story,
seems highly ridiculous. The Saturday Rerieu
refers to the report az an evidence of the
extravaganza expectations of the Americans,
and the consequent difficulty of the task which
the High Commission has before it. a long
"and uninterrupted tradition of overbearing
" language on one side," says The Rerier.
and of interruptions Difference on the other,
naturally leads to the assumption that the
English Commissioners have been empOw-
" cred to offer Illuminating concessions.

"cusson will he the more welcome because il will

The National Guard will not be disbanded.
II refuses TO give up its arms, and has in
!renehed itself, so one report says, at Mont
martre, and declared for the Commune. The
story is a doubtful one but it is certain that
the disorders in Paris are not due to the mob
alone. The National Guard, as well as the
Gardes Mobiles, are to all appearance thoroughly
demoralized, and in a condition to be led into
any excuses by popular leader or cry.

Sundry bills for enforcing civil rights and
protecting loyal citizens in the South have
been introduced in both Houses of Congress,
but have not been discussed or acted upon.
One of the most radical of these, introduced
yesterday in the House, authorizes the en-
ployment of the army and navy to execute
the law as now INSTRUCTED in the South. The
language of the bill is not thus direct, but
this is what il means.
