DISPATCH

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24-3 p. NJ
The political cauldron Is beginning to
warm up and bubble. The Democracy
got out this morning an illustrative
handful, setting forth the operations
of the tariff, which is sufficiently sharp
to elicit praise from tariff men them
selves. The Republicans are preparing
n number of cartoons in similar vein.
At o'clock, this afternoon, a man
while passing along Sacramento street,
opposite Webb, burst a blood vessel,
and sitting down on the sidewalk bled
from the mouth until insensible, when
the police took him to the hospital In
a dying condition.
Devine, the ex-jail-keeper who stirred
up the investigation against Sheriff
White, appears to be getting his hands
full. White proposes to impeach his
reliability under oath by numerous
witnesses. and to-day Gillian Porter, OF
the Board Of Supervisors, met him on
Kearny street, and after some words
drew a pistol and threatened to blow
tho top OF his head off, but was pre-
vented, and arrested on o charge Of
assault with a deadly weapon. The
investigation Is still going on.

The Case OF Mrs. HIEby.

The case Of Mrs. Highly. who Is re-
ported to have been mysterlously as
saulted on Monday evening last, has
caused considerable discussion. Chief
Crowley, with q view Of having the
matter probed to the bottom, detailed
Detectives Stone and Sellinger to In.
vestigate the facts Of the case. These
officers succeeded In obtaining an In
terview with Mrs. Highly, yesterday,
and found her lying In bed and able to
converse quite nationally. Her story
Is substantially as follows: aE ,"lE .in1
On Mondon evening she visited Mrs.
Lane lmother of Mrs, Fairh remaining
with her until about half.past 0 o'clock.
While going down one flight Of stairs
she was compelled to return, and fora
few moments went Into n small room ;
while there some man came along and
attempted to open the door, which she
held tight until she was ready to leave.
Soon afterwards she went down the
flight of stairs leading to the street,
and while doing 80 she says she WINS
met by q large man, dressed In q gray,
suit, who carried an umbrella In his
hands. She was struck over the head,
fell down, and was picked up i~nsensi-
bic. At her side was found a stair rod,
which Is broke In several places. A
physician was called In to attend to
her case, and states that she has sus-
tanned q slight fracture Of the skull.
Mrs. Highly was asked II she had any
reasons why an attack should thus be
made upon her by an unknown man.
Her reply was that she had written
several severe articles on the Fair case,
which probably contained statements
which It might have been as we'll left
out (; that she has received several
anonymous threatening letters. She
was asked whether she had tho letters,
and stated that she had sent them to
her husband In Oregon, and that they
had been sent for ; also, that Mrs. Pitts
Stevens had seen the letters, and could
give the contents. Acting under In
structions, the officers inquired whether
there would be any objection offered to
the Chief sending several physicians to
the house to consult with her own ply
siclan as to her condition. "
This course was suggested by the
Chief to ascertain II possible how the
lady was injured-f by a blow with
what sort Of an instrument. No OBJ
lection was offered to this. The detec-
lives then called on her physician to
learn whether he had any objection to
a consultation /; he said he was salts
fled, II no objection was offered by the
family, and he was Informed there
would be none. An appointment was
fixed for half-past four O'Clock for the
consultation. In the meantime word
was sent to the police office that Mrs.
Highly and her friends objected to q
consultation. Her physician was again
CALLED upon 20 soc whether he had
changed his mind, and he replied that
be had. The parties were very desir-
Gus to. know what physicians the Chief
had requested TO attend the consulta-
tIon, but Of course this Information was
not given them. Thus the matter stands

of tie Calhoun theory, which should
be remandedSinto ithe limbo Of forgot
ten things. That Il Is not so remanded
proves only that the snake Is scotched,
not killed, and that favorable condl-
'tions alone are wanting to warm It
into life. The Southern leaders Of the
Democracy; with Alexander stephens
at their head, proclaim that the resto-
ration of this idea Is the true mission
of the Democratic party. The most
extreme view ever taken Of this theory
was that OF the Democratic Governor
Of this State, In his Message in 1870,
submitting the Fifteenth Amendment
to the Legislature, In which lie argued
that the Amendment could not be made
while one Stats objected ; and that II
1t should be adopted In the manner
prescribed by the Constitution, then
the Constitution would become uncon-
stitutional, and each State might decide
for itself how far 1t was binding. That
OUT alhouns Calhoun In political met
aphysics, and goes Q bow-shot beyond
Stephens. There Is no desire Of the
Republican party to make this a con-
solidated Government. There Is a de-
termination that each part shall main-
tain Its distinctive integrity. and the
whole be the expression Of individual
liberty. The only Estate rights"
which hive been destroyed are the
right to hold slaves and the right to
secede.

1t would be amusing to collate all
the jeremiads that have been pro
nounced over the destruction Of the
States. One Of the grievances that oc-
casioned "the resolutions Of 49," was
an Act of Congress Furnishing counter
felting. The states have been de-
stroyed over since whenever there was
a lack Of other matter for defamation.
They have been destroyed by lawsgfor
collecting revenue, and acts for the
admission of States. They were de-
stroyed by Lincoln's call for volun-.
teers to defend the Union. The only
Constitutional way to oppose rebel
armies was to read the Riot Act. They
were destroyed by every measure for
the prosecution Of the war. When the
Administration seized the fiery sword
Of the Emancipation Proclamation,
flashing freedom and victory, the States
were destroyed. They were destroyed
by the adoption of every Amendment
to the Constitutional utterly de-
stroyed by. the Fifteenth, their bound
airy lines were hardly visible. The
last time they were destroyed was by
| the passage OF q law to secure the pr-.
| rity of the ballot-box In the election
of members Of Congress, and another
to suppress the kuklux. What! 10

mobs and violence the only form Of
liberty to be r~ecognized2 Considering
how often the States have been de-
stroyed, they seem to be moving In
their orbits and ~discharglng their po-
litical functions with an unconscious

lively new questions, 1t Is perhaps nee
essary briefly to refer to an old one;
and no political speech can be consid-
cred complete without some tallusion
to tho resolutions Of 'aS." It'll con-
stantly charged by the Democracy that
the principles Of the Republican party
are hostile to State rights. Analyze
this charge into its specifications and
Il will be found to mean they are inim-
ical to State wrongs. From the adop-
ton Of the Federal Constitution two
theories were advocated In regard!toi
It's construction. The one, known best
Iperhaps as the Calhoun theory, Is that
Il Is a treaty between the States-a
league of independent soyeIelgnties-.
each State haylbg The rlghtto tfdge OF
Its i~nfractionsl and the measures and
methods Of Its redress The logical
sequence Of this theory was reached IN
tho doctrines OF notification and seoes-
sion. The other theory, which from
its great expounder, may be called Tue
Websterian, Is tint the Constitution Is
not n compact between States, U a
form of Government established oy the
people, and the Government 80 estao-
Is indlssoluble, except '6y revo-
violence. These theories
met often in debate, memorable III tne
