THE NEWS FROM BALTIMORE

Ring out your shouts Of victory, -
From north tn southern shore.
Tell it to every noble heart
The news from Baltimore. .i
We now are sure our cause shall win,
And it Is true and Just,
And soon bold tyrant Caesars rule
Shall moulder in the dust.
We will have administration pure,
With Horace to the fore.
Speed the glad tidings east and west
The news from Baltimore. .a7
No longer shall our country mourn,
For Cesar reign is dead,
His relatives and thieving friends
Will many sad tear shed.
And while they weep-in sorr9wing
Bewaii their saddened lot,
A nation shall come shining forth
Without one blackened spot
So, freemeR, one and all rejoice,
Let banners high be waved:
The news from Baltimore means this
a natior's honor saved.

ADMIRABLE SENTIMENTS


The Lsraelite-a very able and inaue
entail non>political journal, published at
Cincinnati, and edited by the eminent
Rabbi, Dr. Wise, takes an elevated view
of the Presidential contest, and urges the
election of Horace Greeley, upon the
high grounds of peace, liberty, enlight~
eminent and justice. In a recent article
the IsraeLte says: ..
Let us have peace, Is beautiful not
to. But in order to secure peace to a
country, sound moral principles must
underIie It's fabric eff government and
lead in the administration of its laws.
The moral principles of our Govern
ment are expressed and implied in the
Constitution of the United States, which
shall be respected again, and Msmmon
shall no longer be be the chief agency
| in the administration of the laws. This
! is the import of the revolution starting
! from Cincinnati and Baltimore. We
must have peace.
Animal reason and selfish propensities,
| so conspicuous at the helm of our Gov
ernment, have led better men to dispair
Of the sound judgement of our people,
and led to the suppOsition, that this Is no
country for ethical men, that ability
character, mental and moral distinction
must forever be second aud secondary to
| animal reason and physical superiority.
The nomination of Horace Greedy is q
demonstration on the part of the people
| that this thing must be changed, and
this is the main point in our peace prO'
CRANE. Elevate capable, enlightened
and rational men to public Office, end
elevate the nation elevate and enlTghten
and you secure peace, liberty, justice
and prosperity to us and to the unborn
/ generations.
In this light, we look upon the nom
ination Of Greeley and Brown. Although
no political sheet, the Lsraelite express
es its preference for these nominees, or
grounds purely ethical and patriotic
since none in this Office expects any ap
pointment or remuneration.

U. =. Circuit Court.
ARGUMENT IN THE GIVEN CASE

ARGUMENT IN THE GIVEN CASE.
The argument in the case of U. 8. u.s. Given
was concluded yesterday.
Mr. spruance and U. s. Attorney Higgins ad-
dressed the Court in opposition to the motion
for arrest Of judgment. They held that the law
of Congress imposed no new duty upon the Stat Q
officers nor did il prescribe any different method
bv which they should discharge their duties. 1t
simply required that in the performance OF the
dnty imposed upon them by the State they
should not discriminate against citizens OF the
United States, by reason OF their race or color ;
that the power must exist in the General Govern
ment to punish for such discrimination, otherwise
the state Ioflicials would be able to practically
nnllify the amendments to the Constitution.
They insisted that the recognition by the 10Th
Amendment OF the right OF citizens OF the United
States to vote, without distinction on account OF
race or color made this constitutional T1Jht
which il was the duty of the United States to
guarantee and protect, and that the express pro-
ylssion in this Amendment giving Congress the
mower 10 enforce the article "by appropriate
Legislation, conferred power to protect this
right against all persons whatsoever, whether
State officers or individuals, VINO attempted py
reason of race or color, to deny or abridge it,
U. s. Senator Bayard closed the argument IN
aunuort of the motion. He rested the PROPOSE
ton mainly upon the ground that the Enforce,
ment Act was unconstitutional that
trenched upon the reserved powers OF the Statet
to regulate suffrage, and imposed duties ano
penalties upon State officers. That If this pow
or should be conceded TO the federal Govern
ment not only would the raising OF tho revenues
OF the States, by taxation be interrupted, bu
the existence OF the States would be destroyed.
Upon the conclusion OF the argument, the
Court announced that its decision would be re-
served until Monday January 9th, to which time
H. a1iourned.

There can be no dispute that the regular gov

provements Of modern civilization, and that the
cheap postal system, the free delivery by carri-
ers, and other advances upon the original ar,
rangement, have facilitated communications OF
ali kinds to such degree az to have greatly en-
HANGED commerce, both internal and external,
removed social barriers and increased the gene
raj comforts and conveniences of mankind. But
the invention of the telegraph has put an entire
ly new phase upon things, and the question now
i4 whether we shall apply to this means OF com
munication the same system that has proved so
wonderfully successful with the letter mails. In
other words, shall we make the service oihclal
and universal by diifuse it all over the land, and
cheaper the tolls 30 as to bring it within the
reach Of all To state the case thus, is i'll real

that monopoly thereduction of tolls and increase
