THE RIGHTS OF THE STATES.

The New York Times, usually styled
GGrant's own" makes this curt comment
uoon resolution adopted by the Demo-
cratic State Convention of Kentucky, de-
claring that the Union "is composed of Co
equal sovereign States:"
"The most tremendous war Of modern
times was not enough to get the heresy Of
State rights out of the average Kentucky
mind, and we presume that nothing can.
As the time has gone by
when the delusiOn can do any harm, and as
IL serves to amuse the Kentuekian, there is
no necessity for any great effort to make
him understand the nature OF the govern
ment under which he lives"
Now contrast this aippant treatment Of
the rights of the States by one of Grants
ablest organs, with the views Of the same
question recently enunciated by the Su-
preme Court of the United States. That
body has affirmed that this mnch sneered
a. doctrine of State rights, at which all the
small wits of the Republican party have
been firing their pop-guns, is sound prin-
chile of the Constitution, and that it has
not only survived TIE war, but the attacks
on the Constitution by the Radical
Republicans since. The Supreme
Court. every member of which but one,
has been appointed under the reign of the
Republican party, in speaking of the doc
trines which have been urged without limit
in the Republican press, aud now substari-
tally repeated by the New York Times,
says that

THE Memphis appeal says:

0In very truth, there has been more
senseless twaddle written about this Back
salary steal,' when the constitution gives
each Congress the right to fix its own pay,
than was ever devoted to the discussion of
any like question"
The constitution does not give to each
Congress this right, although it does not
prohibit its exercise. But that is not the
question. 1t is simply one involving the
honor and obligation of a contract, If
John Smith and dozen others undertake
to set type for You, when the composition
il fixed at fifty cents per one thousand ems,
and when the job is completed bring in a
bill at seventy. five cents and require you to
pay it, what is your opinion of John Smith
and bis associates?

NOIS.
On the first of this month q bill passed
both Houses of the Legislature of Illinois
which asserts in very positive terms the
right Of the State to control the action of
railway companies. Section fourth is in
these words:
"AOy such railroad corporation guilty of
extortion, or of making any unjust dis
crimirIation as to passenger or freight rates,
or rates for the use. and transportation of
railroad cars, or in receiving, handling or
delivering freights, shall, upon conviction
| thereof, be fined in any sum not less than
one thousand dollars, (Sl,0O0), nor more
! than five thousand dollars, ($5 ,000), for the
| first offense; and for the second offense not
| less than five thousand dollars, $4,000,
nor more than ten thousand dollars, ($10,-
000), and for the third offense not less
| than ten thousand dollars, ($l0,000), nor
more than twenty thousand dollars, (S20,-
| O00); and FIR every subsequent otfense and
conviction thereof, shall be liable TO fine
| of twenty-five thousand dollars, (S25, 000):
| Provided, that ia all cases under this act
either party shall have the right of trial by
jury" ..
Parties injured by railroad extortion are
allowed Three times the damages sustain
ed by the party aggrieved." Section eight
provides that
"The Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sioners are hereby directed to make, for
each of the railroad corporations doing bus
mess in this State, as soon as practicable,
schedule of reasonable maximum rates of
charges for tie transportation Ofpassengers
and freight cars on each OF said railroads;
and said schedule shall, 10 all suits brought
against any such railroad corporations,
wherein is in any way involved the charges
of any transportation of any passenger or
freight or cars, or unjust discrimination in
relation thereto, be deemed and taken, IN
all courts of this State, as prima facie ev!-
dence that the rates therein liked are rea-
