government We are all equal III
rights, privileges and immunities.
There should be no determinations !;
no favoritsm, no partiaGties, per-
sonal or financial, and as CONNER
cial policy, a prohibitory tariff is be-
hind the age, almost a barbarism,
and belongs to the times when
nations were walled and COM
merce without wings.
I believe / have substantially
answered your letter. The new
organization may properly antago-
nize the party now administering
our affairs at almost every point.
While this is so, it should not un-
dertake to do everything at once, or
push reforms without some re-
gard for immediate consequences.
Changes that shock by their abrupt
ness, are not always just or fair.
We should never forget sound prin-
ciples, and we should move toward
them constantly, surely and steadily,
but sometimes gradually.
Idon't believe in daily revolutions,
or in the sudden and violent derange-
ment of public affairs. Let me sug-
gest a doctrine to which you have
not referred. / mean the doctrine
Of strict construction of the Con-
stitution. Have you considered
what certain preventative of mis-
government may be found in the
faithful application Of this doctrine ?
l believe such an application of it
would correct almost every public
evil of which We complain it is
worth your while to test its reach
and efficiency. And what a splendid
doctrine for such a Government as
ours. How it eXaltS the individual
man, and how it subordinateS the
Government. 1t may fcttCr the
Government now and then, hut
never the citizen. He always re-
mains uppermost and master. [ am

You wilinot succeed unless they do

Sr. LOUIS, July 26.-An unknown
man was run over by railroad train
on the levee between one and two
o'clock this morning, and instantly
killed, his head being severed from the
body. He is supposed to have been
drunk, and lying on the track.
The Republican has special from
St. Joseph, Missouri, which says that
kilograms received there state that a
part of the lows railroad train robbers
crossed the Hannibal and St. Joseph
railroad a few miles east Of Chiliccthe
Thureday, with large party OF pur"
suers only three miles behind them.
The people in every section OF
the country that could be reach ed by
telegraph have been advised. and the
roads in every direction guarded by bo'
dies OF men. Two of the robbers are
said to be notorious desperadoes Of St.
Clair county Missouri. The dispatch
further etates that there never has been
such determined pursuit of villains
as in this instance, and it seems to be
almost impossible for the robbers to es-
cape. 1t is believed, however, that they
will not be taken without a terrible
struggle as they well know that cap
ture means instant death.

RADICAL FALsEHOODs.

Attention is invited to the commune
cation which we publish this morning
over the signiture of " Constitution. ci-
ting q decision of the Supreme Court OF
Ohio corroborative of the decision re-
Gently rendered by the Supreme Court
OF Appeals in this State concerning the
appointing power.
The conduct of the Radical and JA-
COB press in this State relative to the
recent decision OF the Supreme Court
OF Appeals in the case of BRIDGES rs.
SHALLcRoss has been most shameful.
Not one in ten OF tue ra lical editors
has read the opinion ofthe court in the
case in question, or is prepared
by legal learning or knowledge
Of legal principles TO express
an OPINION concerning the matter; and
yet, with one accord, they pronounce
this Court guilty OF having overlooked
the law and rendered q decision in vi
olstion OF the Constitution and OF the
judicial oath which had teen solennly
taken by each of the Judges.
Party prejudice has, perhaps. q le-
climate scope; and it may be that the
desire for party advance ment msy jus
tify some degree Of suspicion as to the
integrity Of political opponents, but
we deny that even the exigcucies of
party should ever be held TO excuse
the inputation of perjury to such men
as compose the Supreme Court
Of Appeals OF West Virginia. After a
careful examination OF the law and with
strict regard 10 what they know to be
their duty and Ignoring, as Judges
should. all popular bias in relation to
the matter. the Supreme Court has de-
cided the question OF law arising in the
case. The Judges have looked upon
the matter as pure lawyers would re-
gard it, and as the result OF their in
vestigatian it appears that Cow
ernor JACOB has been wrong
in lis assumptions as TO the extent Of
his power under the Constitution of the
State. 1t has been decided that Gov
ernor JACOB hss as much authority as
was exercised By ell the Gov vernors Of
Virginia whose names are prominent in
the history OF the Stale, and no more.
1t has been decided that the
legislature has power TO provide
the manner in which as well as
the authority ty ,ohom appointments
shall be made. This principle has
been recognized aud acquiesced In dur
ing the paset hundred years and has
never been called in question until
Governor JACOB and his profound and
public spirited advisers, have conclud-
ed to the contrary.
We repeat that, under the circum-
stances, the conduct OF the Radical
press in this State has been most sbane-
ful. 1t deserves the condemnation OF
all law abiding and honest citizers Of
the State and cannot fail, when proper
information is had, to visit upon the
purblind partisans who have been most
active in this shameless denunciation
the censure which rightly belongs to
their 1isrepard of trnth
