POLICE POWERS ORA STATE,

1t appears from the Washington
correspondence Of the Cincinnati Com
gscrciaI, that Attorney General VIII
liams' decision in the matter Of the
protest of Gov. Brown, Of this State,
against the trial by the Federal author
tiles Of persons arrested IN Gibson
county by the United States Marshal,
is received with much disfavOr In
Washington. Williams has exhibited
the most malignant hatred of the
South on every occasion. and has not
hesitated to overstep both precedent
and law whenever a case has been re-
ferred to him, in order To make the
burden Of the South more Onerous.
But there is some hope that he VIII yet
he checked up in his vindictive course
hy the Supreme Court Of the United
States, the case from Grant
parish, Ia having been certified
10 that tribunal for adjudication. The
opinion Of three Of the Judges of
that court, already expressed, in cases
involving precisely the points made by
Gov. Brown, that the State possesses
the right as well as the ability to pun
ish violaters Of the law within her
borders, leaves no doubt as to what viii
be the decision Of the Supreme Court.
1t Will restore to the States the police
powers of which Attorney General
Williams has 50 persistently attempted
to rob them. If decision in the case
from Louisiana could be had early in
the present term of the court, it would
relieve the Southern States Of great
deal of vexatious interference on the
part Of the Federal authorities under
the inspiration Of Attorney General
Williams

THE Nel1 York World states that the
famous and fussy carpet-bagger and
Federal Judge, Richard Busted, has
fled from Alabama, and has settled
himself down In an Office in that city.
On the 9th inst. he sent to Washington
his resignation OF the United States
Circuit Judgeship of Alabama. Hav-
ing consistently outraged the honest
people of the State, and having recent
" quarrelled with and denounced his
Radical associates, there was nothing
left for him In Alabama. He has there
fore taken his departure, and upon
reaching a safe distance from the scene
Of his Judicial exploits and political
chagrin, resigns his soiled ermine, and
is now in New York ready to furnish
the Republicans as many stories Of
Southern outrage as they may want.
1t has taken seven years or more to get
this corrupt Judge out of Office.

Iy indicates its origin. The red wine,
which passes for American claret. is a
sound. fruity wine, and except for the
wild, "foxy" taste to which one must
become. accustomed, it is to- be pre-
ferred TO the ordinary grades of claret.
Purity and cheapness are merits of
these island wines which should not
be overlooked. The former can be de-
pended upon. The latter can be judged
of when it is stated that the Still Ca
tawba costs in kegs or barrels from so
cents to S1-5O per gallon. the red
wine from SIPS to $3.50. and the Spark
ling Catawba s14 case for quart bot
ties, and SIC for pints.

rnErHIRn TERM POLICY

The Chicago Tribune says: ut seems
to be still matter Of discussion wheth-
er Gen. Grant is a candidate for a third
term or not. Secretary Robson, IN a
speech on Friday night, said that he is
not: but Secretary Delano, at Mount
Vernon, o., Saturday night, was care
ful to speak of him as in full accord of
the Republican party, and Just as if he
were a candidate. Has 1t ever occur
red to the gentlemen who are so anx-
ious to demonstrate that Gen. Grant S
or is not a candidate, that, if he were
not. 1t would be at once easy and be-
coming for him TO say So The whole
Republican party is moving toward the
third term policy with the steadiness of
an army. Stragglers there are as in
armies. but Immediately after the No
ycmber elections the leaders will boldly
avow their purposes to make Grant
President for a third term. Gerrit
Smith, now, as in the old abolition days,
Is with the scouts a little ahead, but
the rear will be brought up to thework
rs an army is brought up. In his Peter
horo manifesto, dated the first inst,
Smith says:
"When | saw their disappointment,
and that the vigilant and faithful Gov
crnment had scarcely let five days pass
,rcplacinga sufficient numberof United
states troops IN New Orleans, and
monitors to rake, when necessary, some
of her principal streets, l felt that, IN
Bible language, our great soldier had
come to the Presidency for such time
as this Moreover, and again, in Bible
language. l was ready to exclaim: %
Eing. lire toreUerp Ireadily admltthatIn
all but very extraordinary times two
terms of the Presidency are enough
for any, even the best, man; but when
there is a war to be put down, and es-
2e,.ially such a reasonable -and infer
nal one as this, which the Democratic
PARTY continues to wage, # Jre are 50
fortunate as 10 hare a dread 5CdrrIOr at
our head. It IS rise to keep HIM there.
The South lraated Grant because she
took 1t into her head that he would
tolerate here high crimes against hui
manity. She now needs him to punish
and stop these crimes.
This is the spirit that 4l,imates the
.reat body Of the Republicans If the

shall has Just arrested several.persOns
indicted for the offense under the en-
forcement law Of 1870. That statute,
of course, has no reference to murder,
but one of its sections makes it a penal
offense forany person, by force, bribery,
threats, etc, to hinder or prevent or
eonspire with others to hinder or pre-
vent any citizen from performing any
preparatory act requisite to qualify
him to vote, or from voting, at any
election and the alleged Of
tenders were consequently indicted
for conspiracy to prevent Mr..
Billings from voting in November by
killing him IN August This is making
a farce of the law. And things almost
as bad have been done in Tennessee,
where Gov. Brown has addressed
manly protest to the President against
the action Of his marshals IN arresting
persons for completely in the Trenton
massacre, "and conveying them under
guard to Memphis, nearly one hundred
miles distant, to answer for the same
offense charged against them by the
State courts In this case the crime
was breaking open a jail and lynching
a number of negro prisoners confined
on a charge of conspiracy to murder;
there was nothing IN the circumstances
of the outrage to make it proper SUBJ

laws provided for it; and the State au-

the case out of the Governors hands,
without even a color of excuse, merely
that he might turn it to political ac-
count.
There is a constitutional question G
the gravest importanceinvolved in these
cases, and it must soon come up for
final decision. We do not know wheth-
er the President or the Attorney
General is familiar with the history
of the Grant parish case in the United
States Circuit Court at New Orleans;
but If they are not we advise them to
read the able opinion of Mr.. Justice
Bradley of the Supreme Bench, deliver
ed In that case last July. Justice Brad
ley reviews the constitutiOnality of the
enforcement act of 1870, under which
the Indictment was brought, and con-
cludes that Congress has no power ''tO
pass laws for the punishment of ordi-
nary crimes and offenses against per-
sons of the colored race, or any other
race. That belongs to the State
government alone. All ordinary muir
ders, robberies, assaults, thefts and Of
lenses whatsoever are cognizable only
In the State Courts, unless indeed the
State should deny the class of persons
referred to the equal protection Of the
laws. Then, of course, Congress could
provide remedies for their security and
protection" Justice Bradley held that
the law upon which the indictment was
based mot supported by the Constitu-
ton" The inferior judge dissented,
and a division of opinion was therefore
certified to the Supreme Court of the
United States, where the final decision
must be sought. If Justice Bradley
should be sustained it would leave At
torney General Williams in a curious
predicament.
