u. Moss of Paducah, Attorney General; d.
Howard Smith, Auditor, and j. w. Tate,

We hold it to be absolutely essential to the
preservation of the liberties Of the citizens,
that the several States shall DO maintained in
all their rights, dignity and equality, as the
most complete and reliable administration of
their own domestic concerns, and the surest
bulwark against anti-republican tendencies.
Every attempt on the part of the Federal
Government to exercise power not delegated
to it in the Constitution, or to exercise dele
gated power in q manner not therein pre-
scribed, is an act Of usurpation, demanding
the instant and unqualified condemnation Of
a people jealous of their liberties; and we hold
that any unconstitutional interference by the
General iGovernment with the local affairs of
any State, to any extent, or any pretense |
whatever, should be at once repudiated and |
condemned by all classes of every section of |
the Union, as all such acts tend directly to |
the destruction OF our federal system, and the !
consolidation Of all power in o centralized |
despotism.
notable feature Of the convention was the
active participation Of the venerable Cassius
NJ. Clay, who pledged himself to canvass the
State for the Democratic ticket.

No author of his time, except the late Alex.
ander Dumas, has made so much money as
Victor Hugo. He has been famous as a writer
for nearly fifty years, during thirty years of
which his reputation has been worldwide.
In that time everything that bore his name
was certain to have great sale, and nobody
mas been more conscious of the fact than him
self. Generous as he is said to be- he drives
close bargains with his publishers, getting for
his work every franc that they will nav. II
is estimated that Hugo has realized by his pen
5000, 600 francs (s6OO, OOO), and l have heard
the figures reported much higher His dra-
mas alone have netted him zoo. 600 francs.
For the "Hunchback of Notre Dame"
printed before he was thirty, he got but 40
600 francs; and for "Les Miserables. issued
thirty years later, he had 500, 600 francs.

On the 2Sth of April the Masonic Fraternity
IN London installed the Prince of Wales as
Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of
England. The Philadelphia Times says:
The Marquis of Ripon held this office last,
but when he became a convert to the Roman
Catholic Cnurch he abandoned Ereemasonry.
and the Prince of Wales was chosen in his
stead. A former heir apparent, the first gen.
tleman in Europe, whose beautifulicharacter
81 adorns the history of English society at the
close of the last century, was Grand Master
of one section of the Masons before the schism
was healed, and another Prince Royal, the
Duke Of Sussex, was the first to preside in
the United Grand Lodge Since his time the
dignity has been held by various mobiles of
high degree, but there has not been an elig-
ible Prince of Wales till now. Albert Edward
gains rather more honor from the Office than
he gives to it, but he is not a bad sort of
fellow, as heirs apparent go in England, and
we have no doubt the jewels will become
him.
