Two important resolutions were passed
in the House at Washington on the 18th.
By one of them declaration is made in
favor of the economical administration Of
the Government, and all schemes for
subsidies pronounced fruitless as far as
the present Congress is concerned. This
thoroughly Democratic resolution was
adopted by vote of 223 to 33, and comes
as a blessed relief to a plundered people.
The second resolution was against
third term, and passed by majority Of
232 to 1S. 1t is plain our Republican
friends are cunning enough to be on the
honest side when the step is made by
somebody else. '.'h

The resolutions on Nationality that
Senator Morton has offered, aud has had
referred for the consideration of the
Senate, are as follows:
"Re8oIued. That the people of the
United States constitute one national
unity. ..'
"ReSolued That the States are not, and
never were, sovereign and independent
in National sense, and are integral parts
of one Nation.
RESOLVED, That the Constitution n is not
a compact between the States in their
municipal and corporate characters, but
was formed by the people OF the United
States in their primary capacity.
"ReSOlUed, That the rights of the States
are defined and guaranteed by the Con-
stitution, and can neither be diminished
nor enlarged by an amendment thereof
''RGSOIved, That the rights of the States
have the same sanction and security as
the rights and powers of the Govern
ment of the United States, and that To-
cal domestic government by the States
within the limits of the Constitution is
an essential part of our free republican
system. a-s ..f s,.l.. s-..U,.0l
"ResOlved, That the doctrine that a
State has the right to secede from the
Union is inconsistent with the idea of
Nationality, is in conflict with the spirit
and structure of the Constitution. and
should be regarded as having been for
ever extinguished by the suppression of
the rebellion"
The Declaration of Independence de.
c!ared, ''These colonies are, and of right
ought to be FREE AND DlNDEPENDENTsTATRs;
&c, have full power to make war, con-
clude peace, and do all other things that
independent States may, of right, do" .
In the treaty of peace with Great
Britain King George III acknowledged
the independence of New Hampshire,
&c, naming each one of the thirteen
States, 1t would seem then that the
revolutionary war was fought for and did
establish the independence of each State,
so that these States "wers sovereign and
independent" II not SO now, will the
sage Morton tell when they lost their
Independence? 1t is well to recur to
first principles" or fundamentals occa-
sionally. ia.a eaA' ''''.''. %

STA TLSTICS OF MINING.

In Great Britain there are 10000
men employed in the coal mines below
ground and 10000 engaged above
ground. The coal mined each year
amounts to 1913, 500 900 tons. On an av-
erage 1000 men are killed every year and
1000 wounded. In the last half century
10000 men have been killed in the mines
and some 10000 were wounded.
In the United States $1,000 men are
employed in mining and $4,000, 900 tons
Of coal mined yearly. In Pennsylvania
the death rate exceeds that OF Great Brit.
trn. The death rate in Ohio was also
greater last year than that of England,
but this year it will be less:
The most dangerous mines in the IN
tied States are in Schuylkill county, Penn.
one man being killed there for every 35,-
900 tons mined. One man is killed in
England for every 10000 tons mined,
one in Pennsylvania for every $1,000
tons, and one in Ohio for every 1873, 900
tons. This destruction of human life
ought always to be considered when max
ing complaints about dear fuel. No
doubt the prices often charged for coal
are too dear, but the excess of charges
is on the part Of those who own the mines,
and never on that Of those who work
them, .... ,.

THE CIV1L POWER.

In the observations made by General
Hancock, sitting on the Babcock court of
inquiry, he remarks that by the Federal
Constitution the military is subordinate
to the civil power. His understanding
of that instrument is creditable to his
patriotism. The civil power alone can
"create and support armies" and make
rules" for their government. The civil
power has made such rules in the "Arti-
cles of War" The civil power has given,
and can take away, the jurisdiction of
military courts. "No person can be tried
by military court unless one who has
voluntarily surrendered himself thereto
by entering into the army, or unless by
insurrection or rebellion civil courts are
closed. General Hancock expresses with
admirable force the idea that, while
military courts are as lawful courts, v it'll
in the limits conferred by the civil power,
as any other courts, and military law is,
within its limits, as precise and solid as
any other law, yet due Difference to the
spirit of our institutions, and to the civil
authority, suggests that the court on
Babcock suspend its inquiry for further
orders from the President in presence of
the indictment in st. Louis. 1t is not
only the thing which General Hancock
did, but the sensitiveness about coming
in conflict with civil court prompting
him to do it suddenly and instantly,
which is so commendable. And yet his
reasons are as good as either of these.
With him, evidently, il is the part Of
AN officer and a gentleman to obey the
spirit as we'll as letter of the laws of the
land. With him the army is no sane
tuary for defiance of the civil power.
Babcock, as General Hancock quickly
saw, has committed tlVo oienses if he
Conspired against the whisky tax--one
that for which he is indicted, and the
other for unbecoming conduct as an Off
Ger and that the army, though first in
order of time, should yield to the civil
courts before the service on Babcock of
the warrant of the civil Court under the
indictment created any possible conflict"
General Hancock preferred to aid "the
people" who, through grand jury, COM
planned that Babcock had committed a
crime against the nation, as well as the
army

felon Mcdonald (who rode with the
President, and whose transfer to Phila-
delphia was ordered by Douglass, and
which the President overruled) and with
some half dozen distillers, to defraud the
revenue.
The acts charged as done to further
this conspiracy are laid in st. Louis, and
in the month of January, 1874. and are
the removal of 100000 gallons of dis
titled spirits from distilleries in that city,
without paying the tax of 70 cents on
each gallon. This tax amounts to $780,

The Republican majority in the United
States Senate retains as presiding officer
the rankest infationist in the country,
and preserves a prudent silence on finan-
cial topics but the Republican minority
in the House has suddenly become eager
for legislation in favor of specie payment.
The triCksters of the party, who would
not have dared to advocate such meas
ure when in power, endeavored on the
18th to make point by urging resolu-
tions in favor of giving the Secretary of
the Treasury the power to resume spe-
Gle payment, which the party took pre-
cious good care he should not have in
the original Resumption Act. The reso-
lutions went to the proper committee
amid what the report calls triumphant
laughter" from the Republicans.
