WEBSTER TR1UMPHs OVER HAYNE

1t is extremely encouraging to see the
unanimity with which the Democracy in
woke the action of the whole American
people Once it was doctrine that the
people of State had exclusive control of
their own affairs. Outside intervention,
and especially expressions of Northern
opinion, was violation of reserved and
exclusive rights. Now mass meeting Of
the whole people Of the Union is required
to determine what portion of the people
of a State should do or should not do.
1t is also very conclusive of respect
for the wishes of the whole people, when
question Of domestic principle Or
policy is to be kept open until 1876 in
order to afford the whole people of the
United States an opportunity to vote on
it. 1t made, Of course, little difference to
politicians who, when out of place, are
out Of business, that this State, with its
crops and commerce, should be kept in
its present state of embarrassment. What
is it to street politician if men 90 to
protest, or houses are sold, or capital
withheld, Or withdrawn. Perish credit.
Perish commerce. Let the agitation cen
tinue. Many persons would like to have
these questions settled before the poll
ticians 60 North for next summer, but it
can not be allowed. They are awed,
cowed, intinidated by "the people,
their masters who assembled at Clay
statue.
AN eye like Mars to threaten and command"
ever glares upon, and warns them not
to do an act unless first sanctioned b.
''the people, their masters
This recognition of the doctrine that
the phrase ''we, the people, in the consti-
tuition, meant the collective majority of |
the whole population Of the Union, is a |
large departure from the doctrine of Cal |
coun and implies much. With that tolera-
ton which voted for tarifite and aboli-
ZIONIST for the presidency, We may, per-
naps, congratulate the country that the
asst ditch of State rights has been sur
ard that all questions will be
n future submitted to all the people Of
he United States, as Mr.. Webster always
:o2tended they ought to be.

IAso1D OF on THE TROUBLED WATERS.

RANCID OIL ON THE TROUBLED WATERS.
Mr.. Booth is not very complimentary
to the people when he declares they do not
mean what they say. Perhaps he has
discovered that the Last Ditch leaders
made serious mistake and overshot the
mark at the Saturday night meeting.
They very imprudently instructed their
claquers 70 stand around near the speakers
and hurrah at the proper times and places.
Also to revive the old time cries which
were SO familiar here many years ago
chang them all !" Red Bill originated
this cry against foreigners. Booth being
foreigner, and having never been hanged,
has found out that the political Red
Bills only condemn. They do not execute.
At least they dare not proceed against
white Democrats. These cries of hang
them were put into the mouths of the
rabble by the leaders. The object was to
brighten Messrs. Eustis, Hammond,
Bower, Blaffer Hall and their associates.
They have awaked the wrong passengers.
The intended victims show their teeth
and threaten back. So Mr.. Booth, no
longer eight feet high, but shrunk to his
normal proportions of five feet four, ex-
plains that the people did not mean what
they said. Like Sir Andrew Aguecheek,
had Messrs. Booth, McEnery, Ellis, Mari
& Co. known Eustis, Hammond, Bower
and associates were SO cunning of fence
they would have seen them damned ere
they had fought with them. Mr.. Booth
was eight feet high at the Friday night
meeting. His chief admirer was not
there to measure him on Monday. That
gentleman has in some manner offended
the members of the caucus. Something
was said about an abuse of courtesy. In
short, the intimidators begin to see signs
of a rising storm, and fear to meet it.
Therefore, we see the feeble attempt to
squirt little rancid oil on the troubled
waters.
In our judgment, the Committee of
Seventy, the Last Ditchers and all their
loaing crew are on the eve Of being sum-
marily dismissed by their cheated fol-
lowers on account Of being dead
failures and beats.

ably certain, but the burnt Southern
children dread the fire, and magnani-

such of us as can take it will do SO. Those
who can not will besiege Congress for a
coat of whitewash.

TIE DIAMOND RoBBKsY.--All sorts of
reports were in circulation, yesterday,
relative to the diamond robbery. The
first was, that Lomax had confessed that
he had taken the cross, while another
officer had the diamond; another was,
that the Mayor had received letter or
telegram from Augusta, stating that the
missing articles had been mysteriously
returned, etc., with others of a similar
nature. Upon inquiry, we learned that
all these reports were mere fabrications,
and tho mystery is as deep as ever. Ex-
Policeman Lomax was arrested, yester-
day, on the affidavit of Chief Nixon, that
to the best Of his knowledge and belief,
Lomax either had the missing articles in
his possession or knew where they were.
Lomax was carried before Trial Justice
Marshal, his counsel (Speaker Elliott)
waived an examination, and he was or
dered to prison, in default of 81 900 bail.

the condition of Louisiana, Mr.. Charles
Nordho6 gives o thoroughly detailed and
painfully interesting account of the bur.
dens that oppress the Taxpayers of thnt
State. In 1850 the whole expense, con.
tingent and otherwise, of the Legislature
OF the State was under 500, 900. In 1879
1t was we'll up to $500. .0OO. Last year it
was smaller sum, but still $6O, 900
above the Comptroller's estimate Of the
proper cost. In 1881 the State tax
amounted to 20 cents on every $1OO. In
1867, the year bsfore reconstruction, to
374 cents; and In 1874, after reaching a
much higher figure, TO $1.45, to which
sum II q limited by the Constitution.
