The COnstitmtiOnaiity of the enforcement
Act.
The question of the cOnstitutionality of
tho enforcement act TO be determined by
the decision pending, has been fully argued
on the merits of the case tour times. In
the first instance it was argued at the South
Carolina Circuit Court on motion to unash
an Indictment under it By Reverdy johnson
and Henry Stanberry. There was then dIvi-
sion of opinion between the judges. but the
hearing OF a motion to quash was held that
the division could not be certified on such a
motion. 1t was again argued on u motion
in arrest OF judgment, and the question was
certified here where the case was dismissed,
the accused having been pardoned by the
President. The question was again argued
at this term, in case from Kentucky, by
Mr.. Stanberry and Mr.. BuC kner, and still
again in the present case by MIR. johnson.

THE ALDINE,
The Art Journal of America,
ISSUED MONTHLY.
- A Magnificent Conception, wonder.
uIIy carried out


The necessity or popular medium
for the representation Of the proluc-
tions Of our great artist. has always
been recognizsl, and many attempts
have been made to meet tire want. The
successive failures which 50 invariably
followed each attempt in this country
to establish an art journal, did not
prove the Indifference Of the people Of
America to the claims Of high art. So
soon as a proper appreciation of the
want and an ability to meet 1t were
shown, the public at once rallied with
enthusiasm to its support, and the re-
suit was . great artistic and CONNER
cial triumph-THE ALDINE.
THE ALDNE, while issued with all
the regularity, has none Of the tempo
rary or timely interest Characteristic Of
ordinary periodicals. 1t is an elegant
miscellany Of pure, ligltand graceful
literature; and collection Of pictures,
the rarest specimens OF artistic skill, in
black and white. Although each sue
ceeding number affords fresh pleas
ure to Its friends, the real value and
beauty Of THE ALDNE will be most ap-
preciated after it is bound up at the close
Of the year. While other publications
may claim superior eheapness, as com.
pared with rivals Of similar class,
THE ALDrSE is a unique and Original
eonception-alone and unapproached-
absolutely without competition in prict
or character. The possessor of com
plete volume cannot duplicate thequan'
tity Of fine paper and engravings il
any other shape or number of volumei
tor ten times its cost; and then there il
the chrome, besides! - -
THE national feature ofTHEALDR1
must be taken In no narrow sense
True art Is cosmopolitan. While TIL
ALDNE Is a strictly American institu
ton, It does not confine itself entirely
the reproduetion Of native art. Its mis-
sion Is to cultivate a broad and appre
ciative art taste, one that viii discrimi
nate only on grounds Of intrinsic merit
Thus, while placing beibre the patrons
of9n ALDNE as a aleaIlDg character
istic, the productions Of the most noted
American artists, attention viii always
be given to specimens from foreign
masters, giving subscribers all the
pleasure and Instruction obtainabls
from home or foreign sources.
The artistic Illustration Of American
scenery, original with The ALDnSE, 4
an Important feature, and It's magnif-
cent plates are Of a size more apprO-
pirate to the satisfactory treatment Of
details than can be afforded by any In
ierior page. The IudIcious intersper-
sion Of landscape, marine figure, and
animal subjects, sustain an unabated
interest, impossible where the scope ol
the work confines the artist TOO closely
to a single style OF subject. The litera-
mre Of THE ALDRE is a light and
graceful accompaniment worthy Of
the artistic features, with only such
Technical dispositions as do mot inter
fere with the popular interest OF ths
work.
