Tn. enforcement Act decisions.

The two opinions delivered in the Su-
preme Court yesterday by Chief Justice
Waite on cases arising under the Enforce
ment act of May 81, 1870. for acts committed
in Louisiana and Kentucky respectively, are
timely and will do much to mark moro
clearly the relations of the United States to
the various States in matters relat-
natural that in the period succeeding the
rebellion, when the centripetal forces evolved
in that great struggle were still acting, that a
republican Congress should overstep the
limits Of the constitution in its haste to
secure the moral and material fruits of giving
amendments forbade the States to ''abridge"
the privileges or immunities of any citizens
of the United States, or the right to vote Of
any citizens on account of race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude; but the
triumphant majority in Congress leaped at
once to the extreme of making the
appropriate legislation the vehicle
for creating new privileges which
the constitution did not confer, and
decreeing unconstitutional pains and penal
ties for the denial of the privileges so
created. With general election looming
up and the country in a calm mood to con-
slider constitutional limitations it is we'll
to hear the voice of the Supreme Court re-
buking such legislation, and declaring it in
operative for want of power and incapable,
in its penal parts, of application for want of
precision. In the Grant Parish case the in
dictment is completely riddled. In the opin-
ion of the Supreme Court the United States
cannot be called on to do ''mere police duty
in the States" the offences which the prison
ers we're charged with conspiring to commit
being such only as are within the scope of
State laws. The invasion of the right of as
sembly is forbidden to Congress, but it is
matter for the States to forbid such invasions
to its own citizens. And so with the other
offences conspiracy to commit which were
charged The Kentucky case presents
another branch of the subject, but equally
brings in clear light the constitutional
nullity of certain sections of the Enforce
ment act. Politically speaking, these deci-
sions will, doubtless, act injuriously on the
prospects of the republican party in the
South, but it is high TIME for return to
constitutional limits and no party is de-
serving of success that cannot win within
them

could sell four and half per cent bonds if
Congress would adopt the recommendation
of his last annual report extending the
period of redeemability from fifteen to
thirty years. The saving of interest by re-
funding the remaining 500, 900, 900 of six
per cent bonds in four and half per cent
bonds would be $500, 900 per annum,
which is greater saving to the Treasury
than the House will practically accomplish
with all its ostentatious fuss and parade.
BY this measure, which could be carried
through both houses in five days, enough
would be saved to pay the whole expenses Of
the Judiciary department, the whole ex-
penses of our foreign intercourse and the
whole expenditures for the Indians The
estimates for these three heads of expense
for the next fiscal year, as appears from the
ANNUAL report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, are as follows:-
For the Judicial Department ........... 8 4o3 600
For foreign intercourse. 352 900
Total. S12 $40 900
BY refunding the six per cent bonds at
four and a half per cent the saving of one
and half per cent interest on 500, 000,00
would amount to So 500, 900 per annum-an
economy which makes the pairing down of
diplomatic salaries proposed by the House
appear small and contemplate. But mas
much as no party advantage would accrue
from this great saving the democratic House
utterly neglects it. No political party can
acquire public confidence by thus sacrificing
obvious public interests to petty electioneer-
ing schemes.

CENTENNIAL s-REPuBLIcAN.-In
this centennial time it seems odd that in
the race for the Presidency thirteen can
didates should enter for the strife. Here are
the republican entries:-
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS. OF Massachuse,ls
HAMILTON FISH OF New York
ROSCOE CONKLING, OF New York.
JOHN JAY, OF New York.
E. d. MORGAN, OF New York.
W. NJ EvARTS of New York
b H. BRISTOw, OF Kentucky.
GOVERNOR HAYES of Ohio.
o. P. MORTON, of Indiana.

What does the canvass for the Presidency
thus far show? SO far the democrats are
concerned, simply what Maryat tries to ex-
plain in his novel, "Japhet in Search of a
Father" Here is a great party-once the
ruling party of the continent-that looks
only for men and is lame of principles.
Sinking in the Slough of Despond it calls
for whoever passes to help it upon dry
ground. We question if anything could be
more painful to proud, ambitious party, with
high traditions, than the penalty thus i'm
posed upon the democracy, the abandon
ment Of principles and the seeking for
man. But political necessities are immi-
nent, and no one knows what may come in
centennial year. If we could elect demo-
crat from the diamond cluster of thirteen
statesmen we now present, without OF
necessity, bringing the party into power,
what a comfort it would be 1t seems to be
the fate of good democrats that before they
enter upon the high Offices of the Republic
they should become republicans. 1t WINS
so with Hamlin, Johnson and Grant.
Would it not be we'll for some Of the thirteen
to follow the example?
AS to the republicans what shall we say
Here all the power converges upon Grant
and Conkling, and as the next President
will undoubtedly be republican-so far as
mere human eyes can see through the clouds
that darken the horizon-why should not
Grant and Conkling lay aside all mere per-
sonal and political ambition, and give the
party q candidate whose name will rally
around its flag all the winning elements OF
the party which has ruled the country since
the war began, or which will rule it In
oil probability until the generation which
fought the rebellion has been gathered to
its fathers ? Why not, in this centennial
time, with all hearts beating in unison with
the aspirations of the men who flourished in
the time that tried mems souls, select can
didate who will represent the highest aims
of the country. and not the promptings Of
mere party ambitions
Conkling and Grant can give us candi-
date and probably President Will Conk-
ling give us Grant or Grant Conkling? Or
will they strike hands and give us n man
who can unite and strengthen the party?

The SERvIAx GOVERNMENT, through its
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, assures Austria
Of its peaceful intentions regarding Turkey.
We will next learn that Portugal intends to
assume peaceful attitude toward Europe
generally. There is nothing needed but a
diplomatic assurance of this kind to settle
forever the difficulties Of the Old World.

The advance of modern journalism is seen
in nothing more clearly than the despatch
we published in the Sunday HERALD an
nouncing the departure of His Majesty the
Emperor of Brazil on his journey to tho
United States. We have no direct cable
communication with Brazil. Tho cable runs
from Rio Janeiro, the capital of that coun-
try, to London, and from London to New
York. 1t forms q triangle, and before
tho communication arrives ut New
York it may be said to reach the
third point of the mathematical combina-
ton. 1t is somewhat of tribute. to the
glory and power of England and its world
wide commercial supremacy that it should
be necessary, in forming direct connec-
ton between the greatest nation of South
America and the greatest nation of North
America to pay wayside tribute to the
British Empire. But such it is. The rela-
ton between the nations of the world,
the coming together of great communities,
the binding of continents far distant,
diversified in policy, religion and tradition,
form a singular evidence, not only of the in
ternational union of modern civilization,
but of the great power of the press.
The visit of the Emperor of Brazil is an
event interesting in itself and politically of
great consequence to America He comes
not only as q prince of illustrious and
ancient lineage, but as the representative
of sister nationality, anxious to pay a
compliment to our Republic in this centen-
NAL period of its growth. However re-
markable it may be to embody in the daily
chronicle of current events despatch as i'm
portant as that published in the HERALD of
Sunday, it is no less remarkable to note the
binding together of the nations typifed.
The almost omnipresent element of
modern journalism is thus shown.
HERALD correspondents spring up all
over the world almost on the theory
of spontaneous vegetation. We scarcely
knew we had a correspondent in Brazil until
the modest pulsatlons of the cable acquainted
us with his presence and with the fact that
he was the comrade of great emperor on
his errand of grace and comfy; and we are
so impressed with this phenomenon that it
would not at all surprise us, in the event of
Mr.. Stanley being lost in Africa, to learn that
he had been rescued by another HERALD cor
respondent of whose existence we knew
nothing.
Thus journalism is becoming as universal
as the air. A great American essayist, the
greatest of his time has said that the world is
bathed with love as with fine ether. We may
take this pretty conceit from the lips of the
illustrious author and say that one of the
remarkable evidences of modern civilization
is that all the world and oil who inhabit it
its rulers and its subjects, its kings and its
citizens-are bathed with the spirit OF enter
prise as shown in journalism, even as the
myriad worlds that roll through space are
wrapped in the ether of universal space

A MARKED CHANGE IN THE WEATHER may be
expected during the coming week. which will
probably terminate the winter season in New
York. During the next few days the Southern
States will be visited by succession of rain
storms from the westward, which are likely
to cause rapid rise in the Mississippi.
Arkansas and Red Rivers, and possibly in
the Ohio from its southern tributaries, the
Tennessee and Cumberland. Great inunda-
tions of the bottom lands will result from
these storms. The spring floods will be con-
siderably augmented by the melting of the
SHOWS in the upper valleys and the noun
tain regions to the westward, and it will be
wise to take timely precautions regarding
them. A rain storm is among the probabilities
in the Lower Missouri Valley. The Hudson,
Delaware and Susquehanna being outside
the storm area, and free from ice,
will flow with increased but not
extraordinary volumes, due to the melting
Of the limited amount Of snow over their
respective watersheds. During the move
meut Of the areas Of low barometer now
existing in the West and Southwest the winds
in the vicinity of New York will be north
easterly and northerly, shifting to north
westerly, with cold, after the passage of each
storm centre across our meridian. If the
storms are diverted to the northeastward by
the Allegheny Mountains we may expect
heavy rains in Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New York but there is but slight proba-
bility of this occurring from present indica-
tons. Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi,
Georgia, South Carolina and Northern FlN-
ida will set the largest share of the rainfall.
"norther" is likely to occur in the Indian
Territory and Texas.

Trusteeship and tho Laws.

1t is the presumed function of the law in
civilized society to SO clearly define the rela-
tons of men to one another and to authority
that involuntary trespasses upon q mans
rights will be impossible, while designated
penalties will make the other sort dangerous,
and it is supposed that law thus secures life
and property No doubt it does so, though we
perforce, from the frequency of examples,
are compelled often to reflect upon the in
security of both in this metropolis. But if
we imagine for a moment what our condi-
ton would be in the absence of all law we
can see how great is really the security given
by the administration of justice in our courts,
so commonly believed to be corrupt and
partial. If all the moral restraint of the
law were taken away we should, instead of
murder a week, have hundred day and
instead of the complaint of dishonest prac-
tees on every hand that now fill the air and
that the people hear in some new form
every morning with dismay and surprise,
the real surprise would be to hear of any
property whatever that a man could hold
unless he stood over it night and day with
cooked revolver. Justice and the law there
fore certainly do o great deal for u.s. but
they might do more. There are many points
in our social organization that it entirely
neglects and where the guarantee it could
give is greatly needed. One of these is tho
point that relates to the custody of property
by trustees or executors to whom power is
given under n will to deal with the wealth
of others. Here, rs in some other points, it
seems to be clear that the defects of the law
are due to the fact that society grows and
changes, develops new relations, new con-
ceptions of older relations, even gets new
ideas of what is honest and what is dishon-
est, and the law does not grow accordingly,
but continues nearly what il was before, as
if it were in fossil state. Some of the
greatest crimes practised in our time against
property have no names whatever in the law,
and the authorities can only get Mt them bv
roundabout! processes and fctions; and
while subtle genius thus evades its grasp
the law plods. son forever and forever with its
old-fashioned crimes of forgery and burglary
and the rest, as. if its function were not TO
make property safe, but only TO consign
to prison yearly q certain number of
small criminals. Our Legislature needs 10
be revolutionized a little in this. 1t should
be made statutory crime for q trustee TO
defraud the heirs Of an estate committed to
his charge. 1t is monstrous that it is not a
crime already under our laws.
