The Hon. Henry Stanberry of Cincin-
natl, ex-Attorney- General OF the United States,
has written an sbie constitutional argument
upon the South Carolina case, condemning
Grants use OF Federal troops 10 the State.
Among other things, he said:
In all our political history, from the beginning
down to the Centennial year, cannot call to
mind any armed Intervention BY the Federal
Government. based upon proclamation
and the military orders In question except
to put down an insurrectiOn. The ul-
rising Of the people Of Rhode Island
TO overthrow the Government of that
State aud change its Constitution by force Of

was OF that character. Inere has been a great
deal Of domestic violence In many Of the States

its Queensland substitute LINEN law IN place Of
the lawful authority, ami vigilance committees
ia place Of the regular State officials aud all
these have been wisely lett TO be dealt with ny

interference. Iney prefer that their political
contests and their individual rights bali be kept
sacred from the military power. Imperfect IA
