| The decision has, however, produced one
signal and salutary effect. It has extorted
the admission from those who have assert
ed the sovereignty of the State. that the
federal government is supreme, and that
the decisions of the federal tribunals is
the highest power of construction known
to the law.
Wa do not know that the Picayane as .
violent partisan paper, fully co~mprehends
the force of its own admissions when it
utters the following language:
The Supreme Court of the United States
has confirmed the decision of Justice Brad
ley in the case of the Grant parish prison
ers. The announcement will be hailed with
| delight everywhere by all friends OF coneti-
t~utiOnal government. The reserved rights
of the States have been recognized by the
| highest judicial tribunal in the land; the
| conditions upon which the Union was
~lessness of the party which insists upon
what it calls ''the higher law" has received
q final and overwhelming rebuke.
We would like some logical reasoner of
the Calhoun school to analyse the fatal ad-
missions contained in the paragraph
| quoted. The men who contended for
''the reserved rights of the State" denied
the power Of the federal government, in
any or all of its departments, to construe
the rights of the States. They affirmed
that in all cases in which the rights alleged
to have been reserved were inquestion, the
States alone had the right to Judge in the
last resort, of the mode and measure of
construction and redress.
The Southern States all affirmed this
doctrine in their act of secession. They
expressly denied the right of the federal
government to decide the differences be-
tween the States and the government.
The Legislature Of Louisiana expressly
asserted ''the right of a sovereign State to
secede or withdraw from the government
of the federal union and resume her orig
inal sovereignty when in her judgment
such act becomes necessary" We heard
then no such doctrine as that the decree
of the highest judicial tribunal in the land
would be hailed with delight ''by all
friends of constitutional government"
Had the State rights men of that period /
held with the organs of State rights to-
day, they would have said: There is q
question in issue between the federal and
State governments. Let i: be decided by |
the Congress or the courts of the United |
States.
For the Republicans, the loyal language
of those who inveigh with such bitterness
against the acts of the federal government
gives US sincere pleasure. It is true that
the escape Of parties charged with deeds
Of political violence may have evoked
this tardy recognition of a principle de-
cided by the war, and recorded in the
amendments of the federal and State con-
situations, but we still hope it is a sincere
conviction, and that although the Plea
yune lately criticised the centennial dis
play by presenting a catalogue of scandal
GUS imputations, without reciting a re-
deeming quality, We trust that it may
abide by the new creed. That creed is,
that the reserved rights of the States are
Just what the highest federal tribunal in
this land shall decree them to be.

RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.

Were we a member Of any Republican
convention, club, committee, or other
caucus, we should move the adoption of
resolutions somewhat of this sort:

THE POLITICAL RESERVES.

The various parties organized for the
coming campaign indicate a condition OF
discomfort with the principal national
organization as they are represented here.
The Conservative party fears to trust the
Democracy with power because of the
radicalism and violence which it has
manifested upon so many imminent oc-
casions within the last four years. The
large and respectable body calling them
selves Southern Republicans may have
some reason for dissatisfaction with the
regular Republican organization, while
the Independents manifest a wish
to advocate some practical admin
istrative policy, or to support some
nomination not obnoxious to objec-
tons for incompetency or want of irteg-
rity. We have only suggested the motives
for these several and separate parties, be-
cause they propose no national utilization
AID propose no issues which may not
be deprived in a single campaign. Re-
cognizing the Conservative as the repre-
sentative Of the old Wing element, it may
be inferred that it will demand the con-
troll Of any canvass conducted against the
Republican party. We may even infer
that if the established principles of the
Republican party shall be represented by
an unexceYtionable ticket the Conserva-
tive party would rather see it sue
cessful than to contribute to the
renewed disturbances of a Democratic
administration. Our observations will be,
therefore, confined to the political secta-
rams who are not satisfied with either the
Republican, Conservative or Democratic
organizations. We may suppose that
these third or intermediate parties can
hold in reserve eight or ten thousand
votes. Would it not be wise that they
should hold themselves in position to be-
stow these votes in favor of such a ticket
as may be in person and in principle con-
formable to the moral and mental stand
ard protested by such Independent reform
It is not for us to suggest the
mode in which this shall be done, whether
by proposing nominations on the prin-
cipal tickets, by scratching or compound
tickets.
We sum that a third or inte, mediate
party can elect its ticket against the regu-
ar tickets of the c%ontending national
and on that ground think that a
reserve, although composed
# different arms of political service, may
'ender a patriotic and decisive aid to the
'ause of responsible government.

FEDERAL SUPREMACY ACKNOWLEDGE

4A0AA0o ~ sAAAOA 0OANV 41OUGO.
The Supreme Court has decided that
it was not charged in the information
against the citizens of Louisiana arraign-
ed for violation of the rights of American
citizens, that they had done SO with the
intent to violate these rights because the
parties aggrieved were persons Of color.
Had this intent been charged and proven,
the decision would have imposed the pen
alties Of federal law for so doing.
The discharge of these prisoners has
given natural pleasure to their friends,
and we, respecting the authority of the
law, acquiesce in its decisions without re-
gard to their effect upon persons or par
ties. We should think that those politi-
clans who melted these prisoners to vio-
late the law as those others who sent Ku-
hlu1 to the State prison at Auburn
would feel a deep responsibility from the
risk Of punishment, and the actual trouble
occasioned the victims Of bad advice.
