'r"ar WAITE; ..,.s. rE .., ON rns

Although matter OF general interest,
the extreme length Of Chief Justice
waite's decision on the Force Bill has pre-
vented many Journals from publishing 1t
and deferred many readers from reading 1t.
The cntcrprising Washington correspon-
dent Of the New Orleans Tip,ss. In y letter
to that paper. gives the details Of u CONVEX
sation with Judge Jere Black, in which
that distinguished jurist gave the sense OF
the decision, Invested Of legal technicali-
ties, and In such language that persons.
unlcarncd in the law, may comprehend
the full meaning of Judge Waite's opin-
ion. 1.-The decision explicitly
sets FORTH" said Judge Black,
'that the government OF the United States
as a government, cannot protect or de-
'fend any right which 1t did not itself Or
'iginate. The right to bear arms, to vote,
and the rights Of assemblage and petit
'tlon. were inherent in the States long be-
fore the present federal constitution was
framed. Therefore the federal constitu-
'tion has no right to interfere in any way
with these exclusive prerogatives Of the
States.
"The first important admission OF the
supreme court Is that Us these rights are
clearly stated as existing In the constitu
'tion. the general government can neither
interfere with them, nor pretend to en-
force or regulate them. The constitu-
'tional amendments do not change or al
ter the relations between the States and
'thc general government. They only de-
clare that persons having otherwise the
right to vote, shall not be DISTINGUISHED
by reason of race, color. or previous con.
'lition Of scrvItudc."
In regard to the popular misapprehcn.
SION "a to the scope of the amendments.
Judge Black declared he had never met
with a lawyer of ability. no matter what
his politics were. who held the opinion
that an amendment TO the constitution
conferred the right OF suffrage.
The amendments may remove one OF
the obstacles in the way of acquiring
the right of suffrage. and this is all they
can do. Suffrage is right granted by
the State, and when bestowed, 1t Is a
personal right vested In the voter. Tho
State protects him In its exercise. and
can alone punish those who attempt to
interfere with it. This was tho decision
given by the supreme court, and though
IL does not expressly declare certain sec
tons Of the bill unconstitutional, yet ii
makes any conviction under the act an
impossibility. by providing that all ale
cations in an indictment under IL must be
iroren, which cannot bc done, a. II is a
matter OF impOsslbility 10 prove Il mans
motives in assaulting another at the polls.
We have given in very nearly Judge
Blacks own plain language, his cOnstruc-
d the most important decision that las
been rendered by Judge Waite.

THE ST. LOUIS wmlsKEY TRIALS.

In the United States circuit court at
st. Louis on Saturday. Judge Treat pro-
nounced sentence against Col. Mcguire,
convicted some months ago of completely
In the whisky frauds. Maguire's sentence
Is fine of five thousand dollars and i'm
prlsonment in the county Jail for six
months. which Is the largest fine and the
! shortest term of imprisonment allowed
by the statutes Of the United States. Ma
gliire was released from the custody OF
the marshal. on parole, and permitted his
liberty until Sunday noon. at which time
he was ordered to report to the marshal
and submit to the sentence of the court.
His friends In ST. Louis, Including some
Of the best citizens OF the city," says the
st. Louis Globe, have prepared a petition
TO President Grant for his pardon,
@Orded as follows:
ST. LOrIs. April 8, lS79.-Iiis Excel
lency Ulysses 5. Grant, President of the
United States-Dear Sir: The UNDER
signed, citizens Of st. Louis, composed Of
all political parties and all political
creeds. and having large property and
commercial interests In the city OF st.
Louis, do respectfully represent to your
Elk :ellency, that We have long personal
acquaintance with Col. Constantine Ma
guire. and that his present troubles have
arisen through his bOundless good nature,
and the unfortunate circumstances which
surrounded him and not from anv innate
disposition to contravene the lifelong
principles Of honor and probity which
have characterized his career. The coun-
gel for the government have admitted
that they have no evidence showing that
he received single cent during his Off
cial career, and we SO believe. We there
fore pray that your Excellency will eX-
ercise your high privilege OF pardon. and
remit the penalties which the law forced
the judges to impose upon him, and we
Will ever pray, etc.
After the disposal OF Maguirc's case,
VIM. Mckee was taken into court and
Judge Dillon proceeded to read the de-
cison Of the court against new trial.
Judge krum, counsel for defendant. an
nOunced that there was a motion on file
in arrest OF judgment; the court
ordered counsel on both sides to submit
briefs cmbodying the points, aud stated
that decision would be rendered within
two weeks.
In the case OF Avery, Judge krun an
nounccd that he was IN Washington, out
of money. aud unable to get to st. Louis,
and suggested that IL the court would
postpone action, the friends OF Avery
would raise the funds TO pay his way to
st. Louis. The court postponed the case
till Thursday.
