We respect the opiions Of the statesmen OF
old, for they were the result of deep thought
They were not formed, however, in the initi,-
ton Of our system of government. by the
lights of experience They were theoretical
and experimental. Mr.. Tucker has his head
full OF the thoughts OF these theorsts-so full
inleed, that he does not seem to have room for
anything else After a trial of a hundred
years, we have found that the theory OF State
Rights is entirely impraeticable and incenss
tent WITH the growth and perpetuity of the
constitutions which our forefathers Inaugural
ted. When a thing has been tried, aad fatally
failed, there is no wisdom in trying it again.
The doctrine of State Rights, as held by tie
disciples of Calhoun, is Inconsistent with Il Q
development Of our national ngth-colltra-
dictory of the very idea that must mould our
destiny national unity" and being SO, as
sad experience has taught the South, why hug
the delusion and roll it as sweet ynor>el under
the tongue? ,sa45. iasae1 'Q ss5 iele
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1876-02-03

DEMOCRATIC HARMoNY.-M Mr.. Tucker in
his speech in Congress, speaking of the Consti
tuition, said the Convention did not make it,
but the estates made it, That is the old
State Rights doctrine. -
Mr.. Holman, OF Indiana, another Democrat
but from another latitude and of different pc
litcal education, replies, that it was 1.-THE SOW
creignty of til. people, and not the sovereignty
of the States, on which the political powers Of
the Government rested.''
In the light Of the accomplished events OF
the past twelve years., Mr.. Holman is right
Under the inspiration of the. text books of the
University of Virginia, studied by Mr.. Tucker
when he was boy. and the writings Of john
c. Calhoun, Mr.. Tucker is right.
Which will the people cndorse-the practi-
call progressive and rational position OF Mr.
Holman, or the exploded fallacy Of Mr.. Tuck
er? Mr.. Tucker ought to be wise enough tc
get out of the lava beds. He is old enough tc
have acquired alittle practical. useful learning
and were he to, study closely the example and
life OF the great man whose grave he SO watch
fully defends, and apply the lesson they sug
gest, lie would be more useful.

A SHOCKING TRAGEDY.-[Ba rboursville w.
Va, January 22.]-Charles f. Meeling. prom
inent young gentleman of Cabell county, was
to- day found murdered and buried in his sta
Bile. He disappeared Sunday night, and not
having been seen since, persons commenced
tliligent searching for his body this morning.
The suppositon is that Meeling was murdered
by his wife and Edward Williams. Williams
has been for some time accused OF unlawful
conduct with Meetings. wife. Mr.. Charles
Miller says he saw Meelng ON Wednesday,,
but Mrs. Mceling and Williams reported him
absent since Monday. This raised suspicion.
He evidently was killed Wednesday or since.
Williams and Mrs. Meclng have been arrested,
and arc now in Cabell county Jail. A coro-
ner's jury has been acknowledgement tete-
gram to the Dispatch.
LATER Saturday night Williams was hanged
by a mob, after eaafcssing his guilt. Mrs.
Meeling also confessed her guilt, and the mob
voted unanimously to hang her, but no one
could be found to put tile rope around herne
and she was taken back to jail. She said Viii
liams had been her paramount for three years ;
that she had been trying for the past three
months to poison her husband without success;
that Williams struck Meeling on the head with
an axe while he was asleep Wednesday night,
after cutting his throat. She assisted in de-
stroying evidence of the murder and in bury
ing Meeting.

A Graphic Picture

The Chicago Times, Democratic, thus de-
seribes the majority party in Congress. 1t is
rather mere graphic than complimentary, and
goes to show the discordant elements that it is
expected to fuse and consolidate to win the
Presidential prize Of 1876:
sThe Confederate majority in Congress is
an incoherent conglomeration Of dscordant
and contradictory political odds and ends. An
inharmonious mob Of grotesque political patch
work, it is united by no common basis of prin-
ciple, and held together by no uAity OF political
opinions and desires. 1t is bedy without a
head, without cohesion of parts, without COIL
sistency of ideas on any political question OF
the time. 1t is worse than an organized con.
tradction, for it involves u multitude of con-
tradctions without any coherent organization
