The Revised Statutes OF the United
states.


A duodecimo volume has been pub
lished, made up of the blunders, some
of them very ludicrous, in the printing
of the Revised Statutes of the United
States. Indeed, the work is so full of
errors that, as we learn, the Govern.
ment is now engaged in getting out q
new edition. 1t will not be particular
ly gratifying to the thousands of law
yers who have bought the first edition
to find that they have paid for some
thing little better than waste paper
OF course every one who has occasion
frequently to consult the statutes wants
them in form to he depended on and
all such will have to buy the new edi-
ton.
A letter of Gen, w. b. Hazen of the
army of the United States, to Mr.. ely
mer, Chairman of the Congressional
Committee of Investigation, brings TO
light most extraordinary omission
from the Revised Statutes. He says
that law passed in 1866 requiring the
Commissiary Department to furnish
enlisted men, at cost, the articles
usually furnished them by suffers, has
been omitted from the volume! He
says the law would have saved two
million dollars year to the soldiers;
but, then, it would have stood in the
way OF the extortions of Belknap,
Marsh, Orvil Grant, and all that race
OF plunderers. = N. Y. Sun.

REPUBLICAN STATE CoNvENrIoN.-The
Commercial has been authorized by II.
p. Pickels, Esq, to say that a meeting
OF the Republican Executive Commit
tee will be held at the Clayton House. in
this city. on Thursday next, at o'clock,
r. M The time and place of holding
the State Convention to elect delegates
to the Cincinnati Convention will then
be chosen.
Upon being inquired of by CONNER
c'G1 representative, Mr.. Pickels said that.
from his opportunities for observation he
thought Blaine and Bristow are most
prominently mentioned in connection
with the Presidential nomination. with
the preference, if there be any, in favor
OF MIR. Blaine. Those known as "Ad-
mlnistration candidates" are, he saws
rarely spoken of, and he included in t6iF
list hessrs. Conkling and Morton.
This announcement is made to siv,
the que to such as can influence the col
ored members of the party to abandon
Morton and ConAling and centre upor
Blaine and Bristow.

THF REPUBLICAS DEFENCE, AND rrs APP
PRECIATIcN OF THE COMMERCIAL
From the Republican. of March 3ist.
LIBELLoUs.-The assert ton of the Com
mercidl that the Republican has served
without question party ends that were
disgraceful, and lent itself to personal
purposes, again and again, that were in
furious not only to the public interest
but even to the party which it pretends
to speak for" is libel upon the Repub-
| licans of this city, of this county, and OF
| this state. No better evidence of unreli-
bility need be quoted than this whole
sale vituperation. 1t is surprising that
| it should act with men whom it assails
or ask their sup port. After such an in
suit it can have no slams upon them. =
This abuse is worse than its detection at
the City Election in September, 1874,
when it advised against partisan action
in municipal affairs, and the result was
the defeat of the nominees Of the party
in the Sixth, Seventh and Ninth Wards,
and the bringing about the loss of patron
age which it now deplores. After such
language it ought to be prepared for any
fate, and not go whining around about
the loss of patronage and appealing to
men it has not only traduced but forced
from positions that they filled with cred
it 10 themselves and to the city.
Through il influence the the city has
been made Democratic, tho county has
been made Democratic, and the State
has become more hopelesy welded to
the Democracy than atany former per-
| iod in its history.
1t has been the most potent ally of the
Democracy, and if they had not with
drawn their patronage from it, it might
hava bean Infarred with grant nrOprlaty
that it was an understood thing from the
start. or in vulgar parlance, "a put up
job" Its ambition is overweening-ren-
dering it oblivious to the claims of old
and tried Republicans and blind to the
requirements Of courtsey or justice.
The men it ISLANDERS are its peers in
every respect, and it is surprising that it
should ask reward for an Injury ornppro-
baton for calumny.

The Enforcement Act.

The Commercial in long article dis
cusses the decision of the Supreme Court
on the Enforcement Act, and says the
GAZETTE Seems to Imagine that the
rulings of Judges Bradford and Strong In
the trial of Given have now been revers-
ed. On the contrary they are sustained.
Given has not a particle of encourage
ment for his claim for reimbursement
from the State or county in this deci-
SION"
was unnecessarily hurried there was no
sufficient reason as we believe for trying
it before decision was had upon the le-
galty of the Enforcement Act. The Con,-
usereiat, says
Now the second section, as our read
ers may see by reference thereto, is expli-
city confined to the protection of the cit
izen against being disqualified for the
exercise of the franchise, on account of
race, color, or previous condition" Its
scope is to provide a punishment for a
Stare officer who shall not, because of
race, color" &C., give equal opportunl-
ty to perform the prerequisites for vot-
ing. If he refuses to do his duty, because
OF that influence or animus, he violates
this law if he refuses on some other
ground, he does not-though he may
then become amenable to the State laws.
We remark, therefore, that an import
ant part of the Enforcement Act is, to all
practical intent, declared constitutional
and valid by this decision of the Supreme
Court. The idea that the whole scope
of the Act is defeated, as, (using the H.
lustration Of the New York Tribune one
puncture in balloon destroys it entire
ly, is altogether false. This is a fact of
more interest in this quarter than it may
be elsewhere, for it was upon the second
section of the Act that the indictments
were based on which Mr. Archibald Civ
en-, the collector of taxes for this county.
was convicted in the U. S. Circuit Court
Of Delaware, before Judges Strong and
Bradford"
We dissent entirely from the CONNER
eats opinion that the second section of
the Enforcement was declared consti-
tutional and valid by the decision of the
Supreme Court On the contrary we
believe that whenever, a case clearly
within that section shall be brought be-
fore the Court it will be ruled out. In
fact we believe that the whole law is de-
fective and that the Tribune is right in
its estimate, and that it will finally be
held to be unconstitutional"
We adhere to the opinion that the
States are bound to protect their officer.
appointed to execute their election laws
and as election laws are State laws
it becomes the duty of the State to pun
ish for dereliction of duty. That tn,
government has no right to invade ou
civil jurisdiction and undertake to pun
ish State officers for non performance o
duty. The government must assume t.
take the whole of the election laws un
der its jurisdiction or abandon the grounc
to the State. If it assumes to elect Repre-
sentatives and chose Senators then tn,
whole Federal fabric falls to the ground
and the Representative ceases to be I
State representative, and the chief aim o
the centraliem is gained.
