STATE RIGHTS

Last Monday, Baker, of Indiana, in
troduced the following resolution in the
House of Representatives:
"Resoloed, That the people of the
United States constitute one Nation
and not a mere confederacy of States
or Nations; that the Constitution was
formed by the people acting in their
primary and individual capacity through
their delegates thereto duly constituted; !;
that the government under the Consti-
tuition is one of the people, by the peo-
pie. and for the people, and that in its
appropriate sphere, the government of
this Nation is sovereign and supreme;
tina. in its nature it is permanent and
indissoluble, except by the action and
consent of the whole people; that no
State has any right or authority to judge
of the constitutionality of the laws en-
acted by Congress, or to nulify the exc
cution of the same; that all overt acts
by any State, or by the people thereof.
of secession therefrom, or of rebellion
against the same, constitute treason;
and that the late war of the rebellion for
the dismemberment of the Union was
causeless and indefensible on any theory
of right or of Constitutional law.
On a motion to suspend the rules, the
yeas and nays were called for, and the
motion was lost, only 92 voting to sus-
pend, while - voted against. Failing
to have the two-thirds majority requi-
site to suspend the rules, Sam Cox made
an abortive effort to be funny over the
matter, but failed. Very few Demo
Gratis voted for if, among them were
Durand, of Mich. Hardenburg. of n.
J. jerks, of Pa. New, of Ind. Phelps,
of Conn; Potter, of Mich; Vance. of
Ohio, and s. s. Williams, of Mich. All
the Republicans voted for it, and all
the Southern Democrats against it, and
most all the Northern Democrats re-
Trained from voting. Before the vote
was announced, Mr.. Baker Rep.), of
N. Y, called the attention of the Chair
to the fact that many members were
present who were not voting. and he
made point of order that they be CON-
PEELED to vote. The Speaker overruled
the point of order.
Mr.. Cox On. Y then introduced
milk and water resolution, family con-
demning secession, and filled with the
usual twaddle about State rights and
constitutional guarantees. The yeas and
nays were called for on motion to sus-
pend the rules, and the resolutions
were adopted by a vote of $50 to ~.
The resolution of Mr.. Baker, of Indi-
ana. was well-defined, clear-cut con-
demnation of the heresy of secession,
and the Democratic House, as much
under the lash of the South as in the
palmiest days of slavery. refused TO pass
it. A few of these dough-faces were
elected as Republicans.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
vietory Perehe> Upon the Republican Banner.

Dispatches from Concord, New Hanp-
shire, confirm the news yesterday receiv-
ed of an overwhelming victory for the
Republican ticket. One year ago the
Republican party was successful by a
plurality Of only 172 votes, and this year
the Democracy left no stone unturned
to over come this small majority. They
counted Oh. an easy victory and left
nothing undone TO secure ii, as it was
the first gun of the campaign which will
close with a new occupant for the White
House The New York World of Mon
day last gave the expectations of the
party in the following brief paragraph: ::
We look to New Hampshire TO morrow
for l, 600 or ], POO of Democratic ma
jority, and Legislature that will send
a sterling Democrat to the United States
Senate in place Of that partisan of small
mental calibre, Mr.. Cragin.
But the Republicans were on the alert
feeling that ''as New Hampshire goes, so
goes the Union, and they met their op-
ponents with solid front and undismay-
ed. The following result, for the last
five elections preceding, with the result
this year, as near as can be ascertained,
shows the magnitude of this significant
victory.

TIE SPRING ELECTIONS.

1t will he wise policy on the part of
our Republicans in the different town
ships, in this county, to hold primary
meetings and put tickets in the fields for
the various township officers. Good,
tried and honest men should be selected,
such as will poll the full strength of the
party. Then every vote should be got
out. Not one Republican should stay
at home. Our opponents will be out in
force, and will endeavor to make capital
for the State and Presidential out of
the result of the Spring elections. Let
the true and tried Republicans of the
county be on their watch Never mind
if you are in the minority. Keep vour
organization intact and in working or
der. Let your motto be, Hancock
county can and must be redeemed" Put
forward your best men, and work as did
your compeers in New Hampshire.

shown by this rebuke of the Democracy
that they recognize the fact, that while
corruption exists in the Republican party
that organization is able and willing to
punish its thieves, and that nothing can

"YOUNG GREENBACRNrn

The Belkrap impeachment business
hangs fire. Mr.. Clymer interrogated
Marsh just long enough to make, as he
fondly hoped, a case against Belknap,
and then hurried him off to Canada,
offering, in his anxiety TO get him out of
the country, to collect his fees and send
them to his address. 1t having leaked
out in the meantime that Geo. H. Pen
dleton, "Gentleman George" knew
something that would be OF interest to
the Committee, that gentleman was
called, and while denying that he had
ever paid any money TO Mrs. Belknap.
he acknowledged that as administrator
of the Bowler estate, which represented
three-fifths of the Kentucky Central
Railroad, he had employed himself as
attorney and collected claim from the
Government, which had been repeatedly
disallowed, and out of this modest claim
of S14S, 900, he had paid himself the
snug fee of $4,000 Now, when the
fact is taken into consideration that this
claim had been refused peremptorily at
three different times. and that Mr.. Pen
dleton succeeded in hurrying it through
in one day, and bagging $50, 900 by the
operation, it leaves a room for very
strong presumption that Mr. Pendleton
had ''seen" some one. Then, the fact
that, as administrator. he had employed
and paid himself such snug little
Bonanza, would go to show that a
Democratic Presidential candidate un-
derstands how to turn an honest penny.
No wonder he could make the tour of
Europe with bis family.

demand for a throwing overheard OF
the professional politicians, and call
for new men to come TO the front, men
not involved in entangling alliances, or
mixed in any way with what is known as

dickens with the regulars. The people
are not in the humor to be fooled with
just now, ara the action Of the Union
League CLUB is significant. The mem-
beTs do not propose to quit the party,
but tEey do propose TO cleanse it. They
will have none but clean men. The

Right or wrong, there Is a terrible feel

do what it did in 1854, when Sherman.
Colfax, BurliDgame, and the now old
leaders of the Republican party came to
the surface That Congress was made up
almost entirely of new men, and so will
the next be. He will be a very clean
man who survives the impending storm.
Belknap, Schenck, and the other con
victed as well as suspected ones, have
done the young aspirants of the country
an immense service.
BUSINESS
continues as usual. New York is sitting
down with folded hands, and is eating
itself up. There no business whatever
in fact the doing of business is rapidly
becoming one of the lost arts. The
spring time is coming, and it is hoped
that there will be a revival, and we have
been so hoping for three long, dreary
years. Rents are falling every day. and
landlords consider themselves lucky to
have their buildings occupied at any rent
at all. 1t is very bad. There were 112
failures this week.
THE HEALTH
of the city is bad. The unreasonable
weather-it is as warm as an ordinary
June-has brought influenza, rheuma-
tism, and fevers of all kinds, and all
these ailments are of a fearfuIly lnalig-
nant type. The death rate is terrible
among the poor, and the rich aud we'll
cared for suffer almost as severely.
