lMOSBYS GUERRLLLAS.

Who would have thought to see the
day when the notorious guerrilla chief,
Col. John S. Mosby, whose deeds during
the war are as familiar as the horrors OF
Andersonville, would be adopted as an
authority by the Republican party .petted
by the President, recognized by the Ad-
minstration, and put mp as leader for
Hayes and Wheeler Yet the fact is 80.
We have before us pamphlet of four
pages, containing letter of John s.
Mosby to the New York Herald, dated
August IL. 1875, followed by the editorial
comments of that paper. Thispamphlet
is now circulated by hundreds of thou
sands from Washington, by Zach Chan
dlers committee. and the copy in our
possession was obtained directly from
that sourse. Mosby was Jealous third
termer, and when the scheme failed he
fell back naturally on the ticket which
was nominated to continue Grantism,
No individual is stronger at Washington
with the powers that be than this same
guerrilla chief He drove profitable
business as an office broker while Grant
was seeking a denomination; and his in
fuence to-day is stronger even than it
was then as was recently shown in the
most positive way. Major Griswold, one
of Mosby's band, was lately appointed to
place in the Treasury, with salary OF
ST 800 year, upon the direct recommen-
dation of Grant. Chapman, another Of
the same band, only failed to secure a
special agency of the post Office depart
raent because of difficulty with Jewell
in consequence of which Mosby turned
round and helped to drive him out of the
cabinet. At the very time when Zach
Chandler and his crew were falsely
charging the Democrats with removing
Union soldiers from the House of Repre-
sentatives, they themselves are appoint
ing Mosby's guerrillas in the departments
and turning out soldiers, s,soldiers' widows
soldiers children, and others equally
worthy, in order to make place for these
favurites of the Administration, friends
of the proDinent, and champions Of
Hayes.-Ne1O York Sun

THE PEOPLE MOVING-IMPORT-
ANT URFACE INDICATIONS--
THREE STA TES HA We SPOKEN.

Since the opening of the present rolit-
icaI campaign, four States have spoken
through the ballot-box, namely, Arkan-
sas, Alabama, Vermont and Maine. In
the last Presidential election, 1872, the
same States voted as follows:
Alabama by 10,S2S Republican major
ity, ~
Vermont by 3O,54O Republican major
ity,
Maine 80 900 Republican majority.
The results in these same States this
year are:
Alabama $4,000 Democratic majority
Arkansas 10000 Democratic majority,
Vermont 24000 Republican majority,
Maine $4,000 Republican majority.
The loss and gain are:
Alabama $4,000 Democratic gain.
Arkansas $4,000 Democratic gain.
Vermont 5000 Democratic gain.
Democratic gain about i6, 900 in Maine
Republican loss, 5000 in Vermont.
Republican loss about 5000 in Maine,
Republican loss, $4,000 in Arkansas.
Republican loss, $1,000 in alabama.
The leaders of the sick party are vel
come to all the consolation they can
draw from these figures.

LOOK ON THIS PICTURE, AND
THEN ON THIS.

The State ofOhio has two citizens in
high places in the Federal Government.
They are Morrison R. Waite, Chief JUS
tice of the United States, and Alonzo
Taft, Attorney General.
When Mr.. Waite was appointed Chief
Justice, he was very little known in the
eastern portion of the Union. He has
made for himself national reputation of
the highest kind All his decisions have
been marked by ability, learning, and
good sense; but his constitutional opin-
ions have been conspicuously sound,
logical and conservative. Especially has
this been true of his opinions in the cases
involving the scope and meaning of the
late amendments ofthe Constitution.
tits the custom ofthe Court, we believe,
for the Chief Justice to pronounce the
judgment ofthe Court in all cases involv-
ing important constitutional questions;
and well has the nsChief Justice per
formed this duty. His opinions in the
cases decided last March on the effect
and meaning of the Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth Amendments are models of clear,
cogent, and luminous judicial reasoning.
They nullifed the provisions of the so
called Enforcement and Civil Rights acts
of Congress, which had undertaken to
exercise powers that belong exclusively
to the States. They made it perfectly
clear that the prohibitions Of the amend
meuts are directed against the acts of
State, and not against the acts of indivi-
duals; that the guarantees which they
afford to the civil rights Of persons are
guarantees against the infringement of
those rights by the States, but that the
rights themselves are not granted by the
amendments, since they existed before
the amendments and before the Federal
Constitution itself. They exist under
and are granted by the Stales, and not by
or under the United States.
All that the United States do is to guar.
antee that no State shall create and ine-
quality of rights between its citizens, or
withhold from any of them rights which
it grants to any others. In the matter Of
suffrage, these opinions put an end at
once and forever to the idea that the right
of suffrage is granted by the Fifteenth
Amendment. They establish that the
power and duty OF the Uaited States are
limited to the protection of those who
havethe rightto vote. from any discriml-
nation on account of their race, color or
previous condition ofservitude; and hen
ce that the duty of protecting voters in
the exercise Of the right of suffr ige,
whether they are whites or colored men,
rest with each State, as part Of its general
police powers. All this was quite con-
trary to the Republican theory of the
amendments, which had assumed that
they we're the sources of the civil rights
of individuals, and consequently that
they conferred on Congress general
power to legislate for the protection Of
those rights against infringem-nt by in
dividual acts, individual distractions, OF
individual combinations or conspiracies
When Mr.. Taft was made Attorney
General, few months ago, nothing wa:
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-10-05

known Of him out Of the State Of Ohio
Nothing is known Of him now, excepting
that he has issued an official circular
which not only ignores the late decisions
of the Supreme Court, but which cannot
be law if those decisions are law. 1t is
certain that Mr.. Taft has instructed 'he
Marshals to enforce as law provisions OF
statutes which the Courthave pronounced
unconstitutional and imperative. i is
certain that he has instructed the Mar
shals that they are requiredto guard the
highest right Of citizens" when the sup,
RENE Court have declared thatthe Unitea
States have no such power and no such
duty. 1t is certain, too, that this executive
officer, Attorney General of the United
States, has instructed the Marshals that
thew NAV use armed man in exercising
at the polls protection OF voters when
the Supreme Court have explicitly de-
clared belongs exclusively to the police
powers ofthe States ltis certain that he
has told the Marshals that the late de
cisions do not concern Federal cleo
tons" when it is as clear as the sun al
nooday that the decisions affect and limit
the power of the United States IN the
whole matter Of voters and voting, with
out reference to the kind or purpose OF
the election.
What is going to be done about this ex-
traordinary defiance OF the Supreme
Court-what can be done outit--events
will show. Whether this attempt OF the
Executive to overthrow the independent
authority ofthe States, which the Supreme
Court have explicitly declared belong to
the States, and in respect to which the
Court have drawn clear and sharp line
of discrimination, will be allowed to pass
unnoticed by any form of public action
or correction, we cannot tell. AT all
events, the Attorney General and the
President must answer tor 1t before the
tribunal of public opinion,
Mr.. Taft has gone home to Ohio, 1t is
said, for the purpose oftaking the stump:
We hope the people of the State will call
upon him to defend himself. Ohio has
a bar which ought to be able to furnish
men who can stripe this circular OF Its
sophistries and assumptions, or who can
demonstrate that it is consistent with the
decisions Of the Supreme Court and with
the law of the land. Let the bar Of Ohio
speak on the subject; let the lawyers OF
the State explain it to their fellow citizens;
and let the people of the State determine:
whether when thew furnished Chief
Justice to the United States, they sent to
the highest seat of judgment man who
could be told by Alonzo Taft that the
United States possess powers which the
Chief Justice and his brethren have over
looked, and which they were not compe-
tent to discover-M Y Sept 23d.

GOVERNOR T1LDRN's visit to Philadel-
phia two weeks, Thursday, was quite q
card for the Centennial. The reception
extended our next President was as en-
thusiastic as it could possibly be. The
Governor must have felt hattered at the
grand reception he received, and the
hearty applause which greeted him. One
hundred and twenty-one thousand peo-
pie visited tie Centennial grounds on
the occasion of the Governors visit,
twenty thousand or more going from
New York alone

WHEN Chandler, a Cabinet officer, and
Chairman of the National Republican
Committee, said he would rather see
every man, woman and child in the South
put to the sword than see the Democratic
party restored to power, he but express

elect Hayes. "Blood letting" Chandler
is still ready to shed others blood--not

The Louisiana Republicans are divi.
ded and discouraged. Packard's nomin-
alton for Governor disgusted many Of
them, and Pinchback and Warmoth are
so disturbed that they will take no part
in the canvass in the State. Mr.. Pinch

Packard.

The Custom-house ring of the Repub-
lican party in New York is quarreling.
John Cochrane's Liberal Republican
crew is the bone of contention. They
insist on share of spoils in advance. A
quarrel inside the party in New York
city will more or less injure Morgan's
chances of success in the State, and his
chances are thin, and, like Hayes's, be-
coming beautifully less in the Empire
State every day.

Tho dust Of years is on thor graves
Who made our country free.
Yet still across our strengthened land
The gales Of Freedom blow,
We love the mon who filled her ranks
Ono hundred years ago.
And in the years that came and lied
Since Freedom raised hor shield,
Her arm was strong, her flag waved high,
On many a battlefield.

Her noble ensign low,
Forgetting those who fought for her
One hundred years ago.
IT'S true the dust that folds their graves,
Has gathered on some hearts,
For trait'rous thoughts creep through the door
Whence honesty departs.
Yet still in all the years gone by,
Some hearts have felt the glow
That fired the land where Freedom ted,

To fire mems hearts again. $4,000.

Still may thy music flow;
And Freedom reign, whose throne was raised

Tho sexton In his little tower each night
Kindled blaze, and set him 10 his task
OF weaving weary thoughts. A broken cask,
Near by, contained his store Of warmth and light
And dreams,-for from It's Pickering blaze, the FIRE
Cast wondrous, trembling shadows on tho WALL
And goams, that strove, with ghosty rise and fall
To draw the old mans fancios higher and higher
Unto their web Of spells. But steadily
lie gazed into the family glowing blaze,
With q strange longing in his daEEled face,
As though the future he could dimly SEQ,
Unfolding in a mist Of doubt.
At times,
lie spread his trembling hands above the hearth,
AS though some vision strove TO struggle forth
Into their grasp. And of, mysterious chimes
Would ripple nom the cavern overhead,
Where hung the ponderous bell in hollow gloom,
And flood with music all the quiet room,
Till sombro silence spread her wings, and fed
Nosoossly from the sections tower away.
Then up the stairs a creeping form would steal
Into the belfry old, and slowly feel
Its way to where the bell was wont to sway,
Poaling It's honest clang at morn and night
But all would suddenly grow wond'rous sti

You'd chilly pass, and vanish in It's flight
