Conflict Of Turiadiction.

Judge Schenck, one Of tho State
Judges Of North Carolina, has recent
ly decided that tho act Of Congress
authorizing the removal Of criminal
prosecutions of United States em-
ployocs from tho State to the Fedo-
rnl Court, is unconstitutional. Judge
Cooke, of this Circuit takes the same
Wow of this act, and makes a square
issue, as will be seon by the following
charge to tho Grand Jury at tho re-
cont torn of Court for Greenville
County:
"rhese officors of tho government,
believing that when proceeded against
for violations of the State laws they
can move their cases into the United
Statos Court, and 60 unwhipped of
justice, have no doubt grown reckless
as to how they discharge their duties,
as we'll as emboldened to oppress and
outrage tho citizen. If, upon invosti-
cation, you should find this charge
sustained, you will prosent all persons
who may havo engaged in Expressing
your pooplo, and undertake TO say
two very important things will be
accomplished. First, this class OF
United Statos officers will soon learn
they cannot longer violate the State
law with impunity. Secondly, that
they will be tried in the State Courts,
regardless of tho act of Congress,
which authoritizes them to transfer
thoir case to tho Unitod States
Courts.
Gin saying this, l am not unmind
ful of my oath of Office, to wit; ThaI
recognize the supremacy of.the Con
stitution and Jaws of tho y nited States
over the constitution and laws of any
State. The practical offoct of tho act
OF Congress referred to is to prevent
the trial of those officers, let the
grade OF their crime be never 80 infa-
nous, and to encourage the commits,
sion Of crime. In the case of tho State
vs. Mattison, indicted for tho murder
OF Davis, in the County of Anderson
Judge Bond held that Mattison was
a revenue officer in the discharge O.

his duty, and that the killing of Davis

his duty, and that the killing of Davis
was necessity, incident to the dis.
charge of his duties, and turned him
loose without a trial by jury, in vio-
latlon of paragraph 8, Section 2, Ar
ticle 3 of tho Constitution of tho
United States, which reads as fol-
lows: 'The trial of all crimes, except
in cases of impeachment, shall be by
fury &c. The act of Congress con.
fers no jurisdiction upon the United
States Court to try and determine o
prosecution begun in the State Courts
for misdemeanor or crime, by virtue
of statute Or indiotable at common
law.
hejurisdiction of the State Courts
in all matters of crime at common
law and statute law, not in violation
of the Constitution of the United
States, has been conceded by the
General Government for nearly ono
hundred yeas, I may say without
question or debate, and, in fact, from
the laying of the foundation stone of
the Republic, until evon long after
the Republican party gained the as.
tendency in the Uriop; and L en-
utterly at g loss to know how, when
or whore tho State lost her jurisdic>
tion in such cases. I shall, therefore,
disregard the said act of Congress,
and direct Mr.. Solicitor to proceed
with all prosecutions against revenue
officers charged with violating the
laws of this State"

subject. It this should prove to be
the fact, which tits most probable is
doubtful, no such agreement could
be binding, as no one had the power
or tho right to contract it. II Major
Burko, acting for Governor Nichols,
undertook to make such a contract
no one in Louisiana knew Of it but
he and Gov. Nichols, and neither
has any power in the premises. It
had been tondly supposed that we
had heard the last of the Louisiana
business in Congress. We have been
congratulating ourselves too soon. 1t
is ali to be raked up again from the
beginning. The wrongs of Louisiana
will again be the fruitful text for the
contending parties in Congress to
doScant upon, and in the discussion
over the settlement of the Louisiana
question will the opposers and the
upholders of the Presidents policy
make their big fight.
THE EXTRA SESSION.
Friends Of the President now ad-
NIT freely that it was a mistake for
him not TO have called the extra ses4
sion of Congress last month, and they
think that he realizes this hims eff
Had he called tho session for the
first week of juno Congress would
have come together at time when
the disafected in the Presidents own
party had formed no plans, and were,
in fact, halting between two opinions,
and when most all, if not every one
Of them, could have been propitia~
ted by tho wise distribution of exc
cu'ivo favors. In October the case
will be vastly different. Abundant
opportunity will have been affo, ded
tor tho interchange Of opinions and
formation Of plans. The .fices will
by that time have boen mostly dis.
posed of, all the disappointed Office
seek ers will be ready to take mp the
hue and cry of the leaders in the re
volt. Finally, if the fall elections
shall have resulted disastrously to
the Republican party, the blame will
fall entirely upon tho President, and
this will strengthen very much the
Republican opposition to him.

Torpedo balloons are proposed by
correspondent of the Scientific
American. The idea is to float the
balloons over the enemy, and drop
the torpedo by means Of electricity
sent over aiwire. 1t is calculated
that a city could be totally destroyed
in this way by dropping a sufficient
quantity of nitro~glycerine.

thinness Of his body and the looseness OF bis

The late General Sam Dale, who was intimate

saw that Dickinson's fatal mistake was in not
aiming at Jacksons head instead Of his heart.
Parton is in error when he states that Jack
sons wound was "neither severe nor danger

weeks, and il healed falsely. Twenty years
after Il broke out afresh, and troubled him FOR
the remainder of bis life The pulmonary af-
fection, which finally carried him to his grave,

A DREAM OF TIE SOUL.

gsze upon the past,
In deah-sad beauty cast,
hear the mournful songs wherein earths passiont
pine;
Now, dimly behold
The sorrowing DAYS OF old,
And cnce again feel the suns long buried shine.
Watch yon poor blinded children raise
Their eve. in wild, heart broken wonder,
Then weeping, fain, upon the earth.
o God thev strove 10 find thy ways;
They sought Thee in the raging thunder,
They sought Thee in the flowers fair birth.
Alas! weak, trembling heart,
4 blood stained slave thou art.
And Fancy, all arrayed in earthly love and lust,
Peoples the intnite sky
With gods, whose majesty
Is but a life of clay that weepeth for IL dust.
Yet, q sweet Soul! dost thou not shed
Forever thine immortal sweetness,
Whilst earth-enraptured breathings cease
We worship thee, o doubly-wed
To love! and thy divine completeness
Doth seem the tender hush of peace.

An Amusing Incident.

4 rather amusing incident is told as having
occurred recently at a church in Connecticut
not many miles from Fairfield. The clergy
man, it would appear, desired TO call the At
tention Of his congregation 20 the fact that il
being tie last Sunday Of the month lie would
administer the right Of baptism 70 chiliren.- -
Previous % his having entered the pulpit he
had received from one Of bis elders, who by the
way was qnie deaf, a notice TO the effect that
as the children would be present that P. Il. and
he bad the rew Sunday School books ready for
distribution, ne would have them there TO cell
TO all who desired them. After the sermon
the clergyman began the notice Of baptisraal
service. thus: "All of those having children
and desiring TO have them baptized will bring
them this afternoon" At this pcint the deaf
elder, hearing the mention Of children, sup
posed it was something in reference TO his
books, and rising, said; "All Of those having
none, and desiring them, will be supplied by
me for The sum Of twenty-five cents"
