HORRIBLE CONDITION OF THE PEG
PIE IN MOROCCO.

The United States Consul ut Tangier has
transmitted dispatch to the State Depart.
ment giving an account OF the fearful raw
ages OF cholera in the interior of Morocco.
The misery among the people is great, and
business is almost completely paralyzed
Cholera is sweeping over the middle and
southern provinces. Hundred are dying OF
starvation. To all these mseries small -pox
and malignant fevers add their horrors.
Never before has Morocco passed through
such fearful ordeal.
All the leading Israeitcs and many Eu.
ropeans have fled from Tangier, panic
stricken, while wild and uncertain rumors
of the ravages Of the pestilerce in the int
rior, which are brought daily to Tangier by
refugees, add to the general CONSERVATION.
While immense numbers of persons are
starving in the very streets Of Tangier, and
and while merchants are selling all bread
stuffs at a loss, the authorities still persist
in levying tariff of ten per cent on all i'm.
ports Of provisions. Add to all these fear.
full visitations the further fact that the
neighboring counties have almost complete.
ly cut off Morocco from communication
with the outside world, and no gloomier
picture can be imagined.

invented an astronomical instrument which
he calls lunagraph. 1t shows the path OF
the moon through its entire revolution
around the earth the relative position of
the sun, earth and moon, and the relative
speed Of the earth and moon through the
lunar month, and that the speed Of the
moon is slower while it is moving from the
last quarter to the first than it ia while
moving from the first quarter to the last
1t also shows the position Of the sun, earth

BRADLEY to turn the State over to a
| Federal Receiver and possibly he
may be hoping to be Federal Judge
! himself. He has been sucking public
pap all his Iife-and Is incapable of
| conceiving of any sublimer function
for the patriot Statesman.
Well Suppose he and BRADLEY
succeed in turning oyer the State to
the Federal Court. What then will
be the proceeding ? The first act, we
suppose, will be a mandate from the
Federal Court to the Court Of Appeals,
ordering the judgment Of the state
Court to be set aside, and the decision
of the Federal Court to be substituted
and enforced. We will assume that
the court will now be as keenly alive
to its dignity and independence as
when presided over by ROANE and
ALLEN. and will firmly and curtly re-
fuse obedience The court in thus
acting-(J the Federal JRdicid1Y pos
sesscS the DOiUer IL ctdiBls)- guilty OF
a malfeasance. and is subject 10 i'm
peachment. But by whom is it inn
peachable BY the State authorities? ?
1t will be acting in accordance with
the wishes of the State, and Of course
will not be mOlested by its agents.
BY the Federal authorities ? Would
the Senate of the United States have
any right to impeach State Judge =?
The answer to that question goes to
the root of the question is this claim
ed Jurisdiction of the Federal Court
warranted by the Constitution ? If
so, there must be authority to enforce
it BRADLEY may have the brass to
claim that the United States Senate
cafl impeach State Judge-and pOsA
sibly RAN, who Is IN the same boat
with him, will acquiesce and applaud.
But 1t may be alleged that the Fede-
raj Court may proceed against the
State Court by having the State Judges
arrested and punished for contempt
We'll, suppose they are imprisoned and
kept in prison that eXtinguishes the
State Judiciary. Is it competent for
the Federal Judiciary 10 do this thing ?
But the Imprisonment of the Judges
aild the abolition of the Court does not
give effect to the Federal decision.
The Auditor and other State officers
may disregard the Federal mandate
and they too must he incarcerated-
and that's the END Of the state Gov
ernment. IL Il in the granted powers,
that the States=-the Ureathtes Of the
Federal mnchibery-may be ahnihi-
lated by the creature d? But let that
pass. Though Governor HOLIDAY

and constrained to catch a glimpse OF
Heaven only through iron gralings-
still the Federal decree will be untxes
cuted. Tome fprther step will be ne
