A NOVEL CAsE.--Judgc &. S. liam
mond, of the United States Circuit
Court, Memphis, had novel case
before him. j. G.. Birmingham, OF
Laudcrdalc county, Tenn, had been
indicted for unlawfully holding two
colorcd girls in slavery. 1t seems
that birmingham refused to recognize
the abolition OF slavery, and ever Since
the war has claimed to own the girls
because he owned their mother. The
conduct of Birmingham excited tic
Indignation ofhis ncighbors, and at
their instigation tho United States
grand jury recently found an indict-
mcnt against him. Judge Hammond
quashcd the Indictment, holding that
the act OF Congress, which saws that
every person who kidnaps or carries
away any other person, with intent
that such other person be sold into
involuntary scrvitude or held as q
slave, shall be punished by fine or
Imprisonment, could not apply to any
one holding or pretending to hold in
slavery in this country because of
slavery having been abolished. There
could be 10 slaves here. and therefore
no one could be held as slave. This,
the Judge said. is an otfcnsc not pro-
viicd for by any act Of Congress and
not punishable by all Indictment in
the Federal courts. Tho defendant
was discharged.

of the Solid South. This is not to be wondered
at, for if there is one object the Democrauc
party has constantly labored to accomplish
it Is to reduce the General Government 10 u

pleasure. When the rebellion broke out th''
party insisted that the Government cOuid 10,

the act as an infringement oil the rish'' u,
the States. 1t opposed the draft laws anu
claimed that the Government could not cou'-
mel its citizens to defend its life. Wheh tne
war ended it denied the right OF the OoNe'n-
ment TO reconstruct the rebel States anu pre-
scribe terms for their readmlssIon 10 INC
Union. II resisted the adoption OF the COh-
st;tutional Amendments, and declared them
"revolutionary, null and void" because they
infringed upon the rights of the states TO DO
"a tbev nleased with suffrage and representa-
ton. OF late years it has been occupied with
attacks upon the National credit, the NATIONAL
currency and the National banking SYSTEM
until, finding itself in control OF Congress
through the work of the bulldozer and the
tissue-ballot in the South, it boldly de-
clares its purpose to wipe out all the legls-
ation of the War period.
The Republican conventions have sounded
no false alarm. Their patriotic Impulses nave
not led them astray. They have aimed at the
heart of the vital question of the hour. The
doctrine of National Supremacy, welded III the
Constitution by the blood OF thousands OF
Union soldiers, is in danger of destruction by
a Bourbon reaction. 1t must be reasserted,
defended and carried forward to victory so
complete as to place it beyond the reach OF
anv new assaults. This is the task of Repub-
leans in the campaigns of 1879 and 1850.
They believe, as they always have believed,
that the Government of the United States has
power to defend itself, enforce its statutes
and protect its citizens and that 1t is It's
right and duty to make itself respected at
home and abroad, TO broaden and deepen the
channels of National life, to shape the course
of civilization on this continent TO mould out
of the diverse elements of population within
its borders O homogeneous people, ana TO
make the name Of the American Republic a
synonym throughout the world for liberty,
law, equal rights and progress. This belief
they must declare at the polls as emphatica!ly
as they did during the war and the recon-
struction period.

The annual interest on tho debt of these
nine cities amounts to more than their entire
annual expenses The town Of Railway, with
q popnlation of $500, has a debt amounting
TO 1913 81 to each man, woman and child
within its limits, which might perhaps as well
be called bankruptcy rs anything It's debt
lis half as great as the whole assessed Ya.ue OF
its property. The debt Of Elizabeth IS nearly
half the value of its property, and amounts to
1924 per capita.
The remedies proposed for this TuinOnS state
of things are numerous. The Ncw-Gork Com
mission, with Mr.. Eyarts at 'ts head, proposed
a board of finance elected by taxpayers and
rentpayers, to have full control, Jointly
with the Mayor, of the financial affairs
of cities. The Philadelphia Commission
demurs to this, and holds that nothing
short of State law prohibiting cities from
borrowing money can avail. Many States
haze, by constitutional enactment for
hidden the loan of municipal credit, bnt
this remedy does not reach the seat OF the
disorder. In their annual messages most
of the Governors discuss the necessity
of reform In local government, but few ven
ture TO propose remedies and no two agree,
any more than do the unofficial doctrinares.
Some content themselves with declaring uni
versal suffrage failure, and counting the re-
naming days Of the Republic. Mr. Porter
thinks our sef-gOvernment needs reyitahzing,
which is possibly true. 1.-THE self-gOvcnment
"of to-day hates trouble and loves self-indul-
gence-hence the deplorable condition of
"our cities. Self-government, it has been
"well observed, is a hard task-master. 1t
expects every man to do his duty, not op-
"tionally, but as a public obligation. Let
general orders be given out for reform in
"every one of the twenty thousand townships
" in the land, as to the sergeant OF an army
"and soon the whole Nation will be thrown
"into energetic action in the same direction
This is vague, but it recalls the demand
which we occasionally hear for law making
voting compulsory. Perhaps it may be dis
covered, by-and-by, that the suffrage Is not
merely privilege, but duty.
