STdTE RIGHTS.

The Democratic amendment to the resolu-
tions of Senator Edmunds relative to the
constitutional amendments is a very distinct
enunciation of the doctrine of State rights.
and ought to command the deliberate and
careful examination of tho people at large as
we'll as of both houses of Congress. Through
misrepresentation and abuse, the public has
come to regard any reference to the rights
of the States as absolute heresy, but little
removed from treason. Yet the States have
rights which are distinct from those enjoyed
by Congress, and which ought to be guarded
as jealously as any other rights committed to
the people.
The tendency of legislation for the past
fifteen years has been to subordinate the
States to the central government. It has
been the evident purpose of our national
legislature to build up strong central gov
ernment at Washington, to which all else
shall be subordinated. The constitution Of
the United States has wisely provided that
certain rights shall be reserved to the States
but the centralizing power has undertaken
to make any assertion of these rights odious
by laying to that the declaration of the right
of secession and notification. How narrow
this construction of the constitution is will
be perceived by every honest and candid man

in the national House of Representatives as
to the expediency of looking into the matter
of the cipher kilograms. While it is no doubt
true that the committee cannot cover the
whole ground in the limited time at it's dis
posal, there can be no objection to it's inves-
tigating the matter as far as possible, for a
future committee can take the business up
where the present one leaves off. The pub

who gives the subject moments deliberate
thought.
The resolutions of the Democratic caucus
referred to are timely. They revive an in
terest in the reserved rights of the States
which could, probably, be revived in no other
way. They assert first the validity
OF the constitutional amendments
adopted; next the fact that the
government of the United States and of the
several States are distinct, and that whatever
rights are not specifically delegated to Con-
gress are reserved to the States; and further,
that the constitution of the United States
has not conferred the right of suffrage upon
any one, and the United States have no
These propositions are SO patiently proper
and constitutional that no argument is neces-
sary to establish their soundness. That
States have rights, entirely distinct from
those conferred upon the general govern
ment, does not admit of question. The ex-
pediency of asserting those rights was held
in allegiance during the war, and since that
period the effort has been made to make of
the central government the only center of
power. The time has arrived when the
States can safely re assert their right 10 the
management of their own internal affairs.
The country is happily distracted by no seri-
GUS sectional differences that will lead to an
imadversions as to the purpose of the reso-
lutions in question. The matter can be
debated thoroughly and all questions in dis
pute settled without danger of kindling the
fires of sectional strife.
The present is as good time as any to
settle these mooted questions rights Of
the States as distinguished from those of the
general government. It can be settled with
out unnecessary delay, and without creating
the animosities that might have followed a
previous introduction of the question It is
certainly important that the line of demarka-
ton between the vested rights of the States
and of the federal government should be
clearly defined, for uncertainty will give rise
to misunderstanding that may in the future
prove embarrassing.

IT is gratifying to be informed that the
report of combination between the North
ern Pacific aud the Texas Pacific railroad
managers in order to procure needed legisla-
ton is unfounded. The application of the
Northern Pacific is so reasonable that even
the most factious cannot object to it. By
combining with any other enterprise, how
ever, the legislation asked for wonld have the
appearance of job, and no one would be
to blame for opposing it. The Northern
Pacific tub is strong enough to stand on it's
own bottom; as much cannot be sa1d of the

Times.
Something of the intense feeling upon the
part of the administration toward Conklinp
is shown in an interview with a verv near
friend of the President who is now on q
visit to this city. In speaking of Conkling's
course, he said that if he was President he
would serve notice on Conkling to the effect
that If the nominations now pending we're
not confirmed he would call an extra ses-
sion of the Senate after The 4th of March
and nominate John Kelly for collector and
Augustus Schell for naval officer, and let it
be understood that it was the Republican
Senator from New York that made this
course necessary in order to carry out civil
service reform. The gentleman who made
this remarkable statement did not intimate
that Hayes had any such idea, but inasmuch
as he is an Ohio man, and has very close
and confidential relations with Hayes, the
statement is quite significant. It shows at
least how bitter the feeling against Conkling
must be at the White House. The result in
the Senate was of course unexpected, and
surpr1seu hayes, sherman aud EvartS very
much, but they have by no means given up
the fight. Every influence will be
brought to rear on Republican Senatora, and
great deal is hoped for among the Demo-
cratic Senators. It is the expectation of
Hayes, Sherman and Evarts that the Demo-
Gratis will be inclined to strengthen the op-
position to Conkling in New York by con
tirming the present custom house officers.
To certain extent this hope is we'll found
ed. There are some Democratic Senators
who believe in this policy, and few of them
voted with Conkling at the last session to re-
ject the nominations then made. It is the
judgment, however, of the best-informed
Senators that the pending nominations will
be rejected.
If this is done Arthur and Cornell, it is
claimed by the administration, cannot re-
sumo their former positions. On this point
Hayes friend above alluded to was quite en-
phatic. He said Hayes had made up his
mind about this, and he was sustained by
Attorney General Devens. If the pending
nominations were rejected other names
might be sent in. On this point no decision
had been reached, but pending the interreg-
mum the duties of the offices would be dis
charged by officers designated by the seore-
tary of the treasury.
