STATE RIGHTS.

From the beginning of the slavery agitation,
says The World, State rights were invoked at the
North to protect the slave beyond the borders Of
his masters State and to restrict the extension Of
slave labor. Was 1t not under the doctrine Of
State rights that New York struck the fetters from
every slave brought by his master into her terri.
tory2 Were not State rights invoked against the
fugitive slave law throughout, the North, upon
the ground that II was not the business of any
State, but only Of the Federal Government, to ar.
rest and return to bondage the fleeing bondman 2

On what was the claim Of the right TO exclude
slave labor from the new Territories based but
upon the doctrine OF State righR2 It was the ex-
ercise by two thirds OF the States OF their rights

servants, etc. The commissioner is. In TACT,
sort of justice OF the peace, an arbfter; he has
no judicial powers and cannot hlmself
inflict any punishment, but he can, by. his
advice, stop many affairs at the beginning
He knows the secrets of most houses; and it
is only due to justice to say that these
modest servants OF the city have always
proved worthy of the greatest confidence
But, though they are paid out OF the MUM
cipal budget, 1t would be great mistake to
think that they are appointed by the munl-
eipal council. They are not even appointed
by the project of the Seine. They belong to
the great Department OF Justice, and are
chosen by the keeper of seals. as the Minister
Of Justice Is still called, and their promotion
depends chiefly on their own direct chief, the
project of police. The commissioner Is as
Independent Of the electors Of his quarter rs
a man may well be; he Is the representative
of law and order. and he has nothing to fear
from anybody in the exercise OF his import
ant functions.
The cabinet of the project of police has
three departments, called bursaux. The first
is almost wholly political, and consequently
a part OF its expenses Is paid by the State.
This bureau has to see to the safety OF the
head of the State. to collect information about
secret societies. plots, refugees, strangers and
secret associations. 1t also has to collect po-
litlcal documents which may have some con-
nection with the safety OF the country. The
second bureau has In Its functions whatever
relates to great public crowds festivities,
races, reviews, theatres, concert rooms,
placards In the streets, etc The third bureau
has all the national and foreign newspapers
with view to the discovery of criminals and
ahsentees. Outside of these services some
nine bureaux belonging to the great divisions
of the prefecture proper. Their names will
suffice to give an idea OF their work Arrests
and explosions; legal surveillance; prisons,
passports and lodging houses; lunatic asy
lums; assistance OF children, nurses; pro-
vlsioning Of Paris navigation Of the river;
bourse; police of the streets and carriages
fires; sanitary police.
You see by these mere names that the pre-
lecture of police Is not solely devoted to the
police It is in reality part OF the executive
of the city. There are 50 to speak, two
Paris figures the budget Of the prefecture OF
police though this last Is paid partly by the
city and partly by the State.
