of information concerning prices of land,
wages and employment to attract set
tiers to their borders. We have
heard that the State of Virginia
has been successful in this matter
and has received in the last few years a
considerable and valuable accession to it's
population, gained by such means Trade
unions in England, many of which organ
izations possess large funds of money,
could most usefully spend some part
of their accumuations in helping
part of their membership to migrate.
Farmers who are wearied of the struggle
with high rents and other disadvantages in
England would benefit themselves by
transferring not only their capital
but their laborers also to this coun-
try. There is abundant room here
for all who can labor, and particularly those
who can till the soil. Northern Texas
alone possesses an area of wheat land,
almost untouched by the plough, capable it
is asserted by those who know it, of bearing
wheat crop equal to the whole
of last years crop for the whole United
States; and an area Of cotton land south of
it on which the present cotton crop of the
whole South could be duplicated, if
only the men were there to cultivate
it. If proper means are used to
spread broadcast over Great Britain
and Germany detailed information concern
ing our still unoccupied and cheap lands
our country may be enriched within the
4 Ht two or three years by multitude Of
energetic people who will improve their
own fortunes by coming to US.

The WEATHER.-Quitc remarkable change
mas taken place in the meteorological condi-
tons since Sunday. The depression that was
moving eastward over the northern lakes has
now changed its course and is gradually drop
ping down toward the central valleys. This
change of direction was caused by the south
ward movement of an area of high barometer
The pressure is still highest the Mid
die Atlantic coasts. Within the depression the
barometer is falling steadily and it now gives
promise of developing storm energy rs it APP
proaches the Atlantic coast. Rain has fallen
throughout the Northwest, the central valleys
and on the Eastern Gulf coast. The weather
was fair in the lower lake regions the Middle
Atlantic and New England States, clear in the
South Atlantic States and partly cloudy else
where. The temperature rose decidedly in the
central valley and lake districts and remained
nearly stationary in the other sections
of the country. Fresh to brisk winds
prevailed on the Middle Atlantic and New
England coasts and in the Northwest. In
the other districts they were light. very
severe storm was developed over the British
Islands on Saturday and Sunday. A great deal
of damage was caused by the heavy rains. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will he warmer and fair in the early portion,
followed by increasing cloudiness and possibly
showers. Tomorrow it promises to DC warm
and showery.

them will 60 on.
The Republicans, eager to find an
excuse for the revolutionary position
of their leaders in Congress in efforts
to clothe the National government
with unwarranted and dangerous pow
er, say that the war oblitcrated State
Rights. How, they do not inform Us,
only that it put down secession. Well,
it did put down secession, and there
are probably but few persons now liv-
ing who regret that it did 20. But So.
cession was not a State right under
the reservations Of the Constitution.
1t was an attempt Mt revolution. and
its suppression can have no weight nor
give any force to the declaration that
the war obliteratod state rights If
the Federal power succeed in incorpo-
rating this idea into our system Of gov.
ernment, consolidation will be n re-
ality; the sovereignty of the States in
all matters not delegated TO the Fcde-
raj government, thing of the past, and
State laws q nulity whenever the Fede-
raj Executive may so proclaim them.
But did the war confer upon the Fedc.
raj government any additional pow
ers not previously enjoyed? Certain
ly not. II abolished slavery and de-
cided that secession was not a right re-
served to the States, or justified by any
consideration of the compact. II did
not change letter or syllable Of the
Constitution. That great chart of lib.
erty stands now as it stood before the
war, the guardian alike of the delega-
ted powers to the General Government,
and the reserved powers of the States
and the people, which neither can in
wade without injury to our entire struc-
ture of government. This constitution
provides that "The powers not delega.
ted to the United States, nor prohibi-
ted by it to the States, are reserved to
the States respectively, or TO the peo-
pie" Among these reserved powers
-these "State rights" are theexclusive
right to pass laws and make regula.
tions for the election of members of
Congress. Did the war change this ?
Wherein, indeed, did it change any of
the reserved rights of the States or
confer any additional privileges upon
the National government Then why
do the Republicans assume that the
doctrine of State rights" Is an explo-
ded theory, not to be respected since
the war; 7 Simply because il now suits
them to repudiate the Constitution in
order to justify frauds already com.
mitted against the rights of the peo-
pie, and retain the usurped power in
the Federal Executive to use the
army. and employ the Federal officers
to supervise and control the elections
in the interest of frauds yet contem-
plated. This grand doctrine of State
rights--these rights guaranteed to the
people to make their own laws to Sc
cure to themselves free elections and
independent ballots counot be surren-
