the valuable auxiliary aid de

to the task of organizing and

1t is the real purpose of the South ITO tear

ability as valuable legislator-quiet, unob-

foe. Then he was sent by President Grant as
United States Minister to Vienna. Three
years ago the Indiana Republicans nominated
him for Governor, but clique in his own party

defeat followed as result. Judge Orth is a

FEDERAL SOYEREIGNTY.
old Ideas Clothed in New Words

Old Ideas Clothed In New words.
To the Editor Of The National Republican:
SIR Our system of government is composed
of two distinct sovereign Jurisdictions each
limited by certain and prescribed boundary,
beyond which 1t cannot pass. Each sovereignty,
although limited within its limit is supreme.
The limit and boundary of each are established
by written constitution. These soveregnties
are known-the one as a national, the other as
State government. Each operates upon the
same territory, upon the same person, and upon
the same things. The rights, duties, and re-
lations OF every citizen are defined, regulated,
and upheld in some particulars and at some
times by the former in other particulars and
Mt other times by the latter. In regard to the
law appointing supervisors and United States
marshals, seeing that justice is done at the
elections in the States, there seems to be q
conflict between the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties Now the question arises if these
rights are to be exercised by the Federal or
State sOvcrcigntes. Which is paramount-the
Federal or the State sovereignty? Upon what
must it depend? 1t must depend upon the
supremacy of the power by which the law
the subject of the connict--was enacted.
The Federal Government is supreme in the
exercise of power delegated to it, but beyond
this its acts are unconstitutional aud void.
Has the Federal Government transcended its
appropriate limit in regard to the law of super
visors and United States marshals to protect
the voters and see that justice is carried out at
| the elections in the States? / emphatiCally
believe that the Federal Government has the
paramount right to control the Federal cleo
| tiOns because the Federal Government is q
great corporation, and no one State has the
! right to usurp the relative rights of another
| State, no more than Il member of u private cor
poration has tho right to usurp the relative
! right of any other member of the corporation.
| The people of this great corporation are the
trustees. The people of this great corporation of
| the Federal Government of the United States
has right to control the Federal elections
through Congress, their agent by enacting ap-
propriate laws, which power is delegated To
the Congress of the Federal Government of the
United States by the Constitution.
If State sovereignty can control the Federal
elections the Constitution Of the United States
or Federal sovereignty is n solemn mockery
If either State sovereignty at ANY time shall
| have encroached upon, the other the Federal
sovereignty has, and from necessity must have
| the final and conclusive power of decision. The
mode in which the Federal jurisdiction is tc
uphold republican form OF government in the
several States has not been prescribed. What
constitutes republican form of government is
not matter susceptible of any exact and pre-
else definition. The most decisive and eflec
| tual perhaps the only cfectual remedy in thi,
contingency, must be found in the intelligence
and integrity of Congress, the President and

And when, at last, my pilgrim feet shall stand,
Amid the blossoms OF the Promised Land,

And crown my conflicts with eternal rest
