The Order Of the Garter.

No BRITISH order of knighthood dates
from so remote q time as that of the ex-
istence of the extinct knightly orders of
Europe The oldest, g the most noble
Order of the Carter takes us back not
quite five and half centuries, its insti-
tuition being subsequently more than q
generation to the suppression of the once
heroic order of the Knights Templar,
which before it perished had waxed fat
and vicious. The blue garter was either
the token in successful skirmish, and
so a military symbol, or was the mark of
playful and happy treatment of a
drawing room misadventure; the order,
therefore, may be said to lack an origin
peculiarly associated with any ancient.
knightly ideal. Its exclusiveness gives
to the decoration its rare prestige, which
can scarcely be said to inhere in any re-
spect due to knighthood, every one of
the members of the order being possessed
already of superior dignity to that
which knighthood has ever claimed in
the order of worldly precedence. Her
Majesty is the chief of the order, which
includes most of the crowned heads of
Europe, and is strictly limited in respect
of the number and status of its members.
At the present moment the gartered
knight of the lowest ranks as regards
precedence is a monagenarian Viscount.
1t would be prodigious to regard this
order as in any sense representing ordi-
nary knighthood, although it may bear
the name. 1t is indeed to pay great
compliment to knighthood for personages
so eminent to condescend to bear the
title, and should they derive any addi-
tional lustre therefrom the fact goes
some way toward verifying the statement
that knignthood is different not only in
degree but in kind from any other digni-

doubt that it belonged to her, and he
therefore ordered it to be restored to her.
"A stranger walked into a Lafayette,
Ind, restaurant a few days ago and or
dered a cup of coffee rendering two
dollar note in payment. He was handed
a one dollar bill and ninety cents silver
in change. The one dollar bill he putin
his pocket, and placing ten cents with the
ninety cents, said: Il don tlike to carry
loose silver; just give me one dollar for
that" The clerk took one dollar out of
the drawer and showed it towards the
man, who quickly placing the silver coin
with it, said carelessly, ''Better give me
a two dollar note for that" By this time
the clerk was somewhat mixed, and the
other playing the game boldly he very
naturally handed out the two dollars with
out thinking, and drew back the one dol
lar in change and one dollar note, the
swindler pocketing the two dollars and
walking off. When the clerk came to
think the matter over he found he was
out just ninety cents on the transaction.

At seeing his own native shore, once again.
AS he wandered along, on that bright sunny
day,
Over the mead, where the wild daisies grow,
His joy found vent in gay roundelay,
A rollicking, merry, Yo no! yo ho! -.
A sweet little maiden came over the lea.
Peach-pink and dimpled her cheeks, and her
eyes -t
Were as bright as the sunlight that danced on
the sea,
And as blue as the clear, smiling, midsummer
skies
Her small slippered feet, tripping lightly along,
Paused in the mead, where the wild daisies
grow,
Paused she to list to the sailor boys song,
That rollicking, merry Yo ho! yo no!
They met! Twas the first time in many day
That his gaze had been charmed with a visioI
like this.
And in frank sailor-fashion, he hastened to
pray,
That those cherry-ripe lips he might press witt

Then she blushed and she smiled, but she an

the Tenth Amendments is q aslasioh,

the Tenth Amendments is de1uSioh,l
and the States may at any tinns be,
degraded to the level of municipal corr
porations existing ut the will Of Con-
gress. But, he argues, this doctrine that
the United States may interfere with
States regulation of elections trenches
upon the rights of the States in still
another way. 1t is admitted that the
Federal Government has no power to
interfere with the election of State of
ticers or with the registration of voters
for such elections, and yet the super
vision and interference sanctioned by
the act of Congress when Represents
tives to that body are to be voted for
amount practically to supervision of
and interference with the election OF
State officers, and constitute plain
encroachment upon State-rights.
After some further remarks upon the
character of Federal Legislation since
the war, and its bearing upon the re-
served rights of States, Justice Field
says, in substance, that, until the recent
decisions in the Virginia cases were
rendered, he could not have believed
that the former carefully considered
and repeated judgments Of this Court
upon provisions of the Constitution,
ohO uPOA CAO 6OASAdA SAoA oSoOA @AN
purposes of that instrument, would be
disregarded and overruled. But these
decisions Gin the Virginia cases) do, in
his Judgment, constitute q new depart,
ure, and, without intending any disre-
spect to his associates, Justice Field is
of opinion that the rules therein laid
down tend toward the conversion of our
Federal system into q consolidated and
centralized Government.
In support of his second position,
Justice Field argues that the Legislative
power of the Federal Government
vested by the Constitution in Congress
cannot be delegated to others. If
Congress could depute its authority; if
it could say it would punish as an
| offense what another power enacts as
such, it might do the same thing
with respect to the commands of any
other authority. It could enact that
what the President proclaims shall be
law; that what he declares to be offenses
shall be punished rs such. No one,
Justice Field thinks, wvuld go so far as
this, and YET in principle there is no
difference between the supposed case
and the existing one.
Finally, he is of opinion that the act
| of Congress under which the prisoners
were indicted in both the Maryland and
Ohio cases is unauthorized and invalid,
and that the prisoners should be re-
leased.
