THE RECENT DECISIONS OF THE
@. S. SUPREME COURT.

III any stimulus was wanting to excite the
apprehensions of the friends of constitutional
Government, as hitherto understood aud
revsred in the United States, it has been
supplied by the recent decisions of the Su-
Preme Court in what were known as the
Civil Rights cases. One of these cases, that
. OF Taylor Strauder, originated in West Vir-
ginia, and its significance becomes to our
people, if possible, more alarming than to
The citizens of our CO States. This difference,
however, is more apparent than real,
The effect of these decisions upon all the
States is to reduce them to tho level of mere
municipalities, whose officers, from Governor
down to constable, are liable to be coerced
BY noRdapus, issued by Circuit Judge of
tho United States, to abandon their own
construction of the Constitution, and adopt
that of such Circuit Judge. Not only SO, but
every such officer. from Governor down to
constable, is liable to be indicted by grand
jury OF the Federal Court, tried, convicted,
and imprisoned in the penitentiary, for con>
strung, administering, or executing any
State law in such manner as to deprive any
citizen of the United States of any right Sc
cured by the Fourteenth Amendment. Not
only so, but, presumably, if the officer of
State, from Governor down to constable may
be SO indicted, it follows that he may also be
arrested on warrant by any United States
Commissioner, and imprisoned Until trial, or
released on bail.
1t is unnecessary to add that this construc.
tion of the effect of the Fourteenth Amend
msnt and the Civil Rights Bill practically
ends the question of the Reserved Rights of
the States, and at once, by subrerting the
Federative principle, converts the Uaiou
into consolidated Empire. The Court itself
calls the States "mere distractions" with
which the Federal authority cannot deal.
From this alarming construction of Fed
erAl power there lies but one appeal-to the
Sovereign People! The spirit of 1900, whish
under the lead of Mr.. Jefferson checked the
growth but did not destroy the germ of an
Empire. must be again awakened and
aroused.

GREENBACKs LIGHTED WITH CT
CARS.
Baltimore Sun.

Mrs. Emma Simms, residing at
No. 1925 Fifth street, Northwest,
Washington city, but stopping in
Baltimore, dropped packet of notes
amounting to ST, 800, from her pock-
ct, on North Gay street, on the day
of the great parade. The money,
somewhat scattered about was pick
ed up by Mr.. John Myers. He re-
membered that it was the day of the
grand procession, and looked upon
the shower of greenbacks as sham,
or some advertising delusion. He
at once resolved to make it a com
plete give away, and handed around
the money to all who desired it with
an abandon beautiful to behold, -
Scenes that we're ludicrous in the
extreme ensued, though their end
ing was serious. The idea of Mr..
Myers took readily, and five cent
cigars were cody lighted with TWEEN
ty dollar notes, nearly all the money
being in notes of that denomination.
Street gamins pasted few around
on awning posts to deceive unSus~
pecting strangers A boy sold one
twenty dollar note for 25cts, and it
is said $500 additional were sold for
the same amount. A lady, residing
not far away, got a twenty dollar
note, which che said she would keep
in memory of the great celebration.
A friend begged her for it that she
might frame it and keep it, and the
lady gave it to her. Mrs. Simms
meanwhile informed Officer Gibson
of her loss. He fastened to the
spot, and managed to recover S45C
of the amount, among it the twenty
dollar note gotten by the lady men
toned above. The discovery of the
facts caused CONSERVATION among
those who had SO freely made away
With what they believed to be bogus
treasure, and much regret was ex-
pressed for the loss sustained by
Mrs. Simms. The case is decidedly
one of the most singular on record.
