The real activities of the predatory stages Of
the legislative session have not yet been en-
tered upon. By this evening things may be
looked to for a red hot condition, and by
Monday morning white heat will in an
probability have been attained Candidates
will have become more numerous and men,
beers more communicative the reserve of
recent acquaintanceship will have given
away, and general warming up to
the organizing work may be expected,
and reporters and correspondents will be af-
forded broad field and all favors for the
gossip skirmish. The candidates announced
above are those most generally spoken of by
dane Rumor-those whose names drop most
freely from the old lady's ready tongue. Tt
was the general understanding last evening
among members that a predatory Republican
CAUCUS will be held tonight at the Capitol.

And this question is far broader than the
railroad situation. 1t goes to the whole
future of the republic. The ideal Ameri-
can Government was system in which
the balance between the State and the
Federal Government was held perfectly
even. They were to be regulated, like the
planets in the solar system, but they
were to revolve each on its own axis and
in its own orbit, and the symmetry and
smooth working of the whole depended
upon the due execution by every part OF
the functions allotted to it, But that
theory was exploded by the rebellion, and
ever since Capitalization has been taking
more rapid strides, and it has now gone so
far that in point of fact the form of the
Government is radically changed, and in
such way as to justify the most serious
alarm for the future Congress has AFRO
gated to itself the right to interfere
with the most peculiar and indefeasible
subjects of State sovereignty. There
is nothing so well calculated to
test the reality of sovereignty as the exer-
else of the right to control the express
creations of that Sovereignty. To say that
a sovereign may create, but cannot control
its creations, is to deny its sovereignty,
for it is to imply that the thing created is
more powerful than the creator, or that
some other power can supersede the latter
In either case the denial of sovereignty is
absolute and effective And this is pre-
cisely what Congress has done in the
Thurman Act. Nor can we reason as if
this was likely to be the limit of Congress
ional interference. On the contrary, we
know from recent experience that it is only
one indication OF tendency which is
operating continuously and persistently /;
a tendency which must in the end strip
the States of every vestige of authority
which it is worth the while of any impor-
tant interest to deprive them OF, and which
must create in the Federal Congress powers
whose exercise will not be limited by any con-
sideratiOn of the local interets concerned in
the measures proposed. And the ground
has been carefully prepared for the inor-
dinate extensions OF Congressional jurisdic-
ton which are now being made. Thus an
eminent jurist, in a modern treatise on
constitutional limitations, has said of the
power of Congress to regulate interstate
commerce: 1t is not doubted that Con-
"gress has the power to go beyond the gem
" eral regulation of commerce, which it is
accustomed to establish, and to descend to
" the most minute directions, if it shall be
deemed advisable; and that to whatever
"extent ground shall be covered by these
:" directions the exercise of State power is
excluded" Under the elastic category
of "police" regulations, or under the
equally elastic power of altering, amend
ing or repeating charters, Congress in fact
has to-day assumed an amount of author
ity which would enable it at any moment

men OF both houses gone away as sud-
denly as they came. 1t is one of the mis-
takes of the fathers, perpetuated into the
third and fourth generation, to have Con-
gress meet at all in December. 1t leaves
three weeks gap between their first
squirt of work and the real business
months of the session. Some sensible
man has introduced bin this session to
have the time of opening changed to the
second Monday of January. But then
comes the rub-to get through the second
session OF each term by March 4th.
