A TRAP FOR SHEEr- KILLING Docs.
The Lynchburg VTrgiaian thus de-
scribes an ingenious trap devised by
Virginia farmer to capture sheep
killing dogs. Having suffered from
the depredations Of dogs upon his
sheep-f0ld, he bailt around q number
Of sheep that dogs had killed an in
closure Of rails twelve feet high and
aboHt ten feet square at the ground,
the sides Of the trap sloping inward
until an opening was left about FIVE
feet square. Any dog could easily
climb such a sloping fence and enter
the pen, but not even . greyhound
could jump out Of it. IN three nights
the farmer captured forty-six dogs,
including fifteen or twenty that had
never been seen before in that neigh
borhood: This. after there had been
public slaughter Of al dogs. sus-
pected Of shaep-killing. save one,
whose master could not be convinced
of his guilt The trap vas built for
his especial benefit and il c0ught him
the first night.

VALUE Or STATE GOVERNMENTS.
MIR. Madison. commonly called The
father Of the constitution Of the Uni
ted States, ia discussing the supposed
danger from the powers Of the Union
70 the State governments argued that
the powers delegated BIZ the proposed
Constitution 70 fhe Federal govern
ment are few and well defined; those
remaining with the States numerous
sand in definite. The former will be
exercised principally on external OBJ
jects. as war. peace, negotiation, for
eign commerce and the power Of tax
ati0n; end the powers reserved to the
several States viii extend to al the
objects, which in ordinary court of af-
fairs concern the lives. liberties and
properties Of the people and the inter-
nal order. improvement and prosperi-
" Of the State.
We have never had in the history
Of our united country such . practical
illustration Of these important truths
as we have had in the last forty DAYS.
We have never had q period when the
value Of State governments was so
positively established, and whichshows
how very essential they are to the
stability Of affairs and the perpetuity
Of our whole system Of government
and laws. The President Of the Un--
ted States has been, for all practical
purposes, unable to discharge the pow
ers and duties Of his Office, and re
know not how long this state Of things
may continue; and yet here in Mary
land, and in every other State, the
affairs Of the country 90 on as If no
such disability existed in the national
government. We have lived under
such complete system, for all inter-
nal purposes, that no disturbances
have been felt, and no protection to
rights either of persons or property
has been INSTRUCTED or denied. In
the nature of its birth and sphere Of
legislation the government Of the
United States is not competent to this
end, and the most lamentable trou-
bles we have ever known have origi-
mated in doing violence to these we'll
defined lines of separate legislative
duties. The States existed before the
Federal Union-they were the par
ties having inherent sovereignty, and
only delegated to the general govern
ment "the few and well defined pow
ers" for the common defense and well
fare. 1t was in this spirit the Union
was established, and If we intend to
preserve the substance and the charters
Of our civil liberty it must be so rev.
erenced and administered. We are
constantly reminded, in some passing
event, Of the wisdom Of our ancestors,
and it will be treason to the hopes of
mankind If we and the generation
coming after US, for lack of patriotism
and vigilance, shall throw away this
priceless legacy. EssO perpetna p

REMARKABLE WILL.-The will Of
the late David Carroll, who recently
died in Baltimore county, is some
what remarkable document in that it
appropriates large sum ($l00,O00,)
to be expended in the last testament
of the deceased in the event of any
attempt on the part of legatees to con-
test its validity in the courts. Mr..
Carroll left an estate estimated to be
worth several millions of dollars, and
although he provides very specifically
in his will for its division among the
members Of his family, none of whom,
he says, attempted to influence him as
to how he should dispose of his estate,
yet he doubtless apprehended some
difficulty in having his affairs settled
amicably, and made the necessary
provision to prevent the viii from be-
ing broken. The digraceful exposures
and scandalous and expensive litiga-
ton that arose over the estate of the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt, and the
frequent contests over other large es-
tates, brought about in many cases BY
unprincipled attorneys to secure large
fees, would appear tojustify Mr.. Car
roll in inserting this extraordinary
clause in his will. But may not the
very means that the deceased resorted
to to prevent litigation, defeat the OBJ
iect he had in view? With the tempt
ing prize Of 500, 900 to be consumed
in defending the cause, may not some
of the less scrupulous members Of the
legal professor endeavor to get the
case in the courts" in the hope of
securing a slice from the estate? 1t
is, at any rate, new departure in
will-making, and it remains to be seen
whether it viii prove successful. If
so, other rich men who are apprehen-
sive of litigation over their property
after death can adopt a similar ex-
pedient.

NIHILIsM AND THE SECRETARY OF
STATE.-Ths country is now much
excited on account Of the question
growing cut of the possible demand
by the Russian Government for Hart
man, the Nihilist, now in this country.
The Secretary Of State has refused to
state the position Of our Government
dhOuld the demand be made, and very
properly Zoo, we think. Hypothesis
cal cases will not do for Governments.
Only cases as they arise. like cases IN
eourt. can be decided. Whistler or
not Hartman should be delivered an
On demand made, il what we pzopose
TO debate. j. there or is there not
an extradition treaty between this
Government and Ruaaia2 Upon this
fact rests the whole question. We
are informed that tharauila
FORE we say G.
enc more thai
the abominable crime d 80
or conspiring soto do, but is Hartman
more criminal. in our eyes, than the
murdersofthem eanest oftheCzar' ssub-
jects2 Wehave learned to know that
crowned heads are not the best rulers;
that royalty doesnotconfer supernatu-
raj gifts; that no one has divine right
to rule over his fellow man, and we
think, that the blood that courses
through the veins of the Car of all
Che Russias is no better than that
which gives life to the Peasant. II
there is any treaty for delivering mp
criminals then Hartman should be
delivered up, if not. then the homer
Of the Nation is at stake.
Let us take a view of the crime Of
which Hartman is accused-compass-
ing the death Of the late Czar-what
do we know about Russia, that absO-
lutte autOcracy? ANY school boy can
tell you the history Of any other coun-
try in Europe. but what scholar can
tell you aught Of Russia? The great
popular revolution two hundred wears
ago. which brought Charles to the
block, and latter. Louis XIII, has
never, that we know, reached the
heart of Russia. How many Went
'Sorthes' Pyms and Hampdens that
have seen the dawn of liberty and
had the manliness to speak the fro
zen stePpes of Siberia can alone at
test? Russia has armed herself with
absolutism to keep back the march Of
I Tern ideas Of human liberty. AS
sassination Is, to our minds. the great
est crime known-to men, and no one
can hold it in greater horror. and we
regret that some of the vicissitudes
in the affairs Of this world make it a
necessity to bs deplored. Russia
must bend TO the Sarch of modern
ideas or the crowns Of her EmperOru
