The l07th anniversary of the Meeklen-
burg County IN C) Declaration of In
dependence, on May Goth, 1915, was celebrat.
ed on Saturday last, at Charlotte, in that State,
1t was for long time matter of doubt as to
the authenticity of the assertion of their
rights by the people of North Carolina. But
it appears to be well settled by documents
now in the State of North Carolina and
from a newspaper published in that State, in
1175 that the people of that county did de.
clare themselves free and Independent of
the British crown more than year before
July 4th, 1915, and, moreover, they We're
thoroughly consistent in their action there
after. Senator Bayard was the orator of the
occasion ut the last celebration and delivered
Il fine speech. Senator Vance made the
speech of welcome, and Senator Ransom
read the Declaration The crowd was esti-
mated Mt from 10000 to $4,000 in number.

-"The History of the Formation of the
Constitution ofthe United States ofAmerica, +"
by George Bancroft, has just been published,
and the distinguished author, who can hard
ly be suspected of Partially towards the Dem
ocratic party, most emphatcally announces
the fundamental correctness of the doctrine
of that party. According to his idea the
States are sovereign and independent, not
by way of favor but by matter ofright This
puts death-blow to the theories of CEN
tralization. The Union is the creature Of the
States and the States were not created by the
Union. The States, says Mr. Bancroft, are
the protectors and guardians of the domestic
security of the Union and the main-stay
thereof. The Constitution owes its life to the
concurrence Of the people of the States and
in proof thereof the Constitution was submit
ted to the several States for their adoption
or their rejection.

about t en- years ofagc, was drowned on Tuesday,
10th, in Swan Creek He, with several other
boys, was fishing along the bank, when his
companions strayed away leaving him alone.
When they returned after while he was not to
be seen After calling him repeatedly and receiv.
ing no response, they began TO look for him,
when they espied his hat floating In the water.
They called loudly for help, when Mr.. q. w.
Barnes, who was up the stream some way, hear
ing them, came down TO see what the matte r
was. He took in the situation at glance, and
commenced a vigorous search for the body,
which he soon recovered. Although every ef-
fort was made to resuscitate him, their labors
were in vain. 1t was supposed that the body
had been in the water at least a halfhour before
II was recovered. -Replblicaa.

The decision of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia upon the exceptions ia
ken by the counsel for Guiteau, was delivered
on Monday, by Justice James, and the motion
for new trial has been overruled. As to
the point made by the counsel that the courts
of the District had no jurisdiction, because
the blow was struck in one county and death
ensued in another, it was held that the prin-
ciples even of the common law held that the
crime was committed when the blow was
struck. The rulings of Judge Cox were
unanimously sustained; the question of ju.
risdiction settled The reading occupied an
hour and quarter and the opinion is exhaust.
i've. Chief Justice Cartier made the closing
statement that the opinions that have been
uttered are the unanimous opinions of this
court, and the judgment below is affirmed in
this case.

During Robeson's term of office, as Sec.
rotary of the Navy, one hundred and seventy
millions of dollars were expended, ostensibly
for naval purposes When he retired from
Office there was nothing to show for what
has been spent. Now he has the effrontry to
come forward with two more bills, one to
build ten ships at an expense of thirty mil
lions of dollars, and another large appropria-
ton to repair the worthless hulks left behind
in the navy yard Robson gets some one to
bring in these bills for him, but he alone is
the author of them.

The South Carolina political trials are
over, and ofthe five cases tried one resulted in
acquittal, in three the juries disagreed, and
in the one case of conviction, the verdict was
set aside by the court, and new trial order
ed There was much ofthe spirit of the par
tisan displayed on both sides. The govern
ment seemed anxious to convict if such a
thing could be effected nevertheless the at.
tempt, if such was their deesire, failed most
egregiously. There appears to be no method
by which partisanship can be kept out of
these trials and the upshot in many cases is
much To be regretted.

The way in which L. S. Senators absent
themselves from their places in the Senate is
scandalous. During the early part of this
month the roll was called twenty times,
and it was found that the average number of
absentees was 26-just one-third of the Sen
ate. So it often happens that for days States
are altogether unrepresented. In the case of
Malone, so fragrant was his conduct in this
respect, that he was requested by the Virginia
Legislature to return to Washington and at
tend to his business.
