Referring to the decisions of
the United States Supreme
Conrt, in the State cases, the
st. Louis Republican says that
tribunal is "thundering forth Il
good many constitutional in
terpretations and decisions
which strike at the heart of n
long maintained Republican
policy, and dissipate long
cherished notions in repnbli-
can minds"
The effect of these decisions,
says the Republican, will be to
bring ''the Northern Republi-
can theories of government
back to its sober senses. Re
publican assumptions and usur-
pations have created Il vague
impression that the federal gov
eminent can do anything, from
the abolition of polygamy to
the collection of Il 500 debt
against the people ola co-equal
state. But the age of recon
struction is past, and these pre-
preposterous theories with it,
We are again under the neces-
sity of being reminded that the
federal government is one of
CAREFUL y and vigorously limited
powers, and it is particularly
fortunate that the reminder
should come from a court every
one of whose justices was APP
pointed by Republican Presi-
dent"

Middle and Southern States.

A special dispatch from Norfolk, Va, says
that during a heavy fog the steamer Luray,
OF the Old Dominion Line ran into and sank
the steamer Grace. of the Norfolk and Rap
pahannock river line, Just off Oraney Island.
The steamer and cargo is total loss. No
lives lost. The Luray struck the Grace q
little abaft the beam, on the port side, and
the Grace sank within three minutes from
the time she was struck. There was not
time to lower the boats, but the passengers
and crew of the Grace were rescued by lines
thrown to them from the Luray.
The steamer Carolina, captain VIM.
White, of the Old Bay Line, while On her
way from Norfolk to Baltimore, ran into the
British steamship Riversdale, off Cedar Point
during a dense fog. The steamship was
lying at anchor, and the Carolina struck III
steamship on the starboard quarter, glancing
along her side and crushing the homework
along the port or left side of the Carolina as
far back as the wheel, breaking the deck
braces smashing the wheel house and bend
ing out of shape some of the ironwork of the
wheel. The outer row of staterooms on the
saloon deck and the sides of several other
rooms were partly carried away, exposing the
interiors to the weather. There were fifty
four cabin passengers on the Carolina, of
whom third were ladies and children.
Nearly all were going through to the North.
The immediate alarm and tumult was very
great. Passengers ran out into, the saloon
from their staterooms IN undress or with
whatever clothing they could catch up at the
moment Some half-dozen passengers were
quartered in the staterooms on the damaged
side, but with one or two exceptions these
had inner rooms, which we're not damaged.
Captain Whittle, who was in the pilot-house
at the time of the collision, by his presence
of mind and calm behavior soon treasured
the passengers to their safety. No lives re-
ported lost.
State Treasurer Vincent, of Alabama, is
short in his accounts over 5000, 600 and he has

mittee to count the money in the vault. They
found S152, 200. The deficit is 1927 900, and
is amply secured by good bondsmen. Cotton
failures is given as the cause of defalcation.

OUR esteemed cotemnOrarv

OUR esteemed cOtempOrary of the
State journal, says since the publica-
tiOn Of the Jayhawker letter, Judge
HOadly has not denied the $4,000 story,
No, but he DID deny it most emphatic
ally in the shape in which it came from
Gov. Foster. In the shape in which
"Jay hawker" puts it there is nothing
to deny. You cannot give sub stance
and validity to this wretched piece OF
business by simply changing its form
The Democratic papers are now loudly
asserting that Gov. Foster bought his
first nomination for Governor. One
story is as good as the other. Neither
has any proof to back it, and, until pro-
we'd, we shall hold both as falsehOOds.
We have too high regard for the honor
of Ohio to believe that either of these
gentlemen would seek to secure a nOm-
inatiOn by corrupt and criminal meth
DDS. No insufficient evidence will sat
isfy us in either case. And when, as in
the $4,000 story, there is absolutely no
evidence at all, we shall hold that hon

Twelve up to date. On one pretense

they have been got rid of, and nothing

dOlph, Gariield's brOther-in in law, has been

place in the pOstOffice because he was
Gartield's brOther-in-law, and needed the
place, being poor man. / guess he was
competent official and attended to his
duties all right. 1 never heard any com
plant. He was superintendent of car
Tiers, Well, he had to get out. No Gar
field men are wanted now, much less
any of Garfield's relations. Why, guess
if Garfield was alive now he wouldn't

tratiOn. Well, how quick the people for
get their idols when they are broken.

warts now, and poor Garfeld's brother
in-law can't keep humble place in the
pOstOffice."

~OLD CHIOAMAUGA" ON TmDEN.

We do not believe Samuel j. Tilden
has authorized any person to say ne
will refuse to be a candidate for Presi-'
dent in 1884, If nominated by the Demo-
cratic convention. We know he will not
seek the nomination, but believe him to
be too patriotic to decline to serve the
people in any position he may be called
upon to accept. The whole life of MIR.
Tilden, the service he has rendered the
people when called upon, justifies our
belief. We are not authorized to speak
for Mr.. Tilden, nor do we believe any
other man is. The sulking of Hend-
ricks, which no doubt prevented the al
most unanimous nomination of the old
ticket in 1880, is no reason why Mr.. Tilden
who cannot be held responsible for the
inexcusable conduct OfHendricks,sh should
refuse to respond to a demand of the
people in 1884. There are few men in
the country whom the people have here
tOfOre regarded as strong friends of Mr..
Tilden, who, believing it to be his fixed
determination to retire from partlc1pa-
tiOn in political contests, are so eircum
stanced as to make the nomination of
Tilden very embarrassing to them. In
plain words, some of the men who
have assumed to speak for Mr.. Tilden,
have committed themselves to other
candidates, and don't want Tilden to ae-
cept nomination which they plainly
see will be given to him without their
aid. There are other reasons than Mr.
Tilden's unconditional refusal to ac-
cept a nomination which prompted the
assertion that he would never again be
a candidate for any position, and we
think we have correctly stated the Tea
sons. Unless Mr.. Tilden positively re-
fuses to run for President, which we
think highly improbable, he will surely
be nominated. NOdeclinatiOn by proxy
Will be ccepted.-TOledO Democrat.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
warns its friends of the Republican press
they are giving undue Importance tO
the Jayhawker $4,000 story. and that
'it is the impudence of the man that
carries the story" Jayhawker is of the
Orange Blossom variety of special corr
respondents. When his name was an
nOunced as Fosters informant, Judge
HOadly was content to rest his case; but
even Jayhawker's testimony is to the
effect that Foster enlarged the original
invention in a most extraordinary way
The Governor is the one most damaged
by this incident of the canvass.
