The Civil Rights Decision.

The opinion Of the Supreme court Of
the United States in deciding the civil
rights bill unconstitutional, has given
full recognition and effect to the doc
trine of State rights, in It's entire
scope. The decision should forever si-
lencs the cavil of political shysters who
claim there is anything dangerous to
our institutions in full reco snition of
State sovereignty. Those cayilers for
q strong, centralized government, where
State lines are obliterated, should for
ever hold Il DIR peace. This decision Of
q Republican Supreme court recog-
nizss in its fullest and most compre-
hensive acceptation the doctrine Of the
strict construction of the delegated
powers centended for by the Demo-
cratic fathers. The decision holds that
the pillars of our institutions rest up
On the broad and fundamental princi-
pie that sovereign State has right
under the constitution to regulate its
own domestic, affairs. without. inter
ference from the national government
It recognizes the feet that individual
rights and privileges belong to the
people..in their sovereign capacity: of
State governments The decision is in
itself guaranty sof the perpetuity,
strength and beauty of our Institutions,
and proves that the Judiciary is check
ppOn hasty partisan actiona by the leg
islat,ve or executive departments Of
our government, and that safety to our
institutions lays in court well yersed

A Washington dispatch says: Sher-
mans speech to the boys in New York
is handed around, read and comment
cd on in way that may be said to be
significant, in the usual way of putting
it. The soldier element in politics is
well nigh eliminated, but for consid-
erable time there has existed an effort
60 try to revive it with Sherman.
This, despite the fact that he declared
that he wished to be let alone, and his
intention to live henceforth quietly
among his friends. It is perfectly
well known that be is not averse to the
nomination. The General himself, in
his speech to the boys, has done not a
little to promote it. The purpose has
actual body with life in it. The pro-
meters Of the idea hold that, as the
time has come when the Presidential
question must be dealt with, and there
ara no prominent Republican or Demo
cratic leaders who can rally the coun-
try, they believe the idea of putting
him on the Presidential ticket is not
an impracticable one Old soldiers,
including not few Confederates, will
rally for hip as a candidate, and that
Republicans and sundry fragmentary
organizations, marching under diverse
banners, will center on him.

banners, will center on him.

The prohibition idea seems to be op-
srative in Florida, and in many parts
Of that State no liquor can be had for
a;ther money or influence. The consti-
sutionality of the recent enactment for
bidding license for the sale of liquor,
has been affirmed by the Supreme
court, and the people of any election
district may declare absolute prohibi-
akaa when they choose to.
