HUGH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Not many days ago we observed in the
editorial columns Of the Sun, says the
New York Herald. several declarations
to the effect that Mr.. Randall was a
prescribed" man, and hat he was pro.
scribed for his opinions, which favored a
tariff for protection with incidental
revenue; and we further observed that
''the gentlemen who favored a strictly
revenue tariff" had got control Of the
organization Of the House Of Representa-.
%tives," and that in consequence of all
this the Democratic party and it's chances
were rapidly going to the "demnition
bow-wows." But, behold, now the Sur
tells us that the difference between Mr.
Carlisle and MI. Randall on the tariff sis

CAPITALIZATION.

Now mark, at q single glance, says the
American Register, the progressive
strides which have been made in subor-
dinating the States and Transforming the
Federal Government into a consolidated
empire, in accord with the views of
Alexander Hamilton. The annual
revenues Of the Federal Government col
lected aud discussed have been enlarged
from about four millions in 1870 to an
amount exceeding four hundred millions
in 1881; and at this time the President
collects and disburses annually about
four hundred and fifty millions of dollars
in the operations of the Government.
He has the power of appointment and
removal over more than one hundred
thousand officers and agents Of the Gov
eminent, stationed all over the country.
As Commander-in Chief of the Army
and Navy, and welding this enormous
revenue and patronage, besides being the
head and leader of the dominant political
party, with his veto power on Congress,
what is wanting to make the President,
for the time being, at least, an autocrat ?
The King Of England never exercised
more extensive powers over the political
affairs Of his kingdom than does the
President over the affairs Of the
United States. If Hamilton were now
living he would realize his beau-ideal
of q Government in the enlarged
powers Of the President. The political
party Of his followers has now been in
power twenty-five years, and the States
have been utterly subordinated, dwarfed
to the condition of mere local municipal.
tiles. In q political point Of view, to
use Mr.. Hamilton's own language, the
Federal power has swallowed up the
States. This is most certainly true, as
to the States being of coordinate au-
thority and checks upon the assumption
and abuse Of power in the Federal Gov
eminent. By the Constitution, while
the Federal Government was made su-
preme within the sphere Of its delegated
and specially defined powers. the States
were left supreme within the sphere of
their reserved powers. But the Federal
Government, like the lion in the fable,
choosing for himself because he had the
power, assumed at once to decide for
itself all questions of conflict of author
ity with the States, and from that time
on the States have been belittled and
the Federal authority exalted.
The opposition to the Democracy, un.
der all the various names and DISCUSSES
which it has assumed, and in all its di.
versified phases, has, when in power,
ever struggled to enlarge the operations,
revenues and patronage of the Federal
Government, and absorb the powers Of
the States.

The Cessor Telegram.

We find the following in the
National Republican of Friday
last
One of the principal reasons
why Gen. Chalmers is visiting
Washington at this season is to
clear himself of the charge which
had been circulated by bis enc
mics in Mississippi that he had
forged the following telegraphic
dispatch:
Washington, d. c., July 6. 1883.

Chalmers.

here that the second Congression-
al district would be made over

prove this statement.
JAMES ID. CEssoR.
It seems that Ccssor, who is a
postofiice department. attache, had
informed ex-Congressman Lynch
that he had not sent the dispatch,
and bis denial had been used as a
basis for the forgery charge. Gen
Chalmers yesterday made the fol
lowing statement to a correspond
ent:

LYNCH'S REPLY.

In the National Republican of
Saturday last, after quoting what
Chalmers and Cessor says, Lynch
says as fellows:
"a remark or two from me in
this connection will not be inap-
propriate. Chalmers has a conf
dental friend in this city who
holds a clerkship in the pension
Office, to whom Chalmers wrote
for information upon this subject.
My own opinion is that the origi-
nal draft of the dispatch was
written and sent here by Chalmers
himself. This, of course, is not q
positive assertion; it is simply my
own opinion, based upon my
knowledge of the man and his pc
culiar methods. This pension Of
flee clerk, TO whom Chalmers
wrote, approached Cessor with a
prepared dispatch, with the re-
quest that he sign the same. As
Cessor holds his present position
upon the recommendation of
Chalmers, he did not desire to ab.
solutely refuse to serve his friend,
still he would not sign it in its
original form, but so chang
ed the phraseology as to make it
refer to the existence of II ru-
NOR instead of making it a posi-
tive declaration, and authorized
that to be sent over his name.
Bnt the pension ONCE clerk who
acted as go.between refused to
send the one he was authorized to
send, but sent the one he evident
| ly believed would do the most
good. These are the facts in the
case. Another thing: 1t will be
noticed that the above dispatch
is dated July @. The Independent
convention before which the al
legged Cessor dispatch was reat
was held July A. How it is posi-
ble for a dispatch to be received
and read before a convention two
days before it was sent is a matter
that am necessarily compelled t
leave to the public to infer.
JOHN II. LYNCH"
