twsan the States IL was the South that acted
In ssrlot accordance with the provisions OF
the Constitution, and the North that regard

and justified itself upon the grosesque and
outrageous assumption OF what 1t termed g
"hieher law" Why. even the text books
used at West Point, by cadets from the
North "a we'll as South, until the war was
In full progress, taught that the southern
States, In seeding, only did what they had
a right to do by the organic law OF the
Union. Mr.. Harrison. II he have not Lost
his memory, also knows that the Oonstitu-
ton, as It now exists, ia not the Constitution
of the founders of the UnioD. and that the
changes In it were not made In accordance
with She mode and manner therein pre-
soribed. Why, the existence OF the State OF
West Virginia is an ever present reminder
OF the utter epd complete disregard OF the

THE LEGISLATURE OF Tennessee met In
special session to-day TO determine whether
or not the present convict labor system
of that State shall be abolished, or
amended and continued. There Is no
doubt OF the fact that convlots should

own moral end physical welfare, as to save
the people whose laws they have violated
the expense Of supporting them in ldleness.
The number of oonvcts In Tennessee would
be greatly reduced II the whipping post

best labor in which convlcts can be employed
Is work upon the roads.

Arthur Brightly a hitherto obscure

tinCion of being now Sir Arthur Brightly
would seem TO be measurably lessencd by
the circumstances that the title was all
that there is of the legacy Quite the con-
trary. From an individual whose social
advantages heretofore consisted in n
monthly visit from his landlady and an
occasional frigid call from the washer
woman, the impeCunious baron appears
to have suddenly become the fashionable
lion of the said metropolis, and has nj
ready been offered lucrative position by
an ambitious papa in the banking busi-
ness
In the present depressed condition of
speculative enterprise why do not some
of our idle capitalists organize a Foreign
Title Importation Company asks the

there is nothing in the Mckinley law dis
eliminating against this valuable COM
modify.
A carefully assorted cargo Of reduced
nobility could be brought over, say to
New York at cut immigrant rates, and
then shipped in small lots according TO
the current demand i'm different localities.
For illustration, San Francisco would
probably require as a starter job lot of,
say, one prince, two dukes, six counts,
fifteen lords, and thirty or forty bapns,
if received in good order and free from
wCevil and mildew. Smaller towns like
San Jose ought to work of, say, Il count
and three sirs month If the grain crops
were at all good. OF course the company
would exact commission in proportion
to the rank Of the goods delivered terms

chasers' risk. We throw out this noble
suggestion for what il is worth, conscious

That Colored Judge.

rom ne AHdHtd constitution.
The fact that the President did not
know of colored lawyer qualified by
knowledge of the law and practice 10 fill
q judicial position attests the hypocrisy of
the Northern Republicans loud profession
of regard for the negroes. They have had
large numbers of freed negroes in the
Northern States one hundred years, and
yet, with all their free-school systems and
colleges, they have not, within the knowl-
edge Of the President (or anybody else)
given the country n single man with legal
attainments and practice that qualify him
for judgship. If one such could be
found II would be in the Southern States,
which have only recently freed their
negroes and provided means for their
education. This is, as Mr.. Cleveland would
say, "a condition, not a theory" that pro-
claims louder than words the insincerity
of Northern solictude for the welfare and
elevation of the negro race.
