A Large Crowd and Fine Work the Second
 Day.

Memphis Tenn, May 14.-The grand interstate drill in this city continued today under the most favorable circum- stances. The weather was fine and fully 5000 people turned out to witness the competition. The first company to ap- pear upon the drill ground was the Thurston Rifles of Omaha, Neb, under command of Capt. A. H. Scharff, and their execution of the programme was exceedingly good. That company drilled today in class c, and will later appear in classes A and B. Following the Thurstons came the Governors Guards of this city, under command of Capt. T. E. Patterson.
 The third and last drill of the day was that of the Calling gun detachment of the Omaha Guards. This was the novel feature of the programme.
 Tomorrow afternoon Troops K and D of the Third United States cavalry will give an exhibition drill. Following the regular programme Arkansas day, as will be known, will be taken up, the Mccarthy Light Guards of Little Rock. Ark, and the Fletcher Zouaves of the same city appearing.

 The rate remains the same as stated in circular No F, dated April 23, from these headquarters, which is again sent out for the information of all concerned and to which your attention Is invited, since the issue of which a rate has been made for Arkansas, Missouri and Kan sas of one fare for the round trip.
 Please publish all these matters in your papers, and also that all who desire can go on these rates, whether veterans or not.
 Note that your "extension tickets" must be surrendered to the joint agent at Houston.
 I have just returned from trip to Houston, and personally inspected the "Winnie Davis auditorium" in which the convention is to be held, and looked into all the arrangements made for the comfort and convenience of the veter- ans.
 The "Winnie Davis auditorium" is beautiful beyond description, and will be to you a wonder and revelation, as it is the finest building ever erected in honor of the veterans, and the Houston management are doing all in their power to make a great success of the reunion, both as to your reception and accom- modation while there.
 I advise all who can do so to attend the reunion. and you can safely advise your neighbors to go, as it will probably be the greatest and most memorable gath ering of Confederate Veterans which will ever take place, as the gallant old heroes are passing away very fast Fra formally, GEO.

South Carolina was the first State to take a step toward the formation of the Union and the adoption of the constitu- ton. Had it not been for South Carolina no conference would have been called. "As the united American people spread through the vast eXpanse over which their Jurisdiction now extends be it re- membered," says Bancroft, "that the blessing of union is due to the warm heartedness of South Carolina" And as South Carolina was the first State to take step in the formation of the union, so she was the first to fire on the flag of the union when she felt that her right td secede was endangered. Now, South Car olina has raised the momentous question of the power of the Federal courts over State laws. The recent decision of Judge Golf declares in effect that the Legisla- ture of a State is restricted in it's ac- ton by the Federal laws.
