The fght Upon Ewart by Butler and

are unable to comprehend. AS to what
they have sworn, up to this time, we are
not informed. Lusk has acted with good
judgment in refusing to be a witness in

we are fully confident that the states
will be entirely competent to deal with
the subject, i~ntelligently and, upon the
whole. justly, when it shall come up for
treatment. 1t is a matter that the gen.
eral government has, at present, no con-
stitutional rights over: and one the gen
eral government should never be grant,
ed power to legislate upon, for it can only
be justly handled by the. local govern
ments. If congress had the power to
meddle. to such an extent in the peoples
affairs as the Lowering amendment to the
constitution seeks to give, the result
would be inevitable dissolution of the
union, or the dropping of the amendment
into the abys,n of innocuous desuetude.
We would see what we now see, one sec

sion % use congress to cripple certain
states, or groups of states, for the bene-
fit of other parts of the union. A blind
man may see what the ltimat result
would be.-ChattanooGa Times.
