white race, either in social or political re-
| lations: aud so far Interior Tint they la no
rights rhich arhife man iras bound to p, spect;
and that the negro might justly and lawfully
be reduced to Slavery for his own benefit. :"
The Chief Justice made an elaborate argu-
ment TO show that the trainers of the Decla-
ration of independence had no thought of
applying their words, to the negro. He de-
MED the right of any State to make citizens
of negroes, and then laid down the astonish-
ing doctrine that the Constitutional power of
Congress to make rules and regulations for
the Government Of Territories only applied
TO such Territories as were possessed when
tie Constitution was adopted. and could not
extend to those acquired afterward.
In his dissent, Justice Mclean, of Ohio,
planted himself on the principle that slavery
was local, and governed by a municipal law,
which the master could mot take with him
when he went where slavery was not author
lied He concluded with saying:
. A slave Is not mere chattel He bears
the impress of his Maker and is amenable to
the laws of God and man: and he is destined
to endless existence"
Justice Curtis, of Massachusetts, went
still aither, and contraverted every position
of the majority in an opinion of undenable
force and logic. He showed historically
that negroes had been regarded as citizens in
many of the States at the time Of the forma-
ton of the Nation, and had all the rights of
citizens He concluded by affirming in the
strongest terms the supreme power of Con-
gres' over the Territories, and the validity of
the Missouri Compromise.
No description can give an adequate idea
of the storm this decision aroused. The
Pro-Slavery men regarded it as the final
cinching OF their power upon the country.
The An,i-Slavery men accepted it as a
challenge to a final and decisive battle,
whether The country slOuld be given over
wholly and irrevocably to the Slave Power.
The battle array was formed which led
straight to Appomattox. At that insigni-
cant Virginia Court House the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States was
forever reversed and nullified.
Senator Vest had amazing hardihood to
resurrect its ghost upon which to base an
argument against the power OF Congress to
govern Territories as it peases.

full of friars, a baker made a bid fr
clerical patronage by describing his
shop as Panaderia de la Virgen del
Pillar but his still more devout neighbor
contrived to eclipse that with a

Conception"
was munching a handful of wild
cherries at that moment, and came so
near choking that the Sergeant became
interested in the topic of our conversa-
ton.
What are you two Yankeeing
about?" he inquired "those Pelado
scare-crows
Yes, you guessed it," said the Lieu
tenant; Z" | was telling Don Tomas about
the demonio getting fooled when he
called around to take them along and
found that Pelados have got no souls"
81 don't know about that" said the
old trooper; " but | reckon he got that
Rio Mayo coon all right, that chap they
caught travelling about to butcher yel-
low-grls"
Yes, you got me that time," said
the Lieutenant. That really hap
pened two years ago." he explained :;
there were series of mysterious as
sassinations, somewhat on the plan OF
the London White Chapel murders, and
our Jack the Ripper turned out to be a
young mongrel who had been Tilted by
a mulatto girl, and took his revenge
roaming the country and knitting saddle
colored females wherever he could find
them. He was caught redhanded, at
last, and the country-people killed him
with clubs before the law could get
rope ready"

all the way to Meridian, about 30 miles,

much in need of reinlorcements he will

two weeks to make the trip, unless we

making about FIVE miles per hour; took
a boat for Demopolis, then by train to
Selma, where we arrived al sunset. At
Selma we embarked Immediately on

Have had a very pleasant trip so far,
if it is slow, and all are in high spirits.
A great many ladies have cheered us on
the route, not only by their smiles and
the bouquets which they shower upon
us at every stopping-place, but with
more solid comforts in the shape OF
something good to eat. God bless the

After some further debate the vote was
taken. On a rising vote the division stood

at Ocala Fla, Protesting against the adop-
ton of. the proposition of Mr.. Bntler, of
North Carolina, to pension .x-Contederate
soldiers.
In this connection Mr.. Allen. of Nebraska
said: : believe a word on this subject Is
due at this point. | do not believe there
was ever serious purpose on the part of tie
Senator who is the author of the proposed
amendment to pension Confederate veterans.
| think the author of the amendment. like
the President of the United States, was car
Iied away by his feelings. In my opinion,
altogether too much attention is being paid
to it.
1t would he an injustice TO the rank and
file of the Confederate soldiers to say that
they would consider seriously any PROPOSE
ton to receive pensions. They have cared
for themselves for third OF a century
They have cared for their cemeteries, and fpr
their dead. 1t seems to me that tie whole
matter can be closed by saying that both the
President of the United States and the
author of the amendment were carried away
by their enthusiasm. In my Judgment.
speaking from the standpoint OF Northe N
soldier, it is time to close this incident Ii
may be closed by the happy thought that all
bitterness and sectlonallsm have been wiped
out by the late Spanish war"

THE CITY COUNCIL MEET
And Have Made Arrangements to
Raise a Fund for the Purpose of
Receiving the Boys.

An adjourned meeting of the city coun-
Gil was called to order last night at $40
o'clock, with the following members
present: Mayor Madden, Aldermen Da-
wilson, Dunn, Fitzpatrick, Murphy, Do
Ian, Stephens, Mcdonnell, Sladish, Tai
bot and Kelly.
Mayor Madden said the matter Of MAX
ing the tax levy was made a special order
for the evening.
Alderman Fitzpatrick introduced the
following resolution:
BE it resolved, BY the city council OF
the city Of Anaconda. that there shall be
levied upon the taxable property within
the city Of Anaconda, for the year 1899,
on each dollar valuation:
For general administrative purposes,
s1@ mills.
For interest on bonds and sinking
funds, ~ mills
Alderman Dolan objected to a levy Of
10 mills on the dollar. He said there were
certain districts in the city where the
people could not get the desired improve
ments. He was therefore opposed to the
levy being made too high.
Davidson was of the opinion the levy
could be made a little less than 10 mills.
Fitzpatrick differed with them.
The vote on the resolution stood s to 2.
Davidson and Dolan voting against the
proposition.
Fitzpatrick moved that the mayor call
a mass meeting Of the citizens, to meet
at the city hall next Wednesday,, for the
purpose Of making arrangements to well
come the returning volunteers. The mo-
ton carried unanimously.
Colonel 7. OLeary was then granted
the floor. He urged the adoption Of
badges, to be sold at 81 each, as a method
Of raising money to entertain the soldiers
on their return. The mayor and city
council escorted the volunteers to the
meet them at the train and escort them
back again. Colonel O'Leary was anx-
iOus that there should be no delay.
Fitzpatrick favored the badges. Da-
wilson spoke at length in favor Of the
badges. He also thought it best for the
a to announce at once that badges
would be issued and the committees could
be appointed at the mass meeting.
Mcdonald was in favor Of good COM
to entertain the returning volun-
teers and also provide for the sick mes,
as we'll as to secure employment for
them.
Colonel O'Leary said Marcus Daily had
given Instructions to his superintendent
all the volunteers who were work
ing for the Anaconda Copper Mining
company when they enlisted should get
their old jobs back upon their return.
Mayor Madden said such an order had
been issued over the signature of Mr.. NJ.
Donahoe to that effect, and any volun-
who was not able to fill his old job
would be given such work as he could
do.
Mr.. Kelly made a patriotic address re-
calling the many brave deeds of the vol
unteers.
Fire Chief Mentrum was granted a 10
days cave of absence.
Officer Sullivan was granted a leave OF
absence to visit San Francisco to meet
the returning volunteers.
