and his allegiance to the federal
government subordinate; that
each State had the right to with
draw or secede from the Union
and resume its original sovereign
ty, and was the sole Judge of the
causes for which 1t might choose
to secede. In the North, the
prevailing view was that the con-
stitution was the supreme law of
the land, and made the federal
government sovereign within it's
constitutional sphere; that the
allegiance of the citizen was due
first to the federal government.
leaving allegiance to his state only
secondary; and that the alleged
right of secession had no exist
ence.
From time to time, in contro-
versies in which north and south
took antagonistic positions, the
south had threatened to secede
from the Union unless the north
yielded. This threat acquired
special prominence in the dispute
respecting slavery in the Terri
tories; and in the Presidential
campaign of 1860 it took an epi-
grammatic form in a leading cam
paign cry of the southern orators
and their northern allies: "The
North must recede, or the South
will secede." The North regard
ed this as mere bluff" and re-
sponded that the South enjoyed
such advantages under the federal
government that, so far from
really intending to secede, she
couldn't be kicked out of the
Union"
The course of events after the
election of Lincoln proved that
the Southern extremists were in
earnest in the matter of secession.
South Carolina Immediately call
ed q State Convention, which on
December goth, unanimously
adopted Secession Ordinance. 4"
This example was rapidly follow
ed by other Southern States, and
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas
adopted similar ordinances, the
last being that of Texas,
adopted February 1st. On Feb
ruary 4th a convention of dele
gates from these States met at
Montgomery, Alabama. On the
Sth, this convention organized a
Confederacy, under the name of
the Confederate States of Amer
ica," and adopted a provisional
constitution. On the 9th they
elected Jefferson Davis, of Missis-
sippi, President, and Alexander
H. Stephens, of Georgia, Vice
President. On March 18th the
convention adopted a permanent
constitution. Meantime the men,
bers of the federal Congress from
the seeding states, and all the
federal officials within those
States, resigned; and the authori-
ties of the several states seized
all federal property within the
State limits, except Fort Sumter,
in Charleston harbor, and Fort
Pickens, near Pensacola.

crate States prepared to main
tain itself by arms against the
United States, and raised armies
of enthusiastic volunteers. After
unsuccessful efforts to secure rec
ognition by the federal govern
ment, it opened war at half-past
four on Friday morning, April 12,
1861, by bombarding Fort Sum-
ter, which was garrisoned by
eighty-five officers and men, with
forty-three non-combatant labor
ers, and commanded by Major
Anderson. The bombardment
continued for two days, without
loss on either side, and on Sun
day morning, the 14th, the fort
was surrendered.
The proceedings on the part of
the seeding states, eliminating
in an attack on a federal fort,
were regarded by the federal gov-
ernment as rebellion against
the authority of the United States,
and President Lincoln at once took
W ouppl COo ~ NY
out a large force of volunteers.
The war for its suppression lasted
four years. It's engagements
were more than two thousand in
number, varying in magnitude
from an affair of outposts or
scouting parties to battles lasting
from two days to a week, and
took place in every state south of
the Potomac, and of the Ohio, in
Maryland and Pennsylvania, in
the States west of the Mississippi
from Missouri to Texas, in the
Indian Territory, New Mexico and
Arizona, and included a guerilla
raid through southern Indiana
and Ohio by force under the
Confederate General John Nor
gan, which ended with the defeat
and capture of Morgan. The war
closed with the surrender of the
Confederate armies in the spring
of 1865; that of Gen. Lee, in Vir-
ginia, April 3; that of Gen. Johns
ton, in North Carolina, April 26;
that of Gen. Taylor, in Alabama,
May 4th; and that of the trans
Mississippi forces May 26th. And
with the end of the war came the
end of slavery.

Will Still Occupy the Same Position
of Chief Clerk of the Auditor

1t Is not believed that any change
will be made in the chief clerkship,
now held by N. E. Hause, of Wayne
county, one of the best posted men
in Pennsylvania on corporation tax
affairs and of long experience in the
department. Mr.. Hause has been
retained in the department during
three terms of auditor general and
in addition to being an expert in tax
matters is an attorney. In the event
of a wholesale change in the depart
ment Mr.. Hause would be the man
to depend upon.

MOTHER EDDY, the leader of the

bers were present, a six-hour session
was held to which only those who
believed that all MATTER is an il

full busy, trying to disbelieve that
there is something more substantial

If you want your town to improve,
improve it. If you want your town
lively, make it. Don't go to sleep,
but get up and work for it, talk
about it and talk favorably. If you
have property, improve it, paint your
houses, clean up your alleys and
back yards, make your surroundings
pleasant, and you will be worth more
in the market. If you are doing rea-
sonably well advise your friends to
come and invest near you. Work
steadily for your home dealers. Keep
your money at home as much as pos
sible, and it is likely to help you in
return. The successful towns have
been made by the property owners
pulling together. Public improve
ment is an investment that pays
Don't waste your time over dirty
quarrels and hold back your aid
from good objects through spite, but
work for some good and you will
find yourself benefited"
