atrocious manner Friday night, Feb

fair was the cause of her death. They
say disappointed .suitor murdered

The Loves, Courtship :
and Marriage of
Abraham Lincoln

ing and agreed to become his wife.
She must have realized the promise
in him which others disbelieved or
deserted but dimly, for she felt her
need Of better education, that she
might be more suitable helpmeet for
him. So it was arranged that while
Abraham went to Springfield for the
legislative session and to study law she
should go to Jacksonville, ILL.,, and
spend the winter In an academy there.
In the following spring they were to
be married.
Spring came, but the apple bios
SONS and the roses were laid upon her
grave.
The doctors said Ann Rutledge died
of brain fever, and doubtless they
were right. It may have been due to
her pathetic, eager desire to learn
enough to be the wife of the future
statesman that she saw in the over
grown and awkward clerk of the coun-
try store.
A year or so later Lincoln became
involved in singular embarrassment.
A girl named Mary Owens came to
New Salem to visit her sister, Mrs.
Able, and spent four weeks. Lincoln
met her, and liked her for her steady
and well-balanced character, her evil
dent domesticity, and, neither last nor
least, her prepossessing appearance.
After she went he iestingly told Mrs.
Able that If she would bring her sis
| ter back he would marry her Mrs.
Able reported the conversation, and
Mary Owens accepted Lincoln's Of
fer as being seriously intended.
Lincoln was in dreadful predica.
ment. Go back upon his word he
would not, even if it meant lifelong
misery for him. Mary Owens was a
year older than he, and when he met
her again she seemed to have lost

of the first awakenings of the ten

dream of Kipling's Brushwood Boy,
except in the non-fulfillment:
when l was little codger Tin the
log-cabin Indiana days., one day a
wagon with lady and two girls and
a man broke down near us, and while
they were fixing up they cooked in our
kitchen. The woman had books and
read us stories, and they were the
first had ever heard. l took a great
fancy to one of the girls, and when
they were gone I thought of her a
great deal, and one day, when l was
sitting out in the sun by the house.

thought l took my fathers horse and
followed the wagon, and finally l
found it, and they were surprised to
see me. / talked with the girl and
persuaded her to elope with me, and
that night put her on my horse, and
we started off across the prairie. After
several hours we came to a camp and
we found it was the one we had left
few hours before, and we went in.
The next night we tried again, and
the same thing happened-the horse
came back to the same place, and then
we concluded we ought not to elope.

went to Congress as a Democrat and repre-
sentative of the Southern whites His votes
prove that he is no Democrat, and no faithful
agent of the white people of the South.
In the matter of the negro soldiers who shot
up the town of Brownsville, Texas, Hobson
went over to the Republicans and the negroes
His speech and his vote on that question are
slap i'll the face to his own people. He won
applause at the North,-as he so often tries to
do; but the South should remember this
Brownsville vote against Hobson, and should
politically punish him for it,
In another particular Hobson has been
good Republican. He has spoken and voted
against economy in the public service. BY his
eloquence and by his vote, he has co-operated
with the Republicans in adding enormously to
the annual expenses of the Government. His
conduct in doing this at time when our peo-
pie are suffering severely from the Wall street
panic, SHOWS THAT HOBSON'S HEART
is NOT WITH HIS OWN PEOPLE.
In the case of the Ship Subsidy steal, Hob
son was about the only Democrat who lined
up with the Republicans. Practically all the
Democrats voted against it. So rank was the
robbery contemplated by the bill that thirty
odd Republicans revolted, and opposed their
own leaders.
But the rotten measure was not too rank
for Hobson. He abandoned the Democrats,

corporation point of view. However honest
he may be, he sees everything through cor
poration glasses. Thus, the Federal Judiciary
ruling the Republic does it in the interests of
the corporations.
The Colonies had long been separate and
independent, prior to the Convention of 1877.
Each colony had governed itself, made treaties,
and waged wars. Therefore, when the Dele
gates met to frame Constitution which should
erect Central Government, each Colony was
extremely jealous of it's sovereignty, and sur
rendered any portion of it reluctantly.
1t was evident that there should be a judi
cial power, somewhere, to pass upon the pues-
ton of the constitutionality of State laws.
Therefore, it was provided that the Federal
Judiciary should have such authority. But
when the Fathers came to frame the Judiciary
Act, creating the Federal Courts authorized by
the Constitution, they stipulated for the dig
nifty of the States and the uniformity of decis-
ions. How! By directing that attack upon
State law must be made in State Court,
from which an appeal lay to the Supreme
Court of the State, and from thence to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Oliver Ellsworth of Massachusetts,, was the
author of this method of testing the constitu
tionality of State laws by Federal Courts
We write this in Florida with no books of
reference at hand, but according to recollection
the original section of the Judiciary Act Of
1880 is now 100 of the Revised Statutes.
What know to be the fact is that the
Oliver Ellsworth method has never been
changed by Act of Congress. 1t is the law
of the land today. The Federal Judges of the
lower courts never dared to violate it until
the orgie of corrupt corporation rule set in
after the Civil War
The present system of allowing every judge
of lower Federal Courts to halt State govern
ments and nullify State laws destroys the
dignity of the State and renders impossible
a uniformity of decision.

From an honored friend, the Jeffersonian
receives the following letter:
St. Louis, Mo-, March 10, 1900.
Dear Friend: You have stated that under
the Constitution of the United States and the
Judiciary Act of 1880, which you say has not
been repealed, that State laws are not subject
to review until first passed upon by the SUI
preme Court of the State, and then subject to
review only by the Supreme Court of the
United States, not by any inferior Federal
Court. You have also said that the clause
of the United States Constitution against con-
hscation and impairng contracts had no refer
ence to net profits under which the railroads
seek to defeat Legislation regulating rates
Please write and print in next weekly Jeffer-
sonian a brief article setting out the whole ar
gument in the case and quoting the clause Of
the Constitution by article and sections and
the sections of the Judiciary Act Gas now
found in the statute) which you rely on as to
jurisdiction, and as to matter of net profits.
You have the matter at your fingers ends,
and | will esteem it great favor if you will
write and print the information at once, send
ing me two copies of the paper.
Your friend
Minor Meriwether.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-03-25

Our friend MeriWether will have seen, in
last weeks paper, critique of the decision to
which he presumably refers We take pleas
tire, however, in going into the matter again
During the Constitutional Convention of
1877 it was proposed, several times to give
the Supreme Court of the United States iuris-
dictiOn over Acts Of Congress, with authority
to declare such Acts void, if, in the opinion of
the Court, they were violative of the Constitu-
ton Each time that this proposition was
made, 1T WAS VOTED DOWN.
Yet, one of the first of the judicial usurpa-
tons of John Marshall-the Hami1tonian par
tisan--Was to decide that the Supreme Court
inherently possessed the power which the
trainers of the Constitution repeatedly refused
to give it. 1t was Chief Justice Marshall
whose appointment by President John Adams
was chiefly due to the fact that Marshall was
a violent and determined enemy of Jefferson
and Of denocracy-whof first arrogated to the
Supreme Court the Ultimate Sovereignty in
these United States by the assertion of the
authority to nulify legislation enacted by Con
gress and approved by the President.
The Constitution makes each separate
branch of Government coordinate. LegiSla-
tive powers, Executive powers and judicial
powers were kept apart, SO that neither would
absorb the others.
But when the Supreme Court usurped the
right to set aside what the legislative and the
Executive had done, the Judiciary became STU
preme, destroying that coordination which the
fundamental theory and principle upon which
our Republic was founded. 1t is no longer, in
fact, republic. The people do not elect Fed
eral Judges, nor exert any control over them
These usurpatory magistrates constitute a self
perpetuating autocracy and, inasmuch the
Federal Judge is generally corporation law
yer, he goes upon the bench committed to the
