HAMILTON

provision of the constitution, but
under our absolute power, which the
laws of war give us in the circum-
stances in which we are placed. 1
shall vote for this bill upon that
theory and that alone for will not
stultify myself by supposing that we
have any warrant in the constitution,
for this proceeding"
Even President Lincoln was ad-
visited by his attorney general and
other members of his cabinet that
the formation of West Virginia, as
proposed, was not warranted by the
constitution and that on account of
its revolutionary character it would
be highly inexpedient and improper.
Present Lincoln recognized the
truth of this advice, but consented to
the formation of West Virginia as a
matter of necessity tending to assist
in the preservation of the govern
ment. In a written opinion he
said: "The division of this state is
dreaded as a precedent, but the
measure made expedient by war is
no precedent in time of peace.
believe that the admission of West
Virginia is expedient."
Mr.. Hamilton cited as an evidence
that President Lincoln acted from
military necessity, the fact that his
approval of the West Virginia bill
was given on December 81, 1852,
and that on january /, 1858, he is
sued the final proclamation for the
emancipation of the slaves.
Having shown in this way that
the formation of West Virginia was
permitted purely and entirely as a
matter of military necessity in time
of war and that 1t was In effect con-
quered territory taken from vir-
ginia, which was then at war with
the United States, Mr.. Hamilton
took up other similar cases in the
history Of the United States and

Salzmann was high Colt last night.
He was six pins higher than J. H.

race. Patting and H. WITCH were a
little poorer than Salzmann and lit
tie better than Jawn. Ed Wich Was
low man.
Patting dug out 2O9 pins in the sec.
ond game, which was high score last
night.
Hampton and Roantree are taking
turns on the bench. Last week Roam

After the Athletics came so awfully
