THE Hartford Courant calls attention in
the following words to menacing danger;
There was time, some fourteen years ago,
when the federal authority was universally
recognized as superior to the state, and when
those who had rebelled against such authori-
ty were ready to admit its power. When
the generous terms of amnesty were then
conceded to the rebels, it did not seen prob
able that during the lives of the actors in
that terrible tragedy Of civil war the same
question of the superiority OF state to nation
al authority could again be raised. But this
is the fact in at least three of the Southern
States, South Carolina, Alabama and Vir-
ginia. With Democratic Congress ready to
back the claims made by the advocates of the
extreme States rights doctrine, the question
becomes one of great Importance.

in our time, heard of so MANY new

had almost lost interest in such re-
ports, but this bit of information
gives the projects a certain degree
of novelty, at least. We have not
yet learned who are to be put into

shall know in due time, if the work
goes forward. AS the JOURNAL and

strongly of late, it is presumed that
somebody is interested in compell-

that it will do them good. All we

The case Of the widow Oliver against ex-
Souator Cameron is about TO receive n short
revival. Mr.. Peter, of tho counsel for the
plaintiff, has filed II paper asking the court
in banG not to entertain the motion TO dismiss
her appeal, and assigns as reasons that because
of her poverty she is unable to pay for the
printing of tho record, brief, &c., and to dis
miss the appeal under such circumstances
would bo virtual denial of justice. Second
Because to dismiss the appeal undor such cir
cumstances would DO in contraventon of the
spirit OF this Government, the Constitution and
laws of the land. Third-Because there arc
not only important questions of law involved
in the appeal, but questions of vital Importance
to the future administration of justice. Fourth
Because the issues in tho case go direct to
the character of poor, helpless female, and in
themselves appeal in strongest terms to see
that she has meted out to her the full extent
of law aud justice. Believing that it is q ques-
tion resting entirely in tho discretion of the
court, and that there could scarcely be
imagined a case appealing in stronger terms to
the exercise of that discretion, tho counsel
asks that the court dismiss tho motion to dis

The "Gazctte" keeps up the cry
for economy and reform and reduction
of the tax rate to one dollar on the
hundred, while the City Council,
which it would make us believe,

economy and reform is trying to increase
the police force, which will require an
increase Of the appropriations for sala-
ries. The Democrats want more police
bull-dozers at the election to bully Re-
publicans out Of their votes as they did
at the last election. If they get an
olher policeman, something after the
Dolan stripe in the Seventh ward, and
then get an inspector of elections there
something like Lee, they may stand a
chance OF carrying that Ward for the
Democrats. As Dolan and some more
Of the police were amongst the principal
law-breakers on election day, Wa do not
see why an increase of such force is
desired. If they were appointed to
preserve the peace and protect citizens
