Journal, ANBWER, ‘'be Constitution of tho Unitod Btatea doclaros that tho juriediction of tho United Btatos Courts shall not extend to any suit in which a Btate is o porty dotendant, or words to that offect. If somo pereon had sued the Stato of Iows in tho Unpitod States District Court, if tho Judge had taken jurisdiction and given judgment sgainat tho Stato, and ordored the Marshal to colleck it by levy-on the Blate Twnsury, such o casp would have beon analogous to the action of Judgo Durell in New Orleans. Ho took jurledietion in & cago whoro it was oxproesly prohibited by the Constitution, All the mowmbors of tho Souats Committoo say this, including Morton, 11, in tho.case supposed. the Stato Trensuror of Iowa ghould resiat the oxecution, and the Macghal ehould call on the President for troops t6 oxeonte his procoss, wonld tho Promdent be justified in furpishing them? Istho Couvstitu- tion binding on him or not? Benator Carpon- tor, by way of Jotting Grani (or himself) down cosy, sayeitis not. The Prosident must do whatover & District Jadgo orders, whother it bo to solzo a Btate-Houso or to iang & citizen with- out jury trial. Thera s no ect a0 pointedly op- posed to tho prohibitions of tho Constitution thint the Prosidont must not do it if o District Judgo, drunk o sobor, ordata that it bo dono. Ono of the most important orders, by the way, issued by Judge Durell was mado oulside of the court-raom, in tho satreot, without the attestation of the Ctork, and without the seal of thho Court. What of that? If tho President ia botnd to violato the Cousti- tution because o District Judgo tolls him to, tho form ot the order is of tho elightest consequence. Mr. Oarponter swill not go into o court-room aud affer Lils profossional opinion that the Prosidont ia voquired or ovon pormitted to transgross the plain languago of tho Constitution bocauso somo Judge has issued an order which he had no business to fssuc.

Tho mooting of tho Natlons) Agricultural Congrosa at Indinnapolin finds it Hrab impor- tanco In showing tho strongth of tho farmors' organizations throughout tio country. Twonty- tour Btntes aro roprosonted from Vermont to Goorgin, and this monns that {lio” farmera are wheoling into lino with tho purposs of protoot- ing tholr own fntorosts in tholr oivn way, It Is signifioant thiat thoy aro coming nonrer togothor by moans of tholr local organizatlons in tho North and Bouth, andin the East and Woat. "Thsolr noctional intorosts ara not nlways identi- cal, but thoro sgems to bo & good comprohension of tho fack thnt thelr gonornl intorests aro tho ssmo, and thai they are power- ful onough to proteot thom by unity of aclion. Niuely soclotion aro roported as roprosontod with 160 dologates tn all; but tho mont remarkablo atatomont of eirongth is found iu the third annual roport of the Socrotary of tho Oongress, who says that thore are alroady 10,000 agrionltural assoclations in tho country, which have an aggrogate membership of 400,000 farm- ora. This catimate ovidently includes all tho Btate, couuty, aud town organizations, the clubs, grangos, unlvorsitios, bonrds, counclls, and patrons of indusiry, Two-thirds of thoso aago- ointiong, it is nunounced, have boon organizod within tho past six months, or sinco tho atton- tion of tho farming community has boon directed to tho spooisl hardships which it is called upon to boar in & bad \year. It s fair to prosume, thoreforo, that tho ma- fority of thoso sacletios hava boon organizad with tho practical purposo of putting down tho sbusoa that are responsiblo for tholr prosont suf- forings, and thoroin diffor from tho formor pu- sactations af farmors organized simply with o viow to tha advincamont of agriculturo ns a sclonco, and to promoto tho local interosts of particular soctions, In their now form, theso farmors’ nssocintions have o semi-political char- nctor, and, although thers is no pratonse or pro- fossion of political purposo, they cannot fail to ‘oxort n strong influcnce in the shaping of future political ovents of primo importance to tho country. Many of tho subjects roforred by tho Indinne apolis Convontion to spocial committass for dis- cussion aro of & clans intorest to tho fermors -nlone,~guch as meterology aud corn erops, hor- ticulturo and entomology. Othars, howover, suoh a8 the railway system, o transportation problom, socioty organization, agicultural col- logen, and tho public Iands, are of genoral ime port, and tho resolutions of tha Indianapolis Congress on theso -subfocts will bo Ivoked for with intorost, though thoy Wil not necossarily oxpross tho sottled conviotions of tho majority of tho farmors, bocauso of tho incompletoness of tho roprosontution, the nowness of tho organ- izations, and the lack of instruction to delegaten. Tho quostion of transportation, for instanco, which is the most important of ali un- dor prosont consideratfon, has not boen bofore tho farmers long onough for thom to undorstand it fully or suggost an intelligont &rid practical romedy. From pres- ont {udications, it is not probablo thnt tho In- dianapolis Convention, will_give Free Trado any- thing likio tho consideration which its importanco Qomaudes, Thig principle is the foundation for overy adoquato remody of not only the trang- portation quostion, bub of all tho othor griov- ances of schich tho farmers complain. It is probablo that, boforo this fact 14 fully recognized by the farmers, thefr .causo will be harawsed by patent romedios suggostod in tho intorost of po- litieal parties and demagogues, and thoir movo- mont will bo diverted in n varioty of directions favorable to everything cléa excopt thoir roliof. 1t is, porbaps; too early to expect in o conven- tion of partial roprosentation that the ap- pression of tho proteciive system should bo cloarly dovoloped and genorally understood, but no sido-fights agaiust railroada and middle-men will holp them out of their presont ombarrassments. Until they unite in a common effort to brosk down the systom which cooreos from thom tho paymont of 50 por cont additional upou tho implomeonts thoy use, tho clothos they wear, and the transportation of thelr grafn, and which dobars them from com- peting on oqual torme with tho paupor labor of Europe, their conventions, congrosses, and sociotica will fall short of that practical scopo for which their organizations would othorwise bo efficiont, Tho farmers oro stopping half-way whon their national conventions ignore this great abuso un- derlying all their troublos to discuss the profits of mjddlo-mon, Thoso, though they may bo ox- cesive, furnish at loast tho componsation of con- vonience and service. Bo the railronds, though thoy may bo oxtortionate in thoir charges in somo enaes, have facilitated tho exchange of com- modities, and brought markots to agricultural acetions that would otherwiso bave beou shut out from & ealo of thoir productions, The tarift alonoe, created for tho benefiv of monopolists in all lings, offers no compensation, ng conven- fouce, no service whatever to tho farmors, but only oxtortion and oppreesion at evory point, It doos not reliove taxation ; it is largely rosponsi- blo for tho overchorgas of tho railronds ; it rop- rosonts one-third of the cost of every implo- ment which tho farmer usos, and overy articlo of clothing leo and his family wonr; it incroases tho cost of production ; it diminishos the yalue of agvicultural products by loweriug the exchangeabla valus of all oxe ports ; nnd it by tho singlo cloment of tho Gove ornment whioh undertakaa.to throw the burden of au fnlquity all upon au innacent claes, and bostow its bonofits upon o guilty class. Tho farmors aro the innocent clags, which Loars the burdon, and tho monopolists ara tho guilty class, which darives the profit. Noithor shares with tho other. How, thow, can any convention of farmers in this country, whothor natiousl or local, overlaok tho part which tho tariff s play- Ing in thin fight of theirs for solf-protoction againat mouopoly and oxtortion ? Tiepublioan govorn- mont in Englend has mot with o dooided rebuft from John Bright, which is all the moro sovera ay Bradlaugh and his assoefates had counted upou Mr. Bright's support aud sympathy.

In the first place, it soéma scarcoly to ho undor- stood that all five of our Cirowt Judgos nro to ho olected, sinco such o construction of tho Con- stitution is comparativoly rooont. In tho noxt placo, thoro is a.gonoral improssion that, as thoro is only. ono ttckot in- the flold, conslsting of {ho prosont Oircuit’ Judges, -thero is no necessity for' polling & large’ voto, aud poople might just a8 well atay ewoy from the polls a5 not, It s of tho utmost concern that this improsalon shionld bo removod. The importanco of the prosent elootlon is pro- elsoly oquivalont to the importanco of hnving an honost and able Judiciary, Tho Judges to bo olocted next Monday hold their offices six yoars, It has boon agrood with surprising unanimity among tho pross, tho political partios, tho law- yors, and tho people, that tho only safo courso to guard agafost the dangor of incapnity or cor- ruption oreoping into .

Horoln lios the dangor, If the re- speotablo poopla of the city and county aball ro~ mnin nway from tho polls under the conviction thint onr five Judgos will cortninly bo olected, it 15 not nt ull impossiblo that Sem Aehton will ba able o drum up onough votos to dofest ona of theso candldatos, Bupposo, for instance, that tho publie apathy, which we Lnvo reasonably ac- counted for, sball kaop down tha whola voto of the county to, say, 500. All that Mr, Ashton will nced to do, in thet caso, is to mlly tho bummers fn a couplo of wards to socuro enough votos to dofoat whichovor of tho fivo candidates —Willfams, Rogors, Treo, Booth, or Farwoll— shall recolve the smallest numbor of votes, It i not necosaary for us to repont that this would Do & public calamity, from which tho intorests of Ghicago end Cook County would be likely to suffor moro ot less for tho nost eixyomra, All respectablo peapla concedo a8 much, It must bo avortsd, and the only waytomake surs of thisis, for ovory man to tuke tha timonoxt Mondsy to go to the polle. Thoro willbono rush, as in tho caso of hotly-contested goneral oloctlons, and tho timo and trouble will bo insignificent com- pared to tho importanco of the rosult. It is neeegsary-to koep in mind that thore is o real danger that Haom Ashton, who has tho field of bummorism all to himself on this occasion, muy ‘worlk up aud pull out énough votes to olect him over ono of the candidasos, it tho poople gon- orally stuy away from tho polls, Such a pros- pect as this should prompt every man to cast his voto noxt Monday a8 n moro important, duty thou that of voiing for President, Govornor, Mayor, or at any othor cloction, TIE SHOT.GUN AS A JUDICIAL WEAPON, « Bouthern papora Dbring us tho facts concorn- ing a recont attompt nt murder at Atlanta, and the tomporary postponomiont of the job by tho intorferouco of tho logal nuthoritics.

Tho tostimony was henrd, whon the Oourt, Judgo Moplins, according to tho erald, “smade somo of tho most beautitul and approprinto Tomarks wo hiavo oyor Loard.” The following aro somo of tho beautiful romarls of tho Court: That ho had carefully considered this case ns a man and a magistrata; that the peace muat bo preserved at oll hezards; that s falluro on tha part of tho Mayor nnd bln oMcors on Tueadny to do tholr duty, and $n- ntand of {hfs trial thero might hnvo beon o trinl for kiliiug, and tho remaindor of dofendant lifo embit- tored with regrot; that Lo appreclated tho provoca~ ton; thot whenover & cinrgo was mado by tho slaudor- ous tonguo of uuother that his blood was tafnied, that tho fmporfection of Luman naturo,~it it was an fm- perfection,—would, in tho opinfon of overy man worthy to livo, Juslify & resort to tho shot-gim ; that whon the imputation of tho want of chastity of a man's mothor was added to tho provocation, thero aro fow ‘mon who would not pronunnco i nn offense that only blood could wipo outj hutat thosama tme his duty was cloar, and, knowing the dofendaut, ho falt com= pollod to bind him over fu a $10,000 bond, ‘Whothor the Court fntonded to bo understood that tho * shot-gun,” na distinguishied from tho riflo or the rovolvor, i the appropriato moans of avenging a slandor of this kind, fo onoof the quostions poouliar to the codo, and can only be dotorminod by sn export.: Cortainly tho Court intimatod thet euchan offonso could only bo wiped out by blood, which is an extromo roading ,0ftho Jaw ot libol tobo dolipored from tho Bonch. Abrams gavo tho bond, his suroties roquiring of him a pledge that 'insido tho Blato ho would koep tho peaco until tho bopd oxpirod.” A convontion of editors from difforont parts of tho Stato, thon in Atlsnts, declded that it was tho duty of Stylos to addross his note of expla- natlon and roparation directly to Abrams, and secordingly Stylos suthorizod the chauge of tho addross from “Col.

Tha Zerald statos that public opinion Is on the sldo of Abrams, and adds that “tho lander wae g0 torrible and jaggod in it suggostions that Mr. 8t. Clalr-Abrams was ab- solutely stupofied whon tho foul roport was flashed upon him.” It furthor gives tho gonc- alogy of Mr. Abrams, from whick It sppears that Lo *bolongs to a family throughly ro- epootablo in evory rospaot, of pure and good Spanish blood, and for sovoral gonorations known and osteemed by the communities in ‘which they live.,” His mother is now living in Kingston, Jamnica, Ho sorved honorably in tho artillory sorvico of tho Conforate army.
