An offort is boing put forth by his rivals in the raca to nse the Cuaupenzary lotter to his disadvantage, but from tho version of tho lettergiven by Judge Marrnews it would appear that his motives and intentions in writing it have been wholly smisconstrued, if not actually misrepresonted. A now candidnto is in tho fleld in the porson of the Iion. 8, C. Snenuaninaxs, who,'tos gether with Gon. Ganrrzrn and Judge Tarr, complotes a quartet of aspirants any one of whom wonld reflect credit upon Ohio in the United States Sgnate. Tho latest indications ara that the factions opposition of SodoN Cauenox and n few other disappointed Senators to the con- firmation of Prosident Havzs' Cabinet nomi- nations will result in nothing olso but defeat to tho scheming obstructionists, All the nominations, excopting that of Evants for tho Stato portfolio, upon refoerenco to tho spproprinte committces, have bLeen consid- ered, and will probably be favorably roport. ed to the Bonato to-day. Tho principal op- position in the Foreign Affairs Comnmittes to tlic comfirmation of Mr. Iivants comes from CaxeroN, the Chairman, but it is not be- lovod that Canenon’s influonce will bo suf- ficiently powerful to scoure an unfavorable report. The second trial of Anzxanpen Burirvaw for the killing of Fraxois Ilaxronp termi. unted Inst evening in a verdict of acquittal, It will bo remembered that on tho first trial tho jury disngreed, one stubborn juror re- maining firm to tho lastin favor of con. viction. Two important circnmstances have beun of great benefit to the acensed in these trinls—first, Lis privilego of choosiug tho one particular Judge known to be favorably in- clined toward the theory of the defonse; and, second, the intervening . oocurrence of tho Presidontial campaign and tho oxciting and engrousing ovents subsequently transpiring, The popular indignation whick found expression in tho petitions with thonsands of wiguaturos attnched ecalling upon Judge McALuren to resign had lost its force in the long interval bstween tho tlrst and second trials, nud, in view of all the advantages that the defondaut enjoyed, it is not surprising that the law's clutch has re. Inxed and he is permitted to walk the stroets o freo mon. — Gentlomeon of emotionn! naturo and meth- ods, like Bonator BuarNe, of Maine, are apt to make premature stutements and eay and do thingu which they subsequently havo res- son to regrot. ‘I'o speak famillarly, they not unfrequently go off at lalf-cock ; they nre + Cnngerouss to just that extont.

We are not sure that the advice would not hayé bean good in any easo, but it is worthy of uole that, on the following day, Mr. BLaixg fouud it necessary to state that Mr, Evaors had not joined in any such cowmunication in the manner and ex. tent indicated; but Mr, Braixg had slready tmproved Lis opportunity for saying impert. nent and unfair things, so that his point was mudo potwithstanding the subsequent cor- reetion, 'ha Chicago produce markets were less Betive yesterday, and generally weak, Mues pork closed 32§c por brl lower, at $14.12}@ 14.16 for April and $14.82}@14.85 for 3uy.

To this end o mass-meeting is to b called for Mondny evening next. It ought to be large. ly attended. There is no donbt that the great bulk of the Republicans of Chieago, nud no small portion of ihe Democrats, Leartily ndmira and approve of the firm stand taken by the Prosident. Then they should not hesitato to eay so. The moral support of Chicago is neoded, and must not be withheld. Presidont Hayzs yestorday recoived visita from Benator Coxoves, of Florida, who ro- coived soveral Democrntic votes, and is classed among the Conservative Republicans of the Bouth, nnd from a delegation of col- ored mon of South Carolina, including Rep- resontatives in Congress, Judges, Stata of- ficinls, members of the Legislature, ote. The new policy of pacification and gelf. government was discussed, BMr. Haxes ro- celving with the most respectfnl at- tention nnd intorest the views of his visitors upon the important ques. tions under consideration. Ssnator Coxoven gave assuranco of his intontion to co.operate with tho mensures of tho Administration looking to the abolishment of the color-lina oad the establishment of peaca and prospor- ity upon a permanont basis, though he is not sanguino of the success of the methods pro- posed. ‘The interviow between the Presi. dont and the colored delegation from South Carolina is sald to have been of a mutually plensnnt character and satisfactory as to its ropults, tho delegation being firmly im. prassed with tho conviction that their raco hes nothing to fear from the application of the principles underlying the new Southern policy. THE SOUTHERN QUESTION. . Those Republicans who have set ont to mnake war on President Hares on scconnt of his assumed disposition to concillate tho Bouthern people can only hope at best to maintain the * bloody.shirt " policy in the two Btates of Louisiana and South Carolina, It will searcely be urged by the most radical of theso gentlomen that the army can be- used in Mississippl, Alabama, Florida, Ar- kouaas, and other SBouthern Btates which have passed under the political control of the Democrats, in order to overturn the existiog Governments and reimpose upon the people the carpot-bag politicians whom they have displaced. ‘It is only a question, thon, whother the United Btates troops sliall bo employed in Lonisiana and South Oarolina as they have been omployed under Gen. Grant's Adminisiration to main. tain State Governmonts that are confessedly obnoxious to the people, and which wonld fall of their own weight if left unsupported for a day. s 'To proporly understand the morits of this controversy, we recall ex-Gov. Kerrooa's farowell mossago to the Louisiana Legisla- ture, or rathor to that portion of the Legis- Inture which cspoused his and Packanp's courss, In the courso of his messago he saids’ ~ It ls argued with apparent plausibility that the disordera admitted to prevall in vanse of the Bouth ern Blates aro tho result of the Inefiiciency of the Republican Stata authorities and their inabllity to enforce the laws and bring the guilty partios to Justice. 1tis polnted out that in Georala, Ala- bama, and other Southorn States which have been redecmed, s |t Is called, from Hepablican rule, pence prevalls and political munlers are compara- tively unknown, The very statement of this propusition caerios with it & confession of guilt. Tt discloses the fa:t that the disorders {n the South are creuted by opponents of Republicanism for the purposo of obualning conttol of the Govornment, aud that until they abtain posseeston of the oftices, whother they havo aich a msjority of legal votera a8 would justly entitle thein to thoss ofices o not, political turmoll will continue, No loeal tribunals can provent or punieh polltical ofenses whilst tho controlling public sentiment amongst the mora fn- fluential citizenas sanctions, or ut leust connives at, thess disorders, There sccms tobe hut theee ways by which peace can be mnalatained and the iaws of tno 8tate and of thu United States enforced in Loulvlana againat political offeuders: First, the surrender of the State tovernment to the minority wha cantrolled ita destinles Lefors the cwancipa- tlon of tha slaves, Second, tho acceptance by that minonty in good faith of the constitutional amend. ments, which fsanes wore decided by the War, Third, the enactment by Congrers of such appros priate snd valld legislation s will secure the en- actment of thess amendments agalnst organized, fnsldious, and desperate hostillty, It s fuir to presume that Gov, Kerrooo made out for himuelf and his faction the best cago that could be presented. - Yet what ho sald is at the best a confession that the carpot-bag clique has not proved strong onough to protoct itsolf mor the blacks whose votes have kept it in power. The radical Republicans and carpet-baggers have hiad absoluta control of the State for the lnat eight years,—four years under Wamtorn and four yoars under Kxrroso,—and this was o plea for four years more under Pacx. awp. Yet Qov, Kzwwoge confessed in the message from which wo have quoted sbove that it will require new legisla. tlon from Congress of a coercive nature, to be enforced by the stroug arm of the Gen- eral CGovernment, to enable the Paoxanp rogimo to maintain jiself, It is a confession that the carpet-bag clique hos not the power to protect of taclf the palitical rights of the blacks, since Gov. Kerroaa admits that the local authorities have not provented or pun- ished the offenses complained of, and cannot do so. Yetthere is not o King or an Em. peror of modern times who has been vested with a more extensive appointing powor or more absolute methods than the Governor of Loulsiana enjoys under the present laws of that Hlate, In sddition to the pat. ronsge and privileges which Governors of Btates ordinarily enjoy, the Governor of Louisiana controls the appolntment of the Bupreme Judges, the metropolitan police, tho Asscssors and Collectors of Taxes, the reglsters of volers, eto., eto.,—eloments of Btate Govornment that are usually provided by avote of the people as a whole or in the organized local Governments of oounties, cities, and towns, He has the organization and command of the militia, and if he has, a8 claimed, a large 1ajority of the people of the Btate back of him, there is every reason to expect of the Governor, with tho advan- tage of law, authority, organization, the courts, the army, and the host of ofiicebold. ers, that Lo should enforco order and protect the weak, It is what would be cxpocted frors the Governor of lllinols, if riot URDA ., MA.WUH 10, 1847—'Ly Liv 15 and ontrnge threatencd the peaceabls citizens of this State ; we know of no ronson why as much should not be exacted from the Gov. ernor of Lonisiana. Yet ho asks in cfTect, as does his successor, that Louisiana shall be treated as & province, and a stato of semi. siege mmntained by the United States army. Tt has ocenrred to a very.large proportion of the Republicans of this country, among whom it is not unlikely that President Harxs may be connted, that th® * protection” which the Keirooo-Paoxarp Governments are consiantly praying for is rather protection for acheming politicians than for the col. orad people. At all evonts, it is certain that, 80 far aa the oolored people ars concernod, it is n protection which doesn't protect. It is timo, therefore, to serlously consider tho protoction which the colored people find under home rule, such a8 hna been esiablished in Georgia and Arkansas, from which thero hias boen no complaint for yoars of bulldozing or out-- rages. It may be that tho surrendor of the State Governments to the nativea implies and carries with it the_acceptance in good faith of the constitutional amondments and the guarnntee of political rights to the blacke. Tho absence of complaint in those States wonld seem to indicato as much, and whenever the whites divide among them- selves the negroes’ voto will be worth having on cither side, and the negro will be not meorely protected politically, but coneiliated nud sought after. Peacoe and good-fecling will afford n good deal better protection than n continuation of coercion which is success. fully resisted, sa Gov, Keutooo has ad- mitted. y the patronage of his offica to promoto his own re-election, I desire to perform what I regard as a duty in stating now my inflexible purpose, if elected, not to be a candidate for election to a seccond term,” & In pursuance of an act of Congress passed March 3, 1871, Promdent Graxz appointed in May of that yonr an Advisory Civil Bervico Boanl; of which Gronox WirLiax Cunrtis was Chiairman And the editor of Trx Tniauxn n member, and required thom to davise and propare rules and regulations for the admis. sion of persons into the Civil Service pf the Genernl Governmont, The Board made ita first roport Deo. 18, 1871, The report of the Advisory Board did not touch on the ques- tion of a single lorm of the Presidency as any part of the reformod Civil-Bervico sys- tem. The oditor of Tnx TrisvNz wrote an independent report in faver of the single- term iden, supporting it with soh argumenta. a8 soomed sound to him ; but it was not in. corporated in the published reports or pro- ceedings of the Board, for the reason that it did not appear to fall within the recommend. ations which the mct of Congress scemed to authoriza tho Board to make ta the Prosi- dent, and iwas, of course, outallo of the rules and rognlations whith he was author. ized to proseribe for tho admission of pet- rons into the Civil Rorvica of the United States, Tho paper was filed away by its anthor for fature nse. Therecommondation of President Ilarzs for an nmendment to the Constitution prescribing a single Presi- dontial term of six years, and his pledge to hold tho office but one term, and the strong rensons ho gives therefor, seem {o rendor o publication of the sappressed single-term report aforesaid not innppropriate or im. proper at this tima, It will bo found on an- other page. On the 26th of Jenuary, 1875, Mr. Potren, of New York, roported from tho Judiciary Committao of tho lonss a joint resolution amending the Constitution which provided a single Presidential term of six years, Alr. J. D, Warp, M. C. from this city, moved to lay the resolution on the table, which was disagroed to,—yens, 08; nays, 140, Tho resolution then received 134 yeas against 104 nays, which not being two-thirds, it failed to pass, It was thought that President Grant's aspirations for n third term defeated it, nsn large number of Ropublicans voted agalust the resolution lest it might offend him, and thereby jeopardize thotonnre of their friends inoffice. Thoe *‘machine” waa against it. endn, it is the right of the peopla to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a now Govern- ment, laying ita foundation on such prinel. ples, and organizing its powers in such form, as to thom shall secm most likely to offect tholr safety and happiness.” This same power of amendmont is provided in all the Btata Conslitutions, But while the peoplo of the United States may, by the exercise of thelr constitutionnl power, change the whole form of the Governmont, and creats evon, if desired, a monarchy, there is not, under the doctrine of the Dartmonth Collego cass, pow- er anywhero to change, alter, or amend the charter of a horse.railway company or of n company to manufactnre and sell boots and shoes, While the people of Ilii. nois, and of each of the other States may alter their Constitutions, and change the wholo system of Inws, there is not power anywhere to amend the charter of a privato corporation. The whole peoplo of the Btate of one generation eannot even adopt a Con- stitation and prohibit ita amondmont or ro- peal, even for o term of years; but undoer tho decision in the Dartmouth Cdllege casa n bare majority in n Legislature may grant apecinl privileges andimmunitiesto a private corporation which are to remaln beyond the ronch of all human Governments. The doc- trine that ono Leogislature may bind all sub. Foquent ones, and may in the formof a special charter enact an irrepealable law, is & doctrino wholly ropulsive to the funda- mental principle of onr Governmont, that the people may at any timo change, alter, or abolish any law or Constitation. Moreover, the power of Government is not capable of being nlienated or sunihilated. No part of thefunctions of Government or the sover- elgnty of the Stato can bo coded away, No lnw can bo enacted without the consent of the governed, nor ean thera bo n law which the governed may not repeal. Tho decisons in the Granger cases have not boen made too soon. They are the pro- liminary step to the uprooting of the doc. trine that temporary Legislaturcs may enact irropenlable or unalterable laws to bind peo- ples nnd Btates indofinitely. Theso decisions indicato that the reign of chartored monop- olies has reached its end, and that wo are approaching a recognition of the inalienabili. ty of tho political or governmental powers of tho Btate, The suoner this recognition is made, the botter for the corporations and for tho Government. It will cheapon special franchises; it will take from Governments tho corrupting inducements to grant per- petunl privileges. Spocial chartora that must always bo subject to legislative control will not command the exponditure whioh here- tofore bas attonded their ennctment, Gov- ernmentn will retain their powors intact, governing and controlling corporations and individuals,‘and corporato as well as individ- ual properties, by the same laws, founded on tho same principlos, in jnstica to all, and with special privileges to nono. To the ex- tont that the Granger cases have been instru- mental in leading up to the overthrow of the exiremo doctrino assorted in the Dartmouth College cnso, they may bo considered o national benofnction. PEER OR VASSAL1Y 2 The question which J. Mapisoy Werzs ad- dressed to Duprey Frreep, Troew's lawyer, and which has now passed into the political history of the country—'* Am I a peerora vasanl 2”—might be appropriately repeated by President Havea in his controversy with the machine politiclans, His struggle for his rights involvos all of this, and he must make the fight 7ot for his whole Adminis- tration. To yield at this point will be to part with hisprerogative, and to exeludo him. self for the whole term from the power of enarrying out the pledgesand promises of tho party platform, of his letter of accoptance, and his insugural oddress, Thero is no doubt in the world that the machine men no- cepted all thoso pledges in n Pickwickian sense. They looked uponthem as mero gen- eralizations, springes to catoh woodcocks, deceptions to hoodwink the innocent and deludo tho liberal and patriotic men of the party who were disposed to abandon tho machine. It is equally certain that Ar. Haxes meaant every word he said. Horo is the issuo: The machine men insisi that their construction shall be ndopted and the proposed decoption carried out; so far, Presidont Hares hay insisted that his con- struction and intention bo respected and that {aith be kopt with the people. ‘Tho critical period of the controversy is at its vory beginning. If the machine can so for nasert itastrength ns to pravent the Pres- ident from solocting us own Cabinet nd- viscrs, then he becomes inevitably a victim of the machine, and he will naver be ablo to escape from ils toils. The objection of the mochine to men like Evants, Scionz, and Kex is not based upon any nllegation of un- fitness, but on the ground that thoy will not submit to Congressional dictatlon in the dis- tribntion of the Govornment patronnge. Thoy are in favor of the conciliatory policy at the Bonth,and of the reform of tho Civil Bervico thronghout tho entire country. Thoy aro not the kind of men tho machine enn use, Their rejection, then, necessarily implies the intention to coerce the Prosident to call sbout him ns his counselors nnd chiefs of Dopartments men who will do the bidding of the machine, for the appointment of other men like Evants, Sonunz, nnd Ker' wonld encounter jnst aa flerce opposition. It is necessary, thereforo, for President Ilayzato maintain the position ho has taken at the outsot, if ho hopes to attain it at any time, To yield to bulldozing now will neceasarily mako hiin A vassal during the fonr yoars when he onght to govern, He will not even bo n poer, for tho precedent will havo been eatablished that will enable Congress to dle- tato mew terms atany point. Ho will bu. coms a mere registry clerk to rocord the ap- pointmenta of Benators and Members, and write out for his Cabinet tho policy which the machiue shall vutline for him, ‘The country will watch with intense intor- est the result of this preliminary straggle be- tween tho uew Presidont and the old ma- ching, s indicating with reasonnblo cortainty the position which President Haxyes is des- tined to ocoupy in the present Administra- tion, Ithas boen sald that ho has not the atrongth of characler to resist formidable pressure, and his Lest friends have denled it. It Lna been said that he will not be equal to the potioy which he mapped oat in the quiet of his home, nor dare to intrust his Administration in the hands of the conserva. tive men whomn he would by preference call nbout him, sud hisbest friands havedenied it. Now ia the hour of trial. Retreat or undue concession ¢ thls timd will leave him weak- erthan he was bofore, whils the wachine will be stronger than ever. Buccess mow will make resistance in the future the easier, and Insure a complete triumph in the end. —— THE GRANGER CASES—THE LEGAL REVO- LUTION. The Constitution of the United States pro- vides that “‘no Stato shall . . . pasanny bill of attainder, ev port facto law, or law impairing tho obligation of contracts,” and one of the ablest jurists of the country, writing of this clause, says ** that though ita grent importanco is assumed, it iscvident that the writer ad no concoption of the prominence it was aftorwards to holdin con. stitutional discussions, or of the very numer- ous cases to which it waa to be applied in practice.” This clause, which was perhaps intended merely to prohibit personal or gov. ernmontal ropudintion and dishonesty, has boen for half a century the declared protec- tion of a vast amonnt of frnud and chican- ery. Tho Supreme Court of the United Btates in the Dartmouth Colloge oaso authori- tatively expounded this provision of the Coustintion to meau that the charters grant. ed to private corporations for private benefit or purposes of the corporators aro contracts bolwesn the Legislature and the corporators, aud tho grant of the franchise canuod bo ro- sumed by the Legislaturo, or its benefits dic minished or impaired, without the consent of the grantecs, unless the right to do 5o I ro- sorved in the charter itself, Under this de- cision, of course, It follows that one Legls- laturo may forever bind its successors, and tho people of tho Btato are left without the pover of rodress, altoration, or repeal. The doctrine of that decision haa been afiirmed, of course, in every Btate of the Union, and has been aflirniod by the Bupreme Court over since, Under it the most shamoless and scandnlous' abuses of legislative power hiave been practiced, and in many Btates tho enactmont of special chartors for private corporations have comprised the bulk of the business of Legislatures, Under this de. cislon, apecial privileges and monopolies havo beon granted and croated by tho om- ployment notorlously of corruption, and it has more than once happened that legisla- tive action has beon coutrolled and dircctod by the expenditure of money, Legislatures racrificing the publio interests for thoso of privato corporations, Almost every State has n history of this kind, The recent decision of the SBupreme Court of tho United Btates in what nre known as the Granger ¢ases secms to promise a break- ing down of tha extremo doctrine of veated rights,. asserted. fn the Dartmouth Collego cnso, of corporations, Theso decisions hold that the chartors of even private corporations aro still eubordinate to the political or governmental power of the States. The ail. road corporntions hold chartors authorizing them to build, construct, and operats rall- ways, and to establish from time to time such vates for the transportation of pas- sengers and of merchandiso as they might deom proper. o far aa language conld con- voy the power, they had the vestod and ex- clusive rights to regulate their charges, and to collect them at their own will, Tho core porations were rocognized and created by law asprivate property, heldforthe profit and ben. efit of tho corporators, and yob the Supromo Court, at tho presont term, has decided In n series of cases, coveriug a variely of clroum. stances cxisting under tho varled laws of soveral Btates, that thio Legislaturo of each State had the power by law to classity rail. roed corporations, and to prescribe for each class of roads a maximum rate of compensa. tion for the tramsportation of freight snd passougers. In tho light of the Dartmonth College caso, theno decislons show a whole. some and important revision of the doctrine of vested rights, 'I'he act of incorporation is nolongera fluality, and the doctrine that be. cause two or Lalf ndozen personsay be asso- ciated together by act of Legislature to carry on busiuess for their private bencfit they sball therefore enjoy immunities and exemp- tlous from the powers of Government which are donied to other porsons, is no longer the imnpreguablo Jaw which it has Lerelofore been, Bivox Cauznoy s making whatever oppo- sition he can to the confirmation of the Pres- idont’s Cabinot solcotions, His motives are woll underatootl. e wanted his son Dox rotained asBecrotary of War, nnd, becauso he is not kept in, the old man is behaving inn very contemptiblo and dishonorablo manner for o Sountor who calls himself a Republican, Dox CasenoN has boon a good Secretary of ‘War,—ono of thabest that hias held the office for a long time; but how could the President rataln him and drop the others? If he kopt Doy Caxenon, would he not be morally bound to lot all the rest romain? How conld he disponso with the sorvices of Fism, Cuanpres, Tyses, Tarr, or Monnmwy, without' giving offenss to them and their frionda? = All tha Becrotarios tondered their rodlgoations, Tho President merely nccopte od them; he did not remove any nor ask any.one for his resignation, Bruox Cam- xroN has boon the political dictator of Penn- sylvania for many years. Huundreds, per- haps thousands, of his appointeos aro hold. ing ofice in Ponnsylvanin, inWashington, nnd olsowhore. ITo is cortaiuly not taking a courae bost calculated to make the President fool very friendly or grateful towards him, But perhaps somo nllowanco ought to be mudo for the solish wenknoss sud norvous potulance of senility, for he is a frail old man, nearly 80 years of ago, Tho mnchine politiclans, it seems, con. strued President Haves' lettor of acceptance in a Pickwlckian sousg; the reform pledgo in the Cincinnati platform thoy regarded as merely glitlering genoralities, not intended to bo reduced to practice, and they refuso to bollave that IIaves ‘was In enrnest in tho “reform " doclarations ho uttored in his in. augural message; but, whother in earnest or not, thoy are doterminoed hio shall' not carry them into practice in a way to interfere with thelr systom of dispensing pntronsge and distributing the spoila to their favorites and parasites.
