It is claimed by tho *gbeolutists” that, if there wero more monoy created, there would be more in oir- culntion, enabling men to hire mora labor, and moro value in wages.

QGraxt's earcer has dif- fered from Disnarty's at almost every poidt; while the latter is the smbodiment of modern English ambition, the former s the most striking exomplar of American mothods. GraNT's origin and early life wore comparn- tively obsenro. There waa nothing in all his carcer up to thoe broaking out of the Ameri- can ‘War of the Rebellion that would | orrost passing attention. He was a quiet, reticont, wayfaring man, who : had nover enjoyod greater oduentional advantagea than ‘West Point affords, who soomed to have for- gotten what ho loarnod thero, who had hived on tho Plains for a time as an army oflicer, and who had relapsed into the most uninter- esting, hum«Irum sort of oxistonce in a small intorior town. But it was this man who hocame the genius of tho War, tho Gon- cral who never know whon he was whipped, the finnl conqueror of the robellious armies, the most conspicuons fignre among. tho saviors of tho Union, and the mort familinr name’ throughont tho world in connoction with the proservation of tho American Re- pnblic nnd tho destruction of slavery on the American Contjuont, There have boon no other ovents within tha lifo of our present groat men that conld impart so much glory to any onoof them ns the successful issue of the Ameriean War, fought for the mainte- nance and progress of human righta, gavo to Grant. 'This is the sccrot of his pro-omi- nence now, so vividly marked by his recep- tion nbroad; Dissaerr nover enjoyed such an opportunity, howover he wright or might not have improved it.

E A JUDICIAL FAROE In S0UTH CAROLINA. “Tho caso of the Bouth Carolina * moon. shinor,” Lewis R. Rupmoxp, to which fre. idens of justico that prevail in some parts of tho Bonth, Repxoxp originally was an il. licit distsller in North Carclina. When tha. hitn for violation of tho Revenno lawa ho Houth Carolinn. 'The Governor of North Caroling offered a reward for his arrest, and crimes subsequontly committod. On the 9th of Mnrch Inat threo {llicit distillers wore ar. rostod and comumitted to jail in Pickens. Sheriff refused to make any cffort to arrest Izoamoxp and his gang; on the other hand, pursuit, ns there would be bloodshed. Com- missioner Ravw, mesnwhilo, had orgunized & force to pursuo Repsonp, but was induced by tha Governor to wait until tho Circuit Conrt of Plckens County should meet und a Grpnd Jury be appointed. Meanwhile, the pooplo of Pickens County, who were fu full sympothy with Remsiono snd his {llicit operatiofs, placed overy obataclo in the way of the revenuo offcials, and the county authorities and courts added their offorts tor those of the peopls to sid the illiclt dis tillors. At tho appointed time the Court met oud 8 jury was impaneled, tho presiding Judge being ene Maokxy, a local Dogberry, who to his consummatoe ignorance added n degreo of andacity and dishonosty which it would not b falr to charge upon the original Digberry, He had bofore him the case of a noted criminal who hod repeatedly violated both Btate and national faws, who had boen indicted for murder, who hLad released Uuited Btates prisoners logally arrestod, who had Leen defruuding the revenue, who had ralded rovenuo officers, aml upon whoso head two States had st a price, This would seom to bo an importaut case even for such an emivent jurist as Maicxzy, Ilow Le wrestled with it is shown by his roport of Murch 21 to the Goveruor. 1o says ot the outset: ' On wy arrival hore Jast Sunday, I ascortalned, after dua inquiry, that tho outlaw, Lxwiy it. Kene 08D, hid practically orgsnized a reign of lerror 1uroughout the county, which was fast paralyxin; tue manbood of (L best citixonship, Who onmEvu that by gud pls armed baud of reckicaa fullowers were stunding day by day in opeu detance of the faws of the State and of the Unitud States. , .

Now, iu such a situation as this, when an entaro people were fu ** the suprewe urisis of their fate,” what did Maczzy do? How did Lo strike 8t *‘the ceutral and supporting figuro of tho combination™? After consjd- erable trouble, ke induced the jury to over- look all his crfmes sguinst the Btate aud the United States, aud to indiet Rxpsoxp for stealing two uvercoats, ono of the jurymen being an ally of Reosonn’s. The warrant for his'asrest was placed in the hands of the Bberif, who summoned & posss of 150, lueluding the * Humpton Home Guard.” Th courte must, therefors, enforce its provisions The to Repwoxp that chargod.” Having thus thrown a cloak of protection over the criminals by nllowing the main scoundrel o escape, and assuring tho others they should not bo disturbed, ho sots tho Grand Jury to work in another direction. In » postscript to his roport to Gov, Haxp. ToN, he says: “Ths Grand Jury have indicted Jfive of the revenus officers and Deputy Mar- shals for commitling nggravated asssults and | They will be tried ns soon as thoy can bo appro- hended.” The unoffending citizons wore tha batteries upon unoffending oitizens. thrco mon who had been arrested for open violation of the law, and had beon rolonsed by Rzpaoxp, Bubsequently four more rov- onuo officors were arrcsted and thrown into Jail upon an indictment for murder, because thoy had killed a violator of the Iaws in self- defonse when aceking to arrest him, This is the condition of justice in South Caroling, where courts protect those who havo violated' Btate laws and dofy tho jurisdiction of tho national authoritios over eases involving a violation of Unitod Blates laws. The Government of the Unitod States is held at deflance by an impudent trickstor and corrupt rascal, backed upeby tho Governor of the Btate, and to-day tho Cabinet is in a quandary what to do. Maving laws, it is nocessary they should bo onforcod, and violstors of them should be punished. If any portion of the army were sont thero with instructions to srrest theso scoundrols, weshould henr no end of howling from tho Demoarats about military tyranoy and invasion of popular rights. Inasmuch, however, 08 thero ia no other way in which tho ltovenuo laws can be onforcod, the ofli- cinls being indicted and fnprisoned every time thoy sock to perform their dutles, it is evident that somo superior force ought to be usod.

Tho work of reconstruction in South Carolina has ovidently Loen badly botched, nnd Gov.

Judge Loouts, of tho Connty Court, has overrnled the objections flled by Erutorr Axtony, Esq., ngainat tha collection of cor- tain Hydo Park taxes. The main poiuts woro two, viz.: (1) Tho objection that Hydo Park, as a villagu organized undor the Gen- oral Incorporation nct, has no authority to mnintain n sepamato system of tax-nAsoss. ments and collections, but muat surrender these funotions into tho liands of the town and county officlals; and () thnt the SBouth Park dobt and the Hydo Park dobt (amonnt- ing in the sggrogato to %2,215,000) consti- tute o lyds Park debt, incurred in part bLoyond the coustitutional limit of 5 per cent, and to that extent unlawful. In rogard to the firat objeation, Judgo Looaus takes tha samo position ho assumod in the matter of the Chicago Bchool-Board, holding that o city or a village can determine for itaolf what a ocorporato purpase s, henco poy o Villago Assessor and Collector, in addition to the town and county officors, it thought to be necessary by tho village af- ficors. plied that Hydo Park certainly has no nced of any soparato sot of tax-officlals any more than Chicago has. The sccond point scoms to bo ono of great oonfusion and sorious doubt. Judge Looxus holds that Iiyde Park ond the Houth Park Board are two soparate and distinct corporations, that nelther is liable for tho iudubtednoss incurred by the other, and that the villago might havo suf. ficiont dobt to bankrupt it, and yot the South Park DBoard could continuo to lovy taxes till the 5 per cent limit should be reached in ita own individual caso, ‘The practical effoct of this construction of tho constitutional limi- tation 1s to onabloe tho Legislature to set up numevous distinet corporations, ‘whicli may issuo bondsto the amount of & per contof the valuation on the same property, thus mortgeging it finally, perhiapy, to the full awount of its value. of the Constitution Is that ‘“No oounty, ond that Hyde Park can seppoint and To thisit might bo practically re. each of The languago city, township, school district, or otlier munlcipal corporatiom shall be nllowed to become indebted in any mauner, or for any purpose, to an amount, Including existing indobtedness, in the uggregate excocding & per centutn on the value of the taxable prop- orty therein,” Tho construction will turn mainly, we fancy, on the words in {talics. Mr. Axruony cited a decision of tho Bupreme Court, vonstruing this oconstitutional provis- {on, in which thoe followinyg language ocours: This prohilition Nmita the power of the Gionerl Asseinbly. the municipality, and il others in the creation of indebtodness by wuch bodivs to the aumount named, and they cannol, vither sepurately or canjointly, transcenis that Ligid, 1L w the come mand of tho suprowe power of the Staty, snd must Lo obeyud, Nor is there Jodged fu our foroy of goverument apy authority o dlepense with ite proviswns or requiruments, but 1o thewm sli, whether officers or ueople, must yleld obudience. and requirenients 84 tley are found, Itisa question whother or nob Judge Looys' construction is at variance with the words in italics in the above extract from the oplufon of the Bupromo Court. Mr. Ax. TitoNy quoted from the act of tho Legisla- turo nuthorizing the issue of park bonds, which prescribes that the Towns of Hyde Lurk, Luke, and South Ohicago shall bo * frrovocably bound,” sa well as the park lunds and improvements, for the paywment of tho debt they represent. From this it would appear that these bonds are oertaidly a lien on the Hyde Park property, and tho quos- tion, then, is whether the same property can be wortgeged over aud over again under the authority of difforent corporations of Hyde Park, orcoted within the same limits, in the face of the constitutional 5 per cent limita- tion a4 it stands. Before the controversy can be setiled it will be necessary to securs @ more explicit decision from the Bupreme Coust, and this Mr, ANTRONY'S case msy be the means of producing. Col. G. L.
