i a State may exercise fe oon militia is derived from Constitution of the United States. TheStates always assumed to control their militia, is simply a means of self-protection. States are forbidden fo keep, ps in of what Saale order, and to enforce the laws in she States, unless it is organized?

In reply to the principal argument made he other branch of the case under consbraton, that the Hlinois Militia act is REPGSAIT TO THE LAWS OF CONGRESS, *ne Cartiviews the enactment, section by Seetion atdays that wherein it is repugnant ig 20%s0 wparent. The Court states its Miewotriely n some of the most important rOvisins regulations found in the State law whith te ower Court insisted conflicted. with the of gress, and for that reasé) ‘endered the whole act inoperative ‘at yoid: “First, the jugnances’ Yeged to exist are alte ‘be founiseee sections which relate to the o: iZHo.of the State militias when organized for Satyyrposes, and not to those sections which Me to the entire body of the militia, nor to 1 militia when called into the service of United States. Sec- ond, the acts of Conjess preserbe essential- ly different reeulatio: for the uganization of the United States 1itfa whencalled into actual service, and forhe organzation for training under State atjority. Many of the jatter_seem to be ot directoy, while _ al appears to be mandatory. Third, hile of in actual service the act oust provdes the militia of each State shal be arrang:d into divisions,. brigedes, and regiment bat- talions and coxipanies, as th Pegislatires of the States vray direct. Fouth, non-esential differences in the regulationsas to the rilitia not in the actual service of he Unioncon- tained in the State law with acs of Conress will not, under the former be vaid. Its no valid objection to this act of the Nepisiture that it does not require the entire mili: of the State to be enrolled as active mitia. Counsel do not wish to be understod as claiming that no militia Jaw is valid umss it provides that each and every male inhb- itant of the specihed age should be at 1) times armed and equipped and engaged drilling and maneuvering, but the suggestig made is that the preference of military sery ice in times of peace ‘ CANNOT BE LEGALLY CONFINED TOA SELECT COEPS, 1 consi: of a limited number of voluntee: to the exclusion of all other able-bodied male residents of the State. The argument ad-' mits of several conclusive answers. First, it is a matter dependent on the wisdom of Congress when it will provide for arming and disciplining the entire body of the militia of the United States, Second, the citizen is not entitled unter any law, State or wederal to demand as.a matter of Hebt. that arms shall be placed ia his hands. Third, it is with the legislative judgment as to what number the actual militia of the State shall consist of, depen on the exi- gency that makes such organization nocesra- y. Numerous minor repugnancies, itis in- sisted, exist in the State law with the acts ft Congress, among which it is said the jaw fixes the numerical strength of a eompany ata number different from the act ot Congress in respect to the number of men that shall compose a company. The lan- Euage of the United States law is: ‘Each company may consist of sixty-four privates,’ but it is not madeimperstive. Thesamemay be said as to the omission in the State law to provide for the appointment of aMajor-Gen- eral. Such an officer might find no’ appro- Busts, Position in the actual militia of the tate. Upon the requisition of the Presi- dent a the State Executive for the militia for actnal service, it is made the duty of the Executive to organize the whole bof the militia, or such por- tion as the President may direct, in con- formity with thé acts of Congress. In that event, under the act of 1792, each company shall have from sixty-four to eighty-two privates. In the complete organization of the militia, such as the Executive of the State is authorized to make on the requisition of the President or otherwise, a Major-General ‘would bean appropriate and n officer. Another repugnancy is said to consist in substituting z LHE ORGANIZATION OF THE REGULAR ARMY for the militia. Exactly what counsel means or wishes us to understand by the use of the word *or zation,’ we may not compre- hend fully. If it is meant that it shall be the constitution of a regiment, batialion, or com- Bany under the State law, then it is not in conflict with the act of Congress of 1792, for it provides that that may be done as the Leg- islature of the State may direct; but, if the discipline and exercises to be enforced and observed in the State militia is meant, then it may be noted that the act of 1870 provides the system of discipline and field exercise which that is ordered be observed in the different corps of infantry, artillery, and riflemen of the regular army shall also be observed in such corps respectively of the militia. There {sno repugnancy between the act of Con- gress and the State law in this respect, but EHERE 139 ANOTHER VIEW THAT MAY BE TAKEN. The act of Congrees provides that the milltia when called to the actual service of the United States shail be subject to the same rules and articles of wear as the regular troops of the United States. The active militia of the State is simply a reserve force that the Executive is authorized by the Con- stitution to call to his aid in case of a sudden emergency to execute the Jaws, suppress in- surrection, and repel invasion, and it is most probable it was the design of the General As- sembly to make the National Guard’s organi- zation, equipment, and discipline the same as the militia when in the actual service of the United States as being the most effective. In either view, no such repugnance is perreived between the State and Federal legislation in eh respect as would render the former in- AN OBJECTION BROADER IX ITS SCOPE than either of those noted is referred to and discnssed by the Court—namely: that the act- ive militia organized under the statutecomes within the prohibition of the second clause : S ‘ and: best interests of the people ofthe authority of Congress.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, » Prrrssune, Pa., Feb. 7.—A serious break occurred to-day in the ranks of the striking coal-miners. Ata meeting held at Walker’s Mills, on the Pan-Handle Railroad, a large number of diggers agreed to ctit Iodse from the strikers and go to work on Monday or Tuesday at the old rates,—three and a half cents, Information is also to the effect that Secretary Jones has made his headquarters at Mansfield, and is doing what he can to stem the tide that is so strongly setting against him and other ultra supporters’ of four cents or no Work. Other ‘railroad _ miners will hold a meeting on donday, when action similar to that of the Pan Hand/e men 1s anticipated. It is now almost certain that all’ the pits will be in operation before the end of next week. This morning a conference of coke manu- facturers was held with Mr. Rosenberg, the representative of the firm of Peter Wrizht & Co., who proposed to fill the places of the striking operatives with Belgians, who would vay their own way to the mines. The result of the conference wds an agreement to em= psy 500 Belgians, who agree to work for less than. ie present wages, and who will vring their families with them and pay all expenses. They are prepared to contract for oneyear or more. The strikers are con- fident that as soon as the foreigners acquirea correct urderstanding they will come over to their side. “Every attempt hitherto nade to introduce feign labor in coal-digging or coke-burningin this part of. the State has only increaset the difliculty, and the same re- sulf is looked hor in tlie case of the Belgians. ey PETANOIS MUINERS. ~~" spectal Dispatch to~rhe Chicago Tribune, ° Sr. Louis, Feb. 7—The coal-miners of the Belleville (Iil.) district gathered in hundreds at their usual rendezvous, the Eight-Mile Stone, as itis called, and tebated sharply a rule of-the Miners’ Union that no miner shall dig more than fifty bushels. The aver- age which a good man can make is 100 bushels. In this way all the men can get work, but the process of production is much hampered. There are hot enough miners, especially in the southern part .of St. Clair County, to make two shifts of workmen, and hence only onehalf as much Jabor is employed as the operators could use.

Adams it would be thirteen days before his return, Chief Shavaux has expressed a willingness to accompany the General to Washington. He is known as “The War Chief” of the Utes, but of late years he has settled down to farming, and last summer sold a load of provisions of his own raising,— the first ever offered in the Ouray market by an Indian since this Agency was establishéd. He favors Schurz’s policy, that the Utes must settle on farms and goto work. He will be of great assistance in settling the present difficulties, : * Orders have been sent out by Chief Sapo- raney for all the different bands to rendezvous niear the Agency, and a grand powwow must be expected next week. Matters have been delayed very considerably by the press an- nouncing the proposed trip of Gen; Adams, which Secretary Schurz attempted to’ keep secret.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasuineroy, D. C., Feb. 7.—The result of the second day of.the District Republican Convention is the choice of Sayles: Bowen and John T. Cook. to be delegates to the Chicago Convention. Mr. Bowen is an old citizen of Washington, and during the period of the Washington City Government he was Mayor more than once. Mr. Qookis a col- ored man, and is at present Collector of Water Rates. A full list of the nominations includes the following-named gentlemen: S. J. Bowen, Blaine; John T. Cook, Grant; Fred Douglass, Sr., and Fred Douglass, Jr., Dr. C. B. Purvis, A. M. Clapp, Grant; R. G. Ingersoll, Blaine: 8, 8. Smoot, Sherman; and Dr. William Tyndall. t After the first ballot the names of the two Dougiasses and Tyndall were withdrawn. During the first and second ballots the en- thusiasm for Ingersoll was immense, but his following afterward wext OVER TO BOWEN and Cook. Purvis also had a fair chance at the beginning. Clapp, who was regarded as the champion of the District suffragists, re- ceived only 11 votes on the first and 19 on the second ballot, His defeat is acknowl- edged to be the death of the pres- ent suffrage movement -here’ The pro- eeedings of the ‘Convention to-day were extraordinary. ‘At ‘noon there was a motley crowd in and about the Association Hall, on .the south side of Pennsylvania avenue, neat Seventh street. Fully three- fourths of this crowd was composed of the riff-raff of colored loafers about town. It soon became evident that the floor of Associ- ation Hall was unsafe, and Maj. Richards, the fem porary, Chairman, was heard to say that be would be willing to give $50 to be out of that. The next thing was to “Tore 4 HALL,” and fnlly two hours were consumed in making up_a purse of $50 to hire Lincoln Hall for the purpose. At 2 o’clock the doors were thrown open. and the unsavory crowd rushed in. ‘Tken followed a scene of the wildest disdder, ! Every colored delegate present was an orato1, and at least twenty of them wanted to address the Chairman at one and the same tithe. There were great efforts at parliamentary style. The real business of choosing the delegatés was not reached until Jate in the afternoon, The nominations were preceded by fiery and ungrammatical speeches. One of the most prominent of these untaught orators, was the Rev, Dr. Laws, who spoke atzreat length aginst the claims of Col. R. G, Ingersoll; who, he said, denied the Lord. He 3 SPOKE FOR A CHHISTIAN CONSTITUENCY, and he hoped hiswords would go out toa Ohristian country; He was sure that Mr. Ingersoll didn’t live inthe fear of the Lord. One young orator, among other reasons for general dissatisfaction with everybody and everything, said: “We_is tired of diabolical deniagogeries.” Mr. Laws, who nominated Dr. Purvis, colored, called bim a “‘stanch, starling, Republiking.” The Convention towards the close became very unmanageable.. Complaint was made that Dr. Purvis and others of the candidates were in the Convention lobbying and Taising a disturbance,and an order wasactually made to eject these gentlemen from the body of the hall occupied by .the delegates. It is said the Smoot men were bought up in Sher- man’s interest, and the signal failure of that gentleman to make any show is claimed as an evidence of Sherman’s weakness and un- popularity here. 7 Bowen staid in the Convention, and la- bored for his own. election to the last mo- ment, always a conspicuous figure by his white hair and beard. The question of : RE-ESTABLISHING SUFFRAGE in this District, which for some five years has been disfranchised, was really one of the issues of the local compaign which has just ended, A movement was to have been inan- gurated to ask Congress to restore suffrage, o abol.sh the Commissioners, and to give to the Distiict. a popular form of government. ‘The senst of the better class of citizens, and of nearly all of the taxpayers on this subject is undoubtejiy represented by the following article in the Star of this evening: i ‘The disgrndfnl scenes of the late primary meetings and a\the Convention yesterday have served a wholestaje purpose inilinstrating what a sturdy manbod sui is like in this Dis- trict, In no other yay could it be demonstrated so well why our tioughtful, order-loving citt- zens have such an atersion to the project to re- een inclined to Niffrage a ing for this District have been Skened setae expert: ences. z ‘The Post, which has httetofore advocated suffrage, says to-day: es .

YESTERDAY'S TESTIMONY. Wasurseron, D. C., Feb. 7.—Before the Senate Exodas Committee to-day Leonard G. A. Hackney, Prosecuting Attorney forthe district in which Shelbyville, Ind., where he lives, 18 f6cated, testified that twenty-six col- ored emigrants arrived at Shelbyville Dec. 12 last.. The Mayor called a meeting “of the Council, and provision was made for the des- titute, _These men are still scattered in or about the town. Witnéss had heard of two or three other companies coming near Shelbyville. The county is Democratic, but the Congres- sional District ig doubtful] and very close. A’ meeting of citizens was held, at which it was resolved that the law of 1852, inflicting 4 pen- alty of .€500 upon any one who should bring a pauper into the State, should be enforced by the proper officers. Witness learned from @ negro named Flowers, and a Mr. Harper, there were to be 12,000 on 15,000 NEGROES sent into Indiana before the ist of February. Flowers was, there to investigate the allega- tions that a mob had attacked the negroes. Witness had seen the allegéd mob. It was a meeting of fifteen ot twenty men to consider the expediency of going to the depot to see if a train-load of negroes was coming to Shelby- ville. ‘There is no doubt thatall the Demo- erats dislike to see emigrants come, and probably the most respectable Republicans do also. The laboring class-generally dis- countenances the movement.’ The demand for labor in Shelby County 1s fully supplied. There is even complaint of scartity.of work. Cross-examined by Mr: Windom: The meet- ing or mob referred:to was not’ composed of yery responsible men,—a lot of hoodlums. ‘They were going to the trait to téll “the damned niggers they couldn’t stop there.” Witness did not feel called on as Prosecuting Attorney-to interfere. He-theght the ne- exoes were being brought ta Indiana Zor litical purposes by the Republicans, but Formed this ‘Tpinion more upon. general re- port than personal knowledge. - 2 P : MILTON M. HOLLAND, fe: member of 4 Washington Emigtant Aid So- ciety, testified that its objéct was solely cltar- itable, not to promote emigration, but to aid emigrants, ‘o political purpose was con- nected with it. On their request about sixty emigrants were sent to Ohio instead of Kan- sas. The society has no agents whatever. So far from the movement being Republican, the Society felt very hard towards the Re- publicans because they had not contributed much money. He criticised the action of two Cabinet officers, who had subscribed $50each to the Irish relief fund and nothing to aid the colored emigrants. Witness is a clerk in a Government Department. . SAMUEL A. PERRY, adark mulatto, testified. ToMr.Windom—He is a resident of North Carolina. In 187 the negroes began to receive pamplilets from a man in Omaha, detailing the cheapness of lands in that vicinity, and some talk was had about forming a ¢olony to emigrate West,but it died out. 1876 the matter was revived, but died out again.. But lately there had beeninuch distress among the negroes, chiefly on account of poor crops, and severity of the landlord and tenant and’ other Jnws. One hundred negros fot together and endéavored to get some Northern capitalists to help them emigrate. There was . : No Thovent oF AN Exobu! ‘They forwarded a petition to the National Emigration Aid Society, setting forth these facts. Perry and aman named Williams, as agents, were sent West to look for a suitable Jocation, their expenses being pat by the colony. * They: finally reached Green- castle, where some colored men _ told them they could do well in Indiana. They ot out a lot of circulars favoring inimigra- ‘ion to Indiana, arid went back to North Carolina, At a camp-meetitig they distrib- uted these circulars. The ‘Road law” of North Carolina has had a bad effect on the colored people. Negroes in North Carolina complain of injustice inthe courts. There are two grades of negroes. Some have white friends and can get justice. Northern men wlio had settled in Notth Carolina had been driven out by bad treatment. The ne- groes noticed this, because they considered esé men their friends, -All the offices had heen taken away from the negroes. There ‘was one magistrate now in office who openly stated that he thought the negro was no more a human, being than 8 horse was & mule. Democrats told witness this was A WHITE MAN’S GOVERNMENT, and no negro ought to take part in it Tho negroes think they have been cheated out of representation, and can do better by going to some Territory, away by themselves. They think, if the mocrats regain full power, the old state of things will return. Cross-examined-by Mr. Voorhees: Was a slave before the War to as_good a manas ever lived, nained Perry.

If the in- dustrial and financial condition of, negroes‘ was- a3 good in Indiana as elsewhere, witness would like _to see enough negroes sent there to “revolutionize things, politically,” but he didnot heara word about political intrigues when he was in In- diana. He consorted most with Republicans,. but so he did at home. It was most natural for him to do s0, Witness deelared that he was DONE WITH THE EXODUS. He was advising people to go back. To Mr. Vance—We think the Road law and other statutes have been made more severe on negroes than formerly. It is true, negroes pay but a minor portion of the taxes. to the Tenant laws, the objection was that no part of the crop could be removed unless the rent was paid. Under a Republican Goyern- ment Rare of the crop could be sold. Mr. Vance—It don’t bear hard on a man if he intends to ate his rent, does it? Witness—Well, there are cases wherea man ‘wants to raise a little money, and has to go to his landlord and give five days? notice be- foré he can sell any of thecrop.

If I was to go back to him today Tecouldn’t talk to him and express my opinion, Witness learned on returning to North Car- olina that a price was set on his head on ac- count of his connection with the exodus, but no one really harmed him.

STEEL RAILS.” Special Dupatch to The Chicago Tribune, _ Wasurxeton, D. C., Feb. 7.—Emery A. Storrs left here for Chicago to-niglit, the ar- gument on the proposition to reduce the tariff on steel rails having been concluded. There is much speculation as to the fate of the bill in the Committee. The advocates of the present tariff themselves even are not confi- dent that they will be able to prevent a reduc- tion of the tax. Their hopes of the defeat of the bill, on the contrary, seem to rest in the expectation that. there will be such a diversity of opinion in the Committee as to. the point to which the tar- iff shall be reduced that no action whatever will be taken, in which event the present law will. stand. There is not much doubt that a majority of the Committee will decide for a reduction, but it will scarcely be as lowas $10. ‘The indications. seem to_be that there may be acompromise on about S14. A decision is expected this week, ahd it may be that the decision will divide along party lines, GEN. GRANT. The Navy Department has ordered the United States steamer Powlhattan to leave Norfolk for Havana to convey Gen. Graiit to Mexico.

The Latest Bourbon New Départ- ure in South Carolina. A Proposition to “Fix” the State for ~ the Democratic Presidential Ticket, By Deliberately Disfranchising the Bulk of the Colored Voters. Ex-Congressman Rainey, of South Carolina, Entertained by the Massachusetts Olub. He Is Unreserved In His Opposition to Grant’s : * Nomination, =~ SOUTH CAROLINA. | Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasurvoroy, D. C., Feb. 7.—The secret of the special session of the South Carolina Legislature is discovered: There is now a movement’ in South Carolina the avowed purpose of which is to disfranchise the negro voters, and by State Iaw to nullify in effect the constitutional amendments. This move- ment is neither secret nor indirect, but is ad- vocated in the most influential quarters in. language which fs as vigorous as it is start- ling. The negro is to be disfranchised to civilize him, just as in the old days he was to be enslaved to Christian- ize him.. The policy does not .orig- inate with cross-roads politicians, but it is announced and upheld ‘in the most poten- tial quarter in which such a new departire could be- promulgated—namely,| in the Charleston News and Courier, which ar rived here to-night. The Courter discloses this policy by advocating a practically pro- scriptive registry law. and it begins to seem probable that the reason which has induced session of the South Carolina Legislature: is that this proscriptive act _ MAY BE IMMEDIATELY PASSED, so that the negro’ will not be a political factor in South Carolina in the Presidential cam- paign. The language of-this representative South Carolina organ clearly outlines this plan. The Courler says: ‘The Registration law is intended to be in oper- ation at the next general election, and this is the last chance of securing the protection it will give, and which can be obtained in no other way. 2s In describing the overthrow of the Repub- lican State Governmeut the Courier says: Bya eens effort the white people, the mi- hority, threw off thoyoke of the ignorant major- ity, and now have possession of every depart- ment of the Government. . . . Further on the Courier aclciowledzes that it is possible for the Republicans to carry South Carolina for a Republican President unless fthis proscriptive law Shall take the place of the bulldozer. It says: But the colored poople are still here. They are still the majority. nes can,on the cilor line, which is likewise the line of ignorance and prejudice, elect their candidates in 1880, as they elected them from 1868 to 1614. The votes are there to do it. With these facts before us, and starting with the assumption that it is the set- tled purpose In South Carolina that the intelli- gent and responsible citizens shall rule, whether they are nominally in the majority or not, what course shail the peopldof the State take to make themselves sufe and avoid the horrible strain of such elections as the last, with their uncer- tainties and manifold unpleasautnesses? There are three ways to meet the difficuity. The first igtoconvert enough of the colored people to the Democratic faith to give the Democrats a permanent majority. The second is to suppress a part of the colored vote. The third is to make intelligence in its rudimentary expression the basis of representation. With this bold assertion the representative Bourbon of the Sorth announces it to be the purpose of the white minority to_prevent outh Carolina from casting its Electoral vote for a Republican President by, DISFRANCHISING,THE NEGRO | | now, before electiou-day: The Courier pro- ceeds: ‘ And this statement shonld close the mouth of those who say the negro is becoming Democratic. Can the colored people be madé Democrats so that they will remain? We doubt it, and we say this with regret, inasmuch as, for many Yeurs, this paper labored faithfully to make Jemocrats of the colored people in the way and in thé benise in which white people are Democrats in the South. It is easy enough to make it to the interest of a colored man to vote the Democratic ticket at a particular elec- tion, but reasoning has nothing to do with it. ‘The fact that he votes the Democratic ticket to-day will not prevent him from voting the Republican ticket to-morrow. If he votes the Democratie ticket for years there is no cer- ‘The letter gives an interesting insight into -the political situation in New oe and it -al relations as not broken; that he prefers after Grant is out of the way, he prefers you tainty that he will vote it ut the next election. As surely as water secks its level the negro gravitates toward the Republican party! The Courier considers the question, “Can the colored vote be suppressed?” and an- swers: "The Stalwarts say that itcan be and is. We say that we are prepnred to do whht,the North- ern people would do in like mstanees. But we cannot live in comfort under the operation of revolutionary methods. ‘ ‘That is to say, it can be and has been, but a simple statute is A 5URER AND SAFER WAY than the method of the bulldozer, the rifle club, and the night rider. , ‘The Courter continues: What bas been done, the Stalwarts say, in violation of Jaw, can be done, we say, in accord- ance with law, and in such way as to command the nenaleecence and nats ment of Demos crats,—o: onest, 1) im! every part of the ‘Union eon mania A constitutional amendment would be too slow.

Ho claimed that th Republicans of the South are earnest ‘had! true, and if in the past they have from Wantof experience appeared not true and not firm to their convictions, they have now madg up their minds that, whatever the Republicans of the North shall do at Chicago, the ma they nominate will be the candidate of the Southern-States.. Quite a number of the Re publicans of the South are in favor of Grant as a candidate for the Presidency. The speaker said he had written to some of the most prominent politicians to ask the reason why they should be in favor of Ger. Grant—a inan who, when he went into power, found a Republican Con, a Republican South, and the better part of the Northern States Republican, When he went outof power there was nota single Republican State in the South, Congress was. Democratic, and the Northern States divided. He per” mitted the State. of Mississippi to go ou} of the hands of the Republicans; he crashed out the hopes of forty thousand people with one fell swoop. Gen. Grant, had he done his duty, would have made it apparent to people of the South that he intended to do is utmost to keep _the Republican party in. tact in the South. Under his Administration the Democratic party came into power, stand- ing in human blood, taking the place of loyal men, and claiming to be: the dictators of the country. These men made up their minds that what’ they could not gain b: fighting they would gain by legislation. fs nota majority rule in the South. It is the minority who are in power because they have the eda- cation, wealth, and intelligence. They hava all the machinery of the Government in their hands. They have the Judges on their side, and therefore contro! the Courts, and the Re publicans have by this means beendefranded inthe Southern States. They are not, how. ever, discouraged, but are firm and deter. mined to support whoever the North shall decide upon as the fittest candidate for the Presidency. “But,” said the speaker, “soy will find that we will not be able to riveln the South a single Electoral vote, not even thatot Florida, in the election that is to be held next fall. You will find that the Democrats will carry every Southern State. You may have a majority of the votes, but the Democrats will count you out.” CONGRESSMAN BRAGG’S VIEWS 0X THE POLITICAL SITUATION.’ At the Tremont House last evening was Congressman Edward 8.
