LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT.

Does It Depend in Any Manner Upm the Maintenance of State Eights? j ( Another Strong Paper From the Author ef Centralization," Recently Pub- j lished in tba , Sentinel. " ' : : ' ' " " To the Editor or the Sentinel: i s Sir The Chicago . Times, in. a recent Issue, relates-a part of a private conversation held with Senator Gordon, of Georgia, In which he said he proposed to do all he could to induce Southern senators and representatives to adopt the policy of silence upon the question . of State rights, giving as his reasons for so doing the fact of Northern distrust of Southern people, and the prevailing Northern idea . that "State rights" means secession. The senator further said: ' I believe thoroughly In . - the right of local self-government. I think ' the people of all sections believe in it, and tnat not one S:ale would surrender a s.nele right for which I would contend. Why i would not have It spoken of now, is because it is made equivalent to the dead and buried Issue of secession." Whereupon the Times, after an approval , Of the senator's resolution of silence, says: "There Is some manifest confusion In the sn- . ator's ralnd as to the meaning of the btate rights doctrine, which, he thiuss, the people everywhere believe," and, after assuring its . readers that the American people of all eec- ' tions, and even the E o eliau.- peaking race on every part of the globe, have a profound, thorough, and eminently p radical belief in the right of lccal self-government, goes on to define the difference between it ard State rights, and gives what the Times believes to be the Northern hit a of local self-government as follows: "There is no conflict or controversy, nor - ground for any, between Americans at the North and Americans at the South respecting the right to local seli-government. The only - eontroverey is with respect to its meaning. Southern politicians habitually employ ihe words 'local self-government' and State . rights,' as if each contained the meaning of the other. Northern men do not so understand them. The idea of the senator from Georgia Is tost local self government depends on the maintenance of rights pertaining to the particular corporations called - Staus, and that the destruction of the former would be involved In the destruction or modification o the latter. History does not so teach, and the Northern people do not so believe. As understood by them, local self-government is a content of the general polity of the American people. One of its best manifestations is In the self-governing township. The county organization is another manifestation of iu There are political corporations organized ander the general polity of society for the purposes of local self-government, and as such corporations derive their political rights from the general polity. The so-called States, also, are political corporations, organised under the general polity of the sovereign society for the purposeaof local self-government, and derive all their corporate po Ideal rights from the general polity of the nation. The fundamental difference between the righ's ot these political corporations and the rights of the general society, or nation. Is that the former are derived from, and are a manifestation ot, the sovereignly of the latter. This is what the North understands by local self-government. It Is not immanent In the corporation called a State, or the corporation called a county, or the corporation called a township, but only In the supreme organic people. In opposition to this supreme pe 'pie there Is no rignt of any of these subordinate corporations even to exist, and the nation may put them out of existence. But the right ol local self -government would not be destroyed by such abolition of the present local asencies for the nation, of whose polity it is a part, could (and, unless by some miracle the polity which Is an expression of the character of the race shold be changed, ' would) provide for its excerclse by other local agencies. .. Theie are few Northern men who do not believe as religiously as the senator saya he believes in the .right of local self-govern fluent; there are fewer Northern men who do not totally reject the senator's notion that local self-government Is a right Inherent in the particular corporation or group of people called a State. In the Northern view no political right is inherent iu any bat a sovereign society. All rights of local corporations, - or organized groups of that . society, are not inherent, but derivative rights delegated In trust by the whole to its local members, for local purposes." - In our humble judgmentthe above enunciation of the Times is both unsound and untrue unsound as a theory of local self-government and State rights, and untrue as pretending to be the prevai log idea entertained by Northern men concerning local self-government and btate rights. 10 our mind it present" a political heresy as . dangerous and startling as the doctrine of secession, and it it be true that a majority of Northern men do-In reality entertain the Times' notion upon this subject, then indeed have we abundant reason ' to despair of tne Republic. Reduced to plain English, the Times affirms the following propositions as the settled opinion of the Northern mind: 1. The States, like counties and townships, are only corporations organized by the Vhole people, or nation, for the purpose of local self-government. 2. All the rights of the States are derived from the nation, or the whole people of the ; Union. ' . 8. The States exist only by the grace of the nation, and may be modified or destroyed at Its pleasure. . 4. The destruction of the Stales would not necessarily involve -the destruction of the right of local stlf government, as it is probable the nation would provide for its exercise by other local agencies. We do not controvert the universally received opinion held by Americans that the people is the source of all power in our Gov-, eminent that ' with it resides entire sovereignty that it may abolish all constitutions, destroy all the States, all the counties, and all the townships; may cnange its enure lorm ot eoveremenu doing away, if It please. with the Republio, and establishing in its piaoe a monarcy, ougarcny, a meocracy or any other form, of government In Its pleasure. In its sovereign capacity it may do all this, and it this Is what the Times means, then we agree with' it.- Under this view of the matter. Secession IUWU WUUiU utcuuw legal, iue al uiu people ordained it, who would question or denvltsriehttodo the act? To' accomplish these results, however; without absolute war, there would have to be great changes wrought ' In the -constitution of the- Union,- brought about through the consent of the people ao- - cording to t he established mode of procedure. Bui this is not the question before us. The present question is what may lawfully be done under the existing constitution of the Union and tne several constitutions of the . States, and we understand toe Times to predi- -. cate Its propositions upon this view of the case, and not upon any abstract idea of that ultimate sovereignity of the people set forth , " in our Declaration oi Independence. The theory or the l imes and oi inose wno la vor an imperial or strong central govern- " ment is that States are mere political corpora- .. tions, like counties and townships, organized by the nation or the whole people, solely for the convenience of local self-government, and I like them destitute of any Inherent rights, 1; such as appertain to a sovereign and inde- ' pendent people; that all their rights are de'i rivatlve from the nation or Union; that the null nn if It. ehnflna ti tin mn. rimiv hnL thnm V-. So far as counties and townships are conI . eaemed, we know tner mar oe modified, ana even "put out of existence" by the States, for i they are the creatures of the States, over -. - which the latter bave control by their organ te - law. Bat where in tae constitution of the II n it Art Ht&Lea la the snthoritv thus to deal with a Stater Under the doctrine held by the .Times, Maine. New Hampshire and Vermont might be consolidated so as to make'ooly one State, thus excusing the services of four sens.'ton. Massachusetts. Rhode Island and UonaecUeut might be treated In the same manner. It mtatht suit Congress to wipe out New Jersey, Delaware . and Maryland, and give - h.m ta Pxniuvlwuta andt Virginia. Do the '. Northern peoplasubseribe to this notion of state ngniar - - .... - - But. save the Times. States are but local political corporations, and "all rights of local . corporations areno 'inherent, but derivative." Rat how aie the rights of the States derivaVtiveT Are they derived from the nation, the Union T This eon not be, for the States exist- ' ed before the Union;- There was a time In -oar history -when 'there w mn tin Inn: bnt the States were then in exUtet.ee, and exercising the power of government which wts Inherent In the people thereof ss independent sovereignties. The The Union whs born of the States and is junior tn them. How can the ancient be derived from the modern, the old" from the youngf The fast is.therktbta of the Union sre deiiva tive, and were derived from the people of the States 1 ta rough its free and voluntary grant od tniiiiiinsinnn, expiesut.il In the national eonstltnt los. That constitution is the limit of he nation's authority. Bvrlrtoeof that in strument, and tnat alone, doss the Union exist, and 'be granting of certain lights by the people to -tae Union for the purposes expressed in tLs eonsuttttlon aid not by an

means exhaust all the rights of the people and States, and the' residuum of those rights still remains Inherent In the States or the people.

The Tenth amendment to tne eonsuiauouot the United States declares that: " " T"The powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by It to the States, are reserved to the Slates respectively, or to the people." The constitution of the United States does not provide for local self-government, and has nothing todo with It. This Isone of the rights reserved to the States in severalty; not to the States collectively as a nation, or whole peo ple; a right, therelore, whicn is inherent in the people ol oach State, so that "State rights" and "local self-government." which latter is also State government, are, from their very natures, so strongly ana intimately uuitea that Ihey can not be separated without Imminent peril to society and the liberty of the citizen. So perfectly are they blended that we can not attack one without, at the same time, assaulting the other. Whenever any power unlawfully trenches upon the rights of the State, It necessarily threatens the stability and normal action of local self-government, impairs its proper functions, weakens Its Influence, and tends to destroy its general efficacy. No matter what' is ostensible motives and reasons may be, for the States are necessarily the natural and best guardians of the rights of their own citizens, and tne proper directors of their own polity, and may always be trusted, inasmuch as the people wno maae and -. execute their own laws will not be ant to betray and sacrlhoo themselves. The error of the Times consists not lu assert ing the sovereignty of the people or all the States collectively that is, of the whole nation hnt in denvlns anv inherent rights or sovereignty to the people of the individual States; thus stultifying that amendment to the constitation which declares that all rights not delegated to the United States in the con stitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or the people. ... Local se'f-eovernment to a certain extent, as manifested in townships and counties. Is by no means exclusively ptcullar to the Englishspeaking race, although that race in America has developed its possibilities for the welfare of society to a greater extent than any other people on the globe. Such, or similar civil divisions for local government were known on the continent at least ftM years before the time of Alfred, wno introduced them into England. Their characteristics, however, were more marked in the interest of local government than in the interest of local selfgovernment. Even Russia, the most despotlo government of Europe, has her communes, t her cantons and volosta, corresponding to our - -villages, townships and counties. At one time the empire was divided into a great number of principalities, at the head oteach of which stood a prince elected by the people, and subject to a constant control of the National Assembly, Then these communes, cantons and volosts enjoyed an almost unlimited self government In all local affairs. All this ha been changed; czardora, which Is only another name for centralization, breathed upon these germs of political development end liberty, and they either died or shriveled Into powerless, Insignificance, and now Nihilism, through secret conspiracies, murder, arson, and assassination, is seeking 10 Vanarchize" that empire, hoping that from the ashes of a great political conflagration may arise the Puoenlx of the lost freedom of the people. France paid In oceans of her richest blood for the unjust encroachments of central authority, and Spain still sleeps in that torpor which. In part, is the result of the same malign Influence. England has no such local self-government as America enjoys. She has her subdivisions of territory for local government, but everything there Is controlled and administered by tue central power, the nominal head ot which Is the qneen. . Nearly all nations have their minor Bub-divlsions of territory for local government, but not for local self-government, as America has; not for government exclusively by the people, but a local government mainly administered, dictated to, centroled and Influ enced by the central authority through agents ana omcersappointea oy mat autnoruy, ana whose terms of office Is the pleasure of the appointing power; and herein lies thedlstiuotlon between America and other governments. Our local self-government is peculiar to the American people, and Its peculiarity and great excellence consist in its being ad ministered by the people ana regulated ana protected bv the States, and so not easily subjected to any Interference by the nation or t ederai Government, ine estate is tne snieia of the weaker organizations or corporations for the purposes of local self-government. Local self-government can live and thrive under State authority and protection, for the State is always in sympathy and unison with, and directly- - Interested In the healthy development. But it Is absolutely unsale when suoiectea to any otner innuenoe ana authority. It matters not whether that authority be a president, an emperor or a king, and the greater that autnority the greater the danger. The wolf, . undoubtedly, can give greater protection to the iamb than the dam and the eagle more effectually protect the young doves than their mother still, both lamb and young doves, would hardly desire such protectors. And so reason and Instinct should teach the American people not to ex change the natural protection which they have In Stat; rights lor the more powerful protection oi tne i eaerai Government, for an history tells the same tale of the aggressiveness of power when lodged in the hands of one.or few persons, and chronicles the same mournful requiem of liberty lost In the in terest ot centralization, , We see no evidence of "con fusion In the mind", of Senator Gordon, as to tne meaning of '-State rights," and "local self-government," and tue dependence of the latter upon the former, and he need not remain silent under ' the apprehension that the American people, North or South, are yet indoctrinated with the ideas or the Times or that school of politicians. On the contrary, let hlnvaud every other senator and representative, from whatever section of our common country, who has the sagacity to comprehend the necessities of the hour, and a tongue to express them, speak as becomes a patriot and a statesman. We confidently believe that when the true nature of the question of local self-government and its Indissoluble connection with, and dependence upon, State rights, is calmly and logically set before the American people, disrobed of the garments of partisan color, they will overwhelm ingly decide that these States shall neither be severed by the guillotine of secession, nor gobbled up by the ogre- of centralization. i.nuuniuju, iuu4 uw. i v. aa. ju, THE JiXODTJS. "Voices From Greene County One That of a Republican Who Has Voted His Last Republican Ticket. Correspondence of the Sentinel.! , WoETHiaeTON, Ind., Dec. 17. Will you allow me space enough in your valuable paper to tell the readers ot the Sentinel what I bave to say in regard t the action of the Indianapolis Journal, the Republican organ of the State, a paper that I have stood by since the organization of the party it represents. I always have voted the Republican ticket, but on seeing the course the Journal is taking in regard to the negro exodus, filling our State with paupers and worthless citizens, 1 feel like telling the leaders of tbe Republican party tbat tbey bars got my last vote. I am glad to see that' the Sentinel has the manly principle to publish to the world the course tbe Journal is pursuing in regard to the daughters of Republicans marrying negroes. Did not the Journal think it would say something "smart;" tbat what it said wonld be indorsed by all Republicans? It was "smart," but ' tbe smart" is turning to a blister, and the Journal is beginning, I hope, to feel it. Hoping successful year to the Democratlo party in - 1880, I will close by signing my name, Osca A Rxpdblicax. To the Editor of the Sentinel: - Sib They say a stitch in time saves nine. The same will apply to W. W. Dudley, United States marshal, and hit co-workers. The township trustees of Greene county are so much opposed to this exodus to Indiana that it will do the negroes no good to be sent to this county, as tbey will not receive any aid from them under any circumstances,) as they have new on hand to is winter paupers enough now already in this county, without feeding a setot negroes. If "de bosses of de emgrashun" want their negroes to starve let them be sent down here, as the Republicans have but little to give to their white friends and live themselves, and onr wealthiest men In Greene county are Democrats.

rOOSSTITUnOITAL AMENDMENTS.

A. J ' - r ! , ' - ..I f A Very Important opinion From Attorney General Woollen Upon the Same, In . Answer to s Letter Fi om Hon . A. Humphreys. Eon. Andrew Humphreys, of, Linton, lad., addressed a letter making the following inquiry to Attorney General Woollen recently; - "Should the first: and third ' proposed amendments to the State constitation be adopted by the people at the next April election, would it be obligatory upon the Le gisiature to pass a registry law, or would it only be directory 7" In answer to the above, the attorney general yesterday forwarded the following very important opinion, which will be read with interest by the people throughout the State, who will soon be called upon to vote on the constitutional amendments: To Hon. Andrew Humphreys: Srs 1 bave recaived and considered your favor of the 22d ult,, In which yon ask the following qnestion: Should the first and third proposed amendments to the State constitution be adopted by the people at the next April election, would It be obligatory upon the Legislature to pass a registry law, or would it be directory merelyT" in ascertains the meaning ot provisions in a constitution, the whole instrument inuitbe examined, and from such examination we are to ascertain the thought which It expresses. One of the ledlig thoughts expressed by the constitution of Indlaua is that the people having certain qualifications shall administer their government by tne choice of public servants, through the medium of the bailot. There can be no presumption that the people intended to disfranchise themselves through any neglect or violation of duty on the part of their servants or representatives. The Government is operated through elections by Uie people; without such expression ol the will of the electors, the whole machinery of Government would stop. By sections 4 and 5 of srtlcle s of the constitution of Indiana, It is provided that an enumeration of the voters shall be made every six years, aud at the next session of the Legislature thereafter,- representatives shall be apportioned among the several counties: and yet It has never been supposed tnat if the Legislature falls to make such apportionment, the election of members under 1 he old provisions of tbe law, would be Illegal. The p-actice has been otherwise. Tbe first proposed amendment to the constitution proscribes the qualifications of the voter, and concludes that he shall vote "if he shall nave been duly registered according to law." The third proposed amendment provides that the Legislature "shall also provide for the registration of all persons entitled to vote." In tbe event of these amendments being adopted, it would undoubtedly be the duty of the Legislature to provide for a registration of voters, but the failure to do so, In my opinion, would not operate to disfranchise tbe electors otherwise qualified to vote. In other words, the central idea that the elections shall be held as provided for in the constitution and laws can not be defeated by tbe failure of the Legislature to pass the registration law. So if the amendments are adopted, and there should be no session of the Legislature before the next election, persons otherwise qualified will be entitled to vole, although they have not been "duly registered according to law." Very respectfully, T. W. Woollen, Attorney General. Stits Industlral Meeting. A committee of cttizsns were in session Wednesday, at the Sate library, who proposa to correspond with the railroad companies, requesting them to extend excursion rates to the members of the different State Industrial associations, which hold meetings in this city duririg next month. Tbey decided to ass for rates between January 6 and 15, and baye prepared the following programme for the meetings: Monday, Jan. 6. State Board of Agriculture. Annual meeting. Tuesday, Jan. 7. Swine Breeders' association. Jan. 8. Bee Keepers' and Wool Growers' as sociations. Jan. 9. Poul'ry Breeders' association. January lu. State Dairymen's association. ' Eich of these associations hold annual conventions at different times during the year, lasting from one to three days, and the committee propose to bring all the meetings within this period of nine days, and in this way sscure at least half rates ever the different roads leading into tne city. Going Back en Their Race. At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Bethel' A. M. E. church, on Monday night, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved. By the board of trustees of Bethel A. M. E. church, that after the present lot of colored immigrants now quartered In this church shall have been disposed of, that we. ine noaru ot trustees, reiuse tne lunner use of th Is church for said purposes. I JR. a. A. rLLFKHT, 1 HOMAS HTKWAKT, LKBOY WASiNGTOX, WH.AU.UI, This resolution was afterward presented to tbe execuive committee of tbe relief asso ciation, wbo were very naturally astonished to find themselves thus check-mated in their work. 7 The sreument advanced bv the board o' trustees' a reason for their action is, "Tbat the members of the church will not stand it any longer " . Dr. o. A. Libert is a leading colored man in this State, and is the president ot the board of church trustees. More Negroes. The Fan-Handle train brought in five cars of Carolina negroes Wednesday. They num bered 225, and were almost destitute of clothing; indeed, some of the children were partially nude, and their weeping and wailing from cold and hunger was painful to heboid. They were escorted to the colored churches, where they were cared for during the night. It was rumored that four of the men had died from hunger en-route, but no authentic information could be obtained. They are beginning to realize their posi tion and see how they have been imposed upon, and yet none of them bave funds wherewith to return to their old homjs. Keeping Apples-. This is a much vexed" question, and one that is answered In hundreds of agricultural papers in almost as many different ways. The Farmer's Home Journal gives the plan of a Kentucky horticulturist: "Mr. Swan's mode of keeping apples is to neap them in piles on the ground, where tbe water will drain oft, placing soma straw under ana over the apples, and then throwing a thin coat of dirt over the straw. In November he picks the apples over and covers them up quite deep wttn the straw and dirt, one foot or 16 inobes thick. Apples put np in this manner win keep all winter sound and fresh. About four or five barrels are put np in each ptle. Mr. Swan says apples, to keep welljsbould be picked early, otherwise they will rot if allowed to hang too long on tba tree." ; . ; " "" f Stop That Conch. ' ' If you are suffering with a cough, cold, asthma, bronchitis, hay fever, consumption, loss of voice, tickling in the throat, or any affection of the throat or lungs, use Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. This la the great remedy that is causing so much excitement by its wonderful cures, curing thousands of hopeless cases. Over 1,000.000 bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery have been used within the last year, and have given perfect satisfaction in every instance. We can unhesitatingly say that this is really the only sure cure for throat and lung affeotions, and can cheerfully recommend it to all.

CERTAIN and PERIUKENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or longstanding. He refers to tbe entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fall to cure it the directions are otrictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a ainglo bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is however prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its uee is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease baa been checked, moreof-pecinlly in difficult and long-standing cases. Isuallythis medicine will not require any aid to keep tbe bowels in rood order. Ehould the patient, However, require a cathartic medicine, after baring taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a inrle doe of HULL'S VEGETABLE fAHULt PULLS will be sufficient.
