1. Tho carliotst lypo of personal
power is tho Physical. Tho first heroes
were Kimrods, mighty hunters in tho
chaso and mighty warriors in tho
bnttlo. They were ewift of foot, thoy
were stalwart of frame. Ihev woro
long iiiiu Birong 01 ai m unu iireiebs in
hazardous deeds. They wcro deep
chested, thin -flanked, bold breasted
and made up of all tho approved points
of personal knighthood. They wcro
cool ond dauntless of eyo, and ad
vanced upon danger wilh a confidence
in the prowes ol their own good
right arm aguintt whatsoever odds
Their foes wero wild beasts in tho
forests or tho amphitheatre, or re
doutublo champions on tho plains and
in tho passes of heady fight, or fiereo
castled robbers, brutal ond strong.
whose fortresses they scaled, whoso
brigand heads they hung out over tho
cnstlo walls. So thoy pass boforo in
along tho scenery of their times, men
not ot words but ol deeds, grim spec
tros, bl od stained, tho peerage of
human muscles; tho best was ho who
rodo the boldest steed, who leveled
tho stoutest lanee, who whirled tho
heaviest msec, who struck wilh deep
est dint. They loom up in tho mists
ol old romance, man and borso, blunu
cu centttttr like, slioalhcd in iron, car
rying in their single puissance tho
fortunes of kingdoms and dynasties
To tlietn tho lyto was struck, ol thorn
tho minstrel sung, fur thotn tho feast
smoked, on them beauty mnilod. 1 ho
elder Hercules was ono who could
rend oaks and stranglo serpents. Tho
modern has other labors onlv symbol
ized by thoso of bis prototype. Wo
shall never bo quito able lo suppross
our odmiration br physical prowoss
and yet this sort of hero has bad his
day. Many things have combined lo
pusli bun off tho staire. Iho world in
its various progress has out outgrown
him and left hitn behind with its own
boyhood. Changing sentiments have
depreciated this gladiulorial and Ro
man virluo, and tho invention of a
small, black, nitrous dust, called gun
powder, has swept the knights and
their train out of human story. Per
sonal greatness is no longer a question
'of thews and sinews. To bo strong
now is not, to oxccl in bone and brusvti
2. The next typo of personal power is
thul derived from Imlh and blood and
place patrician qrcatness. This soil
of hero d fives across the stngo chariot
cd, coroucled and titled. Ho bears a
iiattio mado illustrious by dead men
who lio in stato. He dwells amid bit
armed retainers and receives feudal
homugo. His lordly castle overlooks
bis subject lands and the homos of his
peasunlry. J 1 o rides with so many
Hpcur ul his back, and when ho goes
to court, men give In in precedenoo ami
consideration, not according as ho Is
getitlo in spirit, truo in heart, noblo in
purpose and ptiro in life, but nocording
to tho length of bis buried lino and the
number of Iho stius blazoned on his
breast. When he stands among his
peers he is first or least in his casta by
descont and rank rather than by
worth. We still cherish some little
portion of this feudal deference and
ittako way with decent homago for
the Well born. But thii greatness is
in our day only a bhadowy effigy of its
ouco ducal preeminence Tho time
has past, nt least wilh us, on these
republican shores, when men wield
largo infltionco, solely because thoy
stand high on a heap of ancestral
bones, or enter the social sculu on tho
loltiest level. Not tho crown, but what
it circles, is tho question note ; not iho
emblazoned slur, but what beats be
neath itj not the fountain, but tho
redness of the blood that flows in tho
vions.

nalion of the almighty dollar, had wo
time. Suffice it to any, lltul tho peoiM
of this now order of nobility are men
of redoubtable force.' Throned on
their money bags they bold a sceptro
unto whose lilting and poising a mul
titude of dependencies bend the knee.
Of course, in their personal and indii
viduitl Bpltoro, thoy carry about with!
them something of tho atmosphcro of
this wido and potent influenco. They
move with the trend ot solid men.
Their going out and coming in carries
a presence with it. Their forms nndj
faces, and even thoir words, sro over;
laid wilh gold-loa'f. Their quarter m
tho court end, their circlo is good so
ciety. Their way of doing things isjdors of onthusiasm, ull that was geno-llisbioiir'-Aitd
Totp. Jut uuo ft ai.wi rcuit, chivalrous and Keif devoted in
gilded poors bo a narrow-souled miser.
how liko a great blot lio bis mansion
and surroundings on tho smiling
landscape ; how men shiver as thoy
hurry past him out of tho cold shadow
into tho sunshine Let hitn bo u
mean man, how everybody despises
him, even thoso who fawn. Let him
be a sharp, hard man, and what low
ering looks follow him behind his
back. Let him win and spend selfish
ly how few bless him, or ure wrought
upon by him, with any doplh of Im
pression. Let him be without person
al characteristics, moro impersonal
inearnnto wealth, how fleeting the
reign of his influence, how low tho in
terests bo has touched and shaped. In
tho bust of bis power, this man deals
so primarily and largely with mutorial
unci perishublo investments, that as a
moro man of wealth, the secret of
furthest, most lasting influenco is not
his.
4. A yot loftior type of personal
power than any we bavo nuinod, is
tho Intellectual. As tho soul is tho
truo man, intellectual stature is real
stature. When man comes in contact
wilh man, and stronglh it measured
against strength, intellectual preemi
nence, moro thnn all other advantages
yet signulizcd, is real preeminence.
The force of this power is far felt and
permanent. Its monuments aro htato
ly and enduring. A word, a thought,
pass out over tho tiulions and wing
their flight down tho ages. They
become seeds of thought, and condi
lions and stimulants of mental activi
ty to millions of minds and many
generations. They hovo tho keys of
ull souls in their keeping, and open
and enter in and sit down wilh tho air
and welcome of a mSaier'. The live
as watchwords and rallying crios on
men's lips in personal sorrows and
grent struggles. In them lives tbo
life of their author. His works are
not bis mausoleum, but his incarna
tion, in which be still walks and tuWg
among his fellows and bisdisciules.and
suu ii ntuver Bee ucaiu. oun liu sings
iu imtnor'al verso, still bis theses tench
in the schools of philosophy, still ho
stands beforo nuturo's secrol altars
her high priest lo ull worshipper.
Slill ho sways wilh burning period
tho popular assembly, decrcs judicial
decisions, guides etntesmanship and
diplomacy, charms our evoning hours
wilh sweet fancies, or guides along
tho mighty gullaries of history, and
watches through midnight vigils with
the lono student, beguiled by such
companionship till tho gray dawn
smites bis eyelids and pales his faith
ful lump. This is a crown lo firo tho
rye of ambition. It is a huiglit to
tempt ad veti tu rous feet. Hut this
power, in its distinctive inheritance,
as a lordship among men, is for tho
low. It cannot be universal; its con
ditions ore too exacting; it demand
a lilo of uovotion to itscll ; it asks lor
tho young, fresh years and the full
slrongth. Minerva is a jealous di
vinity. Sho will not divide the hom
age ot her votaries with n rival. In
tellectual pursuits,' in such measures
as to confer intellectual command,
cannot be joined to tho common every
day toils of lifo by which men win
their daily bread. Tho teachers, tho
intellectual quickenors of their ago, in
every department of mind, must bo
mainly single and professional in thoir
calling. Thorefore, if prccminenco
here be a lofty stylo of personal power,
it is routined to its clanships, it is not
popular, ii is noi a uoon lor me mass
es. It is a crown liko tho light of
setting sun for Iho tall peaks, leaving
tho lowor slopes and vales in the
shade. And then as mere intellectual
force, until it is veined with another
life, it expend itself upon the intel-
loct, or at furthest, upon tin sonsibili
ly. It works beneath a cold sky.
If it comes into the warm region of
tho sensibilities, it docs not go down
to tho vitalities of diameter, and
breatho through all Iho channels of
tho heart the spirit of lliu dully life.
It is not oven a power to soothe and
bless Us possessor, lis fruit turns to,
ashes upon tho lips, and many a disap-
pointed uspn-uia ior inioitociuiw grcsn,-
ness eonfeascsnt tho lust, in bittornoss
that of life." Let us look again, for
yot another typo of personal power,
subject lo nouo ot these conditions,
whilo yet it shall gather to itself iho
best lilo and meaning of ull that havo
preceded it.
5. Wo must call this trtior and bot-vl,r il inmates, and makes tho men
tor kind, Moral Power. Its scut i.ber of a family peacoablo and con
tho moral nnluro, the conscience find ;'doralo of each olhor's feelings and
tho heart. Its lifo is tho central Inw happiness. Tho connection is obvious
prescribed by tho supremo moral between tho stato of mind thus pro-
Governor. Tho law of his own being
tho furco thnt ncayi omnipotence the
law, tho force of lovo. Il is ever obe
dient to tbo right, becauso it is lovo.
r or right is some beings duo, and love
cannot withhold anything that is duo
to God or mnn. Kor tho same reason
il is just it is unselfish ; il goes forth
in benollccnce,whonovorand wherever
it ninyasn full fountain flows down in
its open channel. Tho model of this lof
tiest, holiest power, is seen in the lilo of!
inn uespisa nuzarone, us granaosi con
summation ami ils divinosl innpiration
at tho Croa of the immuculalo Son of

A suspension of tho writ ol habeas
corpus by tho federul government in
any of tho States iu timo of peace
would have been regarded formerly
as a very serious matter, lloth Ameri
cans ami Knglish all peoplo of Iho
Anglo Saxon raeo have ever caro
fully guarded thoir civil rights as pro
tected by the writ of habeas corpus,
ami have taken alarm at the first step
to deprive tlietn of theso rights. Tho
writ of habeas corpus bus been regard
ctlj.ts tho bulwark of liberty, and it is
this which more than anything olsu
led lo tho freedom which wo enjoy.
But times havo chunged. Our Into
civil war and the demoralization which
resulted from it have destroyed in n
mcusuro tho watchfulness of tho Ameri
can people over their liberties anil
jealonsr of the encroachment- of arbi

the United States suspend the writ
ot habeas corpus in a section of our
common country nnd little notice of il
is taken, as if it wero a malterof ordi
nary occurrence or of no importance
us if, in fact, no great principle
wore involved. Tho proclamation of
tho President, tinted Washington, Oc
tober 17, 1S71, which was published
in our issue last Wednesday, places
tho counties of Spartanburg, York,
Marion, Chester, Laurens, Newbury,
Fairfield, Lancaster and Chet-terlield,
South Carolina, under martial law,
on tho ground that combinations and
conspiracies exist to obstruct and hin
der the execution of tho civil law, and
that tho federal government is called
upon to suspond the writ at habeas
corpus ond to govern by military au
thority, in accordance wilh tho act ol
Congress passed last April. If the
public mind were nol so demoralized
und so indifferent to this exercise of
military authority in time of general
peaco thero would bo a moro search
ing inquiry ns to tho causes for a ne
cessity of this extraordinary action of
tho government.
l'ortunatcly, Iho independent press
ol tin country is I roe to discuss l no
conduct of tho government and to call
attention lo tins important matter.
The independent press, as Junius said,
is tho pnlladiiim of our civil nnd re
ligious liberties. Let lis see, then,
what foundation thero was for pro
claiming martial law and croatingsueh
a dangerous precedent for exorcising
arbitrary power in this free republic.
Tho President tell us in his procla
mation that combinations and conspi
racies oxist in the counlios placod un
der mnrtiul law which cannot bo
reached by tho civil law, and these ho
calls rebellious nnd insurrectionary.
Hy this ho menus what is generally
known as tho Kn Klux. The changes
nro rung on such expressions ns con
spiracies, organized and armed com
binations, violence, defiance of the con
stituted authorities, nnd so on, but
thero is no evidence of rebellion or in
surrection eithor in the sense ironornlly
understood or of tho constitution of
tho United Slates. Tho Inw of Con
gross on which ho bases bis action
may bavo given a new interpretation
to rebollion or insurrection which wns
never meant in tho constitution, and
ho may bo acting strictly injeonl'ormi
ly wilh that, liul tho Itiwlossnes of
a few individuals, which at most only
extends to a sort of lynch Inw in pun
ishing obnoxious persons or thoso who
nro guilty of crimes, cannot bo con
slriied into rebellion against tho gov
crnmont. In fact, there Iibs been no
such rebellion or insumvlion. Nor
havo tho proper constituted local an
Ihorities called upon tho federal gov
ernment lo suspend tho civil law, as
is required by Iho constitution.
Governor'Seotl, of South Carolina,
when asked thrco weeks ago if ho
wero opposed to martial law, replied,
"Most unequivocally I am, nnd those
men who nro so clamorous of mnrtiul
law ore pursuing a mistaken policy."
Ho said, moreover, that ho had no
idea General Grant would declare
martial law, that ho (tho Governor)
was not in favor ofll, and that ho
thought tho civil law wns moro 'of!!
elcnt. What better authority does
tho administration want thnn tho
Governor of tho Slnto, who is ono of
its own partisans f Then tho Hlste
is under Radical government, and
most ol tho authorities in il are op
posed to martial law. Tho clamor

by another great' conflagration, Iho
greatest in its history, on Ihe Kith of
December, 1825. Six hundred ware
houses, and property to the extant of
over 820,(100,1100 were consumed. Our
oldest inhabitants still rcmcmhor tho
horrors of thai lerri bio disaster. On
Ihofithof September, lx.Ht, tho city
had another severe visitatien, when
forty-six buildings anil property valued
at 810,000,001) wero tlestroyod. Tlio
next conflagration "of largo extent) in
this city took place on the 10th of

Tlio sceno most naturally recalled
by Iho fearful disaster in Chicugo is
the terrible celebration of tho 4lh of

leiding facts of tliat great event aro
still fresh in the public mind. Tho
tire, beginning in a bool shop on High

It seem probable from tho reports
thus far received that the terrible fire
in Chicago has no parallel in modern
history, unless in the conflagration
kindled by the war. I'.ven tho gront
fire in London, though relatively,

absolute extent. Tbo London of that,
