It., to report a minute in relation to the death of Dr. George L.Potter, post sur. geon, have prepared the following for entry upon the minutes of the Post and for publication, as directed. George Latimer Potter descended from a long line of worthy ancestry, which includes Brigadier-General .Tames Totter of the American army during the Revolution ; was Lorn in the month of February, A. D, 1823, at Potters Mills, in Centre county, Pa. His early lifo was passed amid the scenes of com fort and hospitable enjoyment, which rendered the society of Potters Mills ! renowned throughout the Comrnor. wealth, and equal to that of any com munity of its size anywhere. His early education was pursued at home and at the academies at I.ewisburg and Mifflin burg. He was graduated in his profes sion at "The University of Pennsylva nia'' in the spring of 1817. His entire professional life was spent in Bellefonte, except during the time he was actively employed in the military service of the country, from 1861 to 1866. He was first appointed on the 12th of October. 1865, Surgeon of the 45th Reg't.. Penn sylvania Vol., of which Col. Thomas Welsh was Colonel, and in which there were three and part of a fourth com panies from Centre county. He served with the regiment in Maryland and South Carolina, and resigned at New port News, Va., August 1, 1862, about the time that the regiment was incor porate'l with General Burnside's troops from North Carolina into what was af terwards known as the Ninth Army Corps. lie was appointed Surgeon of the 14* th Regiment Penn'a Vol., Sept. 12, 1862, and served with that organization, in the First Division of the Second Army Corps, until the close of the war, when he was mustered out with the itegiment, May 31, 1.865. He was much of the time Chief Sur geon of bis brigade, and being a very skillful operator, was generally placed upon the operating staff of the Division during an engagement. The same genial, kindly qualities which endeared him to the many at home, rendered him very popular in his profession in the army, and not only in the Division but throughout the Corps, and by many in other army corps he was sought for as a medical advisor and friend. He returned to his home after the close of the war, and has been engaged in the active duties of his profession among his old friends and neighbors ever since. At the organisation of this Post of the Grand Army of the Repub lic, he was very fittingly chosen its Post .Surgeon, which position he occupied at the time of his death, which occurred on Saturday evening, August 2, 1879. The fraternity, charity and loyalty upon which this organization is established, found in his heart a ready and prompt response. No man in this community more than he had a large-hearted sym. pathy with distress and sorrow wherever he found it. Not content with the practice of his profession among the poor and neglected, from whom he cared not and did not expect remuner ation, he dispensed as his ability per. mitted a genial charity in little articles of diet, which would otherwise have been wanting in the home of poverty and distreas. It is, therefore, not sin gular that his loss is so sincerely mourn ed by our entire-community, and that many rise up to bless his memory. JANRS A. BRA vex, ) ALSTIR CISTIN, / Com. C'UAS. A. QLSXM, j Mr. Hnyos und his Votooa. Written fur the Crr HSROCSAT. The constitution of the United States, as is admitted by contemporaneous writers, is a compact between sovereign States, though tho subject matter of that compact was a government, the powers of which were to operate upon tho people of those sovereign States Rggregatcly, and not upon the State au thorities, as is usual in confederacies. First —H is a confederacy, hecauso in its fuuntiation it proposes not ono single feature of a nationality. Tho people of tho separate States, as distinct political communities, ratified tho constitution, each State for itself, nud binding its own citizens and not those of any other State. Tho act of ratification declares it " to be binding on the States so rati fying. Tho States are Its authors—their power created it—their voice clothed it with authority—the government it formed is in reality their government, and the union of which it is the bond is the union of tho States, and not of individuals." Second —lt is a confederacy because of tho power of the government depend ing not upon the people of the United States collectively but upon tho Stato Leg islatures, or on the separate States act ing in their conventions. This cannot be successfully contradicted or ex plained away, and the contrary tenor of Mr. Hayes' vetoes is insulting to the sovereign power of the people and their State rights. Not responsible to tho people for the position lie now holds, ho is determined to have his marshals ami soldiers at tho poll* to control State eloctions, ami he gives us four veto messages because a majority of both houses of Congress refuse to pro vide monies to pay them for intimida ting and arresting the qualified voters on election day. He, therefore, be comes a dictator, and intimate* to Congress that if they applied to him he would dictate or form a bill for them that he would approve. He hail read that Cromwell had " marched his urrny to !.ondon to give law to Parliament," and he was willing to do tho same with Congress. If the States should la-neh surrender their jurisdiction over the j territory, persons, State elections, and things within their respective limits, tho last vestige of their sovereignty is gone. This jurisdiction is the only sheet anchor of their sovereignty—of their existence. That Mr. Hayes is criminally abusing the veto power and using it for the pur pose of consolidating the States into an empire, is self evident. How did Pres. j idenl Madison act when Congress char tered the Cnitcd States bank? On the third of March, Is 17, he vetoed j that act which "set apart a portion of the bonus of the national hank* for internal improvements." Congress re passed the act with a slight alteration, and Mr. Madison approved it, giving his reasons—in which he says, "that the reasons given in his veto message remain unchanged, but as Con great by a majority ha* passed the bill re-chartering the United States bank, that out of due regard and respect to the acts of the othor department of government, it would he presumption in him to sup pose that he had more wtsdom, more virtue and more dtecrrtion than the ma- i jority of both houses of Congress, he had approved the act." Unlike Mr. Hayes, he did not abuse the veto powor. In 1834, it was proposed in the : United States Senate to amend the constitution in this respect, so that { after a presidential veto the act re turned should be law if passed again by a timp/e majority and such should be the law. This is worthy of considera tion. It may be observed that the rights of the States are two-6>ld. First, those enumerated in the constitution, and second, those out of the constitution, which cannot be 'exercised save by free, independent and sovereign States : Ist, to protect the liberty and property of their citizens { 2d, jurisdiction over all the territory, lives and property of their citizens within the chartered limits; 3d, to repel invasion; 4th, to arm, train, officer and command their own militia; sth, to punish treason, insurrection and rebellion against the State; 6th, to levy taxes on their own citizens and on their property ; 7th, to regulate the rate of interest on money in their own States ; Bth, to refuse send ing members of Congress. (Could Mr- Hayes with his marshals and soldiers compel a single State to elect members of Congress against its consent?); 9th, to refuse to join in the election of President and Vice President. Many other considerations might be adduced, but they are needless. The usurpation of Mr. Hayes in send ing his marshals and soldiers to control Htate elections and secure the election of bis political partisans is a revolution of the Htate constitutions and election laws, and should be resented by every lover of free government. 11a refers to Article IV, section 2. of the constitution of the United -States, which relates to property, bringing of suite, full protec tion in person and uetate, Ac., and not to those rights which form tho very nature of society and -government be longing exclusively to citizens of par ticular States. Such are the rights of elections and representation, for they cannot bo impurted to any but citizens without an invasion of the principles of tho social compact. A citizen of Pennsylvania cannot cross the line into Maryland, or New Jersey,or New York und vote there. Ho must be domiciled und qualified in other respects, whether as to proporty, age, term of residence, or otherwise, according to the luws of the particular State in which he may claim to exercise the right of franchise. Common sense points out this distinc tion, and it should ho borne in mind. Why prevent tho cltisen of another State on tho day of election from voting 7 Can Mr. Hayes and his mar shals compel the judges of State elec tions to take suoli a vote? And what : prevents it? The simple answer is that State rights puts its veto on such attempts. But the truth is Mr. Hayes is prepar ing tho way to elect his successor. The | chaste Conkling and tho base-born gladiator of Maine having lashed him ' into obedience, aro now prompting and I urging him to his present tyrannical | acts to destroy every vestige of the rights of Slates in the hope of contin j umg their party in power through ccn | tralixation and consolidation. IVe have got to that stage when every thing will go on without an era of high price*. I said that many iron works were again lieginning operations. This relates primarily to blast furnace*. But the furnace* that are again going into blast are those that can make iron cheaply. Those that from their situa tion or any other cause# cannot make iron for less than $l5 a ton cannot go into blast. This country can now pro duce aliout 4,000,000 tons of pig iron ; 2,000,000 of this can lie made under $l5 a ton; the other 2.000,000 cannot l>e maetter." The doc tor shook his head ominioualy and re marked : "We'll see how ho is in ten minute*." The remark had harely escaped his lips when Ncboll cried out: "Give me some water! Oh, do! It will be the last I'll ever ask for." The poor fellow was given another drink. Ilia potion was deep and long. Then hia eyes closed, and he seemed to pas* off" into a quiet sleep, but it was that deep slumber which knows no waking. A Congressman Not Allowed to Preach. From th Portland A runs. Rev. Mr. De lot Matyr attended the Chestnut Street Methodist Church Sun day afternoon, and some of the promi nent members desired to have the rev erend gentleman preach. A council of trustee* and official waa held, and while some of them were in favor of listening to the words of wisdom aa they fell from the gentleman's lips a majority were opposed to his preaching, thinking it might exert a bad influence. Rev. Mr. I>e I-a Matyr has been a minister of the (Jospel thirty years, and he says thia is the first time he waa ever refused a Methodist pulpit. IHsiisfrotis Fire In Boston * TREMORT TIVPU DESTROYED ARD THE PARKER HOUSE lIAHEI.V SAVED. A fire broke out about eleven o'clock on last Thursday night, in the rear part of the roof of the Tremont Temple, situated on Tremont street and adjoin ing the rear portion of the Parker House, The flames got pretty good headway before the arrival of the fire department, and before the engineer got fairly at work the roof was destroy ed and a portion of the walla on the side and rear had fallen in, almost com pletely destroying the building. The fine organ near which the fire broke out is destroyed and the build ing is very thoroughly gutted. The blaze soon assumed the proportions of an extensive conflagration and the proximity to the J'arker House, on .School street, opposite the City Ilsll, occasioned general alarm to the guests of that hotel, nearly all of whom had feli rod. The building seemed in imminent j danger, and the guests made hasty pre parations for a change of quarters. Many of them not being willing to ! stand the risk of the hotel catching on | fire promptly left the house, while oth ers quickly got their baggage into the hall and corridors, awaiting the moin- I ont when it would he necessary to seek ! safer accommodations. | In about an hour, however, the fire was well under control, and, beyond a i slight scorching of the walls in the j rear portion of the hotel, no mutcrial damage was done. The loss on the Temple, which is owned by the American Bible Society, is estimated at from |I. Several fireman were injured by falling walls, but it is thought none j were dangerously hurt. The fire is be liever! to have originated from the com bustion of gas. ♦ A Shoemaker's Strike. TfriH*, Auguat fl. A wedding occurred lm-t evening in this city which recalls strikingly some of the incidents in the "Arabian Knights." It was between two favor ite* of fortune whose sudden removal from poverty to opulence has few paral b Is in fiction and far fewer in real life. The bridegroom is Mr. August Kiache, who wa*, a year and a half ago. a joenver, to which he will take hi* bride. Mr. Riscbe's (.resent to the bride consisted of a watch and chain and diamond jew-' elry to the value of $7,*00 and $lOO,OOO in (Jovernment bond*. Some of the fineat present* were sent by Mr. Uische's Denver friends, and did not arrive in time for the wedding. — m —■■ ■ H. P.
