TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 1,1868.
A LEGAL ASPECT OF ram DRAFT.
The Times in a recent article vindicates at
much length the constitutional power of Con
gress to enact the Conscription bill of the last
Congress. We observe nothing new in the
elaborate effort, except it be an atatimpt to draw
thoi inference that because England his lm
prog'sed seamen into her navy, therefore, Con
gress may impress citizens of New York into
the army of the United States, in accordance
with provisions of the existing Conscript law.
We are quite sure that no•one tint a partisan
of the Lincoln administration could possibly
bee any analogy •in the two eases. either in
fact or theory. The impressment of seafaring
men into the royal navy of Great Britain. in
the first plate, d +es not rest. upon any positive
provision of law; and, in the second place,
was always submitted to by the English peo
ple of all classes with great reluctance. The
right of forcibly putting ileiman into the royal
navy, in limes of great exigency, is only to be
defended as a prerogative of the crown, given
by implication but never conferred by statute.
Until the article in the Times was , printed we
did not suppose that anybody in the United
Slates would assert that British impressment
was a practice worthy of imitation. in America.
Our neighbor will have few rivals in the work
of making the press gang an American insti
tution.
- The,endeayor of the Time to °rest, the im
pression, that all who deny the power of Con
gress to enact the law of draft, now on the
statute book also deny the existence, under our
aystem of government, of any such thing as
compulsory military service, is unworthy of
that journal. The very article in which it is
thus attempted to misrepresent Democratic
opinion unwittingly admits that .• our entire
State militia system is one of compulsory ser
vice," and thus discloses the partisanship of
the writer.
No Democrat denies to the Federal Govern-
ment ample authority to compel all the mili
tary service necessary to maintain the Consti
tution, to repel invasion, and to enforce the
laws ; but it it very generally denied that gen
grests has any legal power to do all that is at
tempted by the recent not of Congress. The
distinction is not, a new one. The principle
involved was considered during the revolu
tionary apoelt, and was elaborately discussed
in Congress during the war of 1812-14. It is
a grave quention of constitutional law, which
demands pure reason in its consideration ; and
which can no more be wisely determined by
suggeetionti like those addressed to the PUNIc
passion by administration editors and orators
than can the power of Congress to compel a
citizen to receive a " green-hack " in complete
fulfillment of an antecedent contract to pay a
doll'ir pi gold be settled upon any sound legal
biteitt 'by speeches 'delivered to approving au ,
diencea on the military conduct of the war, or
by poems in praise - of the financial integrity
of Simon, called Cameron.
The provisions of the' Constitution which
relate t 4 the subject of national defence are
these;
Congress shall have power :
" To raise and support armies, but no appro
priation of money to that use shall be for a
longer term than two years;
U To provide for milling forth the militia, to
execute the laws of the "Union ; to suppress in
surrections. and to repel invasions;
"To provide for organizing, arming, and
disciplining' the militia. and governing such
part of them as may be employed in the ser.
vice of •the • United Slatta, reserving to the
States respectively the appointment of the
officers, etc.
" A well regulated militia being necessary to
the clarity of a free 15 MI% the right of the
people to keep mid bear arms shall not be in
fringed."
It is apparent at a glanoe that the Constitu-
tion employs two terms in providing for the
general defense, and that the two do not refer
each to the same thing. The terms are " arm
ies" and "militia." The army is a body be
longing exclusively to the United States ; the
militia is a thing of the States. The army of.
the United States had no existence till the Con
stitution was adopted: end an army raieedunv
der it ; the militia of the States was an insti
tution which existed long before the Union of
1789 was framed. The regular army is the re
salt of a contract between the individual cid
len and the United States to eerie as soldier
or oilier for a certain length of tim", and for
a certain stipulated sum ; the militia grows
out of the duty of every able bodied man to be
ready and willing to defend the government
which protects hum The basis of the Dewy
is a contract and pay ; of the militia the basis
is civic duty. Congress raises and supports
" armies ;" the States Tahiti and support
"militia." Observe 'that clause in the Consti
tution which provides for raising armies (Art.
I, Sec. VIII) and note its language : " Con
gress shall have power to raise and support
armies, but no appropriation of money for that
use shall be for a longer term than two years "
There is no money limitation upon the power
to " eall forth militia" to execute the laws of
the Union, to suppress insurrection, and to re
pel invasion. And this " calling forth the
militia" is the way and manner by which the
Constitution enables the Federal Government to
use and employ, on emergency, a force larger
than the regular " armies" of the United States;
to use and employ a force which numerically
is sure to be equal to any proper porpotte.
Nobody doubts or denies toot the State of
New York can enroll and place in the militia
of the'State every able bodied white citizen of
New York capable of bearing arms. The act
of April 28, 1862, is evidence of what the pea=
pie of New York have done to maintain a
militia fume& subject to. be "called folk" ley
Opogress tinder the conditions specified in the
Constitution. When that call is legally made
the Governor of the State must and will one;
it, as he did when a r- quisitton was made for
troops 1 0.0 to the NOW of Ponnstr Ivania. Thus
much for the assertion of the lime& that those
who deny the conaututiunelity of the Cons Tip-
Hoe law teerefore del y tall .power in ine Ftd
eral government to compel servioe.
The difficulty with the Conscripttou bill is,
that it ignores tee ezisionee of the States ; it
strikes down the mutts wnich the Constitu
tion says is t• ueuees.ry to the security of a
free State." The framers of the great charter
of the republic intenued and desired that when
the regular army proved insuffrient for the

PRICE TWO CENTS
THE EARTHQUAKE AT MANILLA.
The Diaro de Manilla, of the fah Jute, states
that this is toe most severe earthquake experi
eared in the Phillippises sizice the year 1646.
The eat heJral, the royal chapel, St Domingo,
St. Isobel, San Juan de Dios, the palace, save.
ria schools, the military hospital, the buildings
occupied by the tribunal of comm. rce, and in
deed 'ali the pablio'butldiege'vere to the
ground. Many priests and people Were at.
vespers in• the cathedral when the shock came,
some of whom escaprd- r those being in the
hack part of the edifice; the front only hOving
fsllen,-burying in its ruins many of the wor
shippers, and killing eight priests. The gov
ernor was fortunately away.from home when
the palace tell, many of his family having with
difficulty extricated themselves froM the ruins.
The shrieks and wailings of the people buried
in the ruins and not rescued on the morning of
the 4th are described as something fearful.
The following is, from the Straits Times
Overland' Mail of the 21st of June: "On the
3d inst., at half past seven in the evening, 'a
ciroumambient flame was seen to raise from the
earth sod gird the city of Maailla (the 'Beau
teous Flower of tbe East,' as she is finely
and poetically designated by her possessors,)
at the same time a most terrific quaking of the
earth took place. It lasted scarcely a minute,
hut in that short space nearly the. whole of
fair Manilla had been xeduced to a heap of
ruins. The aboidnation of desolation has
taken possession of her palaces, her temples
and her dwelling-pldces,and death and destruct
lion have ridden triumphantly otier the land.
We believe that upwards of a thousand have
been killed, and many thousands wounded, but
it is impossible to say or to estimate. Scarcely
an edifice has cecaped without dead or
wounde t. The good priests, their ohoriritere
and sacristans, and the faithful who were hear
ing the vespers of Corpus Christi, have been
nearly all buried and suffocated under the
ruins of the cathedral and other churches
The only church 'that has escaped wholly is
San Augusa- the same that withstood the tre
mendous shock of 1646. The palace,. and
nearly all the public and pritiate, as will 'as
commercial edifices, have either been. tlitown
down or shaken front their huudatious.—
Thank God ! not a single foreigner has been
killed, but two we hear, have been seriously
hurt, though ncittlineeionsly. • The Rodrigues
property ; left to ti,e British nation, and where
the Britieh cotwulate was, be's been entirely
destroyed, and is nothing but`a wises of ruble.
We must telicitateSpaiu on-the conduct of her
subjects here, of all classes, during this great
and sudden trial ; they acted admirably. The
governor-general and the areboishop set a*
brilliant example, whinh has been copied nearly
by all, of calmness, fortitude, resignation and
energetic eympatby. The city is deserted
nearly, for the 'edifices threaten to fall Sud
denly, and there may be (though Heaven fore
fend it) a repetition. - Before the cart Itqaake
took place sulphurous odors• were perceived,
rumbling like the firing of ordnance, and thee
like the approach of an immense Wouttatiee
and train. The flame that snrrOunAed the city
sae been from the bay to ascend towards the'
sky; and another, a tippled snake, one, came
from the land over the water to the shipping,
and threw them up at least two or. three feet,
while on shore the earth has everywhere sunk
at least two feet, God help us; we are all
sink and nervous, and require all our faith and
confidence to sustain us."
TEE COURSE OF REPUBLICANISM.
Some ten years ago, when the Republican
party wan started, Dem*crate like D 13. Dick
enson and Cochrane, Whigs like Choate. Con
stitution men like Everett, said as distinetlY as
words and acts could speak: " Your party
must inevitably be sectional t, a sectional party ,
is inevitably dangeroue. Your platform is a •
alap in the face to the South " Advice. en
treaty, argument, were of : no avail. Four years
after, the same men said to the same party:
"To every argument we urged before we now
add the fast that the Supreme Court has decided
this question against you, and you therefore
yield, not to political opponents, but to law;
your pride is sate, your banner is not lowered
to man." In order to meet the overwhelming
weight of this last argument. the :Repaltikan ,
party was forced to take precisely 'the posision as
to the Constitution which Mr. Calhoun took as the
basis of nu/Walton. When Mr. Lincoln was
elected, secession began. It might have been
arrested by the Crittenden compromise. The
Republicans refused to become parties to that.
After Mr. Lincoln was elected war arose: The
Republicans said : " Let there be no party, let
us adjourn all debate as' to who was in fault
originally till the war is over." It was agreed
to. • At that time everybody understood what
was to be done. The administration. noder the
Constitution, was to use arms until it could ex
ercise ita constitutional power over every inch
of our territory. Joseph Bolt, whose loyalty
is superservioeable, wrote to H-ntuoky " The
great thoroughfares of the North, the East,
and the West are luminous with the banners,
and glistening with the bayonets of citizen sol
diers. No excesses will mark the foutsteps Of
the crudes of the republic, no institution of the
States will be invaded or tampered with, no
rights of persons or of property will be violated.
The known Imposes of the administration and
the high character of the troops employed,.
alike mummy, the truthfulness of this state
ment.' Proof might be piled on proof, it it
were necessary, but the truth is so fresh in he
memory of all that fut ther citation is unneces
sary. In a very short time the administration
began doing just exactly what it was warring
against atvis for doing—violating the Consti
tution, by the suppression of newspapers and
by arbitrary arrests. The Democrats- called
out : " You are wasting your energies. Year
business is to tight ineurgents in the Confed
eracy, not men at home, whether they be Union
or not." Next the administration hegan to
conduct the war on "the rights of humanity"
system. The Democrats said : " We have noth
ing to do with the • rights of humanity,' wears
fighting for our own rights to the Wien ; it
will he a pretty tough lib to get them, but we
can do it. and we don't wont to carry any more
weight than we can avoid into a hard fight "
The administration psi , ' no attention to the'
notions of at least thres•fif he of the voters in
the free Sates, and of course those three-fills
determined, in the proper, legal manner , to . 1
have 'heir own wty, and organized into a party
for the purpose of 'placing power elsewhere..

TILE FACTS ABOUT JOHN MQRGAII
- AND - BIS-MEN IN THE 0810 'PHA%
TENTIANT.
[From the Chriatain Advocate.]
In puriest issue you copy from a daily paper
an article in reintion to the noted highway
robber and murderer, John Morgan, ant the
gang`confined with him in the Onio peniten
tiary, in which there are some errors. Ittsay
not be a matter of much•consequenoe to the
pnbtic to know any further of' the status of
Morgan, except that he is in safe custody, in
the care of our vigilant and inflexible warden;
N. Marion, Esq., where he will remain in all
security till removed by proper authority,
There are sixty-eight of Morgarea'officers in
the prison. They occupy the ~oath side of the
new hall, each end 'of whieh is 'temporarily
closed. They are locked up separately in cells
at seven o'clock , in the evening; and are. un
locked at about seven in the morning. They
enjoy the privilege of walking the hall tbronglt
the day, which is, perhaps, one hundred lurid
fifty feet long and twelve feet wide. At eight
a. in. and three p. m. they are conducted to
the common dining-hall. and have prison fare,
with, I believe, the addition of coffee and sugar;
and - some-few articles furnished by thetuneltea.
Morgan had 'no "belt filled with .gold, green
backs and Confederate notes." His valuables
amounted to twenty-three dollars and bitter
nut breast pin. The amount .of our severe
ment and postal currency tound on tbe peraons
of the other officers was not large. They had
considerable sums in Confederate money.. •
Morgan and his men are all shaved and
trimmed, in accordance 1412 the rule of the
institution. This is the custom, I suppose, for
two 11116001113 firm, to Secure pereenal cleanli
ness ; second, to give a uniform app 'seance to •
the prisoners so that- detection would be more
easy, in else of an attempt to escape. • ; •
They do ,not wend our obapPl•servioen, The
reason is obvious. It would bring a orewd,of
visitors, attracted' by. curiosity ; and, besides,
our services are too loyal to snit traitors.' AU
who desire bibles are supplied from the prison
library, and, by permission of the' warden, I
sent down for dietribittion poorer them a large
number of the volumes of the Christian Li-•
beery.
In appearance, Morgan looks like a num
addicted to worldly pleasure. He is full six.
feet high, straight and well built, with an elan-
tic step end something of a commanding pre
sence. His upper lip is short and etimetihat
sunken, so that kis front teeth are slightly ex
posed. His complexion is sandy. and the Vats
quite thin nn the top of bin bead. He leeks
to be an Ordinary man intellectually. Hb has,
however, one of the qualifications of a good
commanderhi kates -hoot to obey I He con
forms strictly to the rules of the establishiamg,,,
an.tenjoins obedience on tbe part of hie fellow-,
