>UH«M WhUM. Q«t *. lit. t tnWn-A BNik I* th« ■ fcartka. - " the New York Hcrakl does not conceal Is break in the ranks” of the Rad- pitrty as to whether the ratification of tho OonSUtatlonal Amendment, by three- of the States, Is all that will bo required effect Southern restoration, or whether, tho ament being ratified, more shall ho required the Booth. In an article beaded as nltovi it paper says: “Therecentspeeches oft Thai!, ten* and Bethel Flutter Butler, for instance, !ftdow. a new enrsado against the South ey Intimate that the adoption ot the constitu- Sonal amendment by tlie Southern States will not be sufficient, but that still ftwther concessions must be made by that peoplo and other gunran- secured. On the other hand, snch represen- tiro men as Senator Wilson and Representative inkling, in tlicir speeches oh tho stump, repu- Hate this idea of Stevens, Butler & Company, and declare tl)at the taithof Congress is pledged to admit the Southern representatives upon their States ratifying the constitutional amendment— Upon this point there is as wide a difference be tween tlie party leaders as that which oxists be- iveeb the two political parties of tho day. The success of the republican party in this contest will be the signal tor a bitter controversy between these two elements on tho assembling of Con gress. Stevens will then unquestionably lead off in his efforts to compel tiie adoption of his theo ries, which lie was unable to incorporate in the amendment at tire last session, while those who secured the adoption of this amendment by the last Congress stand pledged before the country to insist that that, and that alone, shall be the con dition of admitting the Southern representatives. : On this point tho iesuowill be made, on this rock the party must sooner or later split.” With all this, tho Herald urges the South to abandon the President and accept the proposed amendment. Wo beg to decline its acceptance. We prefer to let tho “ split" come; to hold of! and let the Radicals fight it out among them selves ; trusting and believing that every blow bestowed by one upon the other; every assault ; mado upon Stevens, Butler, & Company, by Sen r ator Wilson, Bepresentativc ConlcHbg, and Com pany, will give strength to the Conservative party, North, and end lu the attainment of" its | supremacy, over both tho Radical factions. Tim 'South has nothing to expect, nothing to hope’ for, in giving aid and comfort to either tif tho Radical factions. It certainly cannot accept tho proposed amendment. She must pass it by in silence, talking no action at all-upon it, or reject it by a vote of her Stale Legislatures. In a few more weeks the Legislature of our own State will be in session, when if any action at all lie taken upon the amendment, it will bo such, we predict, as will convince the Herald that its per- suasions have no effect upon Georgia.

Among the many little spiteful things that'rad icalism is publishing just now in regard to Pres ident Johnson, is the following, which comes from the direction of Chicago: Hon. W. H. Harndon, President Lincoln’s old personal and political enemy Lincoln during his entire administration. It is somewhat remarkable that this huge fact was not placed in possession of an interested public at an earlier day. Another rather singu lar thing is, that the very men who but a few months past were in the habit of slobbering Mr, Johnson all over with gratuitous and' fulsome eulogies are now his bitterest and vilest traduc- ers, some even going far enough to charge him with complicity in tho assassination of. Mr. Lin coln. It is not necessary to repeat at this day that up to the hour of Mr. Lincoln’s death, tlie personal relations between the first and second officers ot the government were of tlie kindliest character, and that their views upon all leading questions growing out of the war were in perfect accord. ' Men who have dabbled for years in tho dirty waters of political strife aTe not apt to be over- scrupnlous in the employment of instrumentali ties to effect their ends, but the course.of, the rad icals in their “present emergency’! is certainly without precedent or parallel in fori, history of tills country. It will do no good of course to say so, hut there arc no words in the English lan guage sufficiently adequato to express, the con tempt and utter detestation which every candid r- mind must feel for tho leaders oC a party wlio thus act while claiming to'absorb all'tlie moral-, ity, decency and patriotism of the land. Their system of abuse and misrepresentation in regard to the President dwarfs all previous efforts in that line, and should secure for them an“hnmoi-tnIity of infamy,” if nothing more. The Day Ibe Legislature la to Meet. Tlie Macon Telegraph of yesterday contains the following communication: Macon, Oct. 5, 1800. Messrs.

Or if. wo consider Com. gross In’lts proper light ot adcglslntufe, instead of a jury, it is itself in dartug rebellion against tho Constitution. The Constitution, in posltivo terms, forbids Congress to pass tuny ex post facto law, that Is, any law prescribing a different or greater punishment for any crime Ilian was in force at tho time it was committed. But tiie present Congress not only defies and violates this prohibition, but insist on a penalty which is so extremely e.r post facto,.that the Constitution itself must be altered before it can be inflicted. WALL STREET. _ •In ita financial article tlio World slates thatfall speculation jfor a rise In tho Btock market which lias beon so long oxpectcd,.fairly sot in this week, with a strength and . vigor which’ lias taken even tho KullS by surprise. For some weeks the num-. ber of outside buyers has been increasing, nnd nt no time since the spring of 1864 have stock ope rations been more widely scattered throughout the community iu this and neighboring cities, as well ns tbo country, than’at tho present time. A variety of causes havo tended to drive capital from fegltinrata trading and productive enterpri ses by rendering their profits small and uucer- s^MSs^rjLsniSs: rere, merchants, nnd dealers everywhere com plain of small profits; and, in many cases, con-; tinuous losses] Thoresuius a heavy accumula tion of unemployed lunds in the great money centro of New York, where tho idle capital can bo employed in speculative operations which promise and, hitherto, have realised,those speedy nnd large profits'not obtainable in legitimate .trading under the present unsettled condition of BtfAirs. Hence tlie number of business men, hank presidents, Cashiers and directors, all over tpe country, who are. inqre or less interested in Will street stock speculations. Hence the steady advancipg;tfinde^y;'9f gripes M the leading icks dealt in on the New York Stock Ex change, and tlie'rapidity with Whichtme stock of an increased demand: The quantity ol the leading railway shares floating in Wall street is niueh less than it used to be before the rebellion, rates for money range frofn 3 to 5 per cent, TIIE NATIONAL DEBT. ThC-TVines, referring to its,statement of’the] actual and approximate figures of the income and ^expenditures of the government for tiie first) quarter of tl)0 current fiscal year, whicli ended im’^nuirdayjjst, says that I he main inet^that more than one-half tho enormous lucdmo at th«! quarter—amounting to one hundred nnd sixty’ millions—has been devoted to the reduction of the principal of the public dobt, is emphatically the subjeqt of rejoicing. At this ratej say brio /percent, per month or 12 per cent, a year of the teritirepiiblic indebtedness, including the Treas ury circulation free of interest, tho problem of final extinguishment in qight or ten years will soon afford its own solutloh. And wri feel quite .'sure lhat the popular senitlpient in favor of the rapid reduction of the total, especially so far as it is made to bear a heavy interest charge per annum, is a growing one at tlie North, as wo be lieve it will be a universal oile iu tlie Southern States as their representation is gradually re stored to Congress. The -Times adds that, the administration of the finances by Mr; Secretary McCulloch is best measured by, its success, and its success best il lustrated ;lfy the practical figures before us. He if paying off tlie principal of the public debt at tlie rate of twenty-five millions por month,-and tend ing, in a consolidated gold-bearing shape', from thirty to fifty millions per. month addftibiial.—■ •The rate of interest in tho later operation is not ns cheap as he could have desired, nor as low as ave been requested to call attention of all concerned to tlie following provision of the > State, P 1 I new Constitution “ The first meeting of the General Assembly under this Constitution si ml I be on tlie first Mon day in December next, after whicli it shall meet annually on tho first Thursday in November, or . on such other day ns the General Assembly may ' prescribe.” No other day having been prescribed, tho first Thursday in November is the day of meeting. Very respectfully, Jno. B. Weems, Secretary of Senate. ScoousrioK- in Kind.—The San Francisco (Cal.) Examiner, referring to the speech delivered ; by Nye, Senator from Novada, at the last session, v recommending a general hanging of the Con- edcratc leaders,says: “A hempen cravat would be an appropriate ornament to the neck of any wretch, who maifcstasuch brutal blood-thirstiness s as is shown abovo, and would bo especially be coming to the burly throttle of the Senator from Nevada.” Receipts of Cotton at Mobile.—Tlie Atl- tertiscr & Register of tho 8d Instant says, tho receipts of cotton thus far have boen very light, not averaging over 250 bales por day. The •most unfavorable accounts roach us from nearly every portion of the South, indicating that the cottou crop will full ovon below tho most mod erate calculations. Not Dead.—Tlie report of tho death of Ex- Qovcmor Morchcud, of Kentucky, published a few days ago, was incorrect. He had a serious of iUaess a week or two ago, but has aojr Great Britain—though in Brazil the Senators are elected for'Mfa.

The gold itself, it is now! certain, 1 Will not be tyanting .whenever it is deemed proper and timely to restore the old standard. TJip present gold interest charge on the public debt is less than $80,000,000 a year. Tlie present revenues in gold are at the rjte ot $180,000,000 n year.— Before the former reaches its maximum by the funding process, say of one hundred and twenty millions, the later will have goue up to two liun- tfred and,twenty millions, SO that the Treasury, can command the annua] surplus of one hundred millions in gold or its equivalent in ita own legal tenders, for the work of resumption,, whenever that nnd higher considerations than the mere pride of discussing nnd anticipating the event, jshhll seem to render it, reasonable. THE FRENCH MANIFESTO. The Express considers this paper, though sign ed “Lavalettc” qs heaving upon its face un doubted evidence* of Imperial authorship. In the course of its article, the Express says that it may be taken for granted that while the “ man of destiny ” deems it good policy to folk pence, ho deems it equally sound policy, to bo proparod, if need be, to act war. Ho accepts tho situation, but ho stands 'by, his guns, ready so take advan tage of whatever now complications may from time to tima.grow out of llte new combinations, new alliances mid new treaties, resulting from tlio rccont conflict in Germany. Wo do not mean to be Understood os implying that tho Em peror is occupying this position, is unwise, tta re gards France, or is going to betray Europe into another war; we but desire to place in bold re lief'the call of tho nation to arms, which consti tutes his peroration os it were, with the peeans he sings to peace, all through his prologue. He must bo an adopt In tho mysteries of moral and political economy, who would venture to recon cile these curious but very characteristic antithe ses, and tho rationale of the whole matter, in our judgment is just this—that while it.ls for the in terest of Louis Napoleon anil France to keep on terms of friendship with their neighbors at pre sent, there is no telling how soon the time may come when that interest, whatever it is, may he best, served by a different lino of policy; in other words, keep tlio peace until we are better pre- K areil for war. Prussia at tills moment, it is pro- able, could bring into tho field, at short notice more fighting men Ilian France. Her artillery ulso embodies more of the modern Improve ments, and hence, until France lias more needla gnus aud a hotter army organization, tlie Conti nent may calculate upon peace—but just os soon os these wants are supplied, tlie chances ore ten to ouc, some convenient pretext for re-openlng the temple of Janus will be discovered. »*• fostart' Ittefi .*dV*vofe I ; liis.fecwre j I’revlow it, ns TXP FBJCS8. -STftM Kiport Dusjr. o of yotu; j NufyT’ Yo»K, (tat flta4ta«* '^ The ***** rcadera'Whd #•re Dot abte to attend.

Public sentiment has certainly .undergone.a change in. this .part of the State within the post fortnight.
