HOW TO OBTAIN THE HERALD REG ULARLY. We often haw complaints from tesidents of Savan reb and HUton Head th-t they are not able always to obtain tbe Basis. The demand is sometimes ao ftre.it as to exhaust an Edition very soon afVr tu lasue. and those who wi»b to have tha Heitiin regularly, sboald subscribe for it. We have faithful Carriers in Savannah and at Hilton Head, and through them we tiwava serve regular subscriofr* first. THE PRESIDENT O.X THE TEST OATH. We published a few days since a letter ad dressed by some of the citizens of Virginia, to President Jotmson, respecting some of tbe difficulties which have presented themselves in relation to the Congressional elections in that State, and to steer clear ot them they appeal to him for counsel and advice. Net knowing whether the tert oath will be re pealed or modified so as to admit Southern members, they bftVe tbou, •» it p s-ible lie might give them ealisiacloiy : .formation ot. tbe subject. Tuey express the defte to pur sue that course which will be most likely t< eustaiu him and his policy in the administra tion ot the Government. The President re plies through Attorney General Speed that he has no means of knowing what Congress may do in regard to the oath, about which they enquire, than any other citizen; hut hopes that loyal and true men may be elected to Cougiess, to whom no objections can be ni3de. We heartily concur with the President in his prudent recommendation to the people of Virginia to select men whose autecedenls are least obnoxious to the Union sentiment of country, but we question very much the constitutionality of the lavr prescribing the oath referred to. Article Ist, section 2d, oi the Constitution of the United States provides that ‘-No person shall be a representative who shall not have nttained the age ol twen ty-five, and been seven years a citiz nos the United States, and who shnll not, when elected, be an inhabitant of the State in whici. be shall be elected.' 1 This is the only c uuse which relates to the eligibility of members, _ but the law of Congress, passed in 1802, prescribes that in addition to what the Con stitution requires, the member must be able to take the prescribed oath. He may be elig ible according to the Constitution, but not • according to this law, for which there is no warrant in the Constitution. The sixth artieje of the Constitution pro vides that;, “the Senators and Representatives before mentioned and the members of the State Legislature and Executive and Judiciary Officers of the United States and of the sev eral States, shah l>e bound by oath or affirma tion to support this constitution ; but no re ligious test shall ever be required as a quali fication to any office or public trust under ihe United States.” From these extracts it is apparent that the constitution itself defines the qualifications of members of Congress, and there is uo clause in that instrument which confers upon Congress the power to add or to change them. We have seen the authority to do this, based upon that clause which says that “each House shall bo the judge of elections, qualifications and returns ol its own mem bers,” but we cannot believe that any saue person seriously believes that that clause confers any legislative power whatever upon Congress. A number of laws of doubttul constitution sdiiy were passed,and -acts performed during the war for which the terrible crisis then upon the country was plead as a Justification. The suppression of the rebellion aud the pre servation of the life of the nation were re garded as paramount to constitutional ob stacles aud much was sanctioned then by the people whicu would not have beeu tolerated beyond the wai. lathis light there may have beeu a necessity lor this law at the time ot its enactment, but that necessity has now passed away, and tue people aud tlieir repre sentatives should now be disposed to treat the matter in '.be light of reason This is not a matter whicu c mcOrcs the Booth exclusively. It concerns the whole Country. For It the law ot 1862 is Conoiilu '■tioual, the Congress has the power to enact that no Free Mason, Odd Feiiow, Feniuu, Know Nothing, or member oi any seere order shall ever be admitted to Congress. The following is tue oath prescribed by the last CoDgresa, aud taken by every one ot its members with the exception oi Senator Bayard of Delaware, w ho preferred to resign his’ position rather than to do so. 1 (A. B ) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that 1 have never voluntarily borne arms against tbe United States since 1 have beeu a citisen thereof; that I have voluntarily given no aid, Countenance, counsel or en couragement to persons engaged in armed hostility thereto ; tb&t I have neither sought, nor accepted, nor attempted to exercise the functions of any office whatever under any du hontjr or pretended authority in hostility •to the United Stales ; that I have not yield ed a voluntary support to any pretended government, authority, power or constitu tion witniu tbe Uuited Stales, ho-ti.o or bu rn cat thereto ; and 1 do further swear (or affirm) tuat, to the best of my knowledge aud ability, I will support and defend tue Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic ; tuat I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same ; that 1 take this obligation freely,' without any mcmal reservation or purpose of evasion, aud that I will well and laithiuliy discharge the duties of tue office ou which I am about to enter, so help me God.

[Special CorrespuuAtiice cf the aarannah Husain.; Montreal, Oct. 2, 18*5. The chilling blasts of the antumal winds now begin to be felt in this Northern lati tude. .The warm season for 1805 is now over. Within ihe last two weeks the influx of tourists from the many Southerly c.imes has diminished to almost nothing. VISITORS FROM THE SOUTH. The passenger lists and hotel registers show that a larger proportion of the editors here are from the Southern States. One here meets frequently Irieudi from Savau uab, Augusta, and other points in Georgia. It sometimes appears strange to the Cana dians how a people who have been shut up and suffered tbe privations and losses the Southern people have, should be able to ap pear so well, and above all, manifest so little bitterness of feeling towards their Northern brethren. As was frequently the remark during the war, the female portion of the population are tenfold more bitter in their hostiliy towards the North than the men. Frequently on the cars and steamboats, travellers will be entertained by animated desertations from the fair wives and diiugli ters of Southern tourists on the bravery and gallantry of the “Confederate officers.” using the term Yankee with considerable vim— ,»erkai» more than would be us.d on the other side of the boundary line. As ali this does no harm, very little feeling other than Amusement, is felt by those of the race so tigmatized as happen to be within ear -h t of the musical voices of the fair speakers- THS FEKLINO OS ANNEXATION'. It is very»evident that the result ot the war has had the eff Ct to greatly increase the re spect toward the United States felt by the Canadians. That to become part of the Uni ted States' nation would greatly enhance the prosperity of Canada, is fully believed by the majority of the enterprising people.— Their business is largely derived from their intercourse with the United States; their connections with that country, by easy and rapid communication, bind the two countries together. They see, that to become prospe rous, tney must be under a government that fosters a spirit of enterprise among the peo p e by liberality of its educational systems, by giving every encouragement to industry. They see, that with the enormous capital hey can command, American enterprise can successfully compete with it. This is illus trated by the success of the Graud Trunk Railway, which was constructed at an enor mous expense, and is indeed a magnificent road. Yet, a traveller cannot fail to note the contrast in the amount of business be tween it and the rival roads running through tug United States with uo better advantages. ACCIDENTS. Canada is not exempt from the catalogue of railroad nccidents. The steamboat “Pass port," of the Royal Mail line, while attempt ing to run the rapids last week, struck on a rock and sunk in a few minutes. This makes the third steamer sunk in the St Lawrence within a few week 9, causing a number of lives to be los; two accidents on tbe (jlrand Trunk Railway in which two lives were lost. INLAND NAVIGATION. There is considerable talk of enlarging the Canal around the LaChicn Rapids so as to admit the large European steamers. This, with the opening of the canal lrom Lake Michigan to the Illinois river a ud thus open navigatiou to the Mississippi, would form the grandest system of Inland navigation the world has ever known, ‘ CORRUPTION. The Boston papers, in the interest of the Republican party, are bewailiug the want of tack and management in the Connecticut election. The Commonwealth states that the election was suffered to go by default, uud deploies the fact that corruption was not used to ensure the success of the Republi cans. It is a bad sign when such means of securing party ascendency is unblusliingly recommended. That paper says : But it is not simply the majority of voters of Connecticut that are in fault tor this hu miliating result. The Republican State Com mittee, aside from issuing an address on the subject, literally did nothing to secure a dif tereut vote. There was nu canvass what ever—not even a speaker, so far as we can learn, was put into the field: This most im portant issue—worth a score of ordinary party conflicts—was suffered to go to trial without •preparation, nnd without the pie seutatiou of evideuce ou the purl ol its friends. We have known the State Committee of Connecticut to storm Boston, hat in hand, for dollars by the thousand, to carry some contemptible office-seekers into place ; but here, when the destinies of a continent may W affected by the result, not a cent was asked, nor a speaker invoked, to lend aid to the great obj< ct. PekxsylVama Election.—The following is the latest figures relative to this election : Tbe Pittsburg Gazette, ot the 13tli, says the new House of Representatives will con sist of silty-six Republic ms and tnirty-four Democrats. It may possibly vary one or uvo troin this hut not more. Os eleven Sen ators elected eight are Republicans aud three Democrats. Tue L' gi-lature will eland— S.na e, twenty Republic ms, thirteen Demo crats ; House, sixty six Republicans, lhirty lour Democrats. On joint ballot, eighty-six Republicans, forty-seven Democrats. Leading politicians, who have been careful ly noting tue vote cast on Tuesday last, put ciowu General Hartrauifs majority iit not less than 23,000. The Rolling Stock of So cm cun Rail roads.—A rpecial Washington telegram to tbe Baltimore Sun says that in respect to the important matter of the sale of the rolling stock of ihe Government upon Southern rail roads, it cun be said upon authority tlmt the President has directed that the stock upon the Southeastern road* may be held uud used by tbe Companies with one year’s credit. This will enable the stockholders to make arraugements to repair tbeir roads, aud maiutaiu them intact. Important Proclamation from the Gov ernor of West Virginia.— Governor Bore man, of West Virginia, has issued an impor tant proclamation in reference to the efforts ot “‘evil disposed and seditious persons in the County of Jefferson" to incite the people there to resistauce of the laws of West Vir ginia, by holding elections of delegates to the Geueral Assembly of Virginia, claiming that county to be iu the State of Virginia. The Governor orders the arrest of all parties of fending, and calls upon the Uuited States mili'ary authorities to aid the civil authori ties to prevent such election. Immense Revenue Frauds.—A despatch from Nashville, dated Oct. it, says: Immense frauds in tbe revenue hare been discovered here. Tbe U. S. Revenue Col lector for Cincinnati reached here yesterday, to investigate. A largo liquor house Ims swindled the Government out of $150,000, but will be compelled to retund at once, or pay $200,000. \ AI.CABLE Testimony. —Procure at nny Druggist’s one of Mrs. 8. A.

Its Time, Extent and Accompanying Phenomena. I Wit IT THE ALMA VACS SAX ABOUT IT. To-day, Thursday October 19th, 186.., nu annular eclipse of the suu will occur, and our city of Savannah w ill lie so uear the path of the centre of the eclipse as to make it, at this place, a phenomenon of rare occurrence* and great interest. As it is not very iikeiv that many of our citizens will ever again have an opportunity of viewing either an an nular or a total ec Ipse of the sun under such favorable circumstances, we give ail tbe in formation in reference to its exact tine, its extent, Ac., that is at present accessible to us. Our data are derived chiefly from the “Confederate States Almanac for tire year 1865," published at Mobile, by H. C. Clarke; the astronomical calculations prepared by Thomas P. Ashmore of Americus, Georgia, and from Miller's Almaifac for 1865. « Tbe eclipse will begin at this place at 14 minutes after 8 o’clock, a. m. The greatest obscuration will be at 6 minutes before 10 o’clock, and it will end al 39 minutes past | 11. Eleven and one-sixth digits of the sun will be eclipsed at this place, leaving only a very thin ring of light around the dark !of the moon. At Columbia, S. C., where the ' eclipse will be central, 11 1-2 digits of ti e suu will be covered, and in the neighborhood of Rome, G i., the eclipse will also be cen tral. Should tbe day be a clear one, this will be a magnificent and grand spectacle—one that cannot fail to impress the beholder with the awful graudeur of the universe and the om nipotent majesty of Him who controls the movements of the heavenly bodies. But should tbe day be rainy or stormy, we will probably see mid-day turned into night; the combined darkness of the clouds and the eclipse will make it necessary to use candles to lead by, and unreasoning animals will act ns if night had overtaken them out of season. We copy from the Coufederate States Al manac ; “Iu many respects this will be the most remarkable of eclipses that will occur iu the United States (luring the present century. It will be annular; that is, the apparent size of the moon will not be large enough to cjuctal the whole disc of the suu. Therefore, at all places where the eclipse will be annular, the edge of the sun, all around the dark body of thei moou, will resemble a red bot riug ot iron. If the air be clear, Bcveral planets and fixed stars will be visible iu different parts of the sky at the time of the auuular eclipse. The planet Venus will be seen about 30 deg. west of the sun. The planet Jupiter will be seen about CO deg. east, of him, aud Regulus will be seeu about CO deg. west of him. Ursa Major near the north pole of the heavens,ami Spica about 11 deg. west ot lire sun, and Aicturus about 80 deg. north of him. and many others in different parts of the hea vens will be distinctly visible to the nuked eye, it the air be very sereue. “Not many pdtsous have had an opportun ity of seeing the sun either totally or uuuu lariy eclipsed ; therefore, all the particulars of "this eclipse have been calculated wiiji much prolixity and care, in order that aj 1 persons who will then be. living may witness a grand phenomenon of nature, which in all probability they will never witness again." The eclipse is thus designated in Miller’s Almanac: “An Annual Eclipse of the Sun, October If visible in South Carolina and adjacent States. Begins at Charleston, Bli. 20 in. Os. A.*M.; Greatest obscuration, #h. 55m. 15s. A. M.; Ends, lib. 47m. 15s. A. M. At Columbia, 8. C., Bb. 13m. A. At; Greatest obscuration, 9b. 47ui. A. M.; Ends lib. 38m. A. M. At Savannah, Uu., begius Bis. 14ui. A. M ; Greatest obscuration, 9b. 52m. A. M ; Ends, lib. 30m. A. M. The central line of this eclipse—that is the path on the earth iu whicu, if the ob server is situated, he will see the centre of tbe moon to pass over the centre of the sun will pass very nearly through Jefferson City, Missouri, Nashville, Tenn. aud Charleston, S. C- By laying a ru’e ou the map, with the edge upon these cities, one may see where the line will pass at intermediate’ points. Ou each side of the central line, to the distance of ninety miles, the eclipse will appear us annular, that is, at the greatest obscuration e moon's ditc will be surrounded by u ring .' tbe sun's disc. Tne eclipse will be seen as annular throughout South Carolina, ex cept a few Districts in the Northeast portion of the Stute, over Georgia, except the South western part, in the Western part of North Carolina, and in other States or portions of States lying within the limits thus described. Beyond these limits the ec ipse will be cres cent, aud of less magnitude as we recede on either side from the Central line. The cen tral ec ipse begins iu Washington Territory, United States, near the Pacific Ocean, iu Latitude North, 46 degrees, 58 seconds.— Longitude, 43 degrees, 54 seconds West, from Charleston, and from thence across the Con tinent in nearly a straight line, entering the Atlantic near Charleston, and terminating iu Latitude 16 degrees, 23 seconds, and Longi tude East, 72 degrees, 58 seconds from Charleston." TUe Return of Civil Law. The return ot civil law throughout the w hole laud is not far distant. The wishes and desire of both the President aud the Liouleaaut-Generul are in perfect acc ird on this subject. Recently there was quite a conflict of authority iu Kentucky between the military aud Civil authorities. The former was backed up by the Secretary of War the latter by the President. The fol lowing proclamation will show that even Cabiuet officers have got to stand aside when the President knows be is right: Proclamation Abolishing Martial Law* Iu Ktntacky. Whereas —By n proclamation of the sth day nt July, 1864, tiie President of the United States, when the Civil war was fla grant, aud when combinations were iu pro gress iu Keutucky for the purpose ofinciting insurgent ruids into that Stale, directed that the proclamation suspending the privilege of tiie writ oi Habeas Corpus should be made effectual iu Kentucky, and that martial law should be established there aud contiuued until said proclamation should be revoked or modified ; and whereas, since then the dan ger from insurgent raids into Kentucky ha 9 substantially passed away, now, tbereiore, be it known that I, Andrew Johnson, Presi dent of the United States, by virtue of the authority vested iu me by the constitution, do hereby declare that the said proclamation of the fifth day of July, one thousand eight huudred and sixty-tour, shall be and is here by modified in so far that martial law shall be no longer in force iu Kentucky from and after the date hereof. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused ths seal of tbe United States to be affixed.
