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.

FROM CANADA.
[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.

! THE GREAT SOLAR ECLIPSE
TODAY.
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

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
