LAR8EST CIRCULATION III THE CITf AMD CDUiTY
TUESDAY JANttAIlY 30, 1800.
COX GUESS AX'D THE CONSTITUTION.
The Chairman of the Joint Committee on
Reconstruction reported, on the 23d instant,
an amendment to the Constitution, the prac
tical result of which will be, if adopted, to
abolish the present three-fifths slave repre
sentation in the Southern States, though it
will affect every State that dcpiivesany class
of persons of the elective l'ntucjfrp on ac
count of race or color. Tlie^rroposition
made by Mr. Stevens to pass the amendment
‘•before the sun went down” by a call for tlie
previous question, elicited finch a geueral
outburst of opposition, says the Washington
correspondent of the New York Times, that
the wary Pennsylvanian was taken aback,
and bis purposes completely foiled. There
was developed on the occasion referred to
an unexpected opposition to the amendment
umou“' those who had been counted its posi
tive friends, ami particularly an indisposition
to demand the previous question upon an
important change of the organic law ot the
country, without the usual opportunity for
and latitude of debate.
Mr. Stevens and his reckless supporters
supposed that the amendment, which they
consider so just in its operation, would read
ily command a two-thirds vote in the House
whenever presented. But the developments
which followed its presentation render it very
doubtful, ft is stated, indeed, that the
course of debate indicates such a diversity of
sentiment as may lead to the defeat of the
whole measure. Some of the radicals kick
against the amendment as resolutely as the
conservatives, on the ground that by impli
it acknowledges the suffrage lor reas.
ons violative of the Constitution and opposed
to the emancipation policy of the true lie
publican party.
The result of this flare-up in the Republi
can ranks has bee»4o constrain Mr. Stevens
to abandon his purpose “toforce his amend
meet through under the whip and spur of
the previous question and it may serve to
admonish him that a more piudent course in
regard to other amendments which he may
bring forward would be acceptable.
We welcome this incident at Washington
as indicating that there is still some of that
reverence for the constitution which has pre
served it iu years gone by in all its essential
features, as it was fashioned by our wise and
virtuous forefathers, when the nation was
characterized by a sense of honor and of
public obligation. In the earlier days of the
Republic the ordinary forms of legislation
were considered sufficiently binding, without
a constant resort to the higher and extraordi
nary forms. Has this nation lost its former
sense of honor and obligation ? Has it be
come; so demoralized as no longer to respect
tbe ordinary form3 of law ? Can it be trusted
to respect and obey nothing but what is com
prehended in the sacred enclosure ot that
highest of all human covenants—a constitu
tion ? If it has reached that point of demorali
zation, then it is bordering on that condition
in which the moral sense is obliterated and
no obligations, however sacred, will be able
to bind it. There are no less that twenty
propositions now pending before Congress
to alter the constitution. When the people
arc thus taught by their political leadeis that
there are no guarantees to be trusted but
those incorporated in the constitution, they
will soondepise ordinary laws. When they
throw down this first barrier, the second and
last barrier will not be long in yielding to the
pressure which is now being brought to bear
upon it. When the first is broken-down and
despised, the last will not long be regarded
as sacred.
We thiuk our national law-makers should
pause in their rash career, and give some
heed to the Fathers of the Republic. Let us
retain a modicum, at least, of their con
servatiam. We are too prone iu this, the
prime and flush of what is ambitiously call
ed a “new era,” to depart from their example
and teachings. Our past success is due to
their wisdom, and as we begin to realize the
success, wc forget them and their simple
ways, and puffed with arrogance, claim for
ourselves the credit that is due to them. We
throw down the barriers they so carefully
erected; we overleap the limits they so wise
ly assigned to us. Before this impatient,
rash and unregulated spirit of progress, all
the ancient and venerable land-marks are
fast disappearing. The very constitution it
self, designed as a, sanctuary, is losing that
respect in the rnitfds of the American people
which, in times past, amounted to a sort of
superstitious reverence.
A ; President Johnson has justly said, these
frequent amendments were calculated to
weaken the force and solemn sanction of that
sacred instrument, and make its provision
like the work of town meetings. If we
would preserve among the people a rever
ence far law, we must preserve that scale
and gradation of law which ascends from
municipal ordnances of a town to the august
constitution of the country. ’
Cultivation of tub Palka-Chkista ok Cas-
tok Bban—We invite the afteulioncspecial-
ly of planters to the communication of Mr.
I- W. Gregory; in our paper this morning on
the subject of the cultivation of Palma
Christa or Castor Bean. It.wil! be seen that
Mr. Gregory proposes tb furnish seed to those
who desire to go into th^ culture^)! the plunt
and to contract in advance -for the crops A
raised. The exhibit made bj&liiro demon
strates beyond a doubt the profitableness of
the crop, and a9 the plant in our climate
flourishes on poor and worn out land with
very little cultivation aud does not re
quire fencing, it seems to us that Its culture
iu the manner proposed offers ]>eculiar in
ducements in the present condition of our
labor system. We commend the subject to
the attention of our planting iriends in tbe
hope that they may be induced to give it a
rftl. Matt3 r whose landB have been stripped
of fences and improvements, and whose
straightened circumstances will not admit of
their going extensively into the cultivation
of cotton, could for the next year at least,
make a trial of the castor bean with bucIi la
bor as is at present available with a reason
able prospect of success.
We shall take an early opportuuity to lay
before our readers such information in refer
ence to the best mode of cultivating the
castor bean as we may be able to obtain.

Mischievous Misrepresentation.
A few days since we met the following
paragraph iu the editorial columns of the New
York Tribune:
A letter has been received at Washington
lrom A. H. Stephens, in which he states that
the condition and persecutions of Union men
in Georgia are at this time vastly worse than
ouriug the days of the rebellion.”
And in a Washington letter published in
the Times of Wcdneeday last we find the fol
lowing:
“The Reconstruction Committee is going on
with the examination of witnesses concern
ing affairs at the South. It has been reported
that a letter is before the committee from Al
exander H. Stephens of Georgia, expressing
the opinion that the political condition of the
South is not such as to warraut the admis
sion of Southern members.”
It is scarcely necessary to say that in botli
these paragraphs Mr. Stephens is grossly
misrepresented. We venture to assert that
lie has never written a line to any individual
iu Washington or elsewhere that would bear
any such interpretation. We have reason
to know i hat he entertains no such opiuions,
and we regard it as ungenerous as it i9 un
just, at this time, to associate his name with
such gross misrepresentations ot fact lor par-
lizan purposes.

Washington, Jan. 28.—The President, to- 1 “ wU1 keep the halrfr ° mfa,Hng “ L
day said to certain distinguished Senators
ihat the agitation of the negro franchise
question in the District ot Columbia, at this
time, was merely the entering wedge to the
agitation ot the question throughout the
States, and was ill-limed, uncalled for aud | and take no other,
calculated to do great harm.
He believed that it would engender enmi

races, aud would lead to a war between
them which would result iu great injustice to
both and certain destruction to the negro
population.
Precedence, he thought, should be given

Hon. A. II. Stephens and the V. S. Sena
torship
By a telegraphic despatch received from
Milledgeville last night—the largest portion
ol' which was so botched in the transmission
over the wires that we can make no sense of
it—we learn that the friends of Hon. A. H.
Stephens have determined to run him for the
long term Senalorship, regardless of his
wishes or feelings.
We gather, very vaguely, from the same
despatch that a bill has been introduced in
tiie Senate to relieve "bank officers from per
sonal liabilities and authorizing the banks to
repudiate all debts contracted for war pur
poses.
Interesting Interview at the Presiden
tial Masion.—At the time of the annual
meeting last week, of the American Coloniz
ation Society, in .Washington, a delegation
of the society, embracing some twenty mem
bers, waited upon the President to tender
him the assurance of their confidence and
support in the momentous and embarrassing
duties that rest upon him.’
J. H. B. Latrohc,' Esq., the President of
the Society, introduced the delegation, and
in his remarks connected with the Society,
expressed the belief t(iat it was iu a sep .ra
tion ot' the negro from the white race that
the best mode of bettering the condition of
the colored people was to be found.
President Johnson replied with emphasis,
that they should haw a fail trial where they
are. He affirmed the views on the subject
as they are embraced in the message, and
declared that wbntever might be bis convic
tions in regard to negro suffrage in the Dis
trict of Columbia and Tennessee, he was
firmly opposed to forcing such suffrage upon
the States by national legislation. Tbe dis-
tiuct impression was left that he was not
frieudly to indiscriminate negro suffrage in
this District.
