TUESDAY MORNING Oet.». VMlfi
The CoßttataUonai Amendment.
The New York tfrmlJ, some time
since, advised the Month, in the strong
est terms, to adopt the Constitutional
Amendment m the surest means of ae.
curing admission to Qte Congress of the
United States, That journal even inti
mated that President Johnson would
eventnally compromise with Congress on
this pla'farm, and that it* adoption by
every Southern State would settle the
whole question, and secure the recon
struction of the Union. Now the Her
aUI declares that the President will not
depart from the policy which he has
adopted in regard to the South, but that
he will, in his Annual Message to Con
grcea, urge the immediate admission ol
the Southern members, ami then the
adoption of an ameudment somewhat
similar to that proposed by Congress,
but much more modified and simple.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Shh makes a similar state
ment in his special dispatch, of the 30th
ulu, to that journal. He gives the Pre
sident's proposed amendment as fol
lows :
It is also understood that the Presi
dent will embody in his message, as a
suggestion to Congress, the two propo
sitions for amendments submitted last
winter in the reported conversation with
Senator Dixon. A corrected and revised
copy of the propositions fur amendment
is herewith sent, as follows:
u Representatives shall be appointed
among the several States which may he
included within this Union, according
to the numlier ol qualified male voters,
as prescribed by each State. Direct
taxes shall be apportioned among the
kt-veral States, which may he included
within this Uuiou, according to the
value of all property subject to taxation
in each State. This amendment not to
take effect until the census of 1870
shall have been taken."’
We are rather inclined to think that
these sentiments are correct. The
President’s policy is, first, that the
Southern States shall be admitted to
representation in Congress and then
any amendments to the Constitution
propo ed by the Congress, shall be
submitted to all the States for adoption
or rejection.
The Congressional policy requires the
passage of their proposed amendments
before the Southern States as a prece
dence to admission ; and in that amend
ment leave the door open for future and
adverse legislation.
In either case, we do not see that the
South gains anything of .importance. It
is very much like the Indian and the
white man who were to divide a turkey
and a buzzard, which they had shot,
between them. The latter said to the
former: “I will take the turkey and you
take the buzzard; or, you take the buz
zard and 1 will take the turkey.’’ “Dat
all souud mighty fiuc-l” said the Indian ;
•’but you never say turkey to me ary
time!” So it is with us. The North
says to the South: “You adopt a Consti
tutional Amendment, fixing the ratio of
represeutatiuu on the basis of actual
voters, and we will let you into Con
gress; or, we wilt le>. you iulo Congress
if you will adopt the Constitutional
Amendment, fixing the ratio of repre
sentation on the basis of actual voters. ’
It all “seem* migluy line," to bo sure,
but it never says “turkev'’ to the South
“ary time.” So between the two condi
tions, precedent to admission, it will
be observed that there is only “the
difference ’twixt tweedledum and twee
dledee”—one is spelt with more ease
(E's) than the other —the President’s
can lie adopted with a little more case
than the other.
In either case there is a hard pill to
swallow ; and withal, a determination on
the part of the North to force negro
suffrage upon the South, ft may' have
to come sooner or later. We may he
forced to yield to the terms of the con
queror, but we can never consent to ad
vise our readers to hasten that result by
any voluntary action of their own. It
would lie better for every interest and
for every section of the country, if the
question of reconstruction could be satis
factorily settled and Southern members
be admitted to their seaU In Congress;
but we believe that our people are not
yet prepared to sacrifice every principle
of honor by adopting unjust and hu
miliating terms of their own free will
and accord. When the Government
settles this question against us, we shall
have to submit, and to abide the conse
quences. Dot, if it is to he settled
against us, let the Government settle it
—not ourselves. It will be time enough
then.
Asa judicious and timely argument of
this subject, we publish this morning an
able letter from (iov. Sharkey, of Mis
isissippi, which we commend to the at
tention and perusal of our readers. It
discusses the question in a calm and
proper spirit, and docs it, we believe,
ample justice.
The Portland Transcript tells a story
llustratiug the thieving carried on at a
lire. It say* a man and his wife who
were burnt out and went over to the
Cape to hoard, on being shown their
room, found it furnished with their own
furniture.
Tuk A i.ahum. —The -National InltUi
gcuccr sounds the note ol warning. It
says: “A. project is on foot for the
overthrow of constitutional liberty in
the United States. We charge the class
of partizan zeaiots, known as Badieal
leaders, with compassing an early and
violent overthrow of the Government.
They know that this charge is true."
uthera School Books.
Stated in a brief local paragraph,
a lew day* since, that Mr. F.dmutuum,
•gent of Richardson A Cos., book p«b*
Ushers, of New YorV, was in oAr City*
The object of this visit is to introduce
the new series of Southern school books
into Southern schools—a series prepared
, bv and underthe auspices of the Faculty
of the well-known University ot Vir
rinia. The imprimatur of this old
established institution is an excellent
guarantee of the high character and
value of these books. They embrace a
variety of educational subjects, com
mencing with the littfo primer and
passing up through French and the
classic*, am) to he continued, we believe,
through all the departments of a com
plete educational series.
The enterprise is a grand one, and
has already received the endorsement
of several distinguished scholars and
publicists. It purposes a seriee ol
books which shall contain nothing of a
sectarian or sectional character, and be
entirely free from the misrepresentations
of our section, which contaminates so
many Northern school publications.
Thus, we have in the readers, a view of
a Southern cotton field, without the
crnel “driver” or overseer, holding his
lash ready to strike the trembling
slaves, pictures of Southern birds, a
pleasing picture of a con hunt, a Florida
forest, and others connected with South
cm sceues and Southern interests.
This is an important feature of itself.
If we are going to preserve our country,
our children should be taught the truth
—sectionalism should not be instilled
into their young iniuds ; atid misrepre
sentations of their section should not
be placed before them. Upon the
moulding of those minds depends the
character of the future men and women
of this country, and the perpetuity of
the Union. If we teach them truths
and patriotism, they will grow up moral,
truthful and patriotic. If we fail in
this, they become, instead, worthless
members of society, and dangerous poli
ticians and demagogues. How impor
tant it is, then, that we should secure
the proper books for our schools, at this
present juncture especially! And again,
another important consideration is, the
advantages of having a uniform series
of school books throughout the South.
Thus, for instance, il these Hooks were
adopted in all of our Southern schools,
a child, in changing school, would not
be required to change his books, and
be turned back to commence his
education all over again, while pa
rents and guardians would be saved
no little expense in the purchase of new
sets of books at every change of
school. A child from Virginia, in
going to Texas, would have to lose no
time in his studies, except that involved
in the passage from the one Stale to
the other; as he would find the same
books which he had been accustomed
to use, and thus be enabled to proceed
at the point from which he had left off
his studies in his former school.
Every parent and guardian has,
doubtless,expericnced thedifficulties and
expense attendant upon a change of
schools, nnd the injurious effect upon
the educational progress and intellectual
advancement of the child. To obviate
these difficulties and disadvantages, both
in an educational and pecuniary point
of view, is no small or unimportant con
sideration. The adoption of a uniform
series of books by all the schools would
effect the desired result. And, in addi
tion to these advantages, we are giving
encouragement to Southern Lnlent, and
directing it into practical and useful
channels. The'only objectionable fea
ture in the works alluded to, which we
have noticed thus far, is, that they are
not printed at the South. The reason
for this is, that in order to compete with
Northern publications in j.rice, it was
necessary to have them printed and
published as cheaply as those publica
tions are, and this could only be done by
giving the work to a Northern publish
ing house, which, in jioint ot typograph
ical execution, has done them ample
justice.
In thus approvingly alluding to the
particular series gotten up by the Vir
ginia University, we have no desire to
exclude or to underrate other and
equally valuable Southern publications
of a similar character. What our peo
ple need is a series, just such as these
purports to be—something that will not
misrepresent our section of the Union
and insnlt its people—something that
will be uniform by its general adoption
in every Southern school. Any work or
series of works that will meet these re
quisitions ought to receive the most
liberal encouragement from the South
ern people.
Beware ok Counterfeits. —We were
shown, yesterday, two counterfeit one
dollar United States Treasury notes, en
tirely new, and evidently sent to this
market for circulation. To a man of
average intelligence, who reads news
papers, and therefore has heard of tile
existence of counterfeits, these hills
present very little danger ; if is the poor
and ignorant classes of the community
who are most liable to he deceived.
These hills are printed from a badly
executed plate, on inferior paper, ami
with faintly colored inks. The treasury
seal in red is vury much more indistinct
than on the genuine note. L. E. Chit
tenden's signature is in finer stroked
letters, an l not near so black as in the
genuine. Tno rosette on the right, also,
round the digit I, is very imperfectly
executed. If persons will look at their
money at all, they need not he taken in
by such miserable trash, ihe detect
ives should boon the lookout.—-C/kir/es*

The Proposed Constitutional
Amendment.
t.r.rr** reosi uovioS'ok Ibabkky.
Wasiiisutox City, 5epU.17,1866.
Bit Excellency ft. G. Humphreys, Gov
ernor of Mississippi :
TV.ut Sir—The public prints inform
me that our Legislature is. to be con
vened in extra session on the 15fh of
October. The proposed amendment to
the Constitution of the United States as
a 1 ftli Article mav possibly be submit
ted to the Legislature for its adoption or
rejection, and as our Stale has had tio
opportunity of being heard through her
representatives on this interesting sub
ject. and ss the people of the State
have a right to know the opinions of
their representatives nil a question so
vitally important, I adopt this method,
the oolv one left me. of giving very
briefly the outline of the opinions which
I entertain in regard to this proposed
amendment. No doubt the good sense
of the l egislature will guide that hotly
to a correct conclusion, but the interest
I feel for the welfare and the dignity of
the State demand thnt I should not re
main silent when both are so deeply in
volved.
In the first place, I do not believe
the ainendiiieut was recommended by
two thirds of the Congress of the United
States. The Constitutional House of
Representatives consists of, members
chosen “by the people of the several
States,” and the Senate consists of “two
Senators from each Stute.” It is very
clear that a body not so composed, or
or in other words where a considerable
number of the States are excluded from
representation in both branches, is not
the Congress of the United States. As
well might any body of usurpers assem
ble and claim to be the Congress of the
United States. Each State has a right
to know that all claiming to be mem
bers possess the Constitutional requis
ites. Mississippi does not and cannot
know that the members who recom
mended this amendment, were constitu
tional members of Congress. Nearly
one-third of the States were excluded
from representation in both houses by a
majority of members who assumed to
be the Congress. If a majority may
thus exclude States from representation,
it is easy to perceive that it may go oil
in the work o‘ declaring Slates disloyal
and ia the exclusion of uni t r ies. until
Congress shall he made to consist only
of members from a lew ol the larger
States, with all others excluded. For
instance, New York arid Pennsylvania
may so manage as to control a majority,
and begin by excluding first one small
State,and then another, and soon, until
nil the legislative p< w.*r of the nation is
usurped and controlled by those two
States, and ultimately even by the
largest of lln-in.
When the Southern Suites adopted
the amendment abolishing* slavery, the
state of things was very different ; they
hud not elected or sent members to the
Congress which recommended that
amendment. But when this amendment
was proposed, they hud elected mem
bers who appeared at the proper time
and demanded to lie admitted, hut were
rejected. We are not, therefore, to be
told that we have recognized this as a
constitutional Congress.
But again : The President is a com
ponent part of the Legislative Depart
ment, and the Constitution declares
that “every order, resolution, or vote, to
which the concurrence of the Senate
and House of Representatives may he
necessary (except on a question of ad
journment), shall He presented to the
President,’’ etc. Nothing can take ef
fect, or he complete until so presented.
And the case is not altered because a
two thirds vote is required on amend
ments proposed; such resolution is not a
complete Legislative Act until so pre
sented. In no other way, except through
the President, can such resolution lie
communicated to the States. As the
proposed amendment was not submitted
to the President, it does not amount to
a recommendation. It is a nullity.
But. let us look, for a moment, at the
provisions ofthe proposed amendment.
The first section declares that “All
pers ms borb or naturalized in the United
States and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof; are citizens of the United
Stales, anil of the States wherein tliev
reside.” It then proceeds to prohibit
the States from making or enforcing
anv law “which shall abridge the privi
leges or immunities of citizens.” It
does uot say wnat are privileges and
immunities; that is left for the next
Congress to provide in virtue ofthe last
section, which declares “that Congress
shall have power to enforce, by appro
priate legislation, the provisions of this
article.’’ We may find Congress com
ferring “privileges aid immunities” on
one class to the exclusion of another
class; or wc may find Congress assum
ing absolute control over all the people
of » State and their domestic concerns,
and this virtually abolishes the State.
Perhaps any State that lias so little self
respect as to adopt the amendment de
serves no better fate.
The second section, if my construc
of it lie right, would probably exclude
one State from representation in Con
gress, as I suppose the number of male
negroes over twenty-one to be nearly
equal to the number of white males. It
is, therefore, a mere effort to force negro
suffrage upon us, whether we are willing
or not. Either do this or you shall have
no representation. It. is presumed that
our intelligent people would not hesitate
long in making their .choice.
The third section provides that no
person shall hold any office who may
have heretofore taken an oath to sup
port the Constitution of the United
States, and who afterwards engaged in
the rebellion, or who gave aid and com
fort to those who did engage in it. This
is a sweeping act of dislranchisement,
which would embrace, perhaps, a major
ity of our citizens ; for. there are proba
bly few who have not in some way or
other, taken an oath to support the
Constitution.
J'lveni those who opposed secession,
and engaged in the war only under
compulsion, would he embraced by this
provision, as well ns the man who had
given to a hungry soldier a meal’s
victuals'or a piece of bread; and also
all those who in charity, had given an
article Ol clothing to a suffering friend
or relative- in the army. Such a pro
vision would be so contrary to the
theorv of our Government, and so op
pressive! towards a very largo class of
the population of thu Southern States,
that it cannot bo supposed that those
who proposed it could have entertained
u hope that it would ho accepted. They
ou"bt to have known, too, that such a
provision was calculated to endanger
the ekfelcncc of the Government, as
involutions may alwujs be expected,
sooner or later, from acts which disfran
chised the enfranchised class, if the
people Cannot exclude unworthy or un
deserving men from office by the instru
mentality of the ballot-box, then they
are unlit for self govern mont, and the
sooner tl ey abandon the expi riuient the
better.
I need say nothing of the fourth sec
tion, hut the fifth is the Trojan horse
abounding in mischief. It proviso*
that “Congress shall have power to en
force, by appropriate legislation, the
provisions of this article,” which may be
construed to authorize Congress to do
whatever it may.desire tc do. Under
this same provision, attached to the
emancipation amendment, you hare the
Civil Rights bill nnd tho Freedmen’s
Bureau bill. It was construed in the
Senate, just ns I admonished many
members of the Legislature it would lie,
to authorize these odious measures. We
Should profit by the experience it has
furnished us.
I might have greatly extended my
argument in support of the many objec
tions to this amendment; hut have
deemed it sufficient very briefly to ex
press my own opinions, and to leave the
subject for the reflection of all who
may foel an interest in it. I will only
add that, should 'this amendment be
come part of tho Constitution, we shall
have a very different Government from
that which we inherited from our an
cestors. Very respectlully,
Your obedient servant,
W. L. Shsrkky.
