ffijt Ja'ilji LARGEST (*T\ CIRCIXATION. AUOttBTA . OA.I 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* lon Daily Newt. Dancing.

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. Hr. Davis’s Counsel in Search of the United States Court.

E. F. Lawson. Esq.: My Lear Sir: —Your letter of the 19th inst., asking me whether I would allow my name to be used lor re elec tion to the judgi ship of this Circuit, and urging me on your own beliall, and that of several of your friends, to do so, has just been received, and I reply at once, to thank you and them for the kind interest manifested in iny favor, and to say that 1 will, Deo voleule , serve the district for another term if re-elected. The many warm assurances I have received from all parts of the circuit that my judicial administration has giv en satisfaction, together with the very complimentary action of the Grand Jury of your county and also of mine, urging me to allow the use of my name for re election in January iiext. has given me heartfelt gratification, and will live ever green in my memory. If I have been successful in my earn est attempt to administer the law with a just hand, I feel that I am greatly in debted to the enlightened jurors and citizens of this district who have nobly sustained me. If 1 have attained to any degree of proficiency as judge in the ad justment of legal questions, I owe it mainly to the able bar over which 1 pre ttide, whose learning uud lucid discus sions lmvegreatly relieved mylabqrs and facilitated iny conclusions.
