Tie Ooaatitotioa&l Amendment
One of the first measures, probably,-
which will be brought before the l-egir.
lalure, at it* next session, will be the
Constitutions! Amendment. We have
no fenrs that it will pass. The Presi
dent of the Senate and the Uopresenta
tires from this count;, we know, will
oppose it, and we are sure that all or
nearly all of their feljow -member* agree
with them in this The fact is,
there are but few members of Southern
Legislatures who can conscientiously
and consistently rote for it. If they do,
they not only stultify themselves, but
record themselves as perjurers and out
laws. To do this would be the most
egregious folly, and the most lasting
disgrace —not only an injustice to them
selves individually, but ah insult to the
honor and manhood ot the State. Hence,
in the hands of the Georgia Legislature,
we feel that the honor and integrity of
Georgia are safe.
In those of the Southern Legislatures
which have acted upon it, the spirit and
determination of the South on this point
are well displayed. In Tennessee, the
first to act upon it, by the infamous
trickery of Governor Brownlow, it was
passod throug the Legislature, unconsti
tutionally and illegally. In Texas, it
has been repudiated. In Mississippi, it
was merely read, by courtesy, and no
action taken upon it. And this will be
its fate in every other Southern State.
It is true that some of our Conserva
tive friends at the North have advised
its adoption by the people of the South,
as the only hope of an early adjustment
of impending difficulties; and that
some of our enemies have threatened
the most dire vengeance if they do not
adopt it; but, while we are grateful for
the friendship ot the Conservatives, we
have no fear of the Radicals, and have
too much regard for our own honor,
and respect for the President, to heed
the adviee of the one party, or the threats
of the other.
The telegraph asserts that President
Johnson contemplates no change in his
reconstruction policy; and to desert
him, would be a dishonor which the
South will never inflict upon itself.
We counsel no violent measures, no
armed resistance, no revolutionary con
duct. It would be foolishness in us to
do so. We are a conquered people,
and must submit to the will of the con
queror with all the patience and humil
ity that we possess. But to fasten dis
grace upon ourselves, either through a
pusillanimous desire for place and
power, or a cowardly fear of personal
insult aud iniurv. is no* to be expected
o: us, and ought > he equired ot
>• US. '
• The New York World in an article
on this subject, says:
“ New York will elect Hoffman if the
Southern States stand firm in their op
position to the ratification of the Consti
tutional Amendment. Before the elec
tions us Tuesday last we thought his
prospects by no means flattering. Now,
we think that if Hoffman—the gallant,
whole-muled, lion-hearted friend and
advocate of the President’s policy, shall
be defeated, he will owe his defeat to
the fickleness of the Southern people.
Nothing else than their desertion of the
President ou the question of restoration,
or the failure of the President to adhere
to his own policy,*can prevent the grow
ing Conservatism of lhe Northern peo
people from resulting in a triumph of
the Conservatives in the Empire State.”
This is good advice, and will be fol
lowed by the people of the South.
Prentice, of the Louisville (Ky.) Jour
nal, also takes the right position on this
question, and thus forcibly and elo
quently enforces his opinions :
“ The, Radical majority in Congress
will assume and exercise the right of
dictating terms of admission to the
Southern States. Os this, at least, there
can be no doubt. In view of such dic
tation, what is the duty of the Southern
States ? Is it their duty to accept terms,
thereby acknowledging the right of Con
gress to dictate to them, and acquiescing
in their own degradation as members of
the Union ? In other words, is it their
duty to dishonor themselves ? We need
not answer this question. It answers
itself; and, in our opinion, the answer
outweighs all imagined or imaginable
considerations of expediency. Volun
tary submission to wrong is, in the end,
the most fatal inexpediency. Dishonor
can never be expedient.
u With respect to the amendment
abolishing slavery, the honor of the
Sooth was saved by the President’s
disclaimer of all authority to exact the
ratification as a condition of admission.
He acknowledged that the rights of the
Southern States in the Union were
perfect without conditions or guaran
ties. He dictated no terms. He ad
vised and pressed the ratification as a
measure -of policy only. He did not
demand it as of right, he simply recom
mended it as politic.
“ Very different is the action of Con
gress, which, taking up the matter where
the President rested it, demands as
of right, further and most offensive
concessions. It dictates terms to the
State* expressly as a conqueror to the
conquered. It claims the authority to
exact whatever it pleases. Acqui
escence in the claim is abandonment oj
every right. Submission to such dicta
tion is renunciation of (Stalehood. Con
cession to this demand ts self-destruc
tion. It ts in truth not merely self-de
struction, but national destruction ; for,
with the poison of such a president in
'he veins, the nation would rush in&dk*
to ruin.
“ But, it may be asked, what can we
do ? Toward the Federal Government,
the Southern States, in our judgment,
should maintain patiently, at any rote
as patiently as they can, their present
attitude of dignified and lawful applica
tiou for admission to their places in the
Union. In this relation, if they cannot
do better than sign their own death
warrant as States, we would have them
do nothing, except behave themi#lves.
Wo would have them observe a ‘ master
by inactivity.’ Let them stand erect at
Jbe doors of the Union as they now
stand. It is had to be kept waiting,
but it ia worse to l>e admitted as serfs.
There is no future lor self-contempt.
It sinks beyond, the reach of resurrec
tion." j %
We have, p-rbag*«aid mate on this
subject than if "nccesfary In this jlat>
tude ; but ere want our peoplaaet rigid
before the country ; we want it known
that u is in uo mare factious spirit that
the South rejects the Constitutional
Amendment hut only from a high sense
of honor and manhood, a noble desire
to sustain the President and her true
friends, and a determination to keep her
plighted faith to support the Constitu
tion of the United Stales.
Th* Coixtt Court.*— The annexed
paragraph from the presentment of. last
week, contains the opinion of the Grapd
Jurors, of Fultoa county, in reference to
the County Courts
“ As conservators of the public weal,
we felt it our duty to look into tho
workings of the County Court, not de
signing any reflection on the conduct of
the administrative or executive officers
of that Court; but viewing it sifhply in
the light o( ks benefit and evils, we feel
constrained to recommcud its abolish
ment at the earliest practicable period.
Whilst this Court has answered the
purpose of a ‘ break-water ’ for the
Superior Court, and been effective in
the pttnishment and suppression of
crime, it is, nevertheless, under tho
present system, an insupportable bur
then to an already impoverished and
heavily taxed people. In lieu of this
Court, a system by which the lighter
offenses against the law can be tried
and disposed of at once, without the
necessity of filling our jails for months j
at a heavy daily expense to the people,
is most respectfully recommended to the
consideration of our legislators.”
Listen’crs.—There is something in
these thoughts: Golden opinions ate
often to be gained by discreet silence.—
Some people delight exceedingly to hear
themselves talk, but above all things are
captivated with the respectful attention
of a steady listener; aud whoever has
the patience to sit and hear them out—
that is, not absolutely to wait until they
stop of their own accord—for perhaps
there is no authenticated instance of
anything of the kind—but, until some
thing occurs to intetrupt them, obtains
their good will far more certainly than
if he had communicated to them a vast
variety of important information or taken
a world of pains to correct their mista
ken notions. A character for the most
engaging modesty falls inevitably to him
who possesses the power of holding his
tongue ; the praises of his discernment
are everywhere sounded ; nay, he often
acquires a reputation for conversational
abilities; it is true, with regard to the
latter point, that doubts are sometimes
expressed by some w ho have been whole
nights in his company without hearing
him utter more than a few syllables; but
the interminable talker—the never fail
ing patron of silent gentlemen—forgetful
of his own fame in his zeal for that of
his client, declares that good talents for
conversation do not consist in the multi
plication of sentences, but in speaking
succinctly to the purpose. Advantages
more substantial than favorable regards
do also frequently accrue to the posses
sion of this qualification ; it were end
less to recount how many large fortunes
have been secured by persons, male and
female, in the fifth, sixth, and seventh
degrees of kin, who, day after day, for
years, had the fortitude to submit their
ears to the recital of the same stories
and remarks from an old invalid bache
lor relation.
Health vs. Sewing Machines.— At
a late silting of the Paris Academy of
Medicine, Dr. Guibout read a paper ou
sewing-machines and the injurious ef
fects on the health of needle-women.
He stated that oue day he had two con
sultations on the matter, the patients be
ing unknown to each other, and belong
ing to different establishments. One ot
them declared that before she went there
she was plump and rosy, but that now,
after working at the machine for seven
or eight months, her health had been
declining. She added that many of her
companions were in the same state.
The other patient was a strong woman
of a full habit, who complained that she
was obliged to quit her establishment
because she felt her health beginning to
give way. She stated that such was the
effect of the sewing-machine on the
women employed there that there was a
constant change of hands, healthy wo
men comiDg in, and sick and debilitated
ones leaving. It appeared from the dis‘
cussion which followed that the machine
was not injurious to men, or to females
that were not constantly at work at it.
The Jews in Russia. —ln former dayH
Hebrews were strictly exclndcd from the
interior of Russia, but the present Era
peror has greatly modified the restriction
for the purpose of attracting Hebrew
immigration. The consequence is that
the Isrealites are (according to recent
accounts) pouring in large numbers into
the government of Kief, where tl ey ba
take themselves to agriculture, The
Gazelle of the provinces (quoted by an
exchange) says that three hundred aud
fifty-five Hebrew families have settled
on the Crown domains, consisting of
two thousand seven hundred and twenty
nine males, two thousand six hundred
and twenty females, all of whom are en
gaged in farming. Besides these forty
one Hebrew families have bought farms
there of their own. These families
number seven hundred and sixty two
males uud seven hundred and sixty lot r
females.
—We tremble, says an exchange, for
the husbandc of fashionable wives next
summer. Bistort made her’appeargnec
in New York with one hundred and fifty
trunks! Os gourse, shoddy and petro
leum are not going to be outdone by nn
actress.
Patriotic Sentiment* of a Chariot*
ton Grand Jury.
At the present Term of the United
Statet Court new in Charleeton,
the Grand Jury iu the course of their
ptvaeMßients, gave vent to the fotlowiag
patriotic sentiments, which were en
dorsed by Judge Bryan, with the pre
face that ho had differed with the State
in its political views in the past, but
hoped now to see afl the people united
and harmonious once more:
TH* STATE or TTTK COUKTHT.
The Urand Jury, before closing their
duties, feel constrained to refer to the
stale of tho country. The peace now
reigning throughout the whole country,
after four years of civil war of the most
sanguinary character recorded on the
pages of history during the last century,
ia a source of most devout congratula
tion. When we look arouud and witness
the Civil Courts fully organized, and
know that all our wrongs nnd grievances
will bo adjudicated before a jury of our
countrymen, instead of before Military
Courts and other tribunals of a similar
character, we have ample caase to be
thankful for the peace which we are
now enjoying, and should ardently desire
that the sword may ever remain sheath
ed, and that our country may never
know war any more. It is fervently
hoped that the National Congress, at its
next session, will dispassionately con
sider the state of the country,and direct
its whole efforts to bring about a full re
storation of the Union by the admission
of all the States to that representation in
the National Councils guaranteed them
by the Constitution, and entirely remove
or modify all disqualifying Acts, espe
cially the Test Oath, by which the citi
zens of the Southern States are debarred
f.oui accepting offices that they are emi
nently qualified to fill, and in doing so
would reflect credit upon the State at
large.
Our Northern brethren should exer
ercise a good degree of charity in their
legislation, and remember that the peo
ple of the Southern States, more espe
cially the people of South Carolina,
have been educated in the school of
States Rights doctrines, and really be
lieved that their allegiance was due to
the State, and that the State, not the
citizen, owed allegiance to the General
Government. They honestly believed
such to be their duty, and so acted.
Now that it has been decided that the
citizen’s allegiance is due to the Gene
ral Government, they have accepted
the issue, and will faithfully abide by
it. In view of all these facts we trust
that at an early day all harriers to a
full and complete restoration of all the
States to their equal rights will be re
moved, and that we will again present
to the world the happy spectacle of a
united people.
TIIK lION. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The Grand Jury would also direct
the attention of the proper authorities of
the Government to the case of the Hon.
Jefferson Davis, who has been held in
coofiement since the 23d of April, 1865,
and most earnestly urge upon them to
use all efforts to give him a speedy
trial, or release him on bail. It is but
justice that he should be tried or re
leased. His counsel have made re
peated efforts to have him brought to
trial, and are still exerting themselves
to that end. His longer detention with
out a trial cannot but reflect with dis
credit upon the country, whilst the
common dictates of humanity demand
speedy actiou in his ease, as his bodily
health and mind are fast becoming
irreparably impaired from his long im
prisonment.

Tub Rothschilds and the Cotton
Ckod.—The Rothschilds recently wrote
to this country for as correct a state
ment as could possibly bo procured of
the probable yield of cotton in the South
ern States during the year 18(!G, mid
received in reply, from a distinguished
planter, that it would not exceed, “ un
der the most favorable circumstances,
l,20t),000 bales.” The gcntlcmau who
wrote this has since, in view of the de
predations of worms, havoc . from rust,
and scarcity of labor to pick out the
sfuple, reduced his estimate to 1,000,000
bales, of which amount he does not be
lieve there will be 200,000 bales availa
ble for export.
