RAYMOND LECTURING UPON HONOR!
The New York Times of the 18th instant
has a labored article to convince the South
that the adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment, emasculating her in Congress
and destroying the brave men she recently
sent to the field to fight for her indepen
dence, is no violation of her honor. It tells the
Southern people that such men as Wade
Hampton is no judge of such matters, and
that it was just such lecturers on Southern
honor that involved them in the late disas
trous war. This, by the way, is the only ar
gument used by the Times.
Now, the idea of Raymond delivering lec
tures on honor!—a man who never felt an
honorable impulse in his life, and whose sole
rule of action is to do that which will best
serve his purpose, utterly regardless ot the
character of the act! Just contemplate the
spectacle of this New York political bum
mer—whom Greeley appropriately styled
“The Little Villian”—on the stand enlighten-

I DESPATCHES to the ASSOCIATED press.]
The Baltimore Election Troubles.
Baltihohe, Oct 22d.—Police Commissioners
were yesterday in consultation with their Coun
sel and prominent citizens. It is understood
they would not appear in person before the Gov
ernor. but file a response through Counsel deny
ing his porvr to try charges, but at the same
time declaring their readiness to meet accusa
tions before any Court of competent jurisdiction.
The Commissionsrs have not entertained any
proposition looking to compromise, but declare
their determination to’resist any encroachments
upon their functions.
From New York.
“New York, Oct. 22.—Foreign papers, and also
the Herald’s Paris correspondent, state that the
Empress of Mexico has became insane. (This is
the last anti-imperial sensation.)
The steamer Gen. Barnas, from Savannah, has
arrived at this port.
Gold quoted to-day at 1471-8; Sterling Ex-

There is but one parallel in history,
The Henry County Difficulties.—We
are glad to learn that the conflict in Henry
county, between tho civil and military au
thorities, has been adjusted, and that General
Tillson has ordered the parties confined in

ted in Henry county ngai st persons of color,
to be delivered up to the civil courts for

and the orator on that occasion delivered
himself in the following seducing style:
“Ye shall not die; for God doth know that
in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall
be opened; and ye shall be as God*, know
ing good and eviL”
In behalf of the South, we would only
say, in reply to the wicked tempter, “Get
thee behind me, Satan l 1 ’
Our advice to the editors of the Times is
to cease inflicting upon the public its drivel
ling stuff about the South and the Constitu
tional Amendment. It does no good, and
only serves to render themselves both ridicu
lous and disgusting. There is not a particle
of honesty in its advocacy of that measure.—
Should the Southern people adopt it, they
would not only be hateful to themselves, but
incur the contempt of#11 civilized mankind,
even of the North herself. We have not the
slightest idea of perpetrating such a folly and
iniquity. We look upon the whole scheme
with inexpressible scorn, and there is no use
in saying another word about it.
Sense vs. Sensation.—A Paris corres
pondent of the New York Times says: “The
French Journals find a considerable source of
amusement in the telegrams the American
journals publish by the Atlantic cable. Five
dollars a word they find too dear to pay for
notices of events which do not even excite
any notice on this side of the water.”
The French are about right; but then there
is some sensation in a despatch from all the
way across the ocean, and whether good for
anything or not, the Northern editors can
make it pay. So much for the difierence be
tween a practical and a hurabuging people.
Another name is to-day suggested for
the office of Solicitor General of the 3facon
Circuit. Josiah F. Bass, Esq., the present in
cumbent, by appointment of the Governor,
and who has had considerable experience in the
duties, having been acting in the place of Joel
Branham, Esq., for about one year, is an
nounced as a candidate.
Mr. Bass, like his competitors, has
the honor of having served his
country well in the late war. as Lieutenant
of Infantry and Cavalry, carrying on his per
son the scars of battle, which will lost him
through life. Out of the honorable names
offered, the people of tbc Circuit can certainly
make a good selection.
Billion.
Editor* Telegraph.—The definition of n
“Billion,” as a “thousand million” given by
your correspondent “W.” would be more
satisfactory, if he would give a good reason
why the same enumeration by which millions
are reached, should not apply to billions' tril
lions &c; that is by unit*, tens hundreds,
thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of
thousands, million*, tens of millions, hundreds
of millions, thousands of niilllions, tens of
thousands of millions, hundreds of thousands

multiplied into each other give some signifi
cancctothc word hi or “Aw” but it is diffi
cult to see bow “twice” can be applied in the

Enquirer.
Tho Departments of the Govern
ment Co-operative, Not
Absolute.
In the course of a comment on the excite
ment produced at the North by the report
of the President having submitted the ques
tion of the legality of the present Congress
to the Attorney-General, tho Nashville Un
ion & American has some just and common
sense remarks, which we append:
In the zeal of partyism there are those who
seem to regard each department of the Gov
ernment as independent and absolute in its
sphere, and to forget that all of them, sepa
rately and combined, arc subject to the Con
stitution—the supreme law pronounced by
the people in their unquestionablv sover
eign character. The President, the Congress
and the Courts—tho law-executor, the law
makers and the law-expounders—are but ser
vants in tempory employ of the Constitution
If in the discharge of their trusts, either of
them require information, it is not only
right, but it is a sworn duty of each of them
to consult the power which gives them au
thority, and to learn therefrom the extent of
their rights and the character of their du
ties. This is the very substance of Repub
licanism. Under other forms of Government
a collision of authority is decided arbitrary
and by force, but in this country there is a
common arbiter prepared and at band, and
the readiness of a public servant, what
ever position he may occupy, to ap
peal and submit bis official conduct to
that standard, is the measure of his official
integrity. Therefore, we say that President
Johnson properly can submit to his cabinet
council, to be determined by him and them,
from the Constitution, whether or not a co-

Washington, Oct 24th.—Special despatches

tension of the time for the withdrawal of the
first installment of troops from Mexico until
January first offering, in that case, to waive the
time allowed for the withdrawal of the remain
der, sod remove all substantially at one time,
which proposition is not assented to.
There is no official confirmation of reports
about our Government demanding payment
from England of the Alabama claims, nor that a
determination has been reached to establish a
protectorate over Mexico.
A lengthy letter from Secretary Browning, ad
dressed to a Committee at Quincy, Illinois, in
response to an invitation to deliver an address
on political topics, is published this morning.—
It argues forcibly against tho Constitutional
amendment and in vindication of the Presi
dent’s policy. He says it is the President’s pur
pose, as the Executive head of the nation, to
maintain and preserve the Constitution as it is.
The South Not Wholly Insignifi
cant.
The New York Times grows stri over the
“masterly inactivity” of the South, and actu
ally pays us a compliment in desiring us back
into the Union. It seems, after all, the South
has “taught the cnnntiy some of its most
valuable lessons.” The Times says.
Southern Influence on National Politics.—
We notice that a great many of the Southern
newspapers are advising the people of tbc
South to pay no further attention to political
affairs, hut to give up ail care as to whether
er or not their Representatives are admitted to
Congress, and to abide patiently the develop
ment of the purposes of their “Northern mas
ters.’

Congress or the Supreme Court, were in their
organization in conformity to the Constitu
tion, and were he to suppress the fact he
would be criminally derelict If facts, offi
cially brought to the attention of Congress,
were to involve the constitutional tenure by
which the Executive was held, it would be
the duty of that body to inquire into it under
the laws, and if necessary resist the veto pow
er and concert measures to rectify the Exec
utive. If the Supreme Judiciary is, in any
manner, in its organization, in violation of
the Constitution, it is the duty of the Pres
ident to give Congress information of the
fact, and ot both of them to proceed to reme
dy it Neither of the three are independent
of each other, or absolute in tlicir separate
spheres. The great object of the Constitu
tion was to make of the three great
powers of the Government—the legislative,
the judicial, and the executive—an accurate
system of checks and balances. If either, at
any time and under any circumstances, re
fuses tbc right of legitimate inquiry from its
coequal branches, it destroys the adjustment
of this system, and nullifies the Constitution.
Congress may impeach the President and the
Judges of the Supreme Court, but either of
them may require that Congress shall show
itself to be an impeaching body under tbe
Constitution, before they submit to its au
thority. The Supreme Court has constitu
tional power to pronounce an act of Congress
null and void, because it violates the Consti
tution. It has power to tell the President
that he has transgressed bis authority. The
President has power to say to Congress, if it
be not composed according to law, that it is
not tbe body that the Constitution contem
plated as the law-making power, and as the
sworn chief officer of tho Constitution he
cannot communicate with it, or ratify or re
cognize its acts.
These are fundamental truths in our poli
tical system; and, as wc have remarked, par
tisan excitement and passion only obscures
the public judgment in regard to them.

Tiic Radical Programme.
Wendell Phillips, has made another speech,
in which he claps spurs to the sides of the
tardy Radicals, and tells them what the
country expects ol them at the coming session
of Congress. Here is a paragraph, from
which the rest may be inferred:
What, then, is to be done ? These men
must be sent back to Congress to enact a law
that will repder it impossible for any South
ern State to come back into Congress before
1809. Congress may go back and sit down
in the House of Representatives and govern
this Republic, and exercise the right which
the war has invested in it, by virtue of two-
t birds of the votes of the North, and govern
this Republic; and in order to do that, the
very first act of that House is to impeach the
President of the United States. Away with
questions of admitting that State or the other,
the rejection cr acceptance of this or the other
amendment; the object of the Congress of
the United States should be to govern this
Republic. And in order to do tliat, the first
step is to impeach the President of the United
States, nud while the trial is going on remove
him from his office. Impeachment is worth
nothing without the removal of tho Presi
dent until his innocence is established. To
have the head of the nation, by liis own
avowal, ihr lu ad of a rebellion, in possession
cf tlie national strength while he is tried, is
a farce. It is to bo hoped this the people
will never exhibit in the face of Christendom.
Let the House ot Representatives impeach
the President and place the President of the
Senate in the office, and then we will “run
the machine.” /

New Regulations About tlie Cotton
Tax.
Washington, Oct. 23.—The Commissioner of
Internal Revenue has issued additional regula
tions concerning the transportation of cotton in
bond. The bond may be given by the consignee
in the district to which the cotton is to be
shipped and transmitted to tho collector of the
district in which the cotton is produced. Tho
bond being properly filed, tho Assessor will
issuo permits based upon tho weight as reported
by tho owner. Any want of accuracy in such
report of receipts is to bo corrected by the certifi
cate of tho weigher at tho point to which tho
cotton was shipped; This avoids tho necessity
of having tho cotton weighed by a government
officer prior to shipment. The old regulations
still remain in force and will bo observed when
ever parties wish to ship in the manner there
provided.

pranc: whenever led toward them. H
are, also, among the most frequent cat.-.:
pool-evil. Tlie horse, when passing Urc
them, is either surprised by something hi

him, when up goes the head, and crashcoa

A violent bruise often results t here from, i
a deep seated abscess follows. Low IwJa
also produce the same trouble. The ssci
elevation of the head is, in the horse, j
pressive of very unexpected emotion. T:
effect is always noticed whenever von ai
the stable rapidly or at an unusual bout
sudden noise will also cause the same npr
motion of the head. With low staMei
injury to the horse is almost invarisM; i
to follow.
Again, the easiest position in which
