Mr. Plant says this is the moet ieoeptive counterfeit he ever saw, and cannot oaatly be detected except by a critical examine tion with glasses. The signatures first arrested Us attention as they were poor imitationsof the genuine, with which be happened to be fa miliar. As there may be more about, the people who fen whether these ahinplasters are counterfeit Or not should be on their guard. But to those of ns who use only a little small change now And then it is hardly worth whilo to bother our heads about counterfeits. For example, we fepfiosu about one-half the “fractional enrren- circulating aronnd. Maoon Is bogus; bnt it passes round just as welL Nobody cares to be over-curions on that point, and even with the beet efforts of the counterfeiters and the gov ernment small change is frequently scarce. The situation reminds uS of the olden time in Florida, when the whole country was flooded with bogus Mexican dollars, which kept np a cheerful circulation for years; everybody know ing them to be bogns. But unfortunately, at last, the greedy rascals who set out with an honest standard of sixty cents silver in the dol lar, got to debasing the coin so much that it turned black and coppery—was disagreeable to fee smell, and then we were obliged to refuse it On principle. Jast so with these outside shinplaster mills which have been established by private enter prise. They commenced printing their fifty cent notes so well that yon could not tell one from another without looking more closely than ifty cents wonld pay.

General Break!a* ITp of Parties—New Par ty to be onpmtarf. A gentleman, formerly United States Marshal of North Carolina, who arrived here from that State to-day, says there is about to be a general breaking up of political parties there. The Holden party, which has ruled with great bitter ness in the interest of the ultra Radicals since the State was reconstructed,, has lost caste and its members are quarrelling among themselves. They brought the State to the verge of bank ruptcy, and now that the State bonds are selling for about thirty-eight cents on the dollar, some of them are secretly conniving at a repudiation of the State debt. The people, or at least the respectable portion of them, and specially the property owners, are ready to join any party organization that promises relief from the oner ous taxes and baa management of Holden and his friends. Holden is about deserting the ex treme Radicals, because he perceives that their power is at an end, and will probably seek for admission in the new party. He has been so proscriptive, my informant says, against all who did not agree with him, that he will get no fa vor at the hands of the leaders of the new gov ernment. The gentlemen propose to organize a party after the fashion of the Walker party in Virginia and the Senter party in Tennessee, with universal amnesty and impartial suffrage as the leading features.—Lynchburg Virginian. The conditions to the manufacture of that “new party" in North Carolina do not exist North Carolina is already a State of the Union, and unless Congress puts her ont again, we do not see how such a bargain as has been driven with Virginia, Mississippi and Texas can be effected.. In those States the people have agreed, in consideration of being released from military domination and remitted to modified self-government, to make no issue with the re construction acts, and so far as that, to co-ope rate, for (he nonce, with radicalism. It was a case of bargain and sale or a choice of evils, and a great many doubted whether they did not pay too dearly for the whistle. On the whole we think not. Bnt no man, we imagine, can suppose that the terms of the contract extend beyond the pe riod of the final consummation, or that in vir tue of it, the Radicals can rationally expect to hold men to the permanent support and main tenance of doctrines and principles fatally at war with all sound republicanism and civil lib erty. How can a Virginia Democrat co-operate heartily and permanently with a party running on a schedule “outside the Constitution" claim ing the doctrine of Congressional supremacy— asserting the unlimited power of the Federal Government as represented by Congress—and the right of that body to compel the States to amend the Constitution so as to enlarge its own powers. Such a Democrat as that wonld be a political monstrosity—a creature of unnatural shape. We understand the bargain between Radical ism and these States to be in tbe nature of that kind of pact which a man should make with a fear. . , This Road will give us up-country folks so I party °f free-booters, who, having possessed fine an opportunity to snuff the sea-breezes—to j themselves of a portion of his property, ho con- bear the roar of tbe surf—to catch and eat fish, j sen ted to a waiver of his title in order to pur- tod crab, and oysters, that we think it will add back possession of the remainder.

Reconstruction. The most reliable information jnst received here verbally, says the Richmond Dispatch of the Sd, from Washington is entirely corrobora tory of what we have several times had from the Federal city. Virginia is to be recommended, and her admission asked for; and, furthermore, if will be requested that this admission be “ prompt.” This is the sentiment and purpose of the Administration. General Grant is pleased with Virginia, and so are the heads of Depart- • tnents. We mention especially Messrs. Hoar andBoutwell,'as they are considered to repre sent the nltramontanism of the Cabinet in poli ties. Mr. Hoar is said to be indignant at the absnrd movement of the little knot of destruct ives, in this city in protesting agaiost the ad- erate Radicals. We ere not disposed to ex treme opinions on aDy topic. We believe de voutly in the adage, almost as old as civilization, that snfefy generally lies in the middle conrse. But it is at least questionable, whether one of your so-called “ conservative" Republicans, who yet doctrinally endorses the monstrous heresies of a Congress irresponsible to law and supreme, as well as all the others which are embodied in the so-called reconstruction acts, is not a more dangerous man than the violent Jacobin who claims that all law is but popular breath, and the will of the majority for the time being is the only Constitntion entitled to the smallest respect. The one lends a gravity and moral power to heresies which he knows must be fatal to all sound government, which the other could never impart. Nor is there any important prac tical distinction in the positions occnpied by both.

They all know, of course, that the fourteenth amend ment has already been proclaimed (tub modo) to be a part of the Constitution. It is also known to all that the fifteenth amendment ia now be fore the States for ratification, and that while its fate is still doubtful, tbe chances lean in favor of its adoption. That neither of these amendments should ever have been incorporated into the Constitution is a proposition which admits of no doubt what ever in the light of sound reason and statesman ship. That they should have been forced into the Constitution, under the circumstances which mark their ignominious history, is simply * proof that the partizan and factious violence of the Radical party is capable of any enormity. The fourteenth amendment is in the following language—at least so much as we consider perti- tiuent on tbe present occasion : Section 1.—All persons born or naturalized .in the United States and subject to the jurisdic tion thereof are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of tbe United States, nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or. property, without dne process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Seo. 5. The Congress shall have power to en force, by oppropriate legislation, the provisions of this Article. It will be observed that this amendment has no direct reference to individual suffrage. In the second section, it is provided, in effect, that if any State shall deny the suffrage to the ne groes, the basis of representation shall be re duced in the proportion of the male citizens thus excluded, to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age, in such State. When we say that the amendment has no direct reference to personal suffrage, we mean that it does not invest any person with the privilege of voting. It simply creates citizen* of the United States : and, inasmuch as all naturalized white men (and oidy white men could be naturalized) were citizens before the amendment was pro posed by Congress, and since all native born- white men were also citizens, the object of the amendment was to confer the privileges and immunities of citizenship npon tbe negroes in the Sonthero States. The words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” referring to the United States, excluded from the operation of the amendment the non-voting negroes in the Northern and Western States. It was main tained bythe Radical party (hat the results of the war subjected the Southern States or Terri tories, or “conquered Provinces,” as they are now some times designated, to the foil and ab solute jurisdiction of the United States. Hence, the peculiar phraseology qf the amendment.— This amendment further provides that “no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immnnities of citizens of the United States,” to-wit, the Sonthenn ne groes in particular. Thus, the fourteenth amendment makes all negroes in the Southern States “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and of the States wherein they reside; and declares further that no State shall enforce any law to deprive them of the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States. The amendment is, of course, both present and prospective in its ap plication and in its operation, and the word “ citizens” includes naturally and logically each individnal citizen. The langaage of the fifteenth amendment is as follows: ' Section 1. The right of citizens of the Uni ted States to vote shall not be denied or abridg ed by the United States or by any State, on ac count of race, color, or previous oondition of servitude; and Congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this article by appro priate legislation. It will be seen that this amendment, unlike the founteenth, has direct reference to suffrage, and confers the right of suffrage, with a polit ical privilege or immunity, upon all citizens of the United States, to-wit: npon the negroes, both in the South and in the North, as partic. nlarly designed. It follows then that if both of these amendments shonld become parts of the Constitution, two conditions would be clearly revealed. First. That under the fifteenth amendment, all negroes who are citizens of the United States may enjoy the ballot in tbe Southern States, ns they Lave been doing for several years past un der the reconstruction acts of Congress—that those negroes in the Northern States who Lave been voting tinder State laws, shall continue to enjoy the suffrage—and that non-voting negroes in all the Northern States, hy virtne of this amendment- shall also become entitled as voters. Second. That under tbe fourteenth amend ment no State can make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immnni ties of citizens of the United States, being citi zens at the time of the ratification. of the fif teenth amendment. The negro voter is doubly protected in the privilege or immunity of voting: First. Because no State can make or enforce any law to deprive him of that right. Second. Because neither the United States, nor any State, can deprive him of the suffrage, by reason of color or race, or previous condition of servitude. In other woids, he is protected both in the general and in the particular—his color, race or condition shall not operate to his exclusion in the one case, and in the other hiB suffrage and his citizenship are incorporated, the one into the other. Construing both amend ments together, it is as though the fourteenth had declared “thatthe right, of citizens of the United States to vote, shall not be denied or abriged by the United States or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude; and no State shall make or en force any law which shall abridge the privileges or immnnities of citizens of the United States.” The first portion of the article, as we have here described it, refers both to the United States, and the second part to the States alone. In the event, therefore, of the ratification of tbe fifteenth amendment, no negro, either South or North, who may be then a voter, can ever bo excluded from the ballot, unless the Supreme Court may hereafter purge the Constitution of these anomalous and really spurious articles. The StateB may afterwards exclude any class not already voters, or they may Bet up an elec toral qualification to act prospectively npon tbe class affected by it. But they will not be able to exercise the least control over present suf fragans, whether white or black. This is onr opinion after full examination and reflection on the snbject. It will be in the power of the States, (perhaps,) to exclude ne groes from holding office, but not from voting. [Montgomery Adeertiser. Consolidation or tta« Hudson River and Near York Central Railways. Yesterday the stockholders of tbe* two great lines of railway in this State—the Hudson Riv er and the New York Central—voted their con solidation. Virtually the union had taken place long ago, when Commodore Vanderbilt and his friends came into possession of a majority of their stocks. Both roads were operated in har mony and were practio&Uy.one. Now, however, they are financially so. The terms of the con solidation, which were'kept a profound secret up, to the moment tbe vote was taken, .wore a great disappointment ‘to Wall ’street, where a combined capital of one hundred millions was confidently looked for.

The prices of New York Central and Hudson River both underwent a large decline on the an nouncement of the terms, bnt at the decline, paused and wavered, the street being ‘ sorely puzzled as to their real value, owing to the con ditions of fee scrip.

The Empress is a very inferior person, with, as I have more than ouco told you, a will of singular tenacity. This obstinacy is held by her to be synonymous with power—with reil strength. The principal object of her recent efforts has been the de facto banishment of all her spouse’s old friends and associates. She has always dis liked them intensely, and for more than one reason, and she has never forgivon any one of them fee attempts they one and all made to prevent her marriage with Louis Napoleon. But she has most perfectly disguised her sentiments, and until the hour when circumstances gave her preponderance in the government tbe Empress was friendly with everybody—with M. de Per- signy as with Connt Walewski; with M. de Moray, with M. Drouyn de Lhuys, with M. Fould and with M. Rouher. Her first act of real au thority has been the getting rid of Gen. Fieury, and a great sensation it creates. It is quite true that one argument used by the Empress is a very strong one—the notorious absence of moral worth or personal respectability on the part of Louis Napoleon’s private friends and out-and- out adherents. She puts this forward now on all occasions: and there is now no defending the persons she condemns. Bnt whom docs she propose in their stead? Men politically worse, because they are utterly wanting in any faith in that which they are required to uphold. Men like General Fieury, who remember the early days of the February Revolution, and what the temper of the country then was, know what the present movement means, and what it may come to; besides which, having been raised from nothing to rank and wealth, they are disposed to do whatever may be necessary to preserve their position, and their sight is proportionately sharpened. There wonld "bo no reason why tho man who mainly helped to commit tho crimes of the coup d'etat (without whom Louis Napoleon nover wonld have ventured to commit it) might not be come the inangnrator of all freedom in France; all be is aiming at is not losing the advantages he possesses, and once prove to him that tho oountry will have its old liberties, or throw off those who refuse them, and General Fieury would indubitably, were he Minister, do every thing that his own interests demanded. Rut the Empress’ ideas of Government tend in thor oughly different directions. In the first place, it is, in her mind, a humiliation for a sovereign to be dictated to by the people, and she looks upon what is called “firmness” rs a cardinal virtue (on the eve of ’48 M. Guizsot, too, said that “resistance was the only form of pro gress”;) and, added to this, the first duty that the Empress holds to bo incumbent on France is that of forcing the yoke of the Papacy more and more npon the population. Now, in all these attempts she meets with the resistance of the so-called entourage, who are by no means Papistical. She has been for the last two years trying to get rid of General FJenry ; bnt, after the many deaths that have deprived the Em peror of bis old companions, Persigny ■ and Fieury are about the only remaining ones, and the Grand Ecuyer endured. Before leaving for her Eastern journey, how ever, the Empress achieved tho virtual exile of her adversary. The General petitioned for Florence; but the Empress insisted on M. de Malaret’s remaining there. To his perfect an noyance, then, Fieury is dispatched to Russia and fee Empress has succeeded. Chinese Immigration to the United States—N'hat is Thought of it. in Chinn. Prom the Shanghai Ueto* Letter, September 18.) We are glad to see by the last Pacific Mail papers that in every part of tho United States the question of Chinese immigration is being earnestly discussed, and that onr fellow-coun trymen are already clearing their minds from their hazy notions of this empire. They have pricked tho gigantic bubble which Mr. Burlin game blew, in the rainbow tints of which there was no more a picture of China than there is on the face of a “willow pattern” plate. They decline to see on tho eastern shore of the Pa cific a nation of educated philosophers, under the sway of a paternal emperor—but, what is more to the pnrpose, they see millions of indus trious men, iu whose hands is the key to the great problem of cheap labor in America. With practical men decision soon follows discussion, and we may be sure that the Southern planters and the capitalists of the newly-opened West will not be long in supplying their wants by or ganized immigration from China. It is rumored that the Pacific Mail Steamship Hod. Hiram Warses was in Macon yesterday, and di'played his judgment in one particular by sutaKtibing for fee Teiaobaph. Madame Asa* Bishop will settle in New York *sd lead • ohsreh eboir there. Company will aid and encourage.this new pas senger traffic by an early increase in their steam line. Supposing them merely to employ their spare vessels, it would be possible to have an exJ tra steamer every month, which would besuffi cient for a short time. But the labor demand in the United States is so multifarious that it must soon cause an “advance along the whole line” of China. The province of Twangtung will continue to send men suited to our mines and railroads, and for such other employments as demand a certain amount of adventure and hardihood. But for the Southern plantations and for ,the grain fields of the Northwest, , it seenis probable that the best laborers will be found among the quiet and docile peasantry, who inhabit, the lower valleys of the Yangtsze and the Hoangho. The mountainous province ofShangtung is also known to contain a super fluous population, unable to subsist off the soil, forbidden to delve under it for mineral wealth: many from there might be induced to emigrate to America, instead of to Manchuria, where the experiment of settling has been tried with indif- 6 The Subject is not without grave difficulties. Muoh will depend oh fee personal character of fee subordinate agents employed to engage fee coolies in China, much on the honesty with which they comply wife our immigration laws. Any system, based on contracts for long servioe signed in China, is liable to a thousand abuses, ami unless checked by a rigid enforcement of law, degenerates into a virtual slave trade. A starving coolie will resign his birthright as read ily as Esau, and any attempt by emigration agents to acit the part of Jacob must re sult in disappointment to those who are ulti mately to have the coolie’s services. Muoh, al so, will depend on fee laws which fee different States may make regarding the Chinese—wheth er the latter are to be protected from fee oppo sition of rival laborers, or whether they are to be weighted by social or legal disabilities.

Royalty in Prussia—Home-Life of tlie King. A correspondent of the London Telegraph thus describes the home-life of King William: From the library in the Berlin Palace it is but step through a side door into the famous “cor ner” room, where the King may be seen from the st a -t bit ing at his writing table, any morn ing when be is iu Berlin. This room, crowded with puintiug-i, statuettes—one, among, others, by the Crowu Princess, of her husband, grasping torn flag and cheering on his men—busts, etchings, miniatures, andeomitle.-sother objects of art, is remarkable for one odd peculiarity: it does not contain a single seat of any sort, except the King’s arm-chair and a kind of'stool like a saddle upon supports, without any hack, npon which his Majesty mounts when he has to sign certain documents of paramount importance, such as death warrants, etc. Whosoever is re ceived into this department bus to stand while talking to the King, who rises from his chair at the writing table, turns his hack to the window, and hears in that position whatever his visitor may have to say to him. Leading out of the “corner” room is the council chamber, in which his Majesty presides over the council of bis minis'ers; a noble npart- ment, richly decorated and hung with costly pic tures by modern masters.. The last room ofthe suit is a sort of reading room, filled with milita ry sketches—some splendid water-color draw ings ef c.iinp scenes in the French and Austrian armies—huge nisps, sea-pieces, pamphlets and souvenirs of tho tented field. These are the standards of all the guard regiments, and the drums of tho Garde dn Corps, always in the King’s keeping, except on extraordinarily sol emn occasions, when they are fetched by can- pignies d’elilc, and delivered over with impress ive formality. I forgot to mention two curious objectsin the library; one is n “progressive’’ nmp of the Prussian kingdom, starting with the “Mark” of Brandenburg, in dull brown, and showing every successive acquisition in a different color; the other is a sort of memento “diary.” arranged for the King by one of his most trusted servants every day of the year registered upon a sepa rate sheet of cardboard, whereon are recorded the several events in the King’s life of which that day is an anniversary. This “diary” is a monument of loving labor and thoughtful devo tion on the part of its compiler ;• and his Majes ty constantly refers to it. I noticed that the ‘Cabier” fo*r October was represented by a gap in the chest containing tbe whole series; and on inquiring what bad become of it, was told that the “King had taken it with him to Baden.” • Were I to reconnt all the anecdotes of the venerable Sovereign’s goodness and amiability that I heard while visiting his aparlments, this letter wonld swell into a volume; suffice it to say, he is the best served King in Europe, be cause he is one^of the best mep that ever wore the purple, or any other costume whatever. Those who, like the writer, have been.fortunate enongh to learn tbe true story of bis life, and see him live, oan fully understand how and why iti8 that he is so deeply loved by his people. • YWITOftfl TO THE STATE TAn, Special to the Telegraph.)

Scofield's Rolling Mill. Through the courtesy of Mr. W. D. Cook, Mr. Scofield’s son-in-law, we were shown through tbe establishment. Three hundred thousand doilnrs are invested in the Mill and fixtures. The company employ three hundred and fifty operatives, to whom they pay $15,000 per month, or $180,000 per annum, as wages. The freight bill for coal, iron, etc., is $1200 per week, or $62,400 per annum. Seven car-loads of coal is used daily. The Mill turns ont forty tons of iron rails, twenty tons of merchant iron, and five tons of spikes per day, or 12,480 tons of rails, 6,240 tons of merchant iron, and 1,560 tons of spikes per annum. This Mill is adding much to the material wealth and prosperity of th© city, cans ing millions of dollars to flow into it. Mr. Sco field, by his business tact and go-ahead spirit, is making it more valuable than any gold mine. It is a mammoth establishment, giving employ ment to many, and oonferring great benefits, either directly or indirectly, upon fee whole city. To such an enterprise, we oan but wish increased success.

London, November 5.—Mr. Peabody is dead. Tho death of the philanthropist. George Peabody, creates a profound sensation. Nearly all fee mom ing papers have obituary articles. The Times says: “The news of Mr. Peabody’s death wiH be received with no common sorrow on both sides of the Atlan tic. The sentiment of regret will be a mere passing tribute uf gratitude to a munificent benefactor. Mr. Peabody, through a long life, accumulated many titles to be lamented, He was an ardent patriot, and was loved abroad as much as at home. He was a New Englander, who, when tbe South web bowed down to the dust, stepped forward and claimed a right to succor her. He was no conrtier, yet he waa' honored by sovereigns and princes. Hb was profuse in bis charity, which pauperized nobody. He was & philanthropist who was liked as well as'honored. There was nothing hard or narrow abont bis philan- tropy.
