CONSTITUTION OVER
THROWN.
The American people can no lon
-r conceal from themselves the lam
table fact that the Constitution, by
hich they have been governed for
-rly a century, lias been ignored,
-d, by the Sherman Military Bril,
w literally overthrown. The I’resi
t’s veto message argues forcibly in
tense of the Constitution, and puin
-g out the fearful inroads made by
a bill upon the liberties of the coun
. appeals with thrilling emphasis to
-ugress—to the patriotism and au
>rity of the Supreme Court to pause
the work of destruction—to stay
is flood of fanaticism and madness
ich is now rolling on in one migh
illow of anger, hate and revenge
overwhelm the last vestige of lib
•y transmitted to us by the battle
rred heroes of the fifst revelation
reply to this thrilling appeal of the
esident, who stands as a last senti
i on the watch tower of Liberty, li •
-g his signal guns faithfully to the
t moment, Congress hastens to pass
e bill over his veto to show tlipir
-vver and their contempt for the Pre
dent and the Constitution. Wheth
■ the Supreme Court will maintain
s patriotism and independence under
e rule of Radicalism, or even its ex
tence, remains yet to be seen! But
-) Constitution has been successful
overthrown.

! Terrible Scenes at the Explosion
of tjie Steamor David White.
Colonel Donan, a passenger on the
illfuted steamer David White, that
blew up near Vicksburg, last week,
gives the following description ot some
| of flic frightful scenes that ensued :
Clinging here to a shutter, there to
! a spar,*and here to a broken plank,
j blackened, scalded faces arose above
| the surlaee, shrieking in tone3 of ago--
!ny : “For Christ’s sake, save me !”
! “Jesus, have mercy !’’ “For God’s
| sake, help me 1”
We were a half mile from -either
] shore, more than half of the one hun
dred and fifty of the human beings we
had on board either killed outright, or,
burned and maimed, struggling for
life in the pitiless waters around us,
and no house, no boat in sight. Great
j God preserve me from ever witnessing
| such an awful scene again! Our gal
lant Captain, Dan Kinney, frightfully
| scalded, his face and hands covered
! with blood, was clinging to a piece of
j a spar some thirty yards from the
! wreck; but so badly hurt that he .see in-
I ed about to sink. .
THE WATER WAS NEARLY UP TO THE
CABIN FLOOR.
and just as 1 struck tbe guards, Mrs.
Dr Bhaw, of Memphis, clasped my
j arm and asked if I could save her.—l
j told her not to be frightened, I thought
I we Would get off, and, elimbing again
jon the root, tolled on all the hands
and waiters that were loft to help me
launch the life.boat. The first to rcs
| pond to the cpll was hue of the most
: horrible sights I saw during the day
■ —a little negro hoy, and engine greas-
I cr, stark naked, except a piece of a
j shirt, and scalded from his waste' to'
! liie lect, till the great flukes of bloody'
skin jolled . down his legs every time
:be moved. He luid buhl, saying ns.
-he did so: “Ah! bossy, Fso most
j gone ’- I’se burnt all over, but dis boat
| must get- in do river !” Heroic 4'tttle
! negro ! lie Was rescued, but they say
j will die. .Just at that moment, Mr.
i John 11. Triplett, the only one of Dr.
| Shaw's assistants in the office who es
caped reached the roof. Although
| badly burned, Sis'coolness dn-l courage
| did much Ibwawl saving those who
i were..still on the wreck. The' first
; mate was kilted, but. Ids Secofid,’-Mr.
j N. W. Moore, now reached u.h, and,
, with the'help of some of the waiters
| anil bands, we shoved the life-boat off.
The waiter was itow' -up to-the cabin
floor. Mr. Triplett and Dr. Slra,w, oue
of the owners of the White, assisted
| tl-o three ladies and the invalid, Mr.
| Klein, into the boat.
AND THEN CAME A RUSH
of the panic-stricken waiters, chain*
! hermaids and deck-hands. Mr. Tvip
j lett stood his ground gallantly, but, in
| spite of liisyixcrtions, aided faithfully
by John Ilopkin§,the colored steward
the boat was -swamped in an instant
and 1 found myself buttoned up in a
i heavy gray cassimcrc suit, buffeting
I the surges of the mighty Mississippi,
i All that I saw Sifter tlris was in the
j character of a “lloa'er.” As t lie life,
i boat went down, Dr. Shaw and Mr.
1 Triplett, who throughout, showed the
j coolne«s..of vulerajis, sucepeded, with
j the aid of the steward and cook, in
j getting the ladies and Mr. Klein back
| on the hurricane, rool.
i C.M-TAIN KlNtfky, liUItNT AND IILEE
! *•
ill NO -VS HE WAS,
I called lo them from the fragment of
| (lie wreck, to which lie was clinging,
I to “take ca.ro of the ladies !” Find
, ing that iij.y heavy clothes were about
! to sink me, l siajcocdod in swiming,
| I hough utterly exhausted, to a broken
j spar; and now commenced a long, al
j most hopeless .floating of two or three
mdes in the icy water Several sank
around mo ; several diml of cold
! As, wholly- powerless, 1 drifted past
| Tom. one of the • negro waiters,*lre
j clutched at my spar; it was so round
j that the slightest.touch rolled it over,
i and feeling that I had become too
j numbed to regain my position, I or
| dered him to keep off. We soon us
! forward caught a floating door, and
1 was soon after taken out, nearly dead
! with cold, two or threQ miles below.
| A few minutes afterward, '
THE LIFEBOAT, BOTTOM UPWARDS,
floating by within about twenty yards
-of mo, with four fellows sitting strad
dle of the sharp edged keel, and bal
aneing themselves ns c.-n-e fully ns tight
rope performers. 1 asked them why
they didn’t turn her over and get in ;
they said there was a man hanging ou
' fueti side, so near gone that they would
drown if they had to let go. They
both died of cold a short distance be
low. The four ou the keel were af
terwards rescued. The main wreck
was all this time drifting down, not
more than a hundred yards above mo.
Dr. Bhaw and Triplett, calm and col
lected, encouraged the ladies mid oth:
ers who remained on the roof. * The
laeies all tin- way behaved
like heroines—not a screim was heard
from one of them not as much terror
shown during Our greatest danger ns 1
have seen sentimental misses exhibit
if a Moses-liko old cow changed to
turn her head towards them. At the
time our life-boat sunk, ono of our
“down Tv.iSt’’ brethren rushed up t->
Mrs.dßhaw, caught her by the hand
and beggqd her to sure Jtiml She
told him to shut his mouth and keep
his senses, and h.effl be raved when
they all were. I had been in the
freezing water some half or three-quar
ters of an hour; 1 felt myself slowly
but surely becoming insensible, and
had almcst arrived at tire conclusion
that my last hour had eomo. 1 order
ed a-fellow who was swearing among
sanie-drjjt just below me to ‘ dry up’
bis sinfulness, ami was, perhaps, just
talking up mv mind as to whether 1
bad entirely forgiven all my enemies
—iq fact I Was just about to say,
“Now I lay me down to sleep.’’ and
roll off my log.
Who are Affected by the Amend
ment.
It is believed our people do not gen
erally understand who aro affected by
the Constitutional Amendment and
oxclwded iroin office,, and from tho
ballot-box by tho late bill.
The followirg persons aro excluded.
Ist. All persons who, before the war,
were members of Ottugrcss or officers
of tho United States and took an
oath to support the Constitution of
the United States and afterwards en
gaged in the rebellion. 2nd. All per
sons who, prior to the war, \yere ex
ecutive, legislative, or judicial officers
of the State and took the like oath-,
and engaged in tho rebellion. This
embraces 4fovernors, members of the
legislature and judicial officers from
a Judge of tho Supreme Court down
to a Justice of the Peace, who, at any
time held tho office and took the oath
and afterwards engaged in the rebell
ion.
Who then aremot excluded.’!' Ist.
No one is excluded because he held
an office under the’Confcdorate States
from President down, ts lie does not
fall within one of the excluded classes
above specified. The simple fact that
he was a Confederate Senator or a
Confederate General, or that ho took
an oath to support the Constitution oT
the Confederate States, does not ex
clude him.
2nd. No State or county officer is
excluded on account of bis having
held the office and taken the oath and
engaged in the rebellion, if ho wore
not an executive, legislative or judicial
'fleer, therefore, neither a lawer, sher
iff, clerk, tax collector, receiver, coun
ty treasurer, coroner, surveyor, con
stable or road commissioner is cxc-lu
d&L
Bid. As no man, under twenty one
-years of age, when the war began,
held any such otliee as disqualified,
and none of them took tbe oath to
support the Constitution of the Uni
ted States -during tli • war, and as the
war commenced nearly srx years ago,
no man in Georgia uniter 27 years ul
age can bo excluded.
4th. Milifia officers are not exclu
ded.
sth. .The y-Jiolc _ iari -s of our peo
ple, who fall within none of the ex
cluded classes abovcMnentimied, aro
free fil-ta the disqualification, and may
j vote arid hold any office in the State
without regard ,t-- the part they took
- in the. wig Atlanta.
[The above facta have been prepar*
ed lbr the Urn by one of tbe first le.
gal minds in the South, and wo accept
ils statements as critically- correct. —

Tho “Amendment’ in Massachu
setts.
The following special to the Now
York Tribune shows how much the
South lias to expect from the tender
j consideration of the Northern Radi
i cals, even if she adopts the Constitu
tional Amendment.
Boston,’ March 1 —The Committee
on-Federal Relations of* tic Legisla-.
ture, made a report to-Jay J n the ques
tion of the amendment to the Uousti
| tution of the United State?, The ma
! jority of tho Committee,. fouj in num
ber, recommend that it be referred to
tbe next Legislature, and tbe minority
numbering three, urge its adoption,
and the passage of the following :
Resolved, That in acting upon the
14th article of the ameiiduients to
tho Constitution proposed by the
| XXXIXth Congress as a measure of
reconstruction, MassachugHts denies
tile right of any Republicm Govern,
incut, to abridge the exer:ise’of the
elective franchise by rcasoi of race or
color; or to irnnose any qua’ification of
voting which is not applitablc to all
men and surmountable by all men.— j
That she is opposed to the creation of !
j new States and Rio reorganizing of j
States lately in rebellion, on any other
basis than universal suffrage, and that
the proposed an.end incut cannot be
considered by her as si finality, but
| merely as an advanefig step in the
| work of reconstruction and a joart of
! that admirable system lecontly adopted
by Congress, by which the social and
j civil condition of the revoked States
i .is to be elevated to the standard of
| true Republican Governments.
There is a fair probability that the
j minority report, will )0, adopted, al
j though opinions are a good deal divf

Stand by Your Country.
A writer in the Augusta Constitu.
tionalist, speaking of tho oppression
of the Southern people under the hard
and humiliating exaction of the Fede
ral Government, exhorts thorn in the
hour of trouble. We approve the ad
vice. 'This is a good inheritance, and
.should not be deserted to tho negroes
and Yankees. It is our home, and we
should adhere to it as long as wo are
allowed to subsist, and in better days
to corno transmit it to our children,
and not leave them when we die wan
derers on a foreign shore. True tbe
night is dark, but .the day will break
after a while, and when it does tho
clouds that have overshadowed us so
long will have disappeared forever.
AL icon Telegraph.
The writer in the Constitutionalist
says:
Now, what shall we do ? Sonic pro
pose to abandon the country, and seek
iu exile the security which is denied
to us at home. This h a fatal eiyor
this our country, ill-gov
erned as if is. We will not forsake it.
We will cling to onr native land, over
shadowed as it is by gloom and op
pression, as we would to a mother in
misfortune.
Now is there any other land to which
we could fly with the hope of.fiuding
there tho blessings which we have
heretofore enjoyed at home, Mexico
is torn with civil war. There is mo
ther respe.et for public liberty noupri
'vatc rights in that unhappy ’land
'Tho crowded States of Eivone arc, of
course, not to* bo considered, by the
m us of our people.
No, tills is our country. We will
*ijot wander into strange Lnds to hang
our Imps upon the willows, and weep
over * ruined country and a lost home.
Here, upon this very ;jjot, where our
liberties were cloven down, we will
retrieve our fortunes. Let us nyt de
spair of the Republic.-.
• The time for ipactjvitx has gone by.
Lot us be true to ourselves, an I we
sliall 'yet save the country. Neither
exile nor tame acquiescence in the
.pltin which Congress has pi-oj-#ed for
our subjugation can yocumf-lii-h any
thing for us. We must now take up
the causa of our country with energy
and hope. Junius Brutus.
