cures to the citizen of each State the right
of transit and sojourn in any State Of the
Confederacy with their Slares and other
property, and that the right of property in
said slaves shall not be thereby impaired.
The third clause of the same section pro-
vides for the rendition of fugitive slares.-
There is in this direct and palpable desig-
nation of slares as property, which the old
Constitution very prudishly avoided. 1t
also provides that in all territory of the Co.
vernment, "the institution of negro slavery,
as it now exists in the Confederate States,
shall be recognized and protected by Con.
gress and the Territorial Government"
The admission of other States is provided
for; but by a vote Of two-thirds of the cho(e
House, and two-thirds of the Senate-the
Senate voting by States. But no new
States shall be formed within the jurisdic.
ton of any other State; nor any State be
formed by the junction of two or more
States, or parts of States, without the con-
sent of the Legislatures of the States con.
cerned, as we'll as of the Congress.
Article fifth, section first, provides that
upon the demand of three States, through
their conventions, Congress shall summon a
convention of all the States.
In the above We have given our readers
the distinctive features of the Constitution
of the Confederate States. The observation
of every attentive reader of the history of
the United States will detect the reasons
which prompted the above changes, and
will recognize them as improvements. The
old constitution threw every obstacle in the
way of improvement, and left minority
without redress. It left to revolution to
make corrections which wisdom and justice
should have accorded spontaneously. What
the experience or the exigencles of the Sou.
thern States will require in the future, we
of this generation cannot see. But, be they
what they may, this revolution and this
Constitution sets an example which, if fol-
lowed by the whole world, will give to eve.
ry nationality redress of grievances without
recourse to bloodshed.

technicalities to the supreme Court There,
after long and patient hearing, she has
obtained her victory. The Court has unan.
imously decided that Myra Clark Gaines is
the only Legitimate child Of Daniel Clark,
and that, as such, she is entitled to all the
property left by him. Nor are the years
and energies of the woman too far spent to
prevent her enjoyment of her vast wealth.
Mrs. Gaines, though now in her ffty-ffth
year, is represented as being an agreeable
specimen Of what old people delight in call
ing "ladies of the old school," She is in
good health, and possesses an abundant flow
of animal spirits, which have buoyed her up
for over thirty years, under circumstances
of an unusually trying nature.

tom house officers "We have a cargo, 3"
they will naturally say, son which we do
not care to pay duties just at present; we
must deposit it in the warehouses for the
term during which we are permitted to do
so by law" What will the officers of the
customs do in that case? The Government
has no louger any warehouses in the sece
ding ports The hold of an armed vessel
would neither be proper mr. sufficiently
spacious repository for the goods. The du'
ties in that case cannot be collected; and
the collector will be puzzled to know whe.
ther to let the ship proceed to port or tc
detan her.
We happen TO know that there are i'm
porting houses at this moment preparing tc
take advantage Of this opening for an unen
cur,bered trade. They are getting ready
to convey their cargos to Charleston or Sa'
vaunah the goods will be landed there,
and then brought coastwise to New York.
where, being iuportations from port with
in the Union, they will be subject to nc
duty. The new tariff, with its strange for
malities and ingeniously devised delays
forms an additional inducement with them
to take this course.
What, then, is left for our government
Shall we let the seeding States repeal the
revenue laws for the whole Union in this
manner? Or will the government choose
to consider all foreign commerce destined
for those ports where we have no custom
houses and no collectors, as contraband
and stop it, when offering to enter the col
lection districts from which our authorities
have been expelled ? Or will the President
call special session of Congress to do what
the last unwisely failed to do-to abolish
all ports of entry in the seeding States?

How THE JAPANESE RESTORE FADED
FLowERs.-A Nagasaki correspondent Of
the N. Y. Herald writes:
After bouquet is dropping beyond all

simple and seemingly most destructive ope
ration. I had received some days ago a
delightful bunch of flowers from Japan.

in all their beauty for nearly two weeks,
when at last they faded. Just as 1 was a.
bout to have them thrown away, the same
gentleman Japanese genteman) came to
see me. showed him the faded flowers,
and told that, though lasting long time,
they had now become useless. "Oh, no, !"
said he; only put the ends of the stems in

FORE" l was incredulous; so he took them
himself and held the stems ends in the
fire until they were completely charred.-
This was in The morning; at evening they
were sgain looking fresh and vigorous,
and have continued so for another week.
What may be the true agent in this re.
viving process, am unable to determine
fully; whether it be the heat driving once
more the last juices into every leaaet and
vein, or whether it be the bountiful supply
of carbon furnished by the charring-
| am inclined, however, to the latter cause,
as the full effect was not produced until
some eight hours afterward, and as it seems
that, If the heat was the principal agent, i,
must have been sooner followed by visible

CONFESSIONS OF THE TRIBUNE.-Be-
fore last November threats of disunion were
common enough, but no one supposed they
were anything more than electioneeriog
tricks. Indeed, so frequently had these
threats been made before, that no one had
any reason to regard them as of any prac.
tical importance They were accordingly
received either with Indifference, or with
m:rthful remarks; and the general opinion
seemed to be that the South could not be
forced out of the Union. 1t was argued by
those who cared to argue at. all about it,,
that the very existence Of slavery depended
upon tho Union that no slave State would
dare to have Canada carried down to its bor-
ders; that slave Instructions would occur
as soon as the heavy hand of the Federal
government was withdrawn from the insti-
tuition and that the dread Of John Brown
raids would alone prove sufficient to keep
the slave States in the Union. 1t would
seem now that great ignorance prevailed at
the North as to the situation Of the slave
States.

A Queer People,

Chambers journal, discussing recent
book of missionary travels in Africa, thus
aludes to one of the tribes which are found
in that terra incognito:
But the straugest of all the stories told
are of the Dokos, who live among the moist,
warm bamboo woods to the south of Caffa
and susa. Only four feet high, of dark
olive color, savage and naked, they have
neither houses nor temples, neither fire nor
human food. They live only on rats, mice,
and serpents, diversified by few roots and
fruits; they let their nails grow long, like
taons, the better to dig for ants, and the
more easily to tear in pieces their fa7orlte
snakes.
They do not marry, but live indiscrimnia.
tive lives of animals, multiplying very rap.
idly, and With very little maternal instinct.
The mother nurses her child for only a
short time, accustoming it to eat ants and
serpents as soon as possible; and when it
can help itself, it wanders away where it
will, and the mother thinks no more about
it, The Dokos are invaluable as slaves,
and are taken 10 large numbers. The
slave hunters hold up bright colored clothes
as soon as they come to the moist, warm
bamboo woods where these human monkeys
live, and the poor Dokos cannot resist the
attraction offered by such superior people.
They crowd round thsr, and are taken in
thousands.
In slavery they are docile, attached, obe-
dient, with few wants and excellent health.
They have only one fault=-a love of ants,
mice, and serpcnts, and a habit of speaking
to Yer, with their heads on the ground,
and their feet in the air. Yer is their idea
of a superior power, to whom they talk in
