RATIFICATION WITH AN 'IF."-The manner
IN which South Carolina has passed the Con-
sututional amendment prohibiting the exist

lslature OF that State as an exceedingly loyal
body. The amendment has been adopted with
a rider, as follows:
"ReSOtred. That any attempt by Congress to-
wards legislating upon the political status of
former slaves or their civil relations, would be
contrary 10 the Constitution of the United
States as IL now is, or as IL would be altered
by the proposed amendment; in conflict with
the policy of the President declared in the
amnesty proclamation, and with the restora-
ton OF that harmony upon which depends the
the vital interests OF the American Union"

The RUSSIAN TRLEGRAPH.-Further partic-

OF the wires for a considerable distance on the
American side up towards BehrIng Straits, in
which ssundings had been made preparatory
10 laying the submarine cable. We now learn
that those engaged in the enterprise on the
Aslatic side are prosecuting their labors vigor-
ously and with great success, having penetra-
ted a considerable distance into Siberia and met
with every assistance needed from both the
Russian officers and the natives. The Straits
