Through our private advioes from Washing
ton We are informed that the constitutional
amendment a It has passed tho Senate, do
signed to cover the reconstruction and read
mission into Congress Of the lately rebellious
States, win probably, without further modiaca-
ton, be passed by the House to-day under the
previous question, In order that this amend
ment may be submitted without further losa Of
time to the States for ratification.
We understand, further. that an extra session
Of our Legislature may be looked for &c inau.
gurate this work Of ratification and that II Is
supposed this example will be followed BY
other States. The republicans in Congress, We
are also informed, are sanguine that the re.
quired ratification Of three-fourths Of the State
ment In season to restore to their places In
Congress most If not all OF the excluded States
during the next session. It is believed that
the bill which is to follow this constitutional
amendment giving those States ton years credit
on their share of the national debt will have

being an article Of which they are now sadly
deficient
We are not advised whether in those move
ments the cooperation Of Congress and the
President is expected; but as Congress has
abandoned Its main issue with the President
negro suffrage-and has adopted his policy, he
will not perhaps, think it worth while to push
the war with the radicals to extremities on the
issue between Executive and legislative usur-
patton. There is some generalship in the idea
of special session of our State Legislature
and Of Others, to ratify this amendment, as 1t
will clear the decks and give the republicans
the actual occupation Of the field in advance Of
the coming fall elections. In this view we await
the action Of the House upon the Senate amend
ment as for the first step in very important
programme

We were gratified to learn from Col. E. D.
Frost, the Superintendent of the Mississip-
pi Central road, that the company have re-
Gently purchased quite number of box
cars that will materially increase their IA
eilities for transportation, andlenable them
to meet the wants of the public in this re-
spect In a few weeks the road will be
running to Jackson Tenn, on the Mobile
and Ohio railroad, and daily trains put in
operation. Gen. West and Superintendent
Frost have been indefatigable in their eff
forts to procure rolling stock and hasten the
completion of the repairs of the road. 1t is
gratifying tn know that in a short time we
will again have daily trains and daily mails
on all our great thoroughfares. As soon as
the Central road is ready, the New Orleans
and jackson Roadswill resume dolly trains
and we will thus be put in daily connec

rank and power within their respective
dominions. The world itself is derived
from the Latin supreaRs, and took Its
nr.s..nt form amid the mutations of lam
ruage in modern Europe, still retaining
E enough Gifts original meaning TO signify
that the person to whom it IS applied is
the supreme power in the land.
No one can look into the Constitution
without finding abundant reason for dis
carding the expressions sovereignty
aud ..independence,' as>appiied to the
States. Allthe prohibitions laid upon
them, and all the grants to the general
Government, are SO much in derogation
of their powers, and strip them OF Sc
many of the attributes of sovereignty as
to render the expression little better
than mockery when applied to them
But the subject is too large for single
article, and will be resumed on anothe
occasion. IL

We publish elsewhere the intelligence
association, and are happy to see that Mr..
Clark, of the Mobile Advertiser and Reg

mirable talents for the work in hand, and
the valuable experience he has acquired,
we expect the Association to be speedily
put in efficient working order. Though
unable from engagements in other quar-

ings so far as reported, and anticipate
great satisfaction to ourselves and bene-
fit to our readers from this confederation

1A lively scene occurred few days
ago in the lower house ofthe Tennessee
Legislature, during the discussion of the
franchise bill, several members refusing
to vote.
Mr.. Mullins, says the Union, renewed
the demand. The Speaker said he had
no wer,imorrally orphysically, to force
members to vote, if they refused; hecould
call upon them bat there his power end
ed.
Mr.. Mullins-Yes; and I shouldn't
wonder ifthat was part ofthe bargain.
Mr.. Speaker Heiskell-Do you intend
that as a reflection upon me
Mr.. Mullins-You may take it on
yourself, if you like.
Mr.. Speaker Heiskell-You aread-d
old liar. You are an old lying scoun-
drel.
The same epithet was returned, when
| the Speaker threw his mallet at Mr.. Mul-
lins, who drew his pistol. Members al
once rushed in and quiet was restored.

CONSTITUTIONAL VITALITY.

Our correspondent H, in Fridays is
sue, While pleased with the spirit of our
remarks in our number of Sunday 18th
on ''the wiser course" criticises some
what the correctness of our intimation
that the Constitution of the United
States not now in existence, an pro-
ceeds to intimate that not only was
there no right of secession, but that the
right of revolution did not exist on our
part, in that it was not prompted "by in
saferable wrong and oppression
r We do not intend here to enter into
any discussion of these topics, not deem
ing this "the wiser course" but would
say that III. does not entertain any high
er regard for the Constitution of the
United States, or for those depBrted
statesmen and patriots, Washington and
Jefferson, than we do. We only regret
that they and their constitution could
not have survived to our day. II. seems
to think that because the law of God
remains in force, Notwithstanding its
constant violation, the laws of men do
also. Does heregard the Constitution of
the French Republic of 1s4s as having
now any vitalitality or those of Mexico
and of the South American republics,
nominally in existence but never obeyed
when they conflict with the retention Oh
obtaining of absolute powers
The object of constitutions in all gov
emments is to protect the weak against
the strong to restrain power, whether
in the possession of few or of the many
from iniuring those who are without it
and to interposs barriers and checks
against its suppression or violation
Whenever it ceases to do this it is val
ueless. Paralysis is not indeed death
but when it continues for series of years
and no remedial efforts are made TO re
store vitality to the deadened limbs o
the scarcely pulsating heart, the bod!
may we'll be regarded as rather dead thai
alive.
If II. will but remind himself that tn
Supreme Court of the United States ha
not yet ventured, after FIVE years of tn
presentation of the most vital and in
pOrtant questions involving the imm'
mites of individuals and the protectio
of minorities, for whose benefit the Cor
stitution was enacted, to decide upo
them: that at the beginning of tn
period the power tits Chief Magistra
to perform his constitutional function
was openly defed, and that his successo
himself the chief counsellor in that vi
lation of the Constitution, does not D
lieve he can with dignity and credit
the Union act as such when the usurp'
power of the other coordinate branch
of government overawes him, he viii s
ample reason to believe that the Cons

AURORA BoREALIs.-There was a
brilliant aurora Tuesday night, of which
we thought we recognized the fea-
lures in deep ruddy glow directly un-

of fire. After our paper was closed we
witnessed splendid display of columnar
