ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT
s,as as 4 IMPOSSIBLE. ~ t,,y vi

Ex-Governor Perry, who was made Pro-
visional Governor Of South Carolina by the
President says that man never can be dis
honored except by himself Others may
injure him and oppresS him; they may slam
der him and destroy him, but they can no
more dishonor him and render him infamous
than they can defame virtue, and truth, and
honor. The same may be said of people
or nation. Whilst tney pursue an honor-
able and patriotic course they cannot be dis
graced by the'insults, wrongs and expressions
of a stronger power, however tyrannical and
exacting that power may be. .. .t All.
The Southern people may be deprived Of
all political power in the Union, their prop
erty may be coniscated, and their distin-
guished and virtuous citizens gibbeted on the
gallows, but they cannot be rendered infa-
nous in history by any such barbarous and
inhuman conduct. Such course will only
dishonor and render infamous their oppressors.
do not concur with you in supposing that
the Constitutional Amendment will be adopt
ed by three-fourths of the States. am sure
this will not be the case. There are thirty
six States in the Federal Union, and this will
require the adoption by twenty seven. The
rejection of the amendment by ten States
will defeat IL. IL is morally certain--as GER
tain as any future event can be, depending on
human action-that South Carolina, Georgia,
Virginia, North Caroliua, Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and
kentucky eleven States-will not dishonor
themselves by adopting the proposed Consti-
tutional Amendment. TheIe are not, as you
say, Northern States enough to make the
requisite number to adopt the amendment
If adopted, 10 must he by the aid of two re'
creant States of the South besides Tennessee
This cannot occur.

From the National Intelligcncer.l


We are patient; we can stand any ordlna-
ry amount Of humbuggery; but we must
confess there is a point in this kind of base.
ness, of transparent demagogueism, that re-
volts us.
This point has been reached By the So
called Southern, loyalists, many Of whom
have been exposed as political mountebanks,
entering into sacred obligation, In the most
solemn form, at Mr.. LINCOLN grave, by
which they make "a new copsecration Of our
lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor, to
the service of our country" Just as if these
hollow pretenders could, more than truly
solid men Of all parties, take such VOWS un-
der solemn sanctionsi erffeW rs.Ft7.y q
If by this they mean to pledge themselves
as soon as possible TO accept, and as long as
possible to hold, any good Offices that may
be assigned to them on the first Radical d-
vision Of spoils, we completely understand
them, and have entire faith in their sinceri-
ty. But if they mean anything more than
this, or anything different from this, we
must beseech them not 10 make SO large a
draft on our credulity.
This is very good piece Of acting, but il
ought to have come of few days sooner,
so us to have contributed its mite towards the
elections f t' "th

The Pork Packing Season.

The New Albany (Ind.) Ledger Of Tues.
day says OF the condition and prospects Of
the coming hog-slaughtering season around
the falls of the Ohio "that not a single con-
tract has been made either in New Albany,
Louisville, or Jcslersonville. There will be
a large hog crop the present season. There
is an abundance OF the best corn TO feed
them on, and for this reason feeders are not
likely to crowd the market until their supply
Of corn Is pretty well exhausted. IL 10 be-
lieved that nearly four hundred thousand
hogs will be slaughtered in the cities around
the falls during the packing season of 1885,
'67. There are no prices established, ths
views of packers being widely different as 10
what should or would be the opening rates.
The price, 1t is believed, however, will be
between eix and half and and seven and o
half cents. These figures are, however, the
mere guesses Of packers. The probabilities
are that the opening price will be the same as
at Cincinnati 'ut'

The London Times on the Negro. +.

The London Times, in dilating on the
subject of negro suffrage in the United
States, says'
Why cannot the negro be declared citi-
zen and invested with all the rights Of man?
The real answer is that he is not a citizen,
and cannot be made citizen by a proclama
tion or law. We have unfortunately had
a little experience of our own in this matter.
We gave the Jamaica negro, in common
with his white master, civil equality and the
right of selfgovernment and see how II has
ended. All the negro's instincts and habits
go in the other direction. He is careless,
redulous and dependent; easily excited, ca
silly duped, easily frightened; always the
ready victim OF the stronger will. He is
material for the hands of anybody who
wishes 10 make use of him. Invested with
full political rights, the race must be q mag.
azine Of mischief. In Jamaica II appearf
that the negroes would imbibe, at a days
notice, any absurd delusion as to the author
| ity and wishes Of the British queen, OF the
commissioners, or anybody elsei but wha'
they were always looking for was something
TO be given, or something to be done for them
or some law 10 make them all rich, happ,
land owners, and tax free forever Such meT
are not citizens, call them so as we will

columns Of The Memphis Bulletin Of the 2sth
ultirno: 'ihi sia t.. I... .E.r1Agi
Judge Clayton, of Mississippi recently
held that legal tender notes were such q

war powers OF the the government. He also
held that tine suspension Of the statute Of,
