The CoSsTITUTIoS requires that the person
elected 10 the Presidency shall be "a natural
born citizen, or n citizen of the United States
al the time of the adoption Of the Consutu. 4.
tion and who shall have attained the age OF
lhirty-fve years, and been fourteen years
resident of the United States
The residence required is residence in the
United States; the citizenship required is clti-
zenship of the United States; and we do not
suppose that 4 person residing within the terri
Jorial limits of the Union is any the less re-
sident or citizen of the United States because
he is not domiciied within the jurisdiction OF
one Of the State governments. The logic that
the dsfranchisement Of Tennessee renders
Andrew Johnson ineligible to the Presidency
Is, therefore, very absurd and very ridiculous.

Constitution which requires that the electors
shall vote for candidates for President anu

OpposEn TO RAISING LARGE CROP OF
CuTroN-The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer, re-
frrriug to the efforts proposed to be made by
New York city TO increase the cotton crop OF
the South 10 five millions of bales, makes this
remark:
IL our opinion. the interest Of the South
mprratyely requires that the cotton crop
shall not exceed half that amount for several
wears 10 come. Our reasons for this opinion
W. gave the other day"
The idea is, we believe, that two millions OF
bales would bring as much money into the
South as four millions of bales would; the
price being governed by the number of pounds
grown. And while, if she raised four million
bales, she would have 10 lay out half the mo-
ucy for provisions, she would, if she raised
only Two millions, be able TO supply herself
with provisions from the soil and save all the
he receipts from cotton. This is very good
reasoning, granting the premise to be true !;
but i there not danger that TO keep cotton up
Ia 81 high figure might stimulate its production
elSewhere2 And by growing all the cotton she
can, may not the South utterly break down all
competition?

BILLIARD EXHIBITION FOR THE LADIEs.-at

the proprietors of the new Billiard Temple, a
large number of ladies and gentlemen assem-
bled 10 witness match game between Messrs.
Phelan and Carme. No gentlemen were ad-
mitted except as escorts 10 ladies. The COM
pauy was select and composed of the best
people of Richmond.
A billiard room on so large scale and so
beautifully fitted up, was new thing TO the
ladies, and called forth their admiration. 1t
is to be hoped that, after seeing the quletness
and order of the room, the beauty of its de-
coration, the neatneSs and elegance OF the
game, and the Artistic perfection to which 1T
can be brought, that the ladies will not here
after associate billiards in their minds with
some of the more Objectionable haunts OF men.
At least, they can now understand the Won
dcrful fascination of the game.
The play of the contestants was fine, exhl-
biting all the wonders that the obedient ivory
balls can perform 1T the bidding of Il master
player. Mr.. Carme won. After the close OF
the game Mr. Carme called forth the wonder
and applause of the company by the exhibition
of his wonderful fancy shots. Everything
that balls can do they did. Kissing " fore
ing" and following" diverging and running
around the table in every direction, and COM
ing together again ut the appointed places,
jumping over each other, jumping up on hats
and in hats to touch each other, and finally
closing with 4 scrub race of six balls, chasing
each other and crossing each other in every
direction, and finally settling down very ami
cably in n little chalk circle that had been pre-
viously drawn rs their destination, "A thing
of billiard is Il JOY forever"
