Yesterday morning the community wa,

eide. A young man in the prime of early
manhood. enjoying fine health and with
fair prospects for the future, after m king
cool and deliberate preparations, which
we shall mention below, saw proper TO de-
stroy his existence, and thereby thrust
himself beyond the dark veil that shuts

The subject of this strange infatuation.

Thomas Mcneil Peters. son Of DR.. Geo.

three, served in the Confederate army as
a good soldier, and since the war has
been reading law down in mississippi.
He arrived in the city with his father
only day or two before. Sunday night

third floor over the store of Pitser Miller,

Some Of his friends asked him TO go to
church that night, but he declined. say

Yesterday morning he arose at Eve
o'clock. and vent over to the room Of Mr.
VIM. Newlem, and stated that he wanted
some chloroform, as his father was very
sick, but failed to obtain the article, and
returned TO bis room and to bee. After
some time, his father arose. dressed and
went out. 1t seems that he completed

into effect with great elaboration. Soon
after ten o'clock. a pistol was heard 10 the
room, where some gentlemen rushed. and

weltering 10 his blood. He had dressed
himself in full Confederate uniform and

WHAT is TIE CONSTITUTION !

1t is a maxim of the common law
Of England that her King or Queen
can do no wrong. In other words
that the Royal Crown-head is perfect,
and therefore subject to no direct
prosecution. Now, every one knows
that the first of these propositions is
an abSurdity; that kings, like other
men, are human, and sometimes even
venal, and that they frequently have
done wrong in England. But the
idea, however hypothetical, which
created this Royalty, and then cir
cumScribed it with all the attributes
of perfection, is a sublime one. There
are but three forms of government
in the main, which have ever been
in operation, in any country, either
before or since the christian era, and
these are LIST, Democracy; I'd, Ar
istOcracy, and Sd, Monarchy. Now,
absolute Democracy is an impossible
ity. All the other forms, of what
ever kind, except Monarchies, are
AristOcraeies; and it is only a mat
ter of choice, which of those a people
will choose to adopt. The govern
ment of the United States is one
Kind of aristocracy, as nearly de
Inocracy as it is possible to be; and
perhaps for that reason, It might b.
called democracy But whatever
NAV be the form of government il
any country, one of the necessary
concomitants of It's perpetsity-anC
without which, indeed, it must tOttel
and falls the idea of perfection in
the fountain head a head invested
with acknowledged wisdom and pow
or, superior to all others, no matter
what the fact may be; a head tc
which appeals and petitions may be
made, with the hope of redress and
protection head to which the peO
pie must look up and pay deferenc'

THE ExCLUDED STATES.

When the right of secession first
,ecame the subject of general public
discussion, one of the most effective
popular arguments used against it,
BY those who are now supporting the
,olicy of Phillips, Sumner and Ste
ems, was, that the concession, to a
State, of the right to secede from the
Jnion, necessarily involved the con-
ession, to a majority of the States,
If the right to expel State. And
his latter proposition was considered
80 outrageous that no one was found
,old enough to defend it. Yet these
very same men, having, under the
pretext-for it is simply pretext,
md a very shallow one at that-of
prosecuting a war for maintaining
the integrity of the Union, succeed
I'd in establishing their own party in
power, now adopt as good, sound,
constitutional doctrine the very dog
ma they pretended to be engaged in
|suppressing. For, if these two prop
|ositions are correlative, so that the
granting of one involves the grant
| ing of both, then the action of the
Radicals, in excluding eleven States
from the Union, justifies the action
of the seceSsioniStS in attempting to
withdraw the same States from the
Union. If Messrs. Sumner and Ste
vens have the right to eXpel eleven
States, then Messrs. Davis and Ste
phens had an equal right to with
draw the same States. There is no
escape from the dilemma. The
eleven States which formed the
Southern Contederacy are either in
the Union or they are not. If they
are in the Union, then the action OF
the Radical Congress in excluding
them from representation is not only
without right, but in defiance OF
light and of their own professed
principles. 1t is wholly lawless and
revolutionary. On the other hand
il the Southern States are out of the
Union, then the Union is not one in
VISIBLE, and the war, which was
aged professedly to maintain the in
gritty of the Union, was, in fact, a
.ere war of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
conquest, born of the spirit of lust
waged in the spirit of cruelty; and
now, as to it's results, in the spirit
oppression. 1t was, in short, sham,
a gigantic sham, the most gigantic
of all the shams of this age of gigan.
tie shams. And its sole purpose was
that an oligarchy of politicians might
seize upon the liberties of the coun-
try, while another Oligarchy of shod-
dy manufacturers, contractors and
placemen might plumber it at their
case.

eminent of any form, as do hypothe-
ses to the demonstration of some
mathematical propositions. The peo-
pie must first create the crown-head,
and then, assuming it all-wise. pay
Difference to it. This is true, of course
In qualified sense, as to it opera
ton but as tc the principle, it is in
trinsically true.
Now, where is our rown-head, so
to speak, in the United States2 In
other words, where is the chief au-
thority to which all good citizens
should pay Difference; Clearly in
the Constitution and the laws inter
preting it. That Constitution, then
is our only King, and to its protec-
ton alone can we appeal in justice +,
and when it fails to relieve the wants
of the people, revolution becomes a
right as of course, just as in mon
archial government. But it is, and
must be fundamental principal of
our government, as of any other,
that we have supreme and over
ruling authority, and that that au-
thority must be obeyed until it is
changed. The Constitution of the
United States inherits all it has of
royalty or of ordained" authority,
not from the mere circumstances of
death and succession, but from the
body of the nation, and it was not
adopted until it had been tested for
fifteen years, in the crucible $50 to
speak, Of public analytical debate.
Under this Constitution the nation
has lived and tlourished for nearly
century, and its prosperity was the
envy of the world, until the two
great sections, arraying themselves
in disagreement as to the construc-
ton of the fundamental law, resort
ed finally to the arbitrament of
arms.
1t is to no purpose now which side
was right; or which was wrong, or
whether both were wrong. The mis-
fortune is the same. But it will form
a rather remarkable episode in the
history of this war, that those who
claimed the prestige of fighting for
the maintenance of the Constitution,
as the palladium on which the ma
TONS safety hung, should have, du
ring the war, SO often substituted
necessity" for that venerable scroll,
and should now, on the very eve of
peace, be found handing in no less
than forty-nine official amendments
to its time-honored code. Verify, in
deed, must the trainers of that Con-
stitution have been stupid sold To-
gies." How long, if we may Judge
from the acts of the present Congress
at Washington, could revolution or
rebellion have been averted, even
had it not arisen in the South Time
alone, which makes all things even,
could answer this.
But we have had "some blood-let-
ting" and it is to be hoped that it
will suffice for at least another cen
fury. The Radicals in Congress will,
as they have always done, where
they could, infringe upon the COnsti-
tuition, and will breed war Ofraces,
or any other ruption which may
serve their party purpose.
But Radicalism is shOrt-liyed, and
like the canker, will eat out its own
heart and die. There is consolation
in this but there is the further hope
that, in the North, there is yet left
enough of conservatism to preserve
the Constitution as it is TickSbwg
