The south and the Amendment.

Inc New York Times, Herald and
Evening Post, are laboring hard to
convince the South that it should
adopt the ruinous invasion of the
principles of republican liberty, known
as the Constitutional amendment
THESE journals do not pretend to say
the amendment is right, or proper,
but they urge its ratification because
they hold that the public sentiment of
the North demands it. What. that
because the radicals demand it, we
should give the negroes all the privi-
leges and immunities enjoyed by the
white man, i. E., to sit on juries, to
vote, and by law force himself into
our company, in the halls of legisla-
ton, in the cars, at the table, in
hotels, and, in fact, to be our
equal in every respect. To adopt
a clearly unconstitutional measure
adopt a measure of positive evil.
and then have no guarantee that
radical rapacity will be gratifed.
We are mistaken in our own people if
they thus cater to puritanical senti-
ment We abolished slavery, repudi
ated the Confederate war debt, elected
members to Congress and adopted the
former amendment, with the distinct
understanding that we would receive
all the rights and privileges enjoyed
by the other States. How was the
pledge fulfilled? A glance at the
proceedings of the last Congress will
tell. Congress has given us no guar
antee whatever; nor is the amendment
now in question a Congressional plan
of restoration. A proposition to
make it so was defeated While we
do not believe the North has any right
to say on what terms we shall exer
else our guaranteed rights in the
Union, we are of the opinion drawn
from the signs of the times, that the
South may be ultimately forced to sub
nit to the terms offered. Our only
hope lies in the success Of the John
son party, and it is already danger
ously threatened by the bOisterous
waves of radical fury. But whatever
may be our fate, let us meet it manful-
ly as we have met dark calamities be
fore. Let us contribute no more to
our own enslavement; let us not aid
in the manufacture of thongs with
which to bind our own limbs. We
must give cordial support to the
President and the Constitution and
Union as it was; do what we can to
maintain law and order-allay section
al feeling, and convert the heteroge-
NOUS mass into a homogeneous one,
but touch not the Constitutional
amendment. If we are to be hand
ed over to the Radicals let the act
| be done by Northern force. Let us re
main passive until the deed is perpe-
trated by the exercise of arbitrary
power and not by the sanction of our
own laws. We ask nothing but our
rights under the present Constitution,
and if we cannot get them let us have
nothing to do with the formation OF
an oppressive constitution.

The New Orleans Railroad.

We published yesterday a commu-
nication in reference to the general
management and policy of this road,
which, so far from endorsing, we
deemed unjust in its main features
The present Directors and other of
ficers have accomplished wonders in
the reconstruction and equipping of
the road, and have labored under pc
culiar difficulties in effecting what has
already been accomplished. Its finan
cial affairs were in almost a hopeless
condition, and it required the most
persevering negotiatins and financier-
ing skill of Generals Beauregard and
Adams, to effect an arrangement by
which the road has been relieved from
serious embarrassment. We are fully
satisfied that the management is now
in the hands of honest and capable
men, who, while they viii be alive to
the interests of the road, will not dis
regard the obligations which the cor
poration owe to the public. AT the
same time that we deem it our duty
to say this much, we wish it under
stood that our columns are open to
legitimate criticisms of all corpora
tons, institutions and measures, char
tered by the State, or which affect the
public veal; and we do not think that
the writer in our issue of yesterday
was actuated by any other motive
than to subserve the public good. He
is an intelligent, public-spirited citi-
en-, and usually cautious in his state
ents.

GAYoso HOTEL, MEMPHIS, TENN.
Ocfnher 2rd 1855


Dear Clarion Il have, after three months
stay, left my pleasant and agreeable sum-
mer resort in Carroll county, and returned
to the ''rdr path" of newspaperdom. Hence
forward / shall sound your Clarion notes to
the people wherever l roam.
arrived here yesterday evening by the
Mississippi and Tennessee train at 4:3O, and
it being too late for business occupied my
time in making diligent inquiry in reference
to the cholera, health of the city, business
prospects. &c l am informed by DR.. Otey,
one of tho health officers, and celebrated
physician of the city, that there has been
81 cases Of cholera i'll the last A. hours and
Is deaths, whites and 3 blacks.
He informs me that great majority of
them are among the common class of people
who live at the end Of the streets, on the
bayous, and who drink water from slepes OF
filth He says there is no danger In coming
to Memphis on business, if the proper pre-
caution is used Be particular In diet and
not expose yourself by keeping unusual hours
and drinking too much whisky. | walked

would advise all persons in the country who
have business here to come and attend to it,
and go home.
The Gayoso Hotel is the best cholera pre-
reItatire have found. 1t is situated on high
ground, not surrounded by any Of the low
novels of filth and impurities which engen-
der the disease. Their rooms are kept in
splendid order-beds neat and clean. They
boil all the water used in the house, and
take particular care not to have any article
of food on their table which it is improper
to eat on occasions of this kind. In fact,
feel more secure at the 4" Gayoso," from dis
ease, than think it possible at any other
place in the city.
regret very much to see the death of DR.
r. L. Taggart announced this morning He
was noble gentleman, and a good physi-
clan. He was the Surgeon of the 42d Missis-
sippi regiment, in Virginia; and | feel that
the members of the AID will shed a tear Of
regret at this announcement.

The REASON WHY.-There has been
quite a rush of ladies for several days
past toward the south. end of Main
street; the cause of which, we are in
formed, is the opening of a large and
splendid stock Of dry goods at the
store Of S. @. Newcomer u Co. They
have a truly superb assortment of dry
goods, clothing, etc, and are prepared
to offer great bargains to all who may
give them Il call.

The ReyeIry of Death.

The poetic qualities of the Irish race ar,
as patent as its heroism. Here is poem b,
an Irish officer in the Saxon service in Brit
ish India, written some years ago during thu
reign of a fearful pestilence. 1t is full o
that reckless disregard of life which TIN
victims of the tyrant everywhere feel Tn
poem is good though sad, and we common,
it to the lovers ofdeep despondency-to tn,
ietsoms and tiotsOms of every nation on til
face of the earth. The writer of the poem
was seized with the cholera very soon afte
he wrote the last line, and was himself a.
most the next that died:
We meet meath the sounding rafter
And the walls around are bare
And they shout to our peas OF laughter
l seems thai the dead are there
But stand to your glasses s'eady
We drink to your comrades eyes.
Quaffa glass to the dead already;
And hurrah for the next that dies
Not here are the goblets flowing:
Not here is the vintage sweet;
lis cold, as our hearts growing
And dark as the doom meet.
But stand to your glasses STEADY
And soon shah our pulses rise
a cup TO the dead already
Hurrah for the next that dies.
Not sigh for the lot that darkles:
Not a tear for the friends that sink
Wen fall midst the wine-cuP's sparkles
As mute the wine drink
So stand TO your glasses, steady
lis this that the respite buys
One cup to the dead already
Hurrah for the next that dies
Time was when we frowned at Others;
We thought wiser then
Ha Ia! let them think Of their mothers
Who hope to see them again
So stand to your glasses steady
The thoughtless are here the wise;
A cup to the dead already
Hurrah for the next that dies.
There's many hand that's shaking
There's many q check that's sunk:
But soon though our hearts are breaking.
They'll burn with the wine we've drunk
So stand to your glasses. steady
lis here the revival lies;
a cup TO the desd already;
Hurrah for the next that dies
There's mist on the glass eOnceaing;
lis the hurricanes fiery breath;
And thus does he warmth of feeling
Turn ice in the grasp of death.
Ho stand 70 your glasses, steady
For moment the yapor flies;

make these reductions on account of

Judge Handy's Decision on the Civil
Rights Bill.

Judge Handy's Decision on the Civil
Rights Bill.
The communication in the Clarion
of the 4th inst, on this subject, is cal
culated, II not intended, to produce the
impression that the constitutionalitv
of the Civil Rights Bill was i'm
properly taken into consideration
that is, that the question does not
properly arise in the case before the
Judge. The questions are asked ''how
did he get hold Of the cjpil rights bill and
the question Of citizenship :" and ''achy
hurry up the civil rights bill for judg-
ment in this way ?"
The prejudice calculated, or intend
ed to be produced, an certain quarters
against the decision is easily removed
by reference to the case presented
One of the main grounds relied on
in justification of the free negro upon
the charge of carrying fire arms, is
shown to be, under the Odd Section
of the Bill of Rights of Mississippi,
declaring that ''egery citizen has the
right to bear arms in defense of him
self and of the State" The question
then arose, 1Oos the free negro "a Cit
GEN. of this State ? 1t was cOntended
that he was citizen !, and that charac-
ter was claimed by rirtue Of tie progis-
ions of the civH rights 6U-so that the
question was directly presented,
whether the civil right bill is consti-
tutional and valid.
This fully appears from the opinion
of the Judge as published in the
Clarion" and is a full answer to the
above questions of "Quere."
