what measures must be passed before adj
journment. The TIME for adjournment will
be discussed. A plan for recess till
November may be considered Those who
do not wish to adjourn, allege that as soon as
Congress adjourns, the President will call
Congress together in special session, at short
notice, summoning all the Representatives and
Senators elect or to be elected, from the

New York, July 1.-THE Persia has ar
rived up. The following is her news via Liv-
erpool down to the Both:
The war news is rather conflicting, but late
dispatches from Berlin claim decisive and inn
portant victories for the Prussians. After the
affair of the 9th near Skalitz, the Vienna
dispatches claim victory and assert that the
Prussan defeat was complete. On the other
hand the Prussian accounts are directly to the
contrary, and claim that the Austrians were
driven back and pursued by the Prussan
troops.
London, June 30-The Times says it is
difficult yet to bring the Austrian and Prus-
sian bulletins to agree as to the final result of
the affair at Skalitz. The Austrians, TO
doubt, had the best of it in this encounter,
though the advantage they obtained is by no
means decisive.

Hard to Satisfy.

The Tribune, some time since, cried out in
voice of virtuous indignation against South
Carolina, because the negroes were net allow
ed to testify in cases affecting their own
rights The New York News, in reply, shows
the mendacity of the Tribune statement, and
quotes the opinion of the Chief Justice of
Carolina, which opinion establishes
"1st That persons of color, under the Doth
and both sections oil the ACT to reorganize
the District Courts, are competent witnesses
in the Court of Sessions in all cases of felony
committed by whites on the person or proper
ty of person of color ID That they are
competent to make affidavits and sue out war
rants against whites in felonics and misde-
meanors, and also to testify before grand
iures in such cases, as we'll as on the trial be-
fore the petit jury. And Sd. That, until
the District Judges are commissioned, the
Court of General Sessions retains jurisdiction
of cases of misdemeanor committed by whites
on the person or property of colored per-
sons"
Detected in its shameless imposition on its
readers, the Tribune now has the audacity to
complain that a negro "shall not be allowed
to tell Jury that he saw white sign his
name to contract with another white. p"
The Tribune, which once prayed to see gaunt
mothers, lean with famine, holding starving
babies to bosoms where the fountain of life
was dried by the pangs of hunger, cuts a
sorry figure when it talks about 'obstructing
the course of justice among the "whites."

The Radicals Stultifying Themselves.

1t is common thing for us now to see the
dominant majority in Congress, ontraging the
dictates of common sense aud public decency
in their party management and disgusting
legislation. They embody in the shape of
laws Or amendments to the Constitution the
most palpable infames; and change from the
theory that the Southern States, as such, are
dead, to recognition of them as living po-
ty. They have lungs of leather, foreheads of
brass, and consciences of India-rubber They
have all the malignant temper of the Assem-
bly, Of revolutionary France, without the
courage of that body and they disclose to
the world the infamy of their schemes undig-
nifed by the energy of action. They make a
revolution on paper, but when opposed
shrink from consummating it by force. They
rattle the scabbard, but are too timid to draw
the sword They have been called the Am
erican Rump, and as the Rump they will go
down to posterity. In evidence of this ter
giversation, we need only cite the fact, that
these people have been relying on Tennessee
and Louisiana for the adoption of their con-
stitutional amendment Now if the South
ern States are conquered provinces-if their
functions as political communities are sus-
pended-if they have sunk into territorial
condition-if, in short, they are out of the
Union, why permit them to vote; OF if they
vote, why recognise their voices2 The Con-
stitution says, Art V, that amendments sub
mitted in the mode therein prescribed ''shall
be valid to all intents and purposes, as part
of this Constitution, when ratified by three
fourths of the several States, or by conven-
tons in three fourths thereof" So far from
getting three fourths of the States, they will
lose New Jersey, Delaware, Indiana, Mary
land and Kentucky; while it is thought, by
