CARLYLE on fANArICIsM.-The fanatics
Of the Exeter Hall type In England arc de-
sirous to get the blood of Ex-Governor
EYRE, Of Jamisca, because Of his decided
and summary measures to put down the
black insurrection In the island he go
verned. They are following him up with
vindictiveness very much resembling that
exhibited by the northern Radicals 10.
wards President DAvIsa and other prominent
southern men.
The Conservatives Of England-nay, the
fair handed and enlightened gentlemen Gil
over the kingdom, are indignant at this
british persecution, and fund has been
raised for the defence of Governor EYRE.
A committee has been appointed to direct
the manner Of its employment. The dis
tincuished CARLYLE Is q member Of this
committee. He has recently written let
ter which has drawn down upon him the
vituperation of the negrophilists. The
London Ne,os, the Exeter Hall organ, de-
uounces him with much energy. 1t says
"he has become, by sedulous self-indul-
gence, voluptuous in cruelty" and that che
has cultivated intellectual taste for blood"
Thus speaks the organ of the most relent-
less set of prosecutors that ever lived.
CARLYLE, in letter consenting to be one
of the committee to take charge of the
fund for the defence Of Governor EYRE,
says:
THE English nation never loved anarchy,
nor was wont to spend its sympathy on mise
rable. mad seditions, especially Of this inhu.
man and half.brutish type; but always loved
order and the prompt suppression of seditions,
and reserved It's tears for something worthier
than promoters Of such delirious and fatal en-
terprises who had got their wages for their
sad industry. Has the English nation changed,
then, altogether fiatter myself il has not,
not yet quite; but only that certain loose, su-
perficial portions OF ii have become great
deal louder, and not any wiser than they ior
meTly used TO be.
~ make you welcome to my name Tor your
committee, and TO whatever good II can DO
YOU. With the hope only that many other
British men, of far more significance in such
a matter, will at once or gradually do the like,
and that In fine. by wise effort and persist
ence. r blind and disgraceful act OF public IN.
justice may be prevented

several months in New York. 1t is one of

logy it supports the Catholic view, its lite
rary merits, apart from doctrinal matters,
are of very high order. The leading
article, "Problems Of the Age" is one of
marked ability. The article upon Ger
NANTES is admirable. The "GOdfrey

the pen of q close observer and astute

The UNITED STATES WANTS AN ISLAND
The foreign letter-writers have found q
mares nest. The United States Govern.
ment is said to feel the want Of an island
in the Mediterranean, and has besought
the Sultan Of Turkey for one for the pur.
pose Of . naval post, for coal, stores, SC
As such matter would be contemplate
without concurrent incident, the chroni-
clers make out that the subject ofthe island
has given rise to much diplomacy, and that
France and England both urge the Sultan
not to give it to Uncle Sam. In consider
ing the question, however, We must not
forget what the Sultan owes to England
and France for saving his bones from the
Russian bear, and, furthermore, the cozy
hobnobbing, which is constantly going ON
between Uncle Sam and the Bear. The
argument seems strongly against the island,
but can Uncle Sam be kept out! X

Our usually accurate con temporary the Rich
mond Dispatch says that the proposed consti-
tutional amendment would "realy disqualify
bnt few persons in any community IRON
holding office.
The amendment proscribes lin addition to
others) every person who, rs an executive or
judicial officer Of State, shall have taken an
oath to support the Constitution Of the United
States and shall have afterwards engaged in
rebellion. This covers clerks, magistrates,
sheriffs, attorneys for the commonwealth,
commissioners of the revenue, constables, no
taries, &C., &c.
II covers the case of any person who at any
time held such an office, and took the oath
mentioned, and afterwards engaged in rebel
lion. 1t would apply 10 magistrate Of 1850
or $50. This is very large element in the
community.
The law requires these persons to take the
oath TO support the Constitution OF the United
States. 1t may be that in practice the admin
is.ration of the oath has been neglected. But
how could you prove this in any particular
case
The Dispatch we should add remarks that
" the objection to this provision Is, that to
adopt IL the South must act in bad faith to her
best men
We take issue here again with the Dispatch.
II the class We're really small one land there
We're no other objections TO the constitutional
amendmenD our duty to the people would re-
guire that we should disregard the aspirations
Of the few. II this clause Of the amendment
merely struck our old politicians. we should
make but little fuss about it.-Chdrlottesrftfe
chronicle.
The proposed amendment is penal in its
nature, and therefore, as the Chronicle of
course knows, must he construed strictly.
Undersucha construction, clerks, nOtaries,
and commemorative attorneys ought not
TO he considered executive officers"
Commonwealth attorneys are " executive
officers" in no sense in which judges are
not.
But let that pass. The point We wish
10 make is that these officers are not to be
considered as having "cngaged in the re-
bcllion" merely because they resided in
the Confederate States during the war.
They must have actually committed some
overt act. A less strict construction would
not he tolerated, We imagine. A mans
estate cannot be taken from him under the
contiscation act until his guilt has been
proved in court and judicially declared.
So also it would be, or at least ought to be,
in regard to his rights as citizen.
To choose men for leaders and after
wards consent to disfranchise them for
leading us would not be In keeping with
the Virginia character and we are conf
dent that the editor of the Chronicle will
not be one Of those who will ever be guilty
Of such an act of bad faith.
