MARSHAL NEY's DEATH SCENE
The vengeance of the Allied Powers de-
manded some victims, and the intrepid Ney,
who had well nigh put the crown again
on the head Of Bonaparte, was one of
them. Condemned to be shot, he was led
to Luxemburs, on the morning of the 9TH
of December, and placed in front of file
OF soldiers drawn up in line to kill him
One OF the officers stepped up to bandage
his eyes, but he repulsed him, saying I:
" Are you ignorant that for twenty four
years | have been accustomed to face both
ball and bullets ?" He then lifted his hat
above his head, and with the same calm
voice that steadied his columns so fre-
quently In the roar and tumult of battle,
said " declare before God and man that

my death render her happy. IIUa la

and striking his hand on his heart, gave

A New Constitution.

We have during the past campaign asserted
that the Democracy were intent upon changing
the present Constitution of the State. The fol-
lowing from the Maryland Union, one of the
Democratic organs of Frederick County, will be
read with interest at this time
(" We must have new Constitution for Mary
Gland at the earliest possible moment, and steps
g should be Immediately taken to secure that de-
sirable object"
For what purpose is new Constitution for
Maryland desired The present one was the
work of one of the abest bodies ever convened
in our State, the majority of whom are probably
now with the conservative party, and there would
seem to be nothing particularly Objectionable in
it. Why, then, is a change desired Not that
the Registry law may be repealed, because the
conservative party is now its strongest advocates,
and say that the Legislature can make all the
changes in it that they require. The main reason
s0hy the Democratic party demands new COasti-
tuition is that the people may be taxed to pay for the
staUes liberated in Maryland. This daring
scheme must re consumated, and to effect it a
change in the organic law OF our State is required
The sum of thirty-fve millions of dollars must
be paid to the rebel ex-slaveholders of Southern
Maryland, and as our present Constitution for
bids the payment for slaves liberated in our
State, that instrument must be changed. Anoth-
er reason why change is required is that many
of the Union office-holders of our State must be
leeisIated out of Office to make room for copper
heads. We firmly believe that many of our
Judges and other officers, who have been called
to their. positions by the expressed will of a ma
iority of the people, will be turned ont by the
party now in power and their places given TO
blatant rebels
And further, our democratic friends are impa-
tent to begin this work. They are not content
to await the regular meeting of the Legislature
in January, but are camorous for an extra ses-
sion, to assemble early in December, so that their
cherished schemes may be pushed through with
the mos; "rapid speed" They have the power,
and we greatly fear they will use it to the injury
of the people of our State.

AsDauw JOHNSON FOR THE AMnNDMnar.-The

ANDREW JOHNSON FOR THE AMENDMENT The
GreenvilIe Tenn Nsw Era publishes the sever
al sections Of the proposed Constitutional Amend
ment seriatim, and quotes from the public declara
tons of the President to show that he has, at
one time or another, publicity committed him
self to the principles Of each Of them The ari-
Gle concludes thus
We have thus attempted to show that the spirit
and intention of the Constitutional Amendment
is that the Government shall be controlled by the
loyal citizens-the men who won its preservation
at the swords point; that it rests content with
securing to the negro his life, liberty and proper
ty, and leaves the subject of suffrage to the States
where it belongs We have gone further and
shown by his public record that Andrew Johnson
has endorsed every proposition contained in the
Amendment. Why not, then, all unite and settle
down on this Amendment as the settlement of the
question The simple reason is that johnson has
repudiated the platform on which he was elected
and gone over to the enemy. Those who love
man better than they do a principle may follow.
Well none of it,

A Day of National Thanksgiving.

-
1t is an agreeable subject for meditation that
the President of the United States can do some
things which need not arouse political discus
sons.. His proclamation recommending Thurs
day next, as day of thanksgiving and praise to
Almighty God is one in which persons of all
shades Of opinion can approve. In our political
differences we are ell anxious TO take care ofour-
selves, according to our own ideas of our own,
interests But while we are intent upon our
plans of worldly benefit and success, there is
ONE above who takes care ofus and enables US
to devote such attention to National affairs as
may choose to give them. Without this kind
care OF an overrulng Providence, all the hopes
and ambitions of men would be depressed, and
could not even exist. There can be no indul-
gence in the disputes which disturb men, no
prosecution of the objects of their ambition, when
God denies them those blessings without which
lite isa burden and all worldly enterprise and
ambition useless. IL it should be the will Of
Providence that pestilence shall desolate us if
He should withhold the rains from Heaven or the
cheering influences of the golden sun, misery
and desolation would overspread the land, and
all thought would be absorbed by the suferings
which every family endured. 1t is only when
country is prosperous, when men have the means
and the time to devote themselves to affairs OF
State, that political excitements run high, and
undue importance is attached to what may be
abstract questions Putting aside, therefore, all
INQUIRY as to whether this or that policy us
best, every citizen can unite in approval of the
recommendation of the President of the United
States and of the Governor of Maryland, that
Thursday next, the 10th day day of November,
be recognized as day ofNational Thanksgiving
We owe thanks to God that peace has been
maintained dusing the year that our fields
have produced plentifully that pestilence
which has desolated many lands has scourged US
less heavily than others that we are at peace
with all other nations and that no difference
with foreign powers lowers gloomily over our
prospects. For these blessings we owe to go
our humble and hearty thanks Wecani
these great benefits in mind and grateful
knowledge them. The President, in calling our
attention to this duty, suggests that which will
be agreeable and ought to be eagerly embraced
by all.

VA There is another accumulation OF rumors
that President Johnson intends to yield to the
popular verdict of 400, 900 against bis policy, =
and to endorse the proposed amendment. Scraps
Of talks he has had with politicians and a
letter from Cabinet minister are printed to
show that there is something in these surmises
Meanwhile Mr. Johnson is cutting off Republican
heads and putting Copperheads into Office, the
same as before the elections. In the South he is
prosecuting Union men with savage spirit, and
honoring the traitors alone. The comment is
pore truthful than the text.

is question some of the foremost journals, adj

The Interrogation shows that observant men of
