CHANGES IN THE HABITS OF THE SOUTHERN
PEoPLE.-The Richmond (Va.) Times thus com
ments upon the changes for the better wrought
among The southern people by the ordeal they
have passed through:
There are many striking changes wrought in
the habits and customs of our people, by the
stress Of circumstances. They can no longer
lead those lives Of ease aud idieness to which sa
very was not only temptation, but, in a measure
rendered almost unavoidable in the man of wealth
and leisure. The village pOstotfice, inn crossroads
grocery and court-green, are no longer the scenes
upon which idle, dissipated men, young and old,
spend the greater portion of their time. 1t is that
whisky is dear and greenbaCks are scarce; but
these considerations do not eXp.ain the moral and
social phenoemna which we are called upon to
witness. The people have changed with the times
and their circumstances, and wisely realize the ne
cessty of conforming to the necessities of their al
tered condition. The vapid l0ud-mouthed polti-
clan is no listened to with rapt attention and
curiosity, and he has sense enough to hold his
tongue where the people take so little interest in
politics that he woEd not secure an audience.
Speechmaking is now voted bore. 1t consumes
valuable time, and the people find it difficult to
discover how eloquent harangues on the huStngs
are at all likely to tighten taxes or help
the political situation. They have vague
suspicion that too much talking brought the war
and ruin upon u.s. and that those are the best off
now who think much and say little. We dare say
they are right; nor can it be denied that there is
world of philosophy in their paasonings upon
this SUBJECT
''The revolution in sentiment and action to
which we have alluded, Is confined to no partcu-
lar class at the South itprevades all classes of
our white population. The changed condition ol
affairs, like anew pair of shoes or boots, may rub
and pinch at first, butultimateIy may be worn with
ease and comfort. Ours is not people to sit
forever whining and repinipg by the banks of the
stream of human progress and watch 5he remnant
of their prosperity floating off upon its surface
No, they have enough Ango Saxon courage and
energy left to dash into the water and rescue
the fragments Of whatever may be left them
worth preserving. Those who think that the
South like great moral coward, will fall pros.
trate, and grove forever in the dust and ashes Of
despair, are grievously mistaken. She will do no
such thing bRt conscious of her merit and untar
nshed honor, she will, ere long, ast0nnd the world
by achievements in every domain Of science and
art"

Our Position.

The greatest danger which besets US as nation
at the present time, is we fear, that true po-
siton islost sight of by those who undertake to
include the destlnes of our country by remUding
our Constitution.
Our government is not one nor can be, Of brute
force, or compuision. The very moment it be-
comes necessary to hold any portion Of the State
or nation to their allegiance by compulson through
military or any kind OF physical force, that mo
ment a republican government is at an end
We arenot to, we cannot, copy our course from
any Of the existing forms of government in the
world outside Of our own for the basis Of all
others is essentially radically different.
We are government by compact. We profess
and the whole theory OF our government rests
upon the idea, that the expressed wall Of the peo-
pie is law, and therefore that it is Indispensable
that there should be an expression Of the popular
will, in order that the government should be car
red on, and not simply harmonionsly but at all.
Say it is necessary, even under circumstances
OF difficulty like these which now environ US, as a
consequence of the late rebellion, that physical
force shall for 4 time hold those in order who
were lately engaged in the rebellion, but have
now laid down their arms and acknowledge fealty
to the laws of the land and to the Constitution
against which they raised the opposing arm; and
you say nothing more nor less than that the eX-
pertinent of a popular government has failed
You say that there is no hope for humanity better
than the old plea of deSpOtsn-that the many
shall be servants to the few, and that F." might is
right "-and governments can live only by its
exercise. Hit is necessary now that power shall
cOerce those whose patriotism we cannot trust
their professed willingness to obey the laws Of
the land, backed BY the oath Of allegiance, when
will the time be that physical force will not be
necessary When, if not to-day, will it be proper
to take off the restraints Of physical force, and
permit the people Of the States to exercise their
constitutional rights under a free government
based upon the consent of the governed?
1t is said by those who now oppose the Presi-
dent in his efforts to barmonize conflicting opin-
ions and action, that this will be done whenever
the South will give guarantees" of fidelity, and
that such guarantees ought to be demanded. But
should not the North and other sections of the
land be required to give guarantees for their ad-
herence to the Constitution as well as the South
Are these sections of the country now ready to
abide by the provisions of the Constitution
AYE, there's the rub They are willing to
take, but not to give. Not only 50 they now, in
the face of all their professions Of loyalty insist
on changing the provisions Of the Constitution,
and compelling others to acquiesce
a word expresses the whole matter. A gov
ernment like that under which we have lived. as
constituted by our fathers must live in the affec-
tions and willingness of the people, if at ALL
a despotism may for a time be sustained by
compusion, but democratic government never

of the House to impeach is unlimited by common
law, precedent or any other law, save the higher
law, under which it can impeach for any thing or
every thing, it fit The tribunal of the Senate
to judge is two-thrds Of the Senators present.
all other details Of form and manner Of pro-
cedure are left by the Constitution to be de-
termined from time to time by custom, common
sense, the nature of the case, and public justice,

as to do whatever justice and the public good may

with delirium tremens recently. The Two men
were at first appalled, with terror. They appealed
to the madman to stop, but he needed them not,
and drove the engine faster and faster. He
sounded the whistle at Central City, the first sta

was carried forward about a mile at a pretty
rapid pace. On coming to stop he took an in
