The Presiden1's message. W !.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger believes that enough
has been made known through persons
who have had private and confidential
conversations with President johnson to
authorize certain expectations as to what
the message will recommend, especially
in regard to reconstruction. We are as
sured that the tone of the message will
be pacific, if not conciliatory. In re-
gard to his plan of reconstruction, he
will assume that the only thing remains
ing to be done is the admission of legally
elected loyal representatives and that
that work beings to Congress Although
he has not during his admi nstratiou
deemed any further amendments to the
Constitution necessary, he will, in view
Of the exigencies OF the day, recommend
several other matters or subjects to be
embraced in the proposed amendments
to that instrument. Among them may
be mentionad the adjustment of the
Electoral College; the election of Presi
dent and Vice President directly by the
voters at largo the election of T.. s.
Senators by the voters at large, for the
term of twelve years each, one>third of
the entire number to be appointed every
four years. As Mr.. Johnson holds thar
under the Constitution the Executive
has the sole power to grant amnesty and
pardons, he will pot propose any action
by Congress respe citing the subject.
Although these opin ions are put for
ward with considerable confidence by the
usually we'll informed correspondent of
the Ledger, other writers believe and as
sert thot the President will make no rec>
concentrations whatever in regard to the
Constitutional Amendment. A brief in.
terval only, separates us from solution
Of this interesting question.

FACTS YA THEORIES.

"Give me place to rest my lever on, -
says Archimedes, land | will move the
world" "Give me pure and unadulter,
ated drugs" says Medicus, of the olden
times ''and | will cure disease"
In one sense, both of these learned
pundits were the veriest charlatans.-
They knew there was no place to rest
their lever on, either to move the world
or cure disease Mechanism was in a
backward state, and the med ical profess
ion was but another name for sorcery an
Il the adjuncts of magic filters an d
charms of the "evil eye," &c.
But these latter days have borne unto
us something more than even superstition
and its crew ever dreamt ofin their madest
philosophy. In these days of practical
science, what was theory of yesterday
as fact to-day, and all the old-tinie notions
become as bubbles in the sun, and burst
and break with every breath we draw.
Let Archimedes shoulder his lever and
We will find resting for it to move the
world. Let mine ancient Medicus pam
and toll no more for the drugs he so sorely
needs, for we have them at our hand
ever ready to serve them at his beck.
Refined in the labratory of Dr.. Mag
giel, the finest materials known in the
medical profession are obtaihabie by any
one. His Bilious, ,Dyspeptic, and Diar
rhea Pills stand tinrivalled, aud his Salve
operates with magical effect upon burns

In fact, we think MAGGIEL's Pills and

so many evi dences of the affections of

no good man in that great commonwealth

ES~ Althoug h, they are unwilling to
acknowledge it, there is no Disgusting
the fact that the late elections in the
North have had good effect on southern
politics, There is not that virulent dis
position manifested, at least to so geat
an extent, as heretofore. Governor Orr,
of Sou h Carolina, tells the Legislature
that "the Civil Rights bill, which has
beer enacted by the Congress of the Uni.
ted States, and must be resrected and
obeyed until pronounced unconstitution-
al by the Supreme Court of the United
States, gives the persons of color the
same rights in all the Courts, State as
well as Federal, as are enjoyed by the
white race; and, so long as white per-
sons are liable only in the superior Courts
for felony, the same privilege must be
awarded to persons of color. Notwith-
standing the supposed prohibition in the
State Constitution-the Constitution. OF
the United States being the supreme law
of the land The Governar further de,
clares that "'he experiment Of allowing
Negroes to testify in all cases has proved
mos: satisfactory, and has had salutary
influence in encouraging and elevatipg
their moral seLse." -
The Governor further bears testimony
to the success of free la Dor alleging that
where they have been literally compen-
sated they have labored faithfully. This
is an additional evidences of the disap-
rsala,cs sf JrsiGdics rom tho minds Of
