DIsoRDERLY SOLDIERs.-On Thursday
evening party Of FIVE or six soldiers, mem
bers Of the Fifth Regular Cavalry, got on a
spree, and committed a series Of depredations,
disturbing the peace and quiet of the deni-
zens Of Smokey Row, the favorite resort of
roughs and vagabonds of every hue. One
of their exploits was entering the brothel of
MoLIIE MAY, and stealing therefrom a vaIu-
able picture; another, the stopping of a ne
gro man and demanding money to buy a
bottle Of whisky, and severely beating the
poor wretch because he was too poor to com
ply with their demands The cries of the
negro brought down the police, when the
"bold soldier boys" took to their heels. The
ring-leader, however, was too heavily bur
dened with MoLIIE Mays picture, and he
fell into the hands Of the officers of the law.
He gave his name as DANIEL ELDRIDGE.
and was yesterday tried before Esquire
WILKINSON, who fined him S4S and sent
him to the wOrkhouse. None Of the others
have yet been captured. The Fifth Cavalry
is in fair way to lose the reputation it once
sustained Of being quiet and orderly regi-
ment Scarcely morning passes but some
Of its members are before the municipal
court for violating the peace Of the city.

The Constitutional Amendment


On Friday President Johnson sent the
following message to Congress in relation
to the proposed Constitutional Amendment.
Tis brief, lucid, and able document, and
speaks for itself:
submit to Congress a report of the Sc
cretary of State, to whom was referred the
concurrent resolution of the 18th inst, re-
specting submission to the Legislatures of
the States of an additional article to the
Constitution of the United States. 1t will
be seen from this report that the Secretary
of State, on the 18th instant, transmitted to
the Governors of the several States certified
copies of a joint resolution passed on the
10Th, proposing an anne ndment to the Con-
stitution. Even in ordinary times, ques-
zion of amending the Constitution must be
justly regarded as of paramount importance.
This importance is at the present time en-
HANGED by the fact that the joint resolution
was not submitted by the TWO Houses for
the approval of the President, and that of
the thirty-six States which constituted the
| Union eleven were excluded from repre-
| sentation in either House of Congress,
although with the single exception of Texas
they have been entirely restored to all their
functions of States, in conformity with the
organic law of the land. and haue appeared
at the National Capital by Senators and
Representatives, who have applied for and
been refused admission to the vacant seats,
nor have the sovereign people of the nation
been afforded an opportunity of expressing
their views upon the important questions
which the amendment involves. Grave
doubts, therefore, may naturally and justly
arise as to whether the action of Congress
is in harmony with the sentiments of the
people. and whether the State Legislatures
| elected without reference to such an issue
| should be called upon by Congress to de-
eide respecting the ratification of the pro-
posed amendment Waving the question
as to the constitutional validity of the pro-
ceedings Of Congress upon the joint resolu-
| ton proposing the amendment, or as to the
merits of the article which it submits thrO'
the Executive Department to the Legisa-
/ lures OA the SLaLeSs L OG6m II proper 10 o.
serve that the action taken by the Secretary
of Slate, as detailed in his report, are to be
considered as purely ministerial. and in no
sense whatever committing the Executive
to an approval of, or recommendation of the
amendment to the State Legislatures, or to
the people. On the contrary, proper ap-
| probation of the letter ahd spirit of the
Constitution, as well as of the interests of
national order, harmony and union, and a
Difference for an enlightened public judg-
mept may at this time suggest doubt as
to whether any amendment to the Constitu-
ton ought to be proposed by Congress and
passed on by the Legislatures of the several
States, for final decision, until after the adj
mission of such Senators and Representa-
tives of the non represented States as have
been, or may hereafter be chosen, in con-
formity with the Constitution and laws OF
the United States.
