Then he proceeds Immediately after to
state in very clear and forcible language that
the constitution oonfers no such power upon
congress. / will read q part of what he
says:
Among the powers expressly granted to
congress is the power to establish a uniform
rule of naturalization Ii 10 NOT doubted
that this is power to prescribe rule for
the removal of the disabilities consequent on
foreign birth.
1T appears, then, that the only power ex.
pressly granted to congress to legislate con
corning citizenship 10 confined to the remov.
al Of the disabilities of foreign birth"
Leaving the inquiry whether there is in
the constitution any express authority CON-
ferred upon congress to legislate at all in re-
lation to the status of citizenship, he pro-
ceeds to inquire whether there exists any i'm.
piled power to accomplish the same end, and
examines all the clauses
whether there be any thing in the oonsti-
tuition from which q broader power may be
implied, will best be seen when We. come to
examine the two other alternatives, which
are, whether all free persons born on the
soil of the several states. or only such of
them as may be citizens of each state, respec-
lively. are thereby citizens of the United
States. The last of these alternatives, in my
judgement, contains the truth"
That is to say, there 10 no power, express
or implied, which confers upon congress any
authority to declare what free persons are to
to considered as citizens because of their
birth within Q state except such, or 10 use
his own language. that 1t is true only of such
as may be citizens Of each state, and because
they are citizens of each state by virtue of
their birth they become citizens of the Unit
Cd States. That, and that alone, contains the

WONDERFUL PROPHECY.

We clip from an old number of the
YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER, issued September
26th, 1861, the following strange prophecy.
Though exciting but little attention at the
time, the singular fulfluent of its predic-
tiops render it remarkable. NosTRADAM-
Us-the author-was an astrologer who
wrote about the beginning of the seven
teenth century, and many of his predictions
upon the state of Europe have been veri.
fed. In his Prophecies ct Vaccinations,
published in the year 1909, this paragraph,
SO remarkably prophetic of events in this
country, appears:
"About that time (lS6l) great quarrel
and contest will arise in country beyond
the seas-America. Many poor devils will
be hung and many poor wretches killed by
q punishment other than cord. Upon my
faith you may believe me. The war will
not cease for four years, at which none
should be at all astonished or surprised, for
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1866-02-22
THE "SITUATION."

Congress, thus far, exhibits no evidence
of back down from its policy of terrific
rializing the South, and President JOHNSON
with equal 6rmness stands strictly upon his
grand platform of Constitutional right
But the contest withal, is beginning to tell
upon the country, and predictions of its f.
nal result may be ventured, with tolerable
certainty The country is sufficiently fret
ted with radicalsm The most clamorous
supporters of STEVENS, SUMNER, ct i'd
omne genus, are beginning to manifest their
disloyalty and impatience with Congress -
The negro has, in their opinion, had his
share of the attention of that body, and the
great affairs of the nation ought now to be
attended to.
The result is gathering of the conser-
vative strength in the North, to the support
of the President. Mass meetings to com.
bine and utilize this element are called for
in various localities. New York proposes,
by Democrats, Republicans, Copperheads,
and all the other iteS and isnas, to exhibit in
grand mass meeting, soon to come of, its
repugnance to this unceasing war upon the
South, and its confidence in the Admins
tration or, in other language, the policy of
Congress will sour the governmental pap,
and New York, and the other big Atlantic
cities do not wish to be cut loose from the
pletboric coat.tails of Uncle Sam. This
question of patronageis the most potent lever
that can be brought to bear upon public opin.
lon. Its influence has been so boundless and
dangerous in other times, as to cause the most
serious alarm to those who believed rightly,
that the popular will should flow unrestrained
By Executive control However dangerous
the policy, its exercise is now placed in the
hands of one who seems disposed to WELD
it in suppressiug the wild designs of fu-
rious partisan organization. Though we
can never approve its morality or justice,
we are compelled now to sanction its expe.
diency as the only plank aAoat within our
grasp.

Who WILL Nor WoRK-It is assumed,
by great many well-meaniug people, that
the freedmen will not work except upon
compulsion. We have beard this belief
expressed by people of various characters,
but there is one class from whom it comes
with peculiar force. 1t is those people who
never work themselves, and are, therefore
greatly scandalized that their prerogative,
of doing nothing, should be thus invaded.
If they would set the freedmen in their va
