The Constitutional Amendment-..Last
Chance for the South.

While the republican leaders and takers
are going round the country, like Cornwall
| miners, with tallow candles in their caps, en-
deavoring to shed light upon the crisis
| through which the country is passing we
have entirely eclipsed them by the calcium
| illumination we have introduced in the shape
| of the constitutional amendment. 1t is now
very clear that it has been the policy of
Thad Stevens and his Jacobin followers to
keep this important amendment out of sight
as much as possible. 1t has been rarely dis
| cussed in any of their councils, or at any
rate at those which have reached the ear and
eye of the public. They do not wish to have
it openly debated, nor do they desire that the
minds of the people shall become familiar
with its business and its ameliorating ten
denotes. Above all, they do not want the
South to accept it; for they know if it does
their power will be lost and their rod of ter
Tor broken. Stevens is not satisfied with the
amendment; neither is Wade, Sumner, Banks,
Butler nor Boutwell,. Neither is Kelley, of
Pennsylvania, nor Greeley, of the Tribune,
nor any others of the bitter radical stamp.
What these men want is for the South to re-
iect or to spurn the amendment, and thus
compel the question of restoration to go over
to the next Congress, which, they feel conf
dent, and not without reason, will be more
inimical to the South than the present one.
What, then, is the plain policy of the
itancy or delay, the proposed amendment
They certainly cannot expect to do any bet
ter with the present Congress and they must
not hope or expect for greater clemency from
the next By all the signs of the times the
Fortieth Congress will be composed in part
of a fierce and revolutionary body of men.
In all the Eastern States, where the radicals
have maiorities, the question upon nomina-
tions for Congress is not who is the most
moderate or conservative, but who is the
most radical. The latter is invariably the
nominee. 1t is for this reason that such men
as Banks, Butler and Boutwell-all formerly
Massachusetts, democrats-are SO extreme
and violent in their anti-Southern views. In
this they but echo the sentiments of the people
they represent, and not to obey that senti-
ment they know is to allow themselves to be
poll ically shelved for the remainder of their
lives They are bent upon success, and the
motto of one of these men is, Success is
duty"
Now, then, is the critical moment for the
South. The proposed constitutional amend
ment should be promptly accepted by them.
The present Congress cannot refuse to &C
knowledge the fact and to restore them to
fraternal relationship in the Union. 1t is in
a measure pledged to do this, and it has al
ready partially fulfilled its pledge by admit
ting Tennessee. From the next Congress the
South will have much to apprehend There
is great danger that the aims of the radicals
to tlisfranchise the whites, to confscate and
,apportion their property and TO give univer-
sal and unrestricted suffrage to the blacks,
will then be accomplished. The Legislature

In consequence of the recent great improve

reduced our prices to as low point as they can

from the expectation that it will be cheaper at
some future time. The test of ten years and the

More than 200 900 Watches

among time keepers. Commencing with the de-
termination to make only thoroughly excellent
watches, our business has steadily increased as
the public became acquainted with their value,
until for months together, we have been unable
to supply the demand. We have repeatedly en-
larged our factory buildings until they now cover
over three acres of ground and give accommoda-
ton to more than eight hundred workmen.

Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
And naught in the waters below it;
AS a pledge of nation that's dead and gone,
Keep it. dear friend, and show it.
Show it to those who will lend an ear
To the tale that this paper can tell !;
OF liberty born, of the patriots dream,
OF a rln-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much stranger to borrow,
We issued to-day our promise to pay,
Hoping to redeem on the morrow.
But days flew by, weeks became years,
Our Golfers were empty still;
Coin was so rare, the treasury'd quake
If dollar should drop in the till.
We knew it had scarcely value in gold,
Yet as gold the soldiers received it;
It looked in our eyes promise to pay,
And each patriot soldier believed 1t.
But the faith that was in us was strong
indeed,
And our poverty well We discerned;
And these little checks represented the
pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
But our boys thought little of price or pay,
Or of bills that were over due:
We knew if it bought us our bread to-day,
Twas the best our poor country could do.
Keep tit tells all our history over,
From the birth of the dream to its
last;
Modest and born of the angel hope,
Like our hope of success, 1T passed.

mail brings fall particulars of the events
which preceded the Reform riots in Lon
don, reported by the Atlantic cable on
Monday. On the 18th of July Sir Rich
ard Mayne, Commissioner of Police in
London, issued a printed notice point

strations in Hyde Park, stating that
such meetings were inconsistent with
the purposes for which The park is
thrown open and used by the public.
Sir Richard, after elluding to the pro-
posed Reform gathering on the 23d, init

larg,e numbers would he allowed 10 take
place in the park, and that all necessary
measures would be adopted to prevent
any such meeting and etiectnally 10 pre-

dressed letter to Mr. Edward Beales,
chairman of the Reform League, asking
him TO use his influence in preventing
the assemblage. Mr. Beales replied by
letter that he could not reeogni1e
Mayne's right or power to so set styling
any interference as dangerous and un-
constitutional, and calculated to cause
the real breach of the peace. The Sec
retsry of the League also wrote through
the papers that no alteration of pro-
gramme would take place. The subject
came up in Parliament on the 18th,
when Mr.. WAlpole indorsed Mr.. Maynes
proceedings and assumed the responsi-
bility. In al ,wer to Mr. Mill, he admit

the fact that Hyde Park was royal
