A Magnificent Testimonial.

It will be remembered that whom our distinguished fellow -citizen, Admiral Semmes, arrived in England, immedi- ately after his brilliant combat with tho Kearsage, a number of officers of the British army and navy, and several of the nobility who were friendly to the Confederate cause, determined to pro- cure by subscriptions, magnificent sword for the admiral, as a testimonial of their appreciation of his gallantly and heroic conduct as naval comman- der The subscriptions were limited to a guinea each, and in a day or two the entire amout, two thousand guineas, was subscribed. 4 Aa PET Hi9af
 The order for the asword was imme- diately given and the work was long ago completed, but the beautiful and costly testimonial is still ill England. A citizen of Mobile, who has recently returned from Europe, brought over with him a most skillfully executed photograph of both sword and scab- bard, from which we have obtained an idea of the exquisite W workmanship dis played in their make. The blade bears a suitable inscription and is ornament ed in the highest style of the sword makers art. The scabbard, which is of gold, as is also the hilt, or at least the guard, is ornamented, not profusely, but most tastefully, with deyicesi eln- blematic of the naval profession and Southern agriculture. The testimonial is one of which a monarch might be proud, and is just and well merited tribute to the personal and professional W orth of the most distinguished of Confederate ofiicers.--Mobile Register.

MONTGOMERY.

,, MONTGOMERY. Nov. l2.
 The Legislature met to-day in ,regu- lar session. A quorum was present in both Houses. Hon. w. II, Sessions, President of the Senate, and Colonel $. B. Cooper, Speaker. of the House. Governor Patton's message was read. It treats elaborately of State affairs. He represents the finances of the State to be in a highly favorable condition. The Constitutional Amendment is discuss ed at some length. The Governor op- poses it in decided but temperate lan- guage in his review. The first section would give to Federal Courts original and complete jurisdiction over every case arising under State laws, The second section would change represen- tative apportionments so as to be gov erned by the number of inhabitants ill the North and actual votes in the South. The third section destroys all the Southern State Governments, by sweeping away their officers, and leav- ing no authority to re-establish goyer- mental order. He argues that the Amendment would operate as an EEK PosrE FAoTo law, contrary to republi- can liberty. ..,.... ...l..,.r.....
 The message is lengthy, and proposes many subjects for legislation.
 This session promises to be long and interesting. An election for United States Senator will take place on Tues day, the 20th.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.
 Noone here outside of official circles, seems to know the character of the in- structions of Lieutenant General Sher- man, who left New York on Saturday with Minister Campbell, for Vera Cruz. It may not transpire until after the meeting of Congress. By that time sherman may be able to report to our Government, the measure of success he has met with, so that the Executive may be able to inform Congress and the country at once, Of the special ob- feet and the definite result of this re- markable mission.
 The examination of applicants for consular places proves not to be mere form, but is rigid and thorough. Out of the numerous candidates who have presented themselves thus far, only two have been passed.

AN ESTABLISHED RELIGION.

When the Irresistible Radicals shall have consummatcd all their political monstrositiiscs. may we not expect them to turn their attention to religion? We don't mean religion oi tho heart. but religion on the brain---tiist scrrt of re- ligion which compels the neighbor an one hill to think as the neighbor on an
 other hill may ,dictate-that sort of re- ligion which shall discover disloyalty in one form of prayer, and heresy, he'll deserving, in another form of worship. The spirit that dictated the law which doolns ministers of the gospel to fine and imprisonment for preaching with out having taken an oath to the false God of Radicalism, will pause at no outrage which may be deemed neces- to the thorough subiugation of the human mind. We may look for an established religion. We had some thing like it during the war, and tie fire of the war is not allowed to abate, but is kept burning. We have recent ly seen the faggots hurled upon it, and the, fire mount mountaill high, scoreh- ing with it's tongues of flame whatever dared oppose it. Look at, New Eng land. Is not every pulpit a misnomer, every church sort of political club room, and every preacher party spouter? Butler says if BAAL be Cop, serve him. And isnot BAAL rising to the dignity of a God ?-[ Memphis Led

The elections are over, and as was expected from the first indications, Radicalism has triImphed. The ex- citement consequent upon these elec- lions having subsided, the minds of the people are left free to act--act for the
 building up of their own State interest.
 We of Arkansas have else to do than idly regret the results of the past. We have-if we would add to our prosper ity-schools to build, railroads to con- struct, and such internal improvements 10 be made as will make us prosperous out of the Union, and in ourselves. Let us, therefore, turn our attention to '6hose things which so nearly concern us, and see if we cannot find better Employment for the mind than the study of the yexed political condition
 of the country.

BegThey have a queer way of ad- ministering justice in Tennessee. For instance, the Knoxville Commercial of Sunday informs us that, during the week two negroes were put on trial for horse stealing. They were found gull ty, and were sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. Their counsel appli- edfor newtrial. Judge Hall granted it. Attorney General Thornburg re- marked that he would not take the trouble to again go over the evidence, and at once discharged the negroes.

Unpopularity of Mrs Stanton.

The following are the returns from the Sth congressional districts:
 Brooks, Democrat ........... 14, 61 Cannon, Republican .8,o87 Mrs, Stanton, .Worhan's Rights IT,. 8
 If the woman's rights women desire success they mustrun their best looking and smartest young ternagants. An elderly dame like Mrs. Stanton, with a large family and weak minded hus- band tied to the end of her apron strings, has none of the elements of popularity. Still Mrs. $. does very we'll to start with. She has made a beginning. If our amiable sister citi- zen, Susan B. Antony, and the gentle Anna Dickinson, had taken the stump in their respective districts they would each have polled much larger vote than Mrs. Stanton did. But eight votes are something. Let woman not be disheartened. They have just elected two triggers" to the legislature in Massachusetts, and surely sex ought to be no impeachment to political preter- ment where race and color stand for nothing.-[ Koch ester (N.

When Radioalism Will be Destroyed.

It is not supposed that any Conserv- Iative member elect of the next Con gress will hold his place unless his ma |jority is n thousand or more The
 beaten Radical has only to appeal to Stevens, whose decree, issued Through a committee on elections, reverses that
 of the people. Never was a Congress deemed so-eorrupt, when itis true that no one doubts the success of any Radi- cal who may contest the seat of a Con-
 servative. The question of right is not, i'll the popular mind, supposed to arise. Itis simply question O fparti- sanship. And yet this Congress would have its powers extended to all mat ters. It would have the Constitution so amended that States are virtually no more. It would obliterate State lines and make an oligarchy supreme. One king is preferable-an imperialism, to an oligarchy, a despot to the unre- stricted reign of the mob. If the sys- ttemlof Union must be overthrown, let us have an Emperor-Grant, Sherman, even Beast Butler, rather than a mob of politicians who would outvie the inn mortal Thirty Tyrants in outrages up- on State and personal rights. aj
 Each act of wrong done, in obedience to dictates, of partisanship unsettles popular faith in the wisdom and jus tice of Congress Democracy may Radicalism for time by its unavailing efforts to re-establish it's former monopoly of public plunder, but party, like an individual, is made dizzy by supremacy. Radicalism in
 Congress will commit so many follies and wrongs, and resort to such un- heard of means to accomplish it's ends, that like Democracy, having lost pub lie confidence, it too will beengulphed, and new class of men may direct the destinies of the Union. There is in a gove ,nment of the people a principle by which evils cure themselves and the very omnipotenca and despotic power of party works it's disintegration ana overthrow.-[ Memphis Bulletin.
