The Constitutional Amendment.

The secession organs throughout the South
keep up the hue and cry that the amendment
degrades those who are called upon to ratify
it. They assume. not without color of rea-
son, we admit, that the handful of men
whom the amendment excludes from office
constitute the South, and in the name of this
small class they protest they will never con-
sent to this dishonor.
Now, if this prescribed class be half as
patriotic as its noisy champions aver it to
be. its members will stand aside-stay away
from the polls-and allow the great majority
Of the people who are not prescribed to vote
upon the question. They will, in this way,
avoid the imputation of voting to degrade
themselves. If Congress had embodied in
the amendment clause excluding the same
class from the polls, as well as from the right
to hold Office they could not have raised the
objection that they are called upon to vote
their own degradation So that, after all, it
is the lenity of Congress towards this class
| which constitutes the graoamaen of their op-
position to the proposed amendment. Con-
.gress excludes them from the privilege of
holding Office as it had a right to do under
the circumstances, but it has not excluded
them from the polls as it might also have
done, and is, therefore, guilty ofintentional
insult to them These fastidious gentlemen
can easily avoid the insult by refusing to go
to the polls, and the mass of the people can
then settle the question, by consenting to
return to the Union on the terms proposed.
As we have heretofore said the President
is more severe on those of this class whom
he refuses to pardon, than Congress. He not
only excludes them from office, but forbids
them to vote, or even to make or receive IT,
tie to property.

NeW-Berne.

We saw recently Il communication in the
Journal Of Commerce, respecting the correct
printing of the Athens" of the State We
beg leave to add a few remarks upon this
subject. The town was laid out and named
by DeGraffenried's colonists from Switzer-
land in the year ITO, and was named
after old Berae, meaning bear, Switz-
erland, and as was too frequently adopted in
thoseti times the adjective, new, was prefxed,
making New-Berne, "nep bear," or cub,
and the Specification is evidently cub-town !;
and from the number of bears in the POGO
sons in Craven County, was not inappropri-
ately designated. And the name may be
written one of two ways correctly, as one
word Ne,oberne, or with hyphen New-B -Berne
No other way it appears can be right. Burn
is gaelic for brook, berne with an e. meaning
as aforesaid. shear" After so much of phil
orogical lore upon this thread hear dis
cussion we hope that ever hereafter this
beautiful and famous old City will be
spelt and printed with hyphen, as COM
pound word, but one only in parsing, as the
designation of but one place, to wit: NEW
BERNE, the Athens of the old North State.
And as she has been heretofore, may she be
in the future the mother of more great men
than any other place in all Southland.

The Mississippi commissioners called upon
the President on the 14th, having previously
sent to him the resolution passed by the Leg
islature of their State in relation to Mr.. Da-
Wis. They also presented an accompanying
letter from Gov. Humphrey, based on the
idea that there will be no trial, but he says
while they do not seek to screen him from
this, they believe that his Imprisonment is
not necessary to secure his presence when de-
sired for the trial, and can only be attended
with fatal results to his health, and that the
ends ofiustice will be reached by admitting
him to bail or parole. The President, it is
said, gave them a courteous reception, and
promised to take the subject into considera
tion. "Only this, and nothing more" The
President could not have done less than he
did.

Alabama.

The Governor of Alabama, in his recent
message, after d full review of the whole sub
ject, says of the proposed constitutional a.
mendment:
II am decidedly of the opinion that this
amendment should not he ratified. The first
section emboiies principle dangerous to the
liberties of the people of the whole country,
and is as applicable to New York and Mas
sachusetts as Alabama The third section
would bring no possible good to the repre-
seilted States, while it would reduce those
unrepresented to utter anarchy and ruin
We are sincerely desirous of complete restor-
alton to the Union. We want conciliation,
harmony and national tranquility. We feel
we have given every evidence of honest pur-
pose to conform in good faith to the condi-
ton of things surrounding US.
Alabama is as true to-day to the constitu-
ton and laws of the general government as
any State of the Union. Under the internal
revenue law tax ON cotton the people of this
State are now paying a revenue to the gov
ernment of nearly $10000000 a year In the
enactment of these laws we had no voice.
The amendment was proposed when nearly
one-third of the States were unrepresented,
and all its features are aimed at the States
thus excluded The ratification of such an
amendment, under such circumstances, can
not accomplish any good to the country, and
might bring irretrievable disaster"

More Treason

A correspondent of the Sentinel the Or
gan of Gov. Worth, says:
"The Union for which our Yankee friends
fought is hopelessly broken. The govern
ment is gone, tor which they struggled.
The Federal Flag proclaims lie (so-call-
ed) Why fiaunt in gaping faces these thir-
ty six Stltes2 Why spread the falsehood
across the streets Is it not notorious that
ten of those stars have no business therel
If the stars shave no business there then
we are simply conquered TerritorNand
Congress has a right to govern us accor-
dinghy.
The flag proclaims no lie. 1t protects,
day and night, the infamous traitor who thus
insults it. It waves here-it waves in all
lands and on every sea, a true flag. 1t car
ries no lie on its glorious folds.
The traitor who wrote this communication
for the Sentinel and the traiters who pub
lished it, will find to their cost that the gov
ernment is not gone-that the Union is not
'"hopelessly bYoken." With them, the wish
is only father TO the thought. Nothing
would please them better than to see the
Union hopelessly broken, and the flag of the
stars and stripes cast to the earth as an ac-
cursed thing.
But the Union stands. 1t will continue to
stand, the last hope of freedom on earth.-
1t will yet suecor and protect its own, and

at home, with whip of scorpions. The
poor, contemplate traitor who wrote this
communication was among the most abject
in 1865. when the federal forces reached this
City. He was ready to "eat dirt" for him
self and all his neighbors. Now, he is SO
bold in his treason that he proclaims the
Union hopelessly gone, and the flag of the
country a ''Jaaunt;ag lie."

The eelecti,n of a o. s Senator for the short

Tbeelection of o. S.SenatOr for the short
term (now filled by John Poop will devolve
on this Legislature, and no doubt many are
setting their caps" for the place. Unless e
man is elected who can take the test oath the
election will be a useless one, for there is no
prospect of any one being admitted in Con-
gress who cannot take that oath. We con-
slider the oath an unfair requirement, but we
Can see no way to avoid its being demanded
of our members. President johnson himself
does not insist on or advocate the admission
of members who cannot take the oath.-
There is no way to get clear of it until Con-
gress repeals it; and all know that there is
at present but little prospect of that's being
DONE Charlotte Democrat
If the public men of the State who have
control of our affairs would only do as they
should, the test-oath would soon be out of
the way. 1t is regarded only as means to
an end. If this State, for example, would
submit Internationally to the national au-
thority-would adopt the Howard amend
ment, members of Congress of the same po-
litical character with Mr.. Pool would no
doubt be admitted to seats without being
required to take this oath. The oath is de-
signed to exclude disloyal, not loyal men,
We repeat, let the Stare show that she is
cheerfully disposed to send only loyal men
to Congress, and this oath would speedily
fall to the ground

stamped Envelopes.

Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT, October, 1866.
Letter-size envelopes stamped three cents,
made of a cheaper quality of paper than
those heretofore issued, are furnished ny the
Department at $3.50 per thousand. (being
$3.50 exclusive OF postage) and in propor-
tion for less quantities.
The better quality at $S480 per thousand
is not, however, superseded, hut will he sup
piled as heretofore, and, if desired, will be
ruled for the address, without additional
charge. This is the only kind of envelopes
furnished with ruled lines .'-s{
In using ruled envelopes the superscription
should be written before placing the letterin
the envelope, otherwise the lines will be con-
cealed.
Upon all letter and official size envelopes
there will be printed across the end, without
additional charge, the names, business, and
post Office address of parties, and a request to
return if uncleaned within given time-the
whole not to exceed four lines-when order
ed in quantities of five hundred and upwards
of any specific denomination
Among the advantages secured to the pub
lie by the use of stamped envelopes are 81
First. Cheapness.
Second. Security to correspondence in this
that the stamp cannot be removed nor lost.
Third. Where request is endorsed for the
return of the letter, it will not be sent to the
Dead Letter Office in the event of its non-de-
livery. but will be returned direct to the wri-
ter free of postage.
The postage IN stamped envelopes, spoiled
in directing, will be refuned in stamps, as
provided in section 1S9, Postal Regulations
By order of the Postmaster General.

Grapes.


To persons interested in the culture of the
Vine, we will state upon the authority
of Grant, Taylcr and Redmond, that the
four best grapes NV in cultivation in the
United States are. the Israella (he earliest)
the Delaware (white) the Iona (Which is sold
in NewYor City, at $1,OO per pound,) and
the latest and best keeping grape of all, a
native of North Carolina, the Pamlico, be-
longing to the Skoupernong family. 1t is
black, and has as many as thirty, but gener-
ally about one dozen berries in cluster, and
will keep readily until Christmas.
Of the Skoupernong family wits rotundi-
folia) there are now four varieties in cultiva-
tion, to wit: Floaoers. b. Waccamaao, b. Pam
lico,6 and the Skoupernong W. From the
last several seedlings have been produced,
but none of them of superior qualities to the
original. and are not worthy of cultivation
for the present.
