THE n. Y. Times seeks to enforce upon
the South the adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment, by reminding us that it is not
the porst thing that the dominant party
have it in their power to innict, if they 50
resolve. It says:
Instead Of being the worst the STEVENS
party could do or think Of, we have only to
recall the schemes Of coniiscation, banish-
ment, acknowledgements and execution that
were proposed, 20 show the folly OF tins
idea"
Accept the argument Of the Times, and
what is it but the robbers plea Of, "Hour
money or your life" What protection will
there be hereafter under government that
subjects its citizens to such tests, and con-
trolls them in the discharge of their public
duties by such threats
II the peopleof the North desire to rule
BY arbitrary power-ii they are determined
t. disregard the Constitution, and adopt
form of government more in unison with
their peculiar tenets, and better adapted to
the perpetualion Of their sectional domino
tion-why not dosobya bold and open policy.
You have it all your own way. The South
is in no condition TO offer you resistance.
We propose meme. If we are not to have
free exercise of opinion in our action upon
any question of public policy, why stooP to
the mockery Of pretending TO submit It to
our determination? Why not promulge
your decree at once and command our ODE
dience as conquered subjects, and wait until
we have violated your general orders, or
| shown some resistance 10 your declared au-
thority, before threatening an impoverished
and disarned people with any farther in
dignities? This would more comport with
the honor Of civilized people and the dig
nifty of powerful government. True, it
would be great outrage upon liberty, and
a crime against humanity, but it would be
less cruel to the helpless, and would not be
SO dark by several shades in that impartial
history which must yet be written, and from
which there is no escape.
The people ofthe South are comparatively
powerless, but not inundated. From the
noblest motives that ever impelled the sac
rifces of brave peOple-to say nothing Of
the wisdom of their action-they cast the
wager of battle and lost all, save honor
The successful party can impose additional
burdens upon them. They may prove as
cruel taskmasters as the Egyptian King in
requiring the children of Israel to make
brick without straw. But if true to our
selves, our honor is within our own keep
ing. Necessity may require us to submit to
the yoke, but no power can force us to put
it on our own necks, in order that our enemies
may have an implied admission of the
justice of their policy. We will yield
obedience to authority, but we will not
acknowledge the justice of its tyranny and
abuse.

missioner has instructed the Register and
Receiver. at Junction City, Kansas, to re-
store some ], 100000 acres Of land TO settle
ment and entry under the presumption and
homestead laws, and the Register and Be
ceiver at Brownsville, Nebraska, to restore
about 100000. The restoration does not
make the lands subject to sale at private
entry, but only renders them accessible to
actual settlers.
During the past year the postal service in
the eleven seeded States has paid for itself

mainly due to the economical management
of the present Postofice Department.

CHANGE OF TACTICs.-General FORREST
recently addressed the citizens of Little
Rock on the subject of the railroad in course
of construction from that city to Memphis.
He is reported to have humorously said that
he had changed his policy in regard to rail-
roads; that he had devoted much attention
in the past to tearing them up, bat that he
wished to devote all his energies hereafter
to laying them down. Here is an argument
for practical reconstruction. We trust it will
be favorably received by such papers at the
North as profess to believe that the "rebels"
of the South are unwilling to engage in the
work of reconstruction.

New YORK, Nov. 22.-Thc disease which
broke out on the ship Mercury, on her pas
sage TO this port, already noticed, is now
pronounced cholera. 1t appears that the
epidemic broke out among the passengers
shortly after the vessel Left Havre, and con-
tinued its rayages up to the moment when
she arrived at quarantine. The disease is
said to be a severe type, and all the symp-
toms show that it is Asiatic cholera. A
large number of passengers are still suffering
from the disease, their wants and necessities,
however, are being promptly attended to by
the officers on board and the quarantine
officials

While TIC star gazers here were disap-
pointed in their expectations, il appears that
the anticipated shower Of meteors did actu-
ally occur, although science was at fault as
to the locality from which it would be visi-
bic. 1t was seen in England and the sight
from the Greenwich Observatory, as is des-
oribed 10 kilograms received by the Atlantic
cable, was one Of unequalled grandeur and
interest. Il appears that the magnificent
spectacle commenced there at nine o'clock
Of the night Of the 18th, and continued un-
I'll six o'clock on the morning Of the l4th,
the shower Of meteors reaching its maxi
mum between one and two o'clock, when
five thousand stars shot from their places
and trailed their Ere along the heavens M.

and wonderful display, twelve thousand Of
such celestial rockets were visible 10 the

trail Railroad.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 22.-The Buffalo
Board of Trade, to-day, passed a resolution
to address letters to the various Canal Com
missioners, and to the Auditor of State,
urging upon them the great necessity for an
increase of the force employed at each and
all locks on the Erie Canal, so as to give
the fullest facilities for Fastening property
to tide-water. The resolution was passed
in consequence of a large amount of pro-
duce aflOat and delayed, by break at Pal
myra.
The Commercial Advertiser, Of this city,
commenting editorially on the Herald's spe-
cial, from Troy, about the New York Cen
trail road says: "We know that in the event
of Mr. Fargo's election, no change whatever
would occur in the present arrangements
with the express companies on the Central
road, except such as might be for the benefit
of the stockholders OF the road, and in such
8 case that would not apply to one express
company equally with another, for Mr. Far
60 would not show any partiality for either.
The competition between the express COM
panies would not be ihterfered with. The
facilities extended to the American would
be extended likewise to the Merchants
Union, the interest of the stockholders, and
not to the interest Of any express company.
1t would be the first consideration with the
President of the Central railroad, if Mr..
Fargo filled that position.

THE reporter of the Washington specials
to the Cincinnati Gazette, speculates as fol-
lows:
'If what the President repeats daily, to
such politicians as are around him, has any
significance, he is determined stubbOrnly to
maintain his policy. He also stoutly insists
that the will of the people regarding that
policy was not expressed in the late cleo
tons, and that before he will abandon his
position, the issue must be made before the
people upon his policy directly. Many
begin to think that the late givings out re-
garding change on his part, were merely
to cause a reaction in his favor throughout
the North, 10 be succeeded by demonstra-
ton in Mexico, which would still further
rally the people to his support.
