A CIGAR ANECDOTE-i-, an off
Ger of our navy, well known for his gal,
liant and heroic conluct during the late
rebellion, is "A man Of exceedingly fa,tid-
ious tastes, manilesting due consideration
and delicacy in his relations with his
fellow men and women. Subject to hu-
man frailties, he is an inyeterate smoker,
and very dependent upon a particular
brand of cigars, which usually forms NJ
inconsideraJle part of his luggage when
travelling. During Il stago-coach ride in
the Southwest his stock of IIavanas had
become exceedingly limited, being reduced
to but tro, which state of exhaustion he
fully realized, especially in view of beng
unable to rcplcnsh until reaching point

hoped to obtain fresh supply.
breakfast having been accomplished
and the starting Of the coach announ ed,
he took legitimate 'light" in accord

seurs, then seated himself somewhat lux
uriously in the vehicle, half-audibly soil

one companion he reclined lazily against

Waiting until the new companion hat

THE PRESIDENT AND THE AMEND.
MENT.

The President on Friday sent TO Congress
a message reporting the official action Of the
Secretary Of State, in transmitting to the
several States, the constitutional amendment
recently proposed by that body.
ThemossageexpreSses in unequiyocal terms
the views of the Chief Executive on the eX.
pediency Of amending the Constitution at
the present time, and under the present cir
cumstances, and expressly declares, that the
action Of the Secretary of State was purely
ministerial, and in compliance with the duty
imposed by the laws, and disayows for the
President any approval or Recommendation
Of the amendment TO the States or people.
The President is evidently Of the opinion,
that il was the duty Of Congress to have
submitted the joint resolution for his APP
proval, and considers the failure 10 do so,
and the fact of its adoption when eleven
States are unconstitutionally excluded frsm
representation in Congress, as an improper
time and mode Of presenting matters OF so
grave importance as amendments TO the fun
damental law, to the States for ratification.
The message adds justly, also, that it may
b. seriously doubted whether it is in har-
mony with the sentiment Of the people, and
the spirit of our institutions, 10 devolye upon
State Legislatures elected without refereAse
10 the subjects comprised inthe amendment,
and compelled 10 act without consultation
with the people, the duty Of such ratification.
Indeed, the whole paper indicates that the
President disapproyes the entire action of
Congress in the premises, and that so far

also the other crops, and We see no
cause why persons should be growing about
hard times.
MONTGOMERY coUNTY.-The GAINESVILLE
Chronicle says: The Wheat crop in this sec
ton is being rapidly harvested, and we are
glad to learn that it is little better than we
anticipated few months ago. A great deal
of wheat was frozen out during the hard
freezes in the winter, and it is therefore very
thin on the ground, but what there is left, is
very good.
The cat crop is looking remarkably fire,
and promises a more abundant yield than
for several years past.
ROBERTSON CoUNTY.-The Robertson Beg
jSteT says: The wheat crop in this section,
which has commenced to be harvested, is
proving better yield, Of first rate quality,
than was hoped for three weeks ago. The
average being considerably, as we are in
formed, more than half of an average crop.
The Corn is coming out amazingly since
the late rains, and we predict al abundance.
A large Tobacco crop has been planted, but
it is not far enough advanced to speculate on.

the moral influence of his position and
character il concerned, it viii be felt in OPP
position to its ratification. OF course he
viii take no steps, official or otherwise.
70 bias or trammel the conduct of States
In the position taken in this message the
President is consistent. Months ago he
oogently stated the reasons why, in his judg
ment it was improper for Congress TO offer
constitutional amendments at the present
time. He thinks and said then, that the
Union should first be restored not reconstruct
Cd, and that after this was done, the whole
people could participate through their rep
resentatives, insuggesting and devising what
ever alterations in the Constitution might be
deemed essential, as well as in their ratifca-
ton; but that to anticipate restoration and
make changes in the organic law condi-
tons precedent to admitting portion of the
people to their rightful status in the Union,
was contrary to the genius and spirit of Re
publican government; and he is right.
The weight of his influence so manifestly
in opposition may result in defeating its
sanction by the States. If so he will have
performed valuable public service. If
however, the madness of the hour should
rule, and their pernicious precedent be es-
tablished, that political party can, by
numerical strength, seize the Government
and restrain portion of the people from
their rights under it till they see fit to sub
scribe to certain articles and texts of politi-
faith, a long and fearful stride will have
been taken towards that abysm of confusion
and anarchy which has received the wrecks
of every previous experiment in free gov
arnment
