INTERESTING CoRREsPONDENCE-A After
the revolution of 1S4S, the provisional govern
ment published large quarto volume, with
M. Taschereau as editor, entitled "Revue Re-
prospective on Archives Secretes du Dernier
Government" In this was included all the
most confidential correspondence OF the ex-
king, his family, ministers, and ambassadors,
that the government could find in the royal
palaces. M. Guizot in his "Memoires," gives
many particulars of the domestic life and per-
sonal character of Louis Philippe. Since the
death of the ex-Queen Marie-Amelie, there
have been published portions of series oflet-
ters from the king to his sister, Madame Ade-
laide, which escaped the grasp of Mr.. Tas-
chereauin in 1S4S. They extend from 1889 to
1S45, and hmbrace all sorts of topics, from his
first impressions of Lord Palmerston's Eastern
policy to the minutest particulars oil his de-
mestic life. They are written without any con-
straint to his sister, who exerted such power
fui influence on him, and ara mere olf.hand
and familiar talk. We see here all the anxiety
OF this cltizen-king. this 'commis-voyageur dc
la maison Orleans" as Heine called him. for
the welfare and safety OF his children and
grandchildren; his troubles during the illness
OF the Comte de Paris, who would be very hun
cry and cry for "souffle . his annoyances caus-
ed by the gardeners at st. Cloud and the archi-
tects at Fontainebleau. He tells of his ar
rangements for review, In which he speaks
oil nus desire of pleasing zee bon Cass, as he
Styles the American minister; and OF the suit
ors who come for the hand OF the Princess
Clementine. whom he nicknames Glenn. We
hope the whole of the letters will be published,
az thev are valuable Illustrations OF the pc
culiarifies and foibles of king whose motto
was .Ncver mind."-1he Nation.

SECESSION JUDIcIALLY DEFENDED.
rDispatch to the Boston Advert;ser. !

(Dispatch to the Boston Advertiser.l .
z A case of considerable interest has recently
occurred in Mississippi, in which an opinion
was given as TO the nature, on the part of the
South, of the recent controversy, viz: wheth-
er it was rebellion or civil war. 1t came
up on suit to enforce the delivery Of a certain
amount of cotton, for which payment was
made in advance some time before the close of
war. The payment having been made in con-
federate treasury notes, the defendant refused
to make the delivery, and set up, among other
things, that the act of secession by the State
of Mississippi and confederation with other
States being in violation of the Constitution Of
the United States, no government was created
by said confederacy which could perform any
binding act. The case was tried before .Judgc
George r. Clayton, of the Sixth Judicial Dis
trtct, who ordered the delivery of the cotton,
orits equivalent value. The manner in which
the State rights doctrine still prevails is shown
by the following extract from his decision =
The citizens of this country bye InoeT
TWO distinct governments, with clearly denhed
and owe allegiance to each and ooedlence 10
the laws of each. We consider tnat the actor
secession was not in violation OF tne consul
tr1tion of tho Tinted States. We consider
that the citizen of the State, owing as he does
nartiaI allegiancc to both governments, cannot
ron,,n;t tbe crime of treason when his action
;s nl,,,troIled by State authority. The citizens
- nso State, owing permanent allegiance to the
S.ote government, cannot be amenable to the
General government for rendering obedience
fhe authority of his State government, not
wjtEstanding by so doing he will violate his
Federal allegiance. The late disastrous war
then could not have been asimple rebellion.-
What was its character? 1t was war be-
tween distinct sovereignties to settle ques-
tion of governmental power" .s,'. ..

The Constitutional Amendment.

10 the Editor or the Press: .
As the Senate has struck out the third sec
ton of the proposed Constitutional amend
ment, which the committee of fifteen original
ly reported, wish to withdraw the article
which wrote on the 25th instant, criticisinr
the same. The substitute the committee now
recommends printed in your paper this morn
ing is great improvement upon the original
report. In ny judgment Il Is not all that is
necessary for the protection of the Union men
IN the South, nor doesit furnish national seca-
rity for the future beyond doubt. Most as
suredly it turns the cold shoulder to the freed
men, who have fought to preserve the nations
life. But am fully satisfied thar nothing bet
ter can pass the present Senate by two
thirds vote, and that any further criticism on
my part will do no good. So / make my bow.

dress, and addresses were also made by Hon.

which we give the last, as follows: qT
Resolued, That the interests and instincts of
the people demand the speedy adjustment of
existing difficulties upon the basis of justice:
and we call upon Congress, by the memory of
the fathers, by the traditions of our history, by
the agonies of bloody war, and by the long
ings of thirty millions of people for rest to pro-
vide for the earliest possible representation of
all the States in Congress, upon basis Of equal
political rights to all loyal citizens, and only to
