The AMENDMENT AND South Caro-
L1SA.--The report that Col. Weather
ly, Of the South Carolina LIE ,~islature,
came to this city in behalf of that
body and obtained from the radicals
such terms as would secure the ad-
mission of the Senators and Repre-
sontatlves Of that State, providing its
Legislature would reconsider its late
action and adopt the proposed Con-
stltutlonai amendment, is unau-
thorized and untrue We have the
highest assurances to that effect
This report turns out to be about as
true as the announcement, which we

SENSATIONAL paragraph is run
ming the circle of radicalism, that
John Minor Bolts and Alexander
Rives. have prepared bill for the re-
organization of Virginia, upon the
North Carolina plan. That is, the
plan embraced in the bill of Thad.
Stevens. The rumor may be we'll
founded, as Mr.. Bolts is old and
foolish enough to perpetratc any alb
surdity.

MISSOURI. .-A.St. Louis despatch
OF the Goth ult., says: Mr.. Berry,
editor Of the Richmond Freeman,
had a rope placed round his neck and
pistols held at his head, and in this
situation was forced to sign an abject
and humiliating retraction of a
certain article in his paper. a negro
and newsboy, who carried the RepuJ-
Acan, were fired at by the militia, and
the County Clerk was seized, and, by
threats against his lite. forced to give
up the record of the late election.

If the Federal Government is su-

If the Federal Government is su-
preme, as the radicals maintain, why
submit Constitutional amendments to
Tie States? Why not declare by
resolution of Congress that such and
such amendments shall be and are
parts of the Constitution, without
going through the tedious process of
asking ratification by the States?
Why regard the requirements of the
Constitution in this respect, when it
is constantly violated and disrcgarded
IL all others?

The President has tho Jacobins on
the hip on one point ct least. Since
the recent decision Of that high tri-
bunal upon the constitutionality of
test oath and military courts, they
have shown no little anxiety to re-or-
ganizc and reform the Supreme
Court. A little reflection, however,
has convinced them Of the mortifying
truth that the appointment of the
Judges OF the Court is vested by the
Constitution in the President, and
that he would only appoint such men
in the reorganization of the Court as
correspond with him in political
opinion. The condition Of things in
the Court is bad enough as it stands
for the radicals, but rs it would be
made worse by any change likely to
be made, it Will have to be submit
ted to.

These men scan the present hour
with feverlsh glance and the queru-
lousness of dotard; but they cannot
comprehend the great morrow which
IS surely coming. They keep the
country back and injure it's dearest
interest. They would prolong they
do prolong-the arctic night of
which we are SO weary. We cannot
prosper without the sunlight Of re-
stored country. The fanatics who
would fa;i, ,ule the destinies Of the

make our hearts sick with deferred
hope. Union means peace, happiness,
prosperity and brotherhood. Those
who hinder these results are the enc
mics Of union. Let them stand aside.
The PRESIDENT AND TIE AMEND
Nj VIA special despatch to the
New York Times. Of Monday, says:
The various reports OF pretended
interviews and conversations with the
President and private individuals on
political Subjects should be received
with caution, and should generally
be discredited. There is good au-
thority FOR saying that since his au-
nuai message to Congress, submitted
on the 81 ult., Mr.. Johnson's views
Oh the political situation and the
proposed amen, ,rcnts 10 the Com
stitution have undergone no change,
and he has not used language to any
one which could be fairly Interpreted
as indicating any change OF opinion
Q. purpose on political Subjects
When Mr.. Johnson desires to submit
his sentiments to the country he i'll
not resort to fugitive, irregular and
contradictory statements Of private
individuals rs d means OF communi-
eating his views. He has not, either
III his private or Official capacity, at
tempted to interfere with the free ac-
ton Of any of the States upon the
adoption or rejection OF the amend
ncnt.
