OPINION OF GEN. ROOT. f. LEE. "A dis

ut will be authoriativcIy announced to morrow

take the necessary steps 10 prepare himself to
vote, but to prepare al his friends, white and
rolored to vote right. He thinks the co oper-
alton of all the people, officials and citizens,
should be prompt, and that the chief object
should be to get as quickly and quietly rs pos
sibe back into the Union with such rights as
are left u.s. He thinks the oath proposed is
such as every good citizen not DISTINGUISHED
ought now to take, as simple mattes OF truth
and duty az a citizen OF the country.

FARMING.--We hear 4 very general com

little has been done in the way Of fencing, and
less in sowing tobacco beds. This latter fact

THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION AT length
we have the full, explicit and unqualified con :
fession of the New York Times, Radical or,
gan, that the Constitution is no longer regard
ed by its party, not even by those who take an
oath to hold it as obligatory and sacred. And
this the Times not only confesses, but proves.
In a leading article in its issue OF Thursday,
speaking Of the writ Of habcas corpus, that
journal says
"Congress has just authorized the suspcn-
sion OF that Tr't 10 ten states. There l. no III
vnsiOn--therc Is no rcbr!llon-and the public
safety does not require it; " the wit is slls-
pended all the same. Is this Il mere difference
of construction? There is no room Tor any
such difference. The language is just as clear
and explicit as it is possible for language to be.
There is not shadow Of doubt as to It's mean
Ing. There is only one 'cOn.trucilOn' 81 il
possible the suspension Of that writ il ALSO
!uteIy prohibited except in one specified cast--
that case has not occurred, and yet the witt is
suspended. What this means is Just this-he
Constitution ad hoc has been repealed, abol-
ished, aunulled, hy act Of Congress.
Precisely the same thing is true Of other pOr
tons OF the fundamental law 1t declares that
mo State shall be deprived Of its equal repre-
sentatiOn in the Senate without its own con-
sent" But ten States are thus deprived Of all
representation, in either House Of Congress
not only without their consent, but against
their earnest and indignant protest. Is this 4
difference Of 'construction?' Nobody pre-
tends anything Of the kind Congress claims
that the Constitution never contemplated such
a state Of things as now exists, and that there
fore this prohibition has no effect. But this is
sheer nonsense The Constitution provides Tor
every case that can arise AID Tor every state CT
things that can exist. It's language is general,
and liz binding force IS absolute and universal.
The plea cited means simply that Congress
mag dispense with the Constitution whenever
it icaseS, provided the people will sustain it in
So Ioing. In other words, the Constitution is
thu supreme law Of the land, except when the
inc and nrerrnlling il Then it hecnmes aimnlY
