JUDGE MEREDITH.-We have not the
pleasure Of an acquaintance with Judge
Meredith, but we know him to be gen.
tlcman of great moral and intellectual
worth. In mentioning his name, therefore
in connection with Peirpoint, we did SO
simply by way of illustrating point IN
our argument, and not for the purpose OF
depreciating that gentleman or his office.
The point we made was this that Judge
Meredith ought not to construe the Consti-
tuition too strictly in points about which
there is, or may be, great diversity OF
opinion, for the reason that if he did so
he would have to rule himself out of his
judgeship, because he was appointed by an
unconstitutional Governor, and upon the
ruins of both the Federal and State Con-
stitutions, as oyerruled by military power.
VIII our friends of the Dispatch do US the
Justice to make note of this latter por-
tion Of our article, so that neither Judge
Meredith nor his friends can misunder-
stand our allusion To him ?-Lynchb,Tg Re
publican.

A REVOLUTION INDEEp.-ForIey has the
impudence to make tho following sugges-
ton to Congress:
"What the emergency demands is, first,
the repeal Of the laws which authorize the
President to appoint heads Of departments.
This would at once get rid of the whole
Cabinet, from Mr.. Seward, the head, down
ward. The same or other laws might i'm
mediately be enacted providing for the
several heads Of departments, and limiting
their terms of Office to one year, unless
reappointed and confirmed. The Senate
might then advise the President to fill
the State Department, the Treasury, and
the rest with gentlemen distinguished for
virtue and patriotism. 1t would be his
constitutional right to withhold his assent
from the appointment Of any individual;
but he must appoint some one, and that
appointment must have the sanction Of
the Senate. The result would be a COM
promise Of personal preferences, and an
agreement upon " Cabinet (which would
be in harmony with Con ress."
OF course Butler. Forney, Sumner,
Brownlow, and such like would be the
only men distinguished for virtue and
patriotism who could be found by the
Senate. This proposition is nothing less
than revolutionary plot.

DousTruL ExPRDIHNs.-The following
paragraph contains very high compli-
ment to the religious sentiment snd prin-
ciple Of the southern people for their
hearty condemnation and rejection Of ell
doubtful schemes of raising money for pa
triotic and benevolent purposes. A repu-
tation for such consistency is jewel of
inestimable value. 1t Is to be hoped that
no pressure Of poverty or prospect of pre-
sent advantage will tempt any OF our good
people to introduce into any of their lauda-
BILE enterprises, in any form or under any
name, the Objectionable feature of chance
purchases, which contains In embryo the
principle, and will certainly foster the pas
sion that sustains the gaming table and the
faro-bapk. 1t Is something to preserve the
reputation which the editor Of the Ne,o
York Christian Inteuigencer generously
awards to the South: it Is more to pre-
serve our youth from the paths which indi-
rectly lead to ruinous vice, and to with
hold the fair and the wise, the noble and
the good, from such compliances as will en-
able the worst enemies Of public virtue to
plead their example in extenuation of i'm
morality and crime:
Lottery Gambing.-The Christian Intel
Hgencer, of New York, commends the
zeal of the southern people in repairing the
waste of war and restoring their literary
and religious institutions. "Their efforts
and sacrifices are truly praiseworthy."
Referring to the action Of the Tuscaloosa
Presbytery condemning the purchase of
lottery tickets for the ostensibe purpose
of rebuilding the State University of Ala
bama, the editor says: awe are glad to
find such fidelity to principle-we fear that
many processing Christians at the North
may take a rebuke from this Gulf State.
