Ono AND THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDS
MENT.-Thc action of tho Ohio Legislature
in Withdrawing its assent previously given
10 tho fourteenth amendment Of the Consti-
tuition OF the United States opens up q new
question for tho consideration and decision
Of Congress, and rs a last rctort of the iu-
dicial department of tho government Tho
resolutions of tho legislature repcaing tho
past action of that body wero presented to
Congress to-day BY Mr.. Egglcston, who, in
presenting them, said it was Oh unpleasant
duty that he had to perform.
This is the first case ofrctroactivc lcgis-
lation Of this particular character in this
country, and hence the subject was referred
to tho Judiciary Comlnittec, with instruc-
ton to inquire into the legality of the ac-
ton Of the State Legislature. Another
important vucstion involved is, whether tho
President can send back to State tho
record of its action ratifyiug constitution
al amendment upon subsequent action Of
such Legislature for tho resolutions adopt
cd request tho return of such record. We
will probably have an carly report upon the
subject from the judiciary Committee, and
whatever maybe the action Of the National
Legislature, the subject will certainly be
taken 10 the court for final adjudication.

DEATH FROM TIGnT LAcINa.-An inquest
was held yesterday at No II Jones street,
over tho remains Of Miss Emma Toms, aged
23. From tho evidence it appears that Mis-
Toms was highly respectable and well
known Sunday school teacher. On Sunday
morning she accompanied several members
Of tho Band street Methodist Episcopal
Church, to be present at tho dedication of
now Sunday school, and whilo returning TO
her homo she dropped to the sidewalk in o
state Of insensibilty. She was conveyed
to drug storo, and Polioc Surgeon KIM
bark was called in, but tho young lady OK
prod in about ten minutes. DR.. Kimbark
expressed the opinion that death resulted
from apoploKy of tho lungs, induced by
tight lacing. Miss IONS, it appears, was
in tho habit Of laoing her corsots go tight
as to prevent q proper circulation of blood
and air through tho lungs and other organs
This pornicious habit rendered her subject
to congestion of tho brain, and eventually
resulted in her sudden death. New York

John Covode, one of tho moancst men,
bers Of this infamous Congress- has writ
ten frothy letter to Governor Fonton, Of
Now York, objeoting to the recommendation
Of the latter that the Confederate dead who
foil .at Antiotem should be buried in tho
National Cemetery. John thinks they
ought to be buried somewhere, and has
graciously given permission to that effect {;
but he can't bear the idea that thoy should
ho allowed to rest in loyal ground This
is exactly what might havo been expected
from John. Tho cowardly instinct which
induced him to keep out Of their reach whilo
living, hayo made him maryelously valiant
In tho presence Of their mouldering bones
Falstaf clustered over tho harmless body Of
tho dead Percy. Covode, with tho iruo
spirit Of his great prototype, blustered over
tho PROSTATE form of the dead 'rebol.'

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS, 40 AFFECTED
by GENERAL CANBY's ORpgR.--Tho Legis-
lature of South Carolina, in 1866, passed an
Act, wherever tonancies were at will, en-.
poweriug any magistrate to eject tho tenant
upon ten days. notice, unless it could be
shown that tho tenancy was either for years
or under writton lease.
In these latter cases the old remedy was
retained. which was upon the determination
Of tho lease, or where there was an express
forfeiture for tho non payment of rent, by
The verdict of magistrates and freeholders,
upon q regular trial.
General Candy, however, by recent or
der, has extended the summary process Of
eicotment provided for in the Act of 1866,
to oil cases Of tenancy, whether verbal or
written at will, for term of years, whore
the tenant fails punotually TO pay tho rent.
The question yesterday was raised before
Judge Moses, whether General Canby's
order applied to cases arising before tho or
der.
Judge Moses, whilo holding that General
Canby's order is not retroactive, has, how
ever, dircoted the ten days notice to bo
given as of this day, and reserved his de-
cision until cause is then shown responsive
to tins notice. The cause is rs follows:
Some mouths since, Magistrate Kama.
paux was solicited by Mrs. Francis Wilson
to eject from her promises MIR Samuel Har-
ris, undCr tho Act Of 1866 for rent in arrear.
Ten days notice, under the Aot, was given
by Mr.. Kanapaux, but Mr.. Harris G.aicd
his jurisdiction III such cases, his tenancy
being for q term and not at will, as contem.
plated by the Act. Mr.. Xanapaux, dccming
the causes insufficient, ordered the sheriff
to proceed. Tho sheriff was notified that if
he acted ho would have to do SO at his pcrll.
Action in tho matter was thereby delayed,
and in the meanwhile, an order was issued
by General Canby, making tho Act of 1866
applicable to all tenancies. On this, tho
sheriff was again about to proceed, whom
suggestion in prohibition, was filed in the
Court Of Common Pleas, roclting The facts
in the case, and praying that writ Of pro.
hibition should be directed to The sheriff,
commanding him to delay all proceedings,
upon the ground that the order making the
statute generally applicable was not retro
active, Ind that ton days notice should be
given before tho proceedings of cicctment
can be had.
After argument by Mr.. Asher D. Cohen
for the relator, and Mcssrs. Magrath &
Lowndes contra, Judge Moses decided that
the order was not retroactive, and that the
ten days notice should be given rs claimed, !
SO that relator might show cause why he
should not be elected. - Charleston Courier

NOMINATION NOTES.

What In Thought Of the Presidential Ticket
The Pendleton Delegates Pleased-Ratin-
cation Meetings Last Night.
The Democratic National Convention Is at last
over and may now be numbered with the things
that were Tammany Hall, inaugurated with 30
much buster last Saturday and filed with large
crowds ever since, the scene Of the utmost excite
ment during that period and the rendezvous OF
delegates from all parts OF the Union, is now
silent and no steps break the silence OF
its pavement other than the tread OF the caretaker
or the city politician, who initiates the Indian by
calling himself Sachem, and not otherwise. The
men whose voices were heard in debate yesterday
packed up their trunks last night and quietly went
away; the wirepullers who here carried on their
schemes are gone peacefully to their homes; the
crowds who waited anxiousy In the streets are dis
persed the green leaves the triumphal arches
whitening. emblematc Of the party whose hall they
decorate and the old man with gray hairs who pre-
sided the assembly Is now the nominee for the
high position of President OF the United States.
Excitement over the nomination Of Governor Sey-
mour and Mr.. Frank Blair was as much evinced on
the ferryboats as 1t was In the gay streets Of the
metropolis. Broadway, Fifth avenue, Union square
and Tammany Hall, Fourteenth street, may have
been the scene OF commoton, but there the tax and
chat and conversation was nothing to what II was
on the ferryboats; and, though dangerous those
poor specimens Of fresh water architecture may be,
there were none so .cowardly or unpatriotic a. In
their fear to forget the momentous events Just pass
ing or concluded In New YORK. or course every
one had the Convention on their tongue-it WAS

spoken OF but is doings and the results OF ts ballot
ing. When the latter became known, md when 1t
was seen that the horses nearest the post were
scratched and Q new one entered, speculation be.
came rife and continued 20 for time until the silent
wires Of the telegraph brought down the message
that Horato Seymour, Of New York, had received
the democratic nomination for President Of the
United states, and that General Hancock, Mr.. Hen
bricks and others were non-suited. Frank Blair, Jr,
true to the traditions Of his family came in second,
and is now the nominee for the vice Presidency.
That New Workers would hesitate TO express their
feelings on such topic, whether on land or water,
would be incomprehensble; but they put no one TO
that pain of mlnd, for wherever they went they
spoke OF nothing but the nomination, and asked,
