KENTUCKY CONSTRUCTION.

KENJUCkY CUNSA1VV4AVN.
A friend hands US the following,
which be says he supposes to be the
construction placed upon certain por-
,ions of " the supreme law of the land,
in the dark and bloody ground
the Armed neutrality State of Ken
lucky. He says he is led to this con-
clusion from noticing the fact that that
" Staff " has adopted a statute which,
in effect, licenses white men ( to COM
nit the crime of rape upon coiored
women, ad H5itam, without fear or pos
sibility of punishment
Article ", of amendments to the
Constitution of the United States, he
thinks must be construed in that
State to read as follows (the words
in parentheses being understood, not

elects against unreasonable searches and

And again
ARTICLE VI.
In all criminal prosecutions the (whlte

FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 8. isss.

JUICE LEAUMoNT.-As an act of simple
justice and truth, we published, few days
ago, an authorized statement of the votes cast
at the recent election, respectively, for Charles
beaumont of the Fifth District Court, and
for his opponent A. Viavant, showing a re-
suit in favor of the former, although the lat
ter had been declared elected by a special
order of Gen. Buchanan. 1t will be seen, by
referring to special orders No. 146, published
elsewhere that this order is now revoked, as
having been based on an incorrect count of
votes, and Charles beaumont is announced as
duly elected judge of the above-named court.
The friends of Mr.. Viavant will, Of course, re-
greet this adverse conclusion of the contested
judgeship; but they cannot regret that, fail
ing the election of this worthy gentleman, the
Office does not fall to any one less deserving
of it than the present incumbent, who has so
satisfactorily proved his competency to dis
charge its duties.

a CONTRAST.

The smooth and quiet manner with which
ganized, as appears by telegraphic accounts,
is in striking contrast with the turbulent and
disgusting farce which has been witnessed
since Monday in Mechanics Institute In
North Carolina, as in this State, the test oath
was suspended by the military authority for
the express purpose that delegates might COM
ply, ab initio, with the requirements of the
Constitution under which they were
called to legislate. Gen. Candy took
it for granted that the North Caro-
lima legislature would use the liberty
given by the suspension of the test oath, to
inaugurate in all its integrity the North Caro-
lima Constitution. And the event did not be-
lie his reckoning. Had he been dealing with
the legislature in this State, change would
have suddenly come over the spirit of his
dream. Here, the first act of the men who as
sumo to be the State legislature was to kick
aside the State Constitution. They or
ganized outside of the Constitution, and
their organization is. simply an usur-
patton; and this they will remain until
they shall go back to the beginning and undo
what they have done while unconstitutionally
organized But it is by no means likely that
they will do this. 1t serves their purposes
better to be an unconstitutional body. They
have no relish for law of any kind, even when
specially designed TO favor their interests, if
it interferes with short cuts to the attainment
OF their ends. And they have the forehead
for any enornAty to which the disjointed
times may offer room and promise impunity.

GEN. GRANT AND JEFF. DAvIs.-some years

knowledged his fault, but said # punished by the
court in the manner he expected, be would be
forever disgraced. In consideration of his position
as an officer and the circumstances connected
with his family, he begged permissier to resign.
The secretary of war informed him that sush
thing ss a resignation after charges had been pre-
ferred was unheard Of in the annals Of military
law and contrary TO the rule and practice Of the
service. But the officer begged on, and finally the
secretary yielded and the soldier became civil

Grant and the secretary Of war. ex.President Je'-
ferson Davis. These are the facts as they were
related to us by an officer of the United States

RoussEAU.-1he amnesty Procldmdtion.-A
Washington special of the 9th ult., to the Gin
cinnsti Inquirer, says:
General Rousseau viii not return to the Pacific
coSst. IL u understood that Secretary Schofeld
will tender him new Command which will EN-.
brace one or more of the southern states, and
headquarters at New Orleans. Probably the de-
partnent OF the East will be put at Rousseau's
disposal if be prefers il.
The announcement that the president would Is
sue general amnesty proclamation on the Fourth
Of July is premature. His will is so inclined, but
there are spprebensons il would lead possibly to
complication, which would be most undesirable
at this Juncture, and even those who. a month
seo, urged tDe issuance OF the proclamation, now
oppose il. The truth is, the radicals want only
lretext to prefer additional impeachment charges
and this would aford il. Under these circum-
stances il is unlikely such proclamation will be
issued.

Many plans are now being devised for the
pleasurable spending of the Fourth. To those
thus engaged in planning enjoyment. we would
suggest that they forget not. in their cogtations,
the very many delights of short trip up the
Jackson Railroad. There are many points along
the line Of this rosd whose attractions would
amply repay a short visit. Besides, to accommo-
date those persons disposed to patronize them,
the company have determined to issue excursion
tickets, (that is, hslfprice ones,) good from the
Sd to the 9Th inclusive. So. pleasure-seekers,
don't forget the reduction of fare on the Jackson
Railroad when you make your plans for passing

SMITH AND PLUMLY.-Dr. X. X. smith, deegae
to The Texas convention, publishes in the AUSTIN
Republican of the 10Th q communication in reply
to an attack upon him by lone b. RIsh Plumly,
EDITOR of the Galveston Republican" The doc
tor says:
"This same Plumly arrived at the city of Calves
ton about two wears sgo, and sought me out 10
render him assistance in getting up street rail-
road enterprise. He desired me TO keep his per
sonal history a secret. He stated that he had
not a dollar in the world, but had TO borrow
money to get from New Orleans 10 galveston,
and that be was an xiOus to get into some honest,
legitimate business that would bsnent MIN and
the people Of Galveston"
The doctor asserts that he never indorsed
PIumIv "for morality, honesty or integrity, but
onIv as an energetic business man." and con-
"For the vouchers for his truth and honesty, |
am hound bv my promise to keep his personal
historv secret but refer all interested to every
man Who knows him in Philadelphis, from Con
orrssmap Kelley down; and in New Orleans
from Ex-Governor Flanders to every other man
who ever had any business or personal relations
with him: and also TO Mr. Isaac Moses, and every
cher honorable man in Galveston. For his sharp
