From the Washington correspon,

From the Washington correspond
ence Of the New York World, of
Sunday, we extract the following,
relative to South Carolina:
s"The President will probably SUBJ
NIT to Congress tomorrow or Tues
day the certified copy Of the South
Carolina Constitution, it being the
first one which he has received from
the Southern States. A good deal of
boasting has been INDUCED in that
South Carolina will be at once admit
ted to representation on the accept
ance by Congress of the Constitution
in question. This leppears to be
quite q mistake. Th9 fifth section Of
the Act of March 2. 1857, provides
that the Legislature of the State
must first ratify what is known as the
fourteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, and
when this article is made a part OF
that Constitution by the ratification
of three-fourths of all of the States,
and not until then. South Carolina
and others Of the Southern States
may be admitted to representation in
Congress, on their Senators and
members taking the test oath. This,
it will be seen, will yet delay Con-
gressional representation of the negro
States for some months ,-ir
