Upsetting the Work Of the Rump
Congress.

The most important and significant
political event for the moment, is un-
doubtedly the probable withdrawal Of
New Jerseys ratification of she SO call
ed 14th constitutional amendment. Ye-
sterday the Senate voted to withdraw
it. TO day, in all probability, the House
will thus vote. This proceeding has
not been taken without the maturest
deliberation, and consultation with
some of the best constitutional lawyers
in the country, including Charles o.
Conor; George Ticknor Curtis and Re,
verdy johnson. Mr.. O'Conor says:
THE amendment is, in itself, most
pernicious; it violates great unwritt-
en- fundamental idea on which the Con-
stitution is based. It has not inaptly
been termed an unconstitutional alter
alton 1t violates first principles, aud
is intended to perpetuate discord. Le-
gitimate force, it has none, aud it new
er can have any consistently with the
maintenance of our institutions: conse-
quently, whatever may lawfully be done
to deprive it of colorable authority,
ought to be done"
Reverdy Johnson:
off the constitutional amendment to
which you refer has not been already
passed by the requisite number of States
to make it part Of the Constitution, l
think that any State which has assent
cd to it can withdraw that assent ; and
although it rs the opinion Of some per-
sons that it has received the sanction
required by the Constitution, that is
not my opinion"
George Ticknor Curtis:
"There are thirty-seven States in
this Union. That they are all in the
Union in the sense Of being compe-
tent to act on amendments of the
federal Constitution, is indisputable,
for we not only do not admit that any
of them ever did or ever could with
draw from the Union, but it is also
true that in the year 1866, an amend
ment Of the Constitution abolishiug
slavery was submitted to, acted upon
and ratified by the very States which
had previously attempted to withdraw
from the Uuion. Another amendment
has been proposed, sent to, and acted
upon by those same States, and they
have rejected it. They are ten in mum
Der, which is more than one-fourth of
all the States Tho fonrtaentb amend.
nlcnt has consequently never been rati
fled by three-fourths Of all the States;
and the fact that it has been so ratified
cannot be rightfully promulgated or de
clared, as legal fact, by any depart
ment of the Federal Government, OIL
any officer thereof" ~. Y. Express

Remarks upon "COming Won
derS,',

Daniel did not understand his own
predictions, and God declared to him
that "the words should be closed up
and sealed till the time of the end, =
many shall run to and fro, and know
ledge shall be iucreascd'-and ''nonc
Of the wicked shall understand, but
the wise shall understand Dan. 12 :
4, 9, 10). THE wise were to under
stand the prophecies says DR.. Scott,
"by the teaching of the Holy Spirit,
by the accomplishment CT them in
providence, and by carefully compar-
ing one part of the sacred oracles with
another" "NNhoso readcth, let him
understand" says the Lord Jesus, in
reference to Daniels prophecies Matt.
a: 15). BLESSED is he that readeth'
says St. John, at the beginning of his
Revelation, "and they that hear the
words ofthis prophecy, and keep those
things which are written therein; for
the time is at hand.' And again 'If
any man hath an ear let him hear"
and "let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast" (Rev.
13: 9, 1S).
1t is noteworthy that, as "time" in
prophetic language signifies a year Of
years: or $50 years, and the prophecies
were to be sealed "till the time of the
end" SO it has now been just 800 years
since the virtual commencement Of the
Reformation in 1907, by the conversion
of Martin Luther and his call &c the
ministry, when, through his i1stru~
mentality, the Bible, after centuries of
wicked priestcraft suppression, began
to be circulated among the people, and
to engage the study of the civilized
world.
1t is, perhaps, general belief that,
as the creation took place in six days,
and was followed by one day of rest,
and ga thousand years are with the
Lord as one day" e Pet. 8: 81, so
in the history of the world, there will
be 5000 years of toll and sorrow, to be
followed by 1000 ..years of rest and
happiness. Therefore many suppose
that, as there were 1000 years from
the creation to Christ, it will be 1000
years after Christ when the Millenni.
um begins. But (not to speak of the
well-established fact that each "day' ol
the mosaic creation embraced myriads
of ages, } it may be stated that the ez-
act era of mans creation is hopelessly
uncertain. The period of 4004 years
which is set down in the margin oi
English Bibles, as having elapsed from
the creation to the birth of Christ
was taken from the chronological sys

VIII there be war? This is the
anxious enquiry, daily made by mil
lions, excited by the news from Wash
ington. Can it be possible that Con-
gress is so demented as to impeaeh the
President for removing member Of
his Cabinet? II is so, and We have no
doubt they will pass bill over his veto,
deposing him during his trial. 1t has
frequently been said by partisans they
will take "no step backward" and our
conclusion is, that the Revolution is
commenced, and the President will
shortly be deposed, unless he rcsists
with force instead of writs of quo ,car-
ranto. Will he do it? If he does
not-then long farewell to Constitu>
tional Liberty! unless the people in
their majesty take the matter in hand
and rcvolutionize the Government thus
controlled 10y traitors to Democratic
Republican institutions aud principles.
1he threatened crash is fearful to con>
|template, but all the powers of the
Government must not be absorbed by
the Legislative Department, unless we
are prepared for usurpation, tyranny,
and the scorn and contempt of the
world at the failure of Democratic Re-
publican Government. Will the people
Of the North quietly and uncomplain-
ing'y submit to this despotism of one
department? If they do, they will
merit the bitter dcnunciation of being
deg generate sons cf noble sires. -

of all remaining time, it stands, to the
Christian Church, in place of loug
succession of prophets. One of the
chief objects of the Revelation, is,
"like that of the other books of Scrip
ture, to subserve moral purpose, to
warn the the careless sinner, to point
out the way of salvation to the awaken
ed inquirer, to build up the weak
believer, to comfort the afflicted and
tempted Christian, and to strengthen
the martyr of Jesus under the. cruel
prosecutions of Satan and his emissa-
ries" The Apocalypse teaches US pa
tiently to await, and confidently to ex-
pect "the full consummation of the
great scheme of the gospel, when Chris
tiauity shall finally prevail over all the
corruptions of the world, and be uni-
verally established in its utmost puri-
ty.
There are many other interesting
thoughts that might be adduced in this
connection but time and space fail US.
Whether the last terrible infections
of divine justice to guilty world be
imminent or not, we may be perfectly
sure that, with all Of as, whose lives
are as transitory as the morning dew or
the summer flowers, the end of all tenn
poral things as at hand, and when we
shortly appear in the presence of our
All-penetrating and Almighty Judge
He will award US our everlasting desti
ny in accordance with "thc deeds done
in the body, whether they be good OF
evil" Oh that He would reach forth

Jesus to our souis, and save us from
plunging down the frightful sleeps thai
verge on bottomless ruin.

It must be admitted that the. aspect

Of Constitutional Republican Liberty
A horrid and gloomy picture! The
South is confessedly impoverished by
the Radical policy that has controlled
our counsels for the past four years,
and to complete our destruction, to
desolate our country and to make our
fertile fields barren waste, it is deter
mined to place US under negro rule,
controlled by the most vicious of our
white population. Virtue and intell-
igence are to be ignored, and vice and
ignorance are to reign. Utter degra>
dation must be the result Of such a
course, if it prevails. The failure Of
our crops last year, the almost entire
prostration of our industrial pursuits,
have made Bankrupts of the larger
portion of the most enterprising, aud
crippled the energies of all, and the
solemn thoughtful, and anxious en-
quiry is made, what shall we do? In

VESTIGATION AND REPORT.
The Tarboro' southerner., 1868-02-27

Reports have been received in Eng
land Of the outbreak of an alarming re-
volt in India There has been for
some time great excitement in sever
al districts, and the revolt, therefore,
does not come altogether unexpected.
England has many devoted adherents
in India, and an overthrow of English
rule at this time could not but be at
tended by the most disastrous conse-
quences: still England trembles at eve
ry report of an Indian insurrection.-
She has only $4,000 troops in Iudia,
and the whole English population, in
elusive Of the army, only numbers 1885,.
.0GO, while the native population
amounts to 15O.0OO,OOO These fg-
ures alone explain why England has
but little hope of retaining India the
moment an insurrection should spread
over all her Indian possessions.
