Death of Mrs. Mary ?. Letter. This highly estimable lady, wifo of Wn. F Lkstsr, died at her residence, in Greenville tillage, on the morning of the 26th insL, in the 89th year of her age, after a short illness. Her remains were buried in the village graveyard of this place, on Sunday evening last, after the performance of the usual funeral obsequies, which were attended by a large number of mourning friends who knew and loved the do ceased, who was a native of our town, and lived among us till the time of her marriage, when she moved to Greenville. It is truly painful to record the death of ber, whose highly social and benevolent char meter Was so endearing in all the relations of lift. Her character was that ?f llm ? ??1 J christian, and a worthy subject for contempla tion. Within her sphere of action?the boRom of hei* own family, and among those by Whom she was surrounded, her influence 1ras wrought quietly but not unmarked, ller dignified, courteous, and affable deportment adorned the hospitality of her household. She did its honors with that unaffected kindness and politeness whioh wins esteem as well as ad mi ration; and by her conversation, marked with ease, vivacity, and good sense, and the engaging kindness of her manners, she imparted ease and oomfort to all who caine within the circle f these charming influences. To these were added that ohristian virtue of extending charity to all proper objects of beneficence. With intellc tual gifts of a very high order, nho combined sensibility, tact, and much practical knowledge of life. She was possessed of integrity and independence of oharactcr, which impressed itself upon all who knew her?commanding universal respoct?while her gentle virtues endeared her to all within the circle of her acquaintance. With a singular power of command and sterne energy, she oombined tinsoftest and most womanly qualities. In her it Was seen that a superior mind may be possessed by a woman without the development of any harsh or nnfeminine feature, and that a heart tin most tender ajyi affcotionato may prompt to all the amiable and generous deeds of life, without being oombined with weakness, llors wss the union of the feminine character with the force of Intellect and firmness of resolution, Which gave h?r an ascendency over others? an attribute difficult to define, but felt instinot iVely, by all whe associated with her, who is the subject of this notice, and remarkabla a peculiar natural gift. These prominent char acteristies were forcibly impressed upon all who knew her, as emanating from a heart alive to all kindly and noble feelings. She connected herself with the church in early life, of which she was a consistent member up to the time of her death. We deeply sympathise with her sadly bereaved family. The Test Oath Decided Unconstitutional. It Is reported that the Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the Test Oath is uneonstltutional, but have not thought proper to make the announcement. It is certainly not theright of this legal tribunal to withhold the announcement of ite decision in a matter so important to the oountry, and thus allow its people to be entrammeled by unconstitutional measures after they have been acted upon. Hon. P. P. Blair, it is Bald, remarked in a speech delivered in Missouri some time 6ince, "thatonc of the Judges of the Supreme Court in Washington, assured him that such a decision had been made by the Court, but that the mi" nority, who held that the law was constitutional, insisted that it should not be announced.'' Is not this a most flagrant dereliction of duty, if (rue, and we have no reason to doubt it. Polltioal designs and schemes if allowed to influenoe this highest legal tribunal, in the announcing or withholding its deoisions, render U a mere farce. Calligula with as mueh show of justioo, caused his laws to be written in small characters and hung out at such a height as to place them out of the sight of those who they were intended to govern. For this judicial tribunal to not and conceal its action from the people, in consideration of political results, is by no means in aooordaace with our notion of the duties oi tbia "third power." If this act is without the warrant of right, why not proclaim it, and relieve the country of this violation of Us orgAnic law.

Tiie Temper efBailcali. | The Uaptr of the Radicals at Um North la thus described by a Mend, a Bouthron, in a letter from Philadelphia, of the 20th instant ? " I hope you may be every way successful; but if that success is to depend in any degree upon a restoration of good feelings here 'at the North, it is more than problematical. Hatreds and animosities, nursed and fostered as these have been in this region, grow into frightful vehemence. My Republican acquaintances here do not hesitate to affirm that Thad. 8tevena is iun iru? iv|i[tm!uuiut? msn 01 me enure ptnj ?nay, of Uik whole Northern sect ion of iho United States. Not being competent to estimate President Johnson's power of action and resistance, I feel no llule anxiety concerning the result of the contest with Congress, in which ho is en- . gaged. Ail human Ingenuity, yon may he sure, will be taxed to invent ail possible modes of injury and humiliation to inflict upon us. There Will be little or no circulation of 8outheru productions, (unices Cotton), for a long time to come; bnt you, of course, will be expected to bay even the Northern publications which defame and slander you. Many things have recently happened to make me proud of my native South. The recent sad commemoration of the Confederate dead is one among them. Tho persistent adherence and fidelity of our people to the memory of their noble champion* is sublime. But these people here have too littlo magnanimity to compre- j bond the feeling, the sentiment, the lofty faith and virtuous courage in which tho commemoration has its origin. You cannot conceive how it irritates these narrow-soulcd Ilotuuticuii The determined attitude and energy shown by our pcorle in enduring ovil without complaint, resenting insult with pride, and the steady re- I solution which seoks to repair the harts of for- I tune, does them infinite honor, whioh any honorable people will regard with admiration. We learn from various other sources, that Boston aud Philadelphia are the two most vip erutis of all the Northern cities. It is said to be far otherwise in New York, which is cos mopolitan, is free from all clsnnishncss, and whose people seem almost to hare forgotten that there has been any war at all. In their intercourse with Southfons, the subject is never mentioned and their department is as hearty and genial, as if instead of cutting each other's throats, they had, for the last five years, been hob nobbing daily under the same mahogany, Washington, May 27, 1806. In the House yesterday, the tax bill being under d scussion, Mr. Stevens offered an amendment proponing to take from the Secretary of the Treasury the appointment of a SpeI rial Commissioner of the Revenue, and let that officer be elected by Congress. He remarked that tho amendment was offered because the Secretary had said he would appoint no man to office who did not support the President's policy. That it was time to build a wall to protect those who supported the United States, and that the Seoretary was tho recreant tool of a recreant President. Halo (Republican) reproved Stevens, and showed Congress had 110 such power of appoint ment. Washington, May 24, 1806. Thh new Frecdmcn's Bureau Bill was discussed in the House to-day. Section six, as , reported by the Committee, provides that when owuers apply for the restoration of lands allotted negroes by General Sherman, the Bureau shall rent or purchase oilier lands for said negroes. Mr. Stevens moved an umcndiuent, to the effect that the Bureau shall refuse to surrerder Sea Island lands to former owners, which was adopted by a vote of 79 yeas to 4G J noes.

The American Baptist Home Missionary Society have adopted resolutions instructing the Executive Board of the Society to continue their work among the Freedmen with every facility in their power, and give such religious instructions to the colored preachers as might be deemed consistent with discretion. Monk Relief row the Soith.?The Baltimore Suu of the 21st says t The ladies of Baltimore appear to never weary in well-doing, particularly as regurdi the relief of the suffering people of the South, j A number of them are now engaged in getting up a supper, siraberry festival ami promenade concert, to lake place duriug the present week at the new Assembly Rooms, as a means of securing the relieffor many cases of Southern distress which tho funds of the late fnir failed to reach. We clip the following from the Kingstre Star: Mr. Charles Lesesnc, a few days ago, killed a huge bear, near Murry's Ferry, on the Santo - river- This animal, we presume, had beeu driven out of the swamp by the recent freshet. It is supposed that it would have weighed six or aeven hundred pounds. It was very fat and its meat most delicious. Cuniors Flaunts.?In 1866, the successful candidate for the Presidency of the United ; States, Mr. Buchanan received 1,(03,029 votes; in 1860, tho successful candidate, Mr. Lincoln, reoeived 1,886,461 votes; and in 1864, he received 2,293,831 votes. At this last election eleven Statoe did not vote, but the whole vote cast was 4,090,860. In I860, when all the 8ta*es voted, the entire vote was 4,700,193, and in 1866, it was 4,019,818.?Caroluiian.

The London Timet, speaking of General , Lee't examination before the "Reconstruction , Committee," uj>: ] It would be superfluous to expatiate on the 1 Sirlt and temper revealed by such inquiries as ese. If the South is not to be re admitted 1 iV. TT?:? ??n < kuw vhiuu uuui questions oi mis kind can be answered to (he satisfaction of the Radical 1 party, it is manifest that the Union will never be reconstructed at all. The utmost can reasonably be expected from a people situated 1 like the Virginians in such a political confor- 1 mity as Qen. Lee declared to exist. It is barely 1 twelve months since these people were engaged 1 in one of the most desperate wars of modern times?a war fought out to " the bitter end " with every circumstance of passion and fury, j To expect that they should now look with poa- 1 itive affection upon their conquerors, condemn 1 their most eminent men as traitors, and repu- I diate aa abominable the principles for which they sacrificed tlicir fortuues and staked their 1 lives, is beyond nil reason. ' It is enough if they know themselves beaten, ' if they aocept the results without reserve, ?f ' they cherish uo idea of deferred rebellion, and ] if they are prepared to return to their former 1 position with a resolution to perform all their 1 duties as citizens, and with n readiness to re- I ceive any warning impressions which time and 1 intercourse may bring. These are actually the ' feelings with which General Lee describes them I as low animated. More, it must be evident, could not be expected, but if more is desired it is evident that the result can only be secured i by that very policy which the President has , avowed, and which the Radicals are so frantically opposing If something w still to bedoue ?need deny?before a Virginian can look upon 1 the Union as he looked ten years ago, it can be accomplished, as General Lee afhrmed, by ' liberal and conciliatory conduct on tho part of the Government. 1 If passive acquiescence is to be converted 1 into oordial sympathy, it must be by kind and 1 generous treatment. The policy of the Radicals j is stultified by th< ir own professions. They pretend to desire a more sympathizing South than lliey have already got, and then in order to improve Southern Iceling, they propose to iuflict political disgrace aud humiliation on the Southern people. They pronounce them to be still disaffected, or not suflicicutly well ntfeet ed and by way of conciliating them would condemn them to alienation ami rfutlawry.? Such a policy Btands self convicted, for its only result must be to make bad worse. It is not probable that a Virginian looks upon the Government of the Union exactly like n New Euglander; no reasonable person would expect that he should do so. It is enough for the purposes of prudent reconstruction If the Stales lately in secession have Abandoned all --.1 -? 1 vi i...icj'vii'iviivv, QIIU mc prcparcu m make * lie best of their position hh members of the Union once more. The rest must necessarily be the work of time, but it will be accomplished most speedily, as well as most surely, through such policy as the 1'resMent advocates. lie does uot desire to swamp the South with a swarin 01 black voters, nor to i I luce the negro in a position of invideous or perilous antagonism toward the white man He usks only for simple professions of political 1 honesty. lie stipulates that the Southern States shall forgoe their views of secession, acknowledge and confirm the abolition of sla- 1 very now and forever, deal fairly with the enfranchised slaves, and repudiate lite debt con- 1 tracted for the purposes of the rebellion. To i these conditions they are willing to assent, sad the l'resi'^y^. would open the doors of Con- 1 gress to the>u and so restore the Union. What 1 his opponents desire, or profess to desire, wei <1 may collect from the examination to which i General Lee was subjected. I They demand impossibilities, for it is situ- < ply absurd to requite that tlie South should humbly and lhanktully kiss the rod after the fashion they prescribe. The policy of the President, on the other hand, is a policy not only of moderation, but of promise. It bids fair to bring hnck the bouth to those sentiments of | perfect concord whicli the Radicals pretend to i demand- It is General Lee's opinion that such a policy, aided by I lie indispensable co-opera- i tion of time, will really produce this effeot, but it needs no argument to show that a policy , of provocation and oppression continued after i victory must intensity and perpetuate that very hostility which it is iiileuded to extinguish. .^1 1*1 ?? a I'liivuvoa autva till.irui Tho Fortress Monroe correspondent of th?: Now York Herald is a person of sufficicntly geiulenianly instincts to denounce a recent " verbal order'* prohibiting othrers, soldiers nnd others from taking otf their hats, saluting nr shaking hands with President Davis. These indignities l?e*peak a contemptible malignity uud bitterness like that which has gibbeted the | memory of Sir Hudson Lowe iu chains for the I petty insults, indignities and slights which he inflicted upou Louis Napoleon when n prisoner at St. Helena. When Jefferson Davis was the President of the Confederate Stales, the people of Kii-liinou I were not in the habit of uncover- ( 1 ing at his approach, but we venture the prediction thai when that heroic and unfortunate martyr is brought to this city for trial, 60.U0U tearful ?ud pitying inen, women and children will fill the streets through which he passes to his prison, to lostify in every way consistent with law and order their cstecin, respect uud sympathy for the persecuted statesman.

We also leant from the New York ilcrald, that the attentions and politeness which was exhibited towards Mrs. Davis by several Federal oflicers have also been | prohibited by special order.

Reconstruction is net needed, because the country as constructed long since has not been destroyed. What is needed is reconstruction between the Senators of the United States now acting and those who being loyal, hare been or may be hereafter from the Southern States.
