With a view no doubt of Mopping the mouths
of babbling liars at the North, and some few .
at the South, we arc glad to know, that Clnv- ;
ernorOmt, has authorised the Smith Con./<></??
to say, that be is utterly and uueipiivocally
opposed to the Constitutional Amendment, and
will not. recommend its adoption by the Lcgis- j
latere of South Carolina. The New York ller
aid gave birth to mis slander, in its agonizing

also, that capitalists arc already discussing j
the question of ooutracling with Cnincsc com ,
pauies for immense ituiiilters of them to culti
ate the cotton fields of the South tor a term 1
of years, and they *</y, at a much cheaper '
rate than negro labor can heoltinincd; and, i
that soon the rivalry between the Cliiuaineu
and the negro will commence. As soon as j
the Pacific Railroad is completed, the path i
wiM he opeu for a perfect avalundi of these
ugly and disgusting creatures, in comparison
with whom, the negroes of the South are far,
cry far superior in all their relations of labor j
and intercourse with the whites. In a few |
months or years, these roving locusts will i
cross the llocky Mountains and begin to fill
up the Valley of the Mississippi?and, it is \
a tid that millions of these ltarb.tri.tns can s'ill I
be accommodated in the mines on the Pacific 1
Coast. These Chinamen then, are to become )
the rivals of the negro in the cotton, rice and !

<)?r Court Week passed off very <|uiel1y.
There were some convictions Tor Assault and ti
Buttery nml some for Larceny. Wo have no i
room for a specification or enumeration of i
cases ami charges. Kvery l?o<ly must have t
noted nml been pleused with the refined I
demeanor and elegant courtesy of the whole t

crablc .ludge addressed the Itur or a prisoner, i
the only disturbance to the grave silence nml ' ?
attention which was given to every word he I
uttered, was made by himself in bringing his !
open hand down with much force on the desk, ! i
thus drowning the very words on which his ?
Honor would place the most emphasis, tine i
feature of this Court we must not pass over
without remarking, that the colored people [ i
who were tried lor various offences, received 1
I lie ul most leniency oft lit* laws. Tltey were i

evidence in the ease o( the Radical Commissioners,

appointed two honest men?Messrs Valiant
and Voting, to till their places. Previous to
the removal ofthe oM Commissioner*, who had i
deprived the larger portion of the people of I
Maryland from .voting, the Radicals organized
military companies, and called upon ilie a I
y ining States to assist them by force of arms,
in resisting the action of the tiovernor, and
that they would shed all their precious blood
before the rascally commissioners should be
leinoved. Tile tiov'r removed them, however,
ami behold ! a Radical mass meeting was cull
ed, and instead of mustering their foices, and
marching upon the enemy, suddenly discovered
that discretion was the better part of valor,
and all their fuss and fury ended a- mildly aany
sucking dove. In the meantime, a fe?
regiments ofl'iiiicd States troops were seen to
he bobbing round," which had the effect id
freezing up all their hot valor, and their great
mass meeting s,,tily melted away by adopting
an address to the country, declaring that they
were "anxious to maintain peace," and the
whole affair ought to be s-tiled by the courts

A Project is on foot for supplying Now York

by tbe means of which they expected to pull
out the whole of his bills, but it didn't work.
