I ?p? | FOR THE liAPliS. The Engineer's Tettimony BT ALVBBD BINKETT. My name is Joel Robson, rail road engineer. I have been 01 the D. ?fc T. road, off and on, sine die winter of *49j was on doty ii November, '01. On the eveninj of tbe 15th of that month, I rai the Night Express ont of Know) ton with the 41 Pilot," Henrj Stokes conductor, and Tim Cas fireman. It only lacked two min utes of starting time when I go into tbe cab at the north switch.? Tim was ont oiling op, and_I die not notice Dim closely. Don1 think I should have suspectec anything if I had. He had beer with me a good while, and I knew him to be trnsty. No, I wonldn'i like to take my oath, bnt I think he was perfectly sober. What ever else may be charged to liquor, I can't bold it responsible for what happened that night. Tim had been having trouble in his family, and had been morose for two or three day6, but I knew him too well to set that down tc his disadvantage. I never knew the particulars, only that his wife wasn't contented with him. and wanted to go back to her folks.? Tim tried to make her happy, and loved her more than she deserved But that made no difference with her. How he came to marry her, I don't know. I didn't notice anything out ol ' the usual way with Tim, until we had passed Weston station, and were well under way again. Then he stopped dead still in the centre of the cab with a shovel of coal in his hands, let it fall to the floor in a black, dusty heap, and leaned against the window with such \ a shiver as I wouldn't like to see again. 44 Joe," be said, witbont looking up, 14 Mary is coing away at last, going to live with lier brother." 44 Never mind, Tim," I said, 44 you have done your duty by her." I was sorry in a moment for saying that, for it must have set him thinking of the hard life he had borne sub?-:isaivelv. lie stood up to wait across the floor, but stumbled half way over the shovel. 41 Pick it up, Tim," I said, carelessly, 44 it might throw you down." He stooped down with a scowl ?the first I ever saw upon his face?lifted it with both hands, and hui-led it out into the night with all his strength. 44 That's bad," I said, as coolly as I could, tor his manner had filled me with a strange excite raent, 44 but there's an old one in the tender." He turned to the window for a moment as if ashamed. nnH T thought I had conquered his frenzy, but nothing human could have done that then. At Clinton the conductor came to the cab. saying that he had promised to escort some ladies to the hotel, and would not be back until the last second, so Titn must wait at the office for our orders.? There had been extra trains on the road, and we were not to leave any station without dispatohes. So Titn went in to wait, and 1 leaned out of the cab window, watching a bridal party getting aboard the train. There were a great many farewell kisses for the handsome bride, a great deal ol happy laughing and hand-shaking, and then Tim came with the orders, and we moved on, leaving the friends of the party waving hats and handkerchiefs in the light of the station lamps. When we were underway again, and Tim sat down opposite me, 1 saw that his excitement had increased. He was white as s corpse, and his eyes glared like a maniac's. " He is coming for her to night, Joe, when I am awav." he casned . * / D f 1 leaning close to my ear, " but li shan't have her." I knew it waa useless to talk tc him in that state of mind, so I sal still, and watched him close. " That was a handsome bridal party that came aboard at Clin ton," he said with a shodder, but more rational than I had seen him since we started. " Going tc their own doom !" be almost sobbed. " Poor creatures." "Come, Tim." I said, "you must admit that all marriages are not so very unhappy as " " No, no," he groaned, " I didn't mean that, but " He stopped short, and the old fierce look came back to bis strain* ed eyes. "If there should be any mismanagement, any accident tonight," he added harshly, " would it not be better for them, for you, tor all, to lie dead in the wreck than Jo live as??" " Uynic I" I langl.ed in the old way, as we nsed to joke and banter before bis troubles had chang ed him so. u Oli I I forgot the orders," I said, more to change the subject than anything else, for 1 had always trusted him. 44 Do we wait at Latham for the Eastern Ex press r He shook his head. 41 We must run to Pino Grove five minntea ahead of time, and pass there." I . c i i posed to listen to the Adminfctrai tion's proposition, hut. as a gener> - al thing, they resolutely reject it, and determine to take their chao> r cee under the administration of Horace Greeley and a friendly I Congress, rather than tall into the I trap.

" Yee, but we must obey orders What is the matter, Titn f" I ad 9 ed, as a groan escaped his lips, ending in a howl of mental age t ny44 He is poing afler Mary on the j Eastern Express, to-night, but 1 t will stop him lw He tnrned quickI ly away, and ponred Shovel after t shovelful of coal into the for. nace. 't This trouble is too much for : him, I thought, as I watehed his face assume a fiendish look of determination in the glowing fur) nace light. We were now dose upon Lap[ ham, and I conld see people and i carriages waiting for the train.? r We shot by in a second, but not > too quick for me to see the station , master catch and swing aloft the ( red lamp. I Danger ahead! I sprang to the lever, but Tim I held me back, holding the order close to my face. I saw in a moj ment that it was Tim's writing.? He had filled the blank for the op* erator, as be had often done bef fore, giving liim a made up order t to sign. Two trains running forty miles an hour, were face to face on tho | track, and I was caged with a maniac! Again I sprang to the lever, but Tim was npon me, with the strength of ten men in his arms, and the look of a demon upon his face He had me on the floor in a second, and in another, had doubled our speed.

A number of influential Southern tnen have beon invited to Washington, without being ini formed what they were to come > for, and some of these gentlemen are now in that city. Their presence has led to inquiry, and it has leaked out that the Administration party has made them this proposition: If they will send delegations from t he Southern States to Baltimore instructed to demand a Democratic nomination, or to bolt the Convention in case it refuses to take that step, and make a nomination, the Administration party will pass the bill to refund the cotton tax, grant aid to tho Atlantic and Great Western Oa* nal of Georgia, and grant aid and subsidies to other Southern enterpises and schemes now before Congress. This is an ontline of the negotiate, and if the country will watch proceedings at Washing* ton closely for the next few days, it will see a bold development of it. It is said that one or two of the Southern men interested- iti the enterprises referred to are die .

I The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, referring to the pee* 1 eege of the Amnesty Bill, which provides " that ell political disabilities imposed by the third Section of the Fourteenth Artiele of Amendments to the Constitution of tbs Uoitsd 8Ut-s ere hersby removed from nil persons whomsoever, exeept Senators and Representatives of the Thirty-sixth end Thirty-seventh Congress, nod officers io the judicial, military and navy service of the United States, heads of departments, and Foreign Minister# of the United States," seys : The number relieved by this set is estimated by well Informed Southerenere et not less than 150,000 persona of capaelly and expsrienee, who, for six year* past, have been debarred from all participation in the Federal, State, County or Munieipa! governments. A number of prominent pereons disqualified by the fourteenth emendment are now dead, hot, nevertheless, a large mate of active talent in the South is thus rendered aveilable foi Federal end local employments. The exceptions, however, embrace e considerable number of the conspicuous politicians of the .1 South. Among those stilt under disabilities arc ax-Senators Clay and Filzpatriak, of Ala- ! bamo: Robt. W. Johnson, ot Arkansas; 1 Yulee and Mallory, of Florida ; Iveson and Tombs, of Georgia; Benjamin, of Louisl- | ana, now a citizen of Great Britaio ; Jefferson Davis and Albert G. Brown, of Miseissippi; Polk, of Missouri; Chestnut, of South Carolina ; Nicholson, of Tennessee; Wigfall, of Texas; Hunter, of Virginia, and the following named ex-members of the House of Representatives: Pugh and Curry, of Alabama; Rust, of Arkansas; Scott, of California ; Hawkins, of Florida ; M.J. Crawford and Jackson, of Georgia; Lamar, Singleton and MoKay, of Mississip. o :-i- a w s - ? oiu i in una v oner, 01 jNortl) Carolina; Miles, McQueen, Bonharu and Boyce, of South Carolina; Avery and Thomas, of Tennessee; Reagan, of Taxaa; De Jarneite, Prvor, Bocock, Leak, Sailh and Boteler, of Virginia, aod others. The exemption of the Thirty-seventh Congress was made expressly to include General J. C. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, who left his seat as Senator from Kentucky to aid the Confederacy, and nerved first as General, and next as Confedtrate Secretary of War at Richmond. The list of Judicial officers of the United Stales still disqualified, comprises ex-Su preme Court Justice John A. Campbell, now in large prhctice at New Orleans; Judges Halyburtoa and Brockenbrough, of Vitginia, and others. It is a question whether ex-United States Marshals or District Attorneys are or are not embraced 10 this exception, and whether persona who had ceased to hold judicial positions when secession commenced, and subsequently aided it, are or are not relieved by the bill. There were about 260 officers of the United 8tates army and navy who left their places to aid the rebellion, aod of these probably not one-half are now alive. The law, however, le ambiguous, and the exceptions may and probably do ioelade all those who had even been eduoated at W*st Point, or who had resigned long anterior to the rebellion in which they participated. Of the number thus under digabil' ilies are General Bamuel Cooper, Confederate Adjutant-General at Richmond ; Generals Joseph G. Johnston. Beaur-gard, Brtgf?. Samuel Jones, Hardee, Pemberton, Guatavna W. Smi'h, Hood, Stephen P. Lee, Lovell. D. H. Hill. B. 8. Ewell, Jubal A. Early, G. W. Cualia Lee, now President ol Washington and Lee Uuiversity ; Dabney H. Maury, Fitxhugh Lee; Colonels R. B. Lee, Larkin, Smith, L. B Northrop, (0 S Commissary-General; Myers, (Quartermaster-General,) and others. Captain Semmes, of the Alabama; Prof. M. F. Maury, formerly Chief ol the Washington Observatory ; Captain Brooke, inventor of the Brooke gun, and of the system of deepsea soundings, are the most noted exceptions among ex-navy officers. Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi, Secretary of the Interior, ia the only Cabinet offieer ol Buchanan now alive, who aided secession . But the exceptions include also Gov* ernor Wm. A. Graham, ol North Carolina, who was Secretary of the Navy under Fillmore ; 0. M Conrad, of Louisiana. sx-Seoretary of War, and poaaibly some others.? Henry R. Jackson of Georgia, and General Wm. Preston, of Kentucky, were foreign ministers, and are, therefor, embraced in these exeeptione. It is hsrd to estimate precisely the number etill under disabilities^ but It wonld not be wide of the mark to pat the number at from throe hundred to five hundred persons. The folly of rslsining these exoeplions, in addition to the almost criminal error of an ambiguous statute, upon a snbjsst where aev sral penalties attach to an offender, is exhibited by a glance at the number and .k.?o.-r.?? 1 *?* "?L wi |niwm wiiu ?re reiwTfo. i niH engkriM, lot only many of tbe moat Mtive advooetee of aeeeaefon, bat nlao aotno who ainee tha war have b?jn peraiatent " Bourbona," and in ona or mora aaaaa pars aona who dtadain a pardon.

Their response has from day to day reaobod me through telegrams, letters and comments of journalists, independent of official patronage and indifferent to the smiles or frowns of power. The number and oheraeter of these unconstrained, unpnrehased, unsolicited utterances satisfy me that the movement which found expression at Cineinnati has reeeived the stamp of publio approval, and has been hailed by the majority of our countrymen as the harbinger of better days for the Republic. I do not misinterpret this approval, as especially complimentary to myself, nor even to the ebivalrous and justly esteemed gentleman with whose name I thank your Convention lor associating mine. I receive and weleome It as a spontaneous and deserved sribute to that admirable platform of principles wherein yonr Convention so tersely, so lucidly and so forcibly set forth i the convictions whioh impelled and the purposes wbleh guided its course, a platform which, easting behind It the wreck and rubbish of worn-out contentions and by-gone feuds, embodies in fit aad few words the needs and aspirations of to-day.

That whoever, being s corloration or natural person, anJ owner or in sharge of any publio loo or of any place of public amusement or entertainment, for which t lioenjo from any legal authority ia required, ?r of any line of stags coaobes, railroads, or ither means of publio carriage of passengers and freight, shall make any distiuotion as to tdmlssiun or accommodation therein of any sltisen of the United States, because of race, solor or previous condition of servitude, shall, in oonrietioo thereof, be fined not less than ikaa ? * - - ? fi/w uui uiurv mm 9J,UUU, lot OMb often CO ; and the peraon or corporation ao offending iball be liable to the eitiaetia thereby injured In damages, to be reeorered in an action of debt. Sec. 2. That the offeneea under thia Art, and aotiona to recover damagea, may be protecuted before any territorial, diatriot or circuit oourt of the United Stater, having Jnrladioticn of Crimea at the place where the offence war obarged to have been committed, with a right of appeal to have a writ of error in any oaae to the 8upreme Court of the United 8tatea. Amrbstt awn raw Test-Oath A dlrpatcb from the South, which repreaenta that the leel-oath of March, 1802, atill continue* to operate dirfraaehtnement, notwithstanding the peerage of the amoerty act, la quite a mistake. The test-oath act wae modified ia the last Congress so as not to apply to those whoee disabilities have been relieved by action of Coogreee. Therefore every person who Is relieved by the recent amnesty act is eligible to any oBce on eimply taking an oath that they will remain loyal to the constitution and the government, and that they will so swear, without any mental or other reservation whatsoover. It la not trae, therefore, as the dispatch alluded to etatee, " that the great mess are till barred from holding the moat insignificant clerkship in the gift of the federal government." The only elase still disfranchised is that specially excepted by the law, which went Into effect on yesterday. The best proof of the contrary is that it enabled Mr. Roger*, of North Carolina, to take the modified oath and his soat in Congress.

That noble aoldler and aterling patriot. Gen. John Cl Breckinridge, whom tha whole South delight* to honor, urgea the support of Greeley and Brown by the Democracy. The Colombia Phoenix recorda a peculiarly hard care. A State official, who baa not received any poitipn of hia aalary for aevaral months, haa been oompelled to borrow money to pay hia lioenae tax " on aalary," which ie etill due. In the Preabyterian General Aaeembly, at Richmond, on the 81 at, the resolution in* troduaed by Col. Preaton, of Virginia, inquiring into tbe expediency of preparing litnrgical aerviee for congregational wor hip, waa rejected by a vote of one hundred and five to five. The State Superintendent of education haa issued a notice to the varione County School Cummiastoncrs, advising them to close the public schools at once, inasmuch as hia drafts for the apportioatneuta of school lunde for the Counties bad been refused payment by the State Treasurer. Tbe Pickens Sentinel of tbe 23d inat., aays: It is rumored that the Air Line Railroad Company contemplate moving, at an early date, the present location of their road south of the Eighteen Mile Creek, which ia aaid to ba much the cheapest routs. If thia be true, it will relieve th* county of all liability to tbe hundred thou* nu uuiwn, xu Declined uy it, in ntd of the road, and alill be m much benefit to lb* County." Ton Ata-LiRB Snore.?We eee that tbo oitixena of Greenville, 8. C., are making a deeperate effort to get the abops of ihla road eatabliahed at that plaoe, and that an extra aeaaion of the 8outh Carolina Legiatature haa been called, the purport of that call la tbought to be in thia connection, and it ia reaaonabie to auppoae that the oitixena of Greenville will leave no atone unturned to acoompliah thia object. But little haa aa yet been aaid on the aubjeot here in Charlotte, but we cannot be* live that the oitixena of Charlotte will fold their anna and allow thla important matter to be anatcbed from them. It ia uaeleaa lor ua to go into a detailed atatement of the advan* tagee to be derived from the eatabliahment of the abopa at thla place. Thia la too plain to be miataken. It will not only bring to Charlotte induatry and mechanical ingenuity, but it will bring capital and labor, and will be tho mean a eventually of building up oar now email olty to one of huge dimenalono. We don't claim that Charlotte haa many advantagea over Greenville ia regard to the loeation of the thopa, but we believe that with all her other railroad advantagea and outleta, and with her now growing population, thla will be the beet point to locate them. We hop* the citixena of Charlotte will arouae themeelveo to their interact and open their eyee to the greet advantagea to be derived from thla enterpriae and go to work, and, if poaalble, defeat the object of our South Carolina rrlend*. It would kt botior for tbo citiien* horo end tbo oity to giro tbo ground on which to locate thoae chop*, and in addition cobcoribo Ut,tM dollar* rath or thaa bare the *Uopa located at any other point.? Lot there (hope bo located at Qreearllle, and In lee* than tea yeara, the capital and the larger portion of tbo laboring mechanic* wlU he oarrlcd to that place.
