Thc Constitutional Amondmci Senator Sharkey, ol' Mississippi, has thc bull by tbo horns. Anticipating th islative session of his State, he has wri letter to Governor Humphreys concerni constitutional amendment, urging its tion ii presented for ratification. Ile he following solid reasons for spurning lu the first place, it is not believed the amendment war. reco ?mcndcd bj thirds of Congress, as a body so com po not the Congress of the United States, i siderablc number of Slates being exe from representation. Any body of usi may as well claim to be the Congress c United States, and New York and Pei vania, for instance, may so manage to ex first ono small Slate aud another, unti control the legislativo power of the ni .with equally lui much propriety as thu ru tv how excludes'States ' from represent We cannot be told that becaus? wo ad the anti slavery amendment we recog the present Congress as constitutional, fi bad not then elected or sent members t Congress which recommended it, as we done in thc caso of the ponding one. No resolution can be communicated t States except through the President; ai thc proposed amendment was not submi it is a nullity. Another objection to tho ameudinei t hat while it prohibits thc States from .ab ing the privileges or immunities of citi: it does not specify what those privileges that being left to Congress, which is em] ered to enforce the article by appropriate islation. Congress may confer privilege one class to thc exclusion of another ; may assume absolute control over the pe and their domestic concerns, and thus v ally abolish the State. The second section, in regard to n suffrage, would probably exclude at least State from representation, us tbo mimbi male negroes over twenty-one is equal to number of white males. The third, ordisfrancbising clause, is sw ing io its effect, for lhere are few who! not in some way or another taken au oat support thc Constitution. Such a provi would be so contrary to tho theory of Government, and so oppressive towards a \ large class of the population of thc South St?tes, that it cannot be supposed that tl who proposed it could b:.ve entertain; hope that it would be accepted. They ot to have known, too, that such a provi; was calculated to endanger the existenc Government, as revolutions may always expected, sooner or later, from nets which franchised the enfranchised acts. The fifth section is the Trojan Ho abounding in mischief. [t provides t " Congress shall have power to enforce, appropriate legislation, the provisions of I article," which may be consirucd to authoi Congress to do whatever it may desire to Should the amendment become a part of Constitution, we shall have a far differ Government from that inherited from fathers. . A VIRGINIA VIEW OF THE CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT.-Thc Petersburg Index, of W ii csu ay says: In the event that thc elections held on j terday disclose Radical majorities, an atten will, at once, be thade to play a bluQ sat and to intimidate thc Southern States ii adoption of (lie constitutional amendment. S< styled friends Twll whisper that it is better yield this one time, as if all the concessfr wc made last year had not taught their o lesions. To all this bluster and the sugg lions of thc tempter, let us oppose a go consc;'i.nce, a quiet discharge of "thc duties life, and a firm, unwavering resolve to nothing that is mean, cowardly and disgrat ful. There need bc no fear of the adopti of this amendment. If all thc Northo States were to be temporarily led astray 1 passion and excitement, the Southern Stat? simply by a policy of u masterly inactivity can defeat tho .amendment until thc balan of tho Northern Stales shall, like Oregon, c pungo the ratifications hastily given und passion and excitement. i * , SHOOTING AND Anso.v.-Wo learn that ( ? Sunday night, the family of Dit Dorroh 1 tiiis District were r.roused by some one cal 1 ing for Ur. Dorroh. One of his daughte: I went to tho door, when she waa fired upo luckily without effect. Her father comiti out at thia time found his barn on fire and i act of giving an alarm was shot in the shouh . er, dangerously it is believed. Another daugl ter then came out and throwing herself bi fore the fiendish perpetrator of this act, bi sought him to spare her father. Threats an violence were given instead, and 6hcw?s toi to get out of tho way or ho would shoot he; Clinging still, suing for mercy, the piste was presented and fired, but again provider tiallj missed its mark. Thc would be ans? sin then fled. Tho barn was burnt to th . ground. ! ' We learn that Mr. Bennett Wnllnce. r Laurens District, has been arrested and cum mitted to jail, supposed to be perpetrator c the above outrages,-Newberry Herald, 17tl . An Able and Creditable Paper. . At the session of the United Skates Dis trict Court, held last week at Charleston, Judge BRYAN presiding, the Gran?! Jury, jn their presentment, submitted, in conclusion of their report,' the following in reference to the state of the country, which 'will bo read with interest : The Grand Jury, before closing th jir duties, feel constrained to refer to the state oi'thecoun try. The peace now reigning throughout the whole country after four years of civil war of the most sanguinary character recorded on the pages of history during the last century, is a source of most devout congratulation. "When we look around and witness the Civil Courts fully organized, and know that ail our wrongs and grievances will be adjudicated before a jury of our countrymen, instead of before Militari" Courts and other tribunals of a similar character, we have ample cause to be thankful fo:: the peace which we are now enjoying, and ?hould ardently desire that the sword may evsr remain sheathed, and that our country may never know war any more. It is fervently hoped that the National Con gress, at its next session, will dispassionately consider the state of the country, ai*d direct its whole efforts to bring about a full restora tion of tho Union by the admission of all the States to that representation in the National Councils guaranteed them by the Constitu tion, and entirely remove or modifi' all dis qualifying Acts, especially the Test Oath, by which the citizens of the Southern States are debarred from accepting offices that v-bey are eminently qualified to fill, and in doing so would reflect credit upon the nation at large. Our Northern brethren should exercise a good degree of charity in their legislation, and re member that the poople of the Southern States, more especially the people of South Carolina, have been educated in the school of States Rights doctrines, and really believed that tLeir allegiance was due to tb-; State, and that the Mate, not thc citizen, owed al legiance to the General Government. They honestly believed such to be their duty, and so acted. Now that it has been decided that the citizens allegiance is due to thc General Government, they have accepted the issue, and will faithfully abide by it. In view of all these facts we trust that at an early day all barriers to a full and complete restoration of all the States to their equal rights will be removed, and that we will again present to the world the happy spectacle of a united people. The Grand Jury would ateo direct the at tention of thc proper authorities of the Gov0 eminent to thc case of the Hon. Jefferson Davis, who has been held in confinement since the 23d April, 1865, and most earnestly urge roon them to use all efforts to gi/e him a speedy trial, or release him on bail. It is but justi?o that he should be tried or released. His counsel have made repeated efforts to have him bruught to trial, and are still ex erting themselves to that end. His longer detention withont a trial cannot but reflect with discredit upon the country, whilst the common dicta.es of humanity demand :ipcedy action in his case, as his bodily heal?h and mind are fast becoming irreparably impaired from his long imprisonment. Judge BRYAN heartily sanctioned the re port, and iu formed the Grand Jury that he would fake great pleasnre^n forwarding their excellent and patriotic Presentment lo the authorities at Washington. Emigration from the South. Wc'have seen with regret the fad. that some five hundred white people of North karolina are now on t heir way, in one body, as emigrants to the Northwest. We are sor ry to see the South thus losing its population, when there are such imman30 capabilities there needing development. Why ia this ?.\'odus of the white population of the i louth, ern States? " Not knowing tbe particular cir cumstances of the movement of this body of people, we canno: speak with ccrtai:.ty about it. But we veay much fear the violent course of the Radical party toward:- tue So ith is creating a general feeling of apprehension very antagonistic to material prosperty. The extravagant threats aud thc malignant spirit evinced by some of the ' leading Radi cals are well calculated to alarm the South. The people there are afraid of an annulment of the pardons granted by the President, and a general confiscation of property. Besides all this, the Southern ppople cannot but see that they are to bs subjected to a perpetual ngiiation about negro equality. They sec that thf? Radicals will never stop this side of u.-iiversal suffrage ; and where thc?-'negroes arc in such vast nn:.iuers as ia the Sou.herir States, this is bj no means an agreeable fu ture. Not long since the people ot Connecticut refused at tho polls to establish general negro suffrage. If they, with abolition and negro equality beat imo their heads with fists ec clesiastic for the last thirty years, and with only a handful ol negroes to get the benefit ul* voting, cannot stomach negro equality at the polls, is it strange that the people ol the South look upon it with absolute horror? They have not had the advantage of a long schooling in this direction, and besides:* the negro element with them is immense. How much to bc regretted it is thai, the Christian people cannot make just allowances for the Southern peopje in reference to the tender subject of negro equality.' But we do not expect such rational consideration i'rom the Radical party. Such is its fanaticism and its unhappy prejudice against our erring brothers of thc Anglo Saxon raco at the South, that if the power of the Federal Government is pcrinaneutly mnintained in their handt, we have thc most melancholy forebodings IA to the future of the South. Those meu ca.u des troy, but they cannot build up. Like their prototypes of the mountain iu the French National Assembly, it is only necessary for them to have tho opportunity to.prove them selves the greatest architects of ruin thc world ha^e' erseen.-National Intelligencer. One of the richest specimens or a real Irish bull which has ever fallen under our notice says an exchange, was perpetrated by the clever and witty, but blundering Irish kuight, Sir Richard Steele, when inviting a certain English nobleman to visit him. " If, sir," said he, " you ever come within a mile of my house, / hope you will flop ! there!" Another by the same gentleman is worth ' recording. Being asked how he accounted for his countrymen making so many bulls, he replied : " I canuot tell, if it is not the c?'ecl i of climate. I fancy if an Englishman wai f born in Ireland he would make just as many.': i JOS'-A young man, by tho name of Joan , son, has been arrested in Albany, N Y., foi ; perpetrating a new dodge.

Trouble Ahead. 'The .New York Commercial, Republican, Radical, as it is, secs breakers ahead. We regret, (says the editor) to have to confess that we see nothing but trouble and evil in tho future of our country. The people, from one end of the country to the other, shut their eyes to the most palpable truths. They have believed that violence could re store the Union. To 'attain this cherished object they' have advocated war, and have permitted and applauded the violation of the most important principles of our constitution, and of- i:he inherent rights ? of the people, which these principles shielded and protected. They have been led to believe that the rise of price caused by the use of a vicious currency, daily fluctuating in value, and therefore unfit for the purposes of commerce and industry, augmented their wealth 1 They have con- . 8ented-nay, urged the imposition of the most oppressive, the most costly, and the most vicious system of taxation, after these had been condemned by every intelligent mind in Europe, where these systems have been tried and abandoned. They have been lcd to believe that the national debt, which mortgages the entire property of the country, as well as the future products of its labor, was a blessing to the people and an addition to their wealth. They have been led to be lieve that placing obstructions to the ex changes of commodities with foreign coun tries was beneficial to the industry of the country, and that the enlargement of tho powers of the Federal government at the ex pense of the individuals that~ compose them, was necessary and advantageous. They over look the corrupting effect of our miserable political parties, of the vast increase of Fed eral patronage, and the important fact that no people deprived of individual liberty have ever long been prosperous and happy. The self-deception which induces our people to shut their eyes to these great truths prevents i hem from profiting by the dear-bought ex perience of other nations, and will force them to acquire knowledge through the bitter Imita of the erroneous measures to which they have resorted to meet present emergencies. Nothing but a total change in the policy of our government can save us trom future evils of great magnitude. Have we sufficient in telligence in the country to discover this, and sufficient talent and courage to apply tho proper remedy ? Cv/NFEDERATE CONSCIENCE MONEY.-In our Washington new*, says the New ^.'ork Stow, there was an interesting fact mentioned, which cannot but make ono reflect on tire truth of the old adage that " honesty is the best policy." It appears that the Secretary of the Treasury has received a communica tion from*an anonymous correspondent at Goldsboro, North Carolina, enclosing two hundred dollars in Confederate treasury notes, which tho writer says he was overpaid by mistake during thc- fast year of the late war in some dealings with a Confederate quarter master. The w.?ter of this anonymous letter excuses this apparently Quixotic proceeding on his part by adding that, being a Union man, he would not return the morey to tho Confederate Government, feeling that he was justified under the circumstances in retaining. it ; and.now believing that the Confederate debt might possibly be assumed by the United States Government, he encloses the same to the treasury. How wonderful to think that in the nineteenth century, and in North Caro lina, such an example of rare honesty could be found. If Socrates, in his search after an honest man, could have dropped in at Golds boro, how delightful he would have been at having succeeded in his quest, instead of having to return to Athens a disbeliever in tuc purity of human nature ! And the best proof of the disinterestedness ol' thc Golds boro conscience-stricken Unionist is the fact that the sacrifice cost him nothing. YANKEE AVARICE-The Valley Virginian understands that some of the United States soldiers, while gathering up the remains of their dead in tie Valley, have been detected in robbing the teeth of the bodies of the gold fillings. " Business is business."

A TELEGRAPH YARN.-A good story is told of an ambitious young man from the country, who, on a recent visit to Boston, was anxious to send a dispatch over the Atlantic Cable just for the sake of the thing. Gathering up all his loose change, he entered the office and expressed bid winh. Having writrro his mes sage and handed it iu, he laid his " pile'-' on the counter, exclaiming, -'flow, far will this money pay for V Quickly running over the money, the operator replied,u About an inch." The would-be sender departed a sadder and wiser man.
