Tbose elections are of thc greatest significant Their result docs not confirm the opinion, late so prevalent in ibo South, that Radicalism has lust r. und it* limits. Tbo issues of neg'o suffi nj and thc unconstitutionality of the reconstruct.? laws huve not entered into the contest as much was expected by Democrats ; and the latter ha' been deceived and are disappointed. Radie gold, power* and patronage, combined with tl military prestige of Genl.

Under present circutnstai ces, we would counsel passive acquiosconce in th laws of the conqueror, so long as thoy are, o facto, in force, and until they are repealed, mod lied, or annulled by competent legislative or ji dicial authority. But at tho same time we woul counsel no admiration of thoso laws, no ad mission of tbeirleg.ility or constitutionality, and n relaxation uf any lawful moans fur tho final tr uuiph of Democratic principles. And although a cloud uf gluom and uncertain ty .'oems closing around us, we need not, then fore, tread life's pathway with our heads bowe down like bulrushes. Wc have still many thing tu live fur, nud to bc thankful for.

Royalty in Sad Plight. Isabella II, Queen'.of Spain for twenty yoars past, bas beon drivon.from ber tbrono and Crom her country. She has sought refuge in France, where she is now inhabiting a castle owned by Louis Napoleon. She is ? homely lady of forty, and, in view of the fact that she weighs 2< O lbs , it tnight be said of- her tbr?t ?he is '-nb sardine." A sardine che certainly is, however, as retard? her royalty. She is not a person of good charac ter or good morals ; no moro than waa ber mother before her. There are three branches of the Bourbon family; the Fro/icb, now long in exilo; the Italian, driven from the throne of Naples a ' few years back; and' the Spanish,, now driven from tho throne'of Spain. Tho Bourbons have been bad pooplc, and' now they aro protty well gone to the dogs. At present thero seems hut small probability that any of them will txtt reign again. Queen Isahella II combines in her person tho vices of both the Italian and Spanien branches, her motherbeing a Neapolitan Bourbon? Her husband ii a wretched nobody; ho is her cousin as well ns her husband. By him, sho has two or throe children ; and by divers other men, a much larger nu tuber. Her younger sister is tho wifu of the Duke do Moutponsicr, a son of tho dethroned Louis Philippe of France. This naughty and corpulont queen has, atlast, by hor misrule and her misdeed?, so provoked the indolent Spaniards, that they have risen and driven her out of the country. Well'Tor her that with her crown was not demanded the head that bore it! Such thing* havo happened in France and elsewhere. The loaders of tho revolution, Marshals Prim and Serrano, have organized a Provisional Gov ernment, which is working so well that the whole country is in profound ponce. Franco is neutral. Louis Napoleon receives Isabella not as a queen, but only as a woman in distress. This is ominous. Napoleon scents trouble. He is discreet And amidst all this, tho question on: our side of tho Atlantic is: Shall wc not now acquire Cu ba ?

EDITOR : I would thank you to publish (ho following views in reference to the proper way to make np a case to test tho Constitutionality of tba Reconstruction Acts before the Supremo Court of the United Stutes : " New States may be admitted by the Congress j into this Union ; Lut nu nao Stute ?hall le formed or .-erected icithin the Juridiction of any_ other State; nor-any State be .'ormed Dy- the junction of/two or more States or ports, nf ?tatos without the content of the Legislature of the Stat* convened, ^atwell as of the Congress."-CONSTITUTION OP ' TB? UNITED STATES. *?'" . '?.Nall?nV or St?t?s''?r? bodies politic-societies of men united together for the purpose of promot ing7 their mutual safely and advantage by the joint effort of their combined strength."-VATTEL, Chapter I. Tho word "Jurisdiction" means tho power to govern. The Delegates to the Convention which mot in Colombia in 1SG5 were elected by whito men only ; and by authority of this Convention an olection wai bold for members to the Legislature, at which 'election nos? but white men were allowed to vote. It appears therefore that the body politic of South Carolina.was, at this time, composed en tirely .of tho whito race, and that tho Constitution established by tho Convection did not admit into the body politic tho -negro race ; bot, on thc con trary, expressly excluded tit at race from all par ticipation in tho government of thc State. To the Legislature elected aa above was submitted the amendment to tho Constitution of tho United States, proposed by Congress, which abolished the institution of Slavery, which Amendment hus, in consequence of its adoption by this Legislature, and the Legislatures of other Southern Suites, become- apart of the Constitution of the United States. To this same Legislature, at ita session in 1860, was submitted the Amendment to the Constitution known as Article XIV. This Amend ment the Legislature rejected, partly for the rex sou that Congress was by this Amendment at tempting to incorporate into the body politic of the Southern States a new race of men,-new and not known to the Constitution of our great Sires. 'From ihn foregoing, it is plain that the Congress did, at least as late December 1866, recognize tb? body politic of South Carolina as being-composed entirely of the white race. Nevertheless Congres?, has, by means of the Reconstruction Acts, at tempted to form and erect within tho jurisdiction of South. Carolina-one of the-'Old Thirteen-in defiance of the action of her Legislature, and in despite of the Constitution of. tho United SUAes, anew body politic,-a new State, made up, ip greater part, of the meanest and dirtiest materi al?; a State in which the negro far exceeds in numbers the white man. If this attempt of Con gress succeeds, then will these new States he en titled to all the comity due from one State to another State; thon will these new States be toe equals, in the Senute at least, in Legislative pow or of any of the oldest and most powerful and glorious States composing our grand Republic; then will the white man's government, in tho South at least, be subverted, and negro rule inau gurated. Horrible calamity ! alike disastrous to ciyjjfUberty, and to the material prosperity of the country. *Sbe Judicial Powor shall extend to all cases in* Law or Equity, arising under this Constitution, UnjjLawa bf. the United 8tatha, and * ' * * -to controversies botwoen two or more States." C?B&TIT?TION, Article Hi. In cases whore a Stato is a party tho Supreme Court has original jurisdiction. I j. Hence it seems to mo eminent! y proper that the State Officers appointed or elected UDdor author ,irj?>of the Constitution of T8?5, should assert (heir right to exercise the functions of their o?T eeg, respectively, and if resisted, then they should carry their cr.ae ;^ the Supreme Court for judi catfon. If '.aeso Officers decline to not in the premises, or should the Court refuse to entertain case, then will it become the duty of tho peo ple to assemble in primary meetings and petition, -CvAder authority of Article I-amendaient to the Constitution,) not Congress, bat tho Government as a whole, for a rodrosa of grievances. It seems to me that we will not be held blame less by posterity if we fail to exhaust at least all Constitutional remedied.in our efforts te throw off this abominable usurpation put over us by Congress.

The New York correspondent of the Ai guata Constitutionalist, writing under date t October 5, say? : j, - < Whatever may be the result of tbe-elcctio in November-whether it bc -the success ( Grant and Colfax, with a Congress lo tn a tel or the choice of Seymour and Blair, with House to support them-there is one thin especially sure, and that is a very decide modification of Northern opinion in favor x Southern whites is gding'tm, ancT'-iio wher more plainly than in the Republican port] There is growing up much uneasiness respect in g the nature of the monster to which ne gro suffrage at the South has given birt!; The negroes are, proving themselves so ag njressivo and insolent, so dead'to all'mod?r?t counsels, sd ready to use their nhmericf, strength for purposes which do not come with io the (ange of political powers, that genuin alarm begins to bc felt. ?? . It begins to be more fully understood, too that Southern men, with habits and ?duca tion which have become component puris o their natutc, cannot and will not. endure ne gro domination, nor their attempts lo forci themselves into social equality ; and tint tbi only way in which sanguinary conflicts cai be avoided is by assuring the negroes tba they have strained their tether, and must bi content tb recede a little from the advuncet position which they have assumed in the ad ministration of public affairs. Remember, 1 nm drawing the picture of the future in it* worst aspect, a* indicated by the change o tone in the party whose prospects of Bucees* are now considered the more promising. Ir case of Democratic success, how mucfi bright er tbe vista! The changes in the. tone in dominant Re publican circles is foreshadowed by the At lantic Monthly. That is a very pronounced Republican organ-nearly up to the Sumner standard. It has been publishing for nome months a periesof articles entitled " The Man and Brother," which deal -largely in the characteristics developed by tho manumitted slaves. These articles profess to be.the re* corri of the experieuce of an- officer of the Freed men'* Bureau. The article iu the Oc tober number details incidents said to have occurred at Greenville, S.- C. In this negro suffrage i* frankly admitted to have been a " choice of evils;'' that itu" full of danger ;"' that the emancipation has improved the con dition of but few of the negroes ; has benefit ted the mass of the whites much more ; that the negroes are not at all likely to be able to compete with the whites for pr??minence in any walk of life ; arid that they remain poor und -thriftless where even an European pea saotry would be prosperous. This is-telling the iregr?phiUst, who are principal readers ol the Atlantic, some plain truUis, which are likrly to cool ih?ir ardor-to have tho negro made a demigod.- The Atlantic seems al?" anxi -us to have cfje people of the North fullv understand the true slate of feeling ut Ihe 8i>uth ; to this end it puhiishrs nn article en titled '.

Il is written, as I happen to know, by an accom plished lady of .South Carolina, whos.- efforts jh the walks ol' literature date since the dov ng of the war. These two artiel.-s will do S ..tithe rn men good to read, although the first contains much that is disagreeable in detail, - - It may be noted, also, that the Republican orators have ceased to defend negro suffrage as intrinsically right ; it is merely excused on the ground of immediate necessity.
