F. A. Sawyer, asking for an authoritative statement in regard to A the oath required of members of a Congress. In reply we received the t following :W UrrEn STATES SENATE CIHAMREn, t \VAsuHNGTON, June 4, 1870. m Dear Sir: Your letter of 1st inst., d inquiring "whether Congress now re quires the test oath of 1862 to be a taken by its members, or whether any d person who is laboring under disabili. ties by the fourteenth amendment is "t eligible to a sent in that body," has "l just been received. In reply I have " tostate, that all members of either house of Congress, and all other ollivors of the United States Govern ment, are now by law required to take the oath prescribed by Act of Congress, approved July 2, 1862, except those persons only who have been relieved of their political dis abilities. The latter cla,s are requir ed, before entering upon the duties of the ollices to which they may have t been elected or appointed, to take and subscribe t,he otth presrihed by Act of Congross, approved July, 1868, 0 which is simply an obligation to .rup- t port and defend the ontit ution of x the United States ain*!:i:t, all cuemies, - forni<n :ind doiesi is ; to hear Li ti t fuitlh and ali;giniuce .o the same ; and to well and faithfully discharge the h duties of the ollice on which the per- o sons so taking the oath is about to on- d ter. The Senate has passed an Act re quiring the latter oath of all persons not under the disabilities imposed by 0 the fourteenth anendment, and who tl cannot take the "test oath." But the t IIouso of tepresentatives has not yet j acted upon the proposition; though I am in hope that it will do so before n the sossion ends, or certainly berore t this Congress ceuses to exist.

The Northern cotton firm whoso t failure has already been briefly an nounced is Gorham, Gray & Co., of New York and lloston, and their liabilities will be for about ten thou- i sand bales. '1'he firm commenced a buying some two months ago, and the t boldness of their oprations is said to . have beeni a loading cause of the steady tone of the NQw Y!ork market during that period. The losses would havo a beena far heavier but that t.heir liabili- c ty to make good their otfors was ques. f tionod.

If we examine the matter closely. e will find there is a vein of roman lo delusion running through many of ur repinings at our lot being cast in is or that locality, rather than in iotier and a different one. There 1, in the firstplace, a morbid love of io idea of mirtyrdom in the human eart. It would destroy nine-tonths f the staple of existence, and totally eprive of the power of conversation a Irge part of mankind, and render icm even moro miserable than they onfoss themselves to be, to take from hcm the notion that they are mar Fra to unfortunate circumstances. tet thoin, therefore, indulge the hu ior of martyrdom, provided always 6af tboy ronoabo., "6. e wha,a hey will, the same or similar unfor unato circumstances are sure to fol ow them. But it is 'id, and in part said truly, h,% our i';-. ai s are not prosperous ad are not making much headway. 'erhaps if another idea could grow ato favor amongst us, that planting ud trading are not the only occupa. ions that a human being can engage n, and that there are mineral and nanufaturinmg resources in our midst, nid a practical education needed to evelop theam, planters might then ourish as well as if they were to emi rate to the arid highlands of the Vest. It is not, then, necessary for s to prove that planting upon a rorn-ouit system with unsatisfactory ibor, is quite profitable, to argue in hvor of standing still and building up radually around us, as a better poli y, than seeking a remedy from with ut, or by running elsewhere. At the -bottom of this whole discon ant with one's locality is a fatal fal icy. It Is that which attributes sue ess to material prosperity only, and iaterial prosperity to fortune and to hane, to "good luck," rather than to he honest achievements of manly haracter ; which exaggerates the in uenoo of accident, and belittles the ower of will. "The mind is its own lace, and can make a hell of heaven, heaven of hoil." And he who will inig aside the delusion that his sue ~ss in material or moral aehieveme'nt dlependent, in the maln, upon any ther thing than his own right arm and is own steady will,- Is already far Ivanaced toward. the goal of his do rcs. Thme Duity of Candidates. WVe held it to be the policy,anod ren more, the duty of candidate., n. mr a free government, to electioneer r the votes of the suiffegans, and to are no means, short of personal agradation, to coneillate their fa&vor. efore the war, If the tints gIven to ectioneering, and the money con ibuted to the support of party jour til, to the publication of campaign ouuments, and to other expenmes ado neesesary, or at least e*pedient, p the charater of the suifragan., be I considered, it would -not be ex avagant to assert, that even bsere, In >nth Carelina, where we had but o00 rty In Fedehti politios, thie expesea 'an election resotsed ovr~a laun4re ousapd dollar.e.

Stand Still and Grow. We have been trgod lately to move to one of the Western States, far greater pecuniary prospects being held out to us ; but deliberately re plied, that we considered this portion of our country wealthier in natural resources, and at least a century ahead of the West in the character of its people and'the type of its civili zation, and therefore, preferred it for the future home . of our chil dren. If any of them shall wish to emigrate, they can do' so, after.we shall have given them a civilized education here. It is very well for a young plant to be set out in a new place, and to grow up there. But we feel for ourselves that we will do a surer and better thing, if we avoid snapping a single one of our roots, at our time of life, and grow to our due proportion, whatever it may be, just here, in the State of our birth. Firm ly entrenched, thus, in the impregna ble fortress of our individual exam ple, we can speak to some of our rest less and unhappy follow-citizens ex cathedra, and give no offence. Growth in fortune, and in what is far more importent, in manliness of character, my friends, is not promoted by ill-judged changes of the locality of your residences. If you will re main stationary, every ebange condu civo to your good, will, in the majori. ty of instances, take place, in due time, exactly where you are. Your rivals in business will die, or become your friends and oopartners. Those who h'ave hated and suspected you, will begin to love and respect you, if you continne striving to do that which is good ; and your friends will think it high time, if you have steadily and faithfully exhibited the ft uits of vir tue, to honor you, and idsist upon your accepting the attentions that they desire to pay you as tokens of their esteem. Have you faults ? Then, begin at once to correct them. Do you fancy .you can do so better among a new set of people ? This is a grave mistako. A clear ease of reformation, by bla Oino bontacunee ofr tisab ustlul" ful Heavenly Father, whose goodness we the more and more most fervently and humbly adore, has greater power to conciliate favor, than even original righteousness of conduct. This truth has been beautifully expressed by Shakespeare : "For like bright metal on a sullen ground, MT REFORMATION, GLITTERING O'ER MY FAUI.T, will show more goodly, and attract more cyes, than that whkich& hath no foil to set it off." Besides, that same merciful Provi dence, while preserving for you all of your early friends, brings you in contact with a new set, of people in your business every year, who are willing to judge of you, not by what you have been ln the past, but by what you are in the present, or prom ise to beoome intheofuture. Your little children at least, God bless them are willing and anxious to be deaf to the voice of scandal (whether true or false) and to believe you capable of all that is good. Stand, therefore, immovable in faith, strong in hope, patient under poverty, con6fdent in God, and having done your humble part with manly dignity, and with un. pretending integrity of purpose, sink gently to the bosom of your mother Earth, and take your rest in sleep. This is the way to live, and to grow, and to bear fruit abundantly. Of the man who can set this noble part, the beautiful figure of the Psalmist Is lIteA rally true: "lHe shall be like a tree PLANTED BY THe RivERs oP IVATER, (they move, but he is fixed,) which shall bring forth his fruit, IN DUE SEASON, His leaf also shall not 'wither, and look, whatsoever he doeth, It shall prosper." Favery : nterprise Shossld be Judged by Its Direct Rtesmalts. We think that much prejudice ex ists against many a profitable and practicable undertaking, by reason of its being thought of in connection with the secondary advantages It may brIng, and on which its advocates of ten too exclusively ipsist, rather than in conneo;ion with its direct advan. tages and' results alone. We endeav or ouw'gelveg to avoid this way of pre sting what we earnestly approve of, iso pcoetton an other jnanufacto ries, direct. trade, immigration,, and the liker .It Is tree that the indirect me6ondefg) a6titageae our comma. nity of any o e f these enterpriacs ce uoarq4Iy bexeaggerated, and ybt it Iiot ew aeunt of any remote or inbideVatil -$.d'te cotde 'frori thenw b 4se AI.etp o4nged.expendi4 *Mise of - esh aund the ato.ame >enefits that each will confer, are so rery olear, that their cause is weaken- M id by distracting the attention away from them, even for the purposo of xhibiting other incidental blessings w ;hat they will bring. i If it is not true that the South pose 0 teases advantages overall the world for spinning, as she does for ginning the 3otton, we would not urge the subject Df cotton manufacturing. There was a time when cotton was sent in the iced to England. To export, it in the by iced now, seems to us .ery little more be ;hort-sighted and thriftless, than send ing cotton in the Hut, as we do every re year, instead of in yarns. ob Again : A direct line of steamers R Sal to Europe will pay handsomely. The be businet is a perfectly sure one, and th money invested in it, is money judi- m( aiously invested in a most profitable su way. Therefore, let us take stock in a a steamship line from Charleston to de Europe. It will pay. No other ar. in gument is needed. Lastly : Those who have introduc. ed five hundred immigrants into New. h berry and Laurens, find it very pro- o, fitable. It supplies labor where It is of needed. Money is made by it.- wi Therefore, sober men advocate immi- be gratiod, because it pays. A plain presentation of the merits a of progressive enterprises, and a clear Ft statement of the direct and necersary fe benedts of them, such as we have at. t tempted above, is better than dwell, in ing on side-issues, whether social or A political. 01 The'Whites and time Militia. c The apprehension that organizing to the militia would produce bloody riots, ua has passed away, and in our judg- pi ment, our young men had better or- ta ganize companies, elect their own of. P fioers, and offer their services to the n" Governor. They would also do both of a wise and a patriotic thing, to obtain no as many of the field appointments as to possible. The military humbug ever or will be a great electioneering engine, b and if we wish to be represented in the J Legislature we would do well to en- tlh deavor to use it, to gain the votes of the al suffragans.

If o there be not virtue and pluck enough ae loft in the party and in the people of . the States, to resist the Mongrel can cus Amendment, then the next best in thing--and the only thing to be done --is, to stoutly refuse to go into any campaign at all, and lie tremendously stilt, on the high ground that the Cnstitution has been subverted in such a manner as to render at! voting a fare. inflame, as nr.uch as possible t the minds of the masses with the feel- fo ing ttat the States have been forcibly 4 tr ipped of the great and sacred right se of independent franchise.

This3 we say1 seems the last and o only resort of the Democratic party, Lh if the fraudtilent Amendment is to be bc regarded as. a law. And we have ser the Demooratlo Legislature of New as York, under the lead of a rough and Lb ignorant ward political adventuter ofa this cltgy, hasting to recognite it as law, even before it has been decided to be so by any competent tribunal (for Grant's proclamation does not bi tuske It law) and thus the example ofb a universal caving in and surrender of th the patty, has been started. It Is scandalous. A great number of leading Meon gre! statesmen are of the o?inion that wi the so-called 'A mendment has not be yet legally passed.. They even try to Lh kceep the qnuestion fromn the Supreme th Court, which is not filed with lawyers w, of their own party, dreading that fa the7 may think more of their own wi legal reputation than of auch a soanda- au lous party measure.
