LITERART.
HE COWSTTTUTIOH-I-TT OF THE LoWTKBS' TEST OOTU
Argument of Hon. W. V. Porter In toe Distrlot ?""ourt
of the United States, Hon. George 8. Bryon. Judge,
presiding. Charleston: Joseph Walker.
This pamphlet contains Mr. Porter's admirable
gument, delivered tome time ago in the Fede
1 Court in this city, before His Honor Judge
?yan. Our readers may romomber that the
leation was, whether attorneys already admitted
practioo in the Federal Courts could be do
rred of their right to do so, in a summary way
the Court, upon their refusal to tako tho test
th proscribed by Congress ; but the discussion
ibraoed the moro important question, whether
ngress could rightfully 1 oquire that oath to be
ten at all by any citizen. Mr. Porteii rests his
rument on three grounds: Having shown that
deprivo a man of his right to oxeroiso his pro
ston is substantially to inflict a penalty, he
>w_ that Conurcee, in indicting that poualty
au offonco alrta<ty committed, infringed tho
?vision of the artiole of the Constitution against
oost facto laws. The citizen must expect to
unit to paine and penalties whioh a pre-exist
law imposes upon Lia misdemeanor-, but the
,"?:i_*;.- '-# ??.- united Bt._i.-_ -.._
,o-taat precept of n^^^ fcME
, punishable when it was done. But admitting
igresa could impose this retroactive penalty,
oust be enacted, not io the summary method
.posed by the Court, but ia oooformlty with
,t important article of the Constitution whioh
lores that no citizen shall be deprived of
srty or property without due prooeSB of law.
ia portion of the discussion is that which will
Bt interest the public at large, because it is
,t whioh in of the most general application to
interests of the community, whioh, if fairly
?rpreted and enforced by the Federal Courts,
rthrow much of that extra legal and uncon
ditional coufiecation by which so-manyofour
oW'Citizons have been impoverished. But the
st imposing ground taken by Mr. Porter is,
it CoogrcsB is nowhere in the Constitution em
vered to impose a test oath, and that the act
scribing an oath having been passed in viola
1 of the Constitution, is not binding upon the
lot being able "propter simplicitatem" to criti
a tbia argument from the Juristio stand-point,
rocoid the opinions of others that it has ex
isted the law bearing upon the subject of
Ich it treats. But we can appreciate the other
rits of Mr. Porters arguments-its clear .ea
ling, its concise etatemont, and its ornate dic
1. Mr. Pon._B_ oratory, even upon legal
ice, has always had for us that charm which
aches to the ividences of a cultivated taste; it
ays furnishes ample proof that its author's
?inmentB are not oonflned to the profession
[oh he adorns. While we thank Mr. Porter for
last effort on bebalr of tho Constitution, we
irosa the hopo that the official relations
[oh have so long subsisted between him and
s oity may long continue, happily marked as
<y have been by faithful and efficient services
the one side, and a wise choice and unfaltoring
ifldenco on tho otbor.

to bo. Dut abo is truthful and good, and undor
the caroful training of her Btep-mother (who is a
noblo example of a true woman) bIio becomes a
most iiitorculing and loveable person.
Caroy Chipman is a fashionable, travollod
young gontleman, who trios to make every girl
fall in love willi him ; trillos with Hope, and mar
ried lur rriond, who is rich and beautiful. Tho
disappointment is beneficial in its efforts,
strongthous hor character, and brings out latent
talents.
The real hero of the book is Mr. Hamlin, a
toachor,-olio of nature's nr.hlem' n,-a large
hearted, wlioIe-80-ilod man, full of strength, life
and onorgy, whom it doos one good to meet, oven
in tho land of fiction. Would thero were moro of
biB type in real life. Wo know one or two such,
aud aro therefore thankful for it.
The story runs smoothly on, tho fortunes of tho
family progroes slowly, steadily and naturally,
until tboy attain all that is requisito to make life
desirable. Tho interest novor flags, and wo are
sorry when the tale te ended.
Wo would recommend it warmly to all our read
ers, and Bincerely hope this is not the last work
we may have from the pon of its gifted author.
The first ohjoct of tho book is to set forth the
loblonoes of work-a most usoful and healthy les
ion to learn at ali timos, but In those Utter days
nore than ever necessary-and every aid is of
-slue whioh will ?eaoh the youth of our land to
mow that "through wisdom is an bouse budded;
md by understanding ia it established; and by i
mowlodge shall the chambers bo ulled with all 1
ireoioua and pleasant riobes."
We shall not attempt a critioal analysis; our ob- t
act is merely to draw attention to what wo bo- t
eve to be a useful and pleasant work, which may t
ofely and booofloially bo put in the bands of all,

lo to that which is yet to oome. Hog and freod
?n, as associated in the farmer's mind, havo be
rne almost inseparable; and when the former is
ssing, tho author of its abBonco is easily ac
iintod for in the person of the latter.
Farmers, as a class, bavo hitherto boen much
dieted to complaining or, in other words, making
ich ado about nothing, if their crops did not J7
Hy meet their expectations. It appears, how
or, that latterly tboy havo Bomowhat reversed
o order of things, and are moro inclined to
iko less ado about something. At any rate,
ey retain the centre of gravity with a greater
groe of silence now than formerly.- Tho enor
ty of complaintB heretofore indulged in by V
om without a sufficient causo, has probably _e
on turned into disgust with tho knowledge of a
?1 one, and this may be assigned as one reason
ty they refrain. That they do have suffioiont a11
aao for grumbling now, if ever, no one can 0*
ny who will take the trouble o? coming to this
jtion of the wido world. As an instanqo Ulna- *5
itivo of the fact, I will cite a field ou the Bin- kr
-ker's Bridge Road, of an area of some fifty ed
res, planted in corn, whioh is estimated by good jb
jges not to yield ovor two bushels for tho whole foi
imber of ?ores. This may appear Uko reducing Hi

A wet spring, succeeded by a dry Bummer, aro ?1

use has beeu the want of proper cultivation, as ge
tested by the great superiority wherever the as
ilta man bas tilled the soil. Lands of ordinary or
rongth of fertility, whore the corn or cotton has wi

Bad crops, th? removal of the stay law, and the kti

LBTTBR FROH WASHINGTON.
[from our own correspondent.]
Wabiiinoton, August 1.-8ocioty, I loam, is
materially changed in this city. Thcro is no
association botwoon the citizons of Washington
and tho Abolition oflico-holdors, who aro generally
bitterly hostilo to tho President bocntiso of his re
construction policy and respect for tho Southern
pooplo.
"Good night to Marmion." As tho toll-graph
informed you, Congroes adjourned on Saturday.
For several days it has boen a chaos of con
fusion. To road tho Sunday Chronicle, vou
would proolaira for all that should coiiBtituto a
Congress, thoro never ha? boon such a one in all
timo, and novor will bo such another. In bia
editorial of yesterday FonNEY says : "The oloso
of a long and oxciting sosBion of tho American
Congress is always an instructivo, and, in every
way, interesting ovent. One sees human oharac
tor in all its varieties-the cupidity of the men
and tho curiosity of the women." After this an
nouncement of "the cupidity of the mon," be
breaks out into eulogy. Bat, from what I
oan understand, "Barebono's parliament" was
order and deoonoy and purity to it. Within
the last twelve hours of its existence, billa
were hurried through amidst clamor and con
fesi?n, without a moment's deliberation. Pres
to! and the bill wtnt through, like ono of the
Ravels through a window. The whole and only
mpulae and purpose of this Congress has beon to
teep the Radicals-that is, thomsolvns-in power,
ind get all they oould out of tho pocket of Uncle
Jam for themselves and their friends. They vote
hemsulvoe an increase of salary. From three
housand they Jump to five thousand a year, ex
lusivo of mileage, and they leave the poor dorks
?hind them to starve on a thousand or twelve
lundred dollars a year. This simplo incidout is
nough. It speaks moro than volumes of the
npidity and meanness of such a set of men.
Reflect upon this simple fact for a moment,
ongress has power to provide for its own salary,
b well as that of the clerks. Those Cougross
len get throe thousand dollars per annum, and
ly tboy cannot livo on that amount, in tho samo
ty where olorks and their famibos are living on
rolvo or fifteen hundred dollars. Thoy advanced
teir own inoome two thousand dollars, and they
ave tho poor clerks whore they found them, ro
sing todo any hing for thom. This is not all.
lis same Congroas, except in a rump session
;e this which is just over, spend much of their
ne at their homos, where their oxponses aro not
or as high as they are in Washington, while
a poor clerks havo to bo on hand boro all tho
ae. Was there.ovor greater meanness than
is r To read Forney's Sunday Chronicle, one
uld think that such men as LTCunoos, Abis
>es and Solomon were common in the OongroBB
it adjourned.
rhe temperance causo is waking np hero, and
"Wr?-VtMLl'&tf?. -At Jtltnnai AVflrv nnrn.r Usases
jy have been there. Under a recent Act of Con
ass Incorporating The Washingtonian Tompor
ce Association, they are making arrangements
build a large ball, whioh shall be an ornament
the city. General Howard and other gentle- I
in of noto are engaged in the movement, and
are ia no doubt it will bo a success.
rhere seems to be no regret here at the rosig
tion of Postmaster-General Dennison. He is a
nrteous kind of person, but he has no backbone
purpose. His BUCOSBser, Mr. Randall, is quite
1 opposite in energy and purpose, and is, besid e
thoufc mental reservation, the unfllnohm-i friend
the President. Of Harlan, of the Interior De
rtment, and Speed, Attorney-General, it may
said good rldance to bad rubbusb?. Their
cceBBors are good men and true. Judgo Pat
bson's admittance to the Sonate, it waa feared,
?uld be denied bim, but every one, so far as I
ar, rejoices that it was not, except the foes of
e President.
What do you think is the great topio of conver
,ion, now that Congress has adjourned, and its
ighty men, as Fobnet would call them, scat
red? Why, simply, "will tho President make
mov?is?" There is a great shaking of dry
nos in the Dopartmouts, and fear and anxiety
, on many countonances.
The Fenians appear to be masters of the sit?a
lo. The Radicals aro bidding for their votes
tb a mendacity a rcspootablo constable would
ashamed of. The Chronicle of yesterday heads
i article, "Congroes in favor of the Fenians,"
d then givoa a Joint resolution whioh passod
ingress on Friday night, giving thom tho use of
rtain buildings iu wbioh to hold public meetings
,nd particularly in referenco to Irelnndl"
The Radicals intond to oatch Paddy's vote, but
lddy, I fancy, will bo like Paddy's tloaundor
oir manipulations: "Pat your hand on him and
rsl not there." ASHLEY.

Which-The Knife ob tue Fobs?-Extraot from
t uupublishod work on "Manners," by a Prof.
lOOOD :
Very often, in both French and English litera
ro of the lighter sort, you meet with a vast doal
affected horror at tho idea of eating with the
lite instead of the fork. A Frenchman just land
on a first visit to the United States, was so
?cked at seeing a Western man conveying his
3d to his mouth with his knife, at the Astor
)use diuner table, in Now York, that ho rushed
>m tho boneo and ro-ombarked for "dear
ance" without delay. We say much of this hor
r must be alluded, for tho reason that we havo
own some hundreds as worthy and well-bred
ntlemen au are to bo found in London or Paris,
