Gov. Sharkey, of Mississippi, has just

Two English detectives have arrived
here for the purpose of procuring infor?
mation of Femar, movements.
. The adjournment of the Legislature of j
Louisiana is said to have been hastened by
the uncertainty which prevailed upon tho
. whole subject of restoration. Newlv
"Ir^^aiWSIrritnr" understood, would
ftpfinitA with
Juiown.
Oso great Bubjects of comment here ?rei j
since Uley were delivered. It is conceded
that Ur. Raymond completely demolished
Bvery argument ever advanced by Mr.
Stevens. But on the other hand, the
friends of* the latter gentleman, and the
radicals generally, do not deny or seek to
evade tho consequences that would arise
(rom the adoption by the Government of ]
tho theory of Mr. Stevens. They boldly
avow their willingness to meet those con?
sequences; they are willing, they say, to
admit the right of secession; they ?re wil?
ling to admit that wo cannot try or convict
Jefferson Davis for treason, because he was
the head of an acknowledged belligerent
power; they are willing to admit the doc?
trine of State sovereignty; they are willing
to admit that the Confederacy was an in?
dependent power, a separate nation, having
the right to contract debts, and that we,
their conquerors and successors, must as?
sume and pay all those debts. All these
admissions they are willing to make for
this reason: They wish, as the conquerors,
to have unlimited control over tho South?
ern States. They arc aware of tho vast
wealth, of thc boundless resources, of those
States: this wealth and those resources they
wish to control. Much as they hate Jeffer?
son Davis, they hato the whole Southern
people more. They would gladly let him
go free if they could enjoy the pleasure of
punishing and grinding the Southern peo?
ple for twentjuor thirty yearn. They would
fladly assumemnd pay thw?oufkern debt^
ccaiiso it would be only a "drop in a
bucket compared with the boundless riches
that they could draw from tho South during
a period of twenty or thirty years. The
public have cause to look to the proceed?
ings of Congress, when it re-asscmbles,
with great interest. It is impossible to j
say now whether the programme of Mr.
Stevens will be carried out of not. That it
will be ably opposed by several Republi?
cans, is certain. But the radical majority
in both Houses ls large, and their determi?
nation is bitter and unrelenting.
The Post Office Department to-day
awarded contracts for services on forty
routes in Virginia and West Virginia.
These routes, for which offers herve been
made since the regular biddings, two
months ago, will cover nearly the whole of j
these States, not then.awarded with imme?
diate postal facilities. Mail service in
North Carolina is in greatly increased de?
mand, and a number of offices are being
made. To-day, upwards of thirty routes
wore let. All these services will go into
operation on New Year's day.
Contracts for services in South Carolina,
Georgia and other States are also being
fully disposed of, in the appointment office,
with a corresponding re-opening of post
offices in every Southern and South-west?
ern State. The number of such distribu?
tion may be set down at 200 per week.
Yesterday, Virginia, Louisiana, Kentucky,
Texas and Tennessee shared largely.
History of Amendments to the Con?
stitution.
The amendment to th9 Constitution "of
the United States, which the Secretary of
State has just announced to the Governor
of Alabama as having boen, finally ratified,
the vote of that State completing the Con?
stitutional number, forms Article XIII, of
amendments.
There has been no general proclamation
or notice of that fact. The Secretary's
notice is only incidental and complimen?
tary to Alabama. We have looked for the
history of the adoption of former amend?
ments for tho form of makii^. public an?
nouncement of the result. There appears
to be no rule on the subject, a?d tho prac?
tice has not been uniform.
There havo been, previot
throo suecoeeful efforte to a
8titution. There have been j
tempts, but no others got
greas. There have been twelv
adopted; but of these ten
together by tho first I
supplements to the _.
submitted in comphan?
the preamble, with I
conventions of a nun
theiix adonti
That ramification was promrdgrated by a
simple notice from the Secretary of State.
There has been so amendment rdnce,
until the present time, ft period cf sixty
one yetare, without any alteration in the
toxt"Of"ffife instrument, in all the old inter?
pretations of which civil war and political
passions are making such sad havoc now.
