The House devoted its entire session to the discussion of the Indian appropriation bill. The President tient "into Congress, to? day, the following message in relation, ta the reconstruction amendment lo thc-Con? stitution: Tb the Senate and House nf Representatives: * I submit-to Congreas ? report of the Se? cretary of State, to whom waa referred the concurrent resolution of the 18th instant respecting a submission to the Legisla? tures of the States ot au additional article to the Constitution of the Uni (ed States. It will bc seen from this report that the Se? cretary of State had, on the 16th instant, transmitted to the Governors of the seve? ral States certified copies of tho joint reso? lution passed on the 13th instant, prop.la? ing au amendment to the Constitution. Even in ordinary times any question of amending the Constitution must bo justly regarded RS of paramount importance. This importance ia at thc present time en? hanced by the fact that the joint resolu? tion was hot Hubmitted by the two houses for the approval of thc President, and that of the thirty-six States which constitute tlie Union, eleven are excluded Lom repre? sentation, in either house of Congress - although, with the singlo exception of Texas, they have been entirely restored to all their functions as States, in conformity with tho organic law of the laud, and have appeared at the national capital by Sena? tors, and have been refused admission to tho vacant seats. Nor bave ihc sovereign people of tho nation been afforded KU op- i portunity of expressing their views upon tho important questions which tho amend- 1 meut involves. Grave donbts, therotore, may naturally and justly arisu as to whether thc action of Congress is hi harmony with tho people, and whether to such an issue they should bc called upon by Congrus? to decide respecting the ratification of the present amendment, giving tho question as to the constitutional validity of thc pro .reedings of Congress upon the joint reso? lution proposing the amendment, or as to the merits of tho article which it submits through the Executive Department to the legislatures of the States. I deem it pro? per io observe that the steps taken by the Secretary of State, as detailed in the ac? companying report, are to be considered aH purely ministerial, and in no sense what? ever committing tho Executive to an ap? proval or a recommendation of the amend? ment to thc State Legislatures or to the j>eople. On the contrary, a proper appre? ciation of t he letter and spirit of the Con? stitution, as well a? pf the interests of national order and the harmony of tho t'nico, and a deference for an enlightened -Republican Government, may at this time wei} suggest a donbt whether any amend? ment to thc Constitution ought to bc pro? posed by Congress, and pressed upon the Legislatures ?if the several States for final decision, until after the admission of such loyal Senators aud Representatives of the non -represented States as have been, or may hereafter be, chosen in conformity with the Constitution and laws or tire ! United States. (Signed,) ANDREW JOHNSON. Accompanying tho message of the Pre dent is the report of the Secretary of State, announcing that ho had, ia conformity with the proceeding which had been adopt? ed by him in 18G5, in regard to thc proposed and afterwards adopted Congressional amendment of the Constitution of the United Stater? concerning tho prohibition of slavery, transmitted certified copies of the joint resolution to the Governors of thc several States, together with a circular letter.

TOUGH STATESMAN.-Lord Brough? am appears determined to assert the mental and physical claims of octo? genarians against ?heir late assailants. ! The Post, noticing the arrival of thu venerable peer in Paris, from Cannes, on his way to England, says: "He is in excellent health, ami capable of bodily exertion quito extraordinary at his advanced ago. For instance, he left Cannes in the afternoon, after an early dinner, traveled all night, and, the next day, arrived in Paris, in the evening; then, after a rapid toilet, went to a soiree to meet some of his French scientific friends, not return? ing to rest until nearly midnight.'

' It is understood that it was agreed that" the Secretary of State should send certified copies of the constitutional amendment to the Governors of the whole thirty-six States, und that it will be done at ouw. The decision of. Judge Olin, in the Circuit Court, tha'fc Mr. Stanton can? not be compelled to produce a certain letter in his possession, causes uni? versal surprise among lawyers here. Every one had anticipated a different decision, and that the authority of the Court* would be pronounced paramount, now that tho war is over, r The Republicans are playing theil cards so as to place the President and the Democratic party in apparent an? tagonism to thc Monroe doctrine and ito Fenianism. This is the key tc their present action in support of thc proposed Juarist loan, and their reso? lutions of sympathy with the Fenians. The real friends of the Mexican Re? public and the Monroe doctrine here-who are not to be hoked foi in the Republican party -art1: embar? rassed at every step they take by Juarez and Romero. It is even said that Mr. Seward ha? intimated to Romero that he can n< longer recognize Juarez as having any claim to the Presidency of Mexi co-that, office being now clearly vested in Ortega, as I stated som* months ago, and that he has directer Mr. Campbell not to think of going to Mexico until he can be accr?dite*: to President Ortega, and till lu knows where tho seat of the legiti mato Republican Government is What makes the resolution offered b; Thaddeus Stevens perfectly ridicu lons, is the fact that Juarez, win offers to mortgage Dower Californii and Sonora, has no more authority t.i do *<. than john C.

To the low^ountry planter, Charles? ton was indebted for much of- its gaiety, and the liberal expenditure that fed the streams of industry and currents of business. He, in fact, imparted a tone of refinement to this section of the State. Many of them being mon of leisure and education, visited Charleston during the sum? mer months, and had their charming residences in the suburbs or on Sul? livan's Island. Tlie pervading spirit of Charleston society was therefore that of refined intercourse. There was a geniality in this intercourse that rendered it highly attractive - the mercantile and planting classes were on the best terms. Thoro was none of that discordance of interest and opinion that is found so fre? quently between tho inhabitant of town and country. The Sea Island and rice planters were often found at the table of the merchant, and this 'hospitality was reciprocated. Com? merce became thus blended with pursuits between which there was nothing uncongenial. Though hos? pitalities never sit so gracefully os when dispensed by the man of leisure, who embellishes his retreat by the social virtues, and hythe liberal cul? ture of literature and the arts. Those who can look back for a period of fifty years, will find no difficulty in recalling the names and presence of the Heywards, tho Mani gaul ts the Lowndes, the Middletons, the lin? gers, who came at every recurring period of summer to transfer their hospitality from the banks of the Santec or Wateree to the shores of the Cooper and Ashley. The loss of material wealth, the wanton destruction of the goods of life can be borne; they may be re? placed, but what can restore the ethcrial principle which hos produced those works of art that have einbel- I lished our galleries and adorned the walls of our dwellings? It will ever be a subject of poiguaut regret that works of genius, in common with the most ordinary objects of military capture, fell a sacrifice to tho wanton spirit of ruthless war. That hostility against books and pictures should have been carried on, in an era of civilization, is without a parallel in history. Instances without number have occurred since the commence? ment of the war where appeals of j taste no less than tho claim of hu? manity have been disregarded. The treasures of art have in modern times followed the standard of the conqueror; but while the eon tents of galleries have been deemed | among the spoils of victory, these treasures have remained amone; the , objects of future imitation and un dying admiration. When Napoleon Bonaparte rifled the galleries of Italy, and their con? tents were transferred to the Louvre, they were not mutilated or lost to the world-they remained among the imperishable trophies of genius- the memorials of ita power; but the un distiuguishing fury of a blind rag?' makes no difference between a Raphael or a Claude Lorraine and the merest daub of art. All are involved in a common destruction, lt appear? ed as if the licentious soldier sought those objects of vertu on which he could vent his spirit of diabolism. He held the mles of discipline in no more regard than he did tho precepts 1 of morality. It has been said, in palliation of these excesses, that many of these j raids that partook so largely of the i predatory practices of licentious ! warfare, wcro acts beyond control 1 amidst the passions engendered by a I civil conflict. This is an inadequate plea in the midst of the humanizing , influences by which we are surround? ed. At all events, tho Southerner who ; his been reared amidst the reline men ts of civilization, and has enjoyed tho solace afforded by liberal culture, has reason to deplore that his lot has been cast in a period so devoid of all moral restraint. The reverse of fortune which has j visited the planters of tho low conn- j try of South Carolina can scarcely find a parallel anywhere. Suddenly cast down in the abyss of poverty, the most painful contrasts are pre? sented. The owner of 200 to 500 slave. with a princely income, has not only to submit to thc most degrading employments, but he frequently cannot obtain them. In some in ! stances he has to drive a cart or attend in a retail grocery, while ho may have to obey the orders of an igno? rant and coarse menial. There, is something unnatural in this reverso of position-something revolting to our sense of propriety in this social degradation. Tho only similarity to it must be sought in the status of the expelled population of the French Antilles, which was driven on our shores in a destitute condition. [Savannah Nf ir Herald, The Negroes in Petersburg, says the Inde.,-, have not called upon the Bureau, ortho Christian Commission, or tho school-marms, or any other band of brethren from Yankee land, to assist them in building their new church, but have turned over plans and specifications to four gentlemen, all former masters and old residents of Petersburg, with the reqnest that they will give out tho job and pro toot them in its execution.

PHEMY.-The - Brighton (England) Observer relates a caso where the ven geanee of the Almighty was visited on a youth named Richards. Tho South was thirteen years of age, and ad been playing for some time with his companions, when a dispute arose between them as to the "notches" or I jumps Richards had scored. Ile de? clared that he had made more than twenty, and his opponents protested that he had not mme so many, nigh words and bad language were freely used on both sides. Eacli boy ac? cused the other of falsehood, and at length Richards, failing to convince his companions of the truthfulness of bis statement, flew into a violenl rage, and emphatically shouted "May God strike me blind if I have not made more than twenty." He had scarcely uttered the adjuration before be let the "dog" fall out of his hands, and, throwing up his anns, exclaimed: ''Oh! dear, I cannot see." His companions ran to him, and find? ing what he said was true, at his own j request led him home, w here, on ex? amination, it was found that a thick film had overspread each of his eyes. In this miserable condition the youth has remained ever since, and Ave are informed that there is little or no I prospects of bis sight being restored. - I AN litisu CATHOLIC JOURX>L ON THE FENIAN MOVEMENT.

A JEWISH, DIVORCE.-Tlie New Haven Ju uni'tl anti Courier has tito following: "Yesterday, a divorc??, according to the practice in the Hebrew Church, took place at the residence t>f the Rev. J. Gabriel. At the present term j of the Superior Court, a divorce was j obtained by Louis Rothschild from ! Esther Rothschild. Oi?e of the par ties desired tliat a divorce should also be granted after the manner of the Hebrew custom. Yesterday, it was accomplished. As it is somewhat in? teresting to know what the ceremony consisted of, we give it. It was as follows: Tho wife, dressed i:: black, with a black veil over her face, ap? peared with her husband before a council of ten men, members of the synagogue. There were also present three rabbins, one of whom acted as tho petitioner, and wrote out on parchment a petition in Hebrew, ask for a divorce, and also wrote out the decree of divorce; the second acted us the respondent or defendant, and tile third as a kind of judge; the council of ten acting as a jury. The I man and wife having appeared, they stood side by side before the council. The rabbins and council then took an j oath, all shaking hands -the oath j lieiug Lo the effect thut they would | consider the divorce legal ami bind-j iug. The wife then removed her veil, and the rabbi who neted ns peti tiouer read the petition in German, ?md stuted the ease to the council, who, having heard it, decreed the divorce. The decree, folded up, was handed to the husband, und the wife raising her open humus, tho husband dropped the paper into them. The rabbi who acted as judge then took it and cut the ends like a fringe. He then handed it to tho President of the synagogue, telling him to place it among the records of tho society, to bo preserved as evidence of the di? vorce. This having been done, the ceremony was finished, and the. par? ties departed, no longer mau and wife." A viol? ut hail storm swept over Sampson County, N.

His anVcstors. fleeing from political per? secution in their own country, settled in Charleston, S. C.; ind there, in fradd street, on the 21st ot April, 1806, was boro thc subject of 4hi.- brief and unworthy notice. When he wa? brit sis yearn of age, his parents removed to the "up-country, and found a beautiful home Oti ( 'heres' Creek, in Edge field District. Here Arthur Wig fall was nnrtnred amidst tho purity and simplicity of country life. The influence of the elevated virtues and refined graces which distinguished this hospitable home. . attended him ever through life, and clothed his manhood and age with honor, honest v and unsuspecting faith in hts fellow-men. He was graduated at the Virginia Uni? versity, ivhcre lr.? high order of ability and his literary attainments gave him an en? viable ranli. Shortly after bis graduation, he was admitted to tho practice of law and equity in this State. He regarded his pro? fession, however, neither as a stepping? stone to political distinction, nor a ladder to ambitions preferment; ont viewed it rather as the protector of the weak and the shield of t he oppressed, insomuch that in tho practice thereof, he looked only tn the naked majesty of the law. In the spring of 1838, an only sister, then in estrenas, summoned him to her bed? side to "see how a Christian contd die;" and nut ot this chamber of triumphant death he went forth a changed and wiser man. And from that hour, all who saw him might have said, "I know a man in Christ." He was invested with the orders of the ministry of tho Protestant Episcopal Church in 1839; and thenceforth, with meek and unaffected grace, he followed in the footstep? of his Lord and Master. And not only with lowliness and grace, but also with power, might and influence. For twmity-seven years, he was a soldier no less than a priest, doing famous battle for the faith, however humble in th? spirit. And at the end of these twenty-seven years, he died in the harness! His lita was ever one of charity, blended with strength and dignity. Thc vices of tho wicked were forgotten in their woes, and his words of comfort and cheer fell naturally and sooth? ingly hy the bed of sorrow, guilt or pain. "Hepraveth well who loveth well," and so this good man, both by precept and exam? ple, watching, weeping and praying for all, not only "allured to brighter worlds, bat led the way." Atter entering upon the ministry of Christ, he qnitted Edgefleld, and lived for fifteen years in Clarendon, Sumter Dis? trict, as Parish Priest and Hector of St. .Mark's Church. The latter years of his life were spent at Grahamville, Beaufort District, as Parish Priest and Hector of the Church of the Holy Trinity. The sheep of his docks are scattered by the woes ana disasters of war, but from far and near they send their tearfnl cries of undying love and honor. They weep for tho loss tiley have sustained; but of their guide and shepherd, gone before, they exclaim, "Ho could read his title clear;" "He is for? ever blessed." A? in old day H his ancestors had fled from persecution, so in latter da vs he wa? himself forced to nee- with theloes of all worldly goods- the wrath of an invadbig enemy. A lurking but fatal disease had long ago fastened npon him, and, wofully oppressed by the defeat of Ids country with the iron hi his soul- be returned to die in sight ot the place which had known and nurtured his boyhood, and amid the lovctl scenes of his early years. Those who had known him in brighter days gave him a hearty welcome. in all his wanderings through this world of care, iu all his griefs-and God had given him his share -he proved himself "homo facht? rt?! unguent, and when we add et Christin nus, the measure of man is complete. For twenty-seven years, this righteous man, in sunshine and in shadow, in pros? perity and in adversity, entered thrice a day into his clusot, with ibo touching prayer upon bis lips, "Our Father who art m {leaven;" and ou that last day of sick? ness and pain, ami when the accustomed hour of prayer came round, and his lips whispered lowly hut audibly, "Thy will be dunc," it n us done.' And be who liad mur? mured so often in his illness, "Her ways arc ways of pleasantness and all her paths aro peace," departed to be forever among those pleasant ways, and tu wander throughout all eternity along those peace? ful paths.
