WASHINGTON, June 22.-Tho Senate wa?
engaged in the consideration of the tax*
bili.
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.

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Richmond Exftminer thus speaks of
. the Convention, June 17: The State
. Convention, now holding an adjotxrli?
ed session, which was called together
by Mr. Holden, as Military Governor,
contains a few uneasy spirits, who
require the folds of the "star span?
gled" to wrap them in security; but
the majority of even that carefully
selected body appear to regard the
tinkering process of the Constitu?
tion-menders in Washington with
perfect equanimity, and possess their
souls in patience, careless what they
dos.^ They are industrious in shaping
theil* own internal affairs, and seem
to be willing to let reconstruction
alone to the all-curing effects of t ime
and delay.
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.'
The performance is certainly not au
inconsiderable one for a gentleman
born in the year 1779.
FrOiu "Washington.
The session of thc Cabinet to-day
was longer than usual. . All the mem?
bers were present. ' 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. Fremont.

?TUc Planters ot Soxith Carolina..
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.

?. Bot STRUCK BLIND FOR BLAS?
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.

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."

ur MEMORIAM.
Died, ot congestion of the lungs, at Li?
berty Hill, Edgcafield District, S. C., on the
27th Andi, ISO?, Kev. AUTHUR WIG FALL,
aged fifty-eight year?.
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. The loving ones who sat by
him saw the mild, angelic air that settled
upon his face; and when, at ll o'clock, the
light fell on his brow, it was the light from
Heaven.
"Departed was that good man's life;
Cod's blessing on his aouL"
