COLUMBIA. Tuesday Morning, October 23, 1866. 'Mic Constitutional Amendment. Thc conservativo press or tho Northern States have como.ont man? ly, denouncing tho men who intend that, tho Southern people should swallow this last and bitterest pill. The New York Times has tho follow? ing: "THE SOUTH AND THE CONSTITU? TIONAL AMENDMENT.-Our intelli? gence from thc Southern States shows that an effort will be made to array ila; Southern people against thc con? stitutional amendment upon a point ol' honor." Wind nonsense. There is no need ? il' an "effort" to array the Southern people against the amendment. They are all of uni1 mind. If the Times knows of one single Southern man of any influence who is in favor of tho amendment, let it namo him. We do not know one. As the Nashville Union and Ameri? can jwstly says, the Southern people believe that there are alternatives worse than temporary non-repre? sentation in the. United States Con? gress. As groat an outrage as it is, and as patent and inexcusable infrac? tion of the Constitution and of their rights as it is, they will submit inde? finitely to the wrong, rather than be? come parties to it, by adopting its measures. They protest, and will continue to do so, against the practi? cal subversion of our Government, and will stay out until dooms-day if flay cannot como in with their rights and privileges unabridged, and with? out being subjected to degrading con? ditions precedent. Representation? in such a body as the present Con? gress is not tho greatest good that may attach to a great and free peo pie. The other States can act as they see proper, but tho South eau wait and suffer, and endure still moro than they have already done, for the sake of principio and tho perpetua? tion of free institutions. Hie North may cease to cudgel its brain as to the probable action of the Southern States. They will not adopt the con? stitutional amendment. Another Chronicle Canu.nl. Tho Washington Chronicle, of Mon? day last, had the following para? graph : "An army ollicer of high rank, who has just returned from a trip to the South, learned, while in Charleston, that the Twenty-ninth South Carolina rob'el regiment had been ro-organized, and that they boasted of having ten? d? red their services to President Johnson to aid him in any attempt which he might make to disperse Congress. It is evident that there are a few citizens of thc Palmetto State anxious for annihilation." We believe this to be a lie, out of (lie whole cloth; if not, it is easy for [?'orne', to give the name, of the "army officer of high rank," and thus shield himself from the author? ship of such an absurd fabrication, lint he has established for himself such a character, that every one will como to t he conclusion that the above malignant statement is the. produc? tion of his own brain. From his youth up he has been unscrupulous and unreliable. This we learned many years ago from a gentleman who worked with him in tho same printing oilier-, when the traits of that character so fully developed since were even then visible. Nobody but a fool would believe (?ie story of the voluntary re-organi? zation of a "rebel" regiment in South Carolina-her people have something more important to attend to, and 110 hotly but a knave would utter it. Sr uv 1:1 LLANCE.-Speaking of the sitting of the Court at Darlington, the Southerner says: "Gen. (?ile, of tho Fi adman's Bu? reau, was in attendance upon thc Court, during tho greater part of the time it was in session. It added no little to tho novelty of thc occasion, that there should bo present a-milita ty officer, authorized by the Govern? ment of tho United States, to watch the proceedings of tho Court of a so? vereign State." One country may swallow up an? other's nationality and not get fat upon it either.- National Republican. Yes. We think we know of one country which has performed this feat with the result hinted at. A Washington despatch says: The eily is at present crowded with South? erners, and every day brings a num? ber of fresh arrivals. A number of Southern ladies have also arrived. I"if tone of Washington society is becoming gradually Sonthernized. BLOCKADE RUNNING.-The Loudon | Mercantile Gazelle publishes some re? markable statistics relating to the blockade running trude "which was curried on during thc American war. Nassau, iu the Bahamas, was the chief port whence this trade was car? ried on, and in consequence the im? ports at that place rose from ?234,020 in 18G0 to .?5,310,112 in 1864, and tho exports from ?157,350 to ?5,G73,398 -an increase that must be without parallel in the history of commerce. Cotton was thc chief staple of this ti'ade, and figures for nearly four millions in both the imports and ex? ports during the war. 101 ships con? nected with the blockade running trade entered Nassau; 102 of these made; successsul voyages; '?ut by far tho greater number (71) made not more than two voyages. As thc blockade continued, ami the distress of the South increased, thc value of thc cargoes became enhanced, and owing to the greater vigilance of the Federal cruisers, tho expense of these expeditions was much increased; so that, toward thc end of the war, tin; captain of a blockade runner would bo paid ?1,000 for one voyage, with the right to carry ten bales of cotton on his own account. THE CATHOLIC PLENABT COUNCIL. The New York Tribune publishes a translation of two Latin letters of Cardinal Barn abo, Prefect td' the Propaganda at Borne, addressed to Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, in reference to the council now in session. The Pope calls the attention of the Bishops to tin; necessity of ex? ercising great caution in receiving strange priests; only those who can bring undoubted testimony of their virtue and learning should be accept" ed. Attention is called to the neces? sity of settling tho various questions concerning the number of festivals and fasts observed by tho church, and. measures are requested to be taken to put an end to disputes re? lating to church property, so that neither the rights of the church nor of the regular orders be infringed upon. The recommendations con? clude as follows: "Finally, it is the wish of thc Sa? cred Congregation that the Bishops of the United States, in fulfillment of the charge which has been entrusted to them of feeding the Lord's flock, should consult together respecting some uniform method of providing for the salvation und Christian edu? cation of the emancipated blacks. This question has been brought up, and it is one,'indeed, of the first ne? cessity, and unless they speedily take action of it, and gather this great harvest into the Lord's granary, this people will sutler irreparable injury from the wiles and cupidity of tho enemy." GEN. SHERMAN'S APPOINTMENT. The Bichmond Times says: We all recollect the generous terms offered to the South by him in his convention with Cien. Johnston. Had that convention been carried out, the country might have escaped the troubles that are now threaten? ing. Peace would have, ere now, spread its wings over our distracted land, and we might have, been a united people. Wc feel, however, assured that Cen. Sherman will do all in his power to forward and carry? out the generous and hinmane plan of the President for the restoration of the Union in its entirety. As we have said, he is eminently conserva? tive in his views, au old army man, and a respecter of tho laws. The conservatives of the North, who are now gallantly battling to save ns from the torch and turpentine party, will hail his advent in the Cabinet with joy. The radicals will find Gen. Sherman a dangerous man to trifle with. "THE REBEL DEBT."-The World says: "The radicals are making a great noise about a rebel debt. We should like to know with what course of reasoning they make out that there is any such thing as a rebel debt. The bonds issued by those who tried to establish tho Southern Confederacy were made payable one year after the independence of the Confederate States was recognized hy? the United States. There is, there? fore, no such thing as a rebel debt, and cannot possibly be any to pay, unless tho radicals intend to recog? nize the independence of Jell". Davis' exploded Government." TEXAS.- Mr. McGary, lately the editor of the Bren ham Banner, has obtained judgment before the District Court at Brenham, for $50,000 da? mages, against Capt. Craig and Cen. Kiddoo, of the Freedmen's Bureau, for false imprisonment. Neither of the defendants appeared in court, nor filed pleas, and the judgment was rendered by default. John Thuro, of New Orfeans, one of the passengers of the ill-fated ves suj, Evening Star, bought a policy for $10,000 iu the Accidental insurance Company, for which he paid $10. Tin- i>in- of uti Emperor. Tho importance of thc Emperor Napoleon as a power in the European system, is seen in the profound anxiety that is everywhere exhibited concerning his health. It is not merely on the Paris Bourse that every rumor produces a marked effect; but from England to Kassia every Go? vernment is as greatly exercised about the matter as if their fortunes depended upon il. The entente cordiale and the alliance between France and England was thc individual con? ception and personal work of the Emperor; and though the entente cordiale is now cemented by enduring commercial treaties and by sti-ong and profitable interests, yet it is felt to be, more reliable while ho lives than it is likely lo be among the political uncertainties that may follow his death. The interest of Italy in the ques? tion does not spring merely from the fact that to him in great measure the kingdom owes its being, nor to the fact that he raised his shield for her protection in the perils that environed her four mouths ago, but to the fact that she has a guaranteed existence so long as she shall last, and whether, \ when .'ie shall have passed away, she will have as trustworthy a friend in France, is dependent upon so many contingencies, that the matter may well be cause for anxiety. The Pope has so long boen dependent upon thc Eldest Son of the Church, and the other spiritual children of the Holy Father are of so weak or unreliable a character, that Pius IX may well bei perturbed in view of danger to Napoleon's life. The Emperor, it is true, lias withdrawn his guardian army from Borne; but lie still furnishes protection to the Pope, and as long as the former lives, the latter is seenre from bad treatment. It would be wicked in Prussia not to pray for Napoleon's health, lb; guided French sentiment and French policy so discreetly during the late Prusso-Anstrian war, and lias main? tained snell a pacific attitude, and uttered such generous sentiments towards Prussia since its close, that tin: latter power could neither ask nor hope for anything better. How greatly the course of events has been influenced by Napoleon personally is known to all students of the times; and we are sure there is reason for doubting that events would have taken tho same desirable direction had any other man, Orlean ist or Libera], been at the head of affairs. Austria and Prussia would have the least to care about Napo? leon's death. With both of theso powers he has been at war, and both of them succumbed, humiliated and defeated, before his arms. ? lu any event. France can do no more da? mage to Austria; and as for Prussia, she would have a better chance to work out ber destiny if this wily ene? my, who can control the power of both France, and England against t he Czar, were out of the way. On this continent the Emperor's life has no political value. Without, Louis Na? poleon, the French army would never have entered Mexico; but whether ho. live or die, it will assuredly soon withdraw from that country. The event will not be effected by Iiis health, nor delayed by his personal fortunes.-New York Times. THE BLACK AND TANS.-The tra? veling delegation from the black and tan convention, known as Southern loyalists, have issued, or are about to issue, an address to the people of the United States, in which the recom? mendation is made that the Govern? ments of the Southern States shall be abolished, and new ones organized upon the basis of negro sxiffrage. These contemptible knaves, knowing that they have no chance of getting the. votes of white men, probably ima? gine that it they can get the right of suffrage conferred upon the negroes, they will have; a reasonable show for public office. This is the whole secret of their scheme. They want the pre? sent State Governments broken up, so that vacancies in the State and Federal offices will be created imme? diately, and the right of suffrage for the negroes, so that they may be elected to fill them. Thev seem to be possessed with the delusion that if the negroes are allowed to vote, they will certainly vote for them, but it might happen that they would find themselves mistaken. It does not necessarily follow that because a ne? gro can vote, that he will prefer a dis? honest and radical knave to a reputa? ble man. The majority of negroes, in respect to morality and decency, have a very decided advantage over any of the so-called Southern loyal? ists. Indeed, it is not unlikely that they would take one of their own number in preference. Ofcoursc,-no respectable negro would vote for one of these loyalists, and the negro voles would, therefore, in all eases, be east for some decent white man or intelligent darkey. Thc loyalists are counting their chickens before they are hatched. Their scheme will not, do, as tliey will surely find, if the ex? periment they propose is made. I Louisville Courier. Tho Herald's correspondent from Pera, near Constantinople, Septem? ber 10, announces the completion of tine purchase of the Island of Milo, a most important naval station in the Grecian Archipelago, by the United States Government, and details, ut lin; same time, the positive interests which tho American people have in the progress and solving of the East? ern question. TURKEY AND I TI IE GREAT CARVERS. Tho condition of Turkey, with thc discontent of Jicr Syrian, Armenian and Greek subjects in (yandia, is about to engage the attention of thc great ruling statesmen in Europe. This seems to have become a neces? sity, and under it the speculations ? about the misunderstanding between Napoleon and Bismarck are likely to bo dissipated. These astute states? men arc coining together, it seems, on the Turkish subject. Thc French Emperor has gone to Biarritz, a sea? bathing resort in South-west France, and Bismarck has engaged rooms there. Nor is this all. Gortscha koli, thc Russian Prime Minister, will bc there, in company witli? rep? resentatives from the House of Haps? burg, the object being, it is said, to have a consultation over thc condi? tion of Turkey. The so-called poli? tical necessities of Europe have led to the bolstering up of tho Ottoman Forte long after it has lost the power of self-maintenance. But for the countenance of European sovereigns it is questionable whether Turkey could maintain itself a day against internal dissension or foreign assault. Tho unification of the nationalities is a doctrine to which thc great states? men have commited themselves* and under it the aspirations of the (?reeks, for national unity, is a thing which should logically follow. NEWS FROM SOUTH-WEST.--Further investigations made here into tho Lowenthal forgeries establish clearly his guilt, as well as that of promi i neut Washington paymasters. Mr. Blow lias just made an afli davit setting forth other transactions of an astonishing character. The paymasters here are not at all mixed up in tho swindles, but rumor says one or two staff officers may lose their straps unless they can show how tiny obtained several of Lowenthal's cheeks found in their poscssion. Since, tho recout elections the tone I of the Southern press is very violent j against Congress, especially those who before seemed to look upon the constitutional amendment with a little favor. Tin1 Times declares that Louisiana will not. ratify it. The general idea is that. President John? son wili stand by Iiis policy, bo im? peached, and that civil war will en? sue. Stories telegraphed North about secret societies to renew the rebel? lion arc all bosh-mere election ca? nards. How THE Tn i so WORKS.-Quite a number of Northern men have pur ohased land in Florida, and have planted and made good crops of cot? ton. Tin; time for shipment is ap? proaching, and that three cents per pound makes t]iem screw their shoulders, shake their heads and say some pretty hard things. They arc j commencing to feel what we have i felt and became accustomed to long \ since -that is, oppression. Some j have been honest enough to confess i that they carno here radicals, but I have declared war against that party : forever. The dedicate touch which i their pockets have received have con ! verted them.-Florida Nieto Fra. BATHER HARD.-A Tallahassee pa? per relates: A gentleman from an adjoining County came to this city, one day last week, to enter some land, when he discovered that the land be wanted to cuter belonged to the United States. Upon application to tho proper officer, he was asked, after many other questions, if hoover took up arms against the United States Government, and, answering in tho affirmative, was told that lie could not enter land. Tho American Freedmen's Union Commission has concluded its session at Baltimore. The report of the General Secretary showed that the i Commission has sustained, during I thc last year, 700 preachers, main? tained DU] schools, and distributed $500,000 in supplies, and that its or? ganization extended into nearly every ! State, North and South. Chief Jus? tice Chase was elected President of I the Commission, and has accepted the j position. Tho B?llalo Courier relates: "As General Sherman, recently, was step? ping on the ears to leave Toronto, to him comes an energetic, mutton chopped reporter for a Toronto paper, and whipping out pencil and note? book, says, 'General Sherman, will you 'ave the kindness to give mo your views h'on thc Fenian question V 'Go to-,' said Tecumseh, as he stepped on the train and left the re? porter to meditate over his blasted item." CONFED?RATE CEMETERIES ATFOTNT LOOKOUT.-A Washington telegram says that, under the supervision of tho Quartermaster's Department, ground is being broken at Point Lookout for two cemeteries for the interment of the remains of Confede? rate soldiers who died at that place during tho war, and one for thc1 re? mains of Union soldiers. The Salisbury (N. C.) Union Jian ner declares . that there is a secret ? political association in its part of the State. The organization has its so? lemn oath of secrecy, and all who refuse to join it arc denounced as disloyal. The Agricultural Department have reports from various parts of thc country, establishing tho fact that, notwithstanding the recent heavy rains and early frosts, there will be the hu gest corn crop ever produced in America A number of sudden deaths have recently taken place at Annapolis, caused by imprudence in the use of raw oysters, which thc late rains in < that section have rendered unwhole- 1 some. At the instance of eminent , physicians, the corporate authorities ; have forbidden the bringing or offer- , ing for sale of oysters until the 1st day of November next. A Baltimore correspondent of thc ? Philadelphia J'ns* says: 1 "My solemn belief is that Andrew < Johnson will semi the regular troops ] into Baltimore tv> sustain Swann if i the attempt of tho latter to remove : tho Police Commissioners if resisted ] by the people, as resisted it will bc. ? In that event, let the North be prc- < pared. Let Pennsylvania be ready!" , The Bichmond Whig is offered for salo to terminate the existing part? nership in the paper, the. number of 1 partners having been recently very ' much increased by tin: death of Mr. Thomas M. Boudrovant, whose heirs ' succeeded to his interest. Next to ( the Enquirer tin; Whig is the oldest > paper in Richmond. : At the Baltimore municipal elec- 1 tion, held on thelOth, there were cast ' for Mayor 7,070 voles, of which Chapman, Republican, received 5,- ! 405, and Harvey, conservative, 2,574. . The aggregate vote for Mayor, in i 18G4, was 14,577; in 1$G2, 10,270; in i 18(50, between 26,000 and 27,000. TH REATEN Kl)lt RTA I.

Tin: NEW YO UK NEWS.-A special 1 despatch says Ben. Wood's paper hos been thrown back upon his hands by : tho late purchaser. It failed to sell ; as*a daily police gazette, and bas col? lapsed. An effort is making to buy it up and place Hiram Calkins, late of thc Herald, at its head. Bishop Farly, of Virginia, is still i suffering from tho effects of his se? vere accident. He has not been able to leave his house for several weeks, on account, of rheumatism in the shoulder which was hurt so badly during the summer. The Board of Health in New York have given notice that peril still exists in that city to the public health, and the special powers of the Metropoli? tan Board of Health have been con? tinued to the 1st of December. Among the passengers on tho ill fated steamer, Evening Star, was ! Wylde Harding, of the late Confedc I rate ship Shenandoah. He was thc husband of Belle Boyd, who is now in New York city. Thc Yarmouth (Mass.) Register says the heavy frost on some parts of the Cape, on Friday night of last week, has occasioned a severe loss to tho cranberry crop, some estimating it as high as 8100,000. Colt's Arms Manufacturing Compa? ny, at Hartford, have au order for manufacturing 1,000 Prussian needle j guns, and 100 Catlin's patent revolv? ing cannons, at a cost of Si,000,000. Two English gun-boats had a lively fight with twenty-two Chinese pirati? cal junks near Quang-chow-wang, and knocked them into smithereens. A blue button mzr* ?ar?p xsmn killed. Mrs. Cunningham, notorious in connection with the Burdell murder, a few years since, was lost on the steamer Evening Star. The post office at Five Mile, in Bickens District, has been re-opened, with Mrs. Mahala Thompson as post? mistress. 3,000 famine victims daily become food for the jackal and the vulture in the lonely jungles of India. Mr. Burleigh, the conservative candidate, is elected delegate to Con? gress from the Territory of Dakota. Why is the endorser of a note called a'surety? Because he is almost sure to have tu pay it. The. London Times predicts another civil war in America. IN MEMORIAM.
