TUB NSW AMENDMENTS.-The Augusta
I It itf to bo regretted, however, that the
Democratic (State! Convention of^&Iaiy
lau.fcdid not?defld? ita ppsition as to the
validity of tbe new amendments. Il is
time there should be Ja consolidation.of
Southern opinion on this subject. There
are three sets of opinions among ns:
1. The opiniou 'thut tho fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments are nullities,
and Hbould be so treated, as also ali the
Congressional- ?cts passed to enforce
them, .whenever Jue JJ o moo ru tio pur ty
comes into power. "Uooonstitutiooul
acth, and ?Ter?thing that rests upon
shem, are not laws. They are nothing
bat nullities. Bo Mr. Jefferson and the
D?ajodraoy, in 1800, declared the alien,
?ud .e?ditton laws to bo." Wo'quote
from Jax. A..H. Stephens.
' 2. Those who recognize the fourteenth
and fifteenth, amendments as do facto
parts of the Constitution, declared BO
trader the formai .ol law providing for
amendments, and only to bo got rid of iu
tho same way. They aro valid to all in?
tents and purposes until formally re?
pealed.
They "were carried by bruto force, and
by frauds apon tho publia will, so glaring
as to take from' their anthon all claim to
oar respect. Bat we cannot ?leny that
they have actually become a part of the
Constitution; norean we avoid that fact,
nor get behind it, by Bhowing the cor?
rupt miaoobtldot of the mon who con?
trolled Copgroaa god mustered the State
L?gislatures. : Whosoever swear* to sup
pore the Constitution must perform all
that is ''nominated in the bond." "Any
change which experience aud reason
sholl prove to be desirable must be made
i - the proscribed wey, and not by revo?
lutionary and disorderly moans." We
quo to from the Pennsylvania State
Democratic Address. We give to thin
oor adhesion, as the true and only snfe
oourse.
o. Those who not only accept the new
amendment as valid parts of; tho Con?
stitution, bot oppose all agitation now,
or hereafter, for their-.repeal-who ac?
cept;.tho dsnc'rakory Acts of Congress
known as the Reconstruction Acts, as a
final settlement pf the questions they
dispose of, not to be repealed, con?
demned or discussed, bat to be treated
as dead issues. This is the new depart?
ure platform. So we interptot the se?
cond resolution of the series adopted iu
Ohio, which is as tallowa:
"That waiving all differences bf opi?
nion as to tho extraordinary menn? by
which tbjey were..brought about, we no.
oept the natural and legitimate resulte
of the - war, so far as' waged for its
ostensible purpose, to maintain the
Uui?u'?ii? the GO n slit s ti G r. ?J r i g !; t a ?nd

cluding tho t ' ne several nmendmeuU
defacto to the ! institution reoontly do
dared adopted, asa settlement, in faot,
of all the issues of'the war, and to nc
qn i eso o in the same as no longer issnei
before the country."
;, .This in a Quality to which the State?
most affected by the natural and legiti
mate reBults of the war are not pr?par?e
to subscribo. On the pretext of theil
hoing p?turai and legitimate .results, th?
States are soaghji to be ousted of theil
rightful jurisdiction of their own .oleo
tipos and ballot-boxes. Ou like\pretox
Congress has'assumed the right to pasi
disability Act?-;, test oaths and bills e
attainder-to destroy the independent:,
and prerogatives bf'the Supr?me Court
to nullify the privilege of the writ o
habeas corpus-to deprive tho'citizens o
the so-called reconstructed Status ?
nearly overy guarantee embraoed in tin
fi rut i - i amendments to tbeOonstitntioi
of the United States. The Presiden
bas ueeu endowed with almost supremi
military power over them-the liberty ?
the oittzen snbjeoted to his arbitrary wil
and the States themselves converted inb
military satrapies, aud subjected to th
rapacity of plundering carpet-bagger
and eeallawags, who bold their places b
bayobet elections ?(nd stuffed ballot
boxes. When the true people of tbos
States have occasion to anuounce a plat
form of issues they are willing to adop
in i a national contest, they will accep
no stich results "a's natural and legiti
mate.

times pust- arrogated, the championship
of-labor, and bavo fomented the prejb
dioes of their eeo tion and directed them
against the . people of the South as. con
temner? of labor abd laborers. Thia was
done upon pure ground* of demagogiitm
for political purposes, and was without
foundation, aa we know by Observation
and experience. . ID the moral oode of a
curtain class of men, "a lie well stuok to
ia an good as the truth," and this preju?
dice ?gaioat OS has been propagated with
an industry which can only bo accounted
tor by refereuoe to the axiom quoted.
Labor bas never boon deemed dis?
graceful at tho South. It is true that
the people have, as everywhere else in
the world, the Northern States of the
Union not excepted, always tried to get
along with the smallest amount of labor,
and thus to live as easily as praotioable.
Before the Into revolution, the circum?
stances of a largfo class of our people
were easy, sud - the necessity for labor
was not urgent on them, os upon the
people of lesa favored sections, snob, for
instance, as tho dwellers among the gra?
nit? hills of New England. Moreover,
field work tinder the warm sun during a
lung sumtuor is to the white mau some?
what harder to endure, tban tba same
kind of labor daring thu short Hummers
in Vermont or New York. And tbiB fact
may have de "eloped un appureutly grout?
er rep?gnanos to labor ou tho part of
the Southern people. Ail these conces?
sions wo uro ready to make. But when
it is said that wo are despisers of labor
and laborers perse, wo deny the charge.'
Al! over thu South in times of slaver;
was scattered a large ola*? of small furni?
ere, eaoh of whom owned a few slaven
with whom he worked, personally super?
intending their labor. This was a highly
respeoted class among us, and constitut?
ed what our political orators were accus?
tomed to cull, iu tbe language of oulogy,
"the bone and sinew of the country."
Among our wealthiest people there were
besides a grout roany who bad amassed
property by personal .industry. 'These
men, as a class, took a real pleasure in
recounting to tbe rising generation, tbe
story of their early toils and sueoeases.
We have known many young men in
good circumstances saut to college after
having served a few years at thu plow
bandies for the purpose o'. acQU<r:sg
physical vigor, and a practical knowledge
Of the pursuits they were expected to
follow. '. Tho idea that labor wac degrad?
ing never occurred to thean men. Not
only aro we accused of dishonoring labor
bat are represented as being in a ututo
bordering on anarchy. Y.-t tbe people
of this lawless region produced 3,81)0,000
balea of cotton last yt*ur, and an increas?
ed corn crop over tbe prodbctiou of the
year proviens-all this in spite of the
decrease and deterioration of our black
labor.: How are suoh results reconcil?
able with the hy po thesis that we are de
?piaerk of labor? Away 'with such per?
nicious falsehood. The suredt passport
to the respect of Southern society is a
conran of honest, industry, li A despiser
of labor here would be regarded as near?

rary and scientific, vas luurt'ored by be
?5** throv.'i; from thc **l"t?crm of a ca? on
.the ?uion Puciuo . B*ai|road, at Cape
Horn. ' A San Francisco lawyer, of ex?
cellent repute, named Le?nidas Parker,
being the only person on tho platform
with him at tho time, suspicion was di?
rected against him, and he was arrested
as being tho perpetrator of the crime.
Twice tried, he was both timos mysteri?
ously acquitted.
This Parker bas recently died, and, as
Ss said, has loft a written statement, in
which, while acknowledging that he did
kill Summerfield, be explains wherefore.
He says that a short time before the
death of Summerfield, that person, who
waa known as "The Man with a Secret,"
carno into bis office in San Francisco
and told him, with the fire of the dis?
coverer ia his eye, that he had fathomed
the great secret of making water burn.
He had discovered a preparation of po?
tassium which would separate the parti?
cles and ignite the liberated oxygen,
thus creating and recreating its own
force, and so consuming until all thc
particles were destroyed. For the pos?
session of this secret ho demanded the
sum of 81,000,000, to be raised in Snn
Francisco, under the peualty, otherwise,
of the destruction of the world by his
setting fire to the Pacific Ocean. ,
Porker at first thought the mau a
lunatic, but upon the trial of ono of his
potassium pills iu a basin of water in his
office, he suw, to his surprise, that by its
iuflueuee the water was changed into a
liquid that blazed to tho ceiling uutil it
wus consumed. He imparted his disco?
very of this dreadful compound to seve?
ral gentlemen of San Francisco-a lead?
ing banker, a bishop, a chemist, two
State University professors, u physician,
a jadge, and two Protestant divines,
who, with himself, witnessed the experi?
ment on a grand scale in a mountain lake
ten miles from San Francisco, the waters
of whiob, in fifteen minutes, wore entire?
ly consumed. Summerfield growing
importunate, the committee became
alarmed. Ho demanded the money, and
finally, as a last resort, it was determined
th destroy Mia man who hold the fate of
the world in his hands. Parker, who
knew the gorges and windings of the
Pacific Railroad, was chosen as his'exe?
cutioner. Summerfield was decoyed by
Parker to the spot, and hence the tra
gedy, Tn tho conclusion of hie docu?
ment, he says: "I selected Capo Horn as
tbe best adapted to the purpose, and *
* * tho public know? tho rest. Hav?
ing been fully acquitted by two tribunals
of tho law, I make this final appeal to
my fellow-men throughout tho State,
end ask them confidently not to reverse
the judgment already pronounced." To
this mysterious and dramatic affair, but
ono fact remains to be added. Parker
hiUBelf died insane, just after writing bis
statement, a victim to newspaper com?
ments upon bis connection with the ex?
traordinary case of Summerfield.

him first, and, according to the Times,
here he is:
"We on ca know a private in tho Gon
