Captain llockley, who usually sits at the head of one taMo, would have blushed if possible, but his rubicund face is itself the concentration of a thousand blushes, so he just left in apparent disgust. My gentlonsan's speech was net interrupted by this silent rebuke, but he continued. In a most ridiculous strain, laudatory of servants, chambermaids, boots and all; when, to "cap the climax" of general disgust, be began to praise the ladiet at the tables. One remark which he made I must write down, as a specimen of his elegant diction. " Tis true," he said, addressing the opposite table, M that you can boast of a larger number of ladles at your table over th?r%\ but the few we have at oar table are bmlly."? This, of course, brought down the house. Ho was maah laughed about, aed I was told that angry words were exchanged after dinner. e'cloek, P.

Baturdav, July 13th.?Liverpool.?We were compelled to leafO the ship last night without regard to the lateness of the hour, and It was twelve o'clock when we stopped on the Prinoe's landing stairs.

To all who have taken the Amnesty Oath Li-ok C?eek. 8. C., Sept. 27.1867. Oentleinen?As a citizen of Greenville District, ami the State of South Carolina, and in prospect of the expected election which is to determine the question whether we shall live under a government controlled by wisdom, education and experience, or one eontrolled by ignoranee, vise end superstition, and proferiing a good govern luent to a bad one, I am induced to addrcsa yon this article, catling forth, in one point of view, reasons why I csn't support the changes proposed in the organic law of i our State. Those reasons I submit to the calm, considerate reflection of every man in this District, who has taken the Amnesty Oath. If they ere sound, there is but one Question for oa?l? nf >? t? US. ult; that ia?" What i* in conformity with the obligation* of my oath f" And in order (h?t we may the better understand ite obligations, { herewith robmit a copy of the one which I have taken, and in eompliancc with which I pen theee linea: " lleadqnarter'H United States Force*, k No. 1488. l'mvost Marshall's Office, > Greenville, 8. 0., Aug. 3d, 1805. ) 1, A. C. Stepp, do solemnly swear, in presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Union of the Slates thereunder, and that I will in like manner abide by, and faltlafuly support, all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves. So help me Cod." I have here taken a solemn oath, in the name of Almighty God, and appealed to lilm for Ilia b?-|p, that I would, from lla date, 14 henceforth faithfully anpporl and d*? fend the OonMilntion of the United S'atea, and the Union of the State* thereunder."? This oath obligates me to faithfully support tba Constitution as it was tha 8d day of August, 18*5 It also, binds me to faith fully support and dafead, tha Union of the State* under Ahia Constitution, and this the enly Const it ut loo that I aspect to faithfully support and defend, i did not then swear that I would aeoept amendments to this instrument making especial provision for ne l-u in ?g-p nur uo > now reel toil 11 ta any part of my duly to do to. I am sworn to defend the Union of the States nnder t Constitution that has made no provision for negro yiffVage. litis is all Ihst I ask.? Olrs us a Union under the Constitution that our forefathers fought and Med, under Washington, to seenre, and the Constitution that lhair eons bled, under JaeksoVi, Boo It and Taylor, to defend. Nov. I can't speak tor othera, t?ut it seems as alaar as the light of noon-day to me, that if I were to vote for negro suffrage, or tha measures of tba Congressional Military Bill, I should vio late my solemn oatli liefore Cod. Because, from tha rery fsea of this Bill itself, It is evidently the intention of Congress not to re*tore the Union under the Cooetltution, but under an aspaeial artlela that la not yet and never may he, any part of the Constitution of tha Unitad States. In Section & of tha Aet passed Marsh 3d, 1867, It reads, " and when the raid State by a vote of its Legislature, elecwd under srid Constitution," (that is, sleeted under the new State Constitution ) " shall have adopted the amendment to the Constitution of the United Statm, proposed by the Thirty-ninth Congress, and known as Article fourteen, an I when eaid ar title eMail ha* become a part nf the Constitution of the United Matte, u i tfpfe n ?II > .? IXPTJL.A_I1 CAROLINA. OCTOBER 9. Slate shall be declared entitled to representation in Congress." Ac. What ia the ?sprclal provision of Congress here? Ia it not that certain States, declared out of the Union, roust make an amendment proposed by the Thirty-ninth Congress a part of the Constitution, while these Slates themselves are still out of tho Union, before the) can be even declared entitled to representation in Congress? I know that the common belief Is, wo've only to eomply with the terms of Congress, and we will be at onee admitted into the Union again ; but sueli opinion ie delusive. Suppose that the ten excluded States oomply with all the terme laid down in tbsaa Congressional Acta, and a sufficiency of the other Slalea do not ratify thla Amend raent to amount to two-thirds of all the Stales, what then ? Why, the propoesd "Amendment" has not " become a part of the Constitution," and consequently, the tea Statee still stand shivering in the cold, and cannot even " be declared entitled to representation in Congress.1* For instance, 8outh Carolina, upon her part, may eomply with all the requirements of these Acts, and yet from the vary Aeta themselves, never be admitted Into the Union again, for the simple reason that a number of States al ready in the Union may deem it unwise to make this Amendment a part of the Constitution of the United States. Can any man, then, who votes for sueh measures as these, say that ha ia faithfully supporting the Constitution, and the Union of the States the- sunder ? But, again: To be faithful to tha Constitution, I must oppose everything that Is of doubtful constitutionality; for faithfulness must cease, where ? !? rr.L . - uvuu> unumft ii uin provisions 01 m# Military Dill arc not clearly constitutional, every man who haa taken the aliove oath to faithfully atipport, and defend the Union of the Statee under tho Constitution, that volea them, peijures himself, whether he deairee it or not. What are the faetein the case. Why, the Executive officer of the nation has declared the whole tiling unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court line left the question in douht ; we are, therefore, as sworn constitutionalists, b<>uu<l to oppose tlio provisions of this Bill. We can't faithfully support the Constitution, and the Union of the States thereunder, unless we adhere strictly, honestly and sincerely, to this Instrument, without the l?-*st ahadow of defect, fraud, triek or ambiguity. We hear it eaid, however, " we have no rights." I answer, wo do havo righU; every man who haa taken the Amnesty Oath has rights under the Constitution. The law of nations, and of justioi, too, make* it the doty of every sovereign to carry out in good faith, ell the prorata**, that lie may have made to hia subjects, while tbey were in a state of rebellion against his authority. Now, the sovereign powers of the United Slates?that is, both Houses of Congress by a joint resolution and the Prraident by Proclamation?promise.! peace to the State* in rebellion, and their places in Congress, with their internal rights unimpaired, upon condition they would lay down their arms and return to the Union under I lie Consti. tution. And it is foliv and madness for-us to seek shell, r in Union League-*, on any thing else short of the protecting of the Con* slitutional safeguards to citizenship. The Couatitution',embrac?? two items in reference to every individual citizen; it imposes certain obligations, and, In return, guarantees protection to the enjoyme-it of certain rights and privileges We inu*t faithfully perform the conditions of these obligations, and then as faithfully claim the enjoyment ol the rights and liberties whieh It guarantees. It makes no provision for demanding a performance of the dutie*, without granting its liberties It is a fact, beyond doubt, howevar, that as soon as we dspart from the Constitution, we lose all right to claim its protective blessings. Every man, therefore, who has taken the oath to the Constitution, should bs ons of the most loyal men in the Government, not loyal to Union Leagues end negro eqnelity, but what I* letter, loyal to the fundamental law ot the nation. Is a solemn oath in the name of Qod nothing f ts it like straws, to be thrown to the winds? If not, we ere bonnd to eltng to the Constitution and the Union thereunder, life end property to the contrary notwithstanding. I haven't lost hope In tha power of tlio Constitution to ?*? the nation. Already ie lie might bo. ginning to be felt with telling effect in the great North-Wot, and aloug the golden horea of the Pacific. Radicalism baa been defeated in the State of California, and ie at the preaent trembling, liko an autumn leaf beneath the wind, ia the great Stale of Ohio. I hear, deep in tho heart of the nation, a Oonetitntienal murmuring, eimitar to the muttering# of a volnanio mountain |>rerloua to an oruption, and although the liree mtjr for a time be aappreaaed, the blase will yet belch a flood of lava that shall bury Radicalism and Loyal Leagues deeper be* ueath its rolling wave# than the anoient eitiea of Pompeii and tiaroalaneum at the haae of Mount Vesuvius. The Conatitutlon moat form tha great magnet around whieh the American people, as ao many Iron filings, shall leap one after another, till they oonetilute one grand adhesive maee, that hall ?tand like tho everlasting rook* of Gibraltar, a permanent barrier against {all tha floods of despotism whieh may lash vh?dr wares around its base. To tuy personal itieuds, 1 woull say ' * * A. ' ESVE1NTT? 1867. have nothing to do with Loyal League*, aod every man who ia allowed to vote take the advice of Gov.

Go not suffer yourselves scared into that by the threats of confbeatton from Loyal Leagnere, that yon may L 1 - * ' " uav? uccas'uo vo regret the remainder of | your lives. Remember, that fear is a strong I principle of notion, but it is not, nt nil times, n safe one. It may require great oonrago to faee the storms that await us, but if us are true to ourselves, true to our ehildren, nnd faithful to our sworn duty, I believe that God will save our country.? Do not let ua g ve up all for loat Though the treo of our liberty seems at present to bs mouldering iu the dust, its roots are still living, and have fast hold lu ths soil of our hearts, whloh shall, one day, shoot forth a nsw stock, that will spread its branches throughout the length and breadth of this continent, beneath whose inviting shades, our sons and daughters may yst congregate and shout the songs of freedom.

Yours, most respectfully, A. O. STEIT. Taa London Time* if the 17th ult. says j " Tbe unhappy events In Jantaoa in Ootober, l&fii, have, at least, had this good effect?that tho horns government, as well as tho people of tbe Island, have felt bound to do soine'hing to roscuo tho eolony from tho social and commercial ruin into which it was falling. Without coloring again into the controversy which those events originated, It may be said that they brought more olearly before tho world tbe deterioration of tho island socioty, tho decay of agriculture and trade, the unfriendly relations of whites and blaoks, tho loglslative mismanagement, the financial rocklossness, ami the general impoverishment or all classes. We may l>o reconciled to what seems n constitutional retrogression by considering tlio social state of tills, the Queen of tho British West Indies. A noblo island of more than 0000 gtpiaro miles, possessing tbo most fertile land, One barbers, and a billy region of almost temperate climate amid tbo bents of tbe tropica, has been reduced by tho faults or tho misfortunes of tho inhabitants until its namo has bccomo a byword (or failure ami decay. Tbo ostatcs from whkh in olden times came Incomes which placed their possessors almost on a level with tho British peerage, arc now nearly worthless, and havo in many eases been ahandonod. The soil Is covered with woods and brushwood ; or tho negroes have taken possession of it, built their Lnts and planted their provision grounds. The whito population bus etcAdily diminished, and now consists, it is said, of not more than 13,000 souls, and of thoso comparatively fow arc persons of wealth and station, or largo owners of the soil. Those who can absent themselves spend their much diminished Incomes In Eng- 1 bind, loaving their estates to attorneys and managers, who have none of the social influence which belongs to the owners of the soil. In the meantime tbe negro raco bus increased until it is said to number more than 400,000, and from the small proportion of white pcoplo it has had Icsa advantages than in other regions. Tho negro is' an imitator, and if ho suet before him a fair model in a prosperous and well-conduetod white population he will work up to it, but if left to himself, his progress will be slow indeed. Kvery one agreed two years i that tbe state of the colony had become intolerable. Tbo Govoruor has found it neeossarr I to impose an extra bouse tax, and it la to (bis they especially object. The fact is, the island is on the verge of bankruptcy, and aau only bo J saved by lessening tho current expenses, and raising for a time the amount of rovenue drawn from the people. To spoild less and to pay | moro taxos are the principles on wliieh the budget of the island must be framed. It is a sad necessity, for tho people who must pay are ! fewer and poorer than they evor were. RlcauovD, Octobor 4. General Schoflold has issued an order prescribing tbe mode for election. The eivll police are to keep order. Polls are to be held responsible for disorder. Registering officers during election shall have tbe powers of the military commission. A registered voter arrested for any offvuoe election day, must be allowed to vote before taken to jail. In diss tricts of 600 voters, soperate places will be provided for whites and blaoks to vote. No candidate for the oonvention shall ufficiato as registering officer in the election. All liquor shops in the vioinity ef the polls to bo closed A sroar la told about (he late W.
