THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, af-ter
a long discussion, has passed the Low-er
House of the Massachusetts Legislature
by a vote < f 120 to 20. The negative votes
were extreme Republicans, including the
one. An occasional, temperate and manly col0red member of the House, who made
discussion ofthe situation, upon the part a iong ppeech in opposition to the amend-of
the friends of law, quiet and good gov- ment
eminent, is perhaps best in itself, and, in •
reality, is all that is required. The York>•Hie Enquirer, speaking of
South Carolina Treasury Notes, says :
" State money now can scarcely be pas-sed
at all in Columbia; and when it is ta-ken
it is reckoned at seventy cents in the
dollar."
This is owing to the recent legislation

of affairs :
" There is no need to give up an atom

knows that he will find in the Fortieth Con-gress
a hostility more implacable than in the
Thirty-Ninth : but it seems to us that it is his
duty to face it, to execute {he laws while not
yielding to any compromise and to keep unsul-lied
the honor of his name in suffering every-thing
rather than to betray and »ell his con-science,
and break under tho arbitrary authority

As to the Soutfc, .wc cannot approve those who
like Messrs Iievttdy Johnson, and Brown advUe
the people to accept the humiliating conditions
which are offered to them : they are con-quered,
but their honor is safe: and it is tluir
honor that Congress demand- from them with-out
giving them even an advantage or any guar-antee.
Wedo not likewise approve those who ad-vise
an excitement and a resistance as powerless
as useless. We prefer the advice given by " LA
RENAISSANCE LhblsiANAiss'' and by the paper
of admiral Seemen, the most complete passivity.
Any complaint would be vain. Let the South
give way to Congress, let its inhabitants, as far
as practicable, work to renew their lost prosper-ity
and destroyed wealth. Not that we desire to
see the Southern people to waste and lose every
noble feeling of independence in purely material
cares, but let them wait; let them have patience
and give time to the Northern Radicals to wear
out by their own excesses ; let the South oppose
oniy abstention and an unconquerable force of
inertia to the degradation which is propceed to
them The reaction will come from the North
itself, and then will strike for the South ll.e
hour ofjustice and.rehabilitation.
The happiest thing which could happen to the
Thirty-Ninth ( ongress is to be succeeded by the
Fortieth. The execrable name whkfa the Thir-ty-
Ninth will rightly leave in history will per-haps
be lessened by the excesses which wo may ex.

exception of the spring freshet ot 1865,
when it rose above the bridge at Blount's
Creek Factory, and inundated the yards

so far as we have learned, this high
water has been unattended by the usual
damage along the banks of the river, as
the season is not sufficiently advanced for
the risk of great injury to stock and pro-duce.

THE NORTHCAROLINA SOLDIERS.
LEE AND BISCAMPAIGHS—MX'Af.E.
We had dismissed this work with a brief
notice of its failure to meet the require-ments
of the subject, but recur to it in il-lusion
to an error of the author which is
calling forth merited complaint from many
jouvnals throughout the South.
In the description of the battle Gettys-burg,
glaringly inaccurate in many parti-culars,
on page 401 occurs a slur upon
North Carolina troops wholly unsuppor-ted
by facts. "Heth's division," says the
writer, "was made up principally of con-scripts
from North Carolina,"' and agaui
"I'eltK rew's division broke in dismay and
fled from the field, leaving two thousand
prisoners and fifteen standards in the
hands of the Union army." Of these mis-si.
iemeiUs wh:ch are coupled with offen-sive
comparisons of the action of l'ickett's
Virginian*, The llcleigh Sentinel says,
that ii. docs not charge upon Mr. McCabe
willihl injustice, bet that an author is
ecjivlly condemned as unfit for his task by
wo. king on insumcii nt and unreliable ma-terials,
as he would be by their intention
al perversion. This i« true and our Vir-
' Desultory discussions on manures, ghiia pride aaseria that Pieketl's men will

tfec, wereengaged in by each mem-ber.
Unlike most Soci ties, there was no
speech making, but it was a social meeting
of Farmers for a conversational inter-change
of opinions, to which each member
contributed."
THE STAY LAW.—Judge Fowl-, as well
Iespi»e such trumpeter of their lame as he
who wo-.'ld heighten it by detracting from
the blood-earned reputations of those
comrades who proved their gallantry and
very ditch of the opposing works, aod on-ly
fell back when, crushed and decimated,
there was only one choice between retreat
or capture.
This is no fancy sketch, drawn, as the
historian's, from newspaper accounts, or
meagre reports; it is the unvarnished nar-rative
ot an eye-witness, of one who is a
Virginian, who belonged to neither of the
commands he attempts todelend, and who
will not yield, even to Mr. McCabe, in
proud appreciation of the heroism dis-played
that day by Piekctt and his Vir-ginia
braves. Let jusiice lie done.

Barrittger at Reams' Station, and how, tin-ally,
they surrendered as many muskets as
any other Stale at Appomattox, and the
honest inquirer must repeat the verdict
we have lormed: The North Carolina
soldiers had no superiors in that "incom-parably

Virginia.
THE NATIONAL CREDIT.-—The Preai-dent's
reported conversation, a few days
ago, on the national indenter'ness and the
tendency to repudiation, has produced
quite a stir in political and financial circles
North. Forney, unable otherwise to an-swer
the suggestive line of remark pur-sued
by the President, insists that the con-versation
shall be made a count in the im-peachment
bill. The X. Y. Hi raid thinks
that the next excitement and a new basis
for party organization will be ihe financial
question The N. Y. Tiiiim shows Ha own
alarm, and furnishes reason for that of the
public, by pointing to the fact that enor-mous
as the debt now is it must soon be
increased at least a hundred per cent.—
Spesking of the claims ol' " loyal men" for
compensation for losses dm ing the war,
The Times remarks : " We have very-good
reason to believe that the amount of
such of these claims as will be found to be
perfectly just, and such as must be paid,
will approach very ntariy. if it do not
equal, what in understoodto be the present
aggregate of the national debt." It adds :
"The bounty bill of 1886 added about
eighty millions. Another is under way
which will add from two to four hundred
millions more. Mr. Sclienck says this bill
will do " to begin with," and General
Banks pledges himself to vote for whatev-er
sum the soldiers want—he docs not
care whether it is (our or eight millions of
dollars. Mr. Williams, of I'eiinsylvania,
has presented another, and Mr. l'erham,
of Maine, still another bill of the same
sori." In addition to these bills, there is
another to pay out of the national treasmy
all debts incurred by States and counties in
raising troops. It is' " pretty certain,'" 7V«c

Where the accuratehistorian obtained this
is not valid, therefore, we would state tor
the information of parties who have been
sued to the approaching term in actions
for debt, that under the operations of the
ordinances of the Convention, as applied
by Judge F., they will be required to pay
one tenth of the principal and interest,
and all costs to date, at the first term, and
the ease continued for twelve months
without any judgment. At the end of
said twelvemonths, debtors may pay one-fifth
and get twelve months more, and so
on; but if they fail to pay the one-fifth
they may plead and keep offjudgment

add five hundred millions to the national

STATE CONVENTION.—The purpose of
the Congress to place the entire nr+para-tion
for, and the inauguration of, the pro-posed
State Conventions into the hands
of the District Commanders, makes it
plain, that all movements, on the part ol
the people of the Legislatures of the
Suite to initiate measures, previous to the
orders of the military authorities, are pre-mature.
Movements, (specially, on the
part of those who are disfranchised by the
Reconstruction Aet itself, cannot be con
stmed otherwise than as officious and un-becoming,
and deserving of rebuke. We
believe that the law should lie strict iy con-formed
to and in all respects, and that it1-
objects, as plainly set forth in the act,
should be faithfully carried oat It Btriln s
us, therefore, that it is improper for any
one to move actively in the matter until
the Commanding General issues his orders
in regard to the Convention. It is impor-tant
that all the people, of all classes and
both races, be fully informed <d their d it)
and of the demands of the law, but all el-ectioneering
schemes and projects should
be held in abeyance to the proclamation
of the District Commander. A contrary
course is well calculated to produce a pro-tracted
exciti ment or canvass, which will
seriously interfere with the production of
the approaching crop, which is absolutely
essential to the comfort find lives of our
people, as well as the peace of society.-
