rh Sontlt le Constitutional
from the Timet.
Our lutillipcnce from the Southern States
Phows that an effort will bo made to army the
Southern people gainst the Constitutional
amendment upon a point of honor. Wade
Hampton's specb was an effort In thl direction.
Governor Humphreys' messago to the Legisla
ture of MifBihslppI, of which we gave a full
uynoptls by telegraph, appeals to the same sen
timent, and aima to produce the same result.
And our correspondents In the South write thai
the general sentiment ot the people is Hostile U
the amendment, because tbey think it is calcu
lated to humiliate and deffrado them.
We shall regret it most profoundly, If these
efforts sbould prove succcssiu). Nothing, la our
judgment, coulJ be more disastroiis.to the whole
country, Kiid especially to the Southern States,
than such a result. Thy are nucrllieinir their
ubelt.ntial Interests to a liiNo Idea ol their own
dignity nnd honor. They are repuatlnR the very
mistake which drapeod tbeui into the Rebellion
and overwhelmed them in ruin. Wade Hamp
ton is the very last inaa whose advice they can
atlord to lollow, tor ho is a type of the very clan
whore advice betrayed them to tbelr ruin. The
Southern people were jmade to believe, by htm
and others like him, that their honor was at
stake, that tney were Insulted bv the National
Government, and tliai 6elt re?pect forbade ttiilr
submission. They had no injury to complain
ol i they cbuld point to no tangible and positive
wrong they had sutl'ered; but their honor would
not permit them to submit longer to the control
ot the National Government. And under this
false and fatal advice they plunged into rebel
lion, with the result they have now so much
reason to deplore.
They are in danger of repeating this blun
der, witti the same disastrous results. They are
ery like-y again to sacrifice their substantial
interests to a false Idea ot "ctiivalry." Wade
Hampton, in his speech, longs lor ttie counsel
ana advice ot the Khetts and the Yanceys and
the old lenders of the South, and deplores their
loss. Nothing could be more fatal to the
Houtu than the return ot such men, and such
sentiments as theirs, to ascendancy. One woull
think the Southern people had sutlernd enough
at their hands, and tnat they would now bo
ready to consult their own interests, their sub
stantial welitire, rather than the passions and
resentments whicn these men always invoked.
Wade Hampton insists that Inline hate resto
ration to political poer was one of the terms
on which the houth capitulated. He re pre
pent the cessation of hostilisies, on the part of
the South as having been purchased by negoti
ation. The surreuder ot the Southern armies,
lie says, war the result of a compact the South
agreeing to surrender on condition of a full
amnesty and instant return to political power
in the Union and he now arraigns the Govern
ment (or its breach of taith. Nothing could be
more utterly uuiuiinded than this pretense nor
could anything be better'calculated to urouse
the intense hostility of the North than such a
claim. The South did not capitulate on condi
tions ol any sort. It surrendered because it
was unable longer to resist. Its armies could
no longer keep the held. They were utterly
deleatcd, and surrendered, as a matter of neces
sity, without political conditions or terms of
any sort. Both Grant and Sherman refused to
accept any but an unconditional aud absolute
surrender; and although both those great
leaders granted very liberal aud magnanimous
terms to the armies in toe held, it was not as
the price of surrender, nor did tbey enter into
any stipulation as to the political status of the
(southern States. If the South press this view
of the case, and insist upon political power as
bavins been pledged as tbe prico ot surrender,
their claim will be repudiated as arrogant and
lalse.
We agree that the Government stands pledge t
to recognize the Southern States as in the
Union; but the pledge was given to the loyal
States, and not to tbo-o in rebellion. It is due
to those who fought the battle of the Union,
that tbe pledge should be redeemed. And it the
South had abandoned the contest when these
declarations were first made, it would have nad
a strong claim to immediate recjgultion and
restoration to" power, lint it scouted and
Bcorncd them, aud it continuod the war just as
long as it could keep au army in the field.
When it was absolutely aud thoroughly con
quered, when its armies were de eated and
either killed or touted, when it was utterly im
f Osible to continue the war any longer, then,
and not till then it surrendered; but it is absurd
to claim credit for what it coulJ not help, and
demand a reward for laving down its arms after
they had been wrested lroin its hands.
If the Sou hern people propose to push their
claims in the temper evinced, anJ on the
grounds put forth by Wade Hampton in the
speech referred to, they will find tneir contest
hopeless. No such' claims will be couceded lor a
monieni. Their complaints of a breacb of faith
are utterly without foundation. Their sur
render was absolute and unconditional; and
whatever rights may be theirs in the General
Government, come from the restrictions im
posed upon that Government by the Constitution,
and not Irom any terms or conditions stipulated
as the price ot their surrender. They can gam
nothing by pressing claims on that ground.
They will only arouse tbe indignation and re
eentment ol the people of the North by so
doing, and confirm tbeir distrust ot the spirit
and iemper ot the Southern people. Tney can
nave no worse advisers than those who appeal
to a false sense of honor, and strive to make
them believe they have been cheated and be
trayed by the leaders of the armies to whom
their surrender was made.
Tlie Emperor of the French III Declin
ing Influence
Trom the Herald.
Napoleon is now no longer the man he was.
There are many things which Indicate that the
good genius which has hitherto stood so faith
fully by him is gradually leaving him to his
own resources. Fortune, whatever the cause,
is less propitious than formerly. For the last
eighteen years he has occupied a more eon
epicuous place in the eye of the world than
any man living" in the same period. The part
which be has had to play in the drama of his
time a part in some seno self-selected, but in
Bonse sense also forced upon h! in has been
great and hazardous, but his worst enemies
cannot refuse to admit that he has played it
witb singular ability ana success, ins admin
istration of the aUalrs of France, notwith
standing many adverse influences, has raised
that nation to a heiebt of prosperity and ereat
ness rivalling, if not surpassing, the dazzle and
magnificence of the First Empire. No great
movement has taken place in Europe since 1843
with winch ne has not been airectiy or indirectly
connected, and in no single instance, till within
a recent period, nas he spoicen without euect or
exerted his influence in vain.
Since the daja of Oliver Cromwell no ruler
lias so rJrruly grasped the reins of power or in
fused such vigor into every department of Gov
ernment. Nor has the Emperor found scope
for the exercise of his faculties in one direction
only. He has appeared but once at the head of
lils army on the held ot battle; but his success
on that occasion, in tbe estimation of many,
warT,ad tbe belief that in other circumstances
it might be possible lor him to rival even the
brilliant military reputation of his uncle. Nor
las he failed to obtain distinction in the world
of letters. Not to BpeaV of his earlier works, of
which competent ertue upoak in terms of eom
mendat.on, his "Life of j'uu.ia Ca-sar." so fa" as
It has gone, must be regarded, with all Ita faults,
as a marvel of industry aUU toloot. How such
a mnn, in such circumstances, coulJ And time
nnd lotivcmenre to prosecute such a tasc, it is
difficult to coticeive. Hnccess, in (act, since
1HH ha be en Inseparable trom Ms name.
There Is a tide, however, in the aff ilrs ot men:
and to all human aptearnneo . tbiii critical
period hn arrived In urn history ot Napoleon
ill. Whether his good ecntus hastrrowa weary
nnd impatient because of eontinuo'is and ex-,
cessive effort, we know not: but It is abundantly
nianlipsl, whatever the cauee, the change has
come. The F.mperorls not what ho was. Failure
lollows failure in rapid succession, and evidence
accumulates upon evidence to stiov that Ills
calculations are at fault. He has not yet srlven
up his favorite came, but his movements on the
poll ileal chess board are no longer made by the
same, unerring hand. It was no doutK a suffi
ciently tempting thought to become the founder
in the New World of a gre.it Lut in empire, it
would give form to his favorite doctrine of
Ctrsiiristn.; It would have the effect besides of
coi'nti'iactinr the crowing Influence -of the
great Anglo-Saxon tamilv. In giving shape to
this thought,. however, he overlooked two most?
important, and vital truth": First, thit
institutions ' are rarely successfully ' super
induced' tipon a people; ani "secondly,
that the influences which had made the Anglo
Saxon family what it Is, aud tbe elements of
character which those influences bad gradually
farmed, were vi holly wanting to the Latin races,
Of tho folly of his Mexican enterprise the Em
peror is himself already fully convinced. It
was natural enough, too, tor' a Bomtpartc to
"de'cd" tbe treaties of 1815. and to declare, as
he did, in that famous speech which heralded
the German war. that tbe time had come for
the fresh rectification of frontiers and tho re
arranecmrnt of Kurofean territory. It is.dilll
cult to believe that the announcement wjs
made lor any other ptirpose than to flatter
French pride and to encourase French ambi
tion. Tho result of the German contest has
been sufficiently humiliating. The trcaiii-s of
1815 have been 'flung to the winds of heaven;
but without the aid ot France. Frontier! have
been rectified; but Napoleon has not been con
sulted. The map ot Kurope has been recast;
but France remains what it was. Aud who
would have believed six months aero thjtthe
all-powerful Emperor of the French, would
have patiently endured a rebuff at the hands of
the Prussian Government? Nor can it be said
that matters have been mended by this recent
manitesto. It is a dull mind that cannot pene
trate the cloud ot sophistry with which it Is
veiled, and perceive that it has no other object
than to gloss over a defeat which cannot be
concealed and soothe tbe Irritated leelinus ol a
people whose ambition cannot be grsttiflsd.
And what shall we say of bis present wretched
Mexican muddle and of his miserable altitude
towards Rome? Clearly the old decisive will
is wanting. Hesitation and uncertainty are
everywhere. Whether it is that the state of the
Kinpercr'a health is rendering him more acces
sible to tbe iuHtience of weaker minds we know
not, but certain it is that, his good genius is less
faithful than of old, and that the tide of his for
tunes has turned.
Two Aatrologera.
From the Tribune.
The World said the other day, "Now, it only
needs to recall what a Blight percentage on the
total vote of this great State shifts a heavy
majority, to expose the radical game of 'brag.'
One year ago, General Barlow received 301,055
votes, and General Slocum 273.198, a Republican
majority of 27,857. Barlow's vote was less than
62J per cent, of the total poll; Slocum's was
more than 47J per cent, of the total poll. In
other words, the radiculs carried the State by
less than 2J per cent, ol the entire vote. There
fore, Hoffman and Pruyn have only to gain over
and above Slocum's vote, which was not a full
Democratic vote, less than 5 per cent, of tne
Republican vote, to bs elected Goveruor aud
Lieutenant-Governor of the State ot New York,
If anj body doubts, etc. etc."
Iu reading this, we are reminded ot the Anima
Astroioyia cf old Boiuitus, to whose accurate
propliecies the statistical arguments of the
World bear the closest reseu.blanee. With all
tbe gravity of that Journal, the astrologer saiu:
.''As once I sought the revolution of a year, I
found Mars in the tilth degree beyond the Cusp
of the Angle of the Knri.li in Capricorn, South
Latitude; which signified the killing ot the
Roman Emperor; and acquamt-d him with it,
for bis Court was at G'rossicni, tnd I at Forlirll;
and it was found that Fandulsus dc Farscnr-lla,
and Theobuldus Franciscus, and divers others
of tho Secretaries, had conspired to slay him;
and none of his own astrologers observed It,
because they did not believe that Mars was in
an Angle, lor he was 4 degrees beyond the
Cusp, and 58 minutes in their opinion."
However, the Emperor was not killed, and
Hoffman won't be elected.
The Social Science Congress.
From the Tribune.
The association fornTcd some years ago in
England lor the promotion of Social Science is
vindicating its claim to be ranked, among those
philanthropic institutions which are the glory
of the present age. At first decried and ridi
culed by those who have little or no sympathy
with any movement looking to tbe amelioration
oi man's condition by moral agencies, it has
steadily pursued its course of usefulness, until
now it occupies a position in which it extorts
the respectful acknowledgments of its former
opponents. Mven the London Timrs bas ceased
to be cynical towards it; and that journal sneers
no longer at the men for whom la former times
it had no kinder word than to describe them as
weak- minded individuals, whose kniaht-eirantry
in the cause of re i oral was redeemed from utter
contempt only by the benevolence of tbe
motives that prompted them to action. - The
association has conquered esteem; and the Eng
lish press now speaks ot it in too language of
unquaiineu praise, xne onsress mis year
appears to have opened under the most favora
ble auspices, aud the proceedings promise to be
fruit! ul in usefulness ol a substantial kind. The
ivaugnral address of the President, the Earl of
Shaftesbury, wasoi the most practical character
wide reaching iu its views, sound in the prin
ciples enunciated, and imbued largely with the
noble spirit of Christian benevolence.
Lord Brough'im's address on the second day
was scarcely , inferior to the President's; and
several papers of great value, on a variety of
subjects oi the highest Importance, had been
read before the Congress. The aims of the Asso
ciation bre of a loltv kind. To spiead the bless
ings cf popular education; to discourage and re
tress vice and crime; to soften the rigors of
law, without weakening its terrors to evil-doers;
to mitigate, as far as possible, the hardships of
a life of manual libor, and at the same time
stimulate industry; to teach the poor provi
dence and thrift; to disseminate uselul informa
tion on commerce Rfd trade; to promote inter
national amity and peace; and to give the
utmost practicable effect to tho great doctrine
of human brotherhood these are among the
worthy objects it propluses to accomplish.
Every lover of hls race every intelligent
laborer in the cause of (civilization will rejoioe
in its pro wing success, tor, in the best sense of
the expression, it is cosmopolitan in its char
acter. It ia already receiving valuable contri
butions from ibis country, and, in the good
work in which it is emrairod. America nevur
backward in enterprises .f philanthropy will
render substantial aid.
Horace Greeley ftvs a Hen.
From the World. S
Horace Greeley long ago bVought his turnip

his poultry yard into politic?. He literally
cackles over the legislative nominations of his
party for the current year; bi it, being Just as
irrational in his capacity of be i as he usually
bas been in his capacity of b iman being, he
cackles over that which would o cause oi sor

Dickinson College.
From the i;o Yoik Methodist.
Dickinson College at this juncture calls loudly
for the earnest, Interested activity aud the en
larged liberality of her sons, her friends, and the
whole Methodist population within the bounds
of the two Baltimore, the Fhllaielphia, and the
New Jersey Conferences. For a number of years
this noble aud useful institution bas been most
unlortunately situated. Standing on the very
line of strife between bitterly hostile opinions,
ber patroi.iztng territory, half slave and half
tree, her Board of Trustees therefore divided in
feeling on the most vital issues ot the day, har
mony, except on tho surface, was impossible.
As the war drew on, thls6tate of things neces
sarily grew worse and worse, and the alieuation
in Virgiuia aad in portions of Maryland became
complete.
It micrht have been expected that tho Internet
on the other side of the '1 ue would increa-o in ;
propoi tion to this alienation of Hit disloyal, but j
sucu interest nas not stio vn itseit in any tangi
ble form. While other Methodist colleces have
received liberal aitts and bequests, Dickinson is
still in, endowed, and serion.-lv aud painfully
crippled. The members of the (acuity are
living on lntle more than half the salaries
nominally awarded them, and even t'iat pit
tance is eked out by collections taken in the
churches. Mow is the time to endow Dickinson
College now, or, as we fear and believe, nevtr.
We would affectionately but solemnly remiui
the Church within the patronizing conferences
ol tbe vast importance ot educational institu
tions under tho control ol Cmistiuniiy. The
Church ot Christ dare not leave tho hieher edu
cation of the people in tne hands of the wond.
Learning must come to our children, and to the
children ot the republic, shaped and seasoned
with Christianity; and tho great Methodist
Episcopal Chuich, the liuaest in the laud, is
bound to do her share of the work. She will
neglect it at her great peril. She must uot for
get that the college of the country send their
graduates dow n into tho academies and interior
schools, and thus impregnate the whole culture
nnd li'e ol the nation; thathe great majority
of the men who occupy the hmhesl civil and'
political positions of the country are from thse
same eollepes, and that no Church can even
reasonably hope to retuin lis owu ynuuir men if
other de nominations arc permitted to educate
ihein.i
Ot this work, Dickinson, since H came into
our hands, in spite of all disadvantages, has done
a creditable share. Our fathers, men of icputo
among us, many of whom have now entered
into their rect, have handed the institution
down to us. They left in it their foil and care
and prayers and sacrifices, and never dreamed
that what tbey so cheerfully began in tbeir
poverty could possibly be abandoned or ne
glected by tbeir sons, wbeu rich and increased
in goods. Besides the noble men who founded
it as a Methodist institution, there were othets
who wrought in its Iccture-iooms, whose
memory is as ointment poured forth, tho men
lion ol "whose names ought to revive dormant
attachments and to shame our coldness. Robert
Emory, one of the purest and grandest young
men the country has had, wore his lite out iu
the Eervice of Dickinson College. His whole
biief but glorious activity is identified with its
history. Mtrntt Caldwell, another of the
Church's noblest pons, lived and died there, and
be that turns his back on Dickinson College,
and refuses now to stretch out a liberal hand to
save it, forgota slights tbe memory and labors
of the honored dead. We forbeur to mention
the names of the living; the bare allusion will
recall them to the mind ot tho Church, and
make the heart of many an old pupil to glow
with sweet memories as he reads.
In our opinion Dickinson is in danger. This
centenary year must see ber endowed aud
started oil in a new, lrec, unembarrassed career,
or she mutt prove a disastrous lailure. Has
there not been difgraoe enough of this sort to
Methodism? Remember Troy University. Meth
odist hope and enterprise built ir, and Methodist
something else permitted it to slide into the
hands of the Romanists. The halls that lor a
while sheltered the children ol Wesley, and wit
nessed their simple devotions, and were pledged
to tit them for Protestant ard Methodist useful
ness, are now the class-rooms of supeisiition,
places for telling beads and hearing auricular
couf'essions. We pity the Methodist people of
Troy. The monument of their failure is ever
belore tuem; it looks down upon them trom the
greatest heieht of their city.
Shall not the Metbodisis stop hero? AW1 they
not say that this shall be the very last instance
of such lamentable disgrace? Jr will the
Methodists of the two Baltimore, the Phila
delpbia. and the New Jersey Conferences per
mit Dickinson to ibllow Troy? What say the
sons of tbe men who founded this institution;
what say those who have beeu educated within
its walls; these who have been converted
while students there; those who represent her
so honorably in our pulpits and other places of
influence, and especially those of our people
who have store ot money? W by, if Dickinson
Collese should be allowed to fail alter the length
ot time we have owned it, after tho lives of
honored men given to it, alter the labors and
prayers expended upon it, every Metbodist in
the land would teel the shock. It would be a
conscious humiliation and shame to him. He
unniri nnsh the Daoer that recoided the dis-
grace from him, and feel in his soul a contempt
IOr lUU ntUIUWUCDD HUU I ll l. V umv M'.ftuv
have prevented such a dishonor.
And if this would bo so with all the Metho
dise, hnn would It be with those of the Balti
more, Lust Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New
Jersev Conferences? The thing would lie pre
cisely at their door. Dear brethren, there is
danaer in our opinion, great danuer. This
centenary year must say whether Dickinson
Collece shall riu nr tinlc. whether its historv
shall drop iu tbe dust and perish, and whether
its dead and hvluor luhrnvrs have labored and
died in vain. Endow Dickinson College note or
