Constitutional Amendment.
A writer in the Attanlhic Monthly fur
November speak; as follows of the neces
sity of the Constitutional amendment: In
regard to amnesty the amendment to the
constitution which Congress has passed
disqualifies no rebels from voting,and on
ly disqualifies them trooi holding office
when they have happened to add perju
ry to treason. In regard to suffrage it
makes it for the political interests of the
Sou''i to Le j-i tto its colored citizens,
I- .using representation on voters end
hot on population, aud thus places the
indulgence of class jrcjudiccs and ha
treds under the penalty of a correspond
ing ios3 of political power in the lilec
torial College and the Natio'iiil House of
Representatives. If the Rebel .States
auoalAbe.ic-iored without this amenl
inent becoming a part of tho Constitu
tion, then the slave States will have
thirty Presidential Representatives in
virtue of a population they disfranchise,
and the vote of a rebel white in South
Carolina will carry with it more than
double the power of a loyal white in
Massachusetts. The only ground on
which this disparity can be defeude 1 is,
that as "one Southerner is more than a
match for two Yankees," he has au in
herent, continuous, unconditional right
to have this superiority recognized at the
ballot-box. Indeed, the injustice of this
is so monstrous, chat the Johnson orators
find it more convenient to decry all con
ditions of representation than to meet
the incontrovertible reasons for ■■exacting
the condition which ba=cs representation
on voters. Not to make it a part of the
Constitution would b l , in Mr. Shelltbar
ger's vivid illustration, to allow "Tint
Lee's vote should have doul4c the elect*
he power of Grant's; douole
Uiat ot Farragut's. Booth's (did hp Ijve)
double thit of Lincoln's, his victim !"
It is alio to be considered that thirty
vote 3 would, in almost all future session-?
of decide the fate of the most
importaut measures. In 1>;62 the Ile
ptbli ;aus, as Congress is now constituted,
only had a majority of twenty votes. In
alliance with the Northern Democratic
party, the South with those thirty, might
repeal the Civil Rights bill, the princi>
pie of which is embodied in the proposed
amendment. It might assume the Reb
el debt, which is repudiated in the
amendment. It might even repudiate
the Federal debt, which is affirmed in the
amendment We arc so accustomed to
look at the llebel debt as dead beyond all
power of resurrection as to forget that it
anuants, with the valuation ot the eman
cipated slaves, to some ? 1,000,000,000.
If the South and its Northern Democrat
ic allies should come into power, there is
a strong probability that a measure would
be brought into a sume at least a poition
of this debt—say 82.000,000,000.
'lhc Southern members would be near
ly a u i:t for assumption, and the North
ern Democratic members would ceitain-
Iv be exposed t > the most frightful temp
tations tliat legislators ever had to resist*
Suppose it were necessary to buy fifty
members at a million of dollars apiece—
that sum would only be two and a hall
per cent of the whole. Suppose it were
necessary to give them ten millions
apiece, even that would only be a dchic
tion of twenty-, five per cent, from a claim
worthless without their votes. The bri
bery might be conducted in such a way
as to elu lc discovery, if not suspicion,
hnd the moasuie would eeitainly be
{rumpled ;tll over the North as the grand
est of all acts of statesmanlike "concilia
tion," binding the South to the Union in
indissoluble bonds of interest. The
amendment renders the conversion of the
Rebel debt into the most enormous of all
Corruption funds an impossibility. Rut
the character and necessity ofthc amend
ment arcVto well understood to need ex
planation, enforcement or defense. If it,
or some stringent one, be not adopt d,the
loyal people will be tricked out of the
fruits of the war they nave waged at the
cxpen«e of such unexampled sacrifices of
treasure and blood. It never will be
adopted unless it be practically made a
condition of the restoration ol the Rebel
States.
■ PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDRKN. —
There is nothing better, nothing safer,
nothing so suri,' of bringing forth the
right fruit in the end, than truth. Tell
your child the truth. Tell him that obe
dience requires unpaid sacrifices. Tell
liim that lie need not expect, that a purse
of gold will drop into his band the rao
nieut he denies himself of a coveted
pleasure. Tell him that the path of duty
is often terribly hard, and seldom leads
to an oil well, or seat in Congress, or to
a brown stone front house. Tell him
that virtue sunetimoi bringi thorns, en
mities, neglect. But tell him that it is
■virtue, nevertheless; the brightest, the
noblest, and the best of gifts, and what
ever comes ol gnpi ncsait is the oneth : ng
desirable, itsclt above all price. Make
him feel that obedience is pleasure that
goodness is delight, that love isaltogeth
er lovely, and he will not expect to be
paid ior the smallest service and be temp
ted to withhold a kindness when he is
not sure of a rewaid. Parents must cease
appealing to the appetites and the avarice
of their children il they w uld have them
anything but selfish and BS n^ual ;
—Governor Oattin lius tlio prestige of i
a popular administration of the State for j
a period of six, ye„rs, and at a time when '
consummate executive abilities were im- l
peratively demanded, and this iustance
fortunately supplied. It lias been many
years since any governor of that State J
has retired from office bear ng with him
"so many evi dcuees of the affections of }
his political friends and the honest ad- j
miration of his political enemies. Gov. j
("urtin has also the advantage of great
personal popularity. Outside of politics
no good man in that great commonwealth
speaks ill of him. Courteous in manners
affable in address, and uniting to a frank
uud generous nature, the refinement of
the geutlcman and the simplicity of the
republican, ho could not fail to favorahly
impress his fellow citizens of ail parties,
and command their respect if he could
not win their affections. To his ability
as n'n executive and popularity as a man
the Republican party is largely ind«Hted
for the overwhelming 6trengt! it wields

and'nseparable."—D. Webiter.
Kchoo) OlrectM'R,
Should know that School taught on
Saturday i? not legal. We have some
times known of teachers who make a point
to have all lost time in School made up
by holding Sehocl on Saturday. They
don't seem tore aware that, so far as its
legality is concerned, tlicy might as well
teach on Sunday. We would advise
all concerned to read the following which
is taken from the School Journal for No
vember. The law reads thus:
'■No Common School ahall be kept
open fur the purpose oj ordinary imtrnc
tiun cn any Saturday."
This law lias never fyeen repealed and
is therefore as biuding upon Directors
and teachers a« any other law upon our
statue bonks. In districts in which the
schools are kept open upon Satnrdny,
the I'resideut of the Board of Directors
cannot s.wear, or i-flhui that the schools
'■have Ice i kept open and in ojteration ac
cording to /aw," because it is in direct vi
olation of the plain letter of the law to
have them kept open and in operation
upon any Saturday. A contract between
the Board and teacher in which ihc Di
rectors agree to allow him to teach upon
Saturday and he agrees to thus teach, is
not legal and consequently not binding.
We trust this will put a stop to Sat
urday schools so far as our State is con
cerned. Teachers have no right to ex
pect that they will be allowed to inter
iere with the legal operations of the
Schools for ih> ir private ends. Public
interests are always supreme.
H&" Its noticing, a lew weeks since,
the letter of Gov. Cummings of Colora
da, in which he undertook to justify his
course in issuing a ccrtificat o of election
to the Ji hnson candidate, for delegate to
Congress, we expressed the opinion that
this was the same character who figured
so largely at Ilarrisburg, and who, at a
later day.was notorious as a semi-agent
ol the War Department, in the purchase
of straw bats. &c. We observe in the
Trim lie of the 80th ult., a letter from J.
1!. Chaffee, Senator elect from that cm
brjo State, in which he uses the Cover
ernor up most satisfactory, showing most
conclusively that his Excellency ( !) has
been guilty of the grossest outrages up»
on the people, has committed base frauds
if not forgeries. In l lie course of his
letter he gives the following extract from
a Colorada paper, announcing the depart
ure of the Governor for the States which
is in thq following language:
"Hood-nose left for the States in Sat
urday's coach via thsSmoky-hill rout.—
lie lias no fear of Indians, as lie only has
to intotni tlieni that he is Governor Cum
mings, and they will immediately honor
him ss the most virulent enemy of the
Whites and their settb ment in the West
We understand that all hit craftiness
iailed in discharging all his little many
obligations before he left And certain
of his friends feel » little sour on that
account I'orhaps a consignment ot straw
hats. &e., will le sent froni the East to
liquidate.
From tb'S it iS evident that we were
right in cur conclusions that this was the
straw hat man. We trust that Congress
by admitting Cclorada at once as a State
into the Union, will relieve it of his Ex
cellency's influence and control.
SSyAlthoug h, they arc unwilling to
acknowledge it, there is no disguising
the fact that the late elections in the
North have had a good effect on southern
position manifested, at least to so gieat
an extent,as heretofore. Governor Orr,
ot Sou h Carolina, tells 'he Legislature
that "the Civil Bights bill, which has
been enacted by the Congtess of the Uni
ted States, and must be rcsrected and
obcyeH until pronounced unconstitution
al by the Sut.rtnie Court of the United
States, gives the persons of color the
samo rights in all the Courts, State as
well as Federal, as are enjoyed Ly the
white race ; and, so long as white psr»
sons are liable only in the supsrior Courts
for felony, the same privilege must be
awarded to persons of color. Notwith
standing the supposed prohibition in the
State Constitution—the Constitution- of
the United States being the supreme law
of the liud." The Govemnr itirthcr de
claies that " he exji limeut of allowing
Negroes to ttstily in all cases has proved j
most satisfactory, and has had a salutary
iufiuence in encouraging and elevating
their moral seLse."
Tbe Govcrpor further bears testimony
to the success of free la bor alleging that
where they have been liberally compen
sated they have labored faithfully. This
is an additional evidence of the disap-
I"i cf jfaittdlc* rom tho minds of
at least a portion of the Southern peo
ple. We hope under the wise policy
which Congress shall adopt ws will soon
see entire conciliation and peaee based
on justice and liberty.

On Monday last, Wm Stoops, John H.
Cratty, Dept. Ileg. k Rcc., aad Wa'son
J. Young, Esq., retired from the offices,
which they have respectfully occupied
for ttie )as| three years. It lias seldom,
if ever, been our lot to witness the retire
ment of officers who had more faithfully
discharged their respective duties. They
will no doubt carry with them the con
tinued confidence, respect and best wish
es of all.
J. 15. Clark, Erq., Sintcon Nixon and
Frank Eastman, have each entered upon
the duties of their respactive offices.—
Men who have d scharged their duties so
well and faithfully to their country in
the time of peril will no doubt, make
good and faithful civil officers. They are
eminently qualified for the positions
which they severally occupy ; and when
they shall have served their constituency
in their respective positions to which
they have been elevated by the votes of
the people, they will no dou >t retire, as
have their predecessors, with the well
wishes of all.
Our newly elected Sheriff J. B. Stov
ry, Esq , has not yet assumed the duties
of his office. lie haa.been entering in
t,o, partnership with a young lady, in or
der that he may have a helpmeet, to
share with him the joys of life and cheer
him in the path of duty. He will be
duly installed into his tffi e iu a short
time; aud will no doubt make a good,
humane and efficient officer.
In the selection of these officers, the-
Republican party has shown, that they
appreciate the services of their Country's
brave defenders.
|®~()ur readers feel a deep interestiu
the final issue of the deserter's cases ; we
would inform them that the only ease
tried by a jury, was the one we spoke of
last week. Ihere is still ten indictments
we believe, pending against J*B. L>unlap,
Judge, and eleven against the Inspectors
of Oakland township. The cases against
the deserters, however, were settled, each
dersertcr agreeing to pay the ltscord cost.
This will be about fifteen dollars it) eaeh
case, besides the loss of ten days time,
thpir own witnesses'cost and theireoun
cil fees. We doubt whether, at this rate
they will wish to vote the Democratic
ticket more than once a year. We will
wait and see.

The N'ashinuton correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger believes that enough
has been made known through persons
who have had private and confidential
conversations with President Johnson,to
authorise certain expectations as to what
the message will recommend, especially
in regard to reconstruction. We are as
sured that the tone of the will
be pacific, if not conciliatory. In re
gard to his plan of reconstruction, be
will assume that the only thing remains
ing to be done is the admission of leg ally
elected loyal representatives and that
that wot k bel jngs to Congress Although
he has not during his adtni nistratioo
deemed any further amendments to the
Censtitution necessary, he will, in view
ol the exigencies ot the day, recommend
several other matters or subjects to be
embraced in the proposed amendments
to that instrument. Among them may
he mentionad the abolishment of the
112 lectoral f'ollege; the election of I'resi
dent and Vice President directly by the
voters at largi; tbe election of TJ. S.
Senators by the voters at large, for the
tei»i of twelve years each, one-third of
the entire number to be appointed every
four years. As Mr. Johnson holds that
under the Constitution the Executive
bus the sole power to grant amnesty and
pardons, he will pot propose any action
by Congress respecting the subject.
Although these opin ionf are put for
ward with considerable confidence by the
usually well informed correspondent of
the Ledger , other writtis believe and as*
sert tliot the President will make no rec
ommendations whatever in regard to the
Constitutional Amendment. A brief in
terval only, separates us from a solution
of this interesting question.

A New and Grand Fpoch in Medicine!
'DR. MAQGIEL is the founder of a new
Medical System ! The quaotitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to, the mau who, restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with a box or so of his
wonderful and all-healiug Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast
superseding all the stereotyped nostrums
of the day. Kxtraordinary cures by
Maggiel's Pills i\nd Salve have opened
the eyes of the public to the inefficiency
of the (so called) remedies of others, and
upon which people have «o loug bliudly
depended. 'Maggiel's Pills are not of the
class that swallowed by the dozen, and
of which every box full taken creates an
absolute necessity for another. One or
two of Maggiel's Pills suffices to place the
bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
creates au appetite, and render the spitits
light and buoyant ! 1 here is no griping
and no reaction iu the form of constipa
tion. If the liver is affected, its I'unc
tions are restored; and if the nervous
system is feeble, it is invigorated. This
last quality makes the medicines very
desirable for the wants of delicato fe
males. Ulcerous and eruptive diseases
are literally extinguished by the disen
fectant power of Maggiel s Salve. In
fact, it is lietc announced that MAOQIEL'S
BILIOUS, DYSPEPTIC AND DIARRHEA

"Give me a place to rest my lever on,"
says Archimedes, "and I will move the

times "and I will cure disease."
In one sense, both of these learned
pundits were the veriest charlatans.—
They knew there was no place to rest
their lever on, either to move tjio world
or cure disease. Mechanism was in a
backward state, and 'he medical profess
