RATIFICATION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, Senator Yates, of Illinois, introduced a bill today providing for the publica tion of the ratification of the Conßtitu- tional Amendment, which w>s referred to the Reconstruction Committee. It provides that official notice be given of the adoption of the Amendment by the States shall he sent to the Secretary of I <.he Senate *Btie he Clerk of the 1 of Representatives, instead of the Sec* retary of State aa heretofore provided by the Aqt of 1818, oud that upon there» ceipt by these two officers of official no. tice from three-fourths of the States that au Amendment has been adopted, the President of the Senate and the Speak er of the House of Representatives shall fortharith can.se publication of the same to be made in the newspaper authorized by law to promulgate the laws, with their joint certificate that such amendaent or amendments are valid to all iuteuis and purposes as a part of the Constitution of the Uuifcd States. Mr. Yates holds that tliree>fourths ol the States represented in Congress are competent to amend the Constitution,and that this view of the case necessarily fol lows the assumption that two-thirds of their representatives in each House of Congress arc competent to propose au amendment for ratification. It is well to know that the Adminis tration does not ts.kc this view of the case, and hence the necessity according to the radicals of providing a new meth od for its publication, if the amendment now before the States should be ratified by threc-fburlhs of the loyal Slates. It is believed that the discussion of this bill will develop the views of Senators upou the sut'ject of itnuulliug the Slate governments which have beeu set up in the South by the Executive, and tho es tablishment of territorial goverumeuts, wherein all the people, without respect to color, shall have a voice. 1 he Suffrage bill passed by the House on Friday, the 14th inst. Tho House took up the Senile bill providing for the Universal Suffrage in this Distrio, and without any amendment adopted it precisely in the shape it was telegraphed last night. It will he pre sented to the President toMnorrow tor his signature. There were forty<sii votes against it. Those who voted in the neg> alive with the D mocrats were liuo'narri of West Virginia ; Lotliam, of '.Vest Vir ginia ; Mqlvee, of Keutucky; Phelps, of Maryland; Randall, of Kentucky, Still well, of Indiana, ami Whaley, of West Virginia Messrs. Raymond and Hale of New York, and Delano, of Ohio, vo ted for the bill. Civil <jiovcriniM>»( in Xordi I'arolimi. We are informod by our exchanges that a bill was introduced into the House of the North Carolina Legislature, ou the 13th instant, to enable the State to re sume its former relatious as a Constitu* tional State of the American Republic. After a lengthy preamble, the tirst sec tion provides for holding a Convention at Kaleigh, on the of May, to consist of ono hundred aud twenty citi zens as delegates to frame a Constitution to be submitted to Congress fur approval, modification or rejection. The second section provides that all male resident citizens, of twenty«one years ot age, without distinction of race or color, who can read or wrice, or own one hundred dollars, shn.il vote: Provided , That no one heretofore entitled to vote shall be disquali ed f.-oui voting in said election. The third section provides that the dis qualification for delegates to the Comention shall be the same as required for the num bers of tlx House of Commons, nml the oath to he administered shall he as follows: —That on the Ith of Marc)', 1804,and at all times thereafter, 1 would "willingly have complied with the requirements of the Pro clamation of the United States issued on the Bth day of December, 18(13, h id a safe op portunity for so doing been afforded me, that 1 was opposed to a continuance of the lebelliou aud the establishment of tho so e ill led Confederate Government, und volun tarily gave noaid or encouragement thereto, but earnestly desired ihesu cssof theUnion, and that 1 will henceforth faithfully support the Government of the United States of America. Section 4 provides that the jndge admin istering the oath, if h- suspects any false hood, umy require othei evidences.' False swearing is declared perjury. Seeti'.n 5 provides for the opening of the polls by the United Sates Marshal, who ►hall appoint the Judges of the electiun. Section 6 provides compensation for the Marshal and those whom he may appoint. Section 7 declares the present State Gov ernment of North Carolina void, and func tions of all the present State officers at an end. .Section 8 gives the President power to use the military and naval force to exocute this law. A New and Grand Fpoch in Medicine! Dn. MAOOIKL is the founder of a new Medical System! The quatititarians, whose vast internal doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give precedence to the man who restores health and appetite, with from one to two of his extraordinary Pills, and cures tlta most virulent sores with a box or so of his wonderful and all-healing Salve. These two great specifics of the Doctor are fast superseding all the stereotyped nostrums of the day. Extraordinary cures by Maggiel's Pills and Salve have opened the eyes of the public to the inefficiency .of the (so called) remedies of of hers, and upon which people have °o long blindly 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 an appetite, and render the spirits light and buoyant ! There is no griping and no reaction in the form of constipa tion. If the liver is affected, its fane tions arc restored; and if the nervous system is feeble, it is invigorated. This last quality makes the medicines very desirable for the wants of delicate fe males. rioerous and eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by the disen fectant power of Maggiel's Salve. ID fact, it is here announced that MAOGIEL'S BILIOUS, DYSPEPTIC AND DIARRHEA PILLS cure where all others fail. While for Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts and all abrasions of the skin, MA/J«IEL' 1 8 SALVE is infalliable. Sold by J.

Especially do we desire to mako the Local Depart ment interesting ; and iu ordfir that this uiay be done, wo request that our readers will send us items of local iuterest from the differeut partj of our county. Give us short article') or communications ou subjects of importance to the people.— There aro individuals iu ever Township, llorough, and eveu iu every School Dis trict, who are competeut to write a short article on some »übjeet of importance to the pooplo of their locality, or to the county at large. As the greater portion of our own peo ple are engai;od in Agriculture, articles ou the different topics that may come un der ine general head of Agriculture or Farming, each one giving his experience iu Iprming, in regard to the nature of tho soil, the manner of preparing the same for tho differeut cereals or grains; such as wheat, rye, oals, corn, ic., the modo or manner of cultivation, and the yield per acre. Also, the kinds and quantity of manures or fertilizers applied and their effect on and adaption to tho differeut crops; also, with regard to rotation of crops. Then, there is the suMoot of that much needed internal improvement to our county,—subject ijvhich should be agi tated and kept before the people until the Iron Horse is heard echoing through our valleys and across our hills. Everybody admits that wo need a Railroad, and should have one. The people should wake up on this subject, aud never cease working until ttieir efforts are crowned with success. This wo are inclined to think, is a subject of vital importance to the citizens of Uutlor bounty. We have a territory, a great portion of which is well adapted to agricultural purpo*es, and nearly all may be made to produce clover, timothy, and other grasses,—and our county is traversed by numerous small streams, and is well watered by uevcr failing springs of pure water. Our mineral resources, so far as the same have been developed, show that they are almost inexhaustible, consisting of iron ore, bituminous and cannol-ooal. and lime stone, and some say, and many are of the opinion, that we also, have copper and lead ores. Then, there is the manufacturing in terests. We have the fuel, and water power, and if we had Railroads, it would not be long before our valleys would bo dotted with iron works, woolen factories) &e. Labor and wealth would flow into our county, and our farmers would find a ready home market for their stock, grain, hay, and everything that they could raise, *nd not be compelled to drive and haul the same through the mud to Pittsburgh, and lose so much time and be at such great expense to dispose of whatever they may have to spare. Have our citizens really viewed these things in their prop er light 112 If yju have not, it is time that you should arouse from your lethar gy and goto work at once.

We scarcely ever hear from our edu cators, and so far as they are concerned we do uot even know that our Schools are in progress. We would like to hear 112 rom those that feel, competent to write upon the subject of teaching with regard to the manner or method of imparting in stiuction, and thus awaken an interest on this important subject, and throw your experience into a common lund and thus benefit all engaged in the profession.

The following article which we clip from the New York Tribune of the 12th inst., and, which is based upjn the official report of Gen. Sickles—shows very con clusively that the reconstruction policy of Andrew Johnson hps not as yetbrought the Rebels of that State into obedieuce to the laws— except, so far as the mili tary powor of the government is exer cised by Gen. Sickles, and those under him; aud yet, we are told by the Pres ident, that, "In all the States, civil au thority has superseded the coersion of arms, and the people, by their voluntary, action, are maintaining their governments iu full activity and complete operation," and that, "ihe enforcement of the laws is no longer obstructed in any State by combinations too powerful to be suppressi ed Sy the ordinary course of judicial proceeding"." And yet, Union Soldiers, while enga ged in the performance of their bouuden duty are shamefully and ruthlessly mur dered—and Executive clemency is ex tended to the Rebel murderers—but they are some of "my Jriend*" aud we wish to show them that, although they are the vilest of wretches, and have forfeited, even life itself, wp still extend to them the right-hand if fellowship, and grant them, even more aud greater privileges than is extended to men North and South who*? loyalty to the government, has never been called in question. Here is the article to—read , and judge for yourselves : It is a mercy to withhold power from those who will but abuse its posies sion. In South Caroliua, for instance, exclusive of frcedmen, there are three classes—the Loyal, few but firm, who kept their faith through the dark and dis couragiug midnight of Secession—the Rebels, who really repent their mistake and are sincere in their profession of re allegiance—and, lastly, a motely variety of men, of different social grades, souio educuted and some ignorant, some refin ed and some coarse, geutlemen and loaf ers. well-born aud low-born, who are uni ted by a common hatied of the Govern ment which conquered and now controls them, and who mean to fight on a small seal j for a cause which they failed to successfully defend upon a large one.— Oeu. Sickle's report shows that Law and Justice have not *ttaiued very firm footholds in South Carolina—that crime is not yet intimidated, aud violeuce not yet abashed—that men of blood are still bold and busy, and murderously meddle some— that the peaceful and lawvibidiug still need there (lie military protection of their lives and their property—that in certain localities; loyalists aud frcedmen are in constant danger of ill-treatment, and even of death, and arc tormented (to use Gen. Sickle's words) by -'bands of outlaws and maiaudtrs, composed of the most reckless and abandoned characters, organized maiuly for plunder and pillage" -"-scoundrels who do not seem to have much reason to fear the civil authorities, and who arc to be restrained, if at all, only by the dread of luminary military punishment. We ate glad to learn from Gen. Sickles that "justice is administer ed by the Superior Courts with a con scientious re-pect of law." The difficul ty is iu gtt itheir offenders into the upper eouits at all. Magistrates are d - latory in issuing warrants. Sheriffs and coustables are fat from diligent in making arrests. Coroners, when freed men are killed, are more than traditionally obtuse With bands of mounted robbers prowling about the country, with justices of the peace afraid to do their ddly, with offiters of police either cowardly or con.upt,wliat chance, in a sparsely settled locality, have honest men of escaping from any outrage which the devil may prompt, opportani ty inspire, and passion consummate ? Ther» is nobody who will arrest, and, if there were, there is nobody who will com mit for trial; there is no resource but to fall back upon the military power, and thus indefinitely to postpouo that hour, so much to he desired, when it c<n be satcly and sensibly withdrawn. These facts, which are officially stated, and which are worthy of credit, put the Government of the United States in a new light, and exhib : t it in that very state which so olten has defied and insul ted it, as the protector of the weak, as the power by which alone South Caroli na is saved from the sheerest aud savagest anarchy. The very soldiers who were hailed upon their arrival as intruders and | oppressors, as plundorers and Federal mercenaries, now alone staud betweeu the so-called respectable classes and all the evils of anarchy : for the blood stained thieves who mortally and materially abuse the loyalists and the frcedmen would be quite as ready to iespoil and destroy the most ultra secessionists When the pro rnotois of the Rebellion made disobedi ence to the law the test of manhood and of State patriotism, they awoke a busy devil with no more respect for those who conjured him than for those he was sum moned to destroy. It was the benevolent justice of tSe United States which sav ed them from all the possibjo horrors of a survile insurrection jit is now the mil- j itary loice of the United States whicn preserves them from destruction at the hands of their own violent population.— [ What a commentary in this much-vaun ted doctriuo of a self-sustaioiqg and is - [ olated State supremacy ! What prqof, plenary and irrefrngible, of the suicidal madness of secession ! l!ut the piesent troubles in South Car nlina and the adjoining States are there u'f of a condition of affair- existing uu chucked and uuaineliurated long before the Rebellion. The public men of these States, many yearS ago, began to teach their inhabitants lessjns of contempt for law ; and by their example mure than one eminent person there has inculcate 1 the doctrine oi personal vengeance, ami too proud to accept the protection of courts ofjustiee, or too passion.itu to await their tardy process, has taken t'o; Inw into his own hands Mid shot and stubbed at his own savage will, not seffloui with iuipun ty. Wheu felony, ho.vevar chiv alrous or however bedizened with a fine name, is fash onable among the upper sort, what wonder is it that the contagion of a bad example spreads, and that the lower orders give us a siinguitary cari cature of the death-dealing exploits of their social superiors? We refer to these things certainly not for the purpose ol strengthening old or of tan ning the embers of old hatreds; but we would fain point out to the geuerally well meaning although sometimes sorelv mis taken men of the South, that the true loyalty which it is now in their power to display wi'l be a bright example to their weaker brethicn, and will tend to make their own livps iuore sacred, and their property more secure in a State which they love too well to abandon, >nd which they would gladly see restored to older, peace aud prosperity. It is easy to iu-. dulgc in factious complaint; it is not hard to uurse useless and hopeless resentments; it is a momentary gratification to sneer at authority, aud to spit upon the statutej; but he who docs so in the States lately in rebellion is destroying Uis own peace, picking his own pocket, and filling the bosoms of his own family with constant fears and poisonous apprehensions. If South Carolina desires to enforce her own laws, the must begin by inculcating a in spect lor those of the United States.— Her leadiug men little understand the North il they suppose that there is any desire to trample upon them—any wish expect to see the errant State restored to its true constitutional orbit, prosperous, progressive and peaceful. If we must wait for this consummation, we will do so hopefully and patiently, for the descend ants of the Huguenots must come right at last, and the better mind of the State in time assert itself. Tlic.Democratic Policy. The following article from the Pitts burgh Gazelle of the 14th insi , is to the point, and should be sufficient to satisly any intelligent and honest Democrat, thnt the boast of the Democratic party wh icli we hear so often, "that the Government will goto ruin if not controlled aud gov erned by ill ' Democracy," is an idle phrase, and only made use ol to deceive "the iguoraut, and work upon their fears and thus lead theiu to support a party, that for thirty years, had the exclu sive control of the Government, aud hail well nigh destroyed the fair fabric left to us tiy our forefathers. The last election should teach the leaders of tho Demo craiic party, that the people have determ ined to look alter their own interests, aud see that the fruits of the lati struggle, inaugurated aud carried or* by those who composed a largo portion ol the "Coun try-saving, Union loving Dcm jcracy," a e not lost, aud shall not inure to the bene fit of those who conspired to destroy the Government: " For the long period of thirty years the Democrats possessed tho government of the United States. Constaut and com maoding success inflated their arrogance What they held by sufferance they came to regard as belonging to them in fee situ pic. Whoever differed from them, or challenged their tenure of authority, they held to be guilty of unpardonable contu macy. It is not wonderful, therefore, that they resorted to all measures that prom ised to perpetuate their ascendancy.— lleucc, while they held the government in trust foV the whole people, they con spired its overthrow, so as to consolidate it in their own hands, or, rather, in the hands of their leaders. In 1850, when the North became meas urably aroused to this tendency, and ex hibited a determination to cheek it, the Democrats talked and acted as if their iuhereut rights were invaded. That any body should question their right to rule, and in such way as pleasod them, offend ed them as greatly as the assertion of the lnalenuble perogatives of the people does a King who imagines be reigns by Divine delegation. This was the secret ot their heat, their coarseness, their brutality, when they discovered a new power rising up that must rrowd them Irorn their seats, leather th in submit, they resolve ed upon speedy tind terrific rebellion.— For four years, se ted iu the palaces of the government, and knowing that the hour oi iheir outgoing was nigh, they conspired to undermine all tho strong | holds, to was tie all the revenues, to ex I haust all the resources, so that when >h> if i duly appointed successors took possession, a revolutionary force might find little to | oppose it, and win an easy prey. J hey exhibited a Democratic ingenuity ; but | miscalculated the spontaneity and tetiae j ity ot the elements with which they | wrested. At last they weie forced to succumb, and accept a government they ; had come to hate, but could not destroy. ! Thus was established the doctrine that tho uational auihority doe- n .t belon" to the Democrats, riot to .my pun v. but to the loyal pe pie of the nation, and "that they have a right to do with us thi - will It wus hoped this doctrine Would not be aguin assailed, either by secret craft or open force, but this hope was do mod to disappointment. As soon as Mr Johnson entered upon the Presidency he wasappreacjjed bj the Democrats, was tempted of them ..nd fell into their suare. fie conceived the idea that the Winers of the great flood could be dri d up and leave n i s -o that the country had been ueluged. To this end he and tho Democrats employed their wits ami impudence—tho latter being chief oi the two. At one uuio it aoew> > Ed as if temporary success wight fall to ! their lot.

It .smote, but the rock was not broken—only tlig waves weie dashed and powerless. Uuder this new discomfiture tile dem ocrats hardly k:.ow what to do, but in cline to appear, as the managers of thea tres express it, in an entirely new charac> ter—l bat of deference to the popular will j This must uot be attributed to native modesty, but to enforced humiliation.— Adversity has its uses ; and when, under its salutary discipline, the deuioorats learn that they really count no more than a like number ol men of different political opinions, it will be a good thing tor them and the country. In accordan'ctAj'iih this new the Kejnociafs have determined 6ot to make factious opposition, in Congress, to the will of the majority. Of course, they are inspired hereto in having a hope that the Republicans will so misuse tlic power with which they are clothed as to create a distrust in their administrative capacity, if not to.' Oeeasiou a revolt on til ft psri 0.l the more moderate among thein.
