MONDAY MORNING,
DEC. 20. I86P.
We are pleased to learn that the
Southern Farmer, an agricultural
monthly, published in this city, is
meeting with large success, not only
because ot its true merits, but also be
cause it is conducted by Dr. 1L W.
Phillips, whose name has been so
familiar, and who has been so highly
and justly esteemed by the readers of
agricultural journals for many years.
Our tarmere need just such a monthly
as he knows how to furnish them
one particularly suited to our own
latitude, in the hands of an expe
rienced, practical Southern planter,
of the requisite talents and personal
worth. We have been familiar with
the productions of Dr. Phillips from
our boyhood, and have always found
them eminently instructive and ser
viceable. The Northern periodicals
suit the more Northern latitudes. But
we need one adapted to our own, and
the experience of Dr. Phillips en
ables him to furnish the desideratum
which these publications do not so
well supply to our farmers. In the
days of slavery and huge cotton
making, the planters run their opera
tions in the old worn ruts, and paid
little attention to the science of agri
culture, and were especially neglectful
of stock raising, the cereals, fruits,
vegetables, and everything but cotton.
We hope now that the time has come
when they will take the sound advice
which the Doctor has been urging on
them for so many years, and remem
ber that greater attention to stock,
grain and other matters Than they
have heretofore given will make them
individually more independent and
happy, as well as more wealthy. The
South has made hundreds of millions
annually, for the benefit of other peo
ple. Notwithstanding its immense
production for export, it has not
grown rich so fast as agricultural sec
tions, which made little which MM
not consumed at borne. This policy
has always been denounced by intelli
gent men, but the planters saw large
round sums of money in their cotton
crop-, and w ere proud to make up the
largest count of bales for market, and
rivalry has made them not only blind
to argument, but even blind to the
fact that the surplus of those who
made everything yield to cotton wa
less than that of such as provided
meat and bread lavishly as the lirst
thiug to be considered. What argu
ment and the demonstrations of ex
perience could not do heretofore, the
turn which events have lately taken
ma j now enforce. The rivalry in cot
ton production no longer exists, and
mm are making a closer count, and
becoming satisfied with operations on
a smaller scale. Overgrown planta
tions arc no more, and the MMttJ
of life are now mure attended to. And
by this process the country will grow
more populous which means more
wealth, more comfort and more
power. Tuc views of Dr. Phillii
as an agricultural writer, were, thirty
years ago, unheeded to a great ex
tent, a in advance of his time. But
their practical importance is now con
ceded. Men sre beginning to learn
that a selfish policy, adverse to the
good of the State, is unprofitable to
individuals; and that the first stage
on the road to wealth is the road to
independence at home. It is in that
way that we have the largest surplus.
on private intelligence from the Sec
retary was made openly, and it was
said that, had not the plans of the
combination been discovered, thfe ma
jority of the brokers would have been
caught in the trap, and would have

power, but subject to Oengress, which
may take away all its powers whatso
ever, except in the cases specifically
enumerated in the Constitution. He
treats it as absurd that the Court
should unmake, by declaring void,
laws which it had not the power to
make, and practically make itseli the
sovereign by its own decisions. He
confesses the weight of high authority
ifjainst him, and the many prece
dents, and long settled usage, and
constant acquiescence of the govern
ment and people against his view.
But, the Radical necessities having
set him to thinking in that direction,
he has come to the conclusion that the
received idea as to the power of the
Supreme Court to declare ny law of
Congress unconstitutional, and there
by render it inoperative is a "hoary
error." He finds no such power in the
Constitution a power to expound and
interpret, but none to annul a
law of Congress. He consents that
a law impairing the obligation
of contracts, a bill of attainder,
or ex past facto law, would be uncon
stitutional, and therefore void. But
he denies that the Court, in the exer
cise of the Judicial powers conferred
by the Constitution, can lawfully de
clare it so. If such a case (which he
holds impossible) should be presented,
he thinks it would be the beginning of
a revolution by Congress, which the
Supreme Court would be powerless to
resist,' and therefore should not he pre
sumed to have been intended by the
framers of the
vested with authority to control. The
Congress of the United States being
composed of sworn men, is not, he
thinks, to be suspected of violating
the organic law, and, in passing laws,
has a better right to determine their
constitutionality than the court. The
Constitution does not look to the Ju
diciary, but to Congress to support the
Constitution.
The presentation of these radi
cal and revolutionary views at
this time, sustained, as it is
to be feared they are, by a ma
jority of Congress, is alarming enough.
It is hard to conjecture what Congress
may do next or rather what it may
not do. The blow now proposed is to
be struck suddenly, unexpectedly,
and without an expression on the part
I the people: When the deed is
done, then, in pursuance of the usual
Badieal tactics, the party will be
called on to sustain it for the sake of
the party, and such support will be
;'ivtn, until the iniquitous organiza
tion ha? readied the end of its tether.
The leaders will art after the fashion
of those here, who sprung " universal
-ufl'rage," and when the people were
surprised by the astouuug claim,
called on them to sustain such action
for the sake of " peace " or as in the
case of Pennsylvania, when negro
suffrage was inflicted against the will
of the people of the State, the party
was called on to submit for the sake of
its prestige and leaders " for the good
of the party." These events will end
in despotism or in a return to honest
and genuine democratic policy.
The Constitution of the I uitedStates
says the Judicial power shall be
vested in one Supreme Court, and
shall extend to all cases in law and
equity arising under the Constitution,
the laws of the United States, and the
treaties made under -their authority,
if Congress can limit or control the
exercise of this power, so can the Ex
ecutive as well, and the President
may carry out the Constitution, not
iike Jackson (" as I understand it "),
but like Congress, as I will it. The
issue is upon us, and the result will
show whether there is any longer a
shield for the rights of the private cit
izen against tyrannical acts of legisla
tion, or military arrest and punish
ment, at the will of a single man.

Very great excitement exists here,
occasioned by the arrest and trial of
Rev. D. J. G. White, of Jacksonville,
111., charged with delivering a lecture
to which an admission fee was re
quired, at the Presbyterian Church.
"The same being neither historical,
scientific nor literacy, but vulgar and
oliscene," and, therefore, in violation
of a city ordinance.
Dr. White is a well known and very
bitter opponent of the Roman Catho-.
lie Church. Jia came here several

and Dr. White was discharged amid
shouts of applause by an excited and
deeply interested audience.
At the conclusion of the trial Dr. .
White gave notice that he would re-)
peat the lecture on which the provo-'
cation was based, at the Presbyterian
Chuck, this evening, and invited the
public to attend free of charge. At an ',
early hour the church was densely j
packed with men only, and Dr. White
repeated his very severe charges :
against the Roman priesthood, and j
supjKrted them by citations from J
Catholic books. He commented on
the attempt that had been made to j
punish him for exercising the right of i
tree speech, and stated that threats of j
personal violence had been made
against him to-day. The result of the
trial and lectures is a revival of the
anti-Catholic feeling of Know-nothing
times, with much of its former inten

London, December 17. The Ala-

public attention. 1 iiitoriciu publishes
along communirtition in the 7imt.,
wherein he assfrt European States
refused to consider Mr. Jefferson
lavis and Kobert E. Lee

France long before refused to do so in
regard to Benjamin Franklin. The
analogy in cases of St. James and

thence goes on to draw obvious infer

the proposal will be accepted. We
must add, it would be Useless to nego

side is prepared to enter on negotia

MISCELLANEOUS.
On Monday last the following MO
of (Senator Drake was taJven up and
discussed in the Senate. It is wore
outspoken than that of Svmner, and
is a blow at the Constitution, designed
to render Oonjrress absolutely su
preme. It is as follows:
A bill further to define and regulate the
Jurisdiction and powers ot the Courts of
the United Stale.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Represeniatitee oj the L niled Mate of rnttroj..
America in (Xinare assembled. That no i
court created by an act of Congress, or
Judge thereof, shall have power in any
case to adjudge or hold any act or Joint

or lb p

aeu want ot authority in
o for the same; nor shall
riadiction of the Supreme
lited Stales be construed
at court, in any caae now
after brought before it, to
r, judgment, or decree oi
uted States court, or of
i, which shall apoar to
upon any such adjudging
eery such order, judg
shall for that cause be re
and annulled; nor shall
aid Supreme Court, in
he exercise of such appel
, make auy order, or au
1 auy writ or process, or
ling based upon anv such
adjudgiug or holding by him or by the
said Supreme Court.
That is bold enough to be entitled
to all prais- - disguising nothing.
And the arumt nt which the Senator
made on that day, in its support, lacks
nothing of the same frankness. When
this subject was first moved, at the
present session of Congress, it was by
a bill of Scmnei', which was wore
in disguise, and attewpted the same
ohjt-ct by preventing case reaching
the Supreme Court, as follows:
Be if enacted, etc.. That all appellate ju
risdiction of the Supreme Court of the
Coiled States in causes or proceedings
. .. i.- ij -.-ii f.v ihe writ ot babess -rpu
la hereby repealed and abolished.
si - n 11 And be if further enacted.
That this act shall take effect from and
after its passage.
The bill of Scmneh will be remem
bered published in theAPPEALa few
days since. Th
partisan in the Republican interest.
This fact would seem to render the
action of Congress unnecessary to its
present purposes. But the determina
tion to wake thorough work u all the
more evident from it. Congress will
do its work fearlessly and not by indi
rection, and by appointments of
Judges who may afterwards fail
them.
To our mind, from all these circuw
stanecs, and frow the recommenda
tion not to reduce the taxes, and to
keep up the numerical force of the
army, the indications are favorable to
a continuance of military rule, rather
than to an end of it. There is uo other
reason apparent to us for legislation to
assert the powers of Congress, or to
the judicial power of the
country. The movement is aggres--ive,
revolutionary and dangerous. It
bodes augmentation of present des
potic Hiwcr. II it does not alarm the
country, the people will submit to it.
alleged uniair assistance was a strict
observance of neutrality.
It is plain that satisfactory relations
between the two countries cannot be
restored until we understand and re
spect the craving of the Americans for
-yiiipathy, and they understand the
difficulties of our situation as impar
tial by-standers. injured by a war in
which we felt bound to abstain from
interference. We shall never arrive
at the restoration of friendship if we
bgin in the spirit of pettifogging at
torneys. American writers and
statesmen way remember with ad- j
vantage that our blood is after all not I
very different from theirs. English- j
men have susceptibilities as well as
Americans. It is not probable we i
shall be drawn toward the Americans
by the suggestion that we are insin- j
cere and bent on hoodwinking those
with whom we profess to be dealing '
openly.

Xnv York, DeCMDbte 17. There

; smaller cak, of that of September 1
last. The intended operations of
Uoutweil have been variously report
ed, aud much distrust has been felt j
! concerning his policy for several 'lays ;
'past. A combination va- formed to :
play upon the rumor in circulation, 1
: and to keep the price of jrold up on i
the strength of them. This worked
j satisfactorily until yesterday, when it i
became geuerally known among the i
j leading goM speculators how is not '
I known that the bids on Government j
; gold to-day would not be aecepUd at
the ruling market tigures. The bulls
now became bears, and large quauti- :
Um of gold were thrown on the mar-
ket tins morning. Transactions in !
the gold room vitimeiced earlv. and
i the process of bearing gold iu order
to obtain the Government gold at as
; low a figure as possible commenced.
I At noon there was a general rush for
j the sub-treasury where a latger crowd
had soon assembled, larger than has
j ever gathered since the sales of Gov
ernment gold commenced. Bids ag

Rills are now jending in both
houses requesting the return of all new
State bonds yet unsold to the treasury,
to be reissued only by installments as
needed by the railroads. These bills
have been postponed over the holi
tl.tys. A bill is pending, however,
and will pass, calling in the unconsti
tutional bonus Issued to th Chatham
railroad, and fraudulently sold, but
providing that the innocent holders of
them shall receive iu lieu thereof
bonds held by the State on that road.
A resolution was jassed yesterday
; in the Senate and will probably pass
in tne nouse oruertug uie railroad
presidents to sell no more State bonds
at less than seventy-five per cent.
There are general and wide spread ru
. mors that the bonds appropriated
for railroad purposes havw 1een mis
applied and fraudulently used, and
that the persons implicated are shun
ningan investigation. This occasions
; much feeling, and repudiation is
openly tnreatened.
