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 suitereu severely. it this course is FOR THE HOLIDAYS. the Government, and things will go to general smash very soon."

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. New Circuit Judges have already been Terre Haite, Ixd., December 17. 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 day- ago jPPelivered a course of lectures ugMKrt K manism ending with a paid lecture to men only, which he advertised through the press in a card, of which the following is the conclusion : "As to the reverend Roman clergy, we hereby give due notice ttiat their secret theology will be handled to night without gloves. That fathers, husbands and brothers shall know what transpires in the confessional un der the seal of ' eternal secresy,' and under the penalty of endless damna tion, and 1 hereby challenge any ac credited priest or bishop to deny over his own signature that the books are genuine and the facts now exist.

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 sity. ALABAMA QUESTION.

READ. 1 M " HIDES AND LEATHER. e t CO rO O CO 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 retftoiuliou ot 1'oiigreas invalid, in whole or lb p bttwet the Co for an aid C the api irt, for an v :t or j Ot Illf Ian u and a, or athi in any n any ( have t or ho. i thj tk duv ord Lienor I 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. BONDS.
