Johnson, the recently appointed col- lector of customs st Philadelphia, called upon Col.

When the wind is raw outside, driving the visttors to the shel- ter of the Tip-Top House, and the thawing warmth of its big stove, the sources of entertainment within that stone hotel are not extensive or varied: consisting of a dilapidated copy of Byron, 4 back-gammon board, and a set of photographic views. The latter, however, served an excellent purpose later im the day. The sunset came off accord. ing to programme, but the weather continued so Taw that several chilly subjects in the party found it vastly more comfortable to stay in doors by the roaring fire and examine the phe- tographic views of “Sunset from the top of Mount Washington.” The remarks of the spectaters who weathered the nipping air for the suke of the spectacle, were not altogether enthusiastic. A Western geptleman thonght it did not compare with the sunsets on Lake Ontario, and @ honeymoon conple from New Jersey held that it was by no means so gor. geous &s those to be seen over the Passaic Meadows, where they had Probably done their courting. Among the incidents of the day was the ar. rival of a lady walking up from the Crawford House, and winning thereby a bet of 850, made with her husband: and the subsequent ap- pearance of a fast young gentleman who reg- istered himself as having walked up from the Glen House in 50 minutes, backwards, The register at the Tiptop House, by the way, af- fords noend of curions journalistic notes on the part of enthused or disgusted visitors. At night people went ont to see the lights in Portland harbor, and to watch the rise of great fog-seas, filling up the vatiies between the sombre mountains, making a magic transtor- mation of the landsespe. That night we slept in comfortable but not spacious quarters un. der the sloping roofs of our stone house, and at 5 ip the morning were summoned by a bell to turm out to see the mountain sunrise. The air was calm and comparatively cloudless, and not so cold, even at thatearly hour, as to cause physical discomfort to mar the enjoyment of the scene. The changing atmospheric effects were unusvally fine—the air having been cleared by the late heavy rains—but they have been described so often as not to stand a new and gratuitous “notice” in the busy columns of the Star. My experiences of the day served, however, to dispel the notion that the tempera. ture is always uncomfortably low on the top of Mt. Washington. It continued almosta dead calm and nearly cloudless, the weather being so warm that the slight crispness given to the air by @n occasional quickening of its pulse was by no mesns disagreeable. The men employed about the stable were in their sbirtsleeves. The air, as already mentioned, having been cleared of smoke by the late rains, was unusually transparent in all directions, @nd not only could all the remarkable features of the immense sweep of landscape and water- scape below be seen distinctly, but ali could be seen in one comprehensive panoramic view, Undisturbed by the almost inevitable shower, squall, or lowering cloud that in more than six days out of the seven, breaks in to destroy the completeness of the panoramic circuit. For hundreds of miles in every direction lay extended a billowy sea of mountains, mountain ranges, and hbiils, the higher wave-crests of which sea were such peaks as Adams, Jeffer- son, Madison, Katahdin, Chocurna, Kearsarge: the Fraficonia Summits, and the Green Monn. tains. They lay on that calin Sabbath morning bathed in a soft warm sunshine, tempered by the slightest, most transparent yeil of blue haze, solemnly still, enjoying a Sunday of their own—a Sunday of Mountain Monarchs. 1 had a monopoly of the show. Notasignof human life was visible. Visitors at Niagara Falls haye noticed the su- preme indifference of the citizens to rainbows, with which over famisiarity has bred con- tempt, and that in crossing the Tiver, (ferry,) they are apter than not to turn their backs to the great fall. The people of the Mountain Top seem, also, to have out-grown all senti- ment, and run their mountain show purely as matter of business. Business being dull on Sunday mornings, they. too, turn their backs on the exhibition. Theover. night party at the Top House bad gone down to the valley; no accessions had been received uring the morn. ing to supply their place. The American Tel- egtaph man (who hasa fanny littie hen-coop ofice on the summit) had gone down the moun- tain side to look for a break in his insulation whereby Various messages from parties at the Gien House tw the Crawford House, on the ovher side, ordering horses tobe sent to meet them at the Sumn had hung fire, to the dis- traction of tae parues ‘elegraphing: the ~uam- mit photogray ser. who occupies an uundi- Yided bait” of the afuresaia hen-goop telegraph fice, an + Ousy trade daring the with the Tip-top House as back-ground,) badis the slack of business bantered the good-looking clerk of the Stone Houre to walk down over Mount Monroe to meet the morning party from Crawtora’s; the is@y manager of the ““Dip-top” who comes up thpee tumes a week Yrom’ G to see what prwertsions, &c., abe needed for the hotel in the cipuce Bad gone to the lower worid in her ‘Mart red-whesled wagon, the prety New = WASHINGTON, D. C.. FRIDAY. AUGUST 17. 1866. Hampshire girls who dispense bine-berry pie and raspberry pie and mince-pie, et cetera, for breakfast, dinner and supper at the “"Tip- top,” were not visible, having probably re- tired to some secluded nook of the stone house to tittrivate and adorn their persons for theen- snarement of the coming Crawford guides ana “Tip-top” omnibus drivers, the hostlers at the Summ stable had gone inte the straw for a snooze, and in short, the representative of the Star was monarch of all he The squitrels_red, striped and gray—that, singu- larly enough, choose to burrow amonget the loose stones strewn so thickly on this barren mountain top, come out in numbers, and were the only living objects to be seen in that im- mense sweep of landscape. It was an unique Sunday morning experience for the subscri- ber, Dut at noon the whole appearance of things had changed. A party of twenty from Crawford's, and about the same time the Glen and Alpine Heuse omnibusea come up with their loade by the carriageway. At 3 o'clock the Orawford House guides started on the return trip, and I accom- panied them, as did also a party who came up trom tbe other side per omnibus. For the benefit of unsophistiested tourists, | warn them notte trust to the romancing stories of the writers of the guide-books as to the inevi- tabie sure footedness of the mountain horses, Two of our party were pitched over their borses heads through the stumbling of the an- imals, though from the slow pace at which they creep no great harm was done; and it must be said in praiseof the beasts thatscurvy and spiritiess as they look, they show consid- erable intelligence in avoiding stepping ona prostrate rider. The ascent from Crawtord’s is putdown at eight miles, but the trayeler will place it at nearer tweive. It is probably about ten miles. The first mile of the descent is about as rugged a piece of rocky perpendicular as wasever traveled. After that the path passes over the crests of some ef the lesser flat-topped mountains, Monroe, Clinton, &c., and at inter- vals is sufficiently level to beguile the trayel- er into the belief that the worst is over; but the last five miles of broken corduroy and stones» slippery with moisture trom the springy ground, serves to dispel the pleasing illusion | And then the black flies of Mount Clinton and the Saco valley! It is conceded to bea task requiring some patience to carry half a dozen stemiecs pumpkins and a roll ef sole-leather @ny distance with peas in your shoes, anda baker with his arms up to the elbows in dough and @ flea in the leg of his pantaloons is un- doubtedly in a bad fix, but it is a worse dilem- ma, yet, to go down a White Mountain preci- pice with both hands occupied holding “taut,” &@ stumbling pony, and with a swarm of fero- cious black flies pegging away at every biood pore, and half a dozen, particularly enter- prising fellows tickling your nostrils beyond endurance. The view by this route, trayers. ing several mountain tops, is said to be finer in some respect, and more diversified than by the carriage road from the other side, but really one isso much occupied with looking to the safety of his neck and slapping away atthe black flies, or at least making faces at them, that there is precious little time or disposition left for enjoying the view. Arriving at the Crawford House muddy, fiy- bitten and sore in every bone, itis one of the compensations of human life, after a refresh- ing wash, to sit down to a Crawford House supper, with its brook trout, white honey in the comb, sublime White Mountain rolls, cap- ital mountain mutton, &c., &c. The Crawford House is, perhaps, the best kept of the moun- tain houses, bu the guest has te pay for it plumply when the bill comes in The nominal price is $4 per day, (Protile House *4.50,) but there is a set of extras in the shape of --frac- tions” of days, in addition to “halves” and “quarters"—a new inyentien in the way of hotel gouging, that bothers the traveler en- Urely, and sets Dim at once upon the mental calculation how long his pocket-book will stand the strain of mountain travel. The re- sult ofthis hotel sharp practice is that a con- siderable proportion of the mountain tourists Tesort to tarma houses, where, for $1 a day they can live quite comfortably, if not as fashiona- bly as at the hotels, and avoid all the big ex- tras. The hotel people say, with considerable truth, that the mountain season is but a short one,and that they must make hay while the eun shines, The question is, however, whether they would not make more money by doing a larger business at smaller profits, than by the present prices, which compel tne visitor to make his visit 4 fying one. Lt is noticeable that the visitors at the moun- tam houses this year stop but a few hours at each house. Not one of the hotels have prob. ably been half fnil at the busiest time of the season. Now, by putting the price at a mod- erate one, and cutting off the gouging extras, these hotels could propably keep their rooms filled with permanent guests for the season: and a full season could be made from the jst of June to the 20ch of September. Tie bieea- ing process carriedon by the stage lines be- tween the meuntain houses ts also very much to the disadvantage of the hotels. Charging $1 for carrying & child six miles, $2 for carry- ing a carpet bag 20 miles, and 84 for carrying & passenger the same distance, is among the swindies ty the stage folks that serve to di gust the tourist and make him ready to for- swear mountain travel forever more. The Crawford House occupies a position serving to make it in many respects the most attractive Of the mountain resort, Standing centrally oetween the White Mountains and Franconia Mountains, and at the gateway of the Notch. and butashort distance from the Willey House and slide. ‘When we rose this morning, somewhat stif and sore from our perpendicular experiences of yesterasy coming down from the Summit, we fonnd the morning party for Mount Wash- jngton, via the Crawtord bridi¢ path, gathering at the outlet of that path in front of the Craw- fcrd House, to the number of about twenty jadies and cavaliers, mounted Upon the sleepy, fagged-out looking animals used for that pur- prs:. They were sammoned to the start by the ipspiriting strains of a band, and as the gay party Set out, gushingly cheerful, and strack inw the shades of their fragrant dewy forest path, everything Jooked lovely: but Ill bet they got the romance taken out of ‘em pretty effectually about the third mile of corduroy and black-flies!

The Government of the ! States acted throughout the waron thedefensive. it sought only to hold of what was already its own. Neither the war nor the victory by whieb it was ended changed any way the Constitution of the United St: The war ‘Was carried on by v e of its provisions and under the limitatic: hich they prescribed, and the result of the war did not eithereni: abridge, or in any way change or affect the powers it confers upon the Federal Govern- mer:t or release that Government from the re- strictions which it has imposec The Constitetion of the United States is to- day precisely as it was before the war—the suprei law of the land, anything in the con- stitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. And to-day also, precisely as before the war, all the powers not conferred by the Constitution upon the General Gove-n- ment, ror prohibited by :t to the States, are reserved to the sey ral St or to the peopte thereof. 1s has been proclaimed by Congress that in addition to the powers conferred upor it by the Constitution, the Federal Government may now claim over the States and the territory, and the people involved in the insurrection, the rights of war—right of conquest aud of confiscation, the right to abregate all existing governments, instiintions, and laws, and to subject the territory conquered and its inhabi- tants to such terms and regulations as the leg- islative department of the (Jovernment may see fit to impose, under the broad and sweep- ing claim that the clause of the Constitution which provides that no State shall without its consent be deprived of ite equal suffrage in the Senate of the United States has been an- Bulled; and States have been refused, and are still refused, representation altogether in both branches of the Federal Oongress; and the Congressin which oniys of ihe States And of the people of the Union are represented bas asserted the right to exclude from Yepresentation and from ali share in making their own laws “nd choosing their own rulers, unless they shall comply with such condition and perform such acts as this Oongress, thus composed, miay itself prescribe. That right bas not only been as- serted, tit has been exercised, and is prac. tically enforced at the presenttime. Nor does it find any support in the cry that “be States thus excladed are in rebellion against the Gov- ernment, and are therefore preciuded from sharing its authority. They are not thus in Tebvilion. They are one and ali in an attitude of loyalty towards the Government, and of sworn allegiance to thy Constitution of the United States. In none of them is there the slightest indication of resistance to this anthor- ity, or the slightest protest against its just aud binding obligations. ‘his condition of re- newed loyalty bas been officialiy recognized by solemn prociamation of the Executive De. artment. The jaws of the United States have mn e.tended by Congress over all these States, and the people thereof. courts have been reopened, and Federal taxes im- posed and levied, and in every L, except that they are denied representation in Con- gress and the Electoral College, the States once in rebellion are recognized as bolding the same obligations and subject to the same si as the other States of our common ‘nion. It seems to as, in the exercise of the calmest and most candid judgment we can bring to the subject, such aciaim so enforced invelves as fatal an overthrow of ihe authority of the Con- stitution, and as complete a destruction of the Government snd Union. as that which wa- sought to be eilected by the States and people im armed imeurrection against them. It can- not escape observation, that the power thus asserted to exclude certain States from repre. sentation is made to rest wholly in the will 2nd discretion of the Congress that asserts it. itis not made to depend upon specified con- ditions or circumstances, no: to be subject to any rules or Tegniations whatever. The right asserted and exerci«d is absolut’, without qualification or restriction, not contined to States in rebellion nor to States that have re. belied. tis the mghtof any Congress, in for- mal possession of lezislative authority, to ex- clud+ any State or States, and any portion of the people thereof, at any time, from repre- sentation in Congress, and in the Electoral College, at its own discretion, and until the: sbali perform such acts and com: ly with po conditions as it may dictate. Obviously, the reasons forsuch exclusion being wholly within the diseretion of Cengress, may change us the Congress itself shall change. One Congress may exclude a State from all share in the Government for one reason, and that reason removed. the next Congress may exclude it for another. One State may be ex- cluded on one ground to-day, aud another may be excluded on the opposite ground to-morrow. Worthern ascendency may exclude Southern States from one ascendency of ‘Western or Southern interests, or of both com- bined, may exclude the Northern or the East- ern States from the next. lmprobable as such usurpations may seen, the establishment of the principle now asserted and acted upon by Congress will render them by no means tm- possible. It was agsinst this peril,so con- ecuce And so fatal to all tree SS, that our Constitution was inte: especially to provide. Nor do these extravagant and un- just ciaims on the part of Congress to powers a authority never conferred upon the Gov- peers g the Constitution, find any war- rant in the arguments or excuses urged on their behalf.
