Site Teijfovt] o I'rida) Morning:. Tarpli 5. REVISION hio, possessing ten times the population. Wfien the act of des potism shall be accomplished, the rep resentatives in Congress from these petty States will have it in their pow er to prescribe the very conditions <>f existence to the great States. In Pennsylvania, it is by no means certain that this amendment will be adopted. It will have to be done now, for no succeeding legislature will bo entrusted by the people with the power to transfer their rights to the general government. If the present legisla ture ratify it, the act will be as fraud ful an exercise of power as radicalism has yet ventured on. Its members were not chosen with reference to the question of this important amendment. Many of them owe their seats to stur dy denials that the subject of suffrage would be agitated. If they shall dare now to support this amendment, they will stand self-convicted of trea son to their constituents, and of the violation of the mos solemn duties tiiey owe as representatives. Every meuilier of the legislature who shall vote to ratify this admendment, will vote to invite the people of the rest of the States to meddle in the most delicate and important con cerns of Pennsylvania. He will sol emnly vote to deprive her of the rights, power and dignity which she has al ways possessed in the government.— By his vote he deliberately proposes to subvert the present form of govern ment by taking from the States a high prerogative which they were careful to retain in the Constitution. If the proposition now made had been sub mitted to the Convention of 1787, it would have been impossible to form a Union of the States. Every citizen who has studied the early history of the government knows this. The man who shall vote now to ratify this amendment, proposes to destroy the government as it was framed by the patriotic fathers of the republic.— The people of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania await with thrilling interest the result in the Pennsylvania legislature. IT is ascertained that it is not neces sary for Grant to reiigu his position as general before becoming President.— The generalship becomes vacant im mediately upon his being sworn in as President* the latter being regarded | merely as a military promotion. The jealousies of the Radical leaders p rtend the certain disruption of their puriy.

We mean that it is still confined to back yards and alleys, where, no doubt, many ludicrous scenes are enacted. Don't you know that we have a train ing school here for velocipedists? and we opine that by summer you will see Bvcyeles issue forth in any number, and then you will see what you will see. Only think of a witch on a broom stick and then you will have an idea of a bycycle; but how to preserve the equilibrium is about as easy as to pro pel through the air. And when they do come, what will we do? Won't there be a commotion among goat carts and baby wagons, and those tim id pedestrians who have such luge ex tremities attached to very thin abdom inal supporters? We anticipate al ready an increased police force for the purpose of picking up fragments of things smashed generally. It is a for tunate thing that the ladies are out of this arrangement, for they do some effectual smashing in another direction to which we make no particular ob jections. We believe they can do this much better than some other things of which STUMPING is not one. Some time ago we dropped in on an Anti-Slavery meeting in the Assembly Building. It was a motley crowd, from the deepest ebony, through all the various shades, up. The dress varied from the old brown scoop bon net to the latest frizzling. Lueretia Mott was speaking. She is an inter esting little lady, but as a speaker she is vapid. She harped on the same old stringall through. Then followed an old lady in cap and spectacles who, in a very sharp and piercing tone, said that Mrs. Mott and Wendell Phillips both knew that the Anti-Slavery Society origina ted in a Woman's Bights' movement, and they should not be afraid to main tain it. We left before Philips con eluded, but do not suppose he was afraid of that or any other heresy. In all candor, the next plaee to the Fish market for woman is the stump ; she divests herself thereby of all those re fining graces which make her, in our eyes, one of "God's created best." THE 22ND was observed Very generally. Banks, offices and public works were closed, Hags were flung to the breeze, and va rious societies with bands of music paraded the streets. A salute of thirty seven guns was fired at Broad and Market at sunrise. The day was mel low and hazy, and the fashionable streets crowded with promenaders. It is a significant fact that the birth day of Lincoln was passed over with but a single demonstration; while that of Washington still stirs the patriotic blood of the nation. Time proves all tilings. At night Senater Hendricks address ed a full house at the A eademy of Mu sic in a masterly oration. His subject was, "George Washington"—not Gen eral Washington. In our day if you take away that prefix, there would he very little left. MURDOCH gave readings at Morton Hall last night. We confess to the great anxiety we had to hear him ; and altho' we put our expectation very high, he went over it as much higher as the moon is above a church spire. The programme was varied from "grave to gay, from lively to severe." His rendering of "The Vagabonds," by Trowbridge, was the most exquisite piece of hu mor and pathos, and drew tears from every eye. They tell nr.e he has lost none of his original vigor and fire; and we believe, off the stage, he has no peer in the land. May his star never de cline ! SNOWING. All morning'it has been coming thick and fast. The lindens and pines are bonding under the fleecy load, and the birds are hopping in wonder under the piazza. We light up our "Globe Smoker," and intend to settle down for a whole day in the house. Yours, Ac., LINDEN. Congress lias appropriated $30,000 to relieve the "poor"—negroes—of Wash ington. Dirty, lousy, idle and starving, they crowd the galleries of the eapitol from day to day, listening to the har rangues of their white allies. They ought to be paid $30,000 for listening to such stuff. THE present Congress has appropri ated $l,lOO for furnishing itself with soap and combs at the expense of the people. The appropriation seems to concede that they are a rather dirty and lousy set, and if fourteen hundred dollars would keep them clean, it is cheap.

THE LADY'S FRIEND FOR MARCH.— The March number of this "Queen of the Monthlies," opens with a fine steel engraving called "In the Firelight"— where fireside dreams are taking vis ible but etherial shapes. This is fol lowed by the usual handsome colored steel fashion plate, and by an amusing engraving of "Half an Hour too Early" (at the party). Then we have the usual large number of engravings devoted to the fashions, needle work, Ac. The literary contents are, as usual, of the nmst entertaining character.

The Senate by a vote of 36 to 14 re fused to take up the tenure-of-othee bill and then agreed to the House proposi tion for a conference committee on the joint resolution relating to the constitu tional amendment. The bill to incor porate the National Junction railway, the bill to amend the judicial system of the United States, and the bill to amend thecivil rights act, were passed. The House by a vote of 115 to 56, passed the copper tariff bill over the President's veto. Majority and mi nority reports were made by the select committee to whom was referred tiie subject of the alleged New York elec tion frauds. A Bill reported by the majority to prevent future frauds was passed. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. The Senate, by a vote of 88 to 12, passed over the President's veto the bill in relation to the tariff ou copper. The House having previously passed it over the veto, it is now a law. A joint resolution was adopted authoriz ing the committee on printing to eon tract with the proprietors of the Wash ington Globe for printing the debates of Congress for the next two years, and appropriating so much of the sum of 1350,000 as may he necessary to carry out the contract. The army appropria tion bill was then taken up and various amendments agreed to, among them one to reduce the army to thirty-five regiments of infantry, and the number of brigadier generals to eight. in the House, Mr. Schenck's bill to strengthen the public credit, &c., was passed by a vote of lit) to 61. It pledges the faith of the United States to pay in coin or its equivalent all the interest-bearing obligations, and pro vides that any contract hereafter made specifically payable in coin shall be legal and valid, and may be enforced according to its terms. The House has refused to second a motion of Mr. Coburn, of Indiana, to ask a commit tee of conference on the disagreeing votes of the two houses on the bill amending the national currency act. The two Houses, at the sessions last night, passed a number of bills mostly of an unimportant character. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. The Senate passed the House bill to exempt the manufacturers of naval machinery from internal taxation.— The consideration of the army appro priation bill occupied most of t lie re maining part of the day. Nothing of general interest was transacted at the evening session. In the House a bill to establish a uniform system of nickel copper pieces of five cents and under was passed.— Mr. Boutwell submitted the report of the conference committee on the suf frage amendment to the constitution. The report declares that right to vote shall not be denied by reason of race, color or previous condition of slavery. The report was agreed to by the neces sary two-thirds. The report of the conference committee on tlie consular and diplomatic appropriation bill was called up, and after dabate disagreed to, and a new conference committee asked for. The legislative appropri ation bill was next taken up and a mendiuents adopted increasing the pay of male and female clerks, and other government employees in Washing ton. At the evening session the annual post office appropriation hill was pass ed. THE CUBA TROUBLES.— The rebel lion in Cuba does not seem to be pros pering. The great military and naval resources at General Dulce'scommand, and the skill of his management, are apparently beginning to get the better of the rebellion. There must be now, including volunteers, an army of more than sixty thousand men under the command of the Captain General, though it must be admitted that the volunteers give him almost as much trouble as the enemy. The ferocity of these truly loyal men, everywhere ex cept in the field, is almost irrepressible by the combined military power and characteristic tact of General Dulce. These holiday soldiers are howling for blood, while the real soldier, the man whose profession is war, has to muzzle their forty jaws and inculcate prudence, self-restraint, deliberation and fraternal feeling. Cawardice and cruelty go hand-hi-bacd, and, except for garrison duty, we apprehend that General Dude would find his volun teers rather an incumbrance than an aid in the present contest. It is to he hoped that he will persist in his an nounced purpose to effect the pacifica tion of the island within the limits of the law. It will be wise in him to extend the utmost clemency to the rebels, consid ering the real grievances under which Cuba has suffered, the danger of ren dering permanently disaffected and vindictive an element of the popula tion which has shown itself possessed of so much strength as the rebellion has developed, and also by the reflec tion that the government against which Cuba has revolted Is itself a re bellion, and a rebellion mostly carried on by the military class to which Gen. Pa lee belongs, and which, therefore, ought to lmve some toleration for thosa who adopt that mode of redressing grievances. Gen. Dulce, it appears, has declared that he counts on the sympathy and moral aid of the United States, and Madrid cable dispatches of February 22d represent the press of Spain as urging upon the provisional government the necessity ol preserving the friendship of this country. The most efficient means of effecting that object is by adopting towards the Cu bans a policy of conciliation and clem ency, for the sympathies of our people are universally with the insurgents.— Bait. Sun. Two men, named Joseph Yates and Thomas Turner, were instantly killed by the explosion of a powder mill at Hazardville, Conn., on Thursday. Gen. Grant's salary a.- ; . ,-idem will be nine thousand dollars more per an num than his present pay. THE rOMTK'IAKK AM) (IEXERAL (iRAST'S AHI\:NT. Says the Baltimore Sun, since the announcements made on Wednesday last, that General Grant had determin ed to select one rnem lair of his cabinet from Pennsylvania, and had let fall such words also as led to suppositions in regard to the probable man, his pre vious apprehensions have been well confirmed that if he should beforehand indicate any intended member of his cabinet, he would be beset by poli ticians in the interest of others whom they desire in preference to those of his own choice. Several accounts have been given of the interviews of Pennsylvania republican partisans with the President elect, all agreeing mainly as to the character of those in terviews. Of what occurred between Colonel McClure, chairman of the Pennsylvania republican State com mittee, and General Grant on the day following the announcement, when the former undertook to urge Governor Curtain as the man most fit to be Penn sylvania's representative, we have ap parently pretty minute statements,- Col. McClure undertook not only to dictate to General Grant who should not be the cabinet member from Penn sylvania, but pointed out how "the good of the party" required a promi nent politician to be appointed. The reply of General Grant, as given through a republican source, is worthy to bo recorded in letters of gold : "I am not the representative of a politi cal party myself, although a party voted for me." The country may be congratulated upon the expression of such sentiment by the incoming Presi dent, and the radicals of the nation ought to feel jubilant and grateful that they have been the honored, though unconscious instrumentality of secur ing such a blessing to the republic.— It is even possible that in electing General Grant they may have been the means of expiating some of their innumerable political offences, by plac ing in the executive chair a Paesident who will "let us have peace" sure enough. What a glorious effulgence they will behold on the 4th of March, the setting sun of Andrew Johnson and the rising sun of General Grant raised to the firmament by their own power, and both ihining in their eyes. It may be doubted whether they can see as clearly as usual under such circumstances. But, seriously, what right have they, if General Grant should choose to appoint one not prom inent in politics to his cabinet, to com plain on the ground that he is not an extremist, when that was the very ground on which they nominated General Grant himself? Why did they throw overboard all the "active republicans" at that time, and take General Grant, and then blame Gener al Grant, because he follows their im maculate example? MR. JACOBSCIIEETZ —Sir: I cannot refrain from expressing my entire con-, fidence in the curative powers of your "Celebrated Bitter Cordial." I admin istered it to my child eighteen months old, for Bowel Complaint; to my neighbors' children for pains in the stomach and other ailment; to my a dult friends for Diarrhoea, with aston ishing cures. I was dreadfully paraly zed, and for two years suffered severe ly with Rheumatism. After using all the talked of cures without relief, and becoming satisfied that the kidneys is the centre from which Rheumatism emanates, I made a IP m stand a gainst all liquors particularly malt, and used your renowned Herb or Bit ter Cordial exclusively ; the result is— I have had no Rheumatism during the winter last past, notwithstanding its severity and many changes.
