in consequence the curiosity regarding

THE CO .WITT VI ION'A I. AMENDMENT.
After an unusual display of hesita
tion and reluctance on the part of both
Houses of Congress, the constitutional
amendment is now passed finally.—
The text of the bill is as follows:
Be it resolved, <fcc., Two-thirds of both
Houses concurring, that the following
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States be submitted to the leg
islatures of thescveral States, and when
ratified by three-fourths thereof, it shall
be a part of said Constitution.
Art. 15.—The right of the citizens of
the United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States or by any State Yin account of
race or color, or previous condition of
servitude.
Sec. 2. The Cpngress shall have pow
er to enforce this article by appropri
ate legislation.
It will now go out to the legislatures
of all the states for ratification. The
approval of three-fourths of them is
requisite. This will require the radi
cals to control twenty-eight State leg
islatures. They have at this time not
more than twenty six in their power,
ami of these, there are several which
cannot now be fully relied on to adopt
the amendment. The radicals in Ne
vada will not ratify unless they have
the assurance that Congress shall so
exercise the power conceded in the
second section, as to exclude the Chi
nese from suffrage.
And now this measure which yields
to the general government complete
and exclusive control over the entire
question of the qualification of voters,
comes before the Pennsylvania legisla
ture for ratification. It robs, in one
sweeping line, every state of the U
nion of the dearest privilege which it
can own. Without this power over
the queslion of suffrage, the States will
cease to exist as members of the Amer-
ican Union, and become mere provin
ces subject to the authority of the gov
ernment at Washington. A national
registry law will follow rapidly on the
heels of this ratification, and swarms
of federal officers will take the places
of the local assessors, just as the govern
ment collectors and assessors of reve
nue usurp the places of the old State
officers. This amendment will not
leave to the State legislatures the poor
privilege of fixing the times and pla
ces of holding elections, Congress ex- i
ercising complete power over every
subject pertaining thereto. It is need- |
less to argue that this amendment will
subject the people of Pennsylvania to
the power of strangers in the manage
ment of their domestic affairs. The
carpet-bag governments of Florida and
Arkansas, such rotten borough States
as Kansas, Minnesota, and Nevada,
and breeches pocket States like Ver
mont, New Hampshire and Rhode Is
land, are relied on by the radicals to
impose this measure of iniquity upon
the great States of New York, Penn
sylvania and (>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. Democrat*, wait u iittie lon

THE VELOCIPEDE
mania lias not yet broken out. 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 !

All morning'it has been coming thick
and fast. The lindens and pines are

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.

OOM-REUIO.VAI..
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.
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.—

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

I have had no Rheumatism during the

I want to rouse each sleepy head,
Who stand upon the brink,
Where yawning guifs disclose the dead,
Who might, but did not, think.
1 want to warn the living ones
Who blindly grope along,
Ye fathers, daughters, mothers, sons,
What perils round you throng '
Look out, my reader, are you free,
Or do you wear the mark '
Most all aru blind and cannot sec,
Yea, groping in tbe dark.
Catarrh, a demon in the head.
Consumption is its son ;
Kills hosts, yea, countless millions, dead.
Perhaps you may be one.
That backing, hawking, spitting, shows,
Catarrh effects your bead.
Matter and slime in throat or nose,
Runs down your throat instead
Your lungs and liver soon will show,
Consumption has its birth ;
Catarrh, its sire, will feed it too,
'Till you return to eartb.
If colds affect your bead and throat,
A.NNIHILATOR buy;
Now don't forget what I have wrote,
Or think this subject dry.
WOLCOTT'S ANSIHILATOR cures
Catarrh —the demon Hies ;
It saves the lungs , good health insures.
And Catarrh quickly dies.
I want to gratify my friends,
Who wish to understand
About PAIS PAIXT, its use, its ends,
And why its great domaud.
I want to show you. plain as day,
Why PAIS PAIST stops all pain,
That you may never have to say
"I'll not try paint again."
PAIS PAIST will cool but never stain ;
Pumps inflammation out ;
'Tis harmless on the breast or brain,
A trial stops ail doubt.
When inflammation leaves the frame,
All pain will cease at once ;
Remove the cause, 'tis all the same ;
None doubts unless a dunce.
The pores will ope and drink PAIS PAIST ;
Absorbents fill with ease ;
Restores tbe weak, the sick, the faint,
The greatest skeptic please
Evaporation cools the place
As inflammation flies;
Hot blood at the absorbent's base
Makes PAINT In vapor rise.
Tis thus PAIN PAINT removes all doubt,
Removes the very cause
By pumping inflammation out:
On this we rest our cause.
Wolcott's Pain Paint is sold at all Drug Stores ;
also, Wolcott's Annihilator, for the cure of Ca
tarrh ana Colds in the head. Sent by express on
receipt of the money, at Ist Chatham Square. N.
