Tbe Passive ol the Constitutional Amend
ment The Prospect of Its Adoption.
The action of the House of Representatives,
yesterday, M adopting the constitutional
Amendment by a' nearly three-fourths vote,
is nothing icore than the fulfilment of a for
gone conclusion, the official declaration of the
sentiments of that body, expressed months
since, by tl.eir appointment of the Joint Com
mittee on Reconstruction. But that It wa
anticipated docs not diminish the satisfaction
with which we hail the result. It- was a
glorious triumph in favor of Northern and
Southern suffrage cquplity, a ratification o
the destruction of that wall of caste which
has enabled the planter to wield an Influence
as far superior to that of the Northern mccha
nic as is that exercised by the Bhuddist der
vises over the Ignorant worshippers of Jug
gernaut. It la an official announcement th.it
the day has arrived when one vote in one
State Is equal and not more powerful than
one vote In another. It is the utterance of the
fiat that the time is past when human beings
not allowed to vote are to be entitled to repre
sentation? that property, In fact, shall be
treated as population, yet at the same time
viewed as cattle by those who wield the poli
tical thunderbolts forged by those whom
contemn.
The effect of tho Constitutional Amend
ment, should it be ratified by the requisite
number of States, will be to Increase the
power of the North, or rather to decrease the
power of the South, In the popular branch of
our National Legislatuie. This, good will b
accomplished, not by any elevation of the
rights of the residents of the free States, but
by the reduction to an equality of those who
have heretofore been upLeld by an unjust and
iniquitous system of apportionment. The ratio
of representation will hereafter be made to
rest on the number of qualified voters, and
not on the size ot the iesident population.
Some three weeks since we advocated the
amendment, although it was then as a motion
of General Scuekck. In an article on the
subject we quoted some figures, which will
probably explain the result of the amendment,
aHjwell as any words we could use:
"Formerly it would have taken 200,030 blacks
te secure one representative, while njw 127,000
are envitled to one, although not oue vote cm
be cast by the whole number wno are reorj
seated. According to tbe census of I860 tho
Southern States were entitled to eighty-tour
members ot Conpress. These eight four mem
bers represented about 1pht million whites,
end three-flf.hs ot tour millions of slaves, or
two million lour hundred thousand slaves. No
the white population would have been entitled
to ?ixt.v-seven members, Ihe remaining seven
teen beintr secured under the constitutional law.
At the pri-seiit time, in plujo ot 2,100,000 blacks
be in i? counted, there will be 4,000,000 who will
be represented by thirty members in the lower
House, or ihey will thus pain thirteen more
members. In fact, the North, in a flush of
gratitude, has forced unon the South thirteen
more members of Concress, as a reward of their
Rebellion. The irult of their treason Is this
acquisition of power, and, should .they be read
mitted, we would have niuely-seveh Southern to
one hundred and forty two Northern representa
tives, or a population numbering but 8,000,000
v bites has nearly as much power as one in
cluding 22,000,000."
Should the amendment be adopted, thi
groPB injustice would be at once remedied
and only by the extension of the tight of suf
frage to the black would the additional repre
sentation be secured. Of the prospects of its
ratification we must speak most favorably
That it will pass the Senate cannot be
doubted, because the assent given by the
Senate portion of the Reconstruction Com
mittee will undoubtedly secure the concur
renee of that body. In a recent conversation
the President signified his favorable considera
tion of the scheme, and its submission to the
Legislatures of the various States will be the
result. 1 hat It will be opposed by all the
South is not an open question. It is an act
to Increase Northern Influence, to do away
witb Southern superiority, and it would
be an act of the wildest folly lor any
Northern State to refuse to remedy an
injustice which has been practised for nearly
a century. There are but twelve Southern
States proper.of which Kentucky and Tennes
see will probably ratify. The vote would
thus stand Ayes, 27 ; nays, 10. The force of
advancement would soon secure the assent of
one more, and the amendment would become
part and portion of the supreme law of the
Isnd.
Having thus given our warm support to the
representation amendment, we here favor the
last Infringement on our Magna Charter, to
to which we will yield advocacy. It 1b, indeed,
too true, as President Johnson says, that
''the motions to Innovate the Constitution are
becoming as numerous as resolutions at a
town meeting." At the time of the adoption
of the Instrument every possible Interest
which might then exist was examined, and
provided for. But, that the framers did not
consider the work immaculate was shown by
the provisions they made lor Us f iture
amendment. The world has moved on in the,
eight decades since that document was framed
New Issues have arisen, and have been pro
vided for. As these new issues arise we will
in the future advocate such infringements as
may be demanded by necessity. There is
none at present existing that has not been
remedied, and hence we shall constantly op
pose any trivial motion made by men who
desire to associate their names with the
moving of an amendment to the Constitution.
To create an Issue where none exists Is worse
than Inexcusable; and hence, having adopted '
all tbe necessary reforms, we shall oppose any
puerile endeavors to secure an Improvement
in the work of Hamilton. Madison, and
Jkffehson, even If made by a member of
the Thirty-ninth Congress,
Retired List.
The people of the United States have always
been ready and willing to assist those who
have done public duty, and especially those
who have spent their lives In the service of
the country. The remaining heroes ot oar
first great struggle, which resulted In our In
dependence, are watched over with peculiar
care ; and very soon the last of our original
defenders will have passed from human sight,
and entered upon the mysteries of that un
known land where brave deeds will be amply
rewarded. The second conflict In which it
was our lot to take a part, thanks to the
daring bravery of our seamen and soldiers, re
sulted in our favor ; and their namea are en
rolled In the archives of tbe nation, and receive
yearly a pecuniary compensation for their
valor and patriotism. The participants in the
Mexican war, which in the light of the present
day seems like a brilliant skirmish, are ten
derly cared for, and, so far as may be, have all
their wants supplied. The great war through
which we have recently passed, has given us
an incieased number of persons maimed and
mutilated, who are the proper objects of gov
ernmental aid and assistance ; and the authori
ties have already provided for tholr wants
This is proper. They have all in their day
and generation actec a noble part In our
national hist' ry, and the miserable pittance
which they receive Is not to be considered in
the light of a charity, but rather as the simple
payment of a debt, the liquidation of which
has been too long deferred.
But while we are properly attending to the
wants of those who have braved tho dangers
ol the battle-field, we should not foreet the
claims of those who have spent their lives in
the civil service of the Government, and have
grown grey-headed and wrinkled in the dis
charge of their public dutle?. There are many
persons who have faithfully labored in subor
dinate positions, whose ability and worth have
never been properly appreciated or rewarded.
They have been content to act their part
modestly, and while they may have desired
that promotion might follow honcsjt effort,
they have never urged their claims with that
persistency which is generally successful when
the persons concerned are persevering in their
efforts.
Fur such men as these there should be
some provision made. After years of ill-paid
labor they should not be turned out like
superannuated horses to die, neither should
they be required to seek some eleemosynary
establishment to drag out a miserable exist
ence in their old age, thus concluding a life
of honor by a death which must seem to them
a disgrace. A retired list for clerks who have
a fair record, and are only incompetent on
account of age or infirmity, is an institution
that would do honor to our country and age.
Persons who are familiar with tbe labor in
volved in a clerkship In any of the depart
ments at Washington city will bear us witness
that it is no sinecure. At best, it is a treadmill
lite, and the salary attached is seldom a fair
equivalent for the labor performed. To do
the work required, it is necessary to secure
active and intelligent men; otherwise we may
suffer great loss. The same amount of in
dustry and capacity used in any branch of
private business would bring more remunera
tive receipts. But we could not well afford
to lower the standard ot capacity among our
department clerks. Their ability is matter
of extreme importance to every citizen ; and
when an attache ot Government is obtained
whose integrity is undoubted, it is the port of
wisdom to retain him. But it is bard to use
up the vital powers of any one and then dis
charge them on account of unfitness for duty
This system has been inaugurated in Eu
rope, and it is one of the few things that re"
publican America might profitably copy. A
retired list for superannuated clerks might be
so constructed as not to be obtrusively a chari
tyexactly similar to those now In existence
for the benefit of our army and navy veterans
There are many persons connected with the
various bureaus of Washington who have day
after day performed an amount of work that
would astonish most people, and yet have
never been able to lay by anything with which
to meet the requirements of old age and in
ability to labor. It is the duty of tho Govern
ment to piovido for such, and we hope that
measures of a character looking to this object
will be taken at the present session of
Congress.
If Major-Genebal D. E. Sickles, com
mander of the District of South Carolina, will
cease to issue orders in future, and let his re
putation rest upon the one we published yes
terday, he would go down to posterity with
an enviable lame. The twenty-three sections
Into which it is divided, are twenty-three pro
visions for the protection of the helpless from
the rapacious cruelty of their lormer superiors.
The condition of society in the Palmetto State
is revealed by the necessity which demands
such a lar-e number of restrictions In
order to protect the freedmen from the
cruelty and oppression of Southern plan
ters. When it is necessary in order to save a
negro from being turned forth upon the world
without food or shelter, even ii he endeavors
to work, and because his offense is that or
being a freedmen, we are happy to see that
violence will be chocked by military foice.
The wall of caste in the eyes of the law has
been broken down, and all men must hereafter
be dealt equally with by those whoso a. m a
declare them to be the ministers ot justice.
The order of General Sickles is the right
thing at the right time, and will meet the ap
proval of every lover of equal guardianship, by
the law, ot the interests ot the rich or poor,
the weak or the powerful.

COVBT OF OTEBANB TkRMINKR AMD UtTARTRR
Seshions Judges Allison and Ludlo. The
Commonwealth vs. t-hns'ian Heraer. The trial
ot this cose was lesumed this mornimr. The
Commonwealth continued tne examination of
Its witnesses.
Dr. Lewis, sworn I am a surgeon; made an
examination of the blood on the ra.or blade
plven to me by tb detective; tlx? examination
was microscopic exclusively ; the quantity of
blood as too small to make a chemical analy
sis; the exuminati on proves that the matter on
the rt .or is blood; the evidence that it is blood
is that blood corpuscles, or blood cells, are pre
sent In it.
It contains shreds of fibrinc of ihe blood; that
on boiling ft solution ot it, it precipitate albu
men, and on appljlng heat to the razor blaie
ihe material dries and scales oil. The next con
clusion is that the blood was n a fluid condition
when it got on the blade, the evidence of which
is that H adhered to certain parts of the blade,
nnd flowed and dried in uniform waved Hues.
The next conclusion is that the coagulation of
tne blood took place on the blade; 1 J id fro Irom
the form of the coagulum and tho bbrme with
the blood cells.
The next is that the b'ood flowed trom a livintr
vessel or specdiiv alter the death o; the body
The evidence ot this is that the blood had coagu
lated and contains tibrinc. librlno is what
causes blood to coagulate. That the blood cor-
picles compare m every respect with those of
bumnn blood.
This is interred from a microscopic examinv
ton of the size and form of the corpuscles, flat
tened discs or spheres. The distinction bet ween
bumnn blood and tbe blood ot some animals Is
not very marked. Fiom the result of my exami
nation, I can state that the characteristics of
the blood are more nearly those ot human
blood than any blood 1 know ol.
The evidence lor the Commonwealth here
closed.
The District Attorney stated that, in order to
prevent any misunderstanding hereat'tor, he
would, recapitulate the various articles he had
otlercd in evidence, viz.: The deed, the spoons,
tbe boot, and the razor. The boot had not, per
haps, been formally offered, though It had; been
proved and had been shown and referred to. He
would formally otlei it in evidence now.
The delense was opened by John 11. Dos Pas-so.-,
Esq., in a very eloquent and able speech, in
which. atcr reierrinc in general terms to tne
lamentnlil j condition ot'the man charged with the
murder, and also to the humble station in life but
excellent character ot the prisoner's family, and
of hinihelf betore th coinnmsion of this crime,
lie referred to the tadute of the Com
monwealth to show that the prisoner had been
in ihe houe of Miss Watt on the day of the
murder, or in fact ever. He said the defensa
would be allowed to show that the motive for
the perpetration of the crime, as alleged by the
Commonwealth, viz., money, did not exist, as
the prisoner had been in the possession but a
short time previous ot considerable sums.
He also contended, and read trom authorities
to show that the admissions or confessions of a
pnity charged with crime were not to be relied
upon, and that the policy ot the luv was to treat
them with suspicion, i'hc detendant would be
further able to show by a remitahla witners that
in passing the housed of MUs Watt on the morn
ina of January 6, at ten minutes before 7 o'clock, .
he saw a man dressed in military clothing stand
ing on the steps of the bouse. This man the
witness would describe as a man about forty
years old and entirely unlike the prisoner.
Good character would likewise be shown.
Mrs. Anna Berger, sworn Am the mother of
Christian llerger, who is twenty years old, and
was born in Germany; he has been in the city
nineteen years: he has also been quiet, steady,
and industrious; before he was married he lived
with us; he boarded with us a month since he
was married ; it was about two months before this
occurrence; his family resided at Germantowa;
gave him money from time to time; first.about two
months after bis marriage, gave nim $.U; the
next time I gave him $13 in silver, a short time
after he got the $50; about a month, I suppose;
he afterwards, before he moved from Framcford
to Gerraantown, got $30 more ; after
wards ho got $'U say about two or three weeks
alter; then he got $."; between the time of his
wile's confinement and his arrest he got $1; he
oiten complained, recently, ot pains in the head,
and was under medical treatment; his face and
back were full .of scrofulous sores; he acted
sometimes queer; he would go about toe house
witu a pistol, some times pointing it at me and
others, Never attempted to do me any injury with
it; sometimes tor some days he would look
troubled &ud worried: he often would tease me
and tickle me.trving to anger me: at other times
he was quiet; when not aifected in this wav was
amiable and quiet and a good son; was very loud
of animals; fond of pets.
Jonn lierger. sworn Am the lather of the
prisoner; reside in Richmond; saw him last be
fore the murder on the 2d of January; I have
two razors; have them with me (produoed); tha
razor produced at the Coroner's inquest was
snown to me; these are my razors, the only two
I have; I have had one nine or ten years: I
bought it lrom a peddler; 1 bought the other
of Martin Brayner; 1 had no other razor except
these two; my son when he lived with me was
quiet; I have noticed the sores on his face and
back; sometimes under medical treatment; he
was always a good son, industrious and obe
dient. Cross-examined Came to the country in 1817;
Christian was nine or ten months old when I
brought him over; he took all his thmgB away
with him alter he was married, I think.

NEW GAS REGULATOR,
ia vjcxted nr
DR. C1JAS. M. CRKSSON.
(Lata Manartng Fngfneer of the PhlladelpMa Oa
Works', possessing GKKAT DEulOAOX of adjustment.
by the use of a peoullar form of va ve and gas bolder, j
governing accurately a single light, with a otpaoity t
pass gus enoogh lor the full number of lights, and the
ability within tbe instrument Itself, to Increase the
piessnre, when the greater quantity ot gat Is required.
Among the peculiar advantages of this Regulator,
that make It preferable to Instruments of more con
tracted size, which require the use of MPBCURT or
FLEXIBLE DIAPHRAGMS, the following deserve
especial notice i
riR-T-The free motion ot the Regulating Valve
through considerable space, gives it grea er de loaoy ot
adjustment, and a wider lanite of consumption in '
single Instrument, than la possible with other forms.
BECOND The fluid seal et OLYCt RING used In this '
11F.GO LATOR, avoids the dangers resulting in other
fotms, from the unwholesome vapors of Merouir.
which, passing oft with the Gas, are disseminated! .
throughout tbe rooms In which It is burned, subjecting
tne occupants TO ALL THE DELETERIOUS EFFECTS
OF MERCURY upon the human system, and cepacia ly
upon the LVNO.S and HKIS, when it is thus diffused aa '
vator. 1 be accidental overflow of Mercury from these
mcrourlal Beals has) often Injured valuab e Gas Meiers,
the cost of which has necessarily been charirod to the
consumer.
Wheie the use of MERCURY In regu'ators Is avoided
by the aubatltatlon of a FLEXIBLE 1I APIllt VOM, the
resulting difficulties are also numerous; one Is tbe lia
bility to L'AKACh, and KXPLOSIOX OF GAS t an
other, the loss ol Flexibility and consequent Inefficiency,
by age and exposure to cold, and thirdly, the tnhereat
vice of want ot oelicaoy or adjustment, and range of'
actlen.
lo remedy these faults, the "CRE880N RECJULA-
TOR" was Invented, and wherever Introduced It has
given the greatest satisfaction, always producing a
steady light and regular consumption, with a saving of
trom IWfcNTY to THIRTY, Per Cent in amount of gas
consumed.
LETTERS PATFNT bare been granted for this Regu
lator, both In tho UNITED STATES and in ENGLAND.
It is manufactured by the
'AMERICAN METER COMPANY,"
Of NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA, and BOSTON", fer
us alone, and tor sale, Wholesale and Retail, at our ware
houses In this city, where all orders and letters should bo
addressed.
The following Is an extract Irom the Journal of the
FRANKLIN INoTlTCTK, duted October 18, 186J: "Af
experimental trial was then made as to the quantity af "
gas contained by the burners when under rogu'atlon to
their maximum economy, and a'.s e t he amount consumed'
by the same burners when subjected to the ordinary t
variations of street pressure.
"Ihe result showed tbatwith the Regulator, there
was unlfom ly 78 cubic foot ol gas per hour consumed.
being an average of 3 7-10 cubic feet per burner Whilst
without tbe Regulator the same burners consumed
Irom 106 to 140 cubic feet per hour, the average being Itt
cubic ieet, or 6 feet per hour to each burner '
