FUIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 18C0.
Ihe PuMtnge of tbe Suffrage Dill by the
Senate.
In the Senate, yesterday, the debate on the
District of Columbia Suflrage bill was con
tinued. The amendment allowing women to
vote having been defeated, Mr. Dixon's
amendment, to insert as a qualification that
no one who has not heretofore voted shall be
allowed to vote unless be can read and write
his name, was next taken up. Mr. Foster, of
Connecticut, made an elaborate speech In
favor of the amendment, giving the usual
arguments in favor of intelligence as a quali
fication 'or tho exercise of the elective fran
chise. Mr. Frelinghuyscn, of New Jersey, made
an able speech In opposition to the amend
ment, and In favor of the original bill. lie
said that 11 the suffrage were qualified, as pro
posed, there wonld be an inducement to keep
tho negro from learning to read and write, so
as to keep him iroin the ballot. If it was
universal, the people would be driven to the
education of the negro, to make him an intel
ligent voter.
Mr.Wlleon, of Massachusetts, also contended
that the practical efficacy of tbe amendment
would be to retard the cause of education
in the Distiict. If none but the colored men
who. could read and write were allowed to
vote, the enemies of the colored men would
see to it that there were no opportunities
given them to learn to read and write. Let
the suffrage be universal, and it would be an
incentive to education.
restriction of suffrage, he said, was an aris
tocratic, not a democratic, idea. If the negroes
of Virginia got the right to vote, Wise and
Letcher would be found attempting to prove
that they had always been friends of the
negro. They would make affidavits that they
are related to them ; that the same blood runs
in their veins that courses through the veins
of the black man. No doubt the Democrats
would ret a great many votes from the black
men, If the Democrats treated them hotter
than the Republicans, and he hoped they
would.
Mr. Ilendricks, of Indiana, made a speech,
the substance of which was that, while he would
not like a test of intelligence to be applied to
Democrats in Indiana,he would be very glad to
impose it upon the coloi cd people of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Mr. Lane, of Indiana, defended the original
bill, on the great principle that all govern
ments derive their power frpm the consent of
the governed, and that the colored people
were a part of the Government, The colored
people of the District had shown themseves
loyal and intelligent; they aad furnished
more men than the white inhabitants for the
army.
Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, closed tue
debate, opposing the amendment. lie said:
"Tbe example set by Congress now was to be
followed by tho people ot the disorganized
States. It an educational standard H set up,
it will be followed throughout the South. The
votP8 0f the black loyalists are needed no.
In the District of Columbia Congress was be
ginning the great work of reconstruction on
wbicU tne Onion was to be harmonized."
Mr. Dixon's amendment was then defeated
by the following vote :
ypftg Messrs. Antbony, Bucka'cw, Dixon, Doo
lilt e, Foif, Foster, Uendricks, Nesinith, l'atterdon,
liidd e, and Willcy-U.
Nays .Messrs. Brown, Cattoll, Chandler, Connoss,
Cowan, Creswell, Davis, E innnds, Feseuden, iTe
linRbuyson, Urirues, Harris, Henderson, Howard,
Howe, irxwood, Lane, Morgan, Morrlil, Ko-ton,
l'olaud, fomeroy, Kamsey, ltoss, Saulsbury, slmr
man, Spravue. Stewar;, buinuor, IruruuuU, Van
Winkle, Wado, Williams, and Wilson-31.
Mr. Yates, who would have voted nay,
was paired with Mr. Johnson.
Alter several verbal amendments, the bill
was passed by the following vote :
Yens Messrs. Antbony, Brown, Cattell, Chand
ler, Coniiess, Creswell, Edmund, Fessouuen,
ioeft, JFreliunnuyeon, Urimes, Harris, Henderson,
Howard, Howe. Kirkwood, Lane, Morgan, Horrill,
foand, i'omroy, Kamsey, Boss, (Sherman,
Sprague, Stewart, Sumner, TruinouU, VVude,
AVilley, Williams, and Wilson-82
Man-Messrs Buckalew, Cowan, Davit, Dixon,
Doolittle. Foster, Hendricks, Mosmitb, Morton, Pat
terson, Kiddlo, Sau sbury, and Van Winkld 13.
Messrs Kates and Johnson (the latter being ab
en ) janed, as in tbe former vole.
The bill, in full, w!ll be found in the Con
gressional proceedings, published in another
column. Its chief feature is that it confers
the right of suffrage upon all male persons
over twenty-one yea-s cf age, born or natu
ralized in the United States, except paupers,
criminals, persons under guardianship, and
persons who mat; hace voluntarily given aid
or comfort to the Rebels in the late Ite
hellion.
The passage of this bill by the Senate marks
an era in our history. It is a return to tbe
first principles of republican government a
coming back to the old foundations of true
democracy. It means that aristocracy has
had its day in our country, and that, from
this time forward, the people, the whole
people, and not privileged classes, are to
lule.
A Needed Work.
Mb. Howr yesterday in'roduced in the
Senate a resolution directing the Clerk of
that body to prepare for publication a
volume containing the colonial charters, and
ihe various State Constitutions cf each State
ol the United States, together with all
amendments thereto at any time la force,
arranping the same in chronological order for
each Sta.e.
Eveiy person who has had occasion to
Investigate the questions now agitating the
country, must have telt the want ol a work
such aa Is contemplated above ; and we have
often wondered that some enterprising pub
lisher had not before now occupied the field.
An Important Measure.
Mb. Y ATI'S, ot Illinois, introduced a bill yes
terday in the Senate for the publication of tbe
ratification of the Constitutional amendment.
It provides that official notice of the adop
tion of the amendment by the States shall be
sent to tbe Secretary of the Senate and to
the Clerk of the Houe ot Representatives,
instead of to tho Secretary of State, as here
tofore required ; and that,upon receipt by
these two officers ot official notice from three
fourths of the States that any amendment
has been adopted, the President of the Senate
and the Speaker of the House of Represen
tatives shall forthwith causo publication of
the same to be made in the newspapers
authorized by law to promulgate the laws,
with their joint certificates, that such amend
ment or amendments are valid to all Intents
and purposes as a part of the Constitution or
the United States.
Ihe object of this bill Is to leave the deter
mination of what are States in the Union,
capable of acting upon a Constitutional
amendment, to officers chosen by Congress,
and not to the Secretary of State. We think
a more direct and satisfactory method of
reaching the same end would be for Congress
Itself to openly declare what number of
States now constitutes the "three-fourths"
necessary to adopt an amendment to the Con
stitution, and then direct the officer or offi
cers whom it may designate for that purpose,
on the receipt of notice from that requisite
number of States of the adoption of the
amendment, to make official publication
thereof. It is a matter for Congress alone to
determine, and that body should do it in an
open and direct manner.
On Dit. It is rumored, and apparently on
good authority, that Hon. Ben Wood, State
Senator, in a trial of skill with Congressman
elect, Hon. John Morrissey, at the scientific
game of faro, on Wednesday night last, realized
the handsome winnings of $140,000. The con
tet took place at the headquarters of Congress
man Morrisscy, on Twenty-fourth street.
