0 THE AMENDMENT. WtBiltll ritilllM' Hprerh Agalutt Its Uallrtnation. A be aring" vas hold in thn Represrntalivcs' JJall of tbo Mnsi'tchusrtu State House, on noar5 24, Ixfjre (he Joint Conitnltteo on Jedernl Relations, to listen to arguments in srorof or afraiost the panpo, by the Leglsla , tore, of the proposed amendment to the Con titution of the United Slates. Wendell Phillips, after statin thegeveral pro positions of the amendment, propo-cd to iIihcu'. the pot.its laid dowu. lie mid this amendment feat been nine months before the country; nine months in this age ot rupid progress was almost an aire; U'uiBiuiion uselt, by sheer necessity, ha t materially thanked in uiue months. He did not U'fiie to oppose the Konernl policy ot Con gr f 8, but events had ripened so fast that If the amendment lay on the tiblj of Congress for the t time to day, it was by no means certain it would receive a maontv of votes. Tup feeling ot 'onsres8 and ot th loyal masses had bcu changed mateiially. The amendment had floated us far be hi ml tbe present wish ot the nation as bad the amendment ot 18C1. Practically it was of little value. Falling back on the Executive and the Supremo Court, the South hurt made p its mind to oppose the amendment. Between tKfcc two it whs evident that it would not be carried, lor the North alone ooiil I not carry it. The ait. on of Mas.'uehiiHo'.ts, therefore,, could lie of no Importance exeep. as a mere expression of her o hium. No muu who visita Wasuint.u hus any idi'u that lee amendment will ever be more than a mere attempt. Tne amend ment, technically, says nothinir about recon struct on; It uiukes three separate propositions, bnt has notbme; looking directly or indirec'.ly to this great question. Yet we are led to believe, bv the aciiou of the lit publican National Com mittee, that there amendments were the plans of Coiiercts us a basis of reconstruction The members ot Connies, manv of them, seem to lavor this idea, mid Mr. l'hillips quoted from a M eech ol (Governor Ward, ol New Jersey, to the mime effect. The New York Herald, wtiich ci-r-tiiiiilv looks at things practically, all thrjuirli the lat fall counselled the Southern Htnes to accipt 1he amendments, and they could then corn into the Union. And the Republicans who favor this view, it Massachusetts rejects the amendments, will say that Massachusetts rejects the Congressional plan ot reconstruction. He tnoURht he had demonstrated that the amend ment, as it etauds to day, is of no practical value. One reaon why we should not accept the amend ment, is that we should piedpe ourselves to a princ pie while others pledged themselves to nothing. He hoped that Massachusetts would n e ine necessity ol postponing action, if she didn't refu.-e it There was time cuoueh to moke amendments to the Constitution wh-n they would be of some practical value. The fact is we have pot lur beyond the proposed amendment we could not enforce it if we wonld we must tight tor mor Theatrical legiblatlon Is absurd; it dou't settle vital princi ple?. But suppose the Supreme Court arrays self against us-; that the President is impeached and that Mr. Bout well's bill is carried, tuen will our cause De stroua and the .South will tremble lor theirsafcty. Thsy will then say thatthey will accept the amendment, and Massacnusett, hav ingcommitied berselt to the measure, cannot re luse to give thera the terms tbey ask. Another reason why he would not pass the amendment is that there is no essential cnuc foreo doing. We pledge ourselves to principles, while the o'her party do not pledge themselves at nil. We cannot read the f uiuie, so I would have our lianda as tree as those of the South. I do not choose to be bound, fcven if the South comes in, who knows, after Messrs. Boutwell and Sum ner have fought their battles and gained the day, but the South will turn back just in the moment of victory, and save themselves by accepting the amendmeut. Then what folly for these Northern States to bind themselves to a position to which the Southern States will not be bound; if you do not refuse that amendment, postpone it; say to-day it is of no sort of consequence. Postpone your decision tor a year, mid we will then see whether to accept it or not. We will not be bound while the rest of t he country is not hound. The body of the public mind represented in the Su preme Court will not be bound; the body repre benting Southern interest', North and South, are not eoii.e to be bound. Why should we, as representing the radicnl element of the country, put ourselves down and be shackled by princi ple? If it was the most innocent principle or most unobjectionable measure in the world, I would not be shackled I want to be as tiee as others. I would ureently, therefore, impress on altssachiisetts the necessity of postponing ac tiou, it she does not absolutely refuse it. It is time enouuh to amend the Constitution when a practical question i involved. When Contrress, by this second amendment, sits down and bids the Southern States to come inio the hails of legisla'iou as their co-oimals, as a white man's Government, practically shutting out the negro race, he called it a swindle, while Mr. Wilson deemed it a compromise. We say to Robert Small, and otheis ot his class, and to the uthern loyalists wtto stood by us during our Hiiuegle, we give you over to your enemies. He ho ped Massachusetts would not be a party to fuch a monstrous piece of injustice, not to say inhumanity. Turning to the third section, we 8f e that certaiu meu would be disfranchised; tbey could not go to the ballot-box and throw their vote; but does anv man doubt what the popular letdinet of the South is to-day f Early in 180') the South were ready to accept auvthimr, but when Johnson in July intimated that he was on their 6ide, it resumed its old purpose to get on its leet and undertake to secure inside of the Union what it had tailed to secure outside of it by battle. There is no case in history where a minority sat dowu and were contented to try their content only ouce. You can go anywhere in the South and find the 8,000,000 people as thoroughly wedded to their Ideas as we are. Wade Hampton to day believes that to admit the negro to a share in the Government, to teach the masses of the people, is dangerous. They have sacrificed wealth, social position, eveiythiotr, and the Southern people do not pretend to believe this, but they do entertain such ideas. The effort of the North is to disarm the South from the pos sibility of lighting aeain. The North says we welcome you bhek, but you must not come in Mich a condition as to be competent to renew the tieht. Is not that common sense? Com pare South Carolina with ourselves, how many Bull Runs would it take to sweep the Declara tion ot Independence out of Massachusetts; it will take just as many defeats to sweep aris tocracy out of South Carolina. The Southern people are thoroughly wedded to tbe idea that it would be anarchy to educate the negro Wade Hampton is a man of convictions he is sincere in his opinions, and ho is a repre sentative man. The North must be a North of convictions in order to meet the South on its own grounds. The South has not given up the battle; it has ouly changed the methods ot car rying on its warfare. But be might be told that the third section of the amendment dis franchises ithet,e Rebel lea lers, and they could ?,ot, vl rl but ll w,ls a 6h(u- wo believes that f Jeff. Davis had subdued the North, and car ried out his boast that ho would reconstruct Massachusetts like unto South Carolina, aud disfranchised Charles Sumner, Georee S. Bout well, John A. Andrew, and ten thousand others like theni-who bel'ove, he said, that their influence in Massachusetts would be cone although they could not g0 to the ballot box r Who is going down into South Caro lina to enforce these amendments I Supposing a man is elected to Congress from one of their districts, aud a remonstrunco eoes up that he was elected by 6000 disfranchised votes and if the man will vote right he will be admitted but if not he will be rejected. If we wore sure the K( onblicaus were to always be the ilnmii party we might be safe, but that may not be tho case. Henry Wilson could not keep still all last summer till he bad voted in two Senators trom Colorado, although tbey hud tho word white in iheir Constitution, because they would vote right on two in portan' mat'ers, and ho 1s not an eieeotion to the rule he is an example. The third section caunot be executed. What are we point to do? We must put tbe elements of tho Government down there on our side. Do not put THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM. miL the fan dimmf, on our s'de, pit the elements for we rnnnet build the Government down Sotth by pfirehmini amendments e cannot smoV..cr Wde Tlatnpinn with printed pm rr. Mr.Wilson ays we thall have a President to our mind in 1m;. We are not sure of tha It would take but the changing ot 2l,l)(iU votes to elect Andy Johnson President, and that is pTlinps not a hard matter to do with the help of the Federal patronage. Now, In view of these f.icts. said Air. Phillips, what is the remedy for tins ? It was to put 700,000 neero votes In the scale. He whs in favor of disfranchising; prominent Rebels, but if he could Rive the neero the ballot he wonld be willing to trust Wade Hampton. Mr. Phillips, In conclusion, mved that Massa chusetts should not stultify herself by ratifying the amendment, and sat down amid great applause. A Bankrupt Congressional Millionaire. A Frsnklin (Pa i correspondent of the Lewis. ton (Me.) Journal gives tho followiug history of viie case oi tne lion, cnaries v. Culver, who has been released from imprisonment in order to take his seat in Congress: Ihe history ol a (ate inmate of the Jail in this town and county (just released by a direct intervention ot ConpreB, bv virtue ol his privileges M. U.) is both roniuntio and ot interest, tslx years ago a young man ol allable address and very agreeable appear anco made Ins tlehut in Franklin, oi eiuna a banking; ollico on seemingly sinad and (tupoited) borrowed capital. By cticr ol introduction from most honor all part.es, by a suavity ot deportment that at once won and retained a largo circle ol acquaintances, by an uiidttmsive yet zealous interen m tho Methodist Church, and occasional exhibitions ot charity, manii licentwlien compaied wita the gilts ol hit neiehbors. tnls young man rapidly gained pnpu arity and blanched out into larger spheres of business. Now lork city became laminar with his name, and Wall street always responded libtrully and promptly to his call (ori-pecio and bonds. All a' once thesoecu lauve excitement sprang up, and the Wall street banker and Franklin banker drew vivid picture,, oi' progress and Wealth. Indeed, he was elocted to onr liatioDal C'ongrers trom leg district, and is now a member ot tho J hirty nin li Congress, au honor given him by an admiring constituency Kcno, a flourishing toivn in the oil re?, on, was founded bv luni, and its princlpla slicct now bears its namo A railroad, costing $1 600,000, was lmd out and built and equipped under his control, and at the expenso ol li in pocket.

Wild lands ot Illinois and Indiana were bought up, and tho deeds ihereot were at tiarjiaiu In the broker's ollico, and Sir Morion Ptto and party were foted oy him with prodigality. Confidence m him and credit to him seemed without limit, until, a few months ago, a heavy and sudden droit on his New York houso found not onough funds in tils sale, and Culver, Peon & to. were repoiteu as having tailed to the amount of S8 000,000 indebtedness. Mr. Culver, who was tho tinanciul agent aud uiatiager ot the concern, contessos to tho inacbtcancss oi 1000 000. in addition to several ci?il suits, r many indictmonts are pending against bnn, charging him wbh emb zz etneiit and fraudu lent pretenses, jo that spcclil deposits and tempo rary trusts were appropriated by him to private ends. Jt is due to Mr. Culver, whom we had bo lieved to bo ol honest purpose, to say that his neigh bors hero generally accredit him with no disposition to concealment, and believe him to bo the victim ot wild and visiouury scl.oincs that have their first origin In tho atiuosplu ro ot the Iew York stock mar kets, rather than a prediposed swindler.

A tragic event has occurred at Lamoille, Bureau county, Illinois. On Monday, soon after dark, the citizens of Lamoille, a small village locuted in the northeast corner of Bureau county, were startled bv the report of a gun. and tbe e iies of murder. It was disclosed that John Card, a citizen of Lamoille, com monly known as Deaf Jack, had shot his wife. Card asserts that he whs impelled to the com mission of the bloody deed by a pasiou of jealousy. Mr. Card was from home on Monday, and, on returning, learned that his wife was attending a dance in the village, lie hastened to the place, carrying with him a double-barrelled shot-gun. On arriving at the house, he called, her out on the street, and abked her whether the would go home with him. Card says that she replied that she did not intend to live with him any longer. lie thereupon re sponded "Good-by, till we meet in heaven," raised his gun, and tired both charges through her ne k, killing her instantly. Card is au rngiisciuan Dy oinu, nas oeen ten years in tins country, is perfectly deaf, and has a great pas sion lor hunting. lie was only married last March, and has no children. The murderer wasairested and brought to Princeton, and is now confined in the Princeton jail. His reeret seems to produce au overwhelming enef, and be rettuest that an examination and trial be waived, a death warrant issued, and he be exe cuted. It is estimated that the health of American women hns improved twenty-tive per cent, since they commenced wearing thick shoes aud warm underclothing.
