Towanda, Thursday, Feb. 18,188@L
THE SOVVRAGE AMENDMENT.
The constitutional suffrage amead 7
went passed the Senate 'Needs,*
afternoon, after an almost uninter
rupted session from Monde'', The
vote finally stood forty to sixteen, or
eight more than two-thirds. ;The
original draft as it passed the Mass
was be follows :
4 ‘ Be it resolved, ho., two-thirds of both
Houses concurring, That the following ar
ticle be proposed to the Legislatures of the
several States as an amendment to the Cow
etitutioa of the United States, whieh, when'
ratified by three-fourths or said Leglslat
tures, shall be held as part of bald Consti
tution; namely :
Awn= Swam 1: the right of
any citizen of the United States to Tote
shall not be denied or abridged, by the
United States or any State, by reason of
race, color, or previous condition of slavery
of any citizen or °less of citizens of the
United States.
"Szurrort 2. That Ckingreas shall have
power to enforce by appropriate legislation
the provisions of this article."
The vote .on its passage in the
House was 150 to 4 nays. The
Senate Judiciary Committee reported
in favor of striking out the first sec
tion andlubstituting :
" The right of the citizens of United
States to vote and hold aloe shall .nol be
denied or abridged by the United Stites,
or by any States. on account of race, color,
or previous condition of servitude."
This was one of the most impor
tant of the proposed amendments,
'that will be found at length in the
report of proceedings in Congress,
amounting to Omit thitty in the
whole. The most able argument on
'the Democratic Bide was made by
Senator Hendricks, but was replied
to and demolished by Senator Mor
ton. The authority of the Supreme
Court to declare a law of Congress
unconstitutional was _among the in
cidental topics argued. As the Re
publican Senators had pledged them
selves not to leave the question un
til it was decided, the Democrats re
lieved one another in making speech
es, offering amendments And delay
ing a decision. The time from ten
to half-past eleven was solely occu
pied in voting down amendments.
Another amendment, made by Mr.
Wilson. of Massachusetts, and adopt
ed in the t
Senate-40 to 16—is as
follows :
"NO discrimination shill bo made in the
United States among the citizens of the
United States in the exercise of the elective
franchise, or in the right to hold office, in
any State, on account of race, color, nativi
ty, property, education, or creed."
The Senate amendment were con
sidered in the House,' on Monday
last. After some debate the amend
ments were non-concurred my and a
committee of conference asked for.
nib We give up a large share of
our inside columns to an interesting
and accurate synopsis of the pro
ceedings had in counting the
.elect
oral votes, and the official notifica
tion to GRANT and COLFAX of their
election as President and Vice Presi
dent. The answer made by Gen.
GRANT to the Committee will be read
with much interest. It will be seen
that he has laid down -as the cardi
nal doctrines of his administration,
"Economy, Retrenchment, the faith
ful collection of the revenue, and the
payment of the public debt' ) If
Gen. Gmarr will stick to this text, he
will receive the hearty support of
the people.
The President elect evidently feels
that something is due to the public
anxiety in regard to the formation of
his Cabinet. He simply relieves the
public curiosity to stating the time
when the announcement will be made,
both'to the selected, and to the pub
lic. That he is wise, in thus keeping
to himself the names of the gentle-
men selected as his Cabinet there
can be no question. The experience
of previous Administrations
.has
shown that the early announcement
of the names of Cabinet officers, has
been the fruitful source of vexation
and difficulty. The country has no
interest as to who shall compose the
Cabinet, except that they shall be
good and true men. Though not
celebrated l as a politician,Glen. Haan
has usually evinced a- rare discrim-
ination in the selection of men, and
we have no doubt he will wisely and
judiciously select his Cabinet.
NA. That the abolitioc of slavery
is a pecuniary gain to the South is
now agreed by all sensible men
there. The free Degrees can actually
earn more money for themselves and
their employee than they could be
made to earn for their masters when
slaves. The demonstration of this
truth is now complete, and it marks
with n inextinguishable brilliancy
the mighty change which these lakt
eight years have wroUght in our
country. We may, indeed, wish
that so benefint a transformation
could heve been produced l y some
other means than a blciody and deso
lating war ; but as that method was,
adopted by the Divine Providenc e:
which governs all affairs, we must
believe that it was on the whole the
best the case admitted of: In truth,
it is plain that nothing but a civil
war could have overthrown slavery.
Its power was too enormous and too
deeply involved with every gout of
our political and social system to be
otherwise broken down. it any
rate, we can lock upon the fads that
now surround ns with no feeling but
one of gratitude and hope ; and the
enviable destiny now opening before
the South is one which men of all
opinion 3 may hail with unmixed sat
isfaction and delight.

ground that the two House had by a con

!!that
under the special order of the two -Howes
'respecting the Electoral vote of thelltate
of Georghr, the objections made to the
counting of the vote of the 'Electors for
the State of Georght are hot in ordef."—
Upon the return of the fleindors to the
Hall of the House, repoft being made of
their action, ineMbers of the House '
-became much excited, denouncing the lo
tion of the Senate as tyrannical, and dicta
torial. and as being fraught with great mis
chief, by the precedent they were about to
establish, and for a time the President of
the Convention found it impassible to Fe
serve order sufficient to enable the tellers
to obey his direction that they should de
clare the vote of the State of Georgia.—
The Speaker of the House ;brought the
Convention toerder by directing the Ser
pa/A./it-Arms of the House, to e'nett airy
meinber of the Coneenticm who refused to
obey the orders of the President of the
Convention, and the vote of Georgia inks
finally declared in accordance with the
terms of Abe concurrent resolution above
referred to, Georgia being a spettiel ease,
was reserved to be Called last on the list,
and entied the count, when the President
announced the vote as follows :
" Whole number of Electoral votes cast
including Georgia, 294; whole number ex
cluding Georgia, 285 ; whole number for
Grant and Colfax, 214 ; whole — number for
Seymour and Blair, including Georgia, 80 ;
whole number for Seymotif And Blair, ex
cluding tWirgia, h. Wherefore, in. either
case, whether the votes of the State of
Georgia be included or • excluded, Ido de
clare that Ulysses S. Grant, of the State of
Illinois, having received a majority of the
whole number of Electoral votes, is duly`
elected President of the United States for
four years, commencing on the 4th day of
March, 1869; end that gihuyier Co of
the State of Indiana, having received •
jority of the whole number of el. •
votes for Vice President of the United '
States, is duly elected Vice President of
the United States for four years, commenc
ing on the 4th day of March' 1869;" The
joint convention having completed its busi
ness, the Senate retired to its chamber,
and the Speaker of the House resumed the
chairand called the douse to order, when
Mr. Butler of Mass, immediately offered a
resolution as follows :
" That the House protest that the count
ing of the vote of Georgia by order of the
Vice President pro tempers was a gross act
of oppression and an invasion of the rights
and privileges of the House." Debate was
prolonved on this resolution through Th
day and until Friday afternoon, and it was
then tabled by a vote of 130 to 55.
The Joint Committee appointed by the
two Houses to present to the Preiddent and
Vice President, the certificates of their
election, performed that duty yesterday.
General Grant on receiving the certificate
of his election, stated that in accepting the
office of President of the United States he
assured them (the committee) of his de- 1
termination to carry out faithfully the ob
ligations of the office ; and referred par
ticularly
to the necessities of an honest
and faithful eiecntion of the revenue laws."
He informed the committee that he had
not announced his Cabinet, and bad con
cluded not to make known the names of
the gentlemen whom he would invite to be
come members, until he sent them into the
Senate for confirmation.
The bill known, as the air-line railroad
bill, passed the House yesterday, by a vote
of 99 to 54.
The present Congress has but fifteen
more working days, and it is therefore
probable that the Internal Revenue bill as
well as a number of other ,important
will fail for want of sufficient time to give
them the consideration they require in per
fecting them.

The House of Representatives to-day,
passed an important bill relating to the fi
nances, which was introduced by Mr. Hoop
er, of Mass. and reported from the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, entitled : "An
act to prohibit the further increase of the
public debt, and for other purposes."-- ;
It prohibits the further issuing of honk
by the Secretary of the Treesuiy under ex-r
-lifting laws, -except for subsidies to Railroad
Companies as now provided for by law;
that this provision shall not effect the trans
fer of bonds or the exchange of mutilated
or defaced bonds ; and that the Secretary
of the Treasury may issue registered bonds
in exchange for coupon bonds. Requires
the Secretary of the Treasury to publish
monthly a statement of the public debt, in
which the United States bonds shag be
classed as the "funded debt ;" the S.
notes and fractional currency as the "cur
rency debt r the three per centrals certifi
cates as the "temporary loan debt ;' and
all debt that is past due, or that will • be
come due within the fiscal year, as the "ma
tured debt ;" and the interest on such ma
tured debt shall cease. The statement %to
contain also, the amount of subsidy bonds
outstanding, issued to railroad companies,
the navy pension hind, and any other re
corded obligations of the Treasury, the
amount of outstanding gold certificates,
and the amoimt of coin and of currency in
the Treasury. After the passage of this
act no percentage, deduction‘ csnrunisakin,
or compensation shall be allowed to any
person for the sale, negotiation,• or exchange
of any bonds or securities of the United
States, or of any coin or bullion diiposed
of at the Treasury Department or elsewhere
on account of the United States ; All ex
change, purchases, or sales of the bonds of
the United States on account of the gov
ernment, which may be authorized by law,
shall be made 'by inviting competition of
the public by advertising ibr proposals,
which shall be awarded publicly- to the
best bidder. All. sales of gold on account
of the United States shall be made it, pub
lic auction by a proper officer of the Treas.
my Department, after siring at least three
days-public notice-of the time and place
such sales shall be made.
It is thought this blll will meet the ap
proval of the Senate, and be passed before
the close of this Congress. Comm,
