THB PBOPOSED NBW AMESBIBBIIT. The. House of Representatives at Wash ington has adopted, by the large vote of l. r >() ; *> 42, ikC Bdutwell'a resolution proposingto . the legislatures of the aeveral States an • >amefidnient to the Constitution on the subject of suffrage. It declates that 4 ‘the right of . any citizen of the United States to vote shall V BOt ’-be 'denied, or abridged by the' United States or any-Btate 1 by reason of race, color orpievious condition of slavery of any citi mtbrclasa ofcitizenß of the United States.” -The principle ot this amendment is un questionably right It is iavol ved, indeed, in the guarantee of a republican form of govern ment to each State, which the Constitution imposes upon Congress. Public opinion has,'ever Since the rebellion began, been, tending toward the recognition of this . principle, and ;the work of finishing ■ the rebellion by preventing the possibility of a new oiSS?*can scarcely be considered complete until the constitution is amended as proposed. The question may arise whether it was judicious to move in the matter during vthe present short session of Congress; but if .• the Senate should act as promptly as the House, fliere will be no difficulty on this • point, and as it is never too soon to do right •*ad repair a wrong, the people and their ex isting Legislatures will acquiesce in the action of Congress, and the ratification of the amendment may be completed ia a few months. 80CfAli E4OALIXV IN TUB SAW. We sincerely hope Congress Will heed the petition of the Navy Surgeons that they and other staff officers shall have equalsocial rank aboard ship with o fficers of the line. This Patter may seem of trifling importance to civilians,bnt it is a serious cause of discomfort, annoyance and ill-feeling among men who are thrown together Upon a vessel for years at a time,that a portion of them are forced into a,position of social. Inferiority by persons who are not entitled to any such assumption by birth, education or ability. The power to remedy this fruitful source of discontent lies with Congress; and some very positive and arbitrary legislation will be necessary to effect it. It bas long been a sort of tradition in the navy that the line constituted the real navy, and that engineers, chaplains and snr geonß were superfluous and second rate <• beings, who -were to be endured with as little grace, as the line officers felt inclined to bestow upon them. Accordingly, it the line • chose to invite the staff upon the quarter deck or into the cabin,it was to be regarded as an act of condescension, for which the infe rior creatures were to be duly grateful. But •this kind of thing, together with many other of the old time follies of the navy, is entirely out of date. Indeed it never should have been permitted to' exist at all in a republican navy. The war knocked a great deal of nonsense cot of the heads of army officers; and red tape was cut so often by the keen swords of .sensible soldiers like Grant and Sherman and Sheridan, that the whole method of army etiquette has been changed to suit the de mands of practical men and a practical age. But the navy still clings to its absurd forms. A precise amount of gunpowder is banged off whenever an Admiral or a Commodore moves about; certain officers go up one side of a ship, and others are compelled to ascend the other; so many toots of a whistle are given to a captain, and so many leas to a lieutenant; and all the precise formality of , royal court is observed with an exactness ‘ that is absurd and childish. But the ostracism practiced against staff -officers is the most offensive of alL' Engi neers, in this age of steam, are of jnst about ns much importance as line officers; and quite as much ability and scientific skill are required \n their department as in any other. As far as our knowledge extends, the men Who belong to the engineer corps are gene rally gentlemen, and altogether worthy to Associate with gentlemen. Of the surgeons, who are agitating this matter againstthe bit ter protest of sundry Rear Admirals and sub ordinate officers, the same may be said. If these men are fit to 1 - hold such positions in the navy, they should b@ quite good enough to keep company with anybody. If they are not, it must bo because respect*- blephysicians will not enter a service where they are compelled to social degradation. Perhaps there are some good and some bud men in the corps; but the line officers also are of various degrees of virtue and ability. The Kaval Academy does not transform boors into gentlemen. It turnß out just about as youths as any other school. And the probabilities are very much in favor iht the surgeon being the most accomplished man.' He graduates from his college after a ■ severe examination, aml then he is compelled to undergo another similar ordeal before he ean enter the navy. When he gets his c-mi- mUaloVt he is, personally, the peer of auy mao. He has paid for his own education, ’ whSfethe line officers have received their e ,ibegov^mem%4lliSt£ i •Mbs in foe'cMdi>f l ’;: 1 ! eiaii; tbb, Sfl‘qqUe aa respeotable, " ’On < .be msy, associate ;,wlibi:hnybody if ho is aj of tSW: highesViank.

'■The claim of. chaplains to spciaL pqniditj is 1-eyen stronger. Their profession is recbgj 'nized all over the world, as the highest and it is so, on land or sea. It is in rather bad taste for a midshipman or a lieutenant,of even an admiral, to affect a superiority to themj it proves either that Buch officers 1 have little respect for religion or else a poor opinion of the value‘df their immortal souls. . The fact iB that this spirit "of caste is un worthy of the gentlemen who belong to that line; and they themselves should be the first to break it down., If they will not, Congress must, so that there shall be no.. invidious dis tinction between officers of the same rank in different departments. This will not' inter fere with discipline, as has been urged. Men • who kre intelligent enough to hold position certainly can comprehend the necessity for the complete.aubordination of everybody to tiie will of the ,commander. ’Admiral Farragot, like a sensible man, takes this view* and the whole country sides; with him, and demands feoffie action from the national legislature, in behalf of tiie petitioners. \ . LEOISEAtIVE i BEFORM. The Pennsylvania Legislature is giving some indications of a. determination to effect re trenchnjentß of the public expenditures, which, we trust, will not end in mere talk. A move is, .miade; in favor of abolishing or abating the franking privilege, another in quiring into the printing department, and another into the question of salaries. Some of these retrenching movements are undoubtedly made in good faith, and all oi ■ them indicate directions in which better econ omy can be practiced. The franking retrench ment starts under rather inauspicious cir cumstances, as it is brought forward by Mr. E. W. Davis, who invites suspicion to it by gratuitously insisting that “he urged it io good faith.” That gentleman seems to have thought it necessary to preface his ad vocacy of retrenchment with a declaration ot innocence, as if he had taken it for granted that the public would adopt the opposite theory if left to themselves. The present advertising system needs re form. An examination of the Auditor- General’s Report exhibits the remarkable fact of a Republican administration paying thousands of dollars to the most obscure and unimportant Democratic newspapers, and other thousands to a class of newspapers that are of whatever politics Day best for the time, and that live rather by the wits of their owners than by the volantary patronage ot the public. The Legislature should look closely into this item of expenditure, and see if it is not susceptible of a desirable reform. Upon the question of the compensation of public officers, there is. an opportunity for an economic refonn of more consequence thao either of those we have referred to. The present “fee” system is essentially and radi cally wrong. It is the fruitful source of poli tical corruption in all parties, and is a most extravagant practice in itself. What is wanted is the introduction of the principle of liberal salaries and no perquisites. Many thousands of dollars will be saved annually to our people, whenever we reach this great reform, and it will be an excellent proof of the reality of the Legislature’s determination to retrench in the smaller matters of expense, if they will lay the axe at the root of this tree, whose fruit costs the public and all political parties so much. But there is a height to be reached by our Legislature which demands a stronger virtue and a truer devotion to the public interests than any of these individual reforms. For years past the Legislature of Pennsylvania, like the Legislatures of other States, has had within it an element of membership that has always brought it into disrepute. In both branches of this body there are many pure and upright men, who ore an honor to the Siate and to themselves; who can neither be bribed nor tampered with; who go to Harris burg, diligently and honestly perform their duiieß, draw their lawful salaries, and when their work is done, go hack to their homes to receive the approbation and gratitude of their constituents. If this sketch does not describe all or the msjority of the present Legislature, then there is a grand field here for the practice of that divine precept: “First cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to caßt out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” Reform, like charity, should begin at home. TWELVE NIUIITS OF “ TWELFTH Nieur.n There are cycles in popular taste,in fashion, in literature, in the arts, and especially in the dramatic art. There are periods when a public, dissipated and blaze, will revolt from a high tragedy, or a genteel comedy, or a roaring farce, and be momentarily enter tained by a so-called play, whose sole dis tinction is a flash of lightning, or a burning inn, or a half-drowned woman, or a railroad accident, or a grand “mechanical effect" of Borne kind, illustrative of the genius of the carpenter, or the painter, or anybody but the dramatist. Through such a cycle the Ame - rican public, in Philadelphia at least, appears to be passing. Can it be that it has already passed through it? Here is an answer; or at least the material for an answer to this ques tion. ‘ A charming play by William Shakespeare, containing nothing vulgar or sensational— the brave old comedy of Twelfth Nifjht— has been rashly thrust before a Philadelphia public by Mrs. Drew, at the Arch Street Theatre. No distinguished "star” was named in the cast of characters for the sake of add ing to the lustre of the authors attraction. Rut the clever men and women gathered around her by the cleverest actress and manager that this country possesses—Mrs. Drew herself—were announced to play in th*- comcdy during , a spare week sand wiched ■m, BmETitfemi ™- ■' of the period. tfFobltes^Bfid^rperfqrmersworej both laketi by ' v §hakMpekre:provedi -"titero aUr'activd than even" YatefUob Daly.; .Without anypufflqg'or genteel black-mailing. ; ihere wasafeood 'audience to‘see Txvelfth Night on its first representation, Apd tho de mand for seals was so on subsequent’ nights, thaU’the r qleverest of actresses air'd managers has 'found'it 'expedi ent to announce another ,week-'.of Twelfth Night, even with'the nieiauoholy acd saori tficial postponement, for that period, of Tame 'Cats! •' ' ' "■ ' '-vv-.-'a-rv.-''• > .It ifl an event worth chronicling and cele brating—this success of a combdy by" Shak espeare la the city of Philadelphia and in the year TBGP. It is delightful to look in bn its audience as wcH as its performance. . For the people that go to sep and 'hear Shakespeare are quite a different set from those that go nightly to see bigamy, adnlteryj murder, arson, railroad aocidents and the other stun ning .things of the modem play-makers. It is charming to see cultlvated nien and women, who have been driven away from iheatreand opera bouse by nastineßß in recitation or song; assembled to see, a good performance of one of Shakespeare’s plays,'even though it be not one of his best. , It. is encouraging to find that even critics vVho'haVe studiedin the sbhool o‘ Aiabille and .Vae Nouffea Pariniennea are obliged to confess that there is something outside of thoße choice fountains of inspira tion that is attractive to a portion, of the Philadelphia public.. It is encouraging to see in this 1 a sign that popular taste has got through;" or nearly through, one of its cycles of demoralization arid'vulgarity, and is enter ing ~a new cycle, in’ which there will be a recognition of intellect and decency as essen- tial elements in the;dramq as well as in ail oilher firts. .

Brans' was appointed foreman ■oi tfaeOrnud Jorv. . >. ■ ■■ ;f Judgelndlow, In thsirhclin"thejnry, referred te Uiii prevalence of crime aha the false -nympa tby that teemed to be felt for the criminal. He i Mid !,(_{•; •; 5,5 . ■ I feareomellmes there has been too much delay' in the-execution of the sentences which have .been pronounced in this Court, according to law. I fear, at olher times, men who have beeu con victed of the highest crimo have-not been' .executed, according.to law; I fear- also that the -sympathies of a' vast number of good citizens. 'nave been invoked in behalf of those in orison, ned perhaps all of tia are to blame in that we have " lent' foo 7 ready an ear to the applications which ..have, been made for pardon, and that some men who should have been retained in custody have 7 been discharged. Now, gemleinto, Ido not mean gd aay that we -'ought not to be merciful. Mercy is a divine et : tribute; it is our duty to treat every man, uarticn .lairlya fallen man, wllhicvery consideration which a just regard for the interests of the com munity will demand. Bat after all that has been Mid and.done, It seems to me that we, perhaps, in onr endeavor to do away with some of ths wont features in the treatment of criminals, have gone in a different direction, and have av ‘ iowea too many sympathies in behalf of crimi nals to operate. No sooner is a man convicted of the highest crime known to the law than every cffort secms to. be made to screen him from a Just punishment This indeed is very merciful to him, bat what becomes of the man who has boon mur dered? No sooner iaa criminal sent to the peni tentiary for some brutal murder than our sympa thies are Invoked to rescue him. What becomes ,cf ihe nun tent into eternity, ana bis /wife , anil children? Tfco moment an histitnte is robbed,, or some citizen ia pluhdered, every effort seems to be made by . good people to rescue tbat man from nnnlsbmoni? Wbyabonldthat be? Hava We no mercy -to be * tow upon the community? It is merciful to tbe ctlmlnal, bot la it merciful' to. the men, women •Wl children who sleep under the protecting wine of ihe law to stlmolate every sympathy for the •' criminal and Ignore those who demand and most receive onr protection? ■ ! ‘ “ « Why,gont!etneD,we are accused of being severe, Setl have seen (he Judges on this bench without an exception,under the load which : waa imposed upon them ihssntehclbg some man, - boCante they Knew ' that the ■’ punishment would foil heavier npon ,his family‘than upon himself; and yet, nnless they do their duty.wbat becomes of the protection to property . and . life which every citizen is bound tohave dander the laws of the land? There appears to-be on Idea prevalent , that the punishment for prisoners justly convicted is tod severed Now, it Is a well. known fact that the Inmates of onr ' county prison and penitentiary, in ' -this county at least, live better than the honest and Industrious pdor of the community. No man de , sires to eee o prisoner starved or treated with bar rharity, but something ought to be done to make the man who is a felon appreciate his 'sltaation. The way of the transgressor shall be hard, What right has tbe pickpocket who has been tonight time and time again before this coart to expect that ho-shall bo sentenced to a term of ? rears in the penitentiary or prison with alight abor, spend the time, and then be discharged to planacr ogalif ? It may be a very harsh rale, bat It is a divine rale and a Bound rule which would require a man who is a professional thief, a pro* - fesfcional robber, a professional burglar, to under* stand ibat.when he is in prison he is in an un comfortable place. - Daring the past fow months, while crime has increased, I am glad to say that the authorities *have been vigilant, There have been tried ia this Coart, since-the 24th of November last, thirteen homicide cases; there have been capital convic tions, By epWlal order, another Criminal Coart waß opened in -this connty, and I am informed ' .-that nearly 600 bills have been disposed of since November last • Mluk now,and I amsure there will be bat one ~*newer to the questions, will yoa not proceed vlgl lantly to the discharge of yonr duty? All I ask m tho District Attornoy U, that ho will continue . to press on : as, ho has done the business of the Court, and all I ask of the officers la, that they will enforce the commands of the coart to the letter; all I ask of the criminal authorities of the city Is that they Blialllbo vigilant and watch fnl, and by day and by night. 1 ask br ail to act with one mind, quo will, and a singleness of purpose, and then it shall be true that the magistrate beareth not the sword In Vain, and that while mercy shall be meted according to tho circumstances of the case, justice shall also he done, and the community who have a right to look to Os for protection will roeelve it. The petit jarors were discharged until to- morrow. , Over and Terminer.— Jndgeg AlUson fe and Peirce—The case of . 'James Devereux. charged with the murder of Patrick F.

FIBE AT BIRTH ARO CHEST SOT Continuation of tbe Coroner’s Itlvefc titration. Coroner Daniels this morning resumed the in* vestigation into the causes of the fire at J. E. Caldwell’s store, No. 902 Chestnut street, on the morning of January 14,1869, which resulted in ■, the deaths of James F. Polk and Edward Hagan. John C- Cresaon: affirmed—l have not been in the burned building; I think, however, tbat there / mnßthave been an explosion of some gas, but’ I ’ cannot say that it was fro’nf illuminating gas, as . the atatemente vary; my theory U that gas must have been accumulating in the westernmost part rif the building—ln Mr. Prae’e building—and the wind being west it was carried into Mr. Caldwell's store, and, coming in contact with a jet, fire and "in explosion was the Consequence. The more, howerver, I hear of the matter, the more puzzling it appears, and it is difficult to arrive at any con clusion as to the fire. -• •• Prof. James C- Booth testified that he examined 0 piece of lath ; from J. F, & E. B. Prne’s store, ana stated that npoa an examination of it he was or the opinion that the blackened appear ance was from smoke and not from fire, I think - that tbe falling of . the ceiling was occasioned by a jar from a violent explosion. ' Dr. Cbarles M Creseou, affirmed—l made an examination of come strips of wood from Orne’s store, and think the blackened appearance was 'produced by the quick action‘of a dame, and I believe itis from the result of a gas explosion. Prof.,Robert: E. Rodgers, sworn—l am a pro -1 fessor ih tbc'Peunsylvania University; I made an , examination of about two hours of the ruins at Ninth and Chestnut streets; the idea that the Qre originated from electricity is out of the question, and is. opposed-by-the scientific world; that l fleam was a -cause is also an absurdity; the portions otthecoun ting-rooms in Caldwell's wire thickly coated with oil and paint, and-thewood being white pine, a very combusti ble substance was presented; I am forced to be lieve that tbe fire originated antecedent to any ex plosion; Ihavd beard that id the counting-room thero was .waste -paper, and that a 'young man had smoked a cigar that evenine; then, patting aside the idea of Electricity and the explosion from sieam, I am fqyced to tbe conclusion that it was of those accidents which cannot be accounted -for.- - ■■■ Isaac 8. Casein, sworn—j am Chief Engineer in the United States Mint, and have given con siderable attention to the subject of explosion. Mr. Casein then detailed at length the origin of Ibe explosion at the Mint, which occurred last August; I think the theory given by Professor Rodgers to be the most plausible that I have heard. Cha'ries Bullock, swpm—l am a member of tbe firm of Bullock & Crenshaw, and nm a practi cal chemist; from tbe examination that i have made X incline to the opinion entertained by Prof. Rodgers; if all the druggists in Philadel phia were applied to, I am certain that a pint of nitro-glycerme could not be obtained; to have thrown It into_the building would have, been so dangerous that It would have been at the risk of the man’s life who attempted it. Prof. Henry Morton, sworn—l have not made an.examination, but from what I have seen and heard I agree in the mainwith Doctor Rodgers .. in what he has stated. Adjourned for a half hour. .$1,718,839 93 . 9 491 789 49 . 27,475,100 00 Philadelphia Cattle Market, Feb.

[Correepondericeof tho Now York World.] 'o ! Atunw, GaJanniiry Y 7, iB6O —We have hail a “staTUlng disclosure,” which has caused no lit tle excitement, and no end of discussion in poli tical circles here. Shortly after the meeting of the Legislature, it was rnmored that the great Ex preis Governor had issued several handrail thou sands of dollars in bonds of the State OfGpdrgia, bad hypothecated them with abnhk'ofNcw York, and had raised a large amount upon 4 them which, instead of finding its .way into* the State Treasury to be paid out according tri fa w, ! had unaccountably strayed into the breeches pockets of the C. O. D. unbel-riovmH to ' the Treasurer, to the Constitution, or to the litws regulating" public property, and so general whs 1 the ram’oiylt was thought that a littip inquiry in the shape of a reso lution would be 4 advisable. Aceordinely;Mr. N. L Angler, State Treasurer, was called upon to communicate pretty much nil he knew or could nscertaln’abont tho Issue, sale, and bypo tbecatlon'Of State boride, ahdespeeially as to who got the monCy; and for what purpose.' To this comprehensive question tlic'Qforesaid Angler re sponded that “hlB ExcellencyGov.' Bullock” had delivered to,the agent of the Fourth National Bank of New York the trifling little sum of $BlO, 0,00 in bonds of the ' State of Georgia; that tbo hank had advanced upon 4 these bonds at various times, and remitted to 'the treasurer $315,000; that the bank agent'wrote Angler that, after con sul to tiph; with Bullock it was riot deemed ad visable’ to sell the seven' per cent, bonds, “it beingconsideredby rnsnv tbitlbo legislature authorizing thpm was an' illegal body:” that Angier called'frir ari account, and found that tbo bririlr, besides crediting itself with the $315,000, also took credit for, “a large amount” which Attcior “knew nothing about;” that Angier, not “knowing how to account for 4 these credits,” im mediately wijnt to New York to get a full expla nation of them, and that; having gone to the tumlr, be found that Governor Bullock had d rawn tliifly-flve thousand'dollars, “which amount nev,er has becn'pald In nor reported to the Trea surer by Govorupr Bullock." i ~~Tf“thl8 is noturstartUng-dlsclosurOrwhat is?
