THE FBOPOSBD AUENDnESTA.
After very deliberate and patient debate,
the/United,.States Senate has passed the
Suffrage Amendment to the Constitution,
though in a different form from that passed
by the House. The joint resolutlon as adopted
by the Senate, yeas 40, nays 16, is as follows:
Joint resolution proposing amendments to the
Genstitution of the United States •
' He it resolved by the Senate and House of Repre
sentative, rfc., trro-thirds ol both Houses concur
ring, that the following articles be proposed to
•he Legislatures of the several States ne an amend
ment :to the Constitmion of the United States,
cither of-which, when ratified by three-fourths of
said Legislatures, shall be held as a part of said
Constitution, namely:
Article 15. No discrimination shall be made
th the United Slateß, among the citizens of the
United States, in the exercise of tho elective fran
chise, or in the right to hold office in any Stale,
tin account of race, color, nativity, property, edu
cation or creed.
Abticle 16. The second clause, first section,
second article of the Constitution of the United
States, shall be amended to read as follows:
Each State shall appoint, by a vote, of the peo
Ele thereof qualified to voto for Representatives
i Ocngrcsß, a number of electors equal to the
whole number of Senators and Representatives to
which the Btate may he entitled In the Congress;
but no Senator or Representative, or person bold
ing an office of trust or profit under the United
States, shall he appointed an elector; and tho
Congress shall have power to prescribe the man
ner in which such electors shall be chosen by the
people.
In thiß modified form, the joint resolution
must go back to the House ol Representatives
lor concurrence, before the amendments can
be submitted to the Legislatures of the several
States. The Senate proposition confers the
right to hold office, as well as the right to
vote, npon all citizens,wherein it differs from
the proposition of the House. The proposi
tion in reference to electors originated in the
Ben ate. It is one that onght to meet with no
opposition among oandid people of either
party.
The action of the House on the joint reso
lution, as adopted by the Senate, will now be
looked for with interest and anxiety. The
subject has been thoroughly discussed and
considered, out of Congress as well as in it,
and there is no necessity for any delay in its
final passage.
obstbdctiona
A cage baa been tijed this week in the
District Court, before Judge Stroud, involv
ing a question of much public interest. The
nil was nominally brought by the Building
Inspectors against the lessees of Concert
Ball, for a violation of the act ot March,
1867, relating to the obstruction of aisles of
places of public amusement, and to the means
of exit from such places. This suit was
commenced by Mr. Manlius C. Evans, who
lodged the information upon which the pro
secution was based. The facts of the case
are, as briefly as they can be stated, these ;
On the occasion of Mrs. Kemble’s first Read
ing at Concert Hall, last March, no reserved
seats were sold, and there was consequently
a rush for the beßt places. Mr. Evans pro
cured a comfortable position on one of the
side-benches, but was annoyed by being
compelled to make room for a lady upon
his bench: hinc ilUc lavhrymcc. Two
chairs were placed at the extreme head; of
one ot the side aisles, but 1 nbt
io such a position as to obstruct the passage
of the few persons who sat at the side of the
stage beyond the aisles. This was the sum
of the “obstructions.” The other aisles had
no chairß in them, one having been removed
by the lessee from the middle aisle, where it
had been placed by one of the audience. At
tempts were made to show that the side aisle
in question was obstructed, because a lady
who wished to leave the hall did not go out
that way, but, to avoid unnecessary disturb
ance and notice, tried a door which led into
Mrs. Kemble’s private dressing-room, and
found it locked. She then sat down and re
mained during the evening. There was no
“aisle or passage-way” obstructed on the
evening in question, in any sense contem
plated by the law.
This ground for a prosecution being so ob
viously frivolous and insufficient, it was
sought to strengthen it by reference to an
other clause of the same law, which requires
Ih&t the doors of exit shall be kept open dur
ing a performance, except when they open
outwardly. A desperate effort was made to
distort this simple provision of the act, and
to provethattwo door* at the rear of the
HBl '- one leading to an open hatchway ,
used by the carriage- makers on the flret floor,
and the other to the private dressing-room,
Should have been left open during the per
formance. Upon this shallow pretence,hours
were spent in the examination of witnesses,
and in laboring to overcome the “unwisdom”
of the jury This sort of practice is con
sidered entirely legitimate b y those who
oonsider the-Chief end of their mission
to be “to make the worse appear the bettor
part,” and there was nothing unusual in it.
Dimple common sense, to be sure, aaw the
transparent absurdity of the plea from the
beginning. Nobody of ordinary intelligence,
not interested to, malre put a case, won!4 pre
tend to bellevo that the andlence at Oonceft
Hell bad any right of way to a lady’s private
dresfing-room, or that' the safety or eonve
; nience of the public demanded that they
should be permitted to plunge down an open
hatchway into a dark carriage-shop. Yet a
large amennt of eloquence was expended
upon this,point, and with such effect that
Judge Stroud actually charged the jury that
the law InUßtnot be taken to apply merely
to the usual doors of exit, but to all doors
leading from the auditoriuml This
ruling, worthy of Mr. Justice Btarleigh, him
self, impracticable and unreasonable
as it. was,-had sufficient weight with the jury
to eabse a disagreement, and they were dis
charged, after being ont all night, standing,
as we are informed, eight for and four
against the defendants. If there was any
"obstruction” in this cbbo, It was caused by
the bench and not by the chair. Such a
principle as this wonld bring every place of
public amusement In Philadelphia under the
operations of the law every night. There is
probably no single auditorium in the city
which has not some doors leading from it
With which the audience have nothing what
ever-tQ-do.Tind which nobody has a right to
consider as means of public exit. The exits
from Concert Hall are, as everybody knows,
by two broad doors swinging outward npon
the stairways leading directly into Chestnut
street. .To these the law refers, and to these
only, and they are always kept in exact con
formity with the law.
This law, in its proper scope and intent, is
a very excellent and necessary one. Too
much care cannot be exercised to afford free
egreßß from all publio halls. Concert Hall,
Itself, would be undoubtedly improved by two
exits on Clover street; at the rear of the build
ings, although very few people would ordi
narily use them. The provision which for
bids the obstruction of the aisles is equally
important, and it was clearly proved, in this
case, that the lessee paid careful attention to
this provision. The aisles were not obstruc
ted, the doors were in the precise condition
prescribed by law, and this petty prosecution
was only sustained by a resort to such quib
bles and forced constructions as proved the
true character of the whole proceeding.
What with the frivolous and obviously per
sonal nature of the suit, and the extraordinary
ruling of the Court, the only wonder is that
a single juryman could be found, so. lacking
in that unwisdom which belongs to the jury
box, as hot to see through the whole business
in tqn minutes.
If the statements ot London letter-writers
are correct, Mr. Reverdy Johnson is running
about England declaring to the people that
the United States Sonate will assuredly
ratify his treaty, and congratulating them
upon the final settlement of the Alabama
claims. He is even so mightily pleased with
his assumed success that he calculates upon
being retained in office by General Grant;
and it is said that he actually has made
prandial and oratorical engagements reaching
clear over to the summer. It would be ex
tremely interesting to know by what process
oHogic- this-infatuated old man haß arrived
at this complacent conclusion. Possibly he
has not reasoned it out, but has been carried
to it by the force of his amazing self-coaceit-
If be had taken the pains to ascertain the
character of public sentiment in this country
upon his behavior and npon the merits of ms
treaty, he could not have regarded either
with satisfaction. If he does not know what
the American people think of these he is a
very culpable man. As their pretended repre
sentative it was his duty to ascertain their
wishes and shape hiß course accordingly.
There would have been no difficulty in doing
this, lor the press of this country have been
unanimous in condemning his entire offlda
career In England. He.has chosen rather to
wrap himself up in his r idicnlous conceit,and
closing his eyes to the truth, affirm his belie
in the existence of a condition of thingß which
cannot exist.
He will be disappointedvin both of his saga
cious conjectures. There is hardly a remote
possibility that the Senate will confirm his
treaty as It now stands. There are many very
serious objections to it, and it has one fatal
defect: it virtually ignores the fundamental
question at issue; whether Great Britain had
a right to recognize the Southern States as
belligerents, and to accord to the rebels the
consequent privileges. If this is not an
swered, we might just as well have lot the
whole subject alone. The Alabama con
troversy was not so much a matter of dollars
as of very serious principle.
The notion that General Grant will retain
Mr. Johnson in his position, is more prepos
terous. We hope and fully expect that one
of the very flißt acls of the incoming admin
istration will be to recall this flatulent ambas
sador. Certainly the people desire this to be
done; and we have too much respect for Gen
eral Grant’s common sense, and too great a
belief in his ability to appreciate Mr. John
son at his real value, to suppose that he will
not do it. If Reverdy Johnson chooses to
remain, after the withdrawal ol hia commis
sion, and fulfil all those engagements, we
shall agree. It will be muoh more agreea
ble to us to have him wandering about Great
Britain coDßuming British time and patience
and beef, than to have him driveling over the
United States. But when he loses his posi
tion he will be likely to lose hiß foreign friends,
and then he' w ill come home in disgust. If
he can only be induced to look upon his
life’s work as completed, and upon
bis scant laurels, the great American nation
will be gratified.
Certain profound members of the Joint
Committee of Highways have conceived a
most novel and ingenious scheme for fending
off the public buildings from Independence
Square. They want to plant a statue of
Washington there, whether the new marble
just finished by Bailly for the school-children,
or another figure to be raised by the subscrip
tions of other'parties.
There is something richly droll, if not very
respectful, in the idea of'bringing in Wash
ington to back thg argnment. A piece of
stone, whether carved into the figure of a
man or not, is a rather feeble, temporary and
, moveable obstacle to an important civic en-
I terprise; but then, make a Washington of it,
and you have a moral force capable of keep-

ing back tons of building material and armies
of hodmen,-besides chUJing,and-repressing
public opinion. rThe/ftmotfonarranged for
this effigy is a superb qne; he is to stamp his
marble foot like tbe Commendatore in Dou
Juan, and wave his, massive sword to all
eternity, in the not of humiliating
Cornwallis, but of humbliog MessrAHodgdon,
Hoykinß & Co. . The councilmen advocating
Independence Square wonld, of course, be
represented with their necks nnder the foot
of, the hero. The, inscription,- naturally,
would be, not, “I repulsed the English/
hut, "I drove back the administration of
justice from the shadow of Independence
Hall.” ‘
This little joke, however rich, will not be
appreciated by the public, who do not want
Washington compromised or turned into a
padded dummy to hold the floor for a special
purpose. A corner-stone. was long since laid
among the magnificent trees of Washington
Square, over which a figure of Washington,
however obtained, wonld be most desirable
and appropriate. As for the Bailly statue, so
prettily supported by the little hands of the
schoolchildren, we hope there #lll’ he no
location thought of but the place in front of
Independence Hal). It is just completed,
it is bcautliul.dlgnifled and artistic; as a simple
standing figure it would cause no obstruction
to tbe thoroughfare—-in fact a space exists, in
the line of the second row of trees, which
seems made for it. It will be a most appro
priate adornment for our principal promenade,
and a worthy guardian of the portal of the
Hall.
The Broad Street Railroad nuisance ought
not to receive any further favor at the hands
of the City Councils. It ought to have been
removed loDg ago, and the parties who have
been indulged by allowing it to remain so
long onght not to have any further in
dulgence. A communication in another
column sets forth some facts in relation to the
subject which are interesting, and we invite
for it the attention ot all interested. The
notice given for the removal has been ample
and all that the lkws require. If six months
longer are allowed, the same parties will ask
for six months more at the end of the term.
So much attention has been attracted to the
subject of the Harrison boiler, in connection
with tbe recent Chestnut street fire, that the
card/in another column, in reference to it will
be read with much interest It will be seen
that it baa never been claimed that this
boiler cannot explode, but only that a "de
structive explosion” is impossible. The state
ment of the case is very clearly and intelli
gently pnt, and sets this mooted question be
fore the public in its true light

HARRISON BOILER.
(From the Sunday TranKript, Feb. 7.1
“As to whether a Harrison boiler will explodo
is an open question. Its Inventor is particularly
positive on the subject, while others are equally
certain the other way. Now it is not for ns to
say that the Harrison boiler will, and wo cer
tainly shall not aver that it will not, explodo. It
may be proper to add that in December last then
was on explosion in Drinker’s alley. Now what
was the name ol tbo exploded boiler? Will Mr.
Harrison please say? Our columns are open for
explanations.”
If the boiler in Drinker's alley allnded to is the
one in Mr. Yocum'sfoundry.lt Is a Harrison boiler.
In a pamphlet Issued from the Harrison Boiler
Works for several years past will bo found the
following:
Page 21. '‘Steam-boilers can no more be made
absolutely secure against some kind of explosion or
fracture than guns or ordnance. Bqt they should
be and con be made, to that do serious harm can
arise when they do give way. To accomplish
this most Important end, (ho prevailing system
has been found, after a century of trial, entirely
at fault, and Improvements must be looked lor In
Its abandonment."
Axioms, page 23.—1st. That a steam-generator,
of whatever form or material, must, as a para
mount condition, be absolutely secure from
destructive explosion, even uhen carelessly used.
3d. that its strength should In no respect be
dependent upon any system of stays or braces,
whereby the inefficiency or rupture of one of
these braces or stays could cause greatly in
creased strain npon the others, thus endangering
the whole structure.
6th. That a boiler, whether of large or small
dimensions, should have uniformly ench ele
ments ol strength, as would render it always
capable of safely sustaining many times greater
pressure than need ever be demanded of it in
practice, and that its safety should not bo im
paired by corrosion, or the many other harmful
influences, which so soon and eo seriously affect
the strength of ordinary boilers.
7th. That the parts should be so made and put
together, that in case of ruptureof aDy portion of
the boiler, no general break up of the structure
could occur, the release ol the pressure by such
rupture merely causing a discharge of tho con
tents, without explosion or serious disturbance
of nr>y kind.
Page 37.—“8y what has been adduced it must
be seen that the Harrison Boiler is safe from de
structive explosion. It la not, however, main
tained that it cannot, under excessive pressure,
be burst in some of its parts, or that it might not,
under certain elrcnmetancee, do Injury, conse
quent npon a sudden discharge of water or steam.
But it is maintained that under no circumstances
can it ‘rend and scatter large masses of material,
liberating at the same time large volumes of highly
charged water and steam. '
"On page 131 of the Journal of the Franklin
Institute for February, 1837, will be found ; a re
port of the ‘Committeo on Science and the Arts'
of the Franklin Institute, giving an account of
certain most severe tests that the Harrison B,oiler
was put to, in the effort to destroy it by steam
pressure and other means. The attempted de
struction utterly failed. Attention Is called to
‘his report, as exhibiting some very remarkable
results.
“When it is considered that eight hundred and
seventy- five pounds per square inch of steam
pressure, failed to burst any of the spheres in one
of the sections—that under such severe test every
joint becomes o safety-valve; and when it is Cer
tain that, under ail circumstances, the general
integrity of tho whole structure can be surely
maintained (a point most positively insisted
npon), then but slight Injury onn arise, in any
contingency.”

The gold market continues the . scene of aa obetlnate
contest between the •'balm 1 * and ’‘bears.” The former
are conjectored to number in their ranks one of the
promtomt cliques of the etock market. The coaneettos
hetwsen the two markets is very obvious to ono
familial' with the course of alfolrs in
Wall street. An advance in the pre
mium is almost certain always to prodace a nee
in stocks* The depreciation in greenbacks thus implied
creates a more reckless aid a more speculative feeling.
People nbo hold greenbacks under such circumstances
are cispoted to invest them. It is a fact wall known in
(he jewel/y trade, lor instance, that the higher the price
of gold the greater the demand for gold and silver ware.
The tendency of the market is naturally to a yielding
in the premium, and hence the strong effo.ta made to
sustain it. Millions of dollars have been lacked
up. but thus far without success. . .Indeed* the
price today went down to 13&, which so
alamed the that another effort U on foot to
make gold scarce. This afternoon these who had loans
out were taking them in against an expected tightening
qi the market to-morrow. The loans mado to-day before

; ’Fhe Haw Pubiio Boiudinos.—A meeting of
the Public Building .Commissioners was held this
afternoon in theSelectCouncUchamber, Wm.B.
Btokley, Esq., Frcsident,' id' the chair. Mr.
Waiter, Chairmen of the Committee on Plans
and Architecture, presented the following: ■
; The Comml tteo on Afchiteotnre andTPians re
ipectfully request the Commission to'ask City
Councils to amend the ordinance providing for
the erection of Public Buildings,- bystrihine Out
the words “plans and” in the second line of the
second section; so- as to leavo the Commlflalon
flee to obtain plans and designs in Such manner
as they may deem most advantageous to the pub
lio interest. . .
' As the ordinance now6tands.there la
tlve left but to advertise for plans. The Com
mittee are of the opinion that this would not be
the best course to pnreue to insure satisfactory
results. Itis well Known that architects of skill
and reputation refuse, as a general rote, to far
nish designs in competition for any public: work,
unless they are assured, first, that the successful
competitor will be appointed the architect of the
building, under the established rates' of per ;
centsge; second, that unsuccessful competitors
who have made designs worthy of notice, will be
paid for iheir labor and their-drawings returned
to them; and . third, that the duty of deciding
upon the merits of their respective designs shall be
confided to Buch as know something of their art.
: * '. * * After matnre deliberation, the Com
mittee have come to the conclusion that the in
terests of the City will be best promoted by se
lecting an architect of acknowledged ability and
reputation in bis art, and employing him profes
sionally to prepare designs, drawings and
specifications for the new tralldlnss, under the
directions of the Committee on Architecture and
Plane; the eaid designs when completed, to be
submitted to the Commission for approval. As
eobn Bsthisls accomplished, proposals forlabor
and material may be advertised for and contracts
awarded, as provided forln the ordinance.
The committee offered a resolution reanesting
City Councils to amend the ordinance in accord
ance witii the views expressed in the report.
The report was accepted, and the resolution
was adopted.
The President presented a communication
from Weymes Jobson, submitting a plan for the
new buildings.
Col. Pago submitted * plan prepared by a citi
zen who, he'said, bad taken a great interest In
the erection of the buildings in Independence
Bqnare.
Both communications were referred to the
Committee on Architecture and Plans. -
Col. Page submitted the following:
Resolved, That the Connells of the City having
by ordinance fixed Independence Square os the
site for the Public Buildings, and devolved upon
this Commission the duty of carrying out the
provisions of the said ordinance, it is incumbent
upon us to act as a unit upon the question of the
Bite, however we msy diner upon other ques
tions; and that no member, whatever his private
opinion may boas to the site, can, in good faith
to his colleagues, seek to defeat it, the more es
pecially so if his official position gives him
power or inflnence not possessed Jay other mem
bers of the Board.
Col. Page sold be Offered the resolution in per
fect good faith, and without any bat the best of
feelings towards any member of the Commission.
Mr. Stokley said that, as a member of the Com
mission, he woald indorse heartily everything
which is done in regard to the erection of the
bnildings on Independence Square; bnt, as a
member of City Councils, be reserved the right
to vote as he pleased. At the last meeting of City
Councils, while a resolution was pending, he sat
perfectly qnlet in the chair and took no -part in
the proceedings,except to make a remark jokingly
to Mr. Fox. This remark had been taken by the
reporter of a morning paper merely for the pur
pose of getting a Blap at the President of Select
Council. It the reporter repeats any such con
duct again, he shall be excluded from the Cham
ber.
Mr. Fox, a member of Select Connell who was
present at the meeting of the Commission, en
dorsed the statement of tho President in regard to
what bad tahen place at the meeting of Select
Connell on Thursday last.
Col. Page explained that his resolution was not
offered In view of any remarks or action of the
President of Select Connell, as reported in the
newspapers, but was called out by certain re
marks mode by the Chief Commissioner of High
ways during the meetings of this Commission.
Mr. SporiDg referred to an article which had
appeared in a morning paper recently, quoting
acta of the provisional government of the
State, and the act of 1816, to show tho
restrictions of Independence Bqu»ro for
building purposes, and allnded to later
legislation between 1858 and 1860 repealing the
former acts, so that at the present time there Is
the fullest authority for the erection of buildings
npon any and every part of the Square.
The resolution of Col. Page was unanimously
adopted. Adjourned.
Fonkral or an Old Soldier. —The funeral of
Mr. Jacob A. Bender, who died in thiß city on
