The Constitutional Abolition of slavery.
Yesterday will forever live among the
anniversaries of freedom, Slavery, the
curse of American civilization, the cause
of the war, the victim of the war, is now
not oulf abolished by military necessity,
but prohibited *by law. The; passage of
the joint resolution of the House, submit
ting to the Legislatures of the Stares the
amendment to the Constitution forbidding
slavery within the limits of the nation, is
equivalent to its adoption. Three-fourths
of the Legislatures will vote for the amend
ment, and in this year of 1865 will be com
pleted the formal regeneration of the Re
public. In these simple words America
has written her repentance for the past
and her solemn pledge for the future
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
except as a punishment for crime whereof
the party shall have been duly convicted,
shall mist within. the United States, or
any place subject to their jurisdiction.
congress shalt have power to enforce this
article by appropriate legislation.
Into the Constitution will pass with these
emphatic words a new inspiration, and
no one can foresee the vast results of good
that will follow the declaration. The
passage of this amendment makes the dis
cussion of the constitutionality of the
Brdancipation Proclamation unnecessary ;
it removes the dangers and temptations
that would otherwise have accompanied
the cessation of the war, and makes
the reconstruction of the Union indefinitely
easier. With the success of the war; it
will make the sacrifice of slavery, said to
be intended by the rebel leaders as a rea
son for European recognition, worthless.
It removes forever the sable stain from the
bright flag of the Republic ; liberates un
conditionally a race that throughout this
war has been the Invaluable ally of the
Union ; establishes free labor in all our ter
ritory ; pledges the American future to
freedom, and, upon the broad basis of equal
rights, rebuilds the law of the country.
The vote in the House yesterday was a
triumph for that little .party which, thirty
years ago, declared the Constitution to be
a covenant with hell, though the truth of
this sweeping assertion is not proved by
the amendment. It is a triumph far greater
for the American people, for the Adminis
tration which was elected to resist slavery
in 1860 presides over its abolition in 1863.
It is even more than this : it is a triumph
for the colored rac, which thus receives,
from the highest authority in the land, the
denial of the assertion that it is not - worthy
to be free, and the opportunity of de-
Telopment. It is a triumph for the South,
"which, if it does not now understand
the blessirig, it will presently prove. To
the Democratic party it is an esPecial
honor, for members of thb Opposition
saved the' resolution from defeat. 411
honor should be given to those impartial
men who broke loose from party control
to sustain a great principle and give new
assurance to the restoration of the Union.
The services of these gentlemen will be
remembered long after party lines are ob
iolete. By their action the amendment is
rtually passed ; nothing remains but its
tiftektionidy the Legislatures of the seve
ra
Staidritt formality easily effected,
THE ROLL OF HONOR.
The following are the names of- those
members of the Opposition in the House
-of Representatives who voted for the joint
resolution submitting to the people of the
United States the amendment to the Con.
stitution prohibiting slavery :
JOSEPH GAILY, Pennsylvania.
AUGUSTUS C. BALDWIN, Michigan.
ALEXANDER ti. COFFROTH, Pennsylvania..
JAMES E. ENGLISH, Connecticut.
JOHN B. GANSON, New York.
ANSON G. HERRICK, New York.
'WELLS A. HUTCHINS, Ohio.
AUSTIN A. KING, Missouri.

HOMER A. NELSON, New York.
MOSES F. ODELL, New Yurk.
WILLIAM RADFORD, New York.
JOHN B. STEELE, New York.
EZRA WHEELER, Wisconsin.
One 'hundred and seventy-five votes were
cast, of which 117 were necessary to the
passage of the resolution. The votes of
these fourteen members of the Opposition,
added to the*. Union vote of 105, achieved
the great triumph of freedom.
The Peace Rumors.
Nothing yet confirms/ the report that
peace commissioners from Richmond are
on their way to Washington. But the tele
grams we print to-day give color to the
probability that the visit of Mr. BLAIR to
Richmond is to have the courtesy of a
return. Even though ALEXANDER H.
STEPHENs, Vice President of the Confede
racy, and -- Senators HUNTER and CAMP
41a may bye gentlemen who are coming
to Washington to see if peace can be made,
we do not believe that they come with au
thority from JEFF Devm and General LEE
to make submission to the Government of
the Vnited States. The reasons for this dis
belief we, have repeatedly given.

reignty are probably her quandotn de

Thus stands Georgia towards the other
members of the rebellion, not forgetting
its own •share of sacrifice in that catastrophe,
but, ' rather, impartially tired out, and
ready to accept peace per force as a cir.
cumstance and a necessity. How much
sentiment Ocorgia entertains for the Union
is less readily answered. Hundreds of her
citizens now denounce the war on both
sides; many speak of the Union as it was,
and of constitutional rights, as thoughlthe
war had never been. All the Unionism,
and, indeed, a great part of the anti
rebellion sentiment of Georgia, since
the rebel project to arm the slaves,
is decidedly pro-slavery. Few or none can
be convinced that emancipation is not the
synonym of irremediable ruin. Mingle
these' elements described with the large
class who have no asserted opinions, who
are converted by facts, and desire most to
make a comfortable livelihood, and the
Union movement in Georgia, as it is termed,
is tolerably appreciable. Outside of the
reactionary feeling still exists a sullen
and concealed spirit of enmity, for which
all who calculated upon reconciliation
by tableaux roust make allowance. The
conversion of Georgia to a genuine friend
ship with the Union must be necessarily
slow, if in the end sure. Emancipation
must work its way through hatred and
bitterness, and the rebellion must receive
more blows and more disasters. In the
meanwhile we may cherish the real Union
ists which Georgia does possess, and find
guaranty for her safety in the manumitted
population. The Government has already
found in Georgia men who retained their
faith in the Union through all calamity,
and it is such men who will doubtless Wear
a distinguished part in the destiny of the
new and ransomed State.
AEMY.OIF THE POTOREAC.
AN RXECIITION AND A RESPITE—A CALLOUS O$IYI•
NAL—COLD wavreER—LIVELY PIOEZP rEIZING.
—Mr. C. Edmunds' Despatch.—
CSpeclal Correeondonce or no Press. )
CITY POINT, Va., Jan. 28, 1865
Yesterday, at nod], an exeontion, witnessed by
thousands of persons, took place above the railroad,
just within the second line of fortifloations girdling
this point on the sonthwestern side. The crime was
desertion to the enemy, anctlbe criminal was Newell
H. Root, alias George H.. / Efarris, Company H, let
Connecticut Heavy Artillery. It is worth notleing
here that all those men who make a business of de-
Berth:lg, and of being hung for it, have always one,
and sometimes two or three aliases. They may
desert in Virginia, end return to our lines in Ken
tucky, or further- west, yet almost invariably they
are caught, so thoroughly has the detective system
been perfected to bring about their apprehension.
Root was as hardened a wretch as ever trod a
gallows. He mounted the steps, and stood upon
the trap, with no change of feature or of oolor, and
without the quiver of a musoie. He made no denial
of lffs guilt at the last moment, but professed igno
rance of the fact that there was each a thing as et
"guard." He had never heard of guards, he said,
in his experience of soldier life; and seemed to
think that this dissembled ignorance should entitle
hiss at least to a reprieve. He was asked If he
would have a chaplain. ttHe didn't think it would
make any difference to him in half an Our." Pro
bably he was right. The repentance of such men,
when the rope is being put • about their necks, can
not be believed to have much saving efficacy. Just
before the trap was strung he did tremble a little,
but from no unmanly feeling of sensitiveness ; he
could fade death unmoved, but shuddered at the
keenness of the morning air. A few minutes past
twelve o'clock, without a prayer, almost without a
atruggle,,he gave up life.
There was to have been another execution death
soene yesterday in the same vicinity. Simon T.
Shaffer, alias Samuel Jefferson, of the 16th New
York Volunteer Engineers, was sentenced to be
shot, likewise at noon, but a respite was granted the
unfortunate man. Erom.present appearances, Win
ter Is inclined to linger in-the lap of Spring, with us.
The weather is as cold and intractable as we have
ever felt it North, and ice Is not a rarity. It would
be ralar cold to snake any extensive military move
ment, though the roads were never In a more favora
ble conditiontherefor. Both armies are lying very
quiet, watching each other warily. It Is so cold at
night that the...pickets keep up an unusually brisk
firing, to warmly profit by the exercise.

THE PRES
PEACE.
CONTINUED, THRONGING RUMORS
OF PEICE.
Corondssioners Asserted, to be Actually
en route for Washington.
Speoulations and Contradictions Asserted and
Reasserted with Equal Vigor.
Below we give balls dozen despatches bearing:A
the Eubjeot of peace—a subject which is now re.
calving the earnest attention of every one, if we
judge by the thousand•and•one rumors which have
grown out of the return. of Mr. Blair. Many reports
were prevalent In this city yesterday, some of them
very wild, but they were generally believed to have
been born in this city, in the minds of stodlt jobbers
and gold operators. Inquiry at proper sources con
cerning their reliability elicited-the following reply :
WASHInGTON, Jan. sl-1 P. M.—Nothing can be
obtained confirmatory Of the reports prevalent at
Philadelphia that rebel peace commissioners were
on their way from Richmond to Washington.
In Baltimore there was a similar excitement, as
the following despatch shows
BALTIMORE, Jan. 31.—Ramors Of important news
are °arrant here to-day.
These rumors a later despatch wideh follows
gives us an idea of:
BALTIMORE, Jan. wits currently reported
here laat night, and the report la repeated this
morning, that peace courmiseloners from Molt.
mond are now on the way to Washington.
And Immediately after the receipt of this another
came from the eine° of the Baltimore American,
which reads :
“A report Las been current on the street, since
last evening, that the Riehmend Sentinel had
announced the departure of three peace 00111-
mieslonere for Washington. Up to noon, to-day,
we have no °Metal oonfirmation of the rumor,
though the assertion has been varied' this morn
ing by an equally positive announcement that
commissioners, consisting of Vice President Ste.
phone and Senators R. M. T. Hunter and Camp
bell, had arrived at City Point, and were expected
at Annapolis today, They are not spoken of as
'commissioners representing the rebel Government,
but as Mime en their way to Washington, to con
fer with President Lincoln on the subjeot of peace,
precisely in the same oapaolty that 'Mr. Blair
visited Richmond.”
A despatch, however, from Annapolis, dated late
last evening, shows that the expectation that the
commissioners would arrive at that place was dis
appointed, for it says :
U There has been no arrival from James river,
and there is no prospect of any to•night.” -
This d.oes not, however, invalidate the foot that
the- commissioners were coming, for a deapateh from
Annapolis yesterday afternoon says :
&iota. Taylor, of the 2d Maryland Regiment, who
arrived here this morning-, says that on Sunday
Alexander .11. Stephens, R. M. T. Hunter, andrwo
others, reached our lines, and requested to come
within our lines near Fort,alll, but were refused,
end were awaiting permission from Gen. Grant,"
who was then absent. It is believed that the , com
missioners were subsequently admitted, neverthe
less, and are now on their way to Washington."
In the midst of this doubt and uncertainty a kind
friend In Baltimore, who desires much to relieve us,
or to let us know exactly how long we must suffer in
suspense, sends In this, dated Baltimore, 10.00 P. M.:
"There is good reason to believe that the Rich
mond papers of Monday, Sonatas , Seth, contain an
explicit statement of the departfire of peace com
missioners for Washington."
We leave tie reader to form his own conolusions
from this mass of surmises and reports.

TER EXPRESSIONS OF MR. WADE IN THE
SENATE.
During the debate on the retaliation resolution in

BLeinis mission to Rlohmond, Mr..Tonnaos asked
how he came to go there. Mr. Wens replied: "I
would like to know—yes, sir, I intend to know—if
there Is the power in the Senate of the United States
to be informed on that subject. I intend to know
why it was that any man was permitted to go with
impunity through our lines and confer with the
arch-traitor of the Confederacy, and come back
hare and go again."
Mr. JOHNSON said he went in a Government
vessel the last time.
Mr. WADE responded: at Yes, I understand he
went in a Government vessel. He had no more
right to be on board that vessel, on- a mission to
hold communication - with the arch-traitor and
dekil, than he had to been his road to the lower
regions in a vehicle farnislied by the Geverninent."

In the office of the Comptroller of the Currency,
yesterday afternoon, in the Treasury Bettlding, has

that she stated to Mx. MoCuLLoomr, the Comp

no harm, but was engaged to her for many years,
even from her childhood, and had oontfnued a cor

She said to the officer who conveyed her to jail she
asked no sympathy for herself. The only sorrow to

the deceased had betrayed her, taking her from her

wish to correct. Be says. among other adage that
Generals Banks and Lee are before the Commi ttee on

which I wish to rectify, because it seems to be a stand

which the Executive whines to make of these °facers.
Mr. WADE farther stated that on the 14th of Deoeta

A BILL TO PREVENT TAMPERING WIVE FIRE
SIGNAL BOXES IN PHILADELPHIA
The further supplement to the act incorporating
the city of Philadelphia, read by Mr. Nichols to
day, it is understood, was prepared under the super
vision of the Mayor. It is well , known that great
trouble and expense have resulted from the frequent
tampering with the signal. boxes of the police and
fire•alarm telegraph, and it le to prevent this that
the above bill has been drafted. It appears that
heretofore there has been no law under which
the persons who are guilty of this tampering could
be punished, but, under the provisions of this further
supplement, any person who shall wilfully give or
cause to be given a false alarm of fire from a signal
box, or shall break or cause to be broken any signal
box, pole, post, or wire, or shall Injure, interrupt, or
Interfere with the same, ho shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and be tined in a slam not exceed
ing $5OO, or imprisonment not less Utah two years, or
both. Such is the purport of the first section, but the
second will probably meet with Teen favor from the
public, especially that portion interested in the pub
lic telegraph lines, as it makes it unlawful for any
person to erect any telegraph posts, poles, or wires
within the corporate limits of Philadelphia, which
shall Oxon or in any way interfere with, the poles
and wires of the pollee and nre-alarm telegraph,
without the consent of the Councils. Upon man-
Went proof such wires and poles may be removed,
and the persons violating this provision are to be
liable to a fine Of 14600 or two years imprisonment,
ft -both.
TBVEBTMINTS BY PUBLIO , OFYIOBBS.
The bill in relation to public °fibers and their.
Undo, read by Mr. Donovan, providesthat no per
son holding a position of profit or trust under the
Government, or being in charge, receipt, custody,
or diebursement of public funds, shall be al
lowed to have any connection with banks or
other moneyed corporations; and that his using
the public funds In his hands for investments
which are to Inure to his' own private benefit
shall subject him to imprisonment and a
fine at the discretion of the court. This bill is evi
dently Intended to hit somebody, but who the de
ponent smith not ; neither does It ispeolfy how Web
a delinquent public officer, Who Is merely following
In the footsteps of his illustrious predeoessors, is to
be dissected in his peculiar investments. When an
ofiloial Invests money it is a difficult and delicate
question to decide as to what pewee, personal or
public, the wherewith is taken from. •
Alf EqUlTalltz DISTRIBUTiON ow mold° LANDS.
The old queen= of -the disposition of, the public
lands donated by the General Government to the
State has again some up, and there is every reason
to believe that the Agricultural College In Centre
county will have a large slice out from the huge loaf
given to them at a l previone session of the Legisits
ture. An animated dismasion will take place, and
the friende of the college will use every effort to re.
fain the immense gratuity. The matter will, doubt
less, be definitely and permanently settled in a few
days, and a more just and proper distribution of the
fund be made. A. bill in reference to the matter has
been offered in the Senate, and Mr. Orwlg has read
one fa the Howe, of widish the following are the
main provisions; The Governor is authorised to
transfer, assign, and 'set over in equal parts to the
Polytechnic College of Philadelphia, the Pennsyl
vania College at - Gettysburg, the Agricultural Col
lege In Centre county, the University lof Western
Pennsylvania at Pittsburg, the Allegheny College
at Meadville, and the University at Lewisburg,
or so many of them as may signify their me
ceptance within three months of the conditions
hereinafter referred to the public lands donated by
the Government. Each of the recipients are to pro•
vide a college or department, the leading object of
which, without excluding other studies, including
military tactics, is to be instruction in such branches
'as relate'to agriculture and the mechanical arts, in
order to promote the pracllcal education of the in
&atrial classes. The scrip IS to be located as soon
as practicable upon the publie lands of the United

A.lloll4lTnerin THBATIZE.—aIi. L. P. Barrett has
appeared at this theatre the present week as Evelyn
in "Money," and as the King of the Commons, in
both performances attracting more than ordinary
attention from intelligent play-goers. Mr. Barrett
is an actor of decided originality, and of very con
siderable power. Hie , perfornfances give evidence
of refinement, culture, and thoutht. He has pas
sion and discretion, but we may say upon this point
that he is occasionally wanting in the proper repose
of the scene. Tbis in so young an actor may not
be a povitive fault ; beds at least earnest, and if ids
manner be somewhat loose or extravagant at Elms%
it is always impressive. He has,a noble voloe and
uses it well; his best effects 'certainly resulting
from the intelligent use of that organ. We would
counsel him to overcome a certain stiffness in his
walk and deportment, whit% at times strikes the
spectator unpleasantly. He stands so exceedingly
erect as to give often a strained effect to a bearing
naturally graceful and dignified. Serious fault
might be found with, his reading in certain pas.
sages, but we let that pass, as he is generally soitl
dielone and always so painstaking as to make it an
ungenerous task. Our judgment is that Mr. Barrett
is, with tue exception of Mr. Edwin Booth, deci
dedly the best of our young actors. He will appear
to-night es Hamlet.

FRIANDIAL AND INIMMERDUL
The new arrangement with Mr. Jay Cooke for the
negotiation of the coven -thirty loan gives general satis
faction in gasuMal circles. It will be remembered that
the old eves twenty loan of May, 1882, was almost us - ,
elected before it was placed in Mr. Cooke's hands for
negotiation, and that its sleet success was due entirely
to the energy. °aperient*. and aptitude with wbloh the
agency system v as applied for the distribution of these
popular seauritlea among all classes of oar Mittens.
The change goes into effect to-day. and there is Tarr
spect that it will be the means of greatly facilitating
the financial operation or the Government.
