The Suffrage Amendment.
Senator Buckalew proposed to the Sen
ate, the other day, an excellent amendment
to the proposed suffrage- amendment to the
Constitution, viz ; That it shall bo submit
ted for ratification to the Legislatures of the
several State#, the iuosV numerous branch
es of which shall be chosen next after the
passage of this resolution.
This meets the objection of the extra ex
pense of a constitutional convention in each
State, which has, doubtless, had its weight
in determining the choice, hitherto uniform
iu all our adopted or proposed amendments,
between the two methods of submission to
people authorized in the supreme law.
But it also escapes the objection generally
made to that choice, and insisted upon with
so much force by Senator Dixon last week,
that, if the Legislatures now sitting pass
upon the amendment, it will be adopted or
rejected by bodies not elected by the people
to and fitted for that duty.
Another consideration in favor of Sena
tor Buekalew's plan, is, that the term of
adoption or rejection will thus be limited to
a reasonable and definite period, and the
anomalous condition of things avoided
which now exists with respect to the XlYtli
Amendment. That amendment has not
been carried by the votes of three-fourths
of the State Legislatures, except the count
includes those which, having ratified, after
wards rejected the same. The opinion of
every constitutional lawyer of any rank, "is
that no State, a party to the contract, is
concluded by its own consent till the requi
site three-fourths unite in their consent;
till which specific moment of time the con
sent of any State may be withdrawn. New
Jersey, Ohio, and Oregon withdrew their
consent before tliree-fonrtlis of the States
had united therein ; but likewise did anoth
er State ratify after it had at first rejected ;
and this ratification cannot IK? accounted
legal upon any principal-which will not ex
clude the ratifications of Oregon, Ohio, and
New Jersey, reversed by equal authority.
Yet where does this leave us ? Why, in
the condition that 110 amendment can be
finally be rejected. A hundred years hence,
the now rejected XlYtli may I*-come the
ratified XlVth Amendment, and tho Con
stitution is thus put in a state of perpetual
flux. Senator Buckalflt's amendment ought
to be accepted even by the fanatics of ne
gro suffrage in the House. — Ex.
~As EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF TRANCE. — A
cumber of our city physicians went out to
Burlington yesterday to investigate the case
of a child which for twenty days has been
in a trance. The ease is pronounced one of
the most remarkable that ever came under
the notice of the medical faculty, and there
is a little wonder that it creates something
of a sensntiorf. A little daughter, twelve
years of age, named Mina, of Christian
Rausch, a German farmer, living about one
and a half miles from Burlington, Racine
county, in this State, had a severe attack
of measlce and diphtheria. She had near
ly recovered from these on the Sth of Jan
nary, when she called her fi#h<*r to her 1 sal -
side and told him that she was going to
sleep, and that she should sleep for a long,
long time. She said she should look as
though were dead, but she should not be
dead ; and she made the father promise
that he would not bury her, which promise,
it may bo readily supposed, has been faith
fully kept, Soon after making the request
the child, to all appearances, sank quietly
and peacefully into her last sleep. By all
it was supposed Mina was dead, and the
body was enshrouded and placed in a coffin.
After the sleep the body showed no signs of
death, although the pulse and the heart
ceased to perform their pulsations, and no
device could show that the respiratory or
gans were in use. The eyes closed. In this
state Mina has lain now for twenty days
without a sign of life and with no sign of
death other than a sinking of cheeks and
eyes, which would l)e natural with one who
had fasted for so long a jieriod. Throe days
ago a vein was. tapped and blood tlowed as
naturally as it would in a living person.
A blister raised on the flesh precisely as it
would on that of one alivo. A neighbor of
Mr. Rausch told our reporter that he had
pressed a finger on the hand of the girl.
Her flesh was solid, and upon taking away
the finger the spot was white. In a few
seconds the color came again, precisely as
it would if the flesh of a living persons were
pressed in the same manner. Under these j
circumstances it is reasonable for parents
and friends to believe tliat the child lies in
a trance, and there is little wonder that the
case is attracting so much attention among
the medical faculy. It will be watched j
carefully to the end, and with interest A
large number of persons have visited the
the house of Mr. Rausch, and all express '
themselves as lost in wonder and amaze- 1
ment at this strikingly strange affair. '

The Bro&dhe&d Murder Trial.
A corresponden writiugt from Strouds
bnrg to the Scran ton' Reyublican in sjieak
ing of the Brodhead murder, and the crim
inals, whose death penalty has been sud
denly stayed by order of Court, says '
The excitement iu this county iu regard
to the Brodhead murder case, continues
rather to grow than t<4 subside. Murder,
in the lirst degree, is a new thing in the
history of Monroe county. In the past
there are two such charges but neither were
sustained bv the court.
The fact too, that the convicts. Brooks
and Orme, have compeetely withheld every
part of their previous history, even their
true names, from the public, gives addi
tional interest to the case ; and the curious
have endeavored to slake their appetite by
the invention of innumerable which
whilst they have kept the people 011 tip-toe,
have amounted to nothing. All that is
known of Brooks and Orme, previous to
the morning they were put off a coal train
near Strondsburg, is a blank that 110 one
has read but themselves. They are not
men in whom the brute nature would seem
to hold predominance ; men, too, of at
least a faiPlßueation; young, and rather
below medium in size. All these features
have attended t<> awaken interest, and
these, with expressions of penitence for the
past, have brought out friends to do all
they can for them, and at least avert if pos
sible the death penalty.
The Court of Errors have granted a hear
ing, on the first Monday in March, and as
that carries the ease past the 2<>th iust., the
day fixed for the execution, and also past
our February term of Court, if a now trial
Is grunted it cannot take place before the
Muv term.
Tiie exceptions taken ly the counsel of
prisoners to the rulings of Judge Barrett,
were in relation to the right of private per
sons making arrests of those whom they
way suspect of having committed a larceny.
The Judge instructed the jury that private
citizens had that right equal to an officer of
the law who had a warrant in his hands.—
It seems in the laws of Pennsylvania there
is barely a precedent to this case, and a
question is to be settled which will stand
as law in all eases of this kind in future.—
Judge Barrett is an able jurist, and he was
very positive in his rulings on this point,
although he said if a private citizen male
a false arrest he must bear the consequence.
The defence claims that is a private citizen
receives bodily harm in an arreet a plea of
murder cannot la' set up, for lie had no
right to attempt an arrest, and though
death follow, it cannot go beyond inan ;
slaughter.
The Hon. Geo. W. "Woodward stat
ed the Georgia ease in this terse and vig
orous style, in tlx- debate of Thursday of
last week : .
But, now, Mr. Speaker. I beg to inquire
why the vote of Georgia should not have
been counted ; why it should have lieen
counted witli a qualification ? That qualifi
cation was admirably stated by the Presi
dent of the Convention when he said that
the effect of the concurrent resolution was
to count the vote of Georgia if it meant
nothing, and not to count the vote if it
meant anything. When he said that, he
stated the legal elicet and consequence of
that resolution precisely. Now, 1 ask, why
should a sovereign State of this Union IK'
treated in that manner ? Listen to it ! The
nation will listen to the words of Mr. Wade,
uttered from that seat yesterday, that the
two Houses had deckled that if the vote of
Georgia would effect nothing it should be
counted, and if it would effect anything it
should not be counted. If you treat Geor
gia in that manner this year, what State
may you not treat in the same manner next
year, or on some future occasion ? What
is that but a dissolution of the Union ?
Will you say that Georgia is not in the
Union ? Here are her members sittiusr on
this floor. What right have they to be
here if Georgia is not in the Union ? Geor
gia, has been in the Union from the begin
ning, she has never been out of the Union,
unless you allege, what I deny, that her at
tempted secession took her out of the
Union. But you say her act of secession
was null and void, and she herself has so
declared and repealed the act, and you have
reconstructed her. She is not only the
original Georgia, but a Georgia reconstruc
ted by this Bepublican Congress. Then, I
ask, why should not her electorial vote be
counted like the vote of any other State ?
NIK EXCELLENCY, TOP. PRESIDENT.—HOW
few people seem to know that His Excel
lency the President is a misnomer, the of
ficial designation of the C'heif Magistrate of
the the Republic, so far as he has one, be
ing simply The President. In the conven
tion framing the Constitution there were
various propositions as to the title to be
given the Executive, and, among others,
one that lie should be styled Excellency,
This failed, as did all the others, the decis
ion l>eing that he should be styled simply
what the Constitution itself calls him It
will be noticed that Mr. Seward, who is
scrupulously exact in these matter,'invaria
bly addresses his communications to The
; President, and, perhaps, rigidly simple as
this may seem, it was meant to l>e as full of
meaning as the plain title with which roy
alts appears, not His Majesty, or His Chris
tian Majesty, or His Catholic Majesty, but
.'•The King."
fts?" The reticence of General Grant has
completely demoralized the army of office
seekers. No one appears to know any
thing about the General's "little game,"
and the only consolation each one has is
that, any how, he knows as much as his
neighbor what the General intends to do.
All kinds of efforts have been made to get
the General to open his mouth, hut they
have all failed, and the mum candidate is 1
in reality the mum President. Perhaps
the General has read the ancient rhyme : j
