The Constitutional Amendment.
After a great deal of backing-and-
filling floundering, the negro suffrage
amendment has at last passed both
Houses in the following form :
Be it resolved, &e., two thirds of both
Houses concurring, that the following
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States be submitted to the Leg-
islatures of the several States, and
when ratified by three-fourths thereof,
it shall be part of said Constitution.
ARTICLE 15. The right of the citi-
zens of the United States to vote shall
not be denied or abridged by the Uni-
ted States, or by any State, on account
of race, color, or previous condition of
servitude.
SkcrioN 2. The Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by appro-
priate legislation.
The World says: This differs from
the bill as it came from the Senate by
dropping the right of the negroes to
hold office and omitting religion and
education. We have strong hopes
that this amendment will not be rati-
fied by three-fourths of the States.
should encourage the friends of State
rights to make a vigorous opposition to
the amendment in every State where
there is an inch of ground to fight up-
on.
Judge Woodward made the point of
ment ought to be submitted to the
President for his approval. His point
of order was ruled out by the Speaker,
new, and cited various authorities,
Court, in support of his ruling. The
language of the Constitution, taken
but almost necessitates, Judge Wood-
ward's interpretation ; and the author-
ities on the other side, so far as the re-
ved, give no satisfactory reasons for de-
viating from th: strict language of th
Constitution.

REL DL UL
The Cause and the Remedy.
The Metropolitan Record. in discus-
gesting the means of getting rid of it
comes directly te the cause and the
remedy. Jt says:
“It is idle to speculate upon the eases
of the lax morality that almost ey.ory-
where stares usin the face. It is the
worst affectation in the world to pretend
mot to be eonseious of them. A wick-
ed civil war breeding corruption at
every pore of the body politic; the ele-
vation of bad men to office ; the degra-
dation of labor; a debased paper cur-
rency, stimulating false values, and
giving free reign to all manner of ex-
travagance and luxury tell the whole
story. The corrective, no doubt, will
come in good time, but the very first
step to a change for the better, it seems
to us, is the annihilation of the wicked
party, to whose baneful influences di-
rectly or indirectly, so many crimes,
social aud political. are justly attribu-
ted. Tothat end let good men labor,
and the labor, we are p rsuaded will

A Strange Claim. |
Mr. Summer has been a number of |
days past, pres<ing a claim of Massa- |
chusetts upon the treasury, for services |
rendered the country during the war of
1812-15. It would be interesting to
know what those services were. If his. |
tory is to be credited, the authorities of
that State prohibited the drafting of
her citizens into the armies of the Re.
public, then at war with Great Britain,
or the marching of her militia to repel
an invading foe upon our northern
lines :—and furthermore, that the Hart-
ford Convention intended to effect the
secession of the New England States |
from the Union and place them under
the protection of the same foe, origina-
ted in Massachusetts ynder the special
guardianship of the Essex Junto,
treasonable eabil made u p of the
most influential citizens of DBos-
ton.
If services were rendered hy that
State of a value so great as to oyerbal-
ance her treasonable acts and designs,
ageravated, as they were, by their oc-
currence in the face of a foreign ene-
my, let them be paid for. But it can-
not be denied that a suspicion is thrown
over the claim by thelong delay in pre-
senting it : more especially as bash-
fulness or modesty neverstood in the
way of interest with the citizens of
Massachusetts. It, therefore, looks
very much as if they had been waiting
for their unworthy conduct to be for-
gotton before putting iv their bill and
places, but should leave such selection

The Copper Tariff Bill.
The New York Post, the leading R -
publican journal of that eity, referring
to the veto of the copper tariff’ bill by
President Johnson, remarks:
The President's veto of the copper
tariff bill is a brief and pointed sum
mary of the leading arguments against
it. The facts set forth in outline by
Mr. Johnson conclusively show the
bill to be a scheme for plunder, sure to
prove injurious to the revenue, and
unjust and oppressive to the people.
They were given in detail in the Post
( while the bill was pending, and no an-
| swer was made to them, either in Con-
gress or in the press, by the represen-
| tatives of the monopolists. Against a
demonstration of its wrong the bill was
passed through both Houses by a ma-
jority which feared to offend the band
of conspirators that were to profit by it.
