assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report.
The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there-
fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather
more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent.

The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden-
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by nearly £19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.
The expenses of management are less than those of last
year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5i
per cent. on the total income.

711 E PROPOSED CONS2ITUTIONAL
AMENDM EN .

__---~

~~

Id.
STAMPED

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
On Thursday a telegram from Washington was
published showing that the Senate by 40 votes
to 16 had passed a resolution proposing a Constitu-
tional Amendment, to which the Representatives
had previously agreed, though it is now back in the
House for concurrence iu Amendments. The pro-
posal is one which has lately much occupied the at-
tention both of Congress and of the States, and
when the Federal Legislature met resolutions to the
effect were introduced by many Senators and Re-
presentatives. The one upon which action has been
taken was that introduced by Mr. BOUTWELL,
which was fiercely attacked by Mr. ELDRIDGE on the
27th January, who denied the right of Congress
to meddle in the matter; lie considered it to be au
attempt to reorganize the States that did not rebel,
and if the party forced it on the country it would
be a shameful violation of pledges and faith, and
had it been known that such a result would have
followed, the Republican candidates, notwithstand-
ing their personal popularity, would have been de-
feated for I'resident and Vice-President. We quote
Mr. ELDRIDGE, because his is one way of regarding
the subject. The amendment Congress proposes
for the Constitution is to prohibit any disqualifica-
tion in the exercise of the suffrage on account of
race, colour, nativity, property, education, or
creed. The correspondent of the Times telegraphs
the resolution in a way calculated to mislead those
who understand the Government of the Republic
so little as do the English—
" The Constitutional Amendment enacting Negro suf-
frage has been passed by the Senate."
The Senate cannot enact a Constitutional Amend-
ment, nor can Congress. Every amendment must
be submitted to the States, and it is necessary for
three-fourths to concur before the Constitution can
be so amended. Suffrage is a State, not a Federal
matter, and in consequence the laws relating
thereto vary considerably ; Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and
Wisconsin admit no distinction of colour ; in New
York, a negro to be qualified must own a free-
hold worth $250. Other States deny the right to
the Africans while allowing it in a qualified way to
the Indians; for instance, Michigan, California, and
Minnesota, and Wisconsin till lately. In Indiana,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas,
and Illinois it is not absolutely essential to be a
citizen to exercise the suffrage. A law in force in
the Pacific States of California, Oregon, and Ne-
vada, expressly excludes Chinamen ; and it is in
the face of this that we anticipate future difficulty
should the proposed amendment eventually be car-
ried. There is no use in closing our eyes to facts
which, if ignored, may eventuate in their being dis-
agreeably opened. The Pacific States are placed
in a very peculiar position. Their's is not a negro
difficulty, yet it may become a problem even harder
to solve. These States possess the most inviting of all
territories within reach of an Empire densely peopled
by a race wholly dissimilar from native Americans.
Trade between these countries is rapidly on the in-
crease ; the Chinese, who in these States have
proved useful, are becoming more and more a colo-
nizing people ; and should it happen that the mania
for emigration spreads into the interior of the
Flowery Empire, they might settle over the fair
face of California like locusts, swamping the Anglo-
Saxon race. The negro is a fixed quantity, for
which provision can be made ; the Chinese inroad
is au unknown quantity, the uncertainty adding
mystery, and giving scope for exaggeration. That
there is a dread of what may happen, not only on
the Pacific slope but throughout Australia, is clear
from the legislative action of both countries. The
testimony of a Chinaman was recently rejected in a

California Court, on the ground that he was not a
" person" within the meaning of the Fourteenth
Amendment. Those the inroad does not threaten may
condemn such action as illiberal, and opposed to all

principles of freedom, as well as of Christianity ;
but those who are threatened scout the argument
and enforce the restriction, broadly asserting that

it is a measure of safety and future well-being, not
of argument, which they freely concede it cannot

bear. From this will flow an. opposition, the full
force of which, added to the existing dislike

to the negro, the proposed Constitutional-Amend-

ment will have to overcome. In 1865 twelve

amendments to ate Constitution bad been

paised, but in that year, as the grand result
of the war, a thirteenth was added abolishing
slavery for ever in the Republic. The fourteenth
amendment was the one enforced on the unrecon-

stcucted States, by which all persons born or natu-
ralized in the Union were made citizens, both of the
Republic and of the State wherein they reside, and

no State shall have power to abridge their equal
rights before the law. Another section apportioned
the Representatives in the several States counting
every one except untaxed Indians, but curtailing
the number in proportion, as the State disqualifies
its male inhabitants over twenty-one years of age.
Herein, then, we see that the thirteenth amendment

abolishes slavery, the fourteenth amendment makes

citizens of all persons born or naturalized within the
United States, and apportions to each State Federal

representation in proportion to the population per-
mitted to vote. The resolution now passed by Con-

gress proposing a fifteenth amendment will pro-
hibit race, colour, nativity, property, education, or

- -
creed from being a bar to the suffrage. If this be car-

ried, another blow will be struck at States Rights. In

Massachusetts no one is entitled to vote or can hold
office who cannot read the Constitution in English,
and write his name; that must be abolished. In Rhode
Island the voter must own real estate worth $134 ;

n North Carolina, a freehold of 50 acres for six

months—that will be abolished. Then the mass of
the States which enact that no negro or mulatto has

;he right of suffrage will have to rescind such law,

but there are a few States it will not affect, such as

Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Under the
rule of the Republican party the Republic has ad-

vanced to an unequalled degree of freedom; it may
be that the advance is too rapid, and that a reac-
tion will follow ; but whatever may be the result,
under such leaders as SUMNER and TIIAD. STEVENS

the party has made a noble effort to clothe man in

all his natural rights ; and if, like some of the in-
corrigible paupers of English unions, he cuts up
from pure wantonness the clothes in which he has
been arrayed, it will only furnish another proof of
the " cussedness" of human nature. Let us hope
that an effort so grand may meet the success it
merits.

properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalents, Arabica
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received front Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21,1866. - The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We
extract a few out of more than 68,000 cures:—Cure No. 58,216, of
the Marchioness do Brehan, of seven years' liver complaint
wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitation,
all over, bad digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the most in-
tolerable nervous agitation. Cure No 1.771: Lord Stuart de
Decies, Lord-Lieutenant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia.
No. 49,832: "Fifty years indescribable agony from dyspepsia,
nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms,
sickness, and vomiting —Maria Joly." Cure No. 46,270: Mr.
James Roberts, of Frimley, Surrey, of 30 years' diseased lungs,
spitting of blood, liver derangement, and partial deafness. Im-
portant Caution—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than
sloppy imitations to which, without authority, Baron.,Liebig's
name is most audaciously attached.
