passed:

Houses concurring, That the following article
be proposed to the Legislatures OF the several

three-fouths of said Legislatures, shall be valid
to all intents and purposes as a part OF the said
Constitution namely: b.

A Gift to the Fair.

Mr.. VIM. Fl. Aspinwall has presented to
the Sanitary Fair black horse of unsur-
passed beauty and of great value. In one
of Mr.. Willis letters to the Home Journal,
published four or five years ago, the fol-
lowing mention of this animal appears:
The conversation turning accidentally on the
build Of war-steeds, as shown in the pictures by
the old masters, Mr.. Aspinwall (who was kindly
showing to Mr.. Gray and myself the admirable
collection of works of art which he has so liber-
ally thrown open to the public, asked if we
would like to see horse tina: was somewhat of
the ideal type; and led the way by an adjoining
staircase to his stable, where-wonderful as
were the treasures of the gallery We had just
left--the groom nnblanketed marvel of
beauty which I coveted more than all the
masterpieces on the walls. 1t was q coal-black
stallion, which Mr.. A. had CHANGED to see
while travelling in Spain, and which, appre-
ciating at once with his artistic and well-dis.
ciplined5 eye for the beautiful, he bought at
great cost and sent home. The voyage was
rough, and the impatient creature suffered
somewhat from the long Imprisonment in
the hold of o sailing vessel; but he is now re-
covered, and, with the exception of mark
or two from bis injuries on ship-board, stands
matchless in his natural spirits and proper
tiOns. Mr.. Aspinwall's son rides him daily,
and it Is, in fact, the finest possible model of
horse, built exclusively for the saddle

u If it should pass the House (and it must
have tWo-thirds vote) it must, before be-
coming q part Of the constitution, be rati-
fed by three, fourths of the States. Speak
ing Of the probability Of this, the New
York Herald says: 11
We think it highly probable that before the
adjournment of the present session of congress
o majority of two-thirds will be gained in the
House. II that majority does not now exist in
favor CT the constitutional abolition of slavery.
And what then7, Aratifcation by three-fourths
of the States, including in the count the rebel
lious States. This would give, us thirty five
States in all, and, with the admission Of Ne
braska, Colorado, and Nevada, thirty-eight.
Three fourths of this number would be twenty
nine. There are twenty five States now repre-
scented In Congress, and three more ready to
come in-Arkansas, Louisiana, and Tennessee.
These will make the number represented
twenty-eight. Add Nebraska. Colorado, and
Nevada. and We shall have thirty-one All
these excepting. perhaps, Kentucky-if put
to the test, will ratify this great constitutional
amendment; but as twenty mine will do the
work, Kentucky may be spared The amend
ment thus adopted will be precisely the same
In its binding effect upon oil the States here
after, rs If the outside nine had voted unani-
mously against it, See the Constitution.

OFFS. WELLS WILLIAMS, Esq, secretary of
legation and interpreter to China, dated
November z, 1868, transmitting his ac-
counts for salary, &C., to the Treasury
Department:
~ Of the balance due me ($4G4. O3) on
the face of this account l would like to pay
out OF it the sum of $500 for substitute in the
army, or if this arrangement would not be
exactly proper, seeing that am excusable from
the draft by age, wish the same sum might
be paid to the Christian Commission in New
York, for the relief of soldiers and sailors.
Though have been a resident of China for
nearly thirty years, feel as much interest in
maintaining the Union as if had lived in the
United States, and l wish to help the cause.

Chaplain Sunderland,s Prayer,


The following is the prayer recently
offered in the United States Senate, by
Rev. DR.. SUNDERLAND, Chaplain of Con-
gress, to which exceptions were taken by
Mr.. SALISBURY, of Delaware:
Pat far away from rs. we beseech thee, On,
God, the miserable sophistry that would gam
bic in the sacred trusts and interests of human
nature, with the more miserable coinage and
catchword of the despot and the conspirator,
and that, turning to the same malign purposes
of human arrogance and oppression. would
wrest, and distOrt, and polute the very volume
OF divine inspiration itself; for though man
may prove from the sacred page the existence
of slavery, yet may he also prove from the
same sacred source the existence and divine
saction of hell itself. Yet we are admonished
to prefer liberty to either, and flee alike from
wrath. y

Tae Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury, GEO. HARRINGTON, authorizes the
publication Of the following:
The statement contained in a special dispatch
to the New York World. of the 7th inst. that
the interest on the ten-forty will probably be
raised to six per cent, is incorrect. There is
no reason to doubt that bonds bearing five per
cent, principal and interest payable in gold,
will command all the money the Treasury will
need to borrow. Instructions to the National
rs, and he subscriptions reported to the United
States Treasurer up to april 6 amounted 10

subscriptions will rapidly increase as soon as
the various agencies are organized and in ope-
ration throughout the country. 80.

templates bringing criminal suit against

absconding swinder when he was attempt

sort to this means of making arrest, and
base it upon the fact that he had not a

of the cases will be for obtaining goods

which, in Ohio, is very light. His trans
