THE WEEKLY FREE PRESS
The Constitutional Amendment.

According to an Act of Congress o. 1878,
it is the duty Of the Secretary of State, after
receiving official notice Of the adoption Of a
Constitutional Amendment according to the
provisions of the Constitution, 4" to cause
the Amendment to be published in the news
papers authorized to promulgate the lava,
with his certificate, specifying the States by
which tie same may have been adopted, and
that the same has become valid to all intents
and purposes as a part Of the Constitution
Of the United States
1t appears from dispatch from Washing
ton that the Secretary has as yet received no
official ret I'm Of the ratification by Indiana
1t seems. too, that Iowa, which has been
included in the unofficial lists of ratifying
States, has had no session of its legislature,
and of eou Sc has not ratified. With these
exceptions. the list published from the De-
partment Of State corresponds with that re-
Gently published by US. The Official procla-
nation Of the adoption Of the Amendment
can not long be delayed.
A spatch from New Orleans states that
the Committee Of the Mississippi Legisla-
ture haze reported against the passage Of
the Constitutional Amendment, not from any
objection to the first, but to the second
clause.
