The Negro Amendment.
The Ballots Used must be separate
Ballots. =

1t has been discovered that the ballots
to be used III voting urcl the constitu-
tional amendment (giving ne :, eoes the right
to vote), must be separate ballots. The
law passed in 1860, Sin relation to pro-
posed amendments to the Constitution" is
as follows:
SEC. 2. The voting upon such amendment
shall be by ballot, distinct and separate from
the ballot for any officer voted for at the same
election.
A strict compliance on the part of the
voter with the law is of the utmost i'm
portance. The judges of election have no
discretion in the matter, but must be gov
erned entirely by the statute. Let every
white man in the State provide himself
then with white mans ticket, on which
is printed or written these words =
AGAINST SECTION ONE, ARTICLE
SEVEN" Do not let vote be lost on
account of informality '7sa
With anything like fair canvass, we
have no fears of the result. To pass the
amendment it will require a majority of
all the votes cast at the election. It is
not enough that there are more votes for
the amendment than are cast against it.
Section 1 of article IA of the Constitution,
says: ,.... III .,.> ,
SIC. 1. y And if it shall appear, in a
manner to be provided by law, THAT A Ma
JORITY OF VOTERS PRESENT AND vOT-
ING, shall have ratified such alteration or
amendments, the same shall be valid to all in
tents and purposes, &c. a
This provision makes it q necessity on
the part of the friends of the amendment
to get majority of all the electors of the
State in its favor; otherwise it is lost.
The highest number of votes for the
amendment will not make it valid as
part of the Constitution; it must receive
more than half the aggregate of votes cast
for Mr.. Rice and Gen. MARSHALL, or it is
lost. This gives the opponents of the meas
ure great advantage. All votes thrown
out for informalities, will count as against
the amendment.
We cannot two strongly urge our friends
in all parts Of the State to be vigilant and
active in disseminating information con-
corning the nsodus operandi by which the
pet scheme of the radicals can be defeated.

DILLON OBR1RN, Esq, the efficient
Agent OF the Irish Immigration Society,
who has been employed IN New York,
during the past season, in the work of d.
recting immigration to this State, has re-
turned home to lay before the Society the
result Of his labors, and to devise an i'm
proved system for the next season. The
number of people preparing to come to
Minnesota next year, makes it necessary
that a comprehensive system should be
inaugurated. The experience of Mr..
OBR1EN will be of great value, not only to
the Society with which he has been con-
nected, but to the State at large, and we
trust that efforts will be made to retain
him in the service which he has so auspi-
ciously commenced.

A local superintendent of freedmen at Cam
den, Arkansas, recently issued q circular de-
fning the duties of planters In reference to
their late b0ndmen, and has received reulv
thereto from one of the former at the hai,ds
of contraband, as follows: -
The bearer of this circular I consider nv

authorizing any one to demand him of me.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON has done nothing of
late that we like better than his notification to
certain Reverend gentlemen of the Methodist
persuasion, who went down to New Orleans
shortly after Buffers occupation, and cody
took possession of such edifices as there suited
them that they must now give those ediaees
up to those who have better title to them.
The Northern gentlemen seem to have been
considerably astonished at this notice to quit,
but we guess they have no alternative but to
obey.

SOUTH CAROLINA is careful to manifest her
belief in the efficacy of secession. Her con-
stitution has repealed the ordinance of seces.
sion, thereby intimating that the members re.
garded it as valid ordinance. -Radical poper.
1t is really the hardest thing in the
world to please the radicals. If South
Carolina had not repealed the secession
ordinance, q perfect avalanche of anathe-
mas would have been poured out upon her.

Gen. l.. r. Hubbard.

We clip the following handsome oompli-
ment to a favorite Minnesota General from
the Mobile Register, edited by Hon. JOHN
FORSYTH. Gen. HUBBARD may well be
proud Of the esteem in which be is held by
the Southern peoples: -.
PERsoNAL.-Brevet Brig. Gen. L. F. Hub
bard, who has recently been stationed at Dem
opolis, where he has won golden opinions
from everybody by his urbanity, uprightness
and gentlemanly demeanor, arrived in our city
this morning, and is stopping at the Battle
House.
Gen. Hubbard is here en- route to his home in
Minnesota, the troops he formerly commanded
(the Fifth Minnesota Infantry having been dis
charged from the service, and he himself hav.
ing been relieved from command at Demopo-
lis, very much to the regret of the citizens. We
trust his successor at that post may earn an
equally well-deserved reputation among the
people Of Marengo county.

A GRlEyoUs WRONG That portion Of the
Indian country which oins the Kansas line was
once rich in stock. The fertility of the pastures
was unsurpassed, and many Of the Inhabitants
were owners of immense herds. Upon the out
break # the war, those who remained loyal to the
Union we're driven from their possessions and the
rebel commissary department received large sup.
plies oi beeffro this source. A correspondent Of
the Commercial 7icerlis,r states that this was not
the worst of it. White loyal people Of all classes
military and civil, have made tia common raid
ing ground, and it is estimated that not less than
100000 head OF cattle have in this way been run
out of the country, Cattle with the Indian brand
are to BE- found in all the frontier towns Of Kan
sas aud the lndiin agents have been empowered
to scout the country, aided by the military, to re-
claim the stock. Much Of the stolen property is
gathered in corals with the intention OF restoring
il to The rgnitul owners. la some instances the
local courts have issued wrts Of rspevin TO take
the cattle GU, of military custody, the settlers
evidently being Of opinion that red mon have no
rights which they are hound to respect. Such
conduct as this acting on the savage nature ec-
counts for too many OF those terrible outbreaks
by which he vAinly seeks justice, and obtains only
revenge,
