THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT.

In its issue of last trluay, the san rIan-
cisco Call has an article upon the subject
of the Constitutional amendment abolish
ing slavery, and calculating the chances of
its adoption by sufficient number of
: States to make it part of the Constitu-
ton. The clause of the Constitution pro-
viding for amendments requires :" three
fourths Of the several States" The entire
number of States, loyal and rebel, is thirty
six. OF these, eleven are in rebellion,
lesvingtwenty-6veloyal, not three-fourths,
although more than two-thirds. 1t will
be necessary to obtain the Endorsement Of
twenty-seven Legislatures to make the
proposed amendment part of the Consti-
tuition Of the United States. There is no
doubt of the approval of the measure by
all the free States, including Maryland
and Missouri. Louisiana has organized a
loyal Government, and passed an ordi-
nance of freedom. She will indorse the
action of Congress. A few of the eastern
counties of Virginia, having Alexandra
for the Capital, have State Government
with Legislature, and F. H. Pierpont
for Governor. Counting on Louisiana
and Virginia, there are twenty-seven loyal
States. An Endorsement Of the. proposed
amendment by all of these States-being
exactly three-fourths o. all, loyal and
rebel, would make it part of the Consti-
tuition, adopted in accordance with its own
provision for amendment. But viii they
all do as Nevada has dones Delaware
went for Mcclellan; her Legislature is
composed of ten Unionists and twenty
Democrats. She has bu. few slaves, but
the influence of the system is probably
strong enough to prevent the Legislature
from voting for the proposed amendment,
unless the wonderful change of opinion
on the subject, as shown in Missouri,
Maryland. parts of Tennessee, Louisiana
and Arkansas, may have pervaded the
public mind of Delaware also. But of
this we have as vet had no lnforma-
ton. kentucky may indorse the Congress
sional act, for many of the leading men
of that State now openly advocate some
measure for the extinction Of Slavery.
She has been heavy weight to carry
during the civil war, more troublesome
than If she had seeded. But experience
and interest, if not patriotism, may induce
her now to make common cause with the
loyal States, and aid in doing away with
the system which has caused the war.
But there is one State from which we an
ticipate nothing good politically, the only
loyal State which enjoys the luxury of a
Copperhead Governor; New Jersey. She
has Legislature composed of thirty-eight
Unionists and forty-three Democrats. 1t
is possible that the march Of opinions
against the system of Slavery may have
had sufficient influence upon the rurbid
brains of even the Copperheads OF New
Jersey, to induce them to Join the great
company of statesmen and States deter
mined to prevent the recurrence Of civil
war when the present one shall have been
ended. by the utter destruction of the
abomination which caused it. If New
Jersey, Kentucky and Delaware vote
AYE" on the proposition, Slavery can
never hereafter constitutionally exist in
any part of the United States.

.2o.26i 900 1885, sss

Total. TO- 6l 900 1893
1t follows from these figures that if the
other States had contributed pro rata with
California, the Federal customs would
have reached $3l4. ZOO, 900. instead Of, in
round numbers, $1,000. 900. This gold
tax on imports has been paid without any
detriment to the internal revenues, which
have reached $2,S6l, 1855, or 40 per head;
at the same rate, the whole internal reve-
nue. would have been $l55,000, 900, but
it was actually less than that amount.
This is, however, not quite the whole OF
the operation. The resolution of Con-
gress, last year, permitted the sale of the
gold. Some of it was sold at los, and
some at $50. The proceeds Of the gold
were probably $ll, 500. 900; and 81, 000,.
900 gold, in December, not sold, and the
sum is Sl2,600. 900; add internal revenue,
S2,s6l, 2s5, and the aggregate is $l5, 46l,-
2s5; deduct expenses in California as
$1,000, 000-net revenue, $5,76l,2 S5. ,..,-
A community which can pay such tax
as that, is certainly one to be respected.
It is not quite the part of good states
manship to attempt a change in the pro-
cess of taxation which yields such admit
rable results. II is to be borne in mind
that this large payment has been made in
q year when the influence Of twenty
months drought was threatening the ruin
of every individual interest, when the &C.
tual loss of gold, wheat and other crops,
was to be reckoned in the aggregate by
millions. In spite of these disasters,
the tax paid BY the people to the service
of the Federal Government not including
State and local imposts, will be found
equal to the largest pro rata payment of
any people. The statesman and the econ
omist might find in these facts a clear
proof that no matter how indirectly the
money reaches the Treasury, the mines
are taxed very efficiently. While Cali
fornia may point with just pride to these
payments, she can not initiate the official
reports of some sister States, where the
profits Of Federal patronage are exhibited
far in excess Of contributions to its
support.
The ARG uses the word " California
all through its article; but, in relation to
the subject under consideration, Nevada
constitutes portion Of the same commu-
nifty, and the article includes this State in
its summing up, as well as California.
