Amending the Constitution

The joint resolution to amend the con
stitution of the United States va,
passed in the Senate by the requisite
two-tbirds last Friday. The third sec,
tion of the amendment as it passed the
House was stricken out in the Senate,
and various other changes were made,
so that the resolution will have TO go
back to the House in its present form,
and receive the sanction of two.thirGs
Of that body before it is submitted to
the Legislatures Of the various States
for ratification. The section that was
stricken out, was the one DISTINGUISHING
until the 4th of July. 1870, all persons
who had aided the rebellion 1t was
the most obnoxious and Objectionable
feature of the proposed amendment, and
was, therefore, the one most valued and
persistently elung to by THAD STEVENS,
and his fellow radicals. It Is doubtful
whether STEVENS vii! support the
amendment in its present shape, his
favorite project, and the one uyon
which the radicals relied for success in
the next presidential election having
been destroyed.
The action of the radicals in Congress
resembles very closely the conduct of
the Solons who composed the West Vir
ginis Legislature during the past two
years. They first pass a law and then
amend the constitution SO as to make
their former act constitutional They
made a great ''huIrah" abont the Civil
Rights bill. and succeeded in passing il
over the Presidents veto; they now pro
pose to change the Constitution of the
United States SO as to make the Civil
Rights bill constitutional.

amendment offers bride to the States =

Virginia, we exclude negroes from the
ballot box, We will probably lose one
member of the House of Representatives,,
while if South Carolina should enfran
chise her negroes, she would be entitled
to almost double the number of repre-
sentatives she now has. The sole object
of the section is to procure negro sui.
frage, and there can be no doubt that if
il be adopted the entire six New Eng
land States would at once enfranchise
the blacks, SO as to increase their power
in the National Congress to its utmost
limit. s. rsI sr

pecuniary success in this State for a man

"Old JIMMY WHARTON" Of the Par
keraburg Nmes, has o short way Of dis
posing of facts that are not altogether
palatable to him., Without investiga
ton and without knowledge, he calls
various statements of actual fact un
mitigated5 lies.r and thereby proves
himself to be what all his acquaintance
pronounce him, an unmitigated fool &
For instance; he denies that in any
county or at any voting precinct In tine
State violence and force were employed
to prevent men from voting for the re-
lection of the amendment. He denies
that any rebels were permitted TO regis
ter their names without taking the test
oath, upon condition that they would
vote for the ratification of the amend
ment He also denies that Mr.. TAFT OF
Upshur county has been indicted by the
grand Jury of that county Tor
printing and posting hand-bills calling
a conservative meeting, The records of
the county court in Marshall and in Up
shur, contradict WHARToN's denial of
the truth of the first and third of those
instances, and plenty of afidavits can
be produced to prove him falsifer in
his denial of thesecond. "JoNATHAN's''
reputation for veracity never was very
good, and seems to be growing worse as
he grows older. We would not have
noticed the old reprobate, but for the
coarseness and ungentlemanly character
of his unprovoked assault upon some OF

habit of denouncing as lies, statements
which he knows, or, if he has brain!
enough to keep ont aof the fire, ough
