A CARD.
Messrs. Jos. L. Hall 81 Co., manufacturers of Halls
Burglar and Fireproof Safes
Dear Sir-Our large Halls FireprOof Safe was
taken from the ruins of Pixies Opera house this
afternoon, after being Subjected to the most in
tense heat for four days and four nights, about
ninety hours, and our books and valuable papers,
and United States Bonds deposited with u.s. were
preserved in good condition. The fire was still
burning with such intensity that when taken out
it could not be opened till cooled by a stream of
water. We think We can say nothing more in favor
of your invaluable safe than state the fact that
this test, surely severe an one as safes can be
subjected to- has resulted in such entire satisfaction
both to yOu and ourselves. Yours truly

which the safes of their make preserved their con-

The journal and the COnstitu-
tiOnal Amendment.

The journal and the COnstitu-
tiOnal Amendment.
The Journal pcrsistently misrcpresents
the object and end of the Constitutional
Amendment That amendment by its
first section, makes citizens out of negroes
not simply of the United States, but of the
State in which they live--and says that no
State shall pass any law abridging the priv
ilegcs and immunities Of citizens thereof.
Now, whether the elective franchise is n
privilege and immunity of q citizen,r is a
question upon which there has been much
discussion. OF one thing, however, we may
be certain. Whatever may be the true
construction of this amendment it was in
tended as a dodge; and when radicals and
negro equality men grasp power with II
sure hand they will so construe it rs to vest
the right ofsulfragc in the colored man.
But the second section changes the basis
of representation. The point Of argument
is not now so much whether the basis pro-
posed is correct, as the position of the Rad
ical party that until It is adopted the
Southern States shall have no representa-
tion at all in Congress. This is a gross
outrage. The Southern States are in the
Union. They were never out of it.. The
war being over they are entitled to repre-
scntation under the Constitution, because
we brought them back under It.; and the
attempt of Congress to exclude them until
they shall adopt negro suffrage or submit to
the loss of onc-third of their representa-
tion is an outrageous violation OF every
republican right.
Now, this is precisely the issue presented
to the Southern States Adopt negro suffrage
or y0H cannot get into the Uiston-unless you
submit to the reduction Of your potver at least
one-third When all the States are In the
Union then it win be time enough to advo-
cate the very improper proposition-con-
trary to ScHENcK's own ideain Congress, as
we shall show-which the Radicals have
pretended to submit to the people, for the
purpose of amusing them pending this cleo
tion.
We have no idea we shall ever hear of the
Constitutional Amendment after the cleo
tiOns are over
