ceeds of the sale of certain assets of the city which
were really available to the credit of the city

The apparent dminution of the debt of the city in
the face of really increased debt, is due simply to
the fact that The city has sold of its most yau-
able property to pay OIL Its dept Athough appa
rently more out of debt than in 1867 it Is evident
that we are really poorer than we were IN that year.

A Point of Morality.

AT every session of our State Legislature we
hear complaints of bribery and corruption.
Bills are said to be carried through both
Houses by means of money, and all that
But blame in this matter should not be cass
altogether on the members of the Legislature,
since if there were no persons willing to buy
them or their votes, there would be none
bought
Our Judgment Of the right or wrong OF
thing depends very much upon the point of
view from which we regard it, An instance
of personal conduct, for example, which,
looked at in the light of anOther's interest
would appear dishonorable, is apt to seem
morally unexceptionable if beheld in the light
OF our own interest. In plain language, what
man finds it, in worldly sense, profitable
to do, he is likely to fancy it entirely proper
to do. There is no more insidious and potent
casuistry as respects the rectitude of any act,
than that with which selfish, sordid purpose
caioles the conscience.
Abstractly considered, most persons with
any correct notions OF propriety would de-
clare it highly criminal to bribe member OF
a State Legislature; yet it is quite notorious
that gentlemen whose ideas of honesty and
decOrum are singularly nice and severe, theo-
retcally, do not hesitate to get bill through

The Massacre at Fort Goodwin.

The massacre Of the garrison Of Fort Good
win, in Arizona, only adds one more instance
OF atrOcious slaughter to the numberless pre-
vious ones perpetrated by the Indians of that
Territory. Of all the Indian tribes inhabiting
the United States, there are none so ferocious
and relentlessly hostile as these Arizona
saVages. They have for years prevented the
Development of the wonderful mineral re-
sources OF that region, and in many instances
have broken up mining operations therein by
the murder of the parties engaged in them
and the destruction of their works. Many
estimable citizens, first and last, have been cut
off by them, and it is entirely unsafe for indi-
Viduals to travel without a military escort
anywhere in the Territory. They have never
before, however, made so bold a stroke as this
one; and it is to be feared, since they have
mustered force enough to overcome so large
N-garrisOn as that at Fort Goodwin, that they

Passage OF the Constitutional Amendment
by the House OF Representatives.
The House of Representatives, yesterday by
the decisive vote OF 12S to 81. passed the Joint
resolution for the amendment of the ConsLitu-
ton, pre- cisely in the form it was originally
reported from the Reconstruction Committee.
There was considerable disposition manifested
to modify the third section-the one excud-
ing from the right to vote for members of
Congress and Presidential electors. until after
the fourth day of July, 1870, all persons who
voluntarily adhered TO the late insurrection,
giving it aid and comfort; but when the final
vote came, the Union members stood in solid
phalanx, and the resolution passed by 10
more than the required two-thirds vote.
kven RAYMOND, OF New York, voted with
the majority.
The resolution now goes to the Senate
Should it receive the requisite vote there. it
then goes directly to the Legislatures of ihe
States for acceptance or reiection-the sigma
ture OF the President not being requisite. We
append the resolution in full as passed.

Zens not less than twenty-One years of age, or in
any way abridged, except for participation in

portion which the number of such male citizens
shall bear to the whole number OF male citizens
not less than twenty-One years of age.
Section 8. Until the Fourth day OF July, 1870
