SENATOR YATES on UNIVERSAL
sCFFRAGE.

1t is probable that the second clause OF the
Anti-Slavery Amendment will be good deal
discussed and availed Of in the legislation that
is to precede Reconstruction. The power TO
enforce the prohibition Of Slavery by "appro'
pirate legislation" might be derived from the
first clause Of the amendment under previous
provision Of the Constitution, but it was none
tho less prudent precaution to affirm it in eX.
press terms. Several measures based on this
second clause are now before Congress, among
them the following, introduced last January in
the Senate by the Hon. Richard Yates OF
Illinois:
BE enacted blythe Senate and House Of Rtprt,hta,ire,
Of The United States Of america IN Congress Gneubed,
That no State or Territory Of the United States shall
by any constitution law other regulation whatever
heretofore in force hereafter TO be adopted make
enforce or In any manner recognize any distinction
between citizens OF the United States Of any State
or Territory account Of color or condition.
and that hereafter all citizens, without distinction OF
race color or condition shall be protected in the full
and equal enjoyment and exercise Of all their civil and
political rights, including the right OF suffrage"
II is about two years since Illinois under the
guidance we believe, of Gov Yates, abolished
her Black Code, which was scarcely better than
Slave Code, and here now is her Governor,
become Senator, and presenting bill to protect
all citizens without distinction of color in the
enjoyment of all rights, including the right Of
suffrage. This progress is somewhat character
istic Of the West, which is apt to make up its
mind with considerable degree Of decision.
What it wants. it wants with will Mr. Yates
may or may not be ahead of his State in this
matter, but he assumes the risk fearlessy:
Gentlemen ask me II will 20 before the people Of
Illinois with such proposition ths.' Ay. indeed.
and welcome IT, have no fear Of the result Through
the clouds OF the present See the brghtness OF the
American people everywhere the firm conviction that
this negro question: however unpalaablo ito discussion
may be- viii never be settled until 1t is adjusted upon
the principles Of justice and equality"
If Congress does possess the power to regulate
by such bill as this the qualifications of
electors, there is no little force in the suggestion
that its exercise is the only sure way to settle
questions of reconstruction. Whether any
particular amendment TO the Constitution will
be adopted is doubtful, and whether 1t can or
cannot be, it involves delay, whereas legisla-
ton is complete, speedy, and, Mr.. Yates be.
lieyes, will be effective. The war, in his view,
was to determine whether the Constitution
and laws of the United States were to DO the
supreme law of the land, or whether State
Sovereignty was to be the supreme law" The
Union conquered, yet it is now proposed to
leave to the local politicians of the several
States the adjustment Of the relations Of the

Mr. T. +. Stewart, one Of the members from
our City, has submitted to the Legislature Dill
which proposes that any person not q resident
of our State, who shall sell anything in THIS
City on account of q nonresident, must take
out q license therefor: price $500; or come to
grief: $500 fine being imposed for each Oh
Tense.
We don't quite agree to this. The idea seems
TO be that to live out of our State is luxury
which man may well afford opay for. We
trust matters are not quite so bad with us as
that would imply, though they are bad enough,
we admit. Yet 1t is so much more natural ana
for those who trade here to 1--we
here than elsewhere that we judge the main
things necessary to secure this in most cases
may be concisely stated thus-Stop the Guys
sinking and her rulers stealing. The Leglsia-
ture has given lift toward the former in pass
ING the Health bill; now, if it will do us the
like good turn toward the latter By creating
the Board of Control, we shall hope to have
folks enough live here without taxing and hning
them for choosing to live elsewhere.

Grant and Gen. Sherman are Of opinion that his

him from trial on account Of treason, or any

on account of unmilitary crimes. If, for in

parole exempt him from accountability!

Mr.. Sumner addressed the Senate yesterday
in an elaborate speech against the Constitu-
tional Amendment which provides that no part
of a States population which that State dis.
franchises shall be counted as basis of Federal
power. This he asserted to be license or
authority to disfranchise; which is just as true
and reasonable as if he had argued that legal
penalty Of thirty lashes or three months
imprisonment for petty larceny is license to
steal. Nine-tenths of the speech are devoted
to proving that no man should be DISTINGUISHED
because Of his color, and so are excellent but
Mr.. Sumner perhaps never before succeeded so
completely in delighting the soul of every Rebel
and Copperhead in the land as he did in opposing
and doing his utmost to defeat the Conkling
Amendment.

The Hon. C.. J. Folger, from the Select Com

to the Senate series of resolutions embodying
the collective judgment ofthat Committee on the
great questions now engrossing the attention Of
the American People. 1t may be possible to
express more clearly, forcibly, happily, the views
of that portion of the people of this State who
sustained the Government throughout its des-
perate struggle with slaveholding treason; yet
we see not in what particular. Mr. Folger's
resolves are temperate in language, guarded in
statement, sound in principle, and just in their
conceptions of National faith and public duty;
and we hope they, or others Of like tenor, will
be adopted by large majority of the members

freedmen; and by so doing to impern all we
have gained politically by the war, and to
abandon the freedmen themselves to the
control of their old masters, or of the
white class which they aided to subdue.
But by the anti-Slavery Amendment, the
former slave has become freeman; his disa-
bility is removed; he steps from his condition Of
slavery into the family Of freedom, becomes one
OF the body polite, and is one of the sovereign
people. He does not need that the rights of
citizenship should be conferred on him; they
are his; and all that is necessary is that he
should be protected in their enjoyment. The
distinction between civil and political rights is
an illusory one; at any rate the ballot is neces-
sary to the secure enjoyment Of all other rights,
and as it is admitted that Congress has the
power to pass laws to protect the freedman IN
his person and property, it must have the power
to protect him in the exercise of the elective
franchise.
Nor is Senator Yates disturbed by the cry that
his demand is mpracticable-tha such meas
ure cannot be carried.
As for me- would rather face the music and meet the
responsibility like man. and send to the people OF the
State of Illinois the boon OF universal suffrage ana OF
full and complete emancipation than meet the aunt OF

and of the inaenable fidelity of the people to
