The Precise Import of the
Constitutional Amend

! Constitutional Amend
ment.cg4 2scH2 ,2T0ca
The real point, in the famous
constitutional amendment now
pending, which professesto repre-
sent the ideas Of the Congress OF
the subject OF. the rehabilitation
,.of the Southern { States, is the
clause which deprives theSouth of
representation for the negro popu
rlation. 1t is true, that by conce
ding universal negro suffrage, the
Southern States may count that
population as the basis of repre-.
sentation. But as the matter is
left to each Southern State to de-
termine for itself, it is evident that
as practical question, the amend
ment simply depriyes the South
of the representation based ON the
negroes, ,inasmuch as there is not the
slightest probability that the South
ern States would grant universal
negro suffrage in order to retain
their political power unimpaired.
Testing the constitutional a.
mendment by the evident effect
of it, it amounts simply to taking
from the South all representation
of the negroes. - s,a.
Such being the amendment, we
would be glad to have pointed out
where the President had ever
committed himself to this policy.
At what time, where, and tc
whom did he express himself in
favor of taking from the South
the representation which the col
ored population gave it? ..-, '''''.'' 1854
While the President has never
given his assent to this cutting off
of the legitimate political power
ofuthe South as the Constitution
now stands, so, further, he has
never committed himself to uni
versal negro suffrage.
In his celebrated conversation
with George L. Stears, the Presi-
dentexpressly said, that ''it would
not do to let the negroes have uni
yersal suffrage now; it would pro-
duce a war of races" ..aI
In the Presidents dispatch to
Gov Sharkey, his Excellcncy de-
fined his views on this subject
He said: "If you could extend the
elective franchise TO all persons of
color who can read the Constitu-
ton of the United States in En-.
lish and write their names, and to
all persons VINO own real estate
valued at not less than $3.50, and |
pay taxes thereon" &c. gaus
From this last extract, what the
President favored was equality |
suffrage. i 5rsr fla ha .~.' 5'.e
But this policy is rendered i'm
possible by the proposed amend
nent to the Constitution, Under
that amendment, a State is not
permitted to have a policy of suf1
frage which does discriminate
On account of color; butait must
have universal suffrage, or lose
the black element as basis of
representation. as-ss Z -.s ssoa
The President, therefore, in re-
using to adopt the. proposed a.
nendment to the Constitution re-
iuiring universal negro suffrage
,r the cutting off all representa-
ion based on this population, is
entirely consistent with all of his
declarations upon the subject, sr
This fact stands out in bold re-
ief, and no amount of ingenious
writing can impair or weakenit in J
my degree. sr so -zeev!a @

The Telegraph.

A good story is related of q
Congressman who in its early day
refused to believe in the telegraph,
and expressed his incredulity even
after the line from Baltimore to
Washington had been many days
in successful operation. A certain
friend of this honorable gentleman
happened 70 have a little joke up
on him. Walking late one fine
moonlight night in the capitol
grounds, the Doctor caught, a
glimpse of his distinguished friend
in company with a lady very
much prettier than his wife
Lest the jealousy of the latter
should be excited, the pair hastily
separated to avoid observation,
and coming oyer to the Doctor, the
Congressman, with a communica-
tiveness entirely uncalled for, as
sured his friend that he had wan
dered up the grounds ''to get some
grass to feed his rabbits" The
Doctor consented to keep his joke
to himself, with no restraint upon
his own enjoyment of it. Now
when this same Congressman one
day entered the Baltimore tele-
graph Office to demand an expert
mental proof, and they told him to
name whom he would call in
Washington, it happened thathe
named the Doctor aforesaid. In q
very few minutes he was surprised
toget word from the Doctor of some
commonplace import. He still
suspected a forged message, and
ordered that that fact be commu-
nicated to the Doctor. The re-
sponse was prompt-"I want a
little grass for NY rabbit" The
operator was confounded. The
lncredulous honorable looked at
The message. With a blush, he
ore it up, exclaiming, "The thing
works, forthatis Doc, or the ID"

had succeeded in getting hold of
