PoLITIoAL.

The constitutional amendment as passed by
the Senate Friday, shows several changes.
mostly verbal however, from the form in which
II was reported. In the first section, it now pro-
yides that "all persons born or Rat1ralizeo' in
this country shall be citizens of the State. In
the second, instead of 'the elective franchise"
we find more definitely "the right to vote" for
certain officers. The fourth and fifth sections
of the original article are now blended IN a sim
gle section, which instead of declaring that the
obligations of the United States "shall remain
inviolate" says directly that the validity of the
public debt "shall not be questioned" The
amendment is more compact and torcible for
its hammering in the Senate, and goes to the
House in very satisfactory form.

JUDGE UNDERwooD's CHARGE.-The
charge of Judge Underwood to the grand jury
at Richmond was rather pointed, although the
press OF that city have not mended the matter
by their comments. We take the following
extract from it:
81 am happy to meet you again and to
know that you still live, notwithstanding
the assaults that have been made upon you.-
Little need be said in addition to the instruc-
tions given at Norfolk. Your last session has
made you historical, and ] trust the efforts
which have been made TO intimidate you and
to impede the course of justice will not make
you less faithful and earnest in the discharge
of your public duties. We ought not to be
surprised that the reasonable and lccntious
press of this State and city should whine and
rage and become furious when treason and
licentiousness are exposed and arraigned for
trial and punishment. Nor should we be sur
prised at the enormity and desperation exhib-
tied when we remember that this city has
long been the centre and seat of the greatest
traffic in human beings that has ever disgraced
the world. A traffic which has annually en-
plOyed many hundreds of moral monsters and
many millions of capital, subsidizing the press,
pulpit, and politics of the State, rendering
Richmond more infamous among men for its
participation in this great crime than all the
cities of Senegambia, Upper and Lower
Guinea, Congo, Loango, Angola and Bengue-
la combined. The wonder rather is, that SO
many traces of kindness, humanity and Chris
tian civilization should have survived such de-
basing and brutalizng influences. And let us
thank God and take courage that, more for
tunate than the devoted cities of antiquity we
can count more than ten men who have stood
faithful among the faithess. The complaints
of threatened violence and intimidation
which have been forwarded to me by several Of
your number for your late heroic and patriot
ic actions have been submitted to the. highest
legal and military authorities of the Govern
ment and can assure YOU of the earnest
sympathy and firm support Of all the officers
OF the law, not excepting the President, whom
the reasonable now flatter and fawn upon
but whom they will soon curse as heartily az
| they did two years ago."

1t will be recollected that the amendments
proposed to the Constitution by the Commit
mittee on Reconstruction passed the House
some days since, and were sent to the Senate
for its action. But consultations took place
afterward between the majority in Congress,
the result was to make some changes in the
report of the committee. Accordingly Mr..
Howard, of Michigan, moved certain amend
ments in the Senate, which were adopted. 1t
is proposed, first, that ali citizens of the Uni
ted States, without regard TO color, shall be
alike protected in life, liberty and property !;
secondly, that representation shall be based
on population, but that it the right of suffrage
shall be denied to colored men they shall not
be counted; thirdly, that certain persons shall
be excluded from the right to hold office, un-
less such disability shall be removed by a two
thirds vote of Congress; fourthly, that the
public debt and bounties and pensions shall
be secured and inviolate; filthy, that Con-
gress shall have power to enforce these pro-
posed amendments.
The third section provides that no person
shall hold any office under the United States,
or under any State, who having served in the
Federal Congress, or as an executive or ju-
dicial officer OF any State Legislature, or as an
officer of the United States, and taken an oath
as such to support the Constitution of the
Unieed States, afterward engaged in the re-
belion, giving aid and comfort to the enemies
of the United States. Two-thirds of Congress
may remove this disability. The question
therefore is, whether certain persons shall be
excluded from Office and the Union shall be
restored; or whether, on account of these
persons, and because we may not want to ex-
clude them from Office, we are to remain in
definitely out of the Union. The people can
not hesitate one moment as to their choice in
this matter The chaff is to be separated from
the wheat; and if any of the wheat should be
about to be blown off with the chaff Congress
will interpose as chief windower, and save
every sound grain.
1t is onr deliberate opinion that the above
terms are the uery best the Southern States can
obtain If these terms should be rejected,
heavier and more stringent terms will he re-
quired. Delay in this matter will be danger
GUS.
It is provided by the Constitution that
amendments thereto may be ratified by the
legislatures or by conventions OF the States, @as
the one or the other mode OF ratification may
be proposed by the Congress-" If conven-
tions, as well as legislatures, should be allow
ed to ratify, our convention now in session,
might at once ratify the foregoing amend
ments, and thus take the lead in the great
work of restoration. r

WASHINGTON. June II.
This forenoon Judge Underwood, in the u
S. Attorney Generals office, heard arguments
of O'Conor and Shea, counsel for JEFF Davis,
why the prisoner should be admitted to bail.
Attorney General Speed replied on the part of
the Government. Judge Underwood refused
to admit Davis to bail, ON the ground that he
had no authority to do so, the accu sed being
a prisoner of war.
Judge Underwood's decision declining to is
sue writ of habeas corpus for JEFF. Davis,
was reduced to writing and furnished Jeff's
counsel, who took il to President Johnson
All further action is therefore suspended un-
til further order of Government. The pas
sage of resolution by the House. declaring
that JEFF. should be kept in confinement, was
induced by the apprehension that he would
be bailed.

FIRE AND INsURANCE.-One of the largest
fires that has occurred in Charlestown, Mass,
for many years, took place Saturday, about
midnight, destroying very large amount of
property, and driving from their homes, at the
dead of night over fifty families. The entire
square of buildings included by Main street
upon the front, Thorndike street upon the
south, Forbush court upon the north, and the
bay (the old mill pond) in the rear, was burn
ed to the ground. Among the sufferers by the
fire, we note T. Cunningham & Co., manu-
facturers of piano stools, insured for $1,000,
Hatch & Hardy, soap manufacturers, insured
for $17O0, Barney Hall, baker, insured for $4OO,
