The Constitutional Amendment.

Senator Sharkey, of Mississippi, Las
taken the bull by the horns. Anticipating
the legislative session of his State, he has
written letter to Governor Humphreys
concerning the constitutional amendment,
urging its rejection if presented for ratifi-
cation. lie gives the folio Wing solid rea-
sons for spurniog it:
In the first place, it is not believed that
the amendment was recommended by two
thirds Of Congress, as a body so composed
Is not the Congress of the United States, {.
considerable number of States being ex-
cludcd from representation. Any body Of
usurpers may as well claim to be the Con-
grcss of the United States, and New York
and Pennsylvania, for instance, may so
manage to exclude first one small State
and another, until they control tho legis-
iatlve power of the nation, with equally as
much propricty as the majority now e1-
ciudes States from representation. We
cannot be told that because we adopted
the antl-slavcry amendment We recognized
the present Congress as constitutional, for
we had not then elected or sent members
to the Congress which recommended it,
as we have done in the case of the pending
one.
No resolution can be communicated to
the States except through the President;
and as the posed amendment was not
submitted, it is a nullity.
Another objection to the amendment is,
that while it prohibits the States from
abridSing the privileges or immunities of
c:tlzens 1T does not specify what those
privileges arc. that being left to Congress,
which Is empowered to enforce the article
by Appropriate legislation. Congress may
confer privileges on one class to the cxclu-
sion Of another; or it may assume abso-
lutte control over the people and their do
mcstlc concerns, and thus virtually abolish
the State.
The second section, iii regard to negro
suffrage, would probably exclude at least
one State from rcpresen tation, as the num-
Der of male negroes over twenty-ono is
equal to the number of white males.
The third, or DISTINGUISHING clause, is
sweeping III its effect, for there are few who
have not liz some way or another taken an
oath to support the Constitution. Such q
provision would be so contrary to the
theory of our Government, and so oppres-
sive towards Il very large class Of the
population OF the Southern States, that it
cannot be supposed that those who pro-
posed 1t could have entertained hope that
1t would be accepted; They ought to have
known. too, that such q provision was cal
cutated to cndangcr the existence of the
Government, as revolutions may always be
expected, sooner or later, from acts which
dlstraEchiSed the cnfrancliscd acts.
The fifth section is the Trojan Horse,
aboundms in mischief. II provides that
Congress shall have power to enforce, by
appropriate Legislation, the provisions Of
this article" which may be construed to
authorize Congress to do whatever it NAV
desire to do. Should the amendment be-
come part of the Constitution, We shall
have a far different Government from that
Inherited from our fathers.

Our Financial Condition.

We coiate below the very conflicting
views of the New York HeroM and New
York Iii6Use on our financial condition.
The Herahi, after dcscanting uron the ey-
element in the stock market during the
past week, complacently says:
Money is still easy and abundant at four
to five per cent, although the increased
activity Of business in Wall street has
capital Ut the disposal of the banks and
private lenders. In discounts. however
there Is very little doing, owing to the
extremely light supply of commercial
paper offering. At the same time we have
a larger volume of currency outstanding
than at any former time, the aggregate of
legal tender and national bank notes being
100000 greater than at the beginning
of June last year, and the money markets
all over the country We're never, at this
season. in such an easy condition. The
general prosperity, too. is almost unex-
amplcd, and the earnings of the railways,
with a few exceptions, are larger in proper
ton to their expenditures than they have
been at amy antecedent period. Our cur-
rency is independent OF all foreign Gle
ments of disturbance, and = feeling of
monetary security everywhere prevails.
An Act Of Congress limits the contraction of
United States notes to $40, 900, 600 during the
afterwards, without compelling even that
triflinS reduction, and there are still to be
issued about $1,000, 600 of national bank
notes to complete the authorized total of
$500, 100000.
But the Ti'ibune takes more sombre
view Of the financial situation.

Our Candidate for Congress.

The Democrat Is still trying to hammer
away at Mr.. Morrell, whom it calls all
kinds of names, such as Yankee, oppres-
sor of the poor, &c. Mr. MorreH has
been a resident Of Pennsylvania since he
was fourteen years Of age, has built up
business which has made Johnstown and
the surrounding country a large and thri-
wing town, enhancing property to the
amount of millions, is known among
workmen and laborers as the best and
most liberal iron master in the State, and
in acts of genuine kindness and benevo-
lence has probably given away more than
any ten men in Cambria county. There
are men at Freedom Iron Works, some
democrats we think at that who have
worked for him-ask them what charac-
ter he bears among working men.

The Democrat and Mr. MOrrelI

The Democrat is greatly exercised in
its last weeks issue because, as il says,
Morrell does not tolerate free speech or
freedom at the ballot-boX, among the
hands in his employ, at the risk Of being
turned off. This sounds strangely for a
Republican 10 do. but for 4 Democrat it
would be regarded as Il perfect right! How
many of the numerous lock-tender>, car
penters, stone-masons, mud bosses and
mud sills' on the Penna. canal in Milf
film county would dare 10 say word
against the Democratic party, or do other
wise than vote the ticket? and we might
ask the same thing of several gangs on
the railroad. Canst answer, oh, Demo-
crat ?
A charge of this kind comes with Il bad
grace from a party whose open profession
of eXpediency in every day life are IN
strict accordance with what they charge
against Mr.. Morrcll as I. grave offence.
We speak from authority when We say
that the charge of tyranny against Mr..
Morrell IS untrue, for we have it from his
own lips that he expects some of the Dem
crats employed in their works to vote
against him, and that no system of c0er-
cion will be practised with his hands, by
his authority, al the coming election.

To the Editor Of the Press:
SIR: Every Copperhead orator, every
Copperohnson newspaper in the State,
persists in asserting that Congress has vo-
| ted 4 larger bounty to the black soldier
/ than the law gives to the white soldier
Now, let Us look at the facts of the case
Previous 10 the passage of the acts of
June 10th, 1861 isectiom >, and July 4th.
| 1864 section i, but few if any. of the col
orcd troops We're entitled to any bounty.
These acts merely placed the coIored SOL
dier upon tke same footing las other SOL
diers of the regular or volunteer forces of
the United States of like arm of the ser
vice" [ quote the exact words of the
law
The only discrimination that exists is
IN fdrOr Of the 1rl,ite s0LClier, who. by the
act of July 2S. 1866, is entitled to an EX-
IRA BOUNTY Ofone hundred doAars, which
the cotOre6 soldier does not act. These
CopperlohnsOn orators and newspapers
know, or ought to know, that these are
the facts OF the case. 1t is true that the
cOlOred man who served two wears can
get, and many Of them have been paid.
SlOO bounty; so has the white man: but
the white man, by the act Of July 2S, 1866.
is entitled to ANOTHER 800, lCKich the
cOlOrCd $Ofdiet' cannot gct as there were
no colOred troops in the service at the
time for which this 500 e5f,u bounty is
to be paid. This bill was signed bv Pres
ident Johnson, and it is rather strange 10
see the friends of the President trying to
bring discredit upon Congress for passing
a bill which he himself approved, and
which would not have become a law
without his signature.
Why is this ertra bounty of 500 to the
,oi,itc troops not paid? The bill allowing
it has passed both Houses of Congress,
and been approved by the President
There is money enough in the treasury to
pay it; and if it is not paid, it is the fault
alone of the President and his oftice-hold-
ers. They are Withholding the payment
of this extra bounty for no other purpose
than 10 influence the elections. Let the
white soldiers hold them responsible for
1t. a WHITE SOLDIER.
