NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

The Joint Committee on Reconstruction,
consisting of six Senators and nine Repre-.
sentatiyes, have agreed on the following
proposal of Constitutional Amendment,
which was on Monday reported to the Sen.
ate by Mr.. Fessenden, of Maine:-
ARTICLE -. Representatives and Direct
Taxes shall be apportioned among the sew.
eral States which may be included within
this Union according to their respective
numbers counting the whole number OF
persons in each State, excluding Indians
not taxed; Provided, That tchenetsr The elec
t've franchise shall be denied or abridged in
any STATE, on account Of race or color, all
persons Of such race or color shall be excluded
from the basis Of Teprsssntation.
This appears to US to be the most lust and
equitable proposition yet made tending to
the restoration of the South to political
equality with the other States of the Union.
II it should become law, it will 90 far
towards complete harmony, and will remove
the question of negro suffrage from Congress
to the States where it justly belongs. We
can see no reasonable objection to the pas.
