from being counted in making up the
basis OF rep resentation in any State
in which negroes are denied the right
OF suffrage. 1t assumed that the male
negroes over twenty-one years of age
bear the Same proportion to the whole
negro population that white males

the whole white population, and de-

proportion from the whole number

whole negro population of tho rebel
States from the aggregate number for

and will deprive them of thirty votes
in Congress, and in the Electoral Col
lcge. 1t also deducts the twelve thou
sand in Indiana, from the aggregate
population for which she is entitled to
representation, and so in every State.
This effect leaves the question of negro
suffrage with each State, to be deter
mined by and, within itself. If South
Carolina wants representation for her
negroes, she has but to confer the
right of suffrage upon her male ne
grocs over twenty-one years of age,
and she will have 1t. And the matter
is referred entirely TO her own deter
mination, and so with every other
State.
The principle enunciatcd by the
amendment is this, that wherever
there is n race of people who are
deemed unworthy or unfit to receive
and enjoy political rights, they shall
not be made The basis for confcring
political rights and powers upon 9TH
ers. 'Ii
Against this amendment the Dem
ocratic party has placed tselfin direct
opposition Democratic members Of
Congress voted against it, and Demo.
cratic politicians are misrepresenting
1T all over tho land. They demand
that no constitutional amendment
shall be passed until tho eleven rebel
States are fully represented in Con
grtss when they know full we'll no
amendment can be passed abridging
the power Of. the South, imposing con.
ditions upon the rebels, or exacting Sc
curity for the future. They demand
that Southern rebels shall retain the
enormous advantage they now have
whereby each one of them has sixty
per cent. more of power in the Gov
ernment than has citizen of Indiana,
or any other Northern State, and they
demand it because these rebels belong
to their party, will vote their ticket
and assist them in getting into pow.

in Ohio as well as the Sonlh. Every
such person is to be excluded from
the office of Senator or Representative
in Congress, or any Federal office,
civil or military.
1T you allow these men to interpret
their own work, there is not a Demo-
crat in Ohio that ever sat in the Leg

him to take an oath TO support the
Constitution, that will be allowed tc
hold Federal Office. They will say
they don't mean that but only refer to
those fellows down South; but they
have said so many things that they
afterwards said they didn't mean to

situation. They have supposed all
the while that the pains and penalties
of treason would be visited upon the
Southern rebels, while their equally
guilty Northern allics-such men as
ValIandigbam-would escape altogeth-

amendment real cause of alarm
If adopted by sufficient number of
States the prospects of the Rebels and
Democrats to control the country will
be very slim indeed. Vallandigham,
and many of the leaders of this Nor

they gave aid and comfort TO the rebel

The Chief Justice Of the Suprcm @
Court Of North Carolina, in an article
opposing the new State Constitution,
which is published in the Ra'eigh
Progress, says: III
81 consider thatthis Is no constitu
ton, because your convention was not
q legitimate convention, and had no
power to make constitution for us, or
to alter that which we had and hare
L object to the organization Of your
convention, because il was called with.
out tho consent of the people, by the
President of the United States, or un-
der his orders an act Of clear and des-
potic uSurp0tiOnr
There is gratitude for youl A more
malicious thrust at the Presidents pol
icy of restoration has not been made,
in Congress or out of it. 1t indicates
a purpose, as soon as circumstances
make it eXpedient-that is, as soon as
the States lately in rebellion have been
restored--to repudiate the work of the
conventions, which has never been
submitted to vote OF the people, and
revive the constitutions as they exist
ed before and during the war. In 9TH
er words, the Conventions having
been called without the consent of the
people, at the bidding Of the Presi.
dent, their acts, including the abolition
of slavery and the reputation of the
rebel war debt and the heresy of se-
ccssion, are to be annulled, being acts
of ''clear and despotic usurpation. =
Thus, at one swOop, will 90 down the
card castle of restoration as construct
red by Andrew Johnson-al right as
far as it went, but insecure in it's foun-
dations. What is needed to put an
end to the fine scheme which the Chief
Justice of North Carolina unfolds is
the ratification of the Constitutional
Amendment, which would compel the
States, even if the acts of the Consti-
tutional Conventions were set aside, to
conform their organic laws so as to
recognize the issues decided by the
war. The President, in our opinion,
made the greatest mistake Of his ad-
ministration in announcinghimself cp
posed TO the amendment; and unless
the plans of. these rebels-rebeIs at
heart, whatever their lip service-are
defeated by some such measure as it
is proposed to incorporate into the
Constitution, he will live to regret
his inconsiderate action.-Cncinnati

self again yielded to the cravings of
the insatiate and hcll-born appetite
produced by the use Of rum. We do
not agree with those of our cotempo-
rarles who have been SO ready to de-
nounce Mr.. T. as "hypocrite"-in-
stead of censuring, we pity him; and
point to his case as only another in
stance in proof of the potent power of
the destroyer over the minds of mer
who have suffered themselves to be-
come addicted to the use of intoxica-
ting liquors. If man of such genus,
such mental power, becomes a victim
to its subtle influences TO such an ex-
tent as to thus publicly disgrace him
self and family, how readily should we
excuse weaker minded victims.
The men who have no pity and on
Iy censurc for poor Thompson do not
appreciate the power that the appetite
forspirituous liquors has over its slaves;
and the men who chuckle over such q
fall would have laughed over the fall
of the angels had they lived at the
time of its occurrence.
We hope our friend Thompson will
make another effort to save himself.
and another, and still another, until
he has succeeded in freeing himself
from the baneful influence of this des-
troyer of human hopes and happiness.

As there seems 10 be some mlsapprehension
among National Banks concerning the proper
method of making their returns, the following
letter from the Treasurer of the United States
may be of great INTEREST,"
TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES, DIVISION OF
NATIONAL BANKS, WASHINGTON, July Z. 1885,
Sr:-I have received yours Of the 81 instant.
You say there is difference of opinion in regard
TO one feature OF our statements among National
Banks in this section, which does not seem to
be met by any OF your published decisions. IL
is connected with the deposit item. We make
the amount by adding the amount due ordinary
deposits to that received from collections on
account of other banks, and deduct the amount
of oVerdraits and that sent to and due from other
banks Ton which, OF course. they pay the taxi
In other words, we deduct the amount due from
other banks from that due TO them, and add this
to the balance OF deposit account deposit less
overdraftsnO.
That there has been no published decision of
this Office in regard TO the above manner OF
making returns, is simply owing to the fact that
it has not hitherto been supposed that any bank
would claim TO be allowed 10 deduct from Its
deposits tue amount OF It's overdrafts or the sums
due from other banks virtually overdraits. The
deposits shown by the books of your bank are
the deposits to De returned Tor payment OF duty,
without any deduc ion, whether OF amounts due
from other banks or of individual overdratts,
which are really loans ilegitimately and i'm
properly made, opposed TO all principles OF good
banking, and against which there should be the
most strict regulations.
The S20,O0O mentioned by you as received
from the Metropolitan Bank as a 'call loan,"
and credited to said bank, is deposittupon
which duty should be paid, even though the
amount has been left by you with the same bank
subject to your draft. The deduction as an
offset of a like amount due from said bank would
not be proper
The check received by you from the Albany
Bank, and forwarded to the Saugerties Bank for
collection, having been credited by you to the
Albany Bank, must be returned bv you as a
deposit, so long as it may remain with you, and
this deposit the amoUnt YOU have charged % to the m
