AMENDING The CONSTITUTION

The action this week Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives gives little reason for hope that tho
Federal Constitution will be further amended in
the interest of Equal Rights and Impartial
Laws. If every member Of the majority is to
insist on having precisely his own way and
nothing varying one iota from this, We must
relnquish all expectation that anything OF
value will be achieved. Our decided impression
now is, that no amendment that originates with
Congress this Winter is likely to be engrafted
on the Constitution. ---..---.---'
1t might-nay, it should-have been other.
wise. Had those who have determined on
I" $40 4V or fight" at once accepted and sus-
tanned the proposition reported by Messrs. Fes-
senden and Stevens from the Joint Committee
on Reconstruction, they would have stood a
fair chance to carry their own more thorough
measure, or at least to place 1t fairly before the
People; but, in opposing and defeating this
they secure the defeat of all further Constitu'
tional Amendments whatever. We simply note
facts as they appear. .rn .Issia

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Trumbull, from
the Judiciary Committee, reported bill pro-
viding an appeal in cases under the 5th section
of tho act of 1863, from the Court of Claims to
the Supreme Court. A bill was reported from
the Naval Committee concerning the relief Of
seamen. A joint resolution for an amendment
to the Constitution, prohibiting compensation
by the United States, or by any State, for
emancipation of slaves or payment of any Rebel
debt, was referred. Petitions were presented
from citizens of Colorado for the admission Of
that State, on condition Of striking out the word
white from its Constitution; and for the extern
sion of suffrage to women. Mr.. Trumbull,
from the Judiciary Committee. reported
resolution that it is inexpedient to re-
peal the Test Oath. A resolution was
offered and objected to for an inquiry astolegis'
lation for the protection and relief Of loyal
citizens whose property had been confiscated by
the Rebel government. The Freedmen's Bu-
reau bill was taken up. Amendments to strike
out the three-year titles to the negroes on the
Sea Islands; to strike out the section providing
for the purchase of lands for the freedmen;
restricting the Bureau to States where there are
no civil courts; rejecting military jurisdiction;
and several others of similar purport, mostly
offered by MFR. Garet Davis, were successvely
rejected. Mr.. McDougall offered substitute
authorizing the President to execute the laws
which was rejected. 1t was agreed that the
main question should be taken to-day at
o'clock, and the Senate then adjourned. =
In the House, petition from the l77th Regi'
ment New-York Volunteers for bounties was
presented and referred. Bills were introduced
to grant pensions to soldiers Of 1872; and to
grant bounties to soldiers Of 1861 and 1862;
which were duly referred. The House then
took up the Constitutional Amendment reported
on Monday by Mr.. Stevens from the Recon-
struction Committee, and it was debated by
Messrs. Lawrence, Sbellabarger, Eliot,
Schenck, Pike, Kelley, Broomall, Cook, and
Marshall. Various amendments were proposed,
and without taking any vote the House adj
journed.

The Japanese Government have deemed It
necessary to grant another demand of the
representatives of the foreign powers, BY
opening, from Jan. ]. 1866. two more ports
to foreign trade. These two ports are Hioga
and Osaca-the latter one of the most important
cities Of the Empire, having population Of
more than 100000 inhabitants, and being. in
fact, the commercial capital of Japan. Both
are situated not far from Miaco, the residence
Of the Mikado or Spiritual Emperor. The
Importance Of this concession for the permanent
establishment Of foreign commerce, and for
enlarging the general intercourse Of Japan with
civilized nations, Is obvious. 1t Is the most
efiectual blow which has yet been given Japan.
ese natiyism. Not only will the establishment of
the foreigners in the commercial capital accus.
tom the native mind to foreign intercourse
more rapidly than the trade Of any other port
has done, but the nearness of Osacs tO Miaco is
likely to undermine considerably the mysterious
authority Of the Spiritual Emperor, to which
tho long separation Of japan from the civilized
world is chiefly due. Throughout the last two
years the Japanese Government have made
great efforts to prevail upon the 'tTreaty-
Powers" to consent to the postponement Of the
opening of Osaca. In February, 1864. new
embassy was for that purpose sent to Europe,
but it returned without having accomplished its
object.
The japanese are by far the most enterprislng
and progressive people Of Eastern Asia, and are
therefore likely to turn their acquaintance with
the civilized world to better advantage than the
Chinese and other Asiatics have thus far done.
We learn from England that the japanese Com
missioners who were sent there last year by
their Government to inspect the principal indus
trial establishments Of the country, and to re-
port upon the various kinds Of machinery most
suitable for introduction into Japan, were re-
Gently at Ipswich, and attractedmuch attention
by their keen and intelligent observation, 1t
may, therefore, be expected that trade between
Japan and those foreign countries with which
It has concluded commercial treaties may soon
assume important dimensions. The powers
with which treaties have been concluded are
thus far the following; The United States
(ls54). England (ls54l, Russia (lSS5), Hol'
lsud (ls55\, Portugal Us6O), Prussia (ls6l),
Switzerland (1s64). 94

AN ELEVATED RAILROAD.

Sincerely hoping that tho Legislature may
give the projectors Of an Elevated Railroad affair
chance to show what they can do in our City
in Broadway, If the property.holders and traders
on that street are willing; if not, then In some
other-we insist that these conditions be rigidly
insisted on: -,.. ..- ,.-.,..-
/. One cent from each fare to be paid into the
Treasury of our City, and sacredly devoted to
the reduction of the principal Of her Debts
2. The right reserved to the Legislature to
order the work taken down, If 1t should prove
in any respect nuisance,
8. The work to be so constructed, and the
material employed so bronzed or colored. as to
be INTELLECTUALLY an ornament to our City.
a. Arrangements for carrying people rapidly
on through trains, and more slowly where they
are taken up or stop at way stations.
s. Keep the streets absolutely clear OF all
obstruction to travel or business, by supporting
the Railroad entirely on single row of pillars,
IS to 40 feet apart, between the sidewalk and
the curb-stone, connecting these, if deemed
advisable, by Light, graceful arch spanning
the street. 40
Such road would be generally popular,
and would be great advantage to out-of.town
residents, who would rather not spend two or
three hours per Gay getting into and out OF the
City, if third Of the time will answer.

These figures are taken from the returns made
to the Internal Revenue Commissioners. Near.
ly every dollar of those three immense sums
was expended for the support of single laborers
and laborers with families. See how large o
portion Of the money went directly to farmers.
The Superintendent of the Works, in his reply
to the interrogatories Of the Commissioners,
says: "The population sustained by the opera.
tions of our company, consume annually about
1900 head of beef cattle, 5000 head of sheep,
and the product Of not less than 1000 head Of
hogs Our whole consumption of wheat -four Is
about 10000 barrels. Johnstown is one Of
the best markets in the country for all kinds Of
food. Large quantities Of the more perishable
kinds, such as garden vegetables, butter, eggs,
fruits, &C., are brought from Pittsburgh and
other Western markets; as the production Of the
surrounding country is unable to supply our de-
mand."
No wonder is it that farming land within two
miles of the Cambria Iron Works Is worth from
$50 to $500 per acre, without improvements |!
And vet this same land, If tho Works were wiped
out by British Free Trade, would not be worth
cent more than the average value of similar
Pennsylvania land for agricultural purposes,
which is $50 per acre. Such is the testimony
of one Of the most intelligent men In Pennsyl.
vanis, whose character will give credit to bis
statements wherever be il known. He also
bears witness to the fact, Thich true economists
would anticipate-that the direct influence Of
the Works, in making Q quick and profitable
market for farm products and enhancing the
value of the BOIL, is felt for fifty miles all around
Johnstown!
What volume Of teaching, farmers, there Is
in these figures and facts The benefcent In
fluence Of the Cambria Iron Works Is, to q
greater or less degree, the influence Of every
one of the $50 iron.producing establishments
now struggling for life in the United States.
Each and all are convenient markets for the
sale, at constantly augmenting prices, OF every
product of the soil, and in which the capital In.
vested in the farm doubles. trebles, and quadru-
pies, by silent growth that is sure, and yet taxes
