DKIvISe TTIRoUGH THE AMEND
MENT.

A Richmpnd paper has already driven
coach-and-six through the proposed consti-
tutionil amendment in regard to suffrage.
II argues, in substance, as follows; 'eThe
amendment enacts that when any class shall
be deprived of suffrage on account of race
or color, such class shall not be counted
as representative population. Very well !;
there Is no other restriction we may fix, as
qualification for voting, any amount Of
property, say hundred thousand dollars
in real estate; or we may require a voter to
understand Hebrew, or solve Euclid's
problems on the blackboard, or do any other
most difficult thing; IL we say nothing
about his race or his color the amendment
will not touch us" The property qualif-
cation il by no means unpopular even in
the North, and in the South It would effect
ually shut ont ninety-nine hundredths Of
the freedmen. Add to this the requirement
of reading and writing nuently, and the job
is done--the colored men are altogether ex-
cluded. OF course considerable number
Of poor whites would go overheard with
them, but that would be 50 mu n the more
agreeable TO the upper classes. BY the ju-
dicious application Of these principles most
Of the southern States might largely in
crease their representation in Congress,
while they decreased their voting numbers,
thus improving upon their favorite theory
OF keeping the government in The hands Of
the arisiocratic few.

THE BREACH.

The Cincinnati Gazette publishes, and the
Missouri Democrat copies approvingly, a
Washington letter describing, in the style
usually termed graphic" the scene in the
Federal House of Representatives on the
passage of the sufIrage-basis amendment.
Afer telling of the crowded galleries" &c,
the Gdseiie correspondent says:
The speaker was Thaddens Stevens. the Radi-
cal IL would be well for those who call him such

There was no long suspense. The reasons which

Raymond. He thanked the President for laying
his commands upon Congress. and spoke in the
most bitter and sarcastic terms Of the paper teie-
graphed 10 the press. This he did not mention
directly until asked by Green Clay Smith TO pro-
duce his evidence that the President had acted as

II is but fair TO say that the course Of the
majority in Congress upon the question Of
the amendment insti6es this reference, from
n Radical standpoint, 20 the hostility Of
Stevens q Co. 10 President johnson. The
manner in which the report Of the converse
ton between the President and Senator
Dixon was treated by the House was defiant
and insulting. There seemed to be an
eagerness to open the breach between the
Executive and Legislative Departments
But the contest Is only now begun. The
end IL not yet.

THE SMALL Pox HosPTTAL---t viii be
remembered that, at the last meeting of the
Common Council, a report was presented
relative to the Nashville and Davidson
county Small Pox Hospital, extending over
period of twenty days, that is from the
18th Of January TO the LIST Of February.
This hospital was established we believe
in 1861. During the occupation of the city
by the Federal forces, the hospital was used
by the military authorities. Since the 3rd
Of October last, however, it has been under
the charge of the civil authorities. After
wards, il was found advisable to make ar
engagements for putting the affairs of tie
hospital on better footing; and a joint COM
mittee, appointed by the County Court and
the City Council, made an agreement with
Drs A. A. Hatcher and j. F. Wilkinson to
take charge of the institution. We are in
debted to Dr. Hatcher for continuation of
the report referred to above, which extends
from the 11th day of January to
the 10th inst, and contains some
statistics which are peculiarly interesting.
One very suggestive fact is that while on
the 3lst day of January there were 164 pa
tents in the hospital, ON the 10th instant
there were only 40. From the LIST to the
10th of February there were admitted
into the hospital

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE--Last night, about
half past eleven o'clock, fire broke out in
the cellar ofthe hardware store occupied by
Driver & Brown, at No. 80, Public Square.
The various fire companies were promptly
on the ground, and succeeded about one
o'clock in extinguishing the flames. Mr..
Driver estimates his loss at about $4,000,
which is entirely covered by insurance. 1t
is supposed that the fire was the work Of an
incendiary, as Mr.. Driver was in the store
until eleven O'Clock, at which time he went
to bed, and soon after heard a voice at the
door. He says there was no combustible
material in the cellar, and that he cannot
account for the FIRE on any other suppo-
sition,

A SIGNIFICANT SIGN OF THE TTMEs.-lt
Is significant sign of the times that the Re-
publican House Of Representatives in Ohio
refuses TO indorse President johnson. They
voted down resolution of Mr.. Gaddis, of
this county, to that end. The vote was forty
one for to forty-three against. The Demo
Gratis and the following Republicans voted
for the motion: Messrs. Banning, Bronson,
Clark (of Guernsey, Coulter, Gaddis Hare,
Myers, Nixon, Oberkline, Phillips, Rhodes
and Wiles. The other Republican members
Of the House voted against taking up the
resolutions b indorse the President.
This, with the action Of the Democratic
State Conventions in New Hampshire and
Connecticut, shows how things are drifting.
The administration isentirely loose from the

The CHILEAN War-Excitement I'm Spain

fcers i'm Chill.
NEW York, Feb. 10.-Late advices state that in
Spain the news of the capture of the Spanish
steamer Cdnadorgua by the Chilians has caused
the most violent ferment, A warlike address has
been voted by the Certez. Instructions have been
dispatched to the Spanish Admiral to ayenge the
national honor. and the Madrid papers absolutely
foam with rage. One of the mildest of these
journals assert that Spain puts up with insults
from nobody and is not bound to show considefa-
ton for any country in the world. more vfo-
lent contemporary demands that wherever apalace
or hut inhabited by the bastard children of ours,
by these homicides may be seen, there must be
Spanish shell fall; whilst a provincial paper
gravely warns France, England and the United
States to stand aside, for whoever comes between
Spain and her foes is SPANS foe.
The Chillian meeting lately held in New York
had called forth lively fears in Spain for the safe
ty of Cuba, and the general excitement had been
augmented by the appearance on the Spanish
coast of two ron-clad frgates. supposed to be the
rams recently supplied by Alabama Laird to the
Chilian Government.
The Madrid correspondent of the London Times
says the war is not only with one or two of the
Republics. is not merely against a confederacy Of
all South and Central America, it may soon have
to be waged with SPANS own subjects of the An
titles and with those Yankee sympathisers, those
loose and desperate adventures of the North and
South who would undertake to scale heaven for
employment. and who, even if they cannot en-
broil their country in war in the support Of the
Monroe doctrine, will place men and mean.
enough Mt the disposal of SPANS enemies to make
them more than match for her power. 1t is pos
sible that these two iron-clads in Spanish waters
may be only to show what Young America may
do in the way of energy, spirit and enterprise.
