The Case Stated,

The Constitutional Amendment now
before the States for ratification very prop
erly leaves the question, as to who shall
vote and who shall not vote, with the
States. This is in accordance with the
working of our political system during all
our past history. What it does propose
TO change is the basis of representation
in the popular branch of the National
Legislature. AT present this is based
upon population, irrespective of color, age
sex and condition. The peculiar provision
contained in the Constitution as it now
is, giving the States three-fifths repre-
sentation upon their slave population, was
virtually abrogated by the abolition of
slavery; and now all--white people,
black people, frecmen and freedmen
count alike.
1t is proposed TO change this, and make
the voting population only the basis OF
representation, leaving it optional with
the States to make that voting popula-
lation large or small as they please
Should South Carolina, for example, see
proper, after having ratified the amend
ment, to adhere to her oligarchical forms,
and debar all colored men, and all
poor white men, from the privilege of the
franchise, she is free to do so; if she docs,
she must be content to part with pro.
portional amount of her weight in tho
popular branch of the National Legisla
ture.- But if, on the other hand, she
should elect to enfranchise all classes O.
her people, rich and poor white and
black, her representation will be proper
tionately increased. This is eminently
just, equitable and democratic.

Coming to their Senses,


There is reason to believe that the peo-
pie Of the South are coming to their SEN
ses. Whereas few weeks since they
were open and loudmouthed in their oppo-
sition to the Constitutional amendment,
they arc now beginning to discuss it, with
a great deel Of moderation and fairness,
and even look forward to its possible ac-
ceptance with something of satisfaction,
as possible basis of adjustment.
Thus the policy of the Republican ma
jority in Congress is securing triumph
ant vindication, while that of the Presi-
dent is repudiated as impracticable and
even by those in whose supposed
interest he has sacrifsed his manhood and
bartered away his honor. Every sensible
man can see, i'll the changing temper of
the Southern leaders, proof that had Mr..
JOHNSON from the outset honestly ex-
pressed the popular will in his measures
the whole question of reorganization
would before this have been settled by
ready acquicsceuce of the South in the
just and reasonable demands upon it.

The Eleotions,


sMy Policy" seems TO find little IA
vor with the people The returns from
the state Indicate that the Union majority
win be some 50,ooo--a greater majority,
says the Leader, than was ever given be-
fore on the homo vote of the State, except
for Brough. The Congressional ticket is
equally fortunate. EUe,y Union Dis
trict tsoo gears ago has elected a Union
Congressman. Those which have been
considered doubtful demonstrated that
the men who called them so did not know
them. Some people dreamed that the
First District would elect Pendleton, but
Cincin natl overwhelmed that scholarly
secesionist under more than thousand
loyal majority. The President wanted
to defeat Schenck in the Third District,
and to that end arranged an ill-assorted
union between Lew Campbell and Val
landigham in support of Durbin Ward,
but the voters of the district have repu-
dated this scheme and endorse Their
manly and fearless representative by
nearly two thousand majority. The
Seventh District stood grandly by
Shellabarger. The Ninth demonstrated
its hostility to coppcrheadism by crush
ing Fmefrock under fifteen hundred loya
majority. And so "round the circle,
everywhere, Union Congressman have
been sustained and "my policy" rebuket
by majorties without precedent. Th'
grandest victory of allis in the Thirteenth
District, which had become the battle
ground of the State, in which Mr.. Dc
lano has succeeded in overcoming an ad
verse majority of 755, and securing re
election. The news from Pennsylvania
and Indiana of Union triumphs, is mos
cheering. "NIy policy" has received
most terrible condemnation and will b
crushed forever undor the ballots of al
indignant people.

Things in Texas.

The dispatch of General Sheridan to
Governor Throckmorton, of Texas,
reveals an alarming state of things in
that State-one of utter lawlessness and
anarchy, and, in fact, renewal of the
rebellion and war. The General after
begging him to do all in his power to
keep order, says to the Governor: al
will do all in my power to satisfy the
ends of justice in every case; but I doubt
If Ymuchj,lstice can be done IN a com.

This looks very much like the renewal
of the scenes of the early part of 1861,
when Major Anderson was shut up by
surrounding traitors in the national de-
fsnses of Charleston Harbor. We had a
President then, who, although perversely
wrong, was too imbecile and ~cowardly
to do much either right or wrong; bat
the man we have now is much more dan
gerous; for he has shown himself to bs
wicked enough to ruin II he cannot rule
Our hope,s far as we may place 1t upon

ProcIamafIop

Almighty God, our Heavenly Father
has been pleased to vouchsafe to us an
other year of that national life which is an
indispensable condition of peace, security
and progress. That year, moreover, has
been crowned with many peculiar bless
ings. The civil war that was so recently
among us has not been anywhere re-
opened; foreign intervention has ceased
to.excite alarm or apprehension; intrusive
pestilence has been benignly mitigated;
domestic tranquility has improved; senti-
ments of concilation have largely pre-
vailed and affections Of loyalty and patri-
otism have been widely renewed our
fields have yielded quite abundantly our
mining industry has been richly reward
ed, and we have been allowed to extend
our railroad system far into the interior of
the country, while our commerce has re-
sumed its customary activity in foreign
seas. These great national blessings de-
mand a National acknowledgement.
Now, therefore, I Andrew johnson,
President of the Uuited States, do hereby
recommend that Thursday, the goth day
OF November next, be set apart and be
observed everywhere in the several States
and Territories of the United States by
the people thereof az day ofthanksgivine
and praise to Almighty God, with due
remembrance that in His temple doth
every man speak of His honor i recon-
mend, also, that on the same solemn occa-
sion we do humbly and devoutly implore
Him to grant our national councils and to
our whole people that wisdom which
alone can lead any nation into the ways of
all good. In offering these national
thanksgivings, prairie and supplieations,
we have the divine assurance that the
Lord remaineth king forever. Them
that are meek shall he guide in Judgment
and such as are gentle shall he learn his
way. The Lord shall give strength to
his people, and the Lord give to his peo-
pie the blessings Of peace.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand and
eaused the seal of the States to be afxed Done at
of our Lord one Thousand eight hundred and sixty

the opinion Of of the leading papers OF Canada on
this subjcct:
Most of our readers have doubt read some OF the
humorous advertisements of Gift Enterprises, Gift Con
certs &C., which appear from time to time In the puhc
prints Offering most tempting bargains to those who
will patronizo them In most cases these are genuine
hun,bugs But there arc few respectable firms who do
business in this manner and they do 1t as means OF In
creasing their Wholesale business, and not to make
money. From such firms II is true, handsome and very
valuable articles are procured for very small sum- and
what is more important one is ever cheated Every
person gets good vaue for his dollar because as we
have stated is intended to act as an advertisement 10
Increase their ordinary business.
We have seen numbers pzes sent out In this way by
SHERMAN WATSON q COMPANY, OF Nassau Street, N. Y,
and there is doubt that of the articles are worth
eight or ten times the money paid for them, "e we
have not seen or heard of single article which was not

of the exceptions of this rule for general thing the
