otis VERY COLD!" cried the pauper OF
Gotham, shivering in his tattered garments
whilst the recent severe cold spell prevailed.
Its frost was sharp and biting. The Tribune
says there was mo fur thick enough, no
clothing warm enough, to resist The fierce on
set of the frost. No one Ioiters in our streets
to-day. The best clad walk fast The poorly
clad run. But, walk rs they may, or run rs
they may, they can neither escape nor evade
the pitiless fiend who pursues them" "They
ought TO be'gra teful," continues the Tribune,
'who have homes of comfort now. They
ought to show that they are thankful for the
protection they enjoy by extending il rs far as
their means will permit TO the shivering and
homeless poor of the city" And then the
humanitarian of the Tribune proceeds to tell the
sleek and com Portable inhabitants of the fine
houses Of the squalid wretchedness that is TO
be- found in the heart of their city. We can
not but contrast this sad picture with the
scene of comfort and happiness everywhere
presented by the African of the South before
the war, and ask how Is it that men who have
such misery 1T their doors should never rest
until they have afflicted other communities
with similar wrelcheducss? The Tribuae says
"In the fourth precinct of this city there
beds, or bedding, or windows or ventilation.
Their walls are Of stone or brick, and their
floors are rotten and damp: they are so hlthy
that words refuse 10 paint their condition, ana
they crawl with loathsome yermin. In these
underground styes, human beings are nightly
huddled together-regardess OF sex, regard
less of age, regardless of race, and utterly
regardless of dccency. Here thieves, bcggars
and prostitutes +; here rag pickerS, pump, and
drunkardS; here young and old, boys anu girls,
men and women, meet together and sleep
together-inhaling their poisonous air, ana
breathing their still fouler moral atmosphere
here they rest or lie down until the daybreak
enables them 10 issue forth TO their wonted
tasks again; 10 steal, TO corrupt, 10 deceive,
and TO disseminate the diseases which such
places generate. For single lodging in these
infcrnos, the wretches who 90 down TO them
pay from six to fifteen cents night, Al NO,
IL Mulberry street, i'll one room fourteen bS
ten feet, twenty persons, men and Women are
lodged at the rate of six cents each
This is the lowest depth. But there Is
wretchcdncss enough that tries 10 Weara more
decent aspect, which is in pleniiinl need OF oul
friendly assistance. Go 10 any OF our city
missionaries, or 10 any of our benevolent asso
Citations, and each Of them can tale unfold OF
human sufleriug-which ii is in the power OF
our richer classes 10 relieve / I not remoNe-tha'
is enough 10 harrow mp the soul ofany listener

CLEOPATRA a NIGGER,' AFTER ALL. We
alluded, the other day, 10 what we considered
a very absurd notion prevalent with certain
nr-rophihsts with regard 10 CLEOPATRA, viz
hat she was negro. We thought we had
good authority on our side. The first OF her
ancestors OF whom nything is known was
ProIFNY, Il General Of ALEXANDER THE GREAT,
10 whom, in the division OF that conqueror' 5
asst empire the kingdom of Egypt fell. The
family continued TO reign over Egypt until, III
the time of CLEOPATRA and in her person, ii
became extinct PToLENY PHILADBLPHrs, one
Of CLEoPATRA's ancestors, was the man who
ordered the translation OF the Old Testament
INTO Greek. II was done, and the work is
SIN cXtaut under the name of the sep
tuagiat'-so called because PToLEMY en-
ploycd seventy learned men in the work,
The family Of PToLEAY, generally, was one
ot the most illustrious OF antiquity. We
certainly never read that they were negroes.
On the contrary, every writer, ancient ana
modern, who has spoken OF them n ALL de-
scribes them as pure Grcek-the highest ana
most refined of all the Caucasian types.
But we stand corrected a Judge has de-
cided, upon the bench, that CLEOPATRA was
"a Niger" and such she must be 10 the
,ud Of time How wise Judges have become
IN these latter days

THE NoRNoNs The resolution introdu ced
into Congress looking 10 the extinction Of
pov.amy in Utah will create profound
sensation among the Latter Day Saints. They
vii! consider it violation of that freedom OF
conscience for which our forefathers of va
r.Ous religious prrsuasions abandoned their
comfortable homes in Europe and planted
the rudmentS OF civilization in the Western
wilderness. Ills 4 fundamental article Of the
Mormon creed that a man may have rs many
wives as he is able to support. In conformity
with This precious privilege, they have relieved
society Of the Aaintenapce of large number
Of women who could have been neither an
advantage nor an ornament TO any other COM
4uuulty, and secluded them from contact
wiki the world in the neighborhood of the
salt Lake. II is in no spirit of unseemly
Irrevrreuce that we suggest that Utah may
BE- considered the sewer Of civilization. 1t
1D>Orbs. in a great measure, that description
o! humanity which might otherwise tester
and ulccratc the body polite and social. This
great sink Of the moral pu.rescence OF man
kllld i 50 far removed from the contact & the
Gentle race, and so advantageously situated
acar the purifying waters of Salt Lake, that,
viewed as Il question OF eXpcdiency, it may he
doubtful whether the public health will be
promoted by its removal.
In 4 political point of view, it may be doubt
ful whether it is not violation OF the equal
rights which all men possess under the Ameri-
can Cons ritution, 10 permit the inhabitants OF
u territory in the West 10 have more wives
1hyn the citizens OF Independent States in the
East The question of religious liberation in
VOWED in this case is more difficult. What are
10 tr the limits of religious liberation? We
rhoalI like an opinion on this subject from the
eminent theologians OF Congress. Under the
American Constitution all men are guaran-
,lcd perfect liberty Of religious belief. Sup
pose Il society Of those Pagans, Il part Of whose
r,hip consists in Offering human sacrifices,
-Aould settle on our Pacific coast: would il be
considered an act of religious intolerance 10
prevent the exercises of their faith This Will
barely ho pretended. Is any society, whose
creed involves practices antagonistic 10 the
morality of Christeudom, TO be tolerated. II
does very we'll 10 talk about freedom of con
science but there are certain limits 10 tolera-
uon, - the Mormons, il is 10 be hoped, will be
taught before long.

Mr. Blaiue'> Proposed Amendment of the Con-
stitution.

John W. Eorney, who may be presumed to
be we'll informed i'll regard 10 the opinions of
hr, brother Radicals, says that tie amendment
to he Constitution proposed the other day by
Nr. Blaine will be adopted by both Houses of
Congress. This statement gives an importance
10 Mr. Blaine's proposition 10 which we had
10; supposed il to be entitled. The reader will
naturally d ,irc TO learn its precise nature,
which the following explanation will show
" The Federal Constitution. article one, sec
ton two, provides that representatives aud
direct taxes shall be apportioncd among the
Sc\erai States which may be included within
THIS lnlon according TO their respective mum
hers, which shall be determined by ddding 10
f' hnt1hs aaaHber II free PERSONS Including those
''#i u Ss'.rtc, frr tenn gf Hedfs and erctudiHg
.'s4hS "", tnr,d, tres .fhhs cf all othtr persons
>lANe>l. Mr.. Blaine's proposition before the
committee on Reconstruction strikes out all
ia" words IN italics of this provision, and sub
>..tutcS the following: Taking the whole
number Of persons, except those to whom DO
Eacal rights or privileges are denied or
a5rdged by the Constitution or laws of any
state on account OF race or color
This amendment would leave the repre-
,rutation OF the Northern States as it is-ex-
lcpt III Indiana and perhaps one or two other
S:atrs--and would deprive the Southcrn States
d: representation based upon negroes only
- long a the negroes shall be disfranchised
at. 1cc,,t cf rae, ~ color" 1t Is not so OBJ
lec,!onabse rs it might seem 10 be 1T the first
glance All we have to do to avoid its operation
is to change our Constitution, rs was proposed
several weeks ago by some member of the
House OF Delegates, so rs to make the right of
suffrage depend upon the possession of 4 GER
tain amount of property and intelligence, and
not upon race or color" We do not COM
Iul, ourselves III favor Of such n concession to
the Radicals we only say that il would give
our State a full representation in Congress,
and would open the ballot box TO very few ne
