The latest accounts from Spain. which are TO
Jan. Il, leave but little doubt that Gen. Prm
had not met with that support on which he
relied for,the success Of his enterprise. Still,
the restoration Of tranquility was not yet SO
complete as the official dispatches of the Gov
eminent day by day announced. Even at the
date Of our latest adyices Dan. ~ Madrid
telegram announces that "some armed men
had appeared in the vicinity of Reus, in Catalo-
MA and that " the movements of the troops in
that province continue"
1t is announced that the Prime Minister has
instructed the Generals who are pursuing Prm
not to capture the latter, but 10 drive him into
Portugal. The report, which seems to be well
founded gave rise to the strangeSt rumors.
The Qneen was said to be in sympathy with
Prm, and to refuse to sign his deposition from
his dignity as Senator. II is hardly necessary
to state that all rumors of this kind are entirely
untrustwOrthy.
The Portuguese Legislature do not like the
project Of an Iberian kingdom, to be composed
of union between Portugal and Spain-a
project which is entertained by many Spanish
Liberals, and is believed 20 count also Prim
among its supporters. On Jan. 6, tho Cham
Der of Representatives unanimously protested
against the scheme.

THE AMENDMENT.

In the House, yesterday, Mr.. Stevens from
the Joint Committee on Reconstruction, re-
ported what's designated "the COnkling Amend
ment." which had been recommitted toit the day
before, merely striking out the words land d.
rect taxes" so that it reads as follows:
"ARTICLE -. Representatives shall be sp-
portioned among the several States which may
lie included within this Union according to Their
respective numbers, counting the whole num-
Der of persons in each State, excluding Indians
not taxed; prorided, that uhenerer the siect're
franchise shall be denied or abridged in any STATE,
on account of race or color all persons such race
or color shall be excluded from the basis o. repre-
sentdtiOn."
Before voting on the main Amendment, the
House, by $50 to 80, rejected Gen. SchenckS
substitute, which proposed
THAT the appOrtionment shall be according

years of age having the qualifications requisite

Mr.. Anthony of Rhode Island is reported as
having introduced yesterday in the Senate bill
TO restrict the elective franchise in the District
of Columbia to such persons as were entitled to
vote in 1863 The telegraph gives what pur'
ports to be a synopsis of this extraordinary
measure, yet we can scarcely believe its account
q correct one. Are we to suppose Mr.. Anthony
oblivious Of the recent vote in the House, and
Indifferent to the all but unanimous sentiment
OF his party? Whether suffrage should be
based on intelligence may be question, but
that it should not be based on color is the
settled opinion of the Republican majority In
Congress and of the American people III whose
behalf they lcgislate. We hope the telegraph
does Mr.. Anthony injustice in putting him on
the other side.

[The Nays include all the Democrats voting,
with Messrs. Raymond Baldwin, Elliot, Green
Clay Smith, Hale, Harding, Humphrey, Jenckes,
Noell Phelps, Rousseau, and Whaley chosen
as Unionsts.
The Speaker announced that, two-thirds OF
the House having voted in the affirmative, the
House assents to the Amendment.
We hardly need repeat that we most heartily
approve and commend this action. The Amend
ment is right in ITSELF and it is one that will
commend itself to every fair mind. 1t says to
each State Judge for yourself as to the Right
of Suffrage within your own limits; but do not
ask other States to count as portion OF the
body polite those Of your inhabitants to whom
you deny that character" We might choose to
go further if we could do as we would; but we
do not believe it practicable to carry the
people further at present; and we prefer estab-
fishing principle which will bring all right
in time to attempting to do more at once,
with a moral certainty of failure. The fact that
ultra Radicals and ultra Conservatives con-
curredin opposing this Amendment will COM
mend It to the favor Of the great majority. We
have strong hopes of its success.
And now let us hope that the Finances,
Currency, Resumption and improved and simpli-
fed Taxation, will soon claim the attention of

Constitution. Mr.. Trumbull said they
were citizens in some States before the
adoption of the Constitution, and that the
Supreme Court of North Carolina had so de-
