THE PENDING AMENDMENT.

As the Johnsonte speakers and journals continually
misrepresent, while they carefully suppress, the
Amendment to the Federal Constitution passed by
Congress and now before the States for ratification,
we print il by request in order that every
reader may see that it is not harsh nor vengefu and
does not disfranchise the Rebels-nOt even their
chief. Here it is;

A HOME ARGUMENT.

Can the labOrers and mechanics of this oycrtaxrd
city never be brought to realize their true position as
the parties chiefly ruined and robbed by the action of
this political conspiracy which we call the Ring 7"
Increase the taxes by frauds in all our local depart
ments, and it is not the wealthy property-hoders who
have to suffer They will increase the burdens Of the
suffering tenants. and every poor man will lind that
the few rooms which be occupies must pay more apd
more every year, owing to the excessive taxation
which results from the jobbing and misconduct of
the Ring" Some property holdcrs-the Roosevelt
family in particuar-have adopted sensible way Of
bringing this matter home to the minds oil tner Ten
ants Every receipt for rent has printed formula
on its face, showing how much is for actual rent and
how muchs the result cfour local taxation, with also
further statement exhibiting how much less the total
rental would he under the low taxes ten years ago,
when the City was honestly governed. Every prop
ery holder in New.York should issue similar receipts
as the best campaign document that could be devised
for bringing their suferngs under the Ring" home
to the hearts and pockets of the poor

The new Police Commissioners Of Baltimore WILL II
is reported make attempt to-day 10 iorcibly dis
possess Messrs Hindcs and Wood II Is supposed
that they will be resisted, and that Mr. johnson will
order L. s. troops TO sustain them. II this step is
taken the old Commissioners will yield, but Gov.
Swami must bear the responsibility Of deciding by an
appeal to military force, question which properly
belongs 20 the Courts. There Is serious
danger Of bloodshed in Baltimore and tho
Governor is doing nothing TO remove it. The Com
missioners with prudence aud moderation, have
offered to give the Conservatives Election Judges OF
their own choice but their oyertures have been
rejected The party which the Governor leads appears
determined to force issue, regardless Of the con-
sequences. We again urge the Union men of Balt-
more to yield rather than allow the Rebel spirit that
rules in New Orleans to trap them into violence.
Better to submit to the tyranny Of the Governor than
answer it by armed resistance. Gen. Grant, it is
understood, does not favor the removal Of the Com
missoner and will not act unless ordered to by the
President.

Mr. Isaac Bell is one of the Commissioners Of
Charities and Correction appointed by Matthew I.
Brennan, Controller of this city, Mr.. Bell has been
very industriOusy employed during the past two
weeks in soliciting bankers and Others to sign paper
which begs the said Matthew t. to crafty his adj
mrers the bankers aforesaid, by permitting his mama
to be used as a candidate for reelection in December
next We shall await with some impotence the
public announcement Of the names Of those capitalists
who arc so nconsderate and cruel as to insist that
Brennan shall sacrifice his Shy remaining in
Office for another four years. They ought not to do
il. We doubt, however, whether the collection 81
autographs will equal the famous list of respectabes
who signed similar paper in behalf of the Hon. Fer
nando Wood some years ago.

Mr.. James Casey an Irshman of this City, recently
wrote private letter to friend, who could not I'M
derstand why he should vote against the Democratic
candidates, which has found its way into print. Mr..
Casey says that for twenty years he has marched
up to the polls to vote the regular Democratic ticket
at every election. Twas o poor man when L began
it, and I'm no better off for supporting the Demo-
cratic party" Much worse off, Mr.. Casey, we are
sure; and it is well you have discovered that you will
never get richer by supporting the tax-making and
Treasury -plundoring Ring" We quote the concu-
sion OF the letter:

Friends in the rural districts We assure you
that no 5000 majority can be poed in this City for
John 7. Hoffman g. Co. Desperate as Is the Mu-
nicipal Ring" Of public punderers, it has not 3oVoo
legal majority at lis back and it cannot cheat US 50
much as 1OO 900. We arc better organized than ever
and our laws afford us better protection against
fraudulent voting and fraudulent counting we can
not be cheated as We have been, unless viloiny has
devised ways and means hitherto unhcard Of.
Friends in the interior We entreat you to do your
very best on Tuesday. Let no vote be lost that can
possibly be saved We can, we MUST, keep New
York in line with all the States uncursed by tho
performance Of Slavery and Rebellion. Forward to
the struggle and the victory!

Certain Copperhead journals are labOring very hard
to make the public believe that Gov. FESroS is re-
sponsibe for the present obstruction to travel in Broad

never signed bill giving the Railroad Company any
such power and where they get their authority to do

Let there be no trading. The Democrats ara doing
their best to trade of votes for Congressman for vo,os
for FentOn, but we hope there are few Republicans
who can be gulled into the exchange. We have
already said that it is pure folly to buy what don't
want Our delegation to Congress is sure to DO
elected and the Republican who, on any pretense,
fails to vote the State Ticket guilty Of giving aid
and comfort to the enemy. Do our friends remember
the story Of the Farmer and the Eff The twain
made bargain TO farm field on shares, and the
Elf agreed that the first year he should have all the
crop that grew below the surface of the ground The
cunning farmer planted corn, and when the unlucky
Elf complained of the harvest, "Well," said tina
farmer II want to be fair next year you shall have
ell that grows above the ground" agreed"
answered the Elf, and the Farmer planted potatoes

The Republican County Committee of Eric County.
in this State, have published interesting and vau
able table of votes in every ward and town Of the
county for the last ten years. exhibiting the votes cast
for the Republican, American (Know-Nothing) aud
Democratic parties in each of those years. the Repub-
lican OF Democratic majority in 1864 and the number
of native aud naturaized voters in 1866. Added 10
the table are evident inferences" revealing some
curious facts for instance, that the Republicans have
gained fastest in the city (Buffalo) where they have
extnguished 1900 majority against them, while tho
Democrats have somewhat gained in the country.
The Republicans have gained rapidly where natural
lied voters most abound, while the Democrats have
gained the chief share of the American or Know
Nothing vote. In several wards of Buffalo the DEM
ocratc vote in 1864 shows increase altogether alb
normal and about covering the majority Of Humphrey
for Congress. The table is model which deserves to
be initiated by every Republican County Committee
in the United States Tables like this cannot fail to-
duse political and statistical information that is
much needed.

The great meeting at Cooper Institute last night was
full proof of the enthusiasm OF the Union men OF New
York. and, We believe Of their resolution to poll their
entire vote on Tuesday. The ball was packed, and
meeting was organized outside Our report includes
the speeches of Gen. Fremont, Gen. Woodford, Gen.
Cochrane, and other gentlemen, who ably presented
the issues of the canvass. The men who attend and
address such great meetings as this who watch the
Registry and are busy night and day in enlightening
the public, have right to ask Of those less active
that they shall do their duty at the polls. The
jorty of Republicans have little time for the canvass,
though each can do something in bis own precinct;
but none should neglect to VOTE and to see, as far as
possible, that his neghbOrs vote. An immense vote
will be pOlled Oh Tuesday and nothing but criminal
apathy can prevent Union gain.

Tgs NON EDMUND l.. PITTS.

The Hon. Edmund l.. Pitts Of Orleans County has
consented to serve another term in the Legislature
The course of Mr.. Pitts irthe Assembly last Winter
was so upright, honorable and energetic, and he was
so ervent in his advocacy Of the reform measures for
our city, that our good people here looked to him and
few like him for protection againstthe many iniqni-
Gus schemes of corrupt city officials The taxpayers
on this island will rejoice to Mr. Pitts again in the
Legislative halls at Albany. IL should bring the
blush Of shame to the cheek Of our people 10 know
that there was not single member Of the Assembly
from this city in whose hands the friends OF reform
felt that they could safely trust the great interests
committed to their care. We thank our friends in
Orleans County for sending to Albany such man as
Mr. Pitts, and We trust that on next Tuesday he will
receive majority that will prove that his services
are as appreciated in Orleans County as in New.YOrk
City.

Is it the will of the people of the City of New-York
that the rule of the halfdOzen of men who own and
run the Tammany and Mozart "machneS" shall en-
dure foreyerl IL appears, Notwithstanding that IN
making up the tickets which people are expected
to elect under this SYSTEM that the people themselves
have no voice. Every member of the Ring is an
old politician who seems to have but three objects IN
life: First, to multiply on himself, his brOthers-In-
law, his cousins and all his adherents, an immense
variety Of sinecure offices; secondly TO perpetuate
himself in this unholy power in continual
ton and coalition with Others of like stamp
in the same pursuit; thirdly, by every act oil
chcanery, fraud, altered contracts and extor-
Tomato prices allowed to special friends and vast pay
mens made for work never DONE depete the treasury
and increase the burdens of the suffering poor. Shall
the crime of this ruinous system continue, and shall it
be perpetuated as Institution, or will the independ'
ent manhood of all classes, aaying itself under the
banner of Reform, irrespective of party unite next
Tuesday in one grand effort for the overthrow of the
"Ring" by the election of the ticket Of John Scdg-
