THE WHEAr CRoP ABRoAD.-The crop of
wheat in Belgium is now expected to prove rather
better than had been anticipates and il the har-
vest is bad in Algeria and an average in Southern
Russia, It is satisfactory in the Rhenish provinces
and exceptionally abundant in Hungary. At
Hawe, business in wheat has been quiet OF late
Al Marseilles, the contrary, it has been rather
animated, and disposable lots Of wheat have sold
readily. At Odessa, after period OF great acty-
ity, the wheat market has entered upon a quiet
phase in consequence OF the less stimulating ad-
vices received from Western Europe; stocks are
stated however, TO be much reduced at Odessa
At St. Petersburg and Constaninople the wheat
markets were firm at last adyices.

A southern Paciflc railroad.

A strong effort is about to be made to
secure the aid of Congress in construct
ing Pacific Railroad from point on the
Gulf of Mexico, By an air line route only
one thousand two hundred and sixty Eight
miles long, to the Pacific Ocean. For
this purpose an association of capitalists
has organized in connection with A. j.
Hamilton, of Texas, and other Southern
loyalists." They propose to introduce a
bill in Congress at an early day to carry
out their idea These gentlemen claim
that if.the annual Government expendi,
lures along the line of their proposed
route, for military purposes are capital
lied and the bonds thus created are loan
ed to a railroad company as the work
progresses, the arrangement will give the
country the required road, without dol
lar of money in addition to what musI
otherwise continue to be expended for d
generation to come IN giving military
protection tdsthe region through which
the road is to pass.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.


The Senate to-day passed bill proyis
ding for universal suffrage in all Of the
Territories. It went to the House for CON
currence, and was passed without amend
ment or debate. Ittherefore goes to the
President for approval The Senate also
passed the House bill for the meeting OF
the Fortieth Congress on the 4th Of
March. with verbal amendments which
the House concurred in subsequently, ,and
this bill also goes to the President for
his approval. The Senate then consid
cred the bill relating to the tenure of Of
fee, but did not reach vote.
In the House an attempt was made to
pass the Nebraska Bill, with the amend
meut adopted, in the Senate yesterday,
which exacted negro suffrage from Ne.
braska as a condition subsequent to her
admission into the Union. But thirty.
nine votes were cast to sustain the previ-
Gus question, and the bill was. finally laid
over. The tenor of the debate was
against the bill as it now stands, and The
admission of Nebraska. or Colorado IS
therefore, virtually negatived. The bes
lawyers in the House are against tht
amendment alluded to. A

constitutional Amendment.

OF the eleven States that have acted
upon the amendment, six have adopted
and FIVE have rejected it. The Coustitu-
ton requires three -fourtHs Of all the
States to ratify it before it becomes par
Of the Same.
It is impertireut to talk of imposing
terms on the South, when the South is
just as free to reject the profered terms
as to accept them There IS no poauer IN
the Government to punish a State for re-
fasing 10 ratity amendments to the Con-
stitaion. When, by the requisite mum
Der Of ratifcations, such amendments be.
come part Of the Constitution they have
sthe force Of law, and bind the whole
country; but while they are mere propo.
sails, they have no sort Of legal force.
There are thirteen States that will GER
tainly reject the pending amendment; and
their rejection kills it 9as dead as Julius
Cesar. Well being thus killed, what
next2 Is it "to rest in the hopes of !
glorious resurrection" like the piou'
dead whose epitahs We read on tomb

therefore reach tfty-two before such an

RF What has become of our member
of Congress, Tobias A. Plants, member
elect from the 18th Congressional Dis
tric. Once during the present session
we noticed his namesi in the list of 's.'dod-
gers on the impeachment resolutions.
That won't do, Mr.. Plants; the party
that elected you to Office expect you to
vote for the impeachment Of the Presi-
dent, for the reversion Of the Southern
States to a territorial condition, for the
perfect equality of the Negro, for the dis
franchlsement of sufficient number Of
whites to give your party the majority,
Cor the overthrow of the Suprume Court,
the decisions of which are particularly
damaging to your party, and finally to SO
disconcert the affairs of the Nation as to
speedily bring about another war.
Don't act in Congress as you did il
Monroe last year, leave without saying
your speech. That was sharp but your
masters in this District expect you to toe
| the mark squarely now that you are N. @
for two years longer, and they won't al
low dodging. If you disobeS, there is .
germ of aspossibiiity' that you viii heal
