WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH q.

Yesterday, in the Senate, Mr.. Summertime
duced "a bill to enforce the several provisions
Of the Constitution abolishing slavery, declaring
the immunities of citizens and guaranteeing a
republican form of government, by securing
the elective franchise to colored citizens"
which, after reciting in a preamble the au-
thority conferred by the several amendments
named provides that every citizen shall have
the right to vote in every State or Territory
at all elections, for Federal, State, or local
officers of every kind, upon equal terms, with
out regard to race or color, all State or terrific
rial constitutions or laws to the contrary not
withstanding. The remaining sections OF the
bill afix penalties fer the violation or obstruc-
ton Of the law and give exclusive jurisdiction
to the United States District Courts of offences
committed against the law. This Measure,
Mr. Sumner says, is to sever the Gordian knot
about suffrage in every State, and will force
the Northern States to taw.''
