Washington Gossip.

Washington dispatches state that a
new idea has been preached by certain
Southern politicians in favor of allow
ing every native and naturalized citizen
of the United States in the reconstruct
ed States the right to vote i'll the coming
Presidential election. The idea is, brief
ly, that the constitutional amendment
of the Constitution, known as article
fourteen, only deprives of the right to
hold Office such persons as, anterior to
the rebellion, took an oath to support
the Constitution, and afterward engaged
in the rebellion, or gave aid and COM
fort to the enemy. By referring to the
article it will be noticed that not a word
is said about the right Of such persons
to vote, and hence Southern politicians
contend that they have not been depriv-
ed Of that right by the new amendment.

In the matter of session of Congress
in September the Republican members
seem to have agreed that if they do not
meet they are in danger of loosing the
