WASHINGTON, June S.-The amendments OF
the Senate Judiciary Committee to the House
Omnibus Admission bill adds Florida and ex-
cludes Alabama. The fundamental condition
is that there shall never be an abridgement OF
the right Of suffrage on account OF race and
COLOR and in the case Of Georgia, the nullifca-
ton of the first and third subdivisions OF
section II of the fifth article OF the con-
sisution is required, except the progiso to the
first subdivision, that the Legislature may be
convened within thirty days after the passage
of the act by the Governor elect, with the pre-
requisite that the State Legislature shall
adopt the fourteenth amendment, which fact
it is the duty of the President to proclaim
within ten days after the official notification OF
its adoption. -
The Ways and Means Committee have
agreed to postpone action on the tariff until
the next session, except special action on some
articles. Sugar will not be touched this ses-
sion. sS5G
The whiskey tax VIII not be more than sew
enty.fve cents nor less than afty cents, with
probability Of . compromiss at sixty cents.
The tax ON cigars will remainfat S. The above
statement is gathered from sources deemed
certainly reliable:-
A. telegram inthe Herald, processing to origi-
nate with psrson enjoying intimate relations
with Chase, represents that Chase would only
accept the nomination, when the nation was in
utmost peril, and not then at the sacrifice OF
his honest convictions. He admits that the
Radical party and himbeN differ widely, and as
the parties are now Organized he is with the
Democratic. He. differs with them only
on one point-that of universal man
hood suffrage, but agrees with them on all
other great issues, and says that If elected BY
that party he .woul1 certainly Cary out their
policy. The deplorable condition Of the South
ern States demands proper congressional con-
aideration and also material aid from the Gene
raj Government. There is no constitutional
authority for holding these States in subjec-
tion.. It is alike unwise and unjust. He
favors enfranehisement and removal OF
political disabilities from every white man
in the South. he thinks freedom and man
hood outrage are unquestoned rights, but
controyerts any other power than the States
themselves to confer the right-the general
government having no.oontrolo over the matter.
He is opposed to political disabilities, and
proposes general amnesty aB 8 relief. He
regards general amnesty as absolutely ne
cessary, and urges liberal aid to Southern
railroads and nayigsble rivers. He thinks
the government should build levees from
Cairo to the Gulf. He also urges an early
return to specie payments, and condemns In
strong terms the trial Of citizens by military
commissions during peace. The hope is ex-
pressed that If Mr.. johnson reorganlzes hls
Cabinet he will appoint due proportion from
the Southern States. Replying to question,
Mr.. Chase said Congress had no authority to
sbridge the Presidents pardoning power.
The Secretary Of War, at the suggestion OF
the Gene ral Of ihe armies, sends to the House
a letter from the Commander OF the First Dis
trict, dated May 18th, concerning the effect
of the fourteenth article in the State while un-
der provisional government. he supposes
the effect would be to make vacant all Offices
held by persons incompetent under the
amendment, and the number in Viz
ginia would be several thousand, while
but small portion Of these vacancies can pos
aibly be filed by persons OF ability, and COM
petent to take the test oath. General Schoheld
sdds: oI have already appointed in Virginia
nearly Eve hundred officers, and would have
appointed more II qualified persons could have
been found. When the amendment is adopted,
alarge number Of Offices must remain vacant
until Congress Civ es some relief"
The Printers Union called on the President,
who, among other remarks, said: 81 consider
tia nobler distinction to wear upon my gar
ments the tinge of the shop. and the dust OF
the street t;lan al the insignia that may at
tach from victories won on the field, numbered
with crushed and bleeding humanity. The
aristocracy of labor is true Democracy, and to
that aristocracyI belong"
