however, are to be overlooked in carry.
ing the section into operation. In this
State, the man who attempts to have it
enforced will he kicked away from the
tribunal to which he appeals, Gas was
done when HoUNsHELL tried to have
NAT HARRISON impeached) and in To-
calities where the Radical party desires
to appear at all decent, the authority
of Congress to remove the disability

Section 4th puts the whole public
debt upon the same footing as bonnties
and pensions, which means, we suppose,
that greenbacks are good enough for
bonds. 1t is proper to remark, howev.
er, that when this Amendment was pro-
posed, the bondholders had not asked
for more than they were entitled to by
their csntract, otherwise it is fair to
presume they would have been provided
for. The same section incorporates the
resolutions of the Southern Conven-
tions of 1865, in reputation of the rebel
debt. AS this debt was conditioned
upon the success of secession and the
Confederacy, this formal reputation
merely kills dead snake. d.
Section 5th authorizes Congress to en-
force this article by appropriate legis-
lation. which is interpreted to mean that
it shall have power to. impose negro
suffrage upon every State in the Union.
