The New Amendment.

IT'S OVERWHELMING PASSAGE IN THE HOUSE,
THE FEELING IN wAsHINGToN-MR BINGHAM
VOTES WITH THE DEMOCRATS.
Correspondence Fhilddciphia Post.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 80.
The great event in the House yesterday
was the passage of the joint resolution re-
ported from the Committee on the Judiciary
by Mr.. Boutwell, submitting to the State
Legislatures an amendment to the Consti-
tuition providing for universal suffrage. All
the Republicans voted for II with the cxcep-
ton of John A, Bingham, of Ohio, Jehu
Baker, Of Illinois, and David llalsey, of
West Virginia. or course the Democrats all
voted against ii. The Southern men who
voted against il were Nelson Tiff, and p. M.
d. Young, of Georgia. Mr.. Bingham had
himself proposed an amendment which, when
put to a vote, could command but twenty
six supporters. This overwhelming defeat
enraged him so much that he voted steadily
with the Democrats on the preliminary mo-
tons, as well as on the passage of the joint
resolution itself. No attempt at filibustering

In HIS SPEECH in the Senate on Friday,
Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, commented
upon remark of Senator Wilson that the
advocacy oil equal rights had been unpopular
everywhere throughout the country and had
cost the Republican party many votes. He
said that if that party were to abandon the
cause of equal rights, it would lose all its
votes, because the people would no longer
have a motive for sustaining it,nor would it
be worth sustaining. Therefore the advoca-
cy of equal rights, instead of being a source
Of weakness to the party was really the
source of all its strength.

Our Principles.

The tBanner ot'the South" bids farewell
to the Old Year with pride in much gooo
work, under many drawback and Difficult
ties. accomplished, and givA warm welcome
to the New Year, with confidence in its
strength to do the new work which the fu
ture brings. Its friends are more numer.

ing. The sympathies ofthe South are ours,
because ours are the principles for which
the Souh struggled-for which she now suf-
fers-for which she still, now and always,
is aeady to suffer; and fqE which, some day,
far or nearer than men imagine, she may
marshal her forces and march-under flags
like the old fags-with bravery like the
old bravery-leading men as proud to wear
the grey again as the dead are proud to
sleep in ito victory and to independence.
"Our Banner" has never been lowered an
inch since the day its folds were lifted for
Mother Church end Fatherland. We plant
ed it on the very heights of Faith and Prn-
ciple-and it floats to day where it floated
then, and it shall be found floating fearless
ly there SO aong as we are its staff No
compromise of princple-no concession of
Right have yet marred its folds. Had we
listened to the warnings of some who falter
we would have faltered too But those
who have rallied around US can bear wit
ness that deep and deepening love for our
past, and strong and strengthening trust in
our future and in God, have characterized
the columns of the Banner. At the first
we took an advanced position-we arc to
be found there today. There is uot o word
We would take back-saye to make the
words still stronger for the yht and a.
gainst the Wrong. And hence, the "Ban !
ner Of the South has been welcomed every |
where. The circle of it's influence is widen |
ing; and as it stood firm in the year now
gone, and faithful to our people, though it
cannot be more faithful, it yet shall be more
firm in the year which now begins.
To the interests ofour holy Church, too,
have We devoted much time and labor; and
the Catholics of the South have thus dou-
BILE sympathy in our journal; first, because
it defends their Church, and because it de-
fends their native and adopted land. We
believe that glorious field is opened for
our Church in our dcsolate South ; and our
Journal in that field has % work to do. So
We are ready for the New Years werk. 1t
will be hard and toilsome-it will often
weary our brain and strain our feeble
strength but no matter; cost what it may,
We are ready-for nor health, nor strength,
1or time, nor toll, can compare with the
grand causes which we advocate; and so,
,nce more, in the opening of the New Year,
ending happy greetings to all friends we
lave, and to all that yet shall come, with
he same devotion and confidence as ever
We re-pledge the Banner Of the South to
Iother Church and to Fatherland. Banner

Pride.

IT'S curious fact as ever was known
But often in human nature shown,
Alike IN castle and cottage
That pride, like pigs of a certain brood,
will manage to live and thrive on food
AS poor as pauper's pottage.
Of all the notable things on earth,
The querest things the pride of birth
Among our "ferce democracy
A bridge across hundred years,
Without prop to save it from sneers,
Not even couple Of rotten piers
A thing for laughter, filings, and jeers-
Is American aristocracy.
Depend upon it, my snobbish friend,
Your family thread you can't ascend
Without good reason to apprehend
You may find it waxed at the other end
By some plebian vocation;
Or, worse than that, your boasted line
May end in loop of stronger twine.
That plagued some worthy relation.
Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't be naughty and put on airs,
With insolent pride Of station;
Don't be proud, and turn up your nose
At poorer people in palmer clothes:
But learn, for the sake of your nj md s repose
THAT all proud flesh, wherever II grows,
Is subject to irritation. JOHN G. SAKE.

obey is applied to the woman rather than
the man, yet the man should ever recollect,
that as, in forensic courts, especially courts
of equity, the plaintiff must appear with
what is called 'clean hands" in other words
have fully done his part and duty, so before
the husband can have any rigR to command,
or the wifvbe under obligation to obey, he
must remember the test Of his love and sin
cerity, which is given in Holy~ ~Scriptures,
viz. : "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ
loved the Church." but how did Christ
prove His love for the Church BY dying
for it. When love, of which this is the
model, predominates in the husbands heart,
he can require no obedience. from his wife
but what she will ever feel tito her honor,
privilege, and delight to render.
