The friends of the Treasury will need to
watch to-day, and every day henceforth to the
end of the session, the new grab-game, to be
attempted in behalf of divers and sundry the
different railroads seeking severally the most
diverse and the longest routes across the CONT
nent Finding Congress peremptorily resolved
to give no more subsidies of bonds, they now
ask the Government guaranty on their own
bonds. AS the financial upshot OF the mat
ter seems much the same, we do not
see that the new mode of naming it would
make the payment of the money any easier
for the taxpayers, or the promise to pay it any
better for the National credit. We are now
paying an annual interest of over three mil
lions of dollars on the debt we have already
incurred in building Pacific railways. We are
sure to have one completed before long, ana
with that we must try to be content until
we can little better afford to pay for more
Watch the Railroad Ring, and look out 1or
their scheme to get us to guaranty the pay
ment of their interest!

The House of Representatives on Saturday,
after voting down all the proposed substitutes,
passed the new Constitutional Amendment pre-
cisely as it was reported from the Reconstruc-
ton Committee. 1t reads:
Re n resoIrsd de- uwOthirds OF both Houses concur
ring that the following article be proposed 10 to n h
Constitution OF the United States; which, Wheh Iatieu
by threefourths Of said Legislatures, shall be hed as
part OF the said Constitution, namely
ARTICLE 31.-The right of any citizen OF
fine limited States to vote shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States, or any state,
by reason of race, or color, or previous condl-
ton of slavery of any citizen or class OF citizens
of the United States.
SEC. 9. The Congress shall have power to
enforce by appropriate legislation the pro-
visions of this Article.
The vote on this proposed Amendment
stood-Yeas $50, TALL Republicans j Nays 42'
TALL Democrats but Messrs. Baker Of Ill, Bing-
ham of Ohio, Hawkins Of Tenn, and Polsley
of West Val
The proposition now goes to the Senate,
where it has already been extensively debated,
and where earnest efforts will be made to press
it to an early vote, though The Worlds CORE
spondent says:
The prospect OF its passage in the Senate is cssened
by the prospect that Mr. Garrett Davis is ready win
five days speech against 1t, and Sumner with tnree
DAYS speech for It, II either fills out half the ume the
the swinde fails by lapse OF time"
Mr.. Sumner has no thought of helping his
enemies in the way they predict and, as for
Mr.. G. DAVIS, we trust the Senate can SIT as
long as ne can speak. So we hope for the pas
sage of the Amendment tomorrow at farthest

MI. Masterman were NOT surrendered to Admiral
Davis Internationally, but are sent home as
prisoners for trial. 1t is rule Of international
law that when foreign minister or one Of his
suite is charged with any crime against the
State in which he resides, the Government Of
that State may demand that he be'rccallcd
and put on trial by his own Government, and
in grave public danger, such as a case of con-
spiracy, may even send the suspected person
out of the country by force, This however. is
the utmost that can be done. There are no
circumstances which would have Justified
President Lopez IN Selling and imprisoninc
members of our Legation, and if, rs Mr.. Bliss
intmates, the trial of these two gentlemen
has been exacted as condition Of their
release, Admiral Davis has made a mistake
Their imprisonment was utterly unwarrantable.
and Lopez should have been compelled to set
them free without any conditions whatever
We hope, however, that fair investigation of
this alleged conspiracy will be made. Not only
Bliss and Masterman, but Mr.. Washbum him
self, have been accused of plotting the over
throw or death of President Lopez, and though
hardly anybody outside of Paraguay believes
them guilty, and we dare say few believe 20
even there, yet the honor of our country re-
quires that the charges should be judicialy ex-
amined. ...

Cannot Congressman be persuaded that we
might be better employed trying to take care
of the land we already have than in casting
about for every stray lot that anybody else
wants to get rid of Here is the House For
eign Relations Committee proposing that we
shall step forward, before we are asked, and
declare our willingness to jump at the chance for
taking charge of Hayti. When the Governments
of that Island ask us whether we will have
them, the question may deserve some pretty
serious consideration before an affirmative
answer is given. But until they do ask us, we
insist that it deserves no consideration at all.
AS Mr. Lincoln was wont to say, we have big
enough job on our hands just now without
running over all creation to find other people
in trouble, and inquire what we can do for them.

Altogether the most bewildering piece of
news we have lately had, is the solemn an
nouncement that the lower House of the Illinois
Legislature has voted to cede the City Of
Chicago to Indiana. Thunder out of clear
sky is an everyday occurrence, compared with
performance Of that sort Is some wag in the
telegraph Office, or some graver wag in the
Legislature, playing sorry joke on the
modest Sucker metropolis9 Or has Illinois
reached the condition Of the Irishman who
caught wild cat, and was presently calling on
all his neighbors to "help him let the pesky
ching gO" We ought, perhaps, to tender our
congratulations 10 both States, and yet, before
doing so rash an act. we should like to know
whether Indiana means to proclaim a Thanks
giving or a Fast over the matter.

PROTECTON--IRON.

The Erening Post, with reference to our re-
cent exposure of Mr. Commissioner Wells's
iugglery with the statistics of the American
production of Pig Iron, says:
DAr Wells In HIS recent report proved, by an elabo-
rate collection Of statistics. including essentially all That
Is known on the subject OF the manufacture OF pig iron in
this country that the amount OF iron produced has IN
creased very regularly for long series OF years and mat
the effect OF the successive changes In the duty ON foreign
iron has been shown rather in increasing diminishing
the profits of the furnaces than In stimulating or check
ing The growth OF the industry He showed too. that the
Enormous AMI oppressive duties levied on foreign
iron simply result in giving to the furnaces at the eX-
pense OF the public and series OF years. profits
which have hardly any parallel IN the history OF egti
mate industry"

Gen. sehenck did good work on Saturday
in advertising the country that most of the
lobbyists infesting Congress are simply swinders,
who tileh money from greenhorns by pretend
ing to influence, and even to purchase, the
votes Of Members to whom they dare hardly
speak, and whom they in no manner control.
lie gave notice that those who pay money to
these adventures are markedly swindled out of
it, and ought to recover it back again.
SO far well. Gen. Schenck has been long a
Member, and might be for twenty years longer
without being once approached with corrupt
proposition. But does be not know (morally)
that there are other Members who are not such
