INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. Is, 1869.
Ed Democrat:
The house of representatives has
accomplished very little the past week
beyond introducing bills and referring
them to appropriate committees. The
discussion on the Colma school bill
took an animated turn and resulted in
the passage Of the bill-the republicans
voting for it and the democrats against
it. When the constitutional amend
ment adopted by congress on the negro
suffrage question, comes before the
house it will, l think, pass, as there are
not more than five or six republicans
who are known to oppose it. This will
be the greatest outrage ever forced up
on an unwilling people. Had the issue
last fall been made on the negro suf-
frage question, there is no doubt but
the legislature of Indiana and all the
states, with few exceptions, would be
largely democratic. If the amendment
could be submitted to the people in
stead Of the general assembly, Indiana
would 90 again st it by 1000 maj ority.

caused the regents to place a homoe-

giving the university s25 600 annually,
of which $4,000 are to be applied to

An English paper says: 1.-The OBJ
ject which Chang and Eng, otherwise
known as the Siamese Twins, had in
view in visiting Ediuburg WAS to obtain
the advice of Prof. Syme as to the
advisabillty OF severing the inter-com-
municating band by which they have
been so long held together. Las: week
Chang and Eng waited on Prof. Syme
at the university. for this purpose.
After a careful examination, Prof. Syme
was strongly of opinion that such an
operation would prove highly danger
Gus to their lives, and accordingly aGv,-
.ed that the operation should not be GER
formed. Sir James Y. Simpson. Bart ,
also entertains the same view, and the
opinions Of the two learned professors
may, we think, be taken as conclusive
evidence on this hitherto debated point.
1t is intended, however, to take the
opinion Of Paris professor on the
subject but doubtless the opinions of
the two northern professors will have
considerable weigh; with the twin
brothers in whatever course they may
ultimately adopt.

THE INFAMOUS AMEND.
MENT

The following is the Infamous, dam.
nable and degrading amendment to the
constitution Of the United States
adopted by the lower house of congress.
and which will probably shortly be
submitted to the legislatures If the va
rious states, for their adoption or re-
lection:
Art-Sec. 1. The right of any cit
iEen Of the United St,tes to vote shall
not be denied or abridged BIZ the United
States or any state By reason of race or
color. CT previous condition Of slavery
of anv citizen or any class Of citizens OF
the United States.
Sec. 2. Congress shall have the pow
er to enforce, By appropriate legislation,
the provisions Of this article.
Il will be seen that the first section
enfranchiscs oil negroes and everything
else that the fanatics call citizens Of the
Un'te1 States. aud by the second Sec
tion. that congress will enforce the
provisions Of the first section. So the
submitting of the amendment TO the
legislatures Of the various states is only
q matter Of form, and whether adopted
or rejected by them will be enforced by
congress.
The question IS not TO be submitted
to the people. but Is to be adopted and
need upon the citizens Of the states
by tbs corrupt and brainless fanatic,
whc disgrace and degrade the halls of
legislation.
From Schuyler Colfax down to the
n.ost illiterate squirt that ever found
his way into a state legislature. they
have first lied to and then misrepre-
seated their constituents; by denying
when addressing them on political
questions that they we're in favor of
segro suffrage. and then by their votes
making it the law of the nation and
the states. We have. however, but
little sympathy for people who will be
deceived by that old lie. because aboli-
ton speeches for the last ten year, have
only been repetition Of it in different
forms, and it is questionable whcth err
the dupe that can be foolet' by it at
this day is capable of exercising the
elective franchise, and whether he has
spirit enough to think himself better
than low, dirty brutal nis ger.
Good bye to white mans govern
ment, and the rights Of the states un-
der the constitution adopted by our
fathers.
Democrats. ask your republican
neighbor if he Is now IN favor of negro
suffrage, and see what kind of lie he
will fix ap for an answer; and, if he
says he is not, then ask him if he would
not again vote for every abolition can.

COLFAx is improving. The drub-
bling which Butler lately gave him
in the house has taken a great deal of
wind and egotism out of him. 4 few
more such punishments might bring
him down to the regions of common
sense, and clip the spread-eagle wings
with which he delights to soar into the
domains of blather. His speech in
reply to the committee which notified
him of his election as vice president,
was only four or five Ines in length.

been the surprise of the committee

II the senate shall conclude to re.
peal the civil-tenure law, and wishes
TO punish Grant for compelling it to ca t
its own dirt. it may get satisfaction
out of him by passing Mr.. Jenckes
civil-service bill or one embodying its
chief idea. The democrats vii! vote
for it. because it is right; and, we're
any other reason needed to influence
the action of democratic congressman
il might be found in the facts that in
the present political situation. the
democracy would lose nothing ty the
passage of the civil-service bill. Down
