Suffrage Amendment in Con-
gress.

The Suffrage Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States, which has
been the subject of disagreement in Con-
gress for some time past, has at length
been agreed upon by both Houses. 1t
now awaits the ratification of three-fourths
of the States in the Union to become a
part of the Constitution. The amend
ment as passed is as follows
ARTICLE 15 The right of the citizens Of
United ates to vote, shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States, or by any
state, on account Of race, color, or previous
condition OF sevitude.
SECTION The Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by appropriate legisla-
ton.
AS the Legislature sof many of the
States are now in session, the amendment
will doubtless be acted upon before their
adjournment. Some of the Democratic
journals, appear to be grieved at what
they are pleased to call "tinkering with
the Constitution" They want the old
Constitution as it was; they cannot forget
the good old times, when negros were
bought and sold in market, like cattle;
when the breeding of human chattles, In
Virginia and other of the border states,
for the cotton fields and rice swamps of
the South, was highly profitable sort of
democratic commerce. Those halcyon
days, when the slave chattle was forced
to work a lifetime for his Democratic
master, without compensation-hav ing no
ownership Of his earnings; himself and
children the property of another Those
good old times somehow swelled the
Democratic vote, and hence it is, our
Democratic friends are so exercised, when
those olden practices, are wiped out by
the Constitutional amenment.

Raligiors Matters.

The Fond du Lac Commonwealth describes
novel religious proceeding in that city as
follows
Last Friday night after the immense meet
ing at the Congregational church, large
party of ladies and gentlemen, headed by
Rev. DR.. NIsBET, Baptist, Rev. LITTLE, Con-
prepational. and Rev. GRAVES, Evangelist,
visited the Astor Hall Billiard and drinking
saloon, for the purpose of holding prayer
meeting. Tho party coming NDannounceo'
and unexpected, found the tables occupied
It is SAID that on the appearance of the party
some of the Younger players made break
for the back door but afterwards again en-
tered through the front and attentlyeiy list
ened to the good advice OF the CHRISTIANS
The party was courteously received by one
of the proprietors of the saloon, and chairs
being provided for the ladies, the exercises
were opened by the hymn Come to jesus
PRAYERS and remarks were afterwards offered
and made by all the ministers present, ana
others. and the proceedings were conducted
and listened to in the most decorous manner.
The Dodgeville Chronicle says revival meet
ings in that village continue.
In Mineral Point the Methodist church has
been enriched by some one hundred and fifty
members, other churches by perhaps sixty,
and numbers, though converts, are still una
ffiiated.
At Darlington Green Co. Wis. the most re-
markable interest is manifested. The churches
there unite in the work, and it is said. unde
their Joint efforts, some two hundred have
professed conversion, including people ofall
classes, ages and conditions.
The Fond du Lac papers say the renewed
interest in religious affairs continues unabat-
ed in the different churches of that city.
The Oconmowoc Badger reports series OF
successful religious meetings at Monterey,
with some forty or fifty hopeful conversions.
The N. Y. Observer reported during last
year four hundred and seventy-four dedica-
tions of church buildings, of which the Meth
odist had one hundred and twenty the Bap-
lists and Presbyterians one hundred each, and
the Congregationalists slxty-fve.
movement is on foot among the Baptists
of New York city,to establish Home for the
aged and destitute members of theirchurches.
A meeting of ladies was called the other day
which was attended by one huddred and fifty
ladies, although the day was inclement. A
jealous and effective spirit was manifested,
that gave assurance of success.

Inauguration Day.

To-day, Thursday, March 4th, witnesses
the inauguration of the new administN-
ton under Gen Grant To-day, the pres
ent Congress, ceases to exist, and the
Forty-frst Congress will Immediately as
semble The new Congress, will not con-
tain as many Republican members as the
one which has just expired. Some prom
inent Republicans express the belief, that
the lessened majority, will not prove det-
rimental, but tend to the exercise o. more
vigilance. When the party is too strong
there may be less disposition to watch1ul-
ness, and less sense of personal respon-
sibility.
The new Congress commences a new
era in national legislation. Most OF the
issues which have been prominently be-
fore the country, are disposed of and set
tied. Reconstruction has passed int his
tory; it is no longer debateable Quiet
aad order are gradually being restored in
the South, since the election of Gen
Grant; the party passions of the people
of that section are becoming allayed, and
industry and enterprise, are on. the in
crease. Northern immigration is setting
southwark, and the free school element
is being diffused among the people.
Taxation and revenue have in past years
been perplexing questions, and will I'm
questionably command the attention Of
the incoming Congress. Other questions
of prominent Importance, will require
Legislative adjustment. The Republican
party is pledged before the country, to &
system ofrigid economy; it has the power
In its hands 70 redeem its promise, and we
have faith in its integrity and purpose
to vindicate its professions. The party
must take the responsibility; it cannot
evade it, nor will it seek so to do The
next four years, under the reign Of peace
should make quite an advancement in the
substantial interests of the country
With the right of all, to pursue whatever
lawful occupation which best pleases, and
with the recognized equality of all mer
before the law, the country ought to pros
per as never before

New York Election Frauds.

The Committee of Congress; raised to
Investigate the New York election frauds,
have developed some unparalleled rascali-
ties. Some stringent legislation is needed
to guard the purity of the ballot box. If
such wholesale frauds are permitted, the
safety of our free institutions is endanger-
ed, and elections by the people will be
a mere farce. The recommendations OF
the Committee for the enactment OF addl-
tionl legislation, doubtless came too late
for action by the present Congress, but
will unquestionably receive attention here
after The following facts were proven
before the Committee, on the testimony Of
many unimpeachable witnesses.
Thousands of aliens fraudulently pro
cured certificates of naturalization, during
the few weeks Immediately preceding
the election.
Hundreds of certificates wore granted
in the name of fictitious persons, that
those holding them might have facilities
for voting many times.
Hundreds holding those certificates did
thus vote many times-rarging from twice
to forty times The frauds committed in
counting the votes, were usually equal to
those in casting them
There was combination of officers,
judicial and otherwise, to protect those
committing these frauds, and in no one
Instance has any one been punished for
these alleged violations of law.
The facts developed in the examination
of witnesses further show that one Judge
in a single dag issued 2, 100 naturalization
certificates; anotherin one day, issued 955.
One notorious Democratic Judge, from
the 9Th to the 23d of October, issued a
daily average of u.s. These Courts are
proven by the COMMITTEE to have know
inglv and deliberately issued papers to
men who never appeared in Court at all
Not less than 66,348 were issued from two
Courts. Not one fraudulent paper say
the Committee, has thus far been traced
to any Republican, although everyfscility
was afforded and investigation invited.
From the showing of the Committee, it
is clear that the Democratic electors for
President, also the Democratic candidates
for State offices, were elected only bs
the aid of fraudulent voting. The legally
expressed voice of the Empire State, ha;
been defeated and set aside through stu
pendous fraud.

COLLECTOR AND INTERNAL REVENUE -

Revenue Of this district we see it stated
that the Hon. G. NJ Baker, of Walworth
county, has been brought out by hisfriends

the other applicants are, we are not adj

Woman Suffrage.

The Madison Journal says large au-
dience convened in the Assembly Hall on
Friday evening last, to listen to address
SEES from those distinguished advocates of
womans rights: Mrs Cady Stanton, Mrs.
Livermore and Miss Anthony. The floors
and galleries of the Assembly Chamber
were crowded with hearers.
Gov Fairchild was called to preside
over the meeting, Most of the members
of the Legislature were in attendance.
The addresses of the speakers are well
spoken of, but what impression was made
on the audience, in respect to the woman
question at issue, remains to bedeveloped.

MURDER IN LAKE Co. ILL.-Mr. Alvin
Truesdell aged sixty years, residing seven.
teen miles west of Waukegan was brutal
ly murdered last week. Mr.. Truesdell
kept a grocery store, and was engaged in
the business Of buying and selling pro
duce. It is the opinion of the people in
the neighborhood, that the only object of
the murderer was to obtain money. At
last accounts no clue to the perpetrator of
the murder had been obtained.

ARIzoNA-The Territory of Arizona,
has been represented as comparatively
worthless for agricultural purposes. The
New York Tribune, has reliable informa-
ton to the contrary. That paper says
ARIZONA Is slowly and steadily gaining
in population, industry, abnd wealth; with.
in ten years, the Southern Railroad to the
Pacific will make her state, with a pop
ulation of not less than half million.
Recent experience has shown that her
soil has been greatly undervalued-t that it
produces most of the grains and grasses
bounteously, while she has much valuable
timber, and an incalculable wealth in the
precious metals and copper.
