Passage OF the Suffrage COnstEtu-
tiOmal Amendments In The Senate.
WASHINGTON. February 9.

WASHINGTON, February 9.
Special to Cincinnati Commercially
After a session of twenty-six hours
in all, the Constitutional Amendment
passed the Senate this afternoon, by
the requisite two thirds majority, the
vote standing 40 to Is. The debate,
for the most part, was more political
than legal; made up, on the one side,
by the old party platitudes, and met
on the other by reproduction OF
ideas which were long ago settled by
the sword. Through all of last night
Senators stood at their posts man.
fully. Some of them, it is true, slept
In their committee-rOOms and on the
lounges of the Senate, but altogether
they stuck to their work as closely as
any body of men could be expected to
do under the circumstances. The
amendment, in its present form, is
altogether different from the simple
one which passed the House.
The judiciary Committee substitu-
ted their amendment for the House
bill, and this in turn was laid aside,
after fourteen or fifteen others had
been rejected, by the substitute which
Mr.. Harlan offered, and which is
DEOdU6T anu HIOIC sweeping III lIS
terms than that which came from the
House. Mr.. Morton succeeded in
having a proposition adopted provid-
ing for an amendment OF the second
clause, first section, second article of
the Constitution, by which each State,
by vote of the people qualified to vote
for representation In Congress, may
elect a number of Electors equal to
the number of Senators and Repre-
sentatives to which the State is en-
titled, who shall have power to pre-
scribe the manner in which such Elee-
tors shall be chosen by the people.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-GOvernor
Holden, of North Carolina, on behalf
of the lOyalists of that State, has tele-
graphed North Carolina Senators to
oppose any bill reducing the Federal
army, which may result In the redue-
ton of the garrison in that State.
Gen. Thos. j. Leslie, Major and
Paymaster of the United States, has
been relieved from active service.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-A very i'm
portant vote was taken tO-day.in the
Committee on Reconstruction, the
proposition being to admit Mississippi
with her present State government,
and with the Constitution formed Tor
it by the last Constitutional Conven-
| ton but voted down by the people.
The vote of the Committee stood: For
the proposition, Bingham, Norris and
| Paine. Against it, Boutwell,, Brooks,
Beck, Beaman and Farnsworth.
