THE following despatch was sent
from Washington 10 the Democratic
members Of the Indiana Legislature
who haveTesigned in order to defeat
the passage Of the Unconstitutional

1t is the highest right Of the people

question Of outrage hes never hereto

OcratIc members of the Legislature,
in order to give the people chance
to determine this great question at
the ballot box for themselves, is an
act OF self sacrificing patriotism, de-
serving the admiration and support
of the whole party.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
At half past twelve the President
sent the Senate the following message:
To 1e Senate ofthe United States. =
Since the nomination and confirma-
tiOn. Of Alexander II. Stewart to the

find that by the 8th section of the act
OF Congress, approved September ID,

'' Be ii further enacted, That no per-
son appointed to any Office instituted
by this act shall be directly or indi.
rectly concerned or interested in car
rying on business nr trade or COM
merce, or owner in whole or pert of
any sea vessel, or purchase by him or
by another in trust for him any pub
lie lands, or other public property, or
be concerned in the purchase or dis
pOsal of any public securities of any
State or of the United States, or take
or gain for negotiating or transacting
any business in the said department
other than what shall be allowed by
law, and If any person shall offend
against any of the prohibitions of this
act, he shall be deemed guilty of high
misdemeanor, and forfeit TO the Uni
lOu SCdtCo the pHHaily OF three 6nOuS-
and dollars, and shall, upon cOnVic-
tian, be removed from Office apd for
ever thereafter be Incapable of hold

provided that any other, and not q
public officer, shall give information
Of any such offense upon which pros
eOutiOn and conviction shall be had,
one-half Of $4,000, when recovered,
shall be for the use of the person Civ
ing such information"
In view of these PROVISIONS, and the
fact that Mr.. Stewart has been unani-
1ously confirmed by the Senate, l
would ask that he be exempted by
joint resolution of the two Houses of
Congress, from the operation of the
same. E r

Tn. Negro Suffrage Amendment.

The negro suffrage amendment tC
the Constitution, which has been pas
sed by the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives, is as follows: -aza--il +
''The right of the citizens of the
United States torvote shall not be de
MED or abridged, by the United States
or by any State on account of race,
color, or previous condition of servi-
tude." r-A ~ s'--
The Cincinnati Gazette Rep.) thus
comments upon the Negro Suffrage
amendment;
'.It has thrown a disturbing ele-
ment into our elections, to stay till
this amendment shall be disposed of,
which may not be for years. It is q
measure which cannot stand the sift-
ing process Of popular discussion /;
which the Radicals who favor man
hood suffrage can not support, and
which all the rest will oppose as q
matter of course. We have no idea a
Legislature can be elected in Ohio to
ratify 1t, and yet 1t must be made the
main issue of the election. The elee-
tion argument would have no weight
with US If the measure were right,
but Ii is not. We have no idea that it
can be ratified by the States that are
in a flt condition to be competent to
act upon an amendment to the Con-
stitution. Congress was in a state Of
mental chaos over this amending, and
il finally came to this result, not be-
canse it thought 1t good, but because
the members thought they ought to
d. something" aa e--1-l
