THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Convention through the last
week, although with much wrang.
ling and some flibustering, has been
going on with the Constitution,
which is about completed, as we arc
told. 1t is impossible for us at pre-
sent to say what are its provisions
The suffrage question was disposed
of on Wednesday. the Sd, by adopt.
ing the following, offered by Jack
Hamilton of Travis.
RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.
Sec. /. Every male citizen of the
United States Of the age Of twenty
one years and upward, not laboring
under the disabilities named in this
Constitution, without distinction of
race, color, or former condition, who
shall be resident of this State at
the time of the adoption Of this Con
stitution, or no shall thereafter re-
side in this State ono year and in
the county in which he offers to
vote sixty days next preceding any
election, shall be entitled to vote for
all off crs that are now or that
hereafter may be elected by the peo-
pie, and upon all questions submit
ted to tho electors at amy election.
Provided, that no person shall be
allowed to vote or hold Office who
is now or hereafter may be disquali-
fed therctrom by the Constitution
of the United States, until such dis
qualification shall be removed by
the Congress of the United States.
Provided further, that no person
while kept in any asylum, or con-
fined in prison, or, who has been con-
victed of felony, or who is Of I'M
sound mind, shall be allowed to

This is universal suffrage SO far
as the present Constitution Of the
United States admits. 1t was car
ried by a vote Of 30 to 26. On yes
terday, o Declaration, offered by
Mr.. Mccormick, was adopted with
some amendment, referring the Con-
stitution to the action of the people
on the first Monday of July next.
At the same time, an election will
be held for State, District and coun-
ty officers, members of the Legisla-
ture and members of Congress. 1t

De- During the counting Of the vote for
President and Vice President in the House
of Representatives on the 10th inst, there
was great deal of confusion and inter-
ruption, caused principally by Gen. Butler.
The following are the kilograms
At l o'clock, Senators arm in arm
came to the House. Wade took the
chair; Colfax seated near him: Sem
ator Conkling, representatives Will
son, of Iowa, and Pruygn, acting as
tellers. Pruyn read Democratic
votes, Conkling and Wilson alter
mated, reading Republican. All
went smoothly on until Louisiana
was reached, when Mullins, of Ten
ncssce, objected, declaring that no
valid election was held. Joint ses-
sion separated. House voted 126 to
SO to count Louisiana i'm the Senate.
After q severe struggle to draw in
extraneous matters. 1t was voted to
count Louisiana. Houses again met
and proceeded with the count, until
Georgia was reached, when Butler
objected, because Georgia college
had not voted on the proper day,
and for other reasons. Much con-
fusion ensued, which Wade ended
by ordering the Senate to its own
chamber. House then voted 15O to
Al for Georgia not TO be counted in
the Senate. After a most perplex-
ing and Imaginable struggle, it was
declared that in the face Of con-
current resolution concerning Geor-
gia's objection in Joint session out
Oforder. Houses again met. Joint
session in absolute conflict. Wade
ordered Georgia TO be read rs direc-
ted by concurrent resolution. But
Ter objected. Wade moved to hear
no objection.
Butler appealed from Wade's de-
eision. Wade would allow no re
peal Of the appeal and ordered the
court to proceed.
Batter moved that the Senate

H6- We give in another column brief
summary of the proceedings of the Edito-
rial Convention, held at Houston on the Sd
inst, together with the address of the
Committee on organization, &c.
Il was with extreme regret that we were
unable to attend this meeting, for we be-
lieve, with the committee, that there are
many subjects which such a body might
take into consideration. Ills evident now,
that the meeting in June will be a success.
Coming, as it does, ut the same time that
that Grand Lodge Of Masons meet, there
can and most probably will be large at
tendance,-every p per in the State can
be represented, and we hope that such will
be the case.
For one we promise, il life and health
last, We will he on hand.

The Fourteenth AmendInen I
AND THE CONGRESS oE THE UNlTEl



CorretpnnJcn % ofthr Courier Journal
. WASHINGTON, Jan. H., 1869.
A bill was introduced in the
House day before yesterday, by
Mr.. Boutwell,, to enforce the provi-
yions of the 18th amendment to the
Constitution, tho first section of
which contcrs the right Of suffrage
on all persons without distinction
of race or color or former condition
cfslavcry. The second dcnounccs
IL penalty against officers of election
who shall refuse to take the vote OF
any person to whom the right to
vote is given by the first section
The third section Furnishes by fine
or imprisonment all persons who,
after the passage of the act, shall
continue to hold or exercise the fnnc-
lions of any Office in violation ofthc
third section of the 18th amendment.
The bill was referred without de-
bate to the committee on Judiciary,
whore it will doubtless remain till
the adjournment of Congress. With
cut the Bird section the bill might
pass this Congress. There is a
strong desire among leading Repub-
licans to pass some act comforting
the right of suffrage on tho negro,
and m equally strong desire to re-
licve all disabilities imposed by the
18th amendment. Judge Bingham
favors removing the disabilities of
all who apply for their removal. Sen
ator Ferry, of Connecticut, favors
THE removal of all disabilities, and
introdurcdia bill in tho Senate to
that eff, Ct several days ago. Banks,
Logan, Garfield, Schcnck, Butler,
Washburne, Wilson, Colfax, and
most of the leading members of the
House, and almost the entire Senate,
say that for the present Congress
should be governed by the merits of
each paticular case, and this is the
rule that will doubtless govern
both houses of the present Congress.
Tho next Congress will for a while
be governed by the same rule. but.
mark me, it will not be six months
after the assembling of the next
Congress till all are relieved. 1t
has lsalssl cut in the last few days
that Grant Evors this policy, and
it ia gaining ground every day.
Gen. Burbridge wrote a letter to a
friend in Kentucky, a few days ago,
in which he takes strong ground in
favor of universal amnesty.

The Dallas Herald is ably advo-
eating the construction of u bridge
across the Trinity at that place
funds to be raised in the main by
county taxation-which we think
a good plan. Falls and McLennan
have readily voted to tax themselves
to build Railroad. The people of
Dallas county will certainly not hest
at the small tax necessary TO build
a bridge, in these go-ahead times.
