FuDllc Library ana Reading Rooms.
Can we not have Public Library
and Reading Rooms in this county,
so centrally situated and easily access.
ible as to attract and retain the atten-
ton and interest of casual readers as
well as of habitual students, and
which will, by their extent and intrin-
sic value, supply a want long felt?
We have the means, liberality and
yublic spirit necessary to accomplish
the object. However, these means
can only be made available where
there is absolute certainty that the
money and material contributed will
do good, and not be wasted and
squandered on inadequate institutions.
Hence, the library and reading rooms
must be in a public and convenient
place; not stuck second or third floor
in some out-or the-way place. They
must be free to everybody, and not
limited to an association or sect, but
belong essentially to the public
Let the subject be agitated by our
people and the press, each one con-
tributing ideas and suggestions, and
thus the best plan of action may be

to rescue politics from the scum and
filth OF SO many long years of con-
tention, din and villainy, they need
not be surprised, if in the end, they
forfeit the good opinion, respect, and
even love Of man.
You may point to science, litera-
ture, art, &C., as examples of wo-
mans purifying power, but that is
nothing to the point, as neither OF
them is in any particular analogous
to politics.
We might bring up a logical obiec-
tion to this argument that it is argu-
ing in a circle. Politics or the bal
lot is to better the condition OF
woman, and she in return is to make
it better-an utter impossibility. The
Romans would prove the authenticity
of the Scriptures by the infallibility
OF the church, or rice versd; our cor
respondent would claim that woman.

THE AMENDMENT.


Congress has at last got the Suf-
frage Amendment off its hands, and
candor compels US to say that the re-
suit of their deliberation has by no
had been led to expect The form
of words agreed upon 10y the two
Houses Is as follows: "The right
of the citizens of the United States
to vote shall not be denied or abridg-
ed by the United States, or by any
State, on account of race, color, OF
previous condition of seryitude."
Some of those who voted for this
amendment confessed that they gave
it their support on the ground that,
"a half loaf is better than no bread,
but really we fail to see anything in
the amendment to Justify their &C
tien even on this ground. 1t is true
that by the present amendment all
all must be treated alike without re-
gard to color. That is, if an educa-
tional qualification is adopted by
any State it will apply equally to
black and white, and likewise with
regard to a tax-pay ing or property
qualification. But the very fact that
this amendment legalizes these latter
tests is sufficient to render it odious
in the eyes of any true Republican.
II guarantees the black man nothing,
since he can be dis ranchised by 9th
er tests than that of color, while, by
implication, it gives up all classes to
disfranchisement on various pretexts.
However much We would be pleased
to see our Constitution amended Sc
as to secure to every free man his
right to voice in the Government
yet candor compels US to say that il
would have been better If nothing
had been done by the present Con
gress. The fact developed itself
early in the consideration of this sub
ject, that no beneficial action could
be agreed upon. We have no faith
that the amendment in its present
shape can receive the ratification OF
the requisite number of State Legis-
latures.

A CURIOUS and suggestive idea is
found in the fact that during the
year 1868, the ferry boats of New
York city were used by S2,321, ,274
persons, as follows: BY the Long
Island ferries there passed 51,7S7,-
400 persons by the New Jersey
ferries, 26,657, ,S74, and by the Staten
Island ferries, S,s76,00O. One ferry
is stated to have been omitted in the
calculation, and the entire number
of persons, it is estimated, reaches
eighty-fo four millions, giving 115,OO0
passengers passing in and out of
New York city every day in the year.
When to these are added the persons
who make use of the steam and horse
railroads to come into and 60 out OF
the city, it is estimated that l60, 900
are driven out of New York to reside
in the country, on account of high
rents and other inconvenlences.
