As the Metropolis is, Just now, ",he
cynosura Of all eycs," whatever, relates
20 the doings 10 that city is full of in
tercst TO the general reader We there.
fore clip from our exchanges the sub.
joined items, and serve them up for the
delecta.ion of our readers:
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
Alter a great deal Of backing and
filing houndering, the negro suffrage
amendment has at last passed buth
Houses in the following form:
Be Il rssa,vsd, DE-, fso-,lird. Of both Rou,,,
eoResrriag, That the following amendment TO
the Constitution OF the United States be sub
mitted 10 the Legislatures Of the several States,
and, when ratified by three-fourths thereof, Il
shall be q part Of said Constitution.
Anr!cLE 10. The right Of the citizens Of the
abridged by the United States, or BY any
State, on account Of race, color, or previous
condition of seryitade.
Sgcuos 4 The Congress shall have power TO
enforce this article BY appropriate legislation.
This differs from the bill as it came
from the Senate by dropping the right
Of the negroes to hold office and omit.
ting religion aud education. We have
strong hopes that this amendment will
not be ratified by three fonrths of the
States. Even Mr. SUMNER and Mr.
BOUTWELL, expressed the opinion that
it cannot be ratified; and their doubts
or despair should encourage the friends
of State rights to make vigorous CD.
position to the amendment in every
stats where there is an inch Of ground
to fight upon.
THE sPEAKERsHIP.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Dawes leaves
Mr.. Blaine al easy race for the Speaker
ship, though his success has for long
time been assured, in our judgment.
MIR. Blaine has good deal OF personal
popularity, aud will probably make an
able presiding officer.
The Democrats propose holding a
caucus, and will make party nomipa.
tons, we suppose. Some think their
best course would be TO vote for some
fair man Of the opposing party. 10
England the Speaker is usually chosen
by common understanding between
the two parties, and the Office is quasi
judicial.
THE DissoLvING CABINET.
The public debt statement for Febru
arg is to be published on the 4th oil
March. On that day the terms Of Office
of Secretaries Nee ulloch, Welles, Brow
ming, Seward, and Postmaster. G eueryI
Randall cease by virtue Of their resig
nation, which is to be presented to Pres.
ideDt johnson on the 3D. instant. Il ID
not known whether Mr. Evarts will re.
sign or not, until his successor is nomi.
mated and confirmed.
DURATION OF THE NEXT CONGRESS
The best informed politicians here
expect that the next Congress will sit
from the 4th of March to the LIST OF
May, if not longer. Moreover. that
with the probable election of Mr.. Blaine
as Speaker there win be no change in
the Offices.
Mr.. Mcpherson. Clerk of the House.
has made roll call for the 4th of March
After excluding the Representatives
from Georgia and Louisiana, and sese.
raj names where seats are contested.
the number loots up 1877 Republicans
aud 62 Democrats, thus giving the Re.
publicans more than two thirds. The
