TIE discussion OH the FLICK amend

at noon. Mr.. DAVIS proposition TO insert
"whitc" was rejected, Of course. II only
seems strange tllat II should have received
asingIc vote, seeing that it would he over
ridden, and annuued by the 18th iAlnend'
1heht about three years before II would be
Incorporated in the Constitution Mr..
SrURuIss then proposed the idea, first atl'
vanccd, we believe, by Maj. CYRUS NEW
I.IN, in the Monroe Republican, about nine
months ago, that the suffrage he let out at
retail to the disabled rebels, by the Legls'
lature, II twO-thiEG vote Of both Houses
being requisite in each case. This pro,
position did not meet with much ia
vor, there being but IA votes in favor
Of il. There was disposition TO do IL
little dOlging ON Mr.. DAVE substitute.
Some Democrats who wanted the original
amendment to plRs'Aidn't want to ,leleat
it by putting in "white," and at the same
time didn't want to go on the record us
voting against exclusively white suffrage,
Some Republicans who wamcd to sec the
original amendment defeated wanted to
see the "wllite" put IN for that purpose, but
didn't want 10 put themselves on the re-
cord as voting for IT. The Democrats di'
vldcd on it pretty equally Tho amend
ment MS originally offered was then or
lercd to cngrossmcnt and third reading
The indications now are that il will paSs

QulrE striking difference was dGvcl-
oped OIL the Democratic side yesterday, in
the House of Delegates. Mr.. LAMB, and
Mr.. SAITH ofKanawha, renewed the posi-
ton taken by them in the campaign of
1860, when the latter was II candidate for
Governor, viz: that the amendment made
to the State Constitution in May 1866, Ind
not been legally made, was nullity, and
that the enforcement Of It was unlawful.
On the other hand Mr.. BRANNOS, ono Of
the ablest Democrats in the House, argued
that the amendment was n part Of the or.
ganic law, and must he respected and en-.
forced rs such tiIl repealed In the consli-
tutlonal mode.

THE Senate joint resolution proposing
that all malc citizens over 81 be invested
with suffrage, was considered yesterday
in tint body, and was amended by strik-
ing out "malc," SO as to give the ballot to
ail persons over 81, male and female,
white, black, and rebel. In this shape it
was passed to engrossmcnt and third
reading. This is quite a victory for our
gallant friend, the Senator from Pocahon-
tas, providing this Is bona tide, which We
take leave to doubt. There is no proba.
bility that the House will agree to female
suffrage, and this resolution proposing It
seems to bc calculated only TO pave the
way for n disagreement with the House,

Tint very unuslal inducements had been
held out 10 some Of the members Of the

marty who offered the bribc. Moreover,
If the patronage Of the United States Is 10
be used in this way, to control the Lcgis-
lation Of tlih State, the authorities ut
Washington ought tobe made aware ofthe
fact. We don't object To seeing the
Charleston lobby employ every legit;;

latIon. five are not mistaken the prof:

The offence Of bribery, b; u .,grIve

is any probability of truth in tho re.

that they be looked into. If members

Desperate Fight Between Crow and

CHICAGO, Feb. 90.

CHICAGO, FcD. 20,
A letter from Fort sully says Little
Swan, Sioux, arrived at Cheyenne
Agency OH the 14th inst. He gives the
particulars of desperate fight between
300 Sioux and Crow Indians, In the early
part Of January, above the mouth Of the
Yellowstone, on the Missouri River. 1t
appears that o party Of 90 Crows came on
foot TO steal horses from tho Sioux, and
met two young Sioux, one Of whom was
killed and the ptherwOunded. The wound;
cd ono managed 70 escape and alarmed
the Sioux village. The warriors mounted
their horses and hurried 10 point where
the Crows had fortified themselves on
Hart Butte, with loose stone, dGtylng the
Sioux, who charged several times llnsuc.
cesslully, losing five killed. The last at
tack was made near sundown under the
chief Spotted Eagle, who waS killed. The
Sioux managed to Overpower the Crows,
every one OF whom was killed In n hAnd
to hand encounter. Tho Sioux lost twelve
Killed on the ground, and five died tho
next day. Many more were dangerously
wounded. ..1iu ..
