The Amendment Passed.

The Joint resolution proposing to amend The
State Constitution so as to enlarge the suffrage
by recognizing the right of the negro, and by
restoring the right Of the ex-Confederate. t
the exercise Of the elective franchise, was yes.
terday adopted by the Senate by the decided
vote of IS to e. Only three Republicans vo.
ted against it, 1t was adopted by the House
last Thursday, by vote of SO to IS. Thi,
completes the adoption of the measure by the
present Legislature. 1t now goes down to the
people for their consideration pending theecc-
ton Of the next Legislature, before whom it
will come for concurrence or rejection.
As it will be subject of interest and discus
sion, We reproduce it here, for present informa-
ton and future reference. The provision OF
the constitution by which suffrage is now reg
ulated is section /, Of Article III, as follows:
The Dchite male citizens of the State shall
he entitled to vote at all elections held within
the election districts in which they respectively
reside; but no person who is minor, or of
nSound mind, or pauper, or who is under
conviction of treason, felony, or bribery jn an
election or who has not been resident the
State for one year, and of the county ia b. uigh
he offers to vote for thirty days, mex, prcce-
ding such offer, shall be permitted to vote while
such disability continues. No person trho.
since the first day Of June 1861. has gjrsn. or
shall, gre voluntary aid or assistance 10 the
rebellion against the United States. shalt be a
citizen Of this State, or be dllo,7c9 to rote at
any election therein, unless he has volunteered
into the military or H1ral service Of the United
States and has been, or shall be, honorabiy
discharged hersffom"
The concluding sentence Of the foregoing,
which we have placed in italics, was added to
the original section by the amendment which
took effect May "a, 1866.
This measure proposes in lieu Of the section
as it now stands in the constitution land above
printed, to substitute the original section be-
fore 1t was amended only dropping from it the
word white" TIE effect is to strike out
4" white and the clause added, for the disfran-
chisement Of Coniedcrates, in 1866. The parts
to be stricken out by the amendment now pro-
posed are printed in italics, in the section as
above quoted So that its operation is seen at
glance Wheeling MteLl,qeneer
