The FDIrteenth Amendment.

On the 2TrA day of February, 1869, the Con-
gress of the United States passed a joint resolu-
ton, proposing for the consideration of the
different States of the Union an amendment to
the Constitution, which,, when ratified by two
thirds of their mum Der, was to be valid as part
of that instrument. The amendment reads as
follows
Art XIV, Sec. l. The right of citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States, or by any State, on account of
race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Sec. ?. Congress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation.
On the Both of March last, President Grant
issued his proclamation announcing the ratiica-
ton of the amendment by the requisite two
thirds of the States. This document, like most
Of those emanating from Grant, is brief, to the
point, and worthy of the occasion. The Presi-
dent Justly characterizes the ratification of this
constitutional amendment as q measure of grander
importance than any ono of the kind since the
foundation of the American Republic, and urges
upon Congress to do all in its power to encourage
popular education throughout the country, on
the principle that all who possess equal rights,
politically, should have an opportunity to acquire
the knowledge to fit them for a share in the
Government, SO as to make the constitutional
amendment a blessing, and not a disaster. The
reading of the proclamation in the House OF
Representatives was received with applause from
the floor and galleries.
Nebraska was the last State to ratify, making
thirty, more than the requisite two-thirds.
The following is the list, as certified to by Hamil-

GIN. WEBB AND The CCBANs.-In a late letter TO
the ". Y. Tribune, from Havana. Gen. Webb,
former Minister u Brazil, expresses himself as de-
cidedly in favor of according belligerent rights TO
the Cabans. and be ventures the opinion that if
President Grant and Secretary Fish had been
aware Of all the particulars in the case, they would
have been willing to award those rights over six
months since. He says the Cnbans have some 20
600 well armed troops. and as many carrying pixies.
scythes. &c. and that if some 100000 stands of
arms could be landed, Cubans would be found TO
carry them, and the result would be Havana would
fall in a fortnight. A volunteer ofscer in the Cuban
interest has remarked that the gunboats built in
the United States were the great hindrauce to the
landing Of troops and arms, and if they were only
out Of the way. Cuban Independence would DE
acbieyed in a short time. We would like to see the
erneriment tried and the subject matter tested by
a temporary withdrawal of all foreign help OF
whatever character.

The Pacific Telegraph.

Now that a company is chartered, and the
preliminary steps taken, we may confidently look
forward TO the speedy accomplishment OF tins
grand enterprise. Since the first Atlantic cable
was made in 1856, great improvements have been
introduced in the manufacture of deep sea cables,
both in point of lightness and durability. as we'll
as in the surprising expedition with which they
can be produced by the manufacturer.
In November, 1858, the United States schooner
Fenin.ore Cooper, Lieutenant Brooks command
ing. arrived here from San Francisco. Ell route
for ,Japan. She was on q surveying cruise, III
search of several reputed shoals in the Pacific,
and took numerous soundings. Lieutenant BROOKS
wa. the inventor of n new style OF sounding
auuaratus. which has since come into general use
in having ocean telegraph cables. In referring
hack 70 our files for the period mentioned, we
End il reported that the greatest depth of water
obtained by the FenimOre Cooper between San
Francisco and these Islands, was three miles, and
the least was two miles, the bottom being invari-
ably q soft ooze, composed of minute shells and
debris. peculiarly favorable for laying a cable.
About midway between the Islands and the coast
is an elevation or gradual rise of one mile above
the he'd of the ocean, which again falls of to
three miles. until within n short distance of this
oroup. The Islands rise very abruptly from deep
water, and appear to be sharp cones. A dia-
gram of the ocean bottom, prepared by Lieutenant
Brooks, gave the general outline somewhat as

The Honolulu Bishopr1c.

From two of our exchanges received the past
week We make the following extracts relating to
the Honolulu Bishopric. The first is from the
as an editorial
From the very first, those who have been behind
the scenes have felt that the Hawaiian Mission has
been a mistake. With a Bishop capable of maintain
ing his proper position in the island, and with other
qualifications than those of a mere schoolmaster,
something might have been done, but DR.. Staley has
shown himself throughout as a model of incompetence.
Enthusiastic clergymen, in the earlier years of the
mission went out with the idea that something very
real was to be accomplished but one after another
came back again as soon as he could get together
funds sufficient for the return journey. There are
now rumOrs of something nearly approaching to u
collapse of the whole thing, but this information,
coming through other than a church medium, turns
out to be not strictly correct. The truth is, that DIR.
Staley has placed his resignation in the hands of the
Archbishop of Canterbury beyond this, nothing is
yet known. 1t is said by our non-conformist con-
temporaries that Bishop Staley has permanently
quilted his See, &c leaving behind him a formidable
schedule of Episcopal fixtures" Whether this phrase
is to be understood in the sense which would natu-
rally be attached to it by a racing man or by a fur
niture broker, we have no means of determining. 1t
is further reported that the Episcopalians of Honolulu
have sent a requisition to the Society for the Propa-
CATION of the Gospel to the effect that they want an
81 Evangelical Clergyman - to take charge of the
mission, and that they have named the man whom
they desire"
The other extract is taken from among the local
news of the Liverpool Mercury of February %
"The Right Rev. DR.. T. N. Staley, who was ap-
pointed Bishop of Honolulu in 1861, has been recalled
in consequence of the congregations wishing to have
an evangelical c~lergymen among them rather than a
high church prelate. The bishopric will, we presume,
be suppressed"

Stand forth, peerless among the nations, free
great, and happy, where all the sons OF Adam
without distinction of race. creed or color, can
dwell together and truly say God hath created
all men free and equal"
The New York Tribune, in an article congratu-
lating the country on the ratification OF the
Fifteenth Amendment, concludes thus A
now for Universal Amnesty Our triumph Is
not perfect so long as one man shall remain dis
franchised and incapable of taking Office because
Of our late convulsion. We have fought Secs
sion ; the Republic has conquered; her triumph

Six States have rejected the amendment, viz. !:

degree to the fact that they have each a large In
