WAsHINGToN, April la.-Many
new amendments" to the Constjtu-

They are nearly all so many stubs to

her claim the power, by simple act
of Congress, to authorize the EXecu-
tive to send Federal troops into the
StGte5 at pleasure, with or without re-
quests of any Ofthe branches of State
Government, the former mas thought
proper to offer constitutional amend
ment granting authority to that ef-
feet. This is transparent rilSe. The
amendment proposed in the House
by Mr.. BardettP, of Missouri, has a
'tWo-fOld object: The Hrst Is to prepare
the public mind for interference di-
rectly BIZ Congress with the public
schools in the-several States, so Us to
compel them to be made common to
blacks and whites; and the second is
to initiate by indirectiOn an assault
upon the Catholics as a distinct body
of Christians. N the latter phase is
included purpose to enlist and
continue that portion of the
public press, which, under
color of nndeflnable and innumera-
bic metaphysical isms, all tend to
scepticism, and the utter overthrow of
all religion, as well as all morality.
The Deists and Atheists and corrHp-
tiOnists who now govern the country
have, somehow or other, come to the
conclusion that the Catholics, especial
ly stand in their way! Hence this
embryo attack. The article proposed
reads as follows:
Section l. No State or municipal
corporation within any State of the
United States shall levy or collect any
tag for the support or aid of any sec
tartan, denOminational, or religious
school, or educational establishment.
Nor shall the Legislature of any State,
or the corporate aNthOrities of any
municipality within any State, apprO-
pirate any money or make any dOna-
ton from the public funds or property
Of slch State or municipality for the
support or aid Of any sectarian, relig-
ious or denominatlonal school, or edu-
cational establishment.
Sec. 2. The Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by appro-
