The Flick Amendment.

The House yesterday ordered TO en-
grossment the Joint Resolution proposed
by Mr.. FLICK, amending the Constitu
tion SO as to enfranchise all male citizens
of the State, not paupers, minors, insane
or convicted of crime. By reference tc
our report, it will be seen that several
Democrats supported this amendment
in preference to the substitute
offered by Mr.. DAVIS for enfrau'
chising white citizens only, on the
ground that TIE Fifteenth Amend
ment being a fixed fact, the FLICK
amendment wonld as effectually enfrau'
chise our disfrauchised white citizens q:
that of Mr.. DAVIS. The substitute Of Mr
STURGIss, leaving the matter of rebel
suffrage at the control Of two-thirds OF
the Legislature, represented the extreme
Radical view, and it will be seen that
a number of Republicans united with
the Democrats in voting it down. OuI
information is that the House Will
adopt the FLICK proposition by a large
majority. 1t was also stated positively
las. night that the Radicals in the Sen,
ate would reject it. Although we
had intended its discussion, and the
presentation of such practical sugges,
tiops as might be pertinent to the ques,
ton, the prospects of its success do not
appear at this time to warrant an ar
gument of the case.

The Radicals in Illinois have been
piucking that State to a-shameful and
enormous extent. The appropriations
of 1867 were 81, ,s59, ,72377, and the cost
of the Legislature S276,l79, while in
1869 the appropriations amounted to
SO, ,365 ,257.2l, and the cost of the Legis-
lature to S370,000. In this manner
neatly six millions were abstracted
from the treasury in six years. Besides
these items, the Secretary or the State
extracted $4,000 from the pockets of
the people in one year, the Ad-
iutaut General, sS7 900, and the public
printing cost $500, O,93O.89. This is a fair
sample of Radical robbery, and the same
practice prevails wherever they are in
power. Mr.. DAWES recently demon.
strated the manner in which money is
expended at Washington, and the same
stream of corruption runs through all
the States ruled by Radical officials.
The people complain of hard times and
high taxes. When will they apply the
remedy by casting forth from power
those who produce and perpetuate both ]

The Flick Amend meut

The following is House Joint Resolu-
ton No. s, proposing an amendment to
the Constitution of this State:
Resolved by the Legislature Of Vest Vr-
giaid:
The following is proposed as an
amendment to the Constitution of this
State. to be substituted for section / OF
Article III thereof, and to become part
of the said Constitution, when ratified
according to the provisions thereof,
namely:
"The male citizens of the State shall
be entitled to vote at all elections held
within the election districts in which
they respectively reside; but no person
who is minor, or of unsound mind, or
pauper, or who is under conviction of
treason, felony, or bribery in an elec-
ton, or who has not been o resident of
thi3 State for one year, aud of the coun-
ty IN which he offers to vote for thirty
days next preceding such offer, shall be
permitted to vote while such disability
continues
The substitute of Mr.. DAVIS simply
inserted the word "white" before the
word "male," in the first line of the
above.

A PLAN looking TO the establishment
of the independence of Canada will
shortly be presented to the Dominion
Parliament. 1t is not annexation, but
a scheme to we'd Canada to the States
by means of Zollverein. At the pres
ent time British North America is in a
very disjoiuted condition. Nova Scotia,
Newfoundland, Prince Edwards Island,
British Columbia and the Red
River country all wish to "go
it alone" while in other portions of
the country the people exhibit signs OF
discomfort with tine existing order OF
things. As it is quite evident the Home
government will engage actively in a
canvas against the scheme proposed,
the people will have fair opportunity
ofexprss.iug their views upon subject
SO vital to the progress and we'll being

have at heart the reputation and highest
interest of the State. That defects IN lts
first organization have been steadily
remedied; its character and standard
elevated; a corps of able instructors,
each particularly accomplished in his
own speciality, collected; and amid all
the strange popularity of temperament
prejudice, party and sect, continued In
unanimous and efficient cooperation,
will be best appreciated by those VINO
know how hard the task, and how rare.
ly id has been successfully accomplished
in such Institutions when founded by
the State. 1t should further be remem'
bered that all this has been so far done
with exceedingly inadequate facilities
and means, and that not only the youth
but the people of the State have to be ed
ucated to just comprehension OF the I'M,
portance and value Of such work, and
that yet the work is going on without a
false step in any important particular
having been made. =.
But if there are no serious defects, IL
does not follow that there is by any
means entire completeness. This can
beaffirmed by no Institution on this
continent. nor in the world. 1t is
point which may always be approxims-
ted, but never reached. What we
claim for our University is that, con-
sidering the time, means and facilities
which it has had, it has surpassed all
expectation, aud vindicated Its just
claim to the largest confidence and lib.
erality. We have watched it closely,
and say this after careful examination.
The same good Judgment on the part OF
its administration, and the same iloer-
atty on thepart of its friends, is all that
is wanting to push it on to perfection.
The more closely its workings, under all
circumstances, are looked into by any
one, the more satisfied he will be ofthis
fact. Fire the "West Virginia Univer-
sity."
Ia conclusion let me assure you that
those in charge of the University have
labored hard to deserve success; that
they have been cheered by the cordial
and unsolicited commendation, without
regard to sect or party, of very many
within and without our State; that in
its present condition they cannot be-
lieve the Legislature will take one step
backward, but that they do believe
should the writer of the above article
do them the honor of looking in upon
their work even he will be surprised
and delighted at what is here going on.
Very respectfully, yours,
ALEX. MARTIN.

Slightly in Error.

The MtelIigencer of yesterday misses
its mark badly when in speaking of the
argument of Mr.. DAVIS on the legality
of the Fifteenth Amendment, it says:
The central idea of Mr. Davis argu-
ment was that Congress was not legal
body or its acts valid when 1t passed
the Fifteenth Amendment. because some
of the States were not represented. Mr..
Pierpoint said if this were true, Con-
gress was not a legal body when it ad-
mitted West Virginia as a State, Tor
even more States were unrepresented
then than when it proposed the amend
ment. 1t followed that there was no
such thing as the State of West Virginia;
yet Mr.. Davis had accepted seat IN this
Legislature, drawn his pay from the
treasury, and had scarcely thirty days
ago stepped up to the clerks desk of the
House and sworn to support the Con-
stitution of the State Of West Virginia,
when, according to his declaration, no
such Constitution or State existed.
Now, if the editor of tnat paper had
done Mr.. DAVIS the honor to hear his
reply to Mr.. PIERPoINT, he would have
found the boot on the other leg. Mr.
DAVIS showed, in one of the clearest ar
guments ever delivered in the House
that there was a broad distinction
between Congress from which
members are withdrawn by tht
States, and a Congress from
which Senators and Representative
ase excluded by the main strength
of numerical majority. A Congress
such as the former helped make Wes
Virginia, but a Congress of the latter
description proposed the Fifteenth
Amendment. He showed that the very
section of the Constitution which pro-
vides for its amendment, declares thai
no State without its consent can be de-
prived of its equal representation IN
the Senate, thus implying that
valid amendment cannot be pro
posed by a Congress in the Sea
ate of which States are deprived O
their representation without their con
sent. Mr.. DAVIS proved Mr.. PIERPoINT
not himself, to be guilty of inconstancy
in swearing to support the Constitution
of West Virginia. Mr.. PrRRPoINT'.
party had declared by sheir reconstruc
ton acts that the Government of Vir
ginis, which formed West Virginia, wa
not legal Government, and as the act
of an unlawful authority are void al
initio and cannot be made valid, upoI
the theory of Mr. PRRPoINT's party th'
State of West Virginia which he swor'
to support had no legal existance. Th,
ex-Governors flank was completed.
turned, as his mis-quotation of the re
4 construction laws in an attempt at clear
ing up his case clearly proved.

1t is with the deepest sadness that we
announce the death of Mr.. SAMUEL
HARPER, of this city. A better, kinder
or more honorable man we never knew.
He stood among the first of our business
men by reason of his high intelligence,
pure integrity, and great energy OF
character. His many social qualities
endeared him to the hearts of au ex-
tended circle of intimate friends, and
his genial and popular manners won
for him the esteem of all who Knew
him. He has been cut down in the very
prime of life aud usefulness and his
death is the community's loss.
