One of the saddest cases of suicide we
have ever been called upon to record was
committed on Monday last, by young
lady of this city, under circumstances OF
the most distressing character IL ap-
pears there was picnic at Delta Grove,
on the banks OF the Rancocas creek, a
short distance above Delanco-a place
that has recently become the resort for
rowdies, blacklegs and courtezans.
Among those present was Miss v,
residing in the northeastern section OF
the city, whose attractive conntenance,
genteel dress, and generally proposes
sing appearance, indicated that she was
not only stranger to the reckless scenes
of conviviality and dissipation which are
constantly occurring at the place, but
that she had been the associate OF the
educated and refined. And such had
been the case. Miss v, at a late
hour in the afternoon, in company with
another lady and gentleman, accepted
an invitation to take short boat trip on
the Rancocas. After proceeding for
some distance, and INDUCING in many

companion that she had lived long
enough, and at once plunged into the
creek, never to be seen alive again. Her
remains we're found floating near Bridge

to that village As she was unknown

THE AMENDMENT Amendment to the
Constitution, now awaiting the ratification Of
the State Legislatures is what the people want


The men of the North want the representation
equalized in all the States. 1t is stated that,
without the passage of the Amendment, it
would only require the votes of q Northern
Copperheads in the House, and in the Sen
ate, to make the assumption of the rebel debt
possible. This would double the National
debt and the National taxes. The Southern
representatives, admitted without conditions
to Congress, would have the disposition to JUS
tify all the acts of the rebellion and insist that
they must make good their promises. There
are Northern Copperhead representatives that
would sustain them. Is there not danger?


The design of the amendment is that voter
in the North shall count as much as voter il
the South About $4,000 voters in the South
are now equal to $1,000 in the North. We
desire to get rid of this inequality. We desire
that such rebels as the Hamptons, Hunters
Rhetts and other nabobs of the South shal
count no more than the humblest voter in tho
North. AS the Constitution now stands, ont
