After considerablediscussion,tbe amend-ment was disagreed to by yeas 8, nays 32. The amendments of the House were then concurred in. by yeas 25, nays 7—Messrs.

It overrides and absolutely destroys State authority in the matter of suffrage and the elligilibility of persons to hold office. This is done by direct legislation of Congress in the bill. It destroys the present State governments, in 60 far as officials are concerned. It is destructive to the present right of suffrage by vast numbers of citiiens, un-der the Constitution, in giving immediate force and effect to the prohibition in the fifth section, that persons inhibited from holding office by the constitutional amend-ment shall not vote at elections under the " provisional government,'^ so called. It it be held that this diabolic invention of proscriptiveness does not so apply to State officials as to drive them from their offices, it certainly applies to them and to electors in future elections or appointments in States. In a word, Congress has step-lied across State barriers, and given ex-press direction, in form of law, that in all elections in the ten States now excluded from representation in Congress, no man shall hold office or vote who is excluded by the proposed constitutional amend-ment. It is well known that these include the best men in every State. The bill is destructive in its military character, as has been so ably shown by thearticles from The Cincinnati Commer-cial Republican published in The InttUi-oencer yesterday. We quote paragraphs : The third section of the bill leaves till recognition ofthe local courts and author-ities entirely at the discretion of the briga-dier General commanding the district, and makes it his duty, besides suppressing in-surrection, " to protect all persons in their rights of person andproperty" and " to parish all disturbers of the public peace, and criminals/" in other words, he shall have unlimited power, both judicial and executjpre, and absolute jurisdiction over all sorts of causes, both civil and criminal. It he choose to set aside all local govern-ments and courts (as under this law he may,) he and his subordinates will try ev-ery drunken rowdy who should go before a police court, as well as every one charged with theft, burglary, or murder ; they will try. also, every civil cause, from an action in replevin to a divorce, for all " rights of person and property'' they are to protect. The whole elaborate machine-ry of a government, executive and judicial, and, forthat matter legislative also,_isthus concentrated in the hands of the brigadier commanding. Is there not, however, some power of re\ ision or right of repeal ? There surely must at least be some provision for recor-ding and publishing the decrees relative to property, and accounting for the moneys which may pass into his hands. Not a bit of it! There are provisions that uall in-terference by said pretended State govern-ments" shall be void. Whatever is done its anconstitiitionslity in toto f What true statesmen or eminent jurist, anywhere in the broad land, would not so declare. The bill in the opinion of The Inquirer. contains the following points: l6t. The declaration that the Southern States have no legal governments; and that such governments as exist here, shall be permitted merely during pleasure, and only as provisional, and i-hall be abolished, modified, controlled, or Bopeniedi d, in the discretion of Congress. 2d. Said States are at once placed un-der military rule, their governments sub ordinated to martial law, and superseded or controlled in the discretion of com-manders ot Departments, military eonv missions authorized for tho trial of such persons as these commanders may choose to arrest, and all interference of the State authority for the protection of citizens, de-clared null and void. 3d. During the permitted continuance of the present State organizations, no per-son shall be eligible to any offices under them, who comes under thc proscriptions of the Constitutional aniindmenl. That is to say, no one who had ever held an office State or Federal, which r. <j i: A him to take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, and afterwards took the Southern side in thu late war, either by active participation or by giving aid and comfort. 4th. Further, during the permitted con-tinuance of the present State organisa-tions, the elective franchise is so controll-ed and modified, that all qualification* for suffrage are abolished, i xcept twenty i ■••■ years for age, one year for residence, and male for sex ; while all those are proscrib-ed as above stated, from holding office. So much for the condition of tho Stat**, under their provisional governments. The following is the way of escape into a p i-manent, establisment : 5th. If any State- shall form a t .institu-tion through a Convention elected by a suffrage and under the restrictions above provided,—and it said Constitution by a like vote be ratified, and shaU make s; ii suffrage the permanent law of the Statt, and if said Constitution after submission to Congress, shall be approved by i;—and if a legislature elected under said Consti-tution, shall ratify the Constitutional Amendment, then said State shall be de-clared entitled to representation in Con-gress, and the military rule shall cease therein. Such is the scheme. Diabolas could n< it have contrived one more utterly unwise, unjustifiable, inhuman and tyranical. It is useless to argue against stub unbridled passion as alone could have suggi sted and adopted it. "Ho who spits against the wind, spits in his own face.' The funda-mental proposition of the whole, is that which denies the existence and integrity of our State organizations. Our defence lies in traversing this pi sition. Our only mode of making this defence is by an appeal to governments largely i '. this crop.

A case must be made up ; and we suppose it may be speedily done under the 3d ol the above recited points, on the question of eligibility to office, It will he contend-ed by the hungerers and tlihrsters that the proscription will displace those liable tn it, who are now in office. An order For eject-ment, or an application to prohibit it. will get the quistion before the courts. If it be held that our State governments are valid,and according to the Constitution, then all the attempts to alter our suffrage, and to dictate qualifications for State offiot. will be pronounced void. We must bring to judicial test also the right oi Congress to pass martial law, and tosubordinati the civil to the military in these States, in a tune of profound peace, publicly prot It This is all that we can do;—but this it is our duty to do, and the Legislature should make suitable provision. We must be calm and patient, but we owe it to our- S'lves, and to our children, and we owe il to the cause of Constitutional liberty, lo exhaust every civil resource to which wo mandant's discretion. He is not bound to report his decision to "any one, but may-sit, as Saint Louis, of France, used to, un-der a tree bv the roadside and administer primitive justice to whoever comes, with or without " money or price." The whole property of a State will be at his discre-tion, and if he becomes rich, he may say. as Warren Hastings did of his wealth amassed in India, that he is amazed that he did not become richer, since all the treasures of the country w ere at his feet. The utmost protection for property is the discretion of any boy with the com-mission of second lieutenant who may be sent with a squad ofmen into any country. In estimating the probable usefulness of anv effort to"appeal either to the Presi-dent orGeneral Grant, or to any tribunal or body whatever, we must not forget that the terrors of a military commission are before the eyes of any one who may make such effort, and the attempt itself maybe i made a crime for which he must suffer.— The bill says " cruel and unusual punish-ments" shall not be inflicted, as if that would protect any one without definition of what shall be regarded cruel or unusual for a military commission, or providing for some appeal which the accused may not make in vain. The guillotines of France did not drip with blood becaule the acts passed by the National Assem-bly were cruel in their terms, but because they established imtpontUtU tribunals but none, not tor one and work for all ? There is a field of labor for every man, whatever his order of capaci-ty ;—there is a field of usefulness for ev-ry man, whatever his degree of wealth.— Here lies the true strength of the South. Bone and sinew, thew and in iselc, still are iclt. There are thoughtful heads and brawny arms; men to lead and thousands to follow in the paths that tiny sh dl point OBt; and, if the South be unable to heip herself politically, she can help In rself in tho vast arena of personal and general prosperity. Let the Southern people but depend on themselves. Let them but work as though they had not a friend in the uni-verse, and DO one to trust but tho Al-mighty Dispenser of ail tiood; and for-tune, iu a greater or lessor degree, must return to them, and will have a far more important, though passive power, in com-peliing justice to be accorded them thau ■ny nete theoretical display, or patient waiting, with folded hands, for what may never turn up. Iii patient and persistent labor is our beat refuge; and, when the South is once more on the toad to pro-perily, she may be assured that she will meet with that consideration and rectitude which she can- Hot now obtain. Nations are disposed to kick the fallen nation, as men will kick the fallen man ; and, when the Northern hotheads find that the South has determ-ined to do her best with what she has and so compel success, they will lmt hesitate to give her that share i*i the government of the country to which we are constitu-tionally entitled, but which we are now denied. • A NEWACT IXTIIK DRAMA.— Tin Phil-addphia Bulletin says: " Mr. Stevens has prepared, and will re-port in a day or two, an elaborate i unite n scheme for the South, w. ich he will support in a carefully prepared spccrfi." Of course he will. I* wouldn't beTfaad. Stevens if he should do anything else. Ii isn't enough to give negroes the ballot and deny it to white nun. but coiili'iation must follow.
