The bill recently introduced by Mr. Stevens, provides for the admission of the States of North Carolina, South Cnrolinn, Georgia and Alnlianm, as soon as the Legis lature's of these' States shall have ratified the amendment to the Constitution, known as the fourteenth article, upon certain con ditions. Among these, it is provided tlmt no State shall ever amend its Constitution so us to prevent any person from voting who is now privileged to vote by their respective Constitutions, except in eases of conviction for crimes. It also provides against any person lieing held to labor ns a punishment, except by officers duly dele gated to execute sentences. In case the day fixed for the meeting of the Legisla ture of any of the States shall have passed by before the present enactment shall be passed, the Legislature may be convened by the President of the Convention which framed the Constitution, within thirty day - after the passage of the Act. The Act is to take effect as soon as the President proclaims the Constitutions of the States ratified. _ 'the NSW*TAX Jill. /.. The new bill, as reported in the House of Representatives, has no radical altera tion upon the old one. The tax of two dollars per gallon on whiskey is retained, notwithstanding the great trouble that has been caused bv the inability id officers to discover how distillers can pay a tax ot two dollars a gallon upon an article which they sell for much less, and yet make money. The tobacco and cigar tax is modified slightly. Some ot the details relating to the income tux are also modi tied. Anew feature of the bill is the erection of an Internal Revenue Bureau, whose head shall be the same as tile heads ot the other departments. The bill ex empts manufacturers from taxation sub stantially in accordance with the law which was passed several weeks ago. The only articles which are continued from the old list are ground coffee, gas, spices, and petroleum. The tax on gas is re duced from 25 cents per 1,000 cubic feet to 10 cents ; and the tax on refined petro leum is retained at 10 cents a gallon. The tax on imitation wines remains substan tially the same, and the bill contains nothing about iron or coal. The bill contains fifteen sections on the subject | of bonded warehouses, and consolidates into one act all existing internal tax bills. * TIIK XA ri7> \A L IXQCEST.

They cannot change themselves into ignorant jurors, nor this into a jury trial. They need not shake their trial oaths at us, and pretend that fliey alone act upon this matter under any solemn responsibility, and that this makes their act sured and infallible, and disables all public opinion to the contrary.

Hasten, auspicious day ! Ot thidk PitKWitK, Democratic journ alists have declared that every Senator would perjure himself who voted to convict Andy Johnson. They have sought to pre judice the case by exciting personal preju dice against the men appointed to manage it. They have coarsely assailed every Sen ator who objected to rulings which they thought would tend to defeat impeachment, or who offered rules which they inspected to tend to conviction. And yet, with these facts patent to the country, these unscroitpulous partisans now set till a whine about what they call an “indecent attempt to influence a court”; about a pressure being brought to bear inside and outside of Congress; about the Radical prejudgment of the case and their desperate endeavor to break down the respect for law. It will prove a futile at tempt they are making to have public opinion silenced in this case of the I’cople against a bad Executive, while all his ad herents have license to prejudge the ease and to defame every mail who i . sie peeted of fidelity to the country. - 4+f Tiik CD khtion Hk.tti.kh.- ll can no longer be a question of doubt as to who will be the Democratic candidate for President.

I have delayed writing one day beyond my usual time, to be able to unravel the painful mystery surrounding the course of certain Senators who voted to acquit Andrew J Jin son. The air is filled with rumors of bargain and corruption, and witnesses will lie sum moned and examined before the mystery can he cleaved away. It so happens that three ol tho rcc remit Senators were among the earliest and most earnest advocates of im peachment. They knew as much of the ease before as since tin taking of testimony. If there ever was a mqes. iiv for the removal of Andrew Johnson that necessity exists today more than ever before. J dare “O' offer a prediction as lo the future, but tiiere is, at least, a possibility that he may he removed on one or more of the Articles yet to be voted upon. Ido not be lieve the current reports that Senators have been paid money; on the contrary it is more likely that several ot them have allowed their hitter hostility to Mr. Wade sway tlieir judg ment. Ho this us it may. it is a matter hardly worth while to speculate about when all the facts are likely to lie known at a very early day. I predicted some w e-.a ago that the impeachment trial would not be brought to a close before the Chicago Convention ifiet, and recent events have vet died this prediction, the hair that Mi .IV ade would exercise undue influence over licit ( 'inven tion if placed in 'lie Wl.it, House, why Mr. Johnson was not convicted 0:1 the Xlili Ai '.ivkb ml; , ’"t ) l , iV' !

Damaging Defense.—Tho journal which gave the shrewd judgment that there were about a dozen Republican Senators who would rather see Johnson in the White House than lien. Wade, and which ex horted them to act upon this noble motive, and to take the decision of the case into tlieir own hands, is now making the motions of a defense of these Senators against any imputations upon their motives, or any popular censure upon tlieir action.

Cincinnati Co zed,;. Bohemia. It is lime that the word “Bo hemian,' as used to designate certain mem bers ol the literary and artistic world, should be discontinued. It was copied from the French, but so awkwardly copied that all the joke—originally ol \, ry poor quality—has been iost in the proc'ss. The smaller Iry of writers and artists in l’.tris, often of wander ing find irregiil ir habits, got tho nickname of “Bohemians" Bohemian being French sos Gipsey. Iho word was caught by some English writers who, proh-ihiy, did not know that Bohemian ands >ip-ey were synonymous, and those writers, again, are now imitated in using the nickname by others, who go still ftirthi r, and speak ol eert lin classes of literary and artistic people, in tho aggregate, as constituting “Bohemia.” Thus I have lately seen, in writings not intended to ho joeoxo, the phrases “literature ol Bohemia,” "Bohemian art. Now the ancient kingdom ol Bohemia .lie- and not lent’ comparison with any other European State in all that relates to literature and science; and xve offer an insult to her authors and professors, many of whom are conversant with English, and rend our hooks,when we.apply the term ‘Bohemian’ to that which is low in tone and character. An educated Bohemian cannot feel hurt at meeting tho term '‘Bohemian” as used in French works ; for ho is aware of the word being, in that language, simply the equiva lent ot “Gipsey,’’ .and lie knows, too, that the French never employ it to signify a real native ol Bohemia.— heller to the London Athcnec.nm.

Schuyler Colfax was born at a house in North Monroe street, near West liroadway, in the City ofNew York, March 23, 1823. His mother is but sixteen years his senior. He received a good common school education ; was bred a printer, and settled in Indiana in 1830. He soon became foreman and assist ant editor of the village paper of South Bend. It was then a very small sheet, such as every Western settlement issues, as a sort of flyer to a job printing business as soon as it has got its school house, grocery, hotel, nnd black smith shop, and begins to think about having a meeting house. The “typo” out AVcat frequently gets liie start of the preacher, though the race is clos*. Those who saw Colfax then “«t the case” describe him as a light, spindling, flaxen haired, boyish look ing youth—clever rather in the Yankee than the English sense—with a delicacy ol tem perament which suggested a doubt whether lie Imd the stamina to live lo manhood, without the faintest suggestion that in his mature years he would be Speaker of the House, and the second choice of the country lor President. The news then came to South Bend, by stage, from Detroit, or up the St. Jo river from the Lake. There was but little of it, and though Mr. Colfax became the editor and publisher of the South Bend Register, ns soon as lie became of age, other and subsequent evidences were required to establish his claim to intellectual superiority. In 1 8 Is he was a delegate to and Secretary of the Whig National Convention. In 1850 he was a member of the Indiana Constitu tional Convention. In 1852 lie was again Secretary of the AVliig National Convention, lie was elected to the Thirty Fourth Con- gress, and has been regularly re-elected to every subsequent Congiv.-: lie was elected Speaker of the Thirty Eighth Congress, and has been re-elected Speaker of the Thirty Ninth and Fortieth, lie was urged, hut he declined to accept a seat in the United States Senate, preferring his presiding chair in the House. His open, pleasant face,hn» become familiar to large audiences throughout the country, who have listened to his addresses upon political topics, upon the late President Lincoln—by whom lie was warmly loved—- upon bis tour across the continent to the Pacific, or upon subjects connected with the work of the Sanitary and Christian Commis sions. lie is pure in bis personal and moral habits, has a broad, outspoken, and catholic sympathy with every good work of reform, whether political, moral, intellectual, or religious, and has the warm and enthusias tic confidence of cliristiaijs and temperance reformers throughout the country. lie attends, and we believe is a member of the Reformed Dutch Church, and is a thorough teciotalist. AVithout being educated as a scholar, industrious reading has given him much of what is valuable in scholarship unalloyed by its pedantry, its clannishness, or its egotism. AVithout being bred a law yer, practical familiarity with legislation has taught him all that is most valuable iu law, freed from the conservatism and in aptitude for change and reform which rest like an incubus on so many of those minds which arc bred by the habits of the legal profession to look for precedents which show what the law has been, rather than to broad principles which settle what the law ought to he. Act Mr. Colfax has frequently shown the happiest familiarity with prece dents, especially in questions of parliamen tary practice. Asa presiding officer he is tho most popular tha House lias had since Henry Clay. His marvellous quickness of thought, and talent for the rapid administra .iv... v.r uciano, cnuoies mm to hold the reins of the House of Representatives, even in its most boistvous and turbulent moods (and with the exception of the New York Board of Brokers, the British House of Com mons, or a Fair at Donnyhrook, it is the most uproarious body in the world), with as much case and grace as Mr. Conner would show the paces of Dexter in Central Park, or as Gottschalk would thread the keys of a piano, in a dreamy maze of fault less, quivering melody. As an orator, Mr. Colfax is not argumentative, except as clear statement and sound judgment are convinc ing. He rides no erratic hobbies. lie de mands few policies which the average sens* • f intelligent men cannot be made to assent to on a clear statement of his position. Ib is eminently representative. A glance at his broad, well balanced, practical brain, indicates that his leading faculty is the sum of all the faculties -judgment—and that what lie believes the majority of tbe people either believe or can be made to believe. Some men may be further ahead of the age. Mr. Colfax funis sufficient occupation and us- fulness in adapting himself to times and things as they are. without cutting his throat with paradoxes or stealing a march on mankind with some new light, which they are very likely to regard as ;i “will o’- thc-wisp.” Ho has no eccentricities, but great tact, llis ta’cnts are administrate. ■ and executive, rather than deliberative, lie would maka good appointments, and adopt sure policies. He would make a bettor President, or Speaker of the House, than Senator, lie knows men well, estimates them correctly, treats them all fairly and candidly. No man will got through his business with you in fewer minutes, and vet none is more freo from the horrid bnts<jn nexs of busy men. There arc heart and kindness in Mr. Colfax’s politeness. Men leave bis presence with the impression that be is at once an able, honest, and kind man. Political opponents like him person ally, as well as his political friends. Wo have never heard that he has any enemies. The breath of slander has been silent toward his fair, spotless fame. The wile of his youth, after being for a long lime an invalid, sank to her final rest several years ago, leaving him childless. Ills mother and sister preside at his receptions, which for many years have been, not tin most brilliant, but the most popular of any given at the Capital. Socially, Mr, Colfax is frank, lively, jolly. It may be that lie feels bis oats in some degree, but dignity hasn’t spoiled him. The everlasting 1-hood and Us-ness of great men is forgotten in his presence. His manners are not quite so familiar as those of Lincoln, but nearly to. They are gentle, natural, graceful, with a bird like or business like quickness of (bought and motion. But they are very far from the high and mighty style of Sumner, or the judicial coolness ol Fessenden, Sher man, and Trumbull. Though manly, they are genial and winning. American mothers believe in Schuyler Colfax. There are more babies named lor him than for any public man since Cloy. It is a sure test of greatness when mothers are willing to take the name of a public man to the baptismal fount, and sacredly link together that oft repeated name, and that tender, unfledged lile, with holy prayer. They know that, come what will, that name, however tried and tempted, will never disgrace their off spring. What more shall we say of Schuyler Colfax ? The nation honors him. We are willing to believe he will -some day be Pres ident. Whether President or not, bo can afford to be riyht. For Sale. yy If HAT FANS HORSE POWERS, THRASHERS, AND CIRCULAR SAWS. myl—Stewlm R. P.
