FRIDAY MORNING, OCV0BK& 26, 186*1
The Con«tttutional Amendment*.
In view of the factthal the Radical party lore
carried the late elodfiona by an increased popu
lar rote, and that their majority in Con grew in
not likely to be overcome by the November elec
tion*. l< behove* the people of the South and
their Lcgfetoturcs. who will bn called on to de
cide an the forms offend for their restoration to
their right* in tire lid on. calmly, dtspatrioriate
-Iy, fttid without prejudice, to consider those con.
tilt ions. They an contained id the following
prcpoeed amendment* to the Federal
lion, which we have published before, but which
are of *amuch import to nor future fete, that
they ««ght to have been kept more prominently
before the people:
Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the
Conatitution of the United State*.
Be it enacted by the Senate and Jinnee of Rep
reeentttiieee of the United State) of America in
OnpeW aexmltlej, (two-third* of both House*
concurring), That the following article be pro
|>|wed.to the Ix-gidntuiesof the several .State* as
an amendment to tiie Conutitutiotipf the United
Stale*, which, when ratified by three fourth* of
said Legislatures, sliall be valid a* part of the
(Constitution, name y;
•Aatme XlV,—Seonoa 1. All person* bom
,or naturalised in the United State* and subject
,lo the jurisdiction thereof are citizen* of tiic Uni
.led Stale* ami of tho State wherein they reside.
No State shall make nr enforce any law which
•haJl.fcbridga the privileged or immunities ofeit
iron* «f the United Stater, nor shall any State
deprive any person of life, liberty or property,
. without due process of law, nor deny to any per
son within the jurirdic.ion the equal protection
of 1t,,-law*.
•Bae.it Representative* shall he apportioned
among the several State* according to their re
spective numbers, counting the whole number of
. persons in each State, excluding Indians not tax'
, ed. Hut when the right to vote at any election
: for the choice of elector, for President and Vico
i President of the United States, representatives
, lit Congress, the executive r ml judicial officer* of
„ a State, or the members of the Legislator* there
. of, la denied to any of the male inhabit ants of
. such Stale, being twenty-one year* of age and
. citixen* of the United -States, or in anyway
abridged, except sot participation in rebellion or
other crime, the basis of representation therein
.shall Ire reduced in proportion which the number
of such male citixsns shall bear to the whole
number of male citixen* twenty-one year# of age
4 in such State.
Hsu. g. No person shall he a senator or repre
, aentative in emigres*, or elector of president and
ivicc president, or lurid any office, civil or milita
ry, under the United Huts*, or under any Statu,
. who, having previously taken an oath, as a mem
her of Congress, or as an officer of the United
States, or as a member of any State legislature,
or as an executive or judicial officer of any Stale,
to support tire constitution of the United Stales,
» -ahall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion
agaiust the same, or given aid and comfort to the
MtoMfeie* thereof. Hut Congress may, by a Vote
HPfctbirdsof each house, remove such diwibil
V«*c. 4. Tire validity of the public debt of tire
. United States, authorised by law,including debt*
, incurred for payment of pensions anil bounties
for services in supprewing Innarrection and rebel
lion, shall not be questioned. But neither the
United States nor any State shall assume or pay
any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insur
rection or rebellion against the United States,
or any claim for the lost or emancipation of any
slave; but all such debits obligations or claims
what) be hM illegal and vooJ.
Bxo 8. The Congress shall have power to en
force, by apfoopriule legislation, the provisions of
this article.
Southern States' Conventions and Legislatures
have settled the point* contained in the first and
fourth of the section* above. By the actiou of
those legialative txalle* all parsons are equal be
fore the law, and the Confederate debt has been
repudiated. To these conditions the faith of the
Southern people haa been pledged through their
chosen representatives, and then (mints are
therefore beyond tire pale of discussion. If there
is anything dishonorable in the acceptance of
these terms, the dishonor haa been already in
curred.
'Ore propoaltion in the third section may nlso
bo considered settled' By lira operation of the
“test oath" now in force and likely to remain so
until superceded by the adoption of the amend,
incuts, not only are the persons belonging to the
clawes specified in the third section, excluded
from office, but vastly many more. This strikes
at none hut those who have heretofore led or
misled tho people—it lsavea the great masses
of tire people untouched. It says to those lead
ers—You may not hold office until your disabil
ity is removed by Congress, at ill you may vote
aud you may guide parties to elect men of your
way ol thinking, provided they Itnve violated no
oath of fidelity to tire United States, but you
shall not occupy tho positions you have hereto,
fore held, you sliall mnko way for new men—
the** new men may be • -rebels" but they shall
not be those who have heretofore taken the oath
of office. When this amendment becomes part
of the Constitution the test oatb must be repeal
oil or moditlt-d in accordance with it and the dis
abilities will be removed front thousands who
are non incapacitated from holding offieo by tho
operation of the test oath.
These sections of the amendment propose
nothing that we hare not already suffered or sub
■uittodto, but the second section proposes an en.
tire and novel change in the mode of apportion
ing representatives to Congress. Heretofore
representation ha* been based on population, now
it is proposed that it shall hereafter be based im
. tire voting population. In other words, if a per
son Is not permitted to vote, he shall not be rep
resented, This is the clause of the amendments
which is generally asserted to impose on os ne
gro-suffrage; sock supposition is an error. The
power of prescribing the qualifications of voter*
will Mill remain, without interference by Con
grot*, in the people of the State* represented by
tiiulr Legislatures, if they say that none but
white men shall vote, so it shall be : if, for the
take of increased poa-er in Congress, they say
the negro shall rote, to that shall be. For our
selves, we thank *t the part of wisdom and con
ducivato the pertly of (he ballot box that auf
frage should be more restricted than at present,
rather than more extended, and are suggest that
those who hare been clamoring to loudly that
tfcisi* vwhite man's government."h* T e a chance,
uodar this amendment, to marie it what it never
Was before, a "white amn's government” purely.
Heretofore every gentleman who went to Con
gress t row Georgia or any uther Southern State,
ha* represented, not opiy the wlutee in his dis
trict, but three put of every five of live negroes.
A foreigner, judging of our instil utiuna.Vould
hardly be abi* to tee much difference between
negro suffrage and negro represeoUthut
But we did not propose to discuss these
snicodrosmts; we intended only to lay them again
before our reader* as a matter in which they
were vitally interested,, and of which too liule
was known. They are tbe ultimatum of a ma
jority of Congress—of the moderate Republicans,
not of the okra Radicals of tbe Srxvaas-NumUa*
school, an j they were- passed against the vote*
and influence of the ultra*. Reject them and we
discourage'be moderate men from standing b,
their |owo work, to whose sup]>ort they are
pledged, and encourage the ultras who, we haye
no doubt, would be glad to lrnve them rejected
by every Legislature North and South, to perse
vere to a triumphant end in tbeir policy of con
fiscation and (leatnretirti The propoeed terms
ruay appear hard, but we must auffev them, w*
suffer worse. •
Another consideration we merely bint at.—

as it it they cannot be diatinginHra from bun

tho appellation of Mr. or Mr*., the only demo

Born RoaiixaT.—Some rascals not paving the
fear of tbe law before their eyes, or much re
spect for the Sabbath or the sanctuary of
broke into the office of B*»bxl Baassrr, E«q., in
tlr* Court House in this town, on last Sunday
ii'ghtflfod stole therefrom Mr. Barnett'* iron
safe. Tire safe, after being taken, was luaded
upon a borrowed wagon and hauled into a pine
thicket sums half a mile from town, where it was
broken open and a email sum of money taken
out and tite valuable paper* scattered. Mr. Bar
nett thinks that h* haa recovered aH tbe papers
of consequence. The robbery was not discover
ed until late on the next day, Mr. Barnett being
absent from town, and the safe was found aoou
after.
Our town seems to Ire advancing in the fine
arts, among which thievery it now numbered
and by the time we get an opera house, we may
hope to rival Atlanta or Augusta.
Kedgotion or Fseioiits. —The freight on cot
ton by the Georgia Railroad to Augusta has been
much reduced by a recent order of tho Huperiu
temlent. From tire depots of Union Point, Craw
fordville. Washington, Raytown and Mayfield,
the freight on cuttonls now forty.five ceuts for
100 pounds. We hope this reduction will tend
to bring to (he Georgia Railroad much cotton,
which, on account of high freights, has hitherto
gone to market by wagon or boat.
BT We publish a communication on tho sub-!
ject us Relief and the Stay Law* in another col
umn. We have not cared to discus* the subject
hitherto. The reason fur our silence has been
that we kuow certainly that the at

sweeping kind, and a» rve are pretty nearly even
with the world, we don’t <;«« to sayameh on tbe
subject of repudiation till -we to
get into debt some. After the hrrilr passed, wc
don’t suppose any body will enough to
credit any body else for the v-Un,. of a peck oi
corn, and it ia no more than lair I hat the poor
fellows who are out of debt should have an even
start with those who are in debt.

Mi-sper.—Mr. Echols, of Calhoun, was brutal
ly murdered the other night, by some persons
who, it seeius had just stole a hor-e ami hud been
charged with the deed.by an old man residing
not tor from town, The thief ia re-passing the
house at night bailed, intending to kill tho old
man, hut instead of the old man, Mr. F.cho!s came
to tbe door, and was immediately shot through
the head. Tbe unfortunate man instantly ex
pired, and hi* murderer, on the stolen horse,
made bia escape.
From all accounts, it see ins to have been a most
brutal affair, aud was rendered doubly painful by
resulting in the death of a worthy man vlro

only on the information they receive from the
South, but likewfee on the testimony given by

may further add that uo #ueh 'political blunder
was ever committed by any at- tcsinau who had
the reatoratiou of tho Union at heart, as com
peliingthe Sodth to repudiate their debt, and
eepecinUy this foreign debt of £2,ICo;oGO, for
which cotton was hypothecated.
Ihe result hue been to retard tin* return of

in A Rurope. They required, and still require mon
ey for the ouluvutioft of their rotate*, to enable
them to grow more cotton, tobacco and sugar, and
repair their railways. They offered any term#,
but that fatal worA, repudiation, nlthough forced
on them, has beet* the stumbling block of their
obtaining a ehilling.
The committee believe that this fatal word, so
