THE WASHINGTON GAZETTE WtsMayton, Wilke* County, Ga. 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.— 1110** who profess to admire and reaped Preri dent Johnson, should' by every means and by some sacrifices, hasten to have the Sooth repre sented,in Congress, where her votes could help him in bia contest with the Radical*. As it is now, every man In the Sooth might ae well be in Brazil or the Fegee Islands, so far ha hia influence avails in support of the President, Would it not he well for the South to place hcraelf where sire canrendctMo President Johnson substantial aid I Comm PiCKiae m Fasxtrxus.—Before free dom broke out, we used to have published ac counts of marvellous day's work dond in picking cotton; since that cm we have aceu no such pub licationa.

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 it* next session, will pass a law of the most 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.
