Taicsnos-iT mcit bi tiuit.xii-ucK TUESDAY MORNINO, JfOVEMBKU 7. Ttnn-iiMiini ritisciri.i: OF Till: ih;tiK:HC. Alter what hi bfo !J ia two pretiou nunten, on thia ubjecl, wo art prepared to introduce the Upic of the Constitutional Amendment, cocatitatiag tho aatiect of the Journal' fiuewtioD, and !o that other amendment proposed bj the editor of the Jocrcal or Governor iloaiox; we do oot kriow which, as we belief e each gre the credit of it to the other, which amendment ia, or ought to be entitled "aa amendment to deprire the Southern States of their representation io CoDresi till they make their negroes Toteri." In the Xew England State they used to hare, and indeed baTe cow, aome rery arbitrary lawa porernlcg the actions of "American citizens of Karopeaa descent." It teems that they do not now allow a man to get shared on the Lord's day commonly called Sunday, the first day of tht week, or the Sibb&th day. These IN'ew England laws are historically known aa the "Blue Lawa of Connecticut," as the prohibitory liquor law is known historically as the "Maine Law," from the State, or TroTince of Maine, aitaate ia the northeast corner of New England, io which State, this prohibitory law oriinateJ Now theae Blue Lawa are rery odious and oppressire upon oar white fellow-citizens of Karo peaa descent. J3ut aa the States severally, in which thej eiist, had a right to adopt then, that ia. if States hare any right left them, we do not think it would be just oa the part cf the majority of the States In the Union, they not liking "Blue Laws," to force a constitutional amendment upon the New England Slates abolishing those "Blue Lawa" and prohibiting the passage of any more, for the reason that those laws are local concerns of those States, and it would be bad faith, would tw uaiog the power of constitutional amend ment, in violation of the spirit of the Conetitu tiou itself, and would produce trouble, to force auch an amendment upon then; and for alike among other reasons, the Democracy were gene rally opposed ti adopting the amendment to the Constitution of the United SStatea, abrogating an institution local to a number of those States, believiog it was injudicious to appear further to encroach upon the Souia at the time, by forciag upon her an alteration of the Constitution uaaer which she had uuitod in forcing tbeori ginal Union ot the Sutes, edpecnUy as it was claimed, a was uoderaluod, by Wiuso, Sum Mia, and other Republicans, that from the man tier the amendment waa framed, it gave power to Uoogresj, when adopted, tj make the Irecviojen ciliaeua and voters iu all the States of tue Cuiou to wbieh tad migbt emigrate. The Democrats did not vote agint the dunging of the vene rable Constitution aigneJ oy the father of hi country because they Uvored blaverv. 1 he Democrats were opposed to the iustuutioo, as they were to the Blue Lawa of New IkugUnd Uut tUey telt tbit it was "not for taem to meddie with oiher puop'e'd business; they dislike this prac;ice of picking at and annoying neighbors iu their particular atTaini. The Democratic party respects other . poodle's rights, even though they dill er Irom them in opinion, and feel that, if such people's affairs and domestic regulations are wrong, it is better t j let them right themelvas, thati to put in ttieir intermeddling. Great lir itain paid her colonists for their slaves when she et them tree. Ua the l.ke grouud of doing eren-haxided justice, of acting openly, fairly and frankly with our sister Stales, instead of resorting to indirect, feinster, fraudulent trick, niiagled with indirect force, to involve them in trouble, the Democracy are opposed to the fujther mutilation of that Constitution signed by WASiiixerox, by changing the apportionment of Representatives in Congress so as to base it upon voters inrtead of people, thus by a as we call it sneaking method, though we admit we dislike to ue such an expresston, forcing the South to admit negroes to be voters, or be mainly disfranchised iu the National Congress. We think representatives in Congress represent the people. Dot simply the voters iu a Stale. We think the women and minors and non voting foreigners, the colored people, and all other classes in Indiana, are represented in Congress by the members from the State, though they are elected, that is, in the eye of the law, we speak cot of the fact, by the white males over 21 years of age. If, then, the members of Congress represent the people of the State, and, not the voters, the number of members from the several Statej onght to be apportioned according to people, not according to voters, because the power of declaring voters in each State rests with the several States, not with Congress. Relatively to each other, a members of the Union, the States, to bold their just degree of power, most be disss J by people; but in their domestic spheres they have a right to say who shall elect generally the representatives for their respective peoples. Now, look at the proposition of Gov. Moeto.h lie admits, we presume, that free negroes are people; but he esys they ought not, any ruore than women and children, to be given the right of suffrage; and yet proposes, at the same time, that if the Sjulh does not confer upon them the rights of auftrage, she ah all be deprived of onehalf her representatives in Congress. Is this statesmanship; is this keeping good faith with tne South, and acting jutlv toward her? Is this a frank, open, ingenuous course of dealing? And here we propose to indicate the positions occupied by the Democratic and Republican parlies on the question of negro suffrage. It is true, that it mty seem foolish to discuss the question of suffrage at all until it is settled that the right of suffrage is worth something to a white man who may happeu to differ with the Ad raidstration; but, in anticipation that a better time may be coming in the premises, we proceed. The Republican party, that is a majority of it, is bow against negro suffrage, admitting it would lead, in attempting a joint administration oi whites and negroes, of this Government, to a civil war of , races; but they rty, they are fof giving the negroes the right of becoming partners with the whites in the Administration by and by, when the negroes become elevated from 'he enjoyment of their freedom. The Democrats, on theothcr band, seem generally to hold tint the negroes should never be t&kea into partnership ia the administration of our Government that the Government should iorcvet remain the Government of the white man. They bold this doctrine: 1, Because experience has shown, in the Wet India Islands, in Canada, and in the free State of the North that the free Lt'gro deteriorates, re cedes towards bat barman, by the enjoyment of freedom; and, that, thcrefore.be never will I improved to the suffrage height, and it idle to make him discontented by holding out to hint a hope never tote rallied.

Jiliax poke in Lafajet'e last week, presenting bis peculiar views upon the present condition of public affairs. lie is in fa vor of hanging all prominent rebels, conceiting the property of all who wert engaged in this rebellion, and dividing it among the soldiers. freedmen, and others; giving the negroes in the Southern States the right of suffrage, but withholding it from the Uaeks of Indiana just now, on account of its inexpediency, and opposes President Joimoj's plan of restoring the late insurrectionary States to their former place in the Union. Rut it appears, contrary to the reports spread from this city, that be did not speak in disrespectful terms of either the TreiJent or His Excellenay, Governor Mortom. Commenting upon these Utements,the Lafayette Jouraaj remarks: "There ia not one word of truth in tne state ment that Mr. Julian denounced Governor Morton and President Johnson. He spoke in the moat respectful manner of both thoe gentlemen, and from the beginning to the end of his remarks he did not utter a word of denunciation of either. He opposed, as a matter of course, the theories of reconstruction held by tho-e two pentlemen, but his opposition was confined to argument and facts, and was entirely devoid of "denunciation." Either the person who sent that di-pitch uttered what he knew to be fal.-e, or not knowing whit Mr. Julian did say he assumed wbat was not Use in Lis .dispatch. Tbia the coarse, however, that puffers and p&rasitf take tu buy the favors of prominent men. The preheat instance is unusually precnant with falochood. Oa Thursday night, in the same place, Major Mace and Col. Wood, formerly of Lafayette, but now a citizen of Chattanooga, delivered themselves of speeches, both having acted here tofore with the "Union" party, in antagonism to the views expressed by Mr. J ilia. They were opposed to aegro suffrage, to any commingling of the races, again? t the confiscation of the pro perty of rebels, and any extreme punishment of the rebel leaders, on account of its expedieney. Major Macs remarked: "If the South wanted to come back and build up their Stated with our?, with a union of hearts and a union of hands, we should sav amen." 0 Col. Wood said, in the course of his speech: "It is unmanly when a perooa is down, and cries enongh, to boll him down. He would let him up, and if his enemy was really a good fel low would take a drink with him. Some parts of the South were not so bad. Tennessee had given 5UXH) men to the Union army. Yet you will crowd on her what you won t endure in In diana. Indiana in this was a Pharisee. You call Tennewee a "State down yonder." What right have ou to legislate for TeoDesete? Mr Jlliax may try this on but the people will not eodnre it. He won't carry twenty congressional districts west of the Hudson river. He can't carry any votes outside the Burnt D.strict if he can that. If he went South with his proposition the Southern masters would carry everjthing." On Saturday night last Col. JiiiuWiuox waa to address the people, giving his views, which are said to be different from those who had preceded him. And last night, the great Republican Mogul, Governor Morton, was to fire bis big gun, in re?ponde to Julian, we suppose. From all theso Indications it will be safe to draw the conclusion that the Republican leaders are in considerable of a qumdary in regird to the questions which are now forcing themselves upon the attention of the country. uuisfi'Tio of tiii; c:uuiii;."cv Aii:it iTioxi; v . The invention of piper money Las been followed by infinite evils to community. It has also been followed by some benelijial effects, though not over-balanciug its evils. One of the many vices, and perhaps, the greite.it, of a paper cur rency is, the facility with which it enables the Government to a.uine to ieit, or to place in the hands of a fe capitalists who may act in con cert in the premises, the control of the volume of currency in circulation from time to time, and to create expansions and contractions almost at their will and pleasure whereby a favored class are able to continually make money by the fluc tuations at the expense of the balance of the . . i i t community. It is not convenient, niruiy possi ble, to practice this wickedness with a specie currency. Paper money is also a most facile instrument of fraud, and tempter to corruption. This is no new idea. Pur uttered the sentiment of his day when he wrote: ' Blest papr cred.l, largt?t, beut upply, Tb at leu J corruption ligator wiugs tu llj ." But we have got paper money, plenty of it, and almost no other, and it U very uncertain when we shall have any other; and the control of its issues, which are issues of life and death to the people, is in the bands of the Executive of the United States, through his Secretary, and the bankers of the United States, and we can't help ourselves, since the counteracting power of State banks has been 6tricken down by the central administration. We are, and must remain, like the mouse ia the air-pump now blown up like a bladder, and now reduced by the letting off of wind to a very flabby, mean-looking condition. We have lately been blown up like a bladder, and are so ytt, but Mr. McCi lloi w.ii says, and the New York Chamber of Commerce says, and Mr. LaxiKu says, the foreign bond holders pay, we must be reduced now by the letting off pro ceos, and, of course, it is of no use for us to say anything. We may be permitted to express to the excellent Secretary the hope that he will let the windout slowy. 1 1 .vi i:. it o o u k i 111 1 .x'i i: or rut: ic i:i i it i.i ca i'Ait rv. 1.

We notice that several prominent Republican journal feels to disposition to follow the lead of the Indianapolis Journal. They are unwilling to be parties to any deception in regard to the status of the Republican party upon the Hue of negro suffrage and kindred topics, and are detfrmiued they shall be stated fairly and unequivocally.

The following letter ha been addressed by Commissioner Rollins to au Assessor of Internal Revenue: Treaslet Department, J OrncE or Internal Revenie, v Washington, Oct. l?GÖ.) Sir. Your letter of October Ith, with one inclosure iu relation to furniture, has been received. In answer, I have to say that the manufiictcrer is lib!e to a duty of six per cent, on the entire value of all furniture, (including mattresses, feather bedding, bureaus, tables, W4h jtand:, chairs, etc ,) he makes, when the pamc is sold, or removed for sale, use or delivery. When he burr articles of furniture on which the duty has been paid, and more completely finishes and fits them them for use or sale, by upholstering, piintiog, varnishing, oiling, etc., he is liable to a duty of six per ceut. on the increased value only thereof. No deduction can be allowed on the sale of marble-top furniture for the cost of the marble tops, though the duty may have been paid thereon. When a piece of carving becomes a part of an article furniture oa which no duty has been paid, its vaule cannot be deducted irom the value of ?ucb articles of furniture, though the duty may hove breu paid on the piece of carving. The increase of value given an article by finishing is the price at which it is sold; less the cot of the original article before finishing. For example: A cabinet maker buys a bureau, on which the duty has been paid, for twenty dollars, painta, varnishes', or otherwise more completely finishes it, and sells it for thirty dolIrrs. The increased value of this bureau is ten dollars When a manufacturer buys an article on which the duty has been paid, and sells them in the same condition they were in when bought, he is not required to return them as manufactures; but when such sales exceed one thousand dollars per annum he is liable to a dealer's license. 1 believe all the questions raised in the letters inclosed bv yours are answered above.

Inheriting a great fortune, he increased it largely by marriage, and from his professian at the bar, had an income ot fifty thousand dollars a year, and receired a single fee of fifty thousand dollars upon a claim on real estate in the lower part of the city.
