Amendment.

At present, the whole population of s State is counted, and Its number of representative* In Congress based upon that population. At present, when direct taxes are apportioned among the States, they are distributed accord-

log to population thus:

By the census of 1860 the population of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island was ascertained to be 1,863,883; and that of Illinois and Missouri, 2,893,963. The assessed wealth of the three States first named is set down at •1,243,490,097; that of the laet two States at •600,143,223. Yet, In the apportionment of taxes, the last two—Illinois and MissouriImposed on them a tar of $1,907,678;

ut stu,

bad imposed on them a tax of $1,907,67 while the three New England States were pi down for only 91.249.7fi6. Tabulating the fad

What does this show? Clearly that In one set of States wealth twice as large os that in

another set of States pays only two-thirds as much tax as the amount levied on the poorer States. In other words It may be stated that a man living in Illinoia or Missoun is taxed on

I $1,000 of property owned by him about i dollars, while* man living in Massachuis taxed on the same amount of nronertv

The Howard Tribune indirectly denounces them. The J ay county Bepublican copies the Tribune. It also says. In speaking-of a tour

of observation :

“ We could find no Republicans in Adams county likely to be led away alter Meredith, KUgors A Co. Into the rank* of the opposition to Congress. All regard the Johnson and Raymond game of immediate headlong reconstruction, without guards or guarantees for the future, as completely played out. Sol. Meredith and his official pap sucking crew will not be able to win a trick, unless they can bribe the copperheads to lend a hand, at Indianapolis, next July. We have yet to find the first man in Jay or Adams counties that can fill the bill of qualifications required at the convention, viz: To have supported Lincoln and Johnson in 1864, and supporting .Johnson and ‘ my policy’ now. They are scarcer than Bell and Everett, or Breckinridge men were in 1860. In fact, we think they are‘nowhere’ in the Eleventh District “As to the Union candidate for Congress, we found General Shank* to be the decided preference of those with whom we conversed

on the subject.” Again, be says:

“ A call haa been published for some time

every three

setts is taxed on the same amount of property only about one dollar. Any one- can easily, with the above figures before bim, make tbe necessary calculation and will find our state-

ment to be correct.

Now,' when representation is based upon population, the South and West, where the negro population is congregated, get an additional number of representatives for these negroes, and when direct taxes are assessed upon population Instead of property, tbe South and W’est pay taxes tor these negroes slso. The Republicsns now propose to amend the Constitution so as to base representation on voters; tbis will diminish the representation of tbe South and West, where the negroes are, in Congress, unless we make the negroes voters; and to force these two sections to do this, Is tho object of the amendment. But if tbe Republicans will agree to add to the amendment a provision basing direct taxes upon wealth, as justice demands should be done, we, for our individual self, are willing to take the amendment and go for It, as sn independent proposition, not as a condition of restoration of the, as we hold, always existing

Union.

We are willing to go for one single amendment which shall base representation on voters, and direct taxes upon wealth, or two amendments embracing one of these propositions in each. We will give our reasons for

this.

Taxes ought to be bated upon wealth; and the revenues of tbe general Government, ought to be derived from wealth, not from poll taxes on tbe Individuals. Now, this can not be done, because, direct taxation upon wealth, being levied upon the States, not according to their wealth, but their population, becomes In effect, poll taxes, upon th* individuals, assessed upon the outrageous system of three dollars ahead upon every wsstsrn man, to on* dollar to every eastern msn. But, 1st the Constitution to be so amended as to assess direct taxes, in reality as well as in name, upon wealth, and then we ahouid be in favor of adopting that mode for raising a large share of tbs general Government revenues every year, all the time. We could then discontinue the tariff entirely upon tea, coffee, spices, fruits, etc., upon every thing, indeed, that we did not raise in this country; could adjust It so as to make duty free all necessaries, and subject every thing to as low duties a* we deemed expedient We could dispense with all personal Internal taxes such as licenses, stamps, etc., of which the poor pay nearly as much as the rich, and make up the deficiency by direct taxes laid In proportion to wealth; and whenever the West and South, whose Interests are one In this matter, should think they had paid high tariff bountie* long enough, in the shap f tariff taxes, to tbe East, the two sections combined could dispense with tbe tariff, as far as their Interests demanded, altogether if they pleased, and raise tbe amount by direct taxation in proportion to wealth; thus placing the burdens of the Government, in just proportion, on New England. It has been asked, why does not the general Government collect her revenues by direct taxstion like the States? The people, It has often been said, would then know and feel the taxes they paid, and would be led to economy and watchfulness In their expenditures. These were true sayings, but the arrangement by .which such taxes were nearly all thrown upsn the poor Western and Southern people, to the exemption of the Eastern States, presludsd these two, to he suffering sections, from resorting to that mode of raising revenues, as befog still more oppressive to them, and bencflcisl to New England, than tbe cruel tariff bounties they had to pay by the duty mode of raising revenue. But amend tbe Constitution ■o as to Itry taxes upon wealth, sod the South and West combined can adopt the direct taxation system, and bring New England to her level. We are ready to base taxation on wealth with representation on voters. This ie Truidtnt Johnton't plan. Repretentation on eoten, taxes on wealth, and revenue by direct taxation. The Difference. When Generals Meredith, and Grose, and Grat, and Bennett, & Co., returned all scarred and battle worn from the war for the Union, they presented themselves before the Republicans for their approbation and applause; but the Republicans turned from tbem In disgust and eontempt,to send up their shouts of enthusiastic approval and honor, In the chorus to which the Journal Joined, over the man Julian, strewed their flowers of affection in his path, and crowned his brow with the party diadem, the brow of this man Julian, we say, the man who, for years past, has declared that th* Constitution of tbe United State* was $ compact with the deVll, and ought to be diiregardad; and that the South should be crusboi. Without any respect taw her constitutional rights. This man, this, a* President Johnson declares, worse traitor than Davis, the Journal and the Republicans place at the head of their part?, lifting him over the shoulders of the crippled warriors from the field of carnage. Oat am such a traitorous, hypocritical, unpatriotic party. And' hare, too, at the capital of the State, uaorly all th* approving ballots that could be cost for the warriors, McGinnis, Knrtflee, WilEY and Wilson, were freely and sympathetically bestowed by Democrats, who nearly oil voted for them. Why do not the Republl^ns vote for General Slaci for Congress? He was a gallant soldier. Partisan Judiciary Alter permitting the Republican party to occupy tbe court house grounds in order to derive s partisan revenue at the expense of the people of the county, the court has now removed its sittings to the Republican headquarters. This may be made to accomplish two objects, though we can not believe the Judge will allow It: L Enable the party leaden to see that all the decisions are kept strictly within party notions and purposes. We hope, pray and believe the Judge will not yield to such supervision. - 2. Enable the pagty get the rent of their club room out of the qounty- This, pf course, the nsaminud*inTio W * do not knowtbmt ,Wha moved the court to the Republican 2JJJj^j^2®j^r^h«*dquarten?

Now, the nominations mads were:

IZ. The Judge of the Circuit Court, elected last year, was a soldier. Of the fourteen officer* of this county, but three are soldiers, and the offices held by tbe three ar* not worth more than a single one among those held by civilians, not soldiers. What confidence, we ask, can be placed In Republican statements? They dare not stand upon the truth. The Oaxstts correspondent deliberately lied for effect. We turn now to Vidette, said to be th* executive Commercial correspondent. His statements about tbe KniBAU. concern are most egregiously interlarded with falsehoods; so are those about Milligan and the Hirald. Tbe other part of tbe Milligan statement we do not know enough about to speak of its truthfulness. Tbe correspondent states that Dodd was here but a short time. We quote: “ He did not, however, make bis appearance On tbe streets. The United States grand jury was in session, and tbe next day after “ Dick’s ” arrival was chronicled by the papers, it Was hinted around rather mysteriously that Indlct-

legal

tribunal, were to be invited to partake of a repast of that character. That same evening a gentleman, to whom Mr. Dodd was indebted to a small amount previous to bis unceremonious departure for Canada, called at his brother’s residence and said that be wanted to speak with Mr. H. II. Dodd. He was told that Mr. Dudd was not there, and be could not obtain any clue to Richard’s whereabouts. He found tbe inmates of tbe bouse extremely nervous, and soon discovered they bad mistaken him for an officer. Ho insisted on searebin? tbe bouse, which be did, but failed to find the valliant grand commander, and the co|i|U'rli<'»d organ announced that Richard “ bad again taken up his residence in her Majesty’s duinain.” Dodd came to tho city on Saturday of one week; remained here till Friday of the succeeding week; was about the city, in the Republican offices every day, during tbe week be was here, and it has not been denied that he was closeted, much of the time, with the Executive, and it is now established in the minds of our people, as beyond doubt, that tbe whole of the legal proceedings in Dope’s case, his escape, etc., last fsll, were all In pursuance of concerted arrangements between himself and the Republicans. The Republicans now feel sore about tbe appearance of things, and want, by falsehood, to counteract the impre'sion*. The Journal itself, on lost Saturday, was forced to come out In retraction of its own falsehoods in tbe premises, which retraction gives the lie to the statements In the Commercial. We refer the reader to the confessed libel, in the Jour-

nal'$ editorial of last Saturday.

So much for the truthfulness of these corres-

pondents.

Vidette gives the probabilities as to Congressional candidates, and from his supposed nearness to headquarters, his statements, on this subject, deserves notice. He says General VeaCH will be the Republican candidate in the first District; General Gresham in tbe second; General Hunter in the third; In tbe (ourth District, the candidacy, lies between General Spooner and Captain Farquhas; in tbe sixth General Coburn will be nominated.

Of the other diatrict* he says:

But should be (Colfax) decide to remain at home, he will be renominated and re-elected. Hon. David Turple will run against him if bis health will allow hinftomake the canvass,

which is exceedingly doubtful.

Tenth District.—Hon. Joseph H. Defrees, the present incumbent, is a conservative Republican, and will, doubtless, be renominated. Dr. E. W.H. Ellis Is also spoken of os a candidate. He is an experienced politician, and a good man In every respect. The Democratic nomination will be given to either Andrew J. Ellison, of Lagrange, or Colonel McDonald, of Whitley, either of whom will be easily beaten

by tbe Republican candidate.

Eleventh District.—Hon. Thomas N. Stilwell, the present member, is a conservative Republican. He b.ts been an industrious and indefetigable member, and owing to bis personal popularity with the President, has been able to control the patronage of tbe Ad-

ler of reconstruction, favoring the admission of representatives from constituencies that have brought forth no fruits meet for repentance, but, on the contrary, have insulted the Government, that in most unparalleled magnanimity allows them to vote at all, by voting for the bloodiest traitors. We believe that he is aiming to place tbe helm of State affairs iu tbe bands of the South by attempting to bring unrepentant traitors into power in tiie legislative

bodies of the nation.

“ We are greatly mistaken if Johnson has not constantly endeavored ‘ to secure the same end ’ that traitors had in view, ever since he made the political sommersault from the position of an advocate of punishment for traitors to his present one of mistaken leniency, and that end, as every one knows is the political aggrandisement of th* South. " What purpose Meredith, Kilgore, and others of our State have, in taking the course they have taken, we do not know and little care. In calling a State convention, as they have done, they place themselves where every Republican is compelled to despise them as miserable renegades. Doubtless a considerable effort will be made to bring into being a new party in the State of Indiana, on the 19th of July. A few weak Union men, will perhaps, be inveigled into the support of the movement, but the mass will imitate the example of their worthy representatives in Congress, and stand in unbroken phalanx, unmoved by opposition,

unbought by patronage.”

That some of the Johnson Republican leaders may be influenced by tbe motives assigned in the Republican is not improbable; but that the mass of tbem patriotically desire to save tbe Union and tbe conntry, wc believe; and that the Johnson Republicans and the Johnson Democracy should act together to that end is right, patriotic and desirable.

Tlaa Sunday Caw.

“The following case* were disposed of: Bain H. Wall, two cases for desecrating tbe Sabbath, was fined $1 and costs in each.” The above is from tho court reports of yesterday. The costs iu tho two ca-c» were between twenty and thirty dollars. Tbe whole bill against Wall was about thirty dollars. He had quietly sold two glasses of beer for ten cents. Wall docs not believe it is a divine command to observe Sunday, and believes the Sunday law unconstitutional, and, hence, according to Chase and tbe rest of the Republicans, not to be obeyed. On tbe same Sunday that Wall made ten cents by selling two glasses of beer, the Journal, to speculate off the Irish, caused its workmen to come together, abstain irom going to church, disobey, what the Journal professes to believe a divine command, disobey tbe criminal law of the State which the Journal believes constitutional and binding, and, hence, to be obeyed, print extras and peddle tbem about town to the disturbance of the people, and tbe diversion of their mind* from holy thoughts, whereby the Journal made fifty dollars Instead of ten cents. The Journal, not being a Dutchman, is allowed to pocket its profits accumulated by making merchandize of God’s holy day, and throwing contempt upon tbe law of the land. Tbis Is Bepublican administration of law in Indianapolis. Wc are for every man and body of men,who believe it is their duty to observe the Sabbath, being strictly protected from disturbance in so doing. We believe it unconstitutional to force people, against their consciences, to observe it, and tbe folly of a law for that object is shown in tbe fact that public sentiment will not tolerate its enforcement against any but Germans. We say now and nil the time that it is infamous to keep a Kn upon the statute book, not to be cnloicctl alike ogaiust all, but only to be used as an iusti ument to

barraas a class.

ClinlEn County Convention. A correspondent writes as follows of. the convention and of Gcuei al MANSON'S speech. The convention was held last Saturday: Thorntow n, Indiana, June 4, 1866. Editor Herald—Dsor Sir: Permit me through the columns of your truly valuable paper to inform the thousands of Democrats who daily read it, of tbe Clinton County Democratic couvention held at Frankfort on Satur-

day last.

In my time it has been my good fortune to attend many Democratic meetings, but tbe one at Frankfort was the largest county convention I have ever seen. At least two thousand voters were present, and judging the Democracy of Indiana by the enthusiasm and determined spirit exhibited in Clinton, our triumph this fall is certain. After the business of the convention was concluded, those in the court bouse adjourned to tbe yard where they were addressed by our noble standard bearer, General 31. D. Manson The speech was one of the happiest we ever heard. The old general excelled himself. His speech was replete with good sense and logic, his argument unanswerable, and delivered with burning eloquence. His canvass of the State will be a glorious success, bis election, and that of the entire ticket, certain, and under the guidance of tbe old warrior, victory will once more perch upon our standard, and utter ruin, rout and defeat all with swift destruction on our unscrupulous opponents, the enemies of tbe people, tbe violators of the Constitution, and would-be subverters and plun* derert of the Government. All hail tbe day, and God speed the time when not only Indiana, but all the States may be freed from the thrall of the rotten, diseased and corrupt catiffs who now misgovern them. Observer.

Soldiers.

In the strong Republican districts, it appears

that General Julian, General Defrees, General Colfax, General Orth and General Stilwxll are expected to be candidates for Congress, and possibly General Farquhar in bis district. In the districts where there are large Democratic majoritiea, tbe Republicans will run civilians—Yeach, Gresham, etc.

That is all right. The University •( the South. Our readers will recollect the measures taken

by tbe late Bishop Polk, and other Southern bishops, at his instance, to establish on Sewanee mountain, in Tennessee, a great university. which should be to us what Oxford is to England. The present bishop of Tennessee, Dr. Qulntard, thus describes In the journal which accompanies his address to the diocesan convention, held last week at Bolivar, its present condition, after stating the arrival of Rev. J. Austin Merrick, D. D., chosen rector of the Diocesan Training School, of which he subsequently makes mention. Under date of 23d

A number of important decrees have latei

A telegraph will follow the line of the railroad, as it u the case with all those now being or to bo built. Another decree grants to Scnor Liarregui the right to establish a colony to be called Guadeloupe, near the City of Mexico. Tho various railroad, telegraph and steamship enterprises Which Maximilian has set ou foot are being prosecuted with more or less success by the grantees. There are now four steamship lines in full oneration on the Atlantic side and two on the Pacific, while another between New Orleans and Vera Cruz is soon to be inaugurated. By this liuc it is expected that the time between the City of Mexico and New York will be reduced to ten days, in consequence of an arrangement effected by the company with American railroads, and the diiligence and railroad companies in this country, by which through tickets between the two capitals will be furnished, and passengers guaranteed

o ksi. ,Vri

sued by the doctor, t

Casper’M. Sgier; but uo clue was obtainsd to the murder beyond the fact that he hud left Cincinnati in company with two Frenchmen, whose names were unknown. A few days since, as noticed iu the Courier, a Frenchman named De Laforet was arrested for stealing a wagon from the Oakland House, and committed to jail. He was pursued some distance, and when taken into custody begged his cap-

tors to shoot him.

A search of his person revealed a large plain gold ring tied up in a rag, with two twenty dollar gold pieces. The possession ol the ring is supposed to furnish a clue to tbe murder of the soldier. It seems that shortly before the unfortunate Sgier left Cincinnati be bought two heavy gold rings,one of which he presented to a friend named DeSax, and the other he retained. The ring found iu the possession of De La Foret is supposed to be the ring. Dr. Wright, who has taken a considerable interest In the matter from the first, telegraphed the tnets to the friends of the murdered soldier in Cincinnati, and a Mr. H. Bissagger, who had seen the two Frenchmen in company with Sgier before he left for Lafayette, was dispatched to the city. He arrived yesterday, and proceeding to the eounty jail, was ushered into the west hall, where the prisoners assemble during the day, and immediately recogDe La Foret, as one of the men who accompanied Sgier when he left Cincinnati. The jeweler who sold the rings will probably be able to furnish another clue, and it is not inprobuble that some additional evidence may turn up before the close of the week.—Lafay-

ette Courier.

An Answer Wanted. If we are not mistaken the following paragraph appeared in a late number of the New

York Tribune:

“ Suppose Austria and Italy united under one Government—no matter of what form— and Austria, with forty millions of people, rales Italy with twenty millions, contrary to her interests and wishes. Suppose their Government a pure, simple democracy. Now Italy chooses to govern herself—to be’ an independent, self subsisting nation. How do your Constitution, Supreme Court, universal suffrage, purity of elections, and whatever elt-e you please, help the matter? Has Italy a right to be governed as she thinks best; or, is she to

ma-

be governed as it is most agreeable to tbe m jority—that is, to Austria!’ And if she has right to govern herself, how is she to achieve

the enjoyment of it?”

If the above did not appear in the Tribune, it would gratify many outside of the circle of its regular readers, and perhaps some inside of it, if it would sbow tbem hew it would meet its own suppositions and answer its own

questions. _

Mrs. Fary, living at No. 158 East Twentysecond street, on Thursday afternoon left her little girl Rose, aged seven years, with a younger sister, asleep in the front room of the fifth story, locking tbe door as she went out. Rose woke up, and finding herself locked in, crept out of the window, where she hung fo the window siil a few moments. While the ebild was thus hanging by her bands, officers Young and Hart, who were passing on the opposite side of the street, saw her and ran over to save ber as she fell. Before they could reach the opposite side of tbe street the child let go her hold, and falling to the sidewalk was instantly killed. The body was taken up in a horribly mangled condition, and removed to Bellevue Hospital by the officers.—New

The political aspect of Mexico, i

internal affairs, has undergone but slight changes since my last. The Emperor, by way of showing bis confidence in M. Dacunizo, who has been one of bis most prudent advisers, ha* promoted his friend to the position of President of the Council, of State—an office which, until Langlals shall have been succeeded by some French appointee, will involve tbe entire management of the national finances. The Empress, who has acted as President of tbe Imperial Benevolent Society, from the time of its formation under her auspices last year, has just made the first annual report, over ber own mme. to the Emperor. Tbis has been published throughout the country, and, by the pistiive beneficial results in active charities te the poor and^listressed, has still more endeared the name of Cbarlotta to the Mexicans. The report is generally praised, not only for the simplicity of its language and unostentatious style, but for tbe delicate modesty with which tbe mantle of charity la worn. No member of the society has done so much by liersonal exertions to alleviate tbe sufferings of the poor as Cbarlotta, to say nothing of the munificent contributions to this object from

her own immense private fortune.

Pike’* Opera Hone*.

Tbe Cincinnati Commercial says: We learn that Mr. Pike hu written that he will accept the modification of his proposition regarding the rebuilding of the opera house, which was suggested by the meeting held a few days since'at the Cincinnati Club Rooms concerning that matter. Tbis modification was that the two hundred thousand tickets at seventy-five cents each to the subscribed should be good for two years, Instead offer a single season, and accepted at their par value, in case of operatic performances, and other extraordinary entertainments, when the price of admission exceeds seventy-fire cents. The prospect of rebuilding the opera house thus brightens. It is believed that the ticket subscription required can be obtained without

any very great exertion.

UkfcMtetltwtlMMktUir •< tke Civil

Hifkte Bill* -

8$y» that able lawyer, Hon. 8.«. Nichols: “ Nor can the assumed power be derived from that clause of the Constitution which says: “ The citizens of each State shad be (». titled to *11 the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States.” The act neither purports to be. nor is It, an inforcentent of that clause, even if it were conceded that Congress has power thus to inforce it. After attempting to confer citizenship and numerous civil rights upon every native, it also attempts to confer power on tbe federal courts to punish any one who shall try to frustrate the enjoyment of any of the rights so .conferred, without regard to the qu stion whether the parties are citizen* of the same State, while the guarantee can not possibly apply for any purpose, except between citizens of different States, or rather, where the citizen of another State from that in which he happens to be requires its protection. The guarantee affords no pretext for federal interposition between a State and its own citizens, or between a State and those of Us Inhabitants who are citizens of some other State. This is so very plain that it needs no elucidation. Yet nearly the whole of the persons whose protection was the express purpose of tbe act are citizens or inhabitants of the very State in which the act is to operate for their protection. The jurisdiction of tbe Federal courts as to controversies between citizens is expressly limited to those “between citizens of different States,” with the single exception of those “ between citizens of the same State claiming land under grants from different States.” Congress can invade a State with its penal enactments only when the power is expressly given or is a necessary incident to some such power, and the jurisdiction of the Federal courts then follows as a necessary accompaniment to a valid “law of the United States.” From the

ly held by tbe

ogress can not enlarge

tbe jurisdiction of tbe Federal courts bevond

that given by tbe Constitution.

According to the definition given bv all the lexicographers, the naturalization clause is confined exclusively to foreigners, and consequently gives Congress no sort of power over the citizenship of nations. The attempt by this act to confer citizenship upon four millions of native free negroes is an effort at a most stupendous usurpation. It is idle to claim at this late day that the emancipation amendment not only sets the slaves free from their bond* of personal servitude, but also makes

them full citizens.

The amendment was taken verbatim from a clause of tbe ordinance of eighty-seven, as were also the similar prohibitions contained in all the State Constitutions made since then. We have, therefore, a practical construction of near eighty years to guide us as to the meaning of the prohibition. All courts, Federal and State, all State conventions and legislatures, together with Congress, have concurred by their official action in saying that it did not confer full citizenship, but only what the Constitutions of the Nortit western States, by way of distinction, denominate free negroes, that is. “ free inhabitants.” Those constitutions, and the legislation under them have tor more than lilty years practically enforced the distinction, by denying free negroes the privilege of even residence, which would never have been attempted if they enjoved tbe right of even general citizenship of the United States. The eminent jurist, Judge Curtis, in one of the ablest opinions ever delivered In the Supreme Court, after an exhaustive consideration of the subject of citizenship, declares that “ the Constitution has left to the States the determination of what persons, born within tbeir respective limits, shall acquire by birth

citizenship of tbe United States.”

He further declares that Congress has no
