The Galveston Civilian, steady Union paper, denies the truth of the re- circulated North about President John- brother being neglected by Texas sur- ons when he died of an accidental wound. The other Galveston pay and Houston papers also contradict these reports. The Cirtlian says all the delegates to the Conven- Uonjelvct,as far as heard from, warmly support President Jobnson’s policy. The election of Judge Hancock, at Austin, over ex-Gover- nor Pease, is considered as sustaining the President{ and opposing Governor Hamilton, who is considered as more in accord with the Radicals then withthe President.

Nowing posed to the Legisiatures of the cunendment he Constitation of the Un s *, which when ratified by three-fourths of said Legislatures, shall be valid as part of said Constitution, vi “Article —.

Stevens adi of the amendme: essed the House in support as modified, which he had presented. He said that it differed only from the amendment heretofore under considerati by striking out the words “and direct taxes.” He held differenUy from the position at the other end of the avenue that the Uonstitation needed no amendment, but should remain as our fathers made it. But Congress hada duty to dis- charge, he contended, only equaled for weal or woe to that Convention which issued the Declaration of Independence. The present and future generations awaited the legislation of this Concress on the basis of freedom with the grealest and deepest interest. 11 the fathers had placed the Constitution on the basis of freedom in the Declaration of In- dependence, there wonld have been no neces- sity for the present amendment, and every one would have been free and equal before the law. But atthe time when it was proposed to reduce (he principles of the declaration into the organic law of the iand, a spirit hot from hell appeared among the founders of the Govyern- ment, which had been growing larger and stronger ever since. The fathers, to preserve and harmonize the conflicting views of the thirteen colonies, made a compromise in the Constitution. At the time that took place there were but ninety bales of cotton exported. Now there were three millions. Then there were but a few es, while now there were four mil- lions of treedmen—the slaves having increased so rapidly as to exceed even the white popuia- tion of the southern States. He viewed the present time as the one to do justice to the prin- ciples of theConetitution,ind he would say now that he would rather not live than to enter- tain the sentiment of the gentleman from New York, (Mr. Raymond,) and those above him, that the Constitution did not need any amend- ment. Mr. Raymond (interrupting) said that Mr. Stevens misunderstood him in saying that he opposed allamendments. He expressly cou- ceded that some amendment similar to the ig one should be adopted. Mr. Stevens (continuing) said he alluded as muchtoagentleman of the other end of the Avenne as tothe gentleman from New York. He had as much respect for the President as any one, but he did not endorse him, tor he had put forth « doeumentin the shape of a com- mand tothis House, which was & usurpation and a violation of the rules and privileges of this House, and a hundred years ago would bave cost a British king his head had he sent soch anedict in such a way to Parliament. Without this amendment he contended that the States always had thé right ‘te regulate the elective franghisey and hetheld thatthe pend- ing amendment did not take away this right when it became incorporated in the Constitu- tion. It said, however, to these States, if they abused the elective franchise the Constitution would hold EP eeny: over them.

He tien al- luded to Mr. Raymond’s speech, and declared that the Southern States were belligerent du: ing the war beyond a doubt, the gentleman opinion to the contrary. He admired Mr. Ray- mond, who was powerful in assault and cun- ning in defence, and commanded amiabili- ty of temper, but the softening of the brain was sometimes taken for tenderness of the heart. He quoted theconclusion of Raymond's speech where he spoke of the rebel dead lying with our own, and being the nation’s for evermore. Mr. Stevens said the gentleman had spoken of the rebel dead with ourown dead, who gave up their lives at Gettysburg and the kindred fields of the war. Instead of leaving them to Tot m their dishonored graves, unweptand un- sung, they are to be resurrected to the front ranks of the nation, and monuments erected to their memory. He deemed such talk on the part of tke - tleman as simply blasphemy, and if the spirits of the dead could burst the cerements of the tomb and stalk from their graves, wrapped in their orig | shrouds, they would rebuke the gentleman forsuch blasphemy until his eye. balls were seared. Mr. Raymond said that he spoke only of the courage of the rebel soldiers, and did not claim them as with the loyal dead. Loud cries of “question, from all parts of proceeded to vote. Mr. Schenck offered his amendment basing apportionment on votes, as a substitute. It Was not agreed to—yeas 32, nays 130.

If this be so, with me it would cover a multitude of sins. 1 can hardly trust myeelf to speak in public of that noble man who is now sleeping quietly in the patriot's and the martyr’s grave. I do not wish to do injustice to General Ba- ker, but I do not intend that injustice shall be done to others. There is a gentleman residing in this city well and favorably known. He is my personal friend. He has four wounds in his body made by rebel bullets. He was pro- vost marshal of the District of Columbia, and never made an enemy by abusing his auther- ity. He was in his saadle eleven days and nights, although his body was torn, mutilated, and wounded, in pursuit of the assaseins who stabbed at the jon’s heart.
