Twenty-two of the twenty-seven States (or three-fourths of the whole number) now repre- sented in the general government having ratified th@proposed amendment of the consti- tution designated as article fourteen, and Mr. Sumner in the Senate and Mr. Bingham in tho House having each introduced a bill for the declaration of the ratification of said amend- ment, the question as to what the two houses of Congress will do with it becomes a very important one. We have so often presented tho provisions of this amendment that we deem at present a mere suggestion touching them sufficient to recall them to the minds of our readera. Tho amendment, then, first, declares the equality of all citizens of all races and celors in the matter of their civil rights; secondly, that representation and suffrage, enlarged or abridged, shall go together, as each State for itself may elect ; thirdly, that certain leading rebels in tho late Southern rebellion shall be disfranchised and excluded from office until absolved by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress ; fourthly, that the obligations of the national debt shall be held sacred, and that neither the debts of the revellion nor any claims for emancipated slaves shall anywhere be recognized; fifthly, that Congross shall have power to enforce these several provisions. Now, if the States represented in the general government constitute in law the United States, three-iourths of them are sufficient to ratify a consiiiutional amendment. In this view this proposed amendment has been ratified by the required three-fourths of the States ; and as the constitution leaves the mode of the declaration of all such ratifications with Con- gress the two houses may, a3 proposed by bill, declare tho ratification consummated and said amehdmont part and pareel of the consti- tution as article fourteen. But what will be the effect of the adoption of this ariicle? The great objection to it on the pari of the out- and-out radicals is the provision which leaves the regulation of the elective franchise where it now lies—with the several States. To be sure, there is the condition that if South Caro- lina, for example, shall exclude her black population from the ballot box that popula- tion shall not be counted in counting her people for representation in Congross. But | how would this exclusion work? Tako one hundred thousand people, for instance, as tue requisition for one Representative in Congress, South Carolina, countiag all her people—seven hundred thousand—would have seven Repre- sentatives. Exclude her blacks from the suf- frage (and there are four hundred thousand of them) and she would be reduced to three Representatives in Congress. And so, in refer- ence to any race or class of citizens, the federal representation ty this amendment is enlarged or restricted to the margin of the suffrage. This appears to us to be perfectly fair and jnst. The right to regulate the suffrage, in being lett to the States without this con:lition of this amendment, might be unjustly exer- cised ; but with this condition there is every inducement to every State to extend the suf- fiage to its males over twenty-one years of all races, classes and colors. Bat how is this emendment to be harmonized witb the universal negro suffrage plan of reconstruction now in full operation in the ten excluded rebel States? That is the question ; and yet, by the simple assumption that the amendment will not apply to said States till duly restored to Congress, the difficulty may be surmounted. But the extreme radicals will never consent to this concession to the States, which gives to Ohio, for example, .the right to exclude indefi- nitely her negrd population from the ballot box. The radicals will rather insist upon a bill from Congress enforcing negro suffrage | upon all the States, That is, in reality, Mr. Sumuer’s ullimatum, notwithstanding his intro- duction of « bill to deciare the ratification of this amoudinent as article fourteen of the con- stitution. There is, however, some danger to be appre bended in regard to the amendment abolishing slavery if nothing shall be done by Congress upon this other amendment. Mr. Seward, as Secretary of State, officially proclaimed the ratification of the amendment abolishing slavery on the basis of its adoption by iwenty- seven or three-fourths of all the States, includ- ing half & dogs or #0 of the rebel States, as reconstructed bz President Johnson. But Con- gress upset those Sontheth State governments of the Committee on Cities was rerumed, and atthe conclasion of a speech of Mr. Verplanck in oppomtion to legialative contro) over New York city an adjournment took piace until Monday, inthe United Statoe *upreme Court yesterday the couse NO, 6, otiginel, State of Texas va, White, Chiles 14 on the motion to dissolve the injanction herelotore | Wenlreintag the from using or disposing Of certein United iva from the robe) militate Gourd Ti of the febsliion, The motion to dissolve the (atunciiog Jo Bites bp°0 Wee grosna thet tbe Siete of of Mr. Johnson as illegal and void; and so, their ratifioations of the ameRdment in a que tion being quashed, it follows that unless thiéo-fourthe of the Sigtes represented in Con gress are ag to fix an amendment jo the constitution, th ment abolishing slavery amoints c wi fag, fog, and slavery, under the ee may be toestablishes in Kentucky Ww. . ‘ at hs . for @ recognition of the ratifigation of this subsequent amendment as proposed in each of the bills of Mr, Sumner and Mr. Bingham, because if the first amend- ment under consideration has been duly rat- ifled the second has been, and the latte r can- not be ignored without forfeiting the other. The issue, then, before Congress is simply this : whether they will leave the abolition of sla- very an unsettled question, or settle it by pro- claiming the amendment which fixes in the constitution the regulation of the right of suffrage as @ matter resting with oach of the States; and we hope this issue will not be evaded, for there is danger in it as well as safety. Russia Taking a Look Inte China. The Chinese officers in command on the frontier of the empire which adjoins the Russian territory have ordered military move- “ments, the execution of which is regarded by the Cabinot in St. Petersburg as “ warlike and offensive,” and an imperial protest has been forwarded in consequence to Pekin. The trouble has originated, most probably, in some difficulty relative to the working of the newly discovered gold mines on the banks of the Amoor river and the repressive measures exercised by the Russian soldiers with the view of preventing tumult and keeping off unlicensed adventurers from the “diggings.’’ When Russia announces, however, that the Chinese have becomo warlike and offensive and that she is about to protest, it moans exactly that the Czar is determined to take a sharp look into the internal arrangements of the neighboring empire and endeavor to ascertain, if possible, from what source all these next door rebellions crop up—what Is the exact nature, extent and direction of the Gresk Triad (the Chinese Fenians) Society, what is the character of the Burlingame mission, how it is proposed to honor and decorate Mr. Burlingame if he is successful, and other matters of a like nature. In fact, Russia is about to assume tho réle of a prominent military surgeon, and, boing on the spot, com- mence the treatment of tho case of the second “Sick Man” of the East before the more distant Western doctors can arrive at his bedside. The Czar has a fine ropresentation already in Pekin, but as it obtained entrance in the garb of religion its members ara forced to wear the ecclesiastical cloak still, and must consequently be content to offer ghosily advice and spiritual consolation solely, and not look too much after worldly profits. This system does not “pay,” so Russia has deter- mined to enter China as a lay practitioner also, and take a keen survey both of the condition of the patient and the amount and value of his testamentary effects. Ii obliged to resort to the famous modern counter-irritant remedy of war the present “warlike and offensive” movements of the Chinese will afford as favor- able excuso for that cours of treatment as any of those presontod in Indis, Algeria, Turkey, Kaffreland and other places. Progress of Civilization at sitka—Prospects of Another Iudian War. According to a despatch from Sain Francisco published in the Heranp yesterday, our new possessions of Alaska havo staried on tho march of civilization. A billiard siloon, res- taurants and a pawnbroker’s shop had been opened. Besides, a number of burglaries were reported and “brutal fighis are not untre- quent.” This is the commencemsnt of civiliza- tion in those high latitudes of our late pur- chase and among the Esquimaux and Russians there. However, there will bo an improve- ment upon this state of things in time. Cali- fornia was a pretty rough place in tho early days of its se.tlement, but has become an im- poriant State, wito a highly civilized comma- nity. We learn that a number of buildings were being erected at Sitka and that a gov- ernment engineer had designed a plan of city improvements, There is another sign or con- comitant of the march of civilization in Alaska, The Indians aro discontented and begin to exhibit hostility. They do not like interference with their customs. Many strange Indiaus continued to appear and to disappear in rather # mysterious mavner, and some were making savage threats aga 'nst the whites, These may be symptoms of another Indian war, for such wars appear to be inevitabie wienever our people come in clogs coatict wits Indian tribes, The governm:nt should do everything to prevent such a catasirople, Our offivials in Alaska should restrain tho bad white men who often bring on such trouble, and should treat the Indians with kindnoss and firmness com- bined. An Indian war in that ioy region would be difficult, painful and costly. Above all, let the government keep a sharp eye on those fel- lows who want army contracts and who thrive amidst wars and excitements, Lord Stanicy on the Condition of Ireland. Oa the evening of January 22 a ministerial dinner was given at Bristol. Lord Staniey, it appears from a telegram of yesterday, was present and made a speech on the occasion. Ireland, of course, oame in for a prominent share of attention. In the opinion of Lord Stanley Ireland was never more prosperous nor was she ever more discontented. Our cable despatch did not inform us how his lordship reconciled these apparent opposites. We have little doubt that his lordship made some attempt to do so. Lord Stanley is of opinion that Church and land reforms must be loft over to the new Parliament, which, if it does not come into existence earlicr, must come into existence ia 1869. Of course the Scotch and Irish Reform bills will be passed this year. Lord Stanley, in making these remarks in regard to Ireland, showed that he thoroughly understood the situation. It is glory enough for the present Ministry to broaden the area of representation over the three kingdoms. A reformed Parliament, a8 Lord Stanley well knows, will be in a better position to deal with Irish questions than any Parliament which has yet existed. Tho early redross of Irish griov- ances is as certain as it is necessary. Sri Avoraer Surrema Court Bret.—As there is some chance of » hitoh In the Senate on the Supreme Coifft vill of the House making @ concurrence of two-thirds of the a essary to invalidate 9 law Old Thad Stevens,” of the Boose iene: tion Committee, has hit psn another scheme, one it appears in the ‘shape of anew bill ont off from the appellate jurisdiction of the sia eu ses Sry. co thoes oe ae oe rome, This Is The necessliy thes becomes epparent | thin as on other projoot, for thd expreasly con@rs upon Congress the regulating the appellate jurisdiotion Supreme, Court Of course She of this Congress may be apset by the noxt; but as deaperate cases oall for desperate remedies, this bill will doubtless be oarrled through. a’ § The New House Bilt on the Rights of Naturalized Citizens, The bill just agreed upon by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and which will soon be reported by Mr. Banks, is & very fair one and appears to cover the question pretty closely, It defines accurately enough when a naturaliged citizen ceases to have any right of protection. For example, when he violates the law of any foreign State within the jurisdiction of that State, or in case of desertion from “actual” service in the army or navy of his native State, or if he removes his domicile from the United States to the country of his birth and abides there for one year. The President is empowered, in case any naturalized citizen of the United States has been arrested and is detained by any foreign government in contravention of the intent and purposes of this act, upon the allegation that naturalization in the United States does not operate to dissolve his allegiance to his native ‘ soverelgn—that any native born citizen shall have been arrested and detained without charge of crime committed within the jurisdic- tion of such State, and whose release shall have been unreasonably delayed or refused— to order the arrest and to detain in custody any subject of such foreign government who may be found within the jurisdlotion of the United States, by way of indemnity or reprisal. It is probable that this latter clause will not become law; but it is nota bad ides, though somewhat savoring of the old feudal times. Still, such power being placed in the hands of the President, foreign nations would be likely to deal with a littl less arrogance in their transactions with citizens of this republic. It is eminently just and becoming the dignity of this government that it shall, as this law pro- vides, use its influence and authority to secure the recognition by other governments of the principles of public law which have been insisted upon and maintained by the govera- ment of the United States in regard to the rights of naturalized citizens. In other words, that American law and not that of any foreign State shall interpret @n American citizen’s rights. This is precisely what the public voice, which is now being expressed in all parts of the country at various mass meet- ings, evidently demands, Such a law strictly administered would settle the whole question. oe Revival ef Railway Jobs at Albany. “Pat not thy trust in princes” must nowa- days be translated, “Pat not thy trust in politicians.” Notwithstanding all promises to the contrary, our legislators at Albany have opened the sluice-gates to a flood of railway jobs. Day before yesterday a number of rail- road bills were introduced in the Legislature. The Senate bill for’ “the People’s Railroad,” to run over the routes of the Third and Fourth Avenue Railroads, was presented, together with a bill for the incorporation of the Twenty- third street and Fulton Ferry Railroad Com- pany. Bills were also introduced to provide hat it shall be unlawful for the Third Avenue Railroad Company to charge more than five cents fur a single fare for any distance on the entire road within the limits of the city; and also fo provide for the enforcement of a similar reduction of fare on the Second Avenue Road. A bill was introduced in the House to secure the rights of passengers, which have so long been disregarded on all our city railways. The Manhattan Underground Railway measure was revived. Notice was given of a bill fora crosstown railway, running from Tenth Sireet ferry to the Jersey City ferry at Cortlandt street. It is said, moreover, that the New York Centrat Railroad Company is about to be indicted by the Grand Jury, ostensioly for the purpose of abating the nuisanco of obstructing travel at the Brondway street crossing in Albany, but in reality for the purpose of removing the depot from the Delavan House to the vicinity of the bridge crossing the Iindson, Some of these newly proposed measures are avowedly steps towards reform too sorely needed in our railway system. But there is too much reason to suspect that even these measures are brought forward by parties who confidently expect to be “bought off” by various railway companies, and jobbery is but too legibly inscribed on almost all the railway bills presented to the Legislature on Thursday. Licensing Physicians and Apothecarios. There has been ® proposition made in the present Legislature to establish a State board for the examination of candidates for the degree of medicine, and now the Constitutional Convention has the same subject before it, It is a subject that is hardly in the sphere of the Convention, but there can scarcely be two opinions among thinking men as to the necos- sity of some legislative enactment defining the limit to which tho public may be at the mercy of pretenders in medicine and providing for the safety of the people from the incompetency of apothecaries. We,have constantly to report cases of death resulting’ from one medicine having been delivered by the apothecary where anothor had been ordered by the physician, Sometimes this is mere carcless- ness, against which 00 laws can secure us; but oftener this bad consequence flows from the fact that drugs are dispensed by men ignorant of their nature. It is highly probable that a law requiring every person engaged in dispensing drugs for medicinal use to be medically educated would pretty amply pro- vide against this evil. Such o law we should have. The caso with regard to practitioners is equally simple. Our medical colleges are all that is required for founding a medical education, though thoy do litte more, and theso colleges give a diploma, What is re- quired from the State is to pass s law, and en- force it, making it © misdemeanor for any man to practise who does not possess such evidence of his having studied. As it now stands the mere diploma amounts to little; for any one possessing it or not is equally at liberty to im pose upon the credulity of the lio With the promise of miraouloy estat protonder betae wen ORR iw in those rare casos in which Goath from on | malpractice can be direotly fastened upon hi By rapa or if amonable for injury to healta, ls by © suit so oxponsive that the pay out of the reach of those who are victims ef Umpostare, TELEGRAPH NEWS ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.
