The first section is identical with tho provision of the Fifteenth Amendment, and is lionco nugatory and inofficious. A re-cnaclmcnt by Congress can give it no additional eftlcaoy. It is in these words: "That all citizens of the United States who are orshall bo otherwise qualified by law to voto at. any election by the people in any State, Tor- < ritory, district, county, city, parish, towuship, school district, municipality, or other territorial subdivison, shall bo entitled and allowed to voto at all such elections, without distinction of raee, color, or previous condi tion of servitude, any law-, custom, usage, or regulation of any State or I Territory, or by or under its authority. to the contrary uotwiflistanding." The second Beetion is as follows: > Sec. 2. Ami be it further . cnaclcd, ; That if by or under the authority of [ (he constitution or laws ot .:ny State ? or the laws of any Territory, any act > is or shall bo required.to t>o dono as a I" pre-roqnisito or qualification for voti ing. and by such constitution or laws . persons are or shall bo chargcd wiih the lierformnnco of flutios in fnmiali. ing to citizens nn opportunity to per1 form sinih pro-requisite, or to bccomc qualified to vote, it shall be tho duly of ov?ry such person and officer to ' givo to all citizens of the' T'nitcd ' Statos tho same and equal opportuni" ty to perform sueh pre-requisite or to bccome qualified to vole, without dis( tinetion of race, color, or previous ( condition of servitude; and if -any 4 such person or officer shall refiiso or Ifiion'ino'h' nmif. to rrivn full nftiwf (n 3 r?v r?* f " ""VNW 4' % IhiH section, ho smill for every Biich , oftcueo forfeit and pay tlio Bum of $500 l-o tho person aggrieved Iherebj' to bo recovered by an action on the case, with full costs and hucIi allowance for counsel fees as-the court shall - also for every snob offence bo deemed f guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, f on conviction thereof, bo fined not r less than $500, and b? imprisoned not s loss than ono month and not more 1 than one year." Now thero aro two objections to 1 this section?1st., that it imposes hj* Act of Congress duties upon State 1 officers, created by Stato authority, ' and alone amenable to the States, and j this directly in the faco of a decision - of the Supreme Conrt of the United i States?and 2d., that the words, "If any such person Or officer shall refuse i qj: knowingly omit to give full effect - to this scctirrn,". are too vague and > unmeaning to constitute any distinct | indictable offence?a true corjms delic>1 The third section provides: * "That wlionovcr, by or nncfcr'tlie ? authority of the constitution-or laws of any State, or the laws of any Territory, ojjy act is-or shall be required . to bo done by any titizeri as a j>ro-re! quisite to qualify or entitlo him to y vote, tho oTTer of nay such'citizen to ; perform the act to be done, as afore-' [ s>aid, shall, if it failed to be* Carriod inp to execution by reason of the wrbng, ful act or omission aforesaid of tho perj son or officer'charged with-the duty of receiving or permitting such ..per ' formanccfl, or ofTor to perform or act* ing thereon, be deomed and held as a t_; f __1-i i> . ivi uiiiuyu 111 mu ui eucn UUU ?

' That tho district courts of th< United States, within their rospectivi districts,. shall have, exclusively 01 the courts of the several States, cog nizanco ot all crimes and otftmcei committed against tho provisions o this act, and also, concurrently with tho circuit courts of the United States, of nil causes, civil and crimi nal, arising under this net, except a! otherwise provided in tho fillh Bectior hereof." These offences are all touch bettei provided against in tho Stato laws and much more elfectunlly punished Section .seven enables any one upor making affidavit before a U. S. Com missioner to have the registrar or judg< of election arrested, and sent porhap! ono or two hundred mil> ?? for trial? thus defeating a registry or stopping an election. Section eight is as follows : . "That it shall bo tho duly of al marshals and deputy marshals t( obey and ex ecu to all warrants atu precepts issued under tho provisions of this act, when to them directed and should any marshal or deputy marsh all refuso to receivo such war runt ur-oiuor process when tendered or to uho nil proper moans diligontl} to execute the sumo, ho shall, on con viction thereof, bo fined in the sum o one thousand dollars, to the use o Iho person deprived of tho right con ferred by this act." llero again wo have an accumu lation 6f pains and penalties, instcac of leaving tho aggrieved voter to hi! common law remediesSection nine is another of pains anc penalties. Section ten provides: "That tho commissionerf*, distric attorneys, tho marshals, their depu tics, and tho clerics of tho said distric circuit and territorial courts shall In paid for their services the lilce fee: as maj* he allowed to them for simila: services in ot her eases. Tho person 'o persons authorized to execute tho pro cess to bo issued bv sneh era for tho arrest of offenders agains tho provisions of this net shall bo eh tilled to a fee of ten dollars for end person ho or the}' may' arrest am tako before any such commissioner a aforesaid, with such other fees as m:r be deemed reasonable by tho com mis sioncr for such other additional scrvi cos as mny be neeessnrily performoi by him or them, such as attending a tho examination, keeping the prisone in custody, and providing him wit! food and lodging during his detention and until tho final determination o such commissioner, and in general fo: performing such other duties as ma; he required in tho premises, such fee: to bo made up in Conformity, wit! tho foe^usually charged by the ofll cors of tho courts of justico withii the proper district or county, as nea as may do practicable, and paid ou of- the Trcsury of tho United State on tho certificate of the judge of th |district within which the arrest i made, apd to bo reeoverablo from th defendant, as part of the judgment ii case of conviction." Here again aro enormous fees fo very littlo work?a bribo to stimulat the'commcnconient of theso prosccu tions. Section eleven is as follows: "Sec. 1t. A nil be it further enacted That whenever tho PVesidont of th' United States shall have reason t< beliove that offenses have been"or an lilcelj- to be committed against th' provisions of this act within any ju :* -t--ii i.- i * ?

This seems to constitute a sort o aujaregia?a justiciary.court, like tha which uso to traverse Old England and lilce that ought, to bo provider for at tho publid ofcpcnse.

Tho .ludgo neyor comes without . nuilting u speech, und ii Iiua boon out* good Hu'tuno to havo hoard most, If i not till of thorn?nt least portions of I nil of them. Wo shall not say that wo havo been very nvuch edified? - perhaps that was not tho fault of L the speaker?but. t>lilI wo liavo receiv> od much food for reflection. The 1 Judge is u little too tartaric and i i cetic to enable a political opponent to fcnjny his "feast of reason and flow of soul,"-but tlmt is a matter of taste, 3 uhout which wo shall not dispute. 3 The spcech on S:\turday night was ' delivored in tho Court House. We ~ woro not in tho building, tut as the f windows were up, and the speaker has i a-good voice, we could hear from our I adjoining ollico, as much as wo pleased. Ilad wo been present wo might ' havo been tempted to follow tho example and share the l'ato of somo of r our friends, who attempting to escape some unpalatablo remarks, were greeted with?''There iro tho cownrds , that run at tho first fire." Who is . this that talks of running,-running? j XV<2 shall not attempt a synopsis of 5 tho speech, but advert merely to one . or two points. r A largo portion of tho speech Was devoted to tho defence of Governor Scott, Judgo Jloge, and other prom| inont members of tho party qgainst ) tho chargo of "carpet-bagism," in the ' odious senso of tho term. If they * had carpot-baffs, they brought come ' thing in tlicm, said tho speaker, and - could give as well as take. Admit, ? that there is something in tho plea, yet who supposes that Governor] j. Scott, or the honorablo member himf self could ever havo obtained their - present positions in an open field and fair fight eithor at homo or anywhere " else. IThey owo their success to ' means, which certainly do not justify 4 an extravagant eulogy of thoir abili tics or moral endowments. ' But. Judge Carpenter, tho probable nominee of the "Citizens' Party" is also t a carpet-bagger, with this difference, * that ho leads tho hungry "outs," who * are hungering for tho "flesh pots," 3 whilst tho self-satisfied "ins" havo alr ready appeased their hunger. The i* speaker told his audionco to emulate * tho wisdom of the fox in tho fable. ^ and notdriveoff ono swarm of flies, lest . a more hungry swarm should dovour 1 them. Is not this refreshingly cool ? 1 It is certainly very candid. We have S A l?i I u^iuii j dui nuusiuuco?wu aavc [_ fattened upon your life-blood, but an. other set even more greedy is ready i to take our places. "Better .bear the t ills 3'ou have than fty to olhors 3*011 1 know not of.-' Is this tho argument? Then our condition is bad indeed, f Wo aro afraid that wo are inflicted r not nith flics, but with "the daughters V of tho liorse-leach, whoso ciy is, J 'givo,' 'give.' " j_ But tho Honorable gentleman's n speech was brimful of sympathy for r the colored race. IIo had showed his ... " mini oy nis works?no hact appointed ? a eolored cadot at West Point'?be s had recommended a eolored Collector e of U. S. Revenue in tbo Third Con11 gres6ional District, &q., &c. Yet what does all this prove? Only that Judge r Iloge is a shrewd electionceror?that c he knows how to manufacture politii cal capital, and t<? make uso of it in political speeches. In conclusion, the speaker, told his r} audience, that though a candidate for o the Congressional nomination, like a 0 good party man, ho was ready to ac3 quiesce in the -judgment of his poors, and sacrifice personal predilections to r the good of Republicanism. In tlio 9 announcement of which wholesome 7 doctrine he was fully ondorsod, as lie ? was repeatedly cheered, during *thO ^ ueuvory 01 nis spcecn. 3 ~Z T.'* ... . - DEATH OP CHARLES DICKENS. a ' Oharlos Dickons, whose narno is "a household word" on two f Continents,?tho graceful humorist, t ftnd tho incomparable delineator of lifo and character, died at his roslj denco in Kent, England, on Thursday the 9th, inst, of paralysis, in tho fifty ninth year of his ago.
