The Senate having refused to ap? point a Committee of Conference, and insisted on Sherman's substitute to Stevens' bill, tho House passed the same, as amend'd by Wilson and Shellabarger. Tho first passed by a vote of G9 to GO, and thc latter by 08 to 70; and in this action the Senate concurred. Mr. "Wilson's admend ment is as follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Con? gress assembled, That the 14th Arti? cle of Amendment to tho Constitu? tion having been duly ratified by the Legislatures of the requisite number of States, the same is hereby de? clared duly ratified, and part of the Constitution of the United States, and valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution of the United States; and when any of the States lately in insurrection shall have ratified the same, and shall have modified the constitution and laws in conformity therewith, and which shall secure equal and impartial suf? frage to all male citizens of the United States that shall have attained thc age of twenty-one years, and have resided in the State one year, and in the town, Parish, city,"Dis? trict or Count3r, three months next preceding the day of election, with? out regard to race, color Or previous condition of servitude, except such as may bo disfranchised for partici? pation in the late rebellion, in any and all elections for Presidential Electors lleprescntatives in Con? gress, and in any and all elections for Governor, and for all State, County, District, Parish, city and town offi? cers, and has provided, by its consti? tution and laws that all citizens of the United States shall equally pos? sess thc right to pursue all lawful avocations and business; to receive the equal benefit of the public schools, and to have the equal pro? tection of all citizens of the United Statos in said State; and when said constitution shall have been submit? ted to the voters of said States, as ?n^:s defined, for ratification or re? jection; and -when the constitution, if ratified by the people of said State, j shall have been submitted to Con? gress for examination und approval, said State shall, if its constitution be approved by Congress, be declared entitled to representation in Con? gress, and Senators and Representa? tives shall be permitted therefrom on their taking the oath prescribed by law. Shcllabarger's amendment declares that, until the rebellions States are admitted to representation, any civil . government shall bu deemed provi? sional, subject to the authority of the United States, and to be abolished, modified or superseded at any time; and that elections under civil govern? ment shall bo conducted by persons described in fifth section, and that i no person snail be qualified to hold ; office under the provisional govern- ! ment who is ineligible under the pro- | visions of the third section of tho j constitutional amendment of lust ses? sion, j Thc bill has tims passed, incorpo? rating the ontiro of tin; constitution? al amendment, mid, .-ts it would seem, taking i very possible precaution to render politically innocuous both Un? loaders and thc people "lately in re? bellion." Mr. Elliott's Louisiana bil! is no longer needed, as the bril just passed extends over the entire South. I CJuirlesion News. . ? A correspondent writing from Ca? lifornia to the Suidhern tiecord, says: Just hore, lot mo say to. the many friends who write concerning coming to this country to bettor themselves: If you have a home, and can make a living, stay where you are. If you come boro to buy land, you cannot tell whither you have any title or not. The best of tho farming land is covered w'th Spanish grants. People here arr nously talking of emigrating to f Southern Statos, and by next spring quite a number .will start. Stand Pinn. Tlic Richmond Times says: "The King is dead! Longlivethe Kin^r!" were the cries with which the . French people, for ages, announced i the mortality o? man and tho snp I posed immortality of the splendid I despotism of the Lourbons. I In these days of gloom and oppres ' sion, the death of one radical Con? gress is followed at an interval of le:.s than twenty-four hours by the or j ganization of another still more ro I morselcss, violent arid unscrupulous,, j Like that hideous giant who, so I fierceless, persecuted the traveler, it j disappears simply to be followed by j another monster still more relentless and active in evil deeds than the first. We may improve the brief interval, however, which must necessarily elapse between tho dissolution of thc i thirty-ninth and tho organization of the fortieth Congress, by preparing to meet, with calm courage and forti? tude, every unknown wrong which is still concealed from our view in the womb of Time. Now is the time for thc South to show the greatness of her soul, and to make her persecutors desperate in the discovery that bayonets and brute force have no terrors for her; that the sublimity of her courage and for? titude can never be reached by those who have neither the wisdom nor statesmanship to "reconstruct,*' but idly think that nil the Gordian knots of politics can be cut by the sword of a brigadier. The spectacle of martial law and ? military commissions, during a pe? riod of profound peace, and among a ! people who are totally defenceless, ! and multitudes of them on the verge of starvation, will shock, not only the sober, second thought of the North, but will be visited witli tho honest indignation of all Christen? dom. Such a proceeding will be re? ceived by mankind pretty much in the same way us they would in the old time the massacre of St. Bartho? lomew's Lay, or Herod's murder of the Innocents. The utter absurdity of the necessity of governing the South with the military arm will be? come more and more apparent when? ever such a scheme shall commence to be put in operation. And that Congress should be driven to this means'-of escape from its troubles will be the clearest proof of its in? ability to legislate for the good of the country, or to compose its troubles. It will be a confession that our na? tional councils lack brain and virtue, when, for so little provocation, they call in tho bayonet and sword to solve what deliberative wisdom should accomplish. The "military governments" will amount to nothing, for, to make them elliciout, would require, a stand? ing army four times as large as that now in the service of tin- United States. -. -??- *- - - ANOTHER ADVANCE IN INSURANCE HATKS.-The insurance companies of this city have resolved upon another advance in their rates. This action results from the heavy losses which the companies have lately sustained, together with the inefficiency of the fire department under its present management. Whatever may be said of the respective merits of the old and the new department system, it must be admitted that the destruc? tion of property by fire has been much greater since the change was made. And til is increased loss falls upon tho people in the way of ad- ! vanced insurance rates. Lut thc practical question is, how can tho ef? ficiency of the lire depaatment be im- : proved? Shall we abolish the paid system, and return to the discarded one*? We doubt tlie expediency of ! such a change. Thc old system had i some good features, but it hud more bad ones, and we should bi; reluctant to take its evils back for the sake of securing its good qualities. Tho in? efficiency <>f tlie present lire depart? ment we believe to bo solely a conse? quence of bml management, and not the result of defect in the .system, it;; managers have made it a political machine, rather than a machine for1 extinguishing lires, and so long as ir romains in that situation it will be a source ol' complaint and of advanced insurance rates. Then; an; three I points in which changes must be made beforp the fire department will attain the required efficiency, Ejirst, I the appointment of a non-partisan, j competent, and energetic bonni of : commissioners to supercede the poli? ticians who now constitute tin; board, i Second, a material increase in the number ol' firemen, which is now to? tally inadequate to tlie duties re? quired. Third, a substantial increase in the salaries of the firemen. The defect in these respects covers tlie whole difficulty, and weare confident that if the suggested remedios be ap? plied, there will not long be cause for periodical advances in insurance rates.-New York Sun.

CERTIFICATE OF REV. R. T. FXiUAUnr.- To th: ITos \ tetter- I3K.AU Sin: This is to certify that I I was taken with the dyspepsia a year ago j last March, and, for a period of eight j months, was one of the most miserable creatures yon ever beheld, not being able ' either to eat, drink or sleep, and was com : polled to walk the tloor incessantly. I was j nearly deprived of my reason, ami hope had entirely left me, all tho efforts made for my recovery having proved fruitless. Ly the first of November, 18(15, I had become so weak and feeble that I could scarcely stand alone, and, to all appear? ance, would soon die. At this time, (hav? ing read your advertisement.? my wife j prevailed upon mc to try your bitters. A bottle was procured, and, strange to say, I soon commenced recovering. I have taken four bottles, and am enjoying as good health now as could be expected for lone of my age, (about sixty years.) I nave no doubt that it was your Bitters alone, under Divine Providence, that effected this wonderful cure. U. T. FLUALTN. Hudson. Midi.. August 30, lStic. ' Feb 13 ' bi Til E FRANKLIN" BUICK MA?
