Tue FousreENTa AMENDueNT.—
Secretary Seward has officially announced thé adoption of the Fourteenth}
Amendment to ‘the Constitutiow of the
United, Statesand tt is now a part of
the faridaméental law of the land —
Three-fourthe ofall the States have
ratified this amendment, and now all
State laws’ contrary. to its. provisions.
ere a nullity, This amendment pro; vides: thas all persons born or natural.
“ized in the United “States and subject
to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens
of the United States and of the State}.
where they reside ; no State shall make
or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privileges or immunities of citizens
ofthe United States; that Represéntativesshall. be apportiotied among the
‘sevéral States according to their respective numbers, but. when the tight
of any class to vote is denied, the basis
of ‘teprésetitdtion sliall be reduced in
proportion ; ‘that all persons who, ‘havg.
ing previously taken an oth as amember of Congress, of’ a8 a member of any
State or as an Executive or
perrie agy any. State, to support.
~ the Constitution of the Uiiited States,
engaged in rebellion, shall be ineligible
to’ office till thé disability is removed
by a vote of are, of Congress ;
that .the. public debt. shall never. be
si, a Rn ts Aa
Snorany State shall ever assume
yany debt or obligation contractota si ot b
ment, and the Legislature
of Ohio and New tebees mpted t6
withdraw the assent of those States,but
Secretary Seward decided that it could .
_Assombly of this
this amendnot be done: Ifguch # right were «d‘Prof
mitted it would extend not only to the
amendments but to. the Constitution
and would be an acknowledgment of
the right.of secession in iis broadest
fetes The apportionment of members .
of Congress is. made upon the number
of inhabitants; provided that when any
class‘Of persons, Citizens of the United
States, native or. naturalized, are denied
the right to vote, the basia.of representation: ia reduced in proportion to such
number.. [thas been claimed that this
provision, will the. retion-of California on t of the Chi:
nése, but. such . i not the fact'as.they
are not made ‘citizens by this amend:
ment.and cannot become such under the
naturalization law. The eifect.of this
amendment will be to’ equalize representation throughout the country and
Giyeeach constituency an equal voice in
the House of Representatives. Persons
who, having taken an oat : support
the Constitution of the United’ States,
violated that oath and participated in .
the rebellion, cannot hold any civile or
military! position, andet th® General oF
State government, except by the conameter e thinis of ont house of Gos:
gress.
Under this andaiilineds no State can
deny to any persomwithin its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law.—
The provision, is . espegially beneficial
to California, ag it.will enable the courts
to take thé testimony of Chinese in the
cases. that frequently occur in which
Chibdbea® robbed.and brutally treated
by gangs ofwhite outlaws who know
that’ the! ‘téstiniony Of their victims
could not be brought into Court against
them. With” this’ testimony, as with
all others where jurors are the ‘judges
_ of the credibility of withiess, they will
judge of the ;weight of the ‘testimony;

HENRY Mackre, ‘Esq.: Dear Sir :—I
hereby tender through you “to the
Phoenix & Aitna Fire Insurance companies, thé thariks of the Fire Department
of this city, for the dgnation’c of $20, for.
warded by R. H. Magill, agent of those
excellent companies, as a “slight token
of the appreciation,” as you have been
pleased to say, “of the zy and skill
displayed by the Department-in the fire
tof July 17th by which a valuable building, and perhaps, the city’ of Névada
was saved. “Though the Phanix &
4Etna lost nothing by the fire, they
cannot forget that it was owing to the
efficiency of the Fire Department of
Nevada by which # conflagration. was
stopped in its incipiency.” » In accepting the donation of your companies .
allow us to express the hope that they
may be as forwanate in the future as on
the late occasion,
