Pending The Passage Of The

Solditírs' Suffrage bilí in tho House, Ilon. II, J. IJeakes, of this city, with a view of providing a way for testing the con stitutiouulity of tho moasure, whioh he and other tnenibers of both parties, seri iouslv doubted, offered tliree additional eectioiis referring the mattrr to tlsc Supreuie Court so that tho decisión of tha body might be reached before the Fall tloctioii, and tbus avoid the vexatious delays froui the litigatiou sure to arise, lijs amcndment was sumiuarily rejeeted, as casting a doubt upon the bill, and thus weakening it- as a politica] mcasurc. At t'no sanio time there was au expression of a'williugness on tho part of memhcrr. of thy majority to provide an independent way of gettiug tho law'into Getart ; but when Mr. Be.vkrs subsequently offered a joiut resolution looking to tliat result it waa also suminarily volcd down. Mr. Ckoswcll, a leading member of tbo majority, not c'.earlj couvinoed of the eonstitutioDality of the law, oS'ered an amendmeut making it applicable to the Spring elections, avowing kis object to be to get it before the Oourt before the Fall electiqa. Bu,t thjs, too, was rejected. Party uocessity, party love for the soldier(s' votes) detnanded the pa&sage of the bill, and passed it must be, and a politica! campaign c.onduoted in the %ld before the Court can review t, aud ihen wheu the Court shall declare it unconstitutional it wilt have done its work. We onco Leard a Senator remar!;, " d - n tho oonstitution, we oan't run the machine and pay any attention to it, and so wc must shut our eycs and go it blind;"1 and we ooaslude tbis motto was fully aoted upon when tho Soldiers' Suffrage bill was put on its passage. It was passcd to prove the Republioan party the peculiar frfcnd of the soldier, and is simply an eleetioneering document, Ly Both the House and Senate, at tho late extra session of the Legislatura, passed a resolution denouneing Colonel IIill, the Assistant Provost Marshal General for this State, and domauding his rëmoval. The " experieuces " related in the House cominitteo of the whole, as sketched by the reporter, were amusing if not pathetic. Afterwards, when Mr. Morton, of Monroe, introdu.ced a resolution censuring one of Col. Hill's orders relative to credits, au order unjust and deserring of censure, the Honorable members trembled in tacir shoes. The resolution struck beyoud Colonel Hill; his order was issued by order of the War Departmctit ; . " and it would not do to censure that departmeai.. Oouragöous men, indeed ; could condemn a suborainats officer without a hearing, and deinaud his, renoval, but dare not mildly disapprovo tae orders of his superior. - This rsspest for the feelings of the War Department smacks of the spirit of the school boy who is reported as saying to his bigger playraato, " Well, Bill, if I can't lick you, I'll make faces at your sister any how.1'
