Authorizing the coinage of a new five-cent piece, to be partly composed of silver in the House of Representatives of the United States yesterday, the sweeping amendment to the Constitution was passed—that amendment which enfranchises all of the negroes of the country and disfranchises a large part of the white citizenship of the South. Many of the radicals indicated by the remarks, while the amendment was under discussion, that the minted strike on the third section, disfranchising all persons who voluntarily entered the Confederate service and keeping them disfranchised until the 7th, but Thad Stevens made a bitter speech against all the South and all men who sympathized with the Confederacy, and this whipped them back in line. The vote stood: ayes, 68; noes, 57. The amendment now goes to the Senate, and will pass without trouble.
