These amendments having been ratified by the legislatures of a large majority of the States, they were, by instructions of the Congress, proclaimed by the President as a part of the federal constitution, and were on yesterday publicly acknowledged in this capital by the military and civil authorities, with the customary ceremonies. The first senate will assemble November 16, 1875.
I transmit herewith a copy of these amendments; also a translation thereof.
I am, &c.,
