Ratification Meeting in Washington,
The Democratic Conservative Rati6ca-
ton Meeting, held in Washington on Sa-
turday evening last, was very large and
enthusiastic. The crowds of people, the
different professions, the firing of cannons,
the display Of flags, all lent interest and
excitement to the scene. Speeches were
made by Senator Doolittle, Gen. Thomas
Ewing, Mr.. Trimble, Mr.. Niblack, Mr..
Cavanaugh, Mr.. Eldridge, and various
others. The platform Of the New York
Convention was adopted with loud ap-
plause. The crowd in front of the main
platform being so large that it was impos-
sible for all to hear the speakers, it was
decided to invite speakers to occupy the
stands arranged on the steps of the two
wings of the City Hall. The steps on the
eastern wing were placed in charge of
several German citizens, and, under their
supervision, large meeting Of Germans
was held. Everything was conducted in
a proper and orderly manner.

The Fourteenth Amendment.

l
The Secretary of State, Mr.. Seward
has made proclamation in regard to tht
adoption of the joint resolution of Con
gress proposing what is denominatcd thu
fourteenth amendment to the Constitution
Under the law OF 1918, when three
fourths of the States have ratified any a
mendment, it is made the duty of the Sec
rctary to so announce. After enumerat
ing twenty-three States Gncluding Ohio
and New Jersey, which undertook to re-
call their assent) as having adopted the
amendment, he cites also the fact thai
from documents on file in the State De.
partment it appears to have been ratified
by ''newly constituted and newly estab,
lished bodies, avowing themselves, re-
spectively, to be and acting as the Legis-
latures of Arkansas, Florida, North Car
DINA, Louisiana, South Carolina and AL
ALBANIA" These make 90 in all. the re-
quisite two-thirds-the whole number be-
ing 81. Mr.. Seward therefore certifes
that if the first resolution of the Legisla-
lures of Ohio and New Jersey are to be
deemed as remaining in full force and eff
feet, (admitted to be matter of doubt, }
Notwithstanding the subsequent action of
withdrawal then the amendment has been
ratified in the manner hereinbefore men
toned, and so has become valid.

resolution and changed it from joint to
a concurrent resolution, so as to prevent
any interposition of the President, and in
this shape it was put through and hurried
over to the House, where it was agreed
to, at railroad speed. The correspondent
Of the Baltimore Sun says that, "during
The morning despatch was received from
the Provisional Governor of Georgia an
nouncing the ratification Of the amend
nent by the so-called Legislature of that
State, and the House then added Georgia
to the States named in the resolution
There is much sharp criticism among the
Radicals over the language of Mr.. Sew
.rd's proclamation, but they aver that now
he amendment is all right in spite of
him." With this amendment in the Con-
,titution will be caused loss of one aud
two members of the House from
Maryland and three from Kentucky. with
] corresponding diminution in the electo-
raj votes of the two States, which, if the
Presidential contest should be close, may
be matter of considerable Importance.

Mr.. EDITOR: The CHRONICLE is circu

is always an anxious crowd at the post
office inquiring for it when the mail brings
it in weekly. 1t is more looked for, ant
more eagerly read than any other paper
that Uncle Sam sends this way. There
are some who would not subscribe to if
yet they will borrow and read it with al
the interest and gusto of bona 1ade sub
scribers.
1t had been whispered around that there
was to be letter from Arena published
in it occasionally so when last weeks
issue arrived there was a general feeling
of satisfaction expressed among the bust
ness men and others to know that the
merits and advantages of this village were
to have place in its columns. There
was quite smile created amongst the low
ers of tobacco to find they had been no.
ticed there are not many gentlemen here
but use it in some form or other. 1t
is considered the life of trade, most of the
storekeepers having box filed with it
lying on their counters which is free to all
who wish to enjoy smoke.
improvements are constantly going on.
Hans Moe, Norwegian, is building fine
looking store opposite the railroad depot.
It will be ready for the reception Of goods
in few weeks. aF3
A tailor,shop is expected to be in opera
ton soon, as two gentlemen were here
and rented building for that purpose.
S. j. Yorker, the lumber king, has, dur
ing the past few weeks, laid in stock of
half million feet of excellent lumber.
Rumor has it that another lumber-yar is
to be started here next spring by gen.
tleman of large experience, and we'll
versed in the business.
Parties have been here looking for a
site for flour and grist-mill.
Through the courtesy of E. R. Bovee,
Railroad Agent, l learn that there has
been shipped from this station to the east,
during the month of November-s76 live
hogs; u head of cattle; and 4OuO bush
els of wheat.
Messrs. Barnard & Meigs have dissolved
partnership, G. G. Meigs carrying on the
store, and John Barnard carrying on the
business of buying grain and live stock.
He is gentleman of large experience in
the business. His warehouse is model
of perfection.
Next week your correspondent proposes
to give the readers of the CHRONICLE de-
scription of a new dwelling-house erected
up among the bluffs by DR.. VIM. H. Bris-
bane, one of our wealthiest citizens, and
one who takes an active part in all move
ments connected with the interests of
