OUR Democratic Legislature act like

Is nothing manly about them. They
sneak around corners, dodge into dark

In curtained back rooms, print their bills

THE oHto bBGIsLATURE AND THE
IAPH AMENDNENT.


hciniecent haste made by the back
3cjiohists in the Ohio Legislature in re-
sounding the joint resolutions passed by
n former session adopting the Consttu-
tionsl Amendment, known as Article IA,
IS not likely to prove very beneficial TO
the IA, or to interfere much with the ulti-
mase adoption of the Amendment. It's
said that the glorious election result in
the Eighth district is partly attributable
to this revolutionary movement on the
part Of the Democracy. Whether this is
so or not, the Democratic party will not
derive any prestige from movement of
such doubtful propriety, and questiona-
bic authority.
The resolutions of the Legislature were,
on Friday last, presented in both Houses
of Congress and elected. pretty general
comment.
Mr.. Sumner tRep.) said the action of
the Legislature was most unprecedented.
n State having once given its assent to
an Amendment to the Constitution, had
no power to withdraw it, and the resolu-
tions of this Legislature were u mere
by7aeja .fuimcn.
Reverdy Johnson (Dem.) said Senator
Summer was right in saying that the as
sent of State given once, there was no
power to withdraw, but wrong as to the
other assertion that the l4th Amendment
had been legally ratified. The resolutions
were referred.
In the House, they were referred to the
Judiciary Committee, who wereinstruct-
ed to report whether the State has a right
to Withdraw its assent.
This is, probably, the ond of this extra
judicial action. The next movement
will be to disfranchise portion OF the
citizens of Ohio, 10y law in violation Of
the decisions of the Supreme Court of
the State. What do these Democrats care
abont the constitutonality of their laws?
The law, the Constitution, and the decis-
ions of the Supreme Court are all well
enough with them, when the interests of
their party are subserved by obeying and
respecting them, but are all to be treated
with contempt, and swept away by par
tisan feeling like chaif before the whirl-
wind, when the success OF the Democrat
ic party requires it.
This session of the Ohio Legislature,
will prove great blessing to the Repub-
lican party. Its reactionary, partisan
legislation will thoroughly heal up all
dissentions in our ranks, and give us in
the next election our old thirty thousand
majority.

p BESIDES the reductions in the cxpen-
SEES of the Government already referred
to, Il further reduction Of nearly $7,000,-
900 has been made in the appropriations
for Judicial and Legislative expenses for
the ensuing year--a saving of more than
half compared with the expenses of last
year. 1t is by such strokes of economy
that the Republican party is rcdceming
its pledges made to the country to econ
omise the expenses and reduce taxation.

hundred million has already been made,
and still the work goes vigorously on.

NEK..LERSEY.

Two things only were ever needed to carry
New-Jcrsey for Grant: 1. That those who
would have it so should have faith and try;
9 That they should adequately provide against
fraud at the polls.
The former point is already secured. New
jersey is all alive for Grant. No party was
ever before so well prepared in August for a
Presidential struggle as the Republicans are
to-day and they are working better and better
each day. They have already Grant clubs in at
least half the townships and wards; they will
have them in twO-t birds of the residue within
a month. They will be fully organized in the
cities. where the fraudulent votes are mainly
pollcd, so that the facilities to fraud created
10y the late infamous Legislature in repeating
the Registry act and that which closed the
polls uniformly at sunset will not prove half
so efficient as they were intended to be. The
enthusiasm for Grant and Colfax is already
general and fcrveut while every day increases
it. At the meeting in New Brunswick on
Tuesday night at least five thousand voters
surrounded the stand--more than ever voted
the Republican ticket in that County. We
shall carry both the City and County mid
dlesex) for Grant though the former went
500 and the latter three to one against us
last FAN. The highest Republican vote ever
pollcd in the State Gov. Wards in 'Gj) was
$685.; the highest Democratic vote (McClel-
lan's in 90 was Gs,03l We shall now poll
5000 votes for Grant; and we don't want
one that is not that of legal voter to make
up the tally while all over 10000 that are put
in for Seymour will be those of the wretches
who though provided with bogus Naturaliz-
alton papers, know right well that they are
not naturalized. and that they are defrauding
honest men of their rights by voting, just as
they did last Spring in Jersey City when they
defeated Mayor Gopsll by wholesale fraud
polling in one ward over 500 votes, when
there are less Than 400 citizens who reside
there. But we shall be ready for them this
Fall, and wo to him who offers to vote lille
gally There are still district attorneys and
Judges in Ncw-Jersey who do not participate
in and profit by the corruption of the Suffrage
as the swindcrs win find to their sorrow.
If we have ever distrusted the Republicans
of New-Jersey we ask their pardon. Since
we have looked in their glad faces, We KNOW
that they are not to be beaten

The Cable dispatch on the war in Paraguay
which we publish this morning, shows that we
were right, a few weeks ago, in doubling the
report of the fall of Humaita, the great strong
hold of Paraguay. Humaita has not only not
fallen, but the news which we publish this
morning, and which we believe will be found
to be substantially correct, seems to indicate
that Humata will cause the fall of the alliance.
For some time it had been reported from Brazil
that public opinion became more and more
impatient in its demand for peace; that the war
party was aware of the impOssibiity of carrying
on the war for several years more, and that,
therefore, it had been resolved to concentrate
the flower of the allied army for a great and
decisive attack upon the position of the Presi-
dent of Paraguay.
The result of this attack is described by the
dispatch in this mornings issue. 1t was one of
the most disastrous defeats which has yet been
suffered by the Allies since the beginning Of
the war. After such failure, there will be
few prominent men in Brazil and the Argen-
tine Republic who will deem it possible TO
carry through the original programme. They
will be less obstinate with regard to the offer
of mediation, which has repeatedly been made
by the United States, and the propositions of
peace which have been several times made to
them by President Lopez. Hitherto the Allies
! have even refused to enter into any negotia-
! ton with Lopez, in accordance with one of the
articles of the Triple Alliance. We hope the
new President of the Argentine Republic and
the new Ministry in Brazil will pursue a more
sensible course, and take the conclusion of an
! honorable peace into serious and immediate
! consideration.

THE UJCEEDEST MAN

Literature is full of types, and society is fond
Of impcrsonations. We are mover so well
pleased rs when we get hold of The Man Of
This" or "The Man of That "The Man
"of the World "The Man of Feeling"
:" Tho Man of independence The Man of
Refinement" So, too, in history, we read not
only of " The Man in an Iron Mask but of
The Man in Claret-Coored Coat" The
h" Man with n Carpet-Bagn "The Man who
Struck Billy Patterson" and " The Man who
Read the Monikins.' SO, too in the lower
strata of domestic life there is some
thing touching in the simplicity with
which an aflectionate wife sometimes speaks
of my Man" In poetry, there is The Last
"Man," and in prose, again, "The Man
without Country" To conclude the cata-
logue, Mr.. Pope celebrated "The Man Of
Ross and some of our city newspapers
have raised to equal fame and honor

and by harlots dear TO the nautical nature.
He was here discovered by missionary, who
resolved to convert him. No sooner said than
done. John was converted simultaneously,
like the Apostle Paul. John announced to the
missionary his intention of going out of the
bad business. The missionary announced the
intention Of John to believing and admming
public. Then followed portraits of John in
the pictorial weekly newspapers. The moral
and immoral world was stirred
from circumference TO center. The
moral and immoral world demanded pictures
of Johns residence, and got what it demanded
The conversations of John with various per-
sons were graphically reported. 1t turned out
however land this was rather a drawback and
a damper), that although John was determined
to quit the business, he was equally deter
mined not to quit it until the First of May, A. ID.
1869. Until the arrival of that cheerful ami
versary, there will be dancing, and drinking and
the other delights, in Johns halls Of pleasure.
Only about nine more months of inquty !
Only about two hundred and seventy more
nights of revel and riot, of swillng and
swearing, and then John, with Religion upon
one side and Chastity upon the other, would
retire to some purer region, there to consum-
mate his private regeneration! The mis-
sionares were delighted The reporters

GEN BUTLER AND TIE Spoons,


Gen. Butler has called down upon his head
an enormous load of Rebel lies, probably be-
cause of three facts in his career, which, unlike
the insnuatiOns relative TO Spoons and
Stealing" can be easily substantiated
/. He hanged a Rebel. AS steadfast Op-
ponents of capital punishment We dsapprove
this portion of his career.
2. He compelled the ladies' Of New-Orleans
to treat our soldiers with respect. AS cham
pions of gallantry and politeness between the
sexes we see no objection TOT this.
3. He collected from the Rebels while in
New-0rleans, by systematic assessments, the
money with which he supported, fed. clothed.
and paid his army and the navy attached to
his force and with which he paid the expenses
of the City Government of New-Oreans, in
GLIDING his measures for cleansing and disin-
fecting that cty-making it healthier than it
ever was beforehand providing for it most
efficient police; and after discussing all these
expenses he paid over to the Treasury of the
United States a net surplus of over eleven
millions of dollars. Secretary Chase remarked
that if all our Generals were like Butler be could
not only carry on the war without greenbacks,
but without gold. There were generals who
gave DO trouble to the enemy and a great deal
of trouble to the Secretary of the Treasury.
Their war was on the Treasury and the pockets
of loyal men, not on the Rebels. Butler how
ever, gave no trouble to the Secretary of the
Treasury, and made the Rebels walk in that
straight, chaste, and elegant manner for which
the Spanish are so widely celebrated. This
suilices to account for the popularity among
Rebels and COpperheads of those Generals who
nearly bankrupted our Treasury, and the I'M
popularity of Gen. Butler among the same
classes.

They manage things differently in England
from what We do in America. When it was
proposed to erect a statue to Lord Brougham,
Mr.. Disraeli and Mr. Gladstone both felt that
it would be hazardous to make any appropria-
ton, because most of the public statues had
been failures, and there was some doubt as to
whether the work would be properly done.
In America we generally vote the money in
advance, give the artist room in the Capitol.
and buy whatever is made. Look at the pic
ture of Mr.. Leutze, for instance, which dis
figures the walls of the House of Representa-
tives, and read the terms of the contract with
Miss Winnie Ream. Il is no wonder that the
Fine Arts in America, so far as public works are
concerned, rise lite above painting, glazing,
and white-washing.
