Fifteenth Am ndment.

The overwhelming rejection by the House
of the Senate amendments to the Constitu-
tional Amendment concerning Suffrage,
leaves thut whole question uncertain. The
difference between the two Houses is marked
The Representatives merely sought to guar
antee SUFFRAGE from limitation on account
of race, color, or previous condition of
slavery, thus:
''The right of any citizen Of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States, or any state, by rea-
son of race, or color, or previous condidition
of Slavery, or any citizen or class OF citizens
in the United States"
The Senators extended the guarantee to
oFFIcE-noLpERs as well as suffrage, and make
it apply against any educational, property
nativity, or religious qualification, as we'll
as against any rising out of the old slavery
distinctions:
"No discrimination shall be made in the
United States among the citizens of the
United States in the exercise of the elective
franchise, or in the right to hold Office in any
State. on account of race, color, nativity,
property, education or creed.
When the Senate, which is usually the more
conservative body, WAS found coming UP to
these advanced positions of a genuine Democ-
racy, it was thought probably that the
House would willingly assent. Its decided
refusal makes US far less certain as to the
future of the amendment on which SO many
hopes have been built.

SAD ArPA1R-SEDUcI1oN OF YoUNa GIRL By
BIER BaorHER-N. LAw.-About twelve o'clock
on Saturday morning last, man. (whose name
with that OF the young girl is suppressed for
obvious reasons, but whom we shall designate
as R.,) apparently about thirty-fve years Of
age, accompanied by girl not more than six
teen years OF age, put up at the Waverley
House On KiDg-strest, representing themselves
as man and wife, It was remarked that the
girl appeared to be too young for his wife, but
no suspicion that she vas otherwise than was
repre- ssnted entered the minds Of any who OBJ
served and commented upon her girlish looks.
About nine o'clock Sunday morning Captain
Hendricks, CHIEF of Police, received tele-
gram from Fayetteville, North Carolina, an
nouncing the elopement of a married man with
his sister in law, and requesting him to be on
the look out, as it was thought that the couple
had come to this place. A description Of the
oarties accompanied the request. Captain
Hendricks detailed Officer Reed to work up the
case. After some little, but very shrewd inyesti-
CATION, he found the couple, and arrested them.
The girl was sent homo by the Northeastern
Railroad yesterday morning. The villain who
had ruined her is for the present allowed to
escape the punishment he so richly deserves.
He is represented to be handsome man with q
winning address. The girl is unusually pretty.
K. some years since married the oldest Of
three sisters in one Of the most respect able
families in Fayetteville. She died shortly after
marriage, and, after a reasonable length Of
time, he married tho next oldest, who is still
living, and ~ borne several children to him.
While thus situated he corrupted the youngest
sister, and about week ago ran off with her.
As soon as the elopement was known there was
great excitement in Fayetteville, and the citi-
zsns subscribed literally to defray the expenses
OF party organized to pursue the villain and
rescue his dupe from bis clutches. Fhe party
went to Augusta. Atlanta aud other places, but
heard nothing Of them until their arrest here
on Sunday.
Tho restoration OF this erring girl to the
arms of her parents Is due altogether to tho
ekiltuI management OF Officer Reed who. in
this as in numerous other cases which we
have been called upon to chronicle, has showed
great ability.
