OHIO politicians are discussing the
propriety of further action by their Leg
islaturs on the XVIII Article, which was
rejected in that State last winter by the
temporary Democratic ajority. "A few
among our Republican friends propose
that the next Legislature, in which our
majority is considered certain, should
reconsider that rejection, and ratify the
Article. Fortunately, no such sugges-
tion IL likely to have the official coun-
tenance Of the party. 1t is very pro-
perly considered that the action OF
State once taken, whether affirmatively
or negatively, is decisive, exhausting Its
Constitutional functions In respect of
the Article submitted. Upon the op-
posite doctrine to this, it would also be
necessary to concede the legality of the
movements in Ohio and New Jersey.
by Democratic Legislatures, for the
withdrawal of the assent which these
States had respectively given to the
XIVth Article. In this view, the lead
ing Republicans of Ohio have the con-
currence Of the Democracy, who prefer
to their opposition to the X1vth,
that they may bind the State more alb
solutely to its rejection of the XVIII last
winter. In fact, they incline to make
any sacrifice rather than to admit some
Ave thousand Of their colored males to
the suffrage. It lis clear, therefore. that

The Piftesnth Amendment.

The Florida ratification makes, we
believe, the twenty-fifth State that has
ratified the Fifteenth Amendment of
the Constitution, providing for impair
tial suffrage to male citizens above the
age of twenty-one, throughout the Uni
ted States, without distinction of race
or color. The whole number of States
at present is thirty-seven. The approx
al by the Legislatures of three-fourths
of these thirty-seven il necessary to fix
this amendment as part Of "the supreme
law of the land" Twenty-eight, there
fore, being necessary, three more will
yet be needed to meet the requisiticn.
Under the last reconstruction law
(signed by President Grant, Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas, as condition
precedent to restoration to Congress are
required to ratify this amendment
Rhode Island and Vermont will ratify
it. In short, with the reassembling of
Congress in December, we my expect
impartial suffrage to be proclaimed as
fixed in the supreme law, with the pow
er to Congress to enforce it; and SO, after
this year, the negro vote in allthe States,

taken into all estimates efthe politicians.

A, Norris Mr.. Henkle has been Su-
perintendent of the Public Schools in
Salem for the past six years, and was
formerly connected with the Normal
Schools at Lebanon, Ohio. He was the
Republican nominee for School Com

State the first year after the war began.
Mr.. Henkle is pronounced by high au-
thority one of the most accomplished
scholars in the West. He Is not q one
sided man, strong in some things and
weak in others, but Q broad-cultured,
symmetrically developed man. His at

haps best known, but he Is distinguish
ed as linguist and philologist and has
written many able articles for the Ohio
Educational Monthly, which have at
tracted the attention of educational men
threughout the State. We are gratified
that the Governor has filled this import

possesses the fullest confidence of the

in the future than in the past will be
