THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.-Demo-
cratic Conventions all over the country are
passing resolutions denouncing the proposed
Fifteenth amendment to the Constitution and
characterizing it as an uudisguiSed attempt
to bring the country under the control of the
inferior races The more weak .kneed radi-
cal papers fight shy of the amendment, end
as far as they can endeavor to have it kept
out OF sight. Occasionally, however, we meet
paper like the Ohio State journal, which
blurts out its sentiments honestly, and here
is the manner in which it presents the Prin-
ciples of its party:
"Let US have no Sinking or dodging on the
Fifteenth Amendment. 1t is the essence of what
we struggled for during all these years. Uptil
this Government shall be in fact what it has al
ways been in theory-a government founded on
the consent of all the governed, irrespective of
race, color, class or religion-our work is not
complete, the job is not workmanlike. Give US
this gusranty-that every one shall have an
equal consenting voice in govcrnment-and we
rest. We believe that Congress, without the
Amendment, has the right under the Constitu-
ton, to regulate the matter but it is well to be
secure. We carry no additional weight in the
Fifteenth Amendment. Every election for nearly
ten years has been fought with this ultimate OBJ
jectiye point in view, and nothing hut the cows
ardice of milk ,and-water conservatives has post
poned it to the fall elections of 1869 to settle the
question finally. 1t will be no great distance in
the future when our children will look with
amazemeut upon the historical assertion that we
| protesting to be republicans, judged of a mans
capacity and righ: to vote by his color, the kink
of his hair, the width and elevation Of his nose
the length of his heel, or the shape of his shin>
bone"
We have looked in vain for a more com.
pletc and satisfactory explanation of radical
views and principles than is contained in the
above quoted paragraph. 1t is an honest,
open and frank avowal of the aims and objects
of rsdicalism. We commend the declarations
therein contained to our conservative read
ers who heretofore have been acting with
the republican party:

hbton at first most actively employed But the remedy
afforded in relation to these Courts found useful in
other Court which misconstrued Act Of Parliament and
therefore did not properly exercise its Jurisdiction.
As said in Nahans case the Courts Of South Carolina
have found occasion to enlarge the relief afforded by prohb
on and onors cannot exclude from view that according
constitution the authority conferred upon this tribunal
degned made most extensive for supervisory control
M other Courts in this State power at least great and
extensive that conferred upon any similar Court in the
United States The language is emphatic "The Supreme
Court shall aa hat at all times and in any stage of the
proceedings have power to issue wrts Of junction. etc. and
such other original and remedial wrs ry be necessary to
give general supervisory control all other Courts the
State" Now if prohibition is mode whereby this super
vision may be accomplished and Of that there be doubt
then according to the constitution this Supreme Court is bound
exercise that power whenever inferior Court may appear
to it not to have proceeded according to law
The question of the then comes up has there been
proceeding which is not according to law?
This brings us to the consideration of Act No. A. Now
the Court will allow to observe that striking ont the
eighth section the statute almost wholly conforms to the
existing legislation tho State the subject; tho only diff
ference being that instead of application made formerly
to the Court and the valuation made by commissioners 1T
Circuit Judge and the valuation shall be made by jury But
no where said that such application shall be made at

This is all that we know about
the United Kingdom since she
last left her harbor in these
waters. 1t is now a long time
since April 10Th; April is gone;
May and June have followed ,
and now we have entered upon
July; but the fate of the United
Kingdom is still unknown.
That she has persisted with all
on board it is reasonable TO
conclude; but from what cause,
or in what circumstances, we
are left to conjecture. On the
Goth Of April, six days after
the United Kingdom sailed, the
City Of Paris arrived in this
port and reported icebergs and
heavy gales in the neighbor-
hood of Cape Race. 1t is pos
sible that the United Kingdom
perlshed amid these gales, ana
probably from collision with
an iceberg. 1t is hard to give
up hope, but we are not left
any foundation on which longer
to lean. Like the Hibernia, of
painful memory, the United
Kingdom has no doubt gone
down; but, unlike the Hibernia,
has, in all probability, carried
with her her entire living
freight. 1t is in fact another
terrible sea tragedy-all the
more terrible, in truth, that no
one has survived to tell the
tale.

The following anecdote has
been making considerable fun
among the Berliners; A short
time ago the eldest--tourteen
year old--daughter of Princess
Frederick Charles and the
eight-year old daughter of the
Grown Princess were in the
gallery ola photographer, AS
the first named was being seated
for her portrait, the operator
addressed her as 'Gnadiges
Fraulein '-Gracious Miss "a
polite term usually applied by
Germans to ladies Of wealth or
respect, when he was quickly
reproved with the remark, Il
am accustomed to be addressed
with 'Konigliche Hoheit -
Royal Highness. The pho
tographer stammered out an
excuse, when Interrupted by
the young daughter of the
Crown Princess with the
words THAT is all the same
to me; you can address me as
you like, would like best of
all to hear you call me 'Dicke
Lotte Fiat Lottie' AS my
father always calls me.

Something for sorosis 10 Co

SatasEs
Here is something for the
platform of the next female
convention. 1t must be true,
for it is in all the newspapers.
Bismarck says that he always
intrusts difficult commissions
to men with spirited and am
bilious wives. When Bis
lnarck said it, or whom he said
it to, we grieye that we are not
Informed. The ill-natured
might aver that men with
spirited wivesss are frequently
in that desperate state which
makes the most hazardous en-
terprise welcome; their lives
having lew charms, and their
homes none at all.
We do not deny that public
men may be caudled into doing
wise things or avoiding foolish
ones, but it is equally true that
there have been numberless
distinguished male characters
whose wives cut no figure in
history at all. Solomon was a
wise character, but who knows
any thing of the many Lady
Solomons? or Of Mrs. Cicero?
or of Mrs. Demosthenes? or of
the wife of Gen, Joshua of the
Israelite army? Everyh body
knows that the Queen Of Charles
the First g t her husband into
various hobbies, which in the
end cost him his anointed head.
Napoleon's first wife was a
sensual, extravagant, and rath-
er silly woman-his second, a
pretty puppet, trained in the
school of Austrian etiquette.
The wife of Talleyrand was a
fool. The wife of George the
Third (old Charlotte) constant
ly meddled with matters which
did not concern her, and made
endless trouble. However, as
we wish for first-rate and en-
tirely trustworthy information,
we think of writing to Mr..
Brigham Young on the sub
.ject; and, if we ever do so, and
if that patriarch and polyga-
mist ever answers our letter, we
shall hasten to print it for the
benefit ofall doubling Thomases
among the husbands. -Tri-

The Ecumenical CoMncsi.

Prince Charles de Hohenlohe
SchilIingsfurst, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of Bavaria, has
requested the Cabinets of the
other States composing the
South German Confederation
to propose the following ques-
tons to the Theological Facnl-
ties of all the Universities in
their respective States. l.
What theoretical and practical
changes, with respect to the
relations of Church and State,
would result from resolution
Of the Ecumenical Council pro-
claiming the infallibility of the
Pope and the doctrine of the
Syllabus, to be dogmas of the
Church ? 2. Will the teachers
OF ecclesiastical law, in that
case, feel bound to teach the
divinely instituted supremacy
OF the Pope over temporal
sovcreigns, as an article of
faith binding on the consciences
OF all Christians? 3. Will
they feel bound to consider
The real and personal immuni-
ties Of the clergy divine right
and therefore an article of faith
binding on the consclences of
all Christians 4. Are there
critelia by which it can be de
termined whether the declara-
tions OF the Pope are spoken Elk
cathedra, and have therefore
dogmatic power, being binding
on the consciences of all Chris
tians2 If so, what are these
criteria2 5. What influence
would resolutions of the Coun-
ell on the above points have on
the education of the people

France The Governmental
Crisis.

Paris, July 9, l869.-The
governmental crisis in France
increases in intensity. The
members of the constitutional
opposition in the Crops Legis-
l;ttif declare as their ultimatum
that nothing short Of the re-
tirtment Of NJ. Rouher will
satisfy the. Them Emperor de-
sires his retirement, but hest
tates to dismiss him on account
OF the Minister devotion and
ability in discharging the du-
ties of his position. NJ.
Rouher's failure to comply
with the evident wish of the
Emperor is severely criticised.
Yesterday the proprietor of
one of the leading journals
said IN. Rouher; your time
has come.-leave-decamp-
clear out
Il know it, answered the
Minister, 'but my wife won t
resign, which is literally
true, as Madame objects to
give up palace honors. The
Emperor will wait meantime
till this little domestic trouble
is settled.
The majority ofthe Assembly
are opposed to the propositions
of the left centre, which in the
first instance demands a respon-
sible ministry, and secondly,
the autonomy Of the Asse bly,.
The Emperor is, therefore
obliged to parley with the OPP
position, the majority of whom
do not wish to defy him openly
and hence the legislative dead
lock, which must be brought
TO an end in the course of next
week.

1t is said that Fisk recently
received, from an admirer out
on the Pacific Road,a couple OF
enormous white owls, such as
would have made Barnum in
the palmiest days dance with
delight Fisk didn't know
what to do with them. They
couldn't dance the ballet, nor
play the toot horn successfully;
and, after some deliberation,
he dispatched them, with his
compliments, to his friend Bar
nard. The Judge has received
many congratulations and sug-
gestions with regard to the val
liable gift. One irreverent
young legal sprig said to him :
Judge, you know that Judge

vacation; put one ofthe owls on
each side of you, and hold a

N,sEA,

Congress win have finger In the Cuba
affair. 1t Is stated by g well-iniorme q letter
writer that Senator MORTON aud Represent
atives BINGHAM and BUTLER intend to advo-
cate the cause of Cuba, and that they have
prepared speeches on the subject, which
they will let off at an early period. Mr..
BINGHAM was opposed to Cuban recogni-
ton last year, but he has found that the
mine is worth working, we suppose, ana
intends to 80 in with his implements.
The parties are getting hard run for plat
form blanks, and the waters Of party reVo-
luton are rising rapidly. Partisans are
endcayoring to employ their forecast to the
best advantage. BUTLER is smart /; he looks
ahead, and sees, or thinks he sees, that
Cuba is to figure largely in the next grand
canvass. May be so, and may be not. Inc
trouble will be to get an issue upon Cuna-
70 have two sides. And, furthermore, tley
who attempt to raise an issue would be eiao
to have not only the right to choose the sloe
| most Dopular, but to force those who amer
with them on other points to take the I'M
popular side. In this aspiration we con-
lecture there will be disappointment. ANY
scheme not absolutely outrageous that at
taches Cuba to this country-to when by
every consideration of convenience ana IN
terest it ought to belong-will be popular
in the United States. 1t will be sustained
by the great body of the people ana
Messrs. MORTON, BINGHAM, ana BUTLER
will not be able to get up any great part!
