The States and the Fifteenth Anne ndment.
By the means of lacking on of the require
ment to the Virginia, Mississippi and Texas
reconstruction act, that those States shall a.
dept the Fifteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tuition, it is calculated that that amendment
viii become an article Of the fundamental law
by the spring Of 1870. Counting these three
States, without Ohio, Indiana and Georgia,
twenty-nine States, it is believed, will ratify
that article, one more than is necessary. SO
far, twenty-one States have adopted the a.
amendment, viz: Maine, Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennes-
see, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,,
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Neva-
da, Arkansas, Louisiana and Kansas. The
notifications of Kansas and Missouri, however,
are known to be informal. Four States, YER
mont, Rhode Island. Connecticut and New
Hampshire, it is believed, will ratify the a.
mendment during the present year. Georgia
and Indiana are both Doubtful having
been defeated once in the former State, in
part by Republican votes. and the Democrats,
in the Legislature Of the latter, refusing to re-
main 10 their seats whenever it is called up,
thus preventing the presence of constitu-
tioual quorum.

Mr.. Sprague's Speeches.

A correspondent of the New York Herald
recently had an interview with Mr. Sprague
Senator from Rhode Island, on the subject Of
his late startling speeches The Senator says
he intends to keep at his work and not fold
his arms and see the country 60 to the devil
He confesses to being crazy in the sense that
all great reformers are crazy. He is not bid
ding for the Presidency, and would not take
it unless he was permitted to appoint whom
he chose to Office. In a big bundle of letters
asking for copies of his late speeches only
two came from Rhode Island, where, he said
the truth about the great family monopoly
was unpalatable. st

by it of little story: A colored man, with
a loaf Of bread and bottle of whiskey, sat

OBITUARY,

On the LIST of March, died in Washington, af-
ter a short disease, Mr. CHARLES A. PYE, in
the 77th year of his age
The writer Of these lines was acquainted with
the subject of this obituary for number of years.
and he can truly say, that he never met with a
more refined gentleman, and a more sincere
christian. As long Providence blessed him
with an abundance of earthly goods, he was
never pulled up with that pride which is the off
spring of riches. but treated alike all his fellow
creatures, looking upon them as children of God
and members of the great human family. His
house always open to everybody, and he
spared no pains and no expense to make his
guests comfortable as long as they thought pro-
per to enjoy his hospitality. When the gene
rosity of his heart and untoward accidents re-
duced him in his circumstances, he continued
to enter tain the kindly feelings for all, and
submitting to all the inconvenience of his new
situation, like Job, blessed the Lord who had
given, and taken away. His charity towards
the poor knew no bounds, and when the means
of r, lieving them failed him, he would represent
their wants to his rich friends. and procure them
the necessaries of life. He never made vain
display of his religion. but the fervor which he
showed in all the spiritual exercises, and the
respect which he always manifested to the So.
creu ministers, clearly proved that II had struck
deep roots in his heart. A life so we'll spent in
the service of his heavenly Master was crowned
with the death of the just, and affords a well
grounded hope that he has exchanged the mise
ries of this valley of tears for the bliss of ever
lasting joys.

The Constitution and Religion OF Spain.
A draft of the new Spanish Constitution
has been published in the form that it has
been agreed upon by the committee. 1t is,
undoubtedly, great progress over the Con-
stitution under Isabella it is, in some re-
spects, more liberal than the French and Ital-
ian Constitutions, and its provision for the es-
Enlistment of universal suffrage is as liberal
as may be found in any of the European COL
situations. With regard to the articles con-
corning religious freedom, article 20 obliges
the nation to maintain the worship and the
ministers of the Catholic religion. By the
following article resident foreigners receive
the right Of exercising any other worship, and
article % comedies to Spaniards who profess
another religion than the Roman Catholic the
right which the preceding section had con-
ceded to foreigners.

Some of the fish ate Of it, became drunk, and

he easily caught large number. But in the
stream was large fish, very unlike the rest
1t partook freely of the bread and whiskey
with no perceptible effect. 1t was shy of
every effort Of the negro to take it. He re-
solved to have it at all hazards, that he might
learn its name and nature. He procured a
net, and after much effort caught it, carried
it to a colored neighbor, asked his opinion in
the matter. The other surveyed the wonder
a moment, and then said "Sambo, under
stand dis case. Dis fish is mulet head it

ed the Judge, "alcoLol affects only the brains,
and of course those having none may drink
without injury The storm of laughter
which followed drove the moderate drinker"
