The Fifteenth, Amendment.

A prominent. Democrat contrib
.utes the following sensible article
to the Miami Union, in which he
urges the adoption of the 10th
Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.
The issues presented in the Fif-
teenth Amendment, will be submit
ted to the people of ohio for their
consideration in the coming polit-
ical campaign.
1t seems that our present Legis-
lators fear to place themselves upon
the record in regard to this question.
Although the majority of the mem
bers in each branch of tue Legisla-
ture are Democrats, yet, they excuse
themselves from voting against the
ratification of the proposed Amend
ment upon the plea, that it ought to
be passed upon by the people.
Accepting the issue as presented
and believing that the ratification of
I the fifteenth Amendment is tie on
! ly settlement that can ever be made
of this vexed question of Negro
Suffrage; we think the people of
Ohio, irrespective of party infiu-
ences, should SO vote, as to forever
dispose of this issue in political
circles.
1t seems to US that the proposed
amendment certainly operates fairly
upon all the States-what is right
for Alabama should be right for
Ohio-they both being free States
having Governments republican in
form.
We. by Congressional enactments
forced Negro Suffrage upon the late
rebellious States, and if it is proper
that the negro shall exercise the
elective franchise in the South, what
good reason is there for denying it
to him in the North ?
1t is q proposition that operates
equally alike in all parts of the
Union. The colored man of Ohio
has guaranteed to him, by this
Amendment, the same rights and
privileges he would be entitled to
were he resident of South Caro-
lima. A citizen Of the United States
is equally citizen of any of the
States. We believe it to be the
sacred duty of every citizen of our
State, to earnestly and fairly ex-
anime and discuss the proposition
contained in the fifteenth Amend
mcnt, so that at the coming election
such verdict may be rendered by
the people in the popular vote as to
settle this question for all future
time

noble chieftains who commanded
the soldiers around the Gulf. After
the war the young man wandered
about through the Gulf States and
finally located in Texas where his
fathers former wife lived. She had
resumed her maiden name, and was
the proprietress of large and we'll
paying hotel, where she had accu-
mulated an immense fortune. Ar
irving at the village the young man
stopped at the hotel, and was well
provided for by the enterprising
matron. Neither knew the relation
of one to the other, and although
there is vast difference in their ages
he but a STRIPPING youth, and she
a we'll preserved, comley woman of
forty-an intimacy sprang up be-
tween them which ripened into af-
fection and resulted in the PROPOSE
ton by the young man, of marriage.
He was accepted, and in a few days
the quiet hotel was the scene of
marriage revelry. Thus the solemn
wedding ceremony united a man to
the wife of his father-his mother
nearly-and to the would be assas-
sin of his father. Verify truth is

A Man NIarries his Mother.

1t will be remembered by many
of our citizens that at a wedding
which was solemnized near Rusty
hut, Ga, sometime IN 1885, that the
brides, father was killed in the
difficulty with the brother of her
husband. This occurrence is, per
hapse. brought too readily to the
minds Of many of our readers. 1t
is, to those acquainted with the cir
cumstance, known that the bride OF
but few hours attempted to kill
her husband with a pistol. The
wife and husband parted She went
to an interier village in Texas, and
he remained until the war peaceably
upon his plantation--although he
married in the meantime, and to him

How Phil. Kearney Died.

The Newark Courier says: We
are informed by prominent lawyer
of this city that while sojouruing in
Amboy, one night last week, he
passed a pleasant hour in company
with former rebel officer, who was
attached to Stonewall Jackson's S
division of the Confederate army
during the war, and who related an
interesting 'reIniniscence of the
death Of General Kearney, of which
sad event he was an witness.
"The gallant Kearney," he said,
''reccived his death wound from a
private under my command, and
when he fell from his horse, l
FASTENED, with many Others, to the
point where he lay, not supposing
that his wound was a mortal one.
just as we reached his body, how
ever, his limbs gave one convulsive
quiver, and then all was over. See
ing that he was Major General,
word was sent to headquarters to
that effect, and General Jackson
coming to the spot Immediately
gave one glance at the dead officers
features, and exclaimed, MY God,
BOYS, do you know who you have
killed? You lave shot the most
gallant officer in the United States
army. This is Phil. Kearney, who
lost his arm in the Mexican war;
He then involuntarily lifted his hat.

his example, and for moment
reverential silence was observed by

dead soldier was placed upon two
boards. and when being removed to
headquarters was followed by Gen
eral Jackson, General Ewell and
other officers, while a reoimental
band preceded it playing a dead

Obituary-EdWard Bates.

The death of the Hon. Edward
Bates, which occurred at St. Louis
on Thursday evening last, has de-
prived the country of one OF its
purest and not least able public men.
Though a native of one slave State,
and long a resident of another slave
holding community, he showed his
fidelity to freedom by emancipating
his slaves, and by his cordial adj
herence to the Republican party
soon after its formation. An incor-
ruptible official, an able lawyer, a
cultivated scholar, and exemplary
in all the relations of domestic and
civil life, he has left behind him an
example for all to follow. He was
horn in Goochland county, Va,
Septem Der 4, 1893, was educated in
Maryland, served in the Virginia
militia during the war of 1872,
studied law with his brother in
st. Louis. and began its study in
1876 He speedily rose in reputa-
ton, becoming Prosecuting Attor-
nev for the ST. Louis Circuit in
1918, and Attorney General of
Missouri in 1890 He was mem
Der of the first Constitutional Con
vention Of the new State. and after
ward of its Legislature. Under
President Monroe he held the posi-
ton of United States District At
tornev. and in 1926 was elected to
Congress for one term. He de-
clined Cabinet appointment from
President Fillmore, on the ground
of the inadequacy of the salary. and
was soon after chosen Judge Of
St. Louis Land Court.
In 1856, he presided over the
Old Line Wing Convention, at
Baltimore, but soon gave in his
adhesion to the Republican move
ment He received some votes for
President at the Chicago Conven-
ton of 1860, at which Mr. Lincoln
was nominated, and on the latter s
election, was offered and excepted
the Attorney Gencralship. He held
the place nearly four years, and
then retired into private life.
Though not so well known as
many more active politicians, he
was known and appreciated through
out the country. Harvard College,
not prodigal in the distribution of
its honors, conferred on him the
degree Of Doctor of Laws, in 1858,
and has seldom more Worthiiy
hastoMed it.=Cin. Gazetfe.

Modern Economy OF Time.


One man can spin more cotton
yarn now than four hundred men
conld have done in the same time
in 1896, when Arkwright. the best
cotton-spinner, took out his first
patent. One man can make as
much -four in day now as a hun
dred and fifty could a century ago.
One woman can now make as much
lace in a day as u hundred women
could hundred years ago. 1t now
requires only as many days to re
fine sugar as it did months thirty
years ago. It once required six
months to put quicksilver on glass
now it requires only forty minutes.

Tenure of Office bill Whatever the
action Of the Senate may be, we
presume that the President will see
his course to be plain. The initia-
tive in executive administration
belongs to him. If he is of opin-
ion that the public welfare requires
the removal of an officer he should
nominate successor, and leave to
the Senate the responsibility of re-
tanning him. But there is no reason
for the President or for the country
to fear that the Senate wishes to
thwart the Presidents desire Of a
vigorous and honest administration.
If it does, if it should plainly con-
nive at corruption or inet1iciency, by
refusing to confirm those whom the
President might name for the pur-
pose of pure administration. the
Senate would certainly be held to
the strictest accountability. The
President is responsible for his
"judgment" in suggesting the re-
removal of civil officers But, as
Senator Conkling truly said, it is
useless to suppose that he can not
remove except for reasons that
could be maintained in court OF
justice.
The President is not q man to be
dismayed by difficulties, and with
an able and harmonious Cabinet ;
with a Congress friendly and not
servile; and with the universal con-
lidence of the country, his admins
tration is not likely to disappoint
the anticipations which the hope of
his election excited.

Lord Palmerston is reported

Lord Palmerston is reported to
have given the following advice;
eff man who was married once.
and had the good fortune to bury
his wife, is fool enough to marry
again, by all means let him marry
his deceased wife's sister; as then
at any rate, he will only be afflicted
with one mother-in- law"
That was as hard upon mother
in-law, as was the advice of an old
bachelor upon the subject of mar
rying q widow. Said he, off you
marry widow, be sure and select
one whose husband was hanged !;
then you will never be troubled by
your wife's Reminiscence other dear
departed. 90. Herald.

THE Boston Traveller says: "In
the years Of 1872 George S. Bout
well was Governor of Massachu-
setts, Henry Wilson was President
of the Senate, and Nathaniel p.
Banks was Speaker of the House of
Representatives. It was quite a
new era in the politics of this State.
They held the three most important
political offices in the Common
wealth. They were all young men,
educated in the public schools,
without any powerful friends to
lean upon or great influences in
their favor"

We have received from Messrs
J. L. Read & Son, 102 Fourth
avenue, a neatly bound, gilt edged
pocket Bible, printed on fine white
paper, such Bible as we remember
having paid eighty-seven cents for,
but which we are informed is now
sold for the small trifie of thirty
four cents. This price, if we are
not mistaken, is as low as the
average English rates. We can see
no reason why there should not be

The Adcance, an able journal,
thus discourses on the subject of
securing letter observance of the
Sabbath day. We think it's sug-
gestions will be read with interest
and profit by our people. 1t says ::
The only hope of success, in such
a city as Chicago, in an effort to
close the liquor saloons on Sunday,
is in a movement which shall draw
together the most diverse elements
Of influence upon common ground.
That ground must notbe directly
religious one, especially if it involve
the dogma Of a part only of the
community. Neither must it be
that of total abstinence men in their
advocacy Of a prohibitory law. 1t
must be simply that Of q needed
police regulation to preserve public
order on public day. The law
recognizes the first day of the week
as the one used by the vast majority
Of the community fer public and
social worship, and interposes to
prevent disturbing noise, and con
fusion. It also recognizes this
same day as that upon which the
people enjoy their weekly rest from
labor, and on which consequently,
as on holidays or days Of election,
they are liable to unusual tempta
ton to injurious indulgence, es-
pecially as then the poor have their
weeks wages in their pockets.
Hence upon the same principle
which, in some states, secures a
law forbidding the sale of liquor
upon days Of political election, as a
simple police precaution, all friends
Of morally and good order might
unite in suppressing the public sale
of liquor upon Sunday, even where
it is permitted upon the other days
of the week. IL this, Jews and
Gentiles, Christians and skeptics,
Romanists and Protestants, re,
strictionists and prohibitiopists.
moderate drinkers and total absti-
nence men might agree without
waiving their distinctive principles
We confess that we see no hope of
success on any ground more di-
visive, however higher it might be
in its own nature, or more inGuen-
tial with some minds.

the two Houses of Congress, as to
what action should be had on this
memorable Law.
The Senate declares in favor of
modification; the House refuses to
concur and demands unconditional
repeal.
Our common sense view of the
matter is, that inasmuch as tae law

treachery and infidelity of Andrew
