THE NATIONAL CAPITOL
CONVENTION.

There is no doubt that the ques-
zion for the removal Of the Nation
al Capitol to some more central and
Western location, will soon become
important and be lively discussed
throughout the land. A Conven
ton to consider this question was
held in St. Louis last week and con-
cluded it's deliberations by the adop-
tion of the following resolutions.
reported by Joseph Medill, chair
| man of the Committee on resolu-
tions, and adopted unanimously:
"WHEREAs. The present site of the
National Capitol was settled as the
most central point. when the people of
Republic, only a few millions in num-
Der, inhabited only narrow strip along
the Atlantic coast;
"WHEREAs, The population of the Re-
public has increased thirteen fold since
then, and spread over vast continent,
of which the States in existence when
the seat of Government was locat ed
formed only the eastern edge;

the National Capitol is notosiously in

in consequence Of frequent absence,

ting their standing IN the class, and
rendering themselves utterly unable
to advance with the requisite speed
and accuracy as to retain even their
connection with the class at ali
This is brief but lamenlable truth
of hundreds in our public schools
every year. Indeed, so serious are
the loses, resulting from frequent
absence, that parents, even in hum
BILE circumstances, should not detain
their children from school for do
mestic duties, except in cases of alb
solute necessity.
In many branches of study the
subsequent parts, or letters, are SO
' dependent upon what precedes it,
that they are mastered with great
difficulty, if the previous lessons are
not thoroughly and accurately mas
tered. In such subjects, every les
son lost sewers from the chain an
important link, and greatly retards
the future progress Of the pupil ; and
if he has not great thirst for knowl-
edge, an indomitable spirit of enter
prise, it will soon make study dis
agreeable and repulsive task.
Iu view of the foregoing, we ear
nestly beg that you will give to this
subject the solid consideration which
demands, and, if possible aid US il
removing the evil. For no regula
tons that can be made, no disci
pline that can be enforced, are suf
ficient to remove it without the cor.
dial and determined cooperation or
the part Of the parent. Indifference
to the subject on their part, are sure
to paralyze all the efforts of the
teacher. We therefore appeal tc
parents to take early and decided
measures within the circle of domes,

duty, be deemed. by you, raliet

quest that you will visit your scoof

STATUS of the FIFTEENTH
AMENDMENT.

The famous article, known as the
Fifteenth Amendment, which passed
the House of Representatives on the
Goth of last February by vote,
yeas 144, nays A, and on the fol
lowing day, February Goth, 1869, in
the Senate by vote ofyeas SO, and
nays I3, reads as follows:
"ARTICLE ". Sec. 1. The right
of citizens Of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States, or by any
State, on account of race, color, or
previous condition of servitude.
SEC. 2. The Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by ap-
propriate legislation"
Its adoption requires the assent
of twenty-eight States, twenty two
having already given their hearty
and legal assent. rs follows:
Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida,
Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana,
Missouri, Massachusetts, Maine, Mi
chigan, New York, New Hampshire,
Nevada, Nebraska, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, Virginia, and
Vermont.
Iowa, Minnesota, and Rhode Is
land, it is believed, will ratify as
soon as their Legislature convenes.
The addition of these will make
twenty five. Three more are neces-
sary. Well, Texas and Mississippi
are wisely required to ratify by the
reconstruction acts, and doubtlessly
will cheerfully follow the lead of
Virginia in giving their cheerful as
sent to such righteous measure.
We will then have twenty seven.
Only one more vote is necessary.
Ohio will give that, and we are in
clined to believe that Tennessee
will also ratify this Amendment,
We feel confident that the Amend
ment will be part of the Supreme
Law of the Republic before the next
Anniversary of our National Inde-
pendence.

ES- On the question of ratifying
the Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States,
by the Vermont Legislature, the
other day, two Democrats, one of
them, leading member of the
House, voted for it. This is no
bic feature of progress, and we feel
like giving three hearty cheers for
those two Vermont Democrats. We
should not be surprised if some
Democrats would vote for the same
measure next winter in the Ohio
Legislature. Sensible Democrats
must see that it is great folly to
persist in 'kicking against the
pricks."

A Lawyer COWhided.

A case Of assault and battery was
tried before Squire Germany yes
terday afternoon, in which James
Mclaughlin, a butcher, was the
prosecuting witness and Edward
Ivens the defendant. In the course
of his cross examination Of Mr. Nc
Laughlin, Mr. George H. Gaffey,
the attorney for the defense. inquired
of him whether he had ever been
convicted Of chine. Mr. McLaugh-
lin hesitatingly replied that he had.
The next question was whether he
had ever served a term in the Peni
tentiary. Mr.. Mclaughlin did not
want to answer this question. He
appealed to the Squire, and was in
formed that he would have to
answer the inquiry. The witness
then admitted that he had done the
State some service for cutting or
shooting somebody. Having drawn
this confession from his man, Mr..
Gaffey told him that he might stand
aside. Mr.. Mclaughlin stood aside.
He did more than stand aside. He
went outside and bought cowhide.
Returning to the Office just as the
hearing of the case was concluded,
he stepped up to Mr.. Gaffey and
used his recent purchase over hi
back and shoulders with the utmos
vigor, putting his questioner to ig
nominious fight with the sixth blow.
This done, he threw his rawhide
away and walked home. Perhaps
some other gentleman would like to
ask Mr.. Mclaughlin whether he
ever served a term in the Peniten-

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
LATE ELECTIONS.

The second year of it's life, says
the New York Times, is peculiarly
critical to a National Administrator
it forms the grand climacteric Of
it's official existence. BY that time
the party in power has lost the flush
Of recent victory, and with it the
caprit de corps which gave unity
and energy to its movements. Ar
dor has subsidized into calmness !;
passion into sober reflection or sell
fish calculation. Party attachments
are no longer stronger than the
principles of individuality. Person
al sense of right and justice, and
personal pride, jealousy and pique
begin to prevail. The measures
which brought the party into power
perhaps have ceased to be practical
issues, and the old watchwords have
become stale. There remains no
rallying cry but the leaders, name,
and this Of itself can never long
hold its potency. Discomfort, dis
sension and detection spread in the
ranks. Ifthe opposing party is ev-
er to rally effectually from its over
throw, ther is its signal op-
portunity. These laws of par
ty working have been attested by
the history of every Administration
in our Government. The second
year of every one Of them has al.
ways brought home the crucial test
Of the strength of its hold upon pub
lie confidence.
1t is in view of these facts tha
the decided administration triumphc
in the elections of this Fall justify
peculiar congratulation. II is set
tied that General Grants Admins
tration is q notable success-that h
is as good in making moral con
quests as he was in achieving mill
tary. The convictions Of his friend:
that he would command the public
approval in peace as well as in war
are every way substantiated. Wha
makes this popular assent all tn
more gratifying, is that the Soutl
shares it as well as the North

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.
- The Granada Miss } Sentinel, a
strong Democratic paper, but pos
sessed with a great deal more com
mon sense and less prejudice than
many Democratic journals of the
North, in its issue ofthe 23d instant,
says:
~. Co. o.oPERATIoN.-Som few Demo
Gratis refuse to vote the Republican
ticket because it bears that odius
name, and, as they say, composed
of carpet haggers. Well, we ac-
knowledge it is a choice of two
evils, but our friends shonld pom
der well before they decline voting.
They may cast their suffrage for a
party and not belong to it. Let us
only cooperate this time. and Sc
cure the triumph Of liberalism. The
Sentinel does not tell you to join
the Republican party. 1t simply
advises you, under the circumstances
to cooperate with them. 1t is the
best we can do now, and it is better
to have half loaf Of bread than nc
loaf at all.
Again it says:
We hear great many of oul
,sstraight ont l"white mems" party
/. friends say they are going to scratcl
out the name of Tom Sinclair from
their ticket. No greater folly coult
be committed. The worst man OF
