THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENTs


fFrom the Cleveland Leader.l
New Hampshire is the last State to
ratIfy the amendment. This makes
twenty-fUur states, counting Indiaua,
which have given iE their approval
The votes of twenty. eight are required
for the complexion of tue work. YER
mont is sure tu raIlfy it so coon as its
legislature ASSEMBLIES next fall. The
act providing for the reconstruction of
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, de-
mands its ratification by those States as
a preliminary To their FULL restoration
20 the Union. When the Georgia iegls-
lafure shall have been purged OF
the members who e disqualified
under Ihe Fourteenth amendment that
state viii unhou btedly be added to tue
ratirvIng lisI. AS will Rhode Island
wht u her legislature meets again next
winter. The campaign ia this stare
will be- mads upon the issue of the
Fifteenth amendment, and there is no
question that the next legislature will
be largely Republican. Every Repub-
lican member of the legislature will be
elected on the basis of The amendment,
and its ratification in this state before
the first of February next is as sure
as anything can be.

last evening, and was attended with gratifying and
deserved success. Indeed, few events OF the kind
have been so thoroughly appreciated, as was evil
dent from the immense assemblage OF sincere
friends and we'll wisbers who congregated within the
handsomely illuminated and spacious hail. Several
professional players gave exhibitions OF their Skill
but by the majority OF those present were per-
sonal acquantances OF the popular Neil. The recep
ton on the part Of the latter was extremely cordial
and many took occasion TO express their graticaton
~ the elegant manner IN which the concern was
gotten up. From an early hour in the evening
the tables were In constant requisition BY some
famous knights OF toe cue, and the silence
that preceded the execution OF many brilliant
stroke was not unlrequently interrupted by yolleys
OF corks that popped ]oyuly from their bondage. In
finc the tournament as u may designated, was
highly satisfactory, not only demonstrating the favor
In which Mel himself Is held but auguring well ior
