A Ratification is Final.

THE New York Herald expresses the
opinion that the newly elected Legislature
OF New York, being Copperhead, may re-
scind the vote Of ratification of the Eff.
teenth Amendment already made by THAT
State.
A resembling resolution would not be
worth the paper on which IL was written.
When State once ratifics an amendment
to the Constitution submitted by Congress,
the act Is final so far as that State is con.
cernod. A State may Withhold her consent;
and, If one fourth ofall the States withhold
their consent, the proposed amendment is
not adopted, A Legislature is not bound
to net on an amendment. II may vote not
to ratity, or II may decline to vote mt all.
So long as the consent ofthe State Is with.
held, IT counts against the ratification !;
but, whenever a majority of each branch
oil the Legislature votes to ratify, the
sanction oi the State is given, and the act
is irrevocable. The Constitution makes
no provision for resembling State votes of
ratification at any subsequent period. The
power OF the State over the question is ex-
hausted when its assent has been obtained
IN the mode prescribed by the Constitution.
The formal ratification Of the Fifteenth
Amendment by the State of New York has
been certified to the State Department by
the Governor, and that ends the matter. so
far as that State Is concerned. Amend
ments to the Constitution are not like
footballs, to be kicked backwards and for
wards between Congress and the State
Legislatures, but are solemn irreversible
acts of the lawmaking powers of the Ma
tional and State Governments. and each
step is complete in itself. Congress- can
not recall an amendment after il has been
submitted to the States any more than n
State can recall its assent after IL has
agreed TO the amendment.
For New York to rescind her ratihoa-
tion would be to commit an outrage and n
liagrant wrong on twcnty-cne sister States
which have ratified the amendment and
on the remaining States which intend do.
ing so. Playing fast and loose in that way
Is something not contemplated or per-
mittcd by the Constitution, which points
out how State mdy consent to an amend
ment, but prescribes no mode of undoing
the act Let those who claim that State
may rescind its ratification cite clause OF
the Constitution of the United States
which authorizes it to be done. If they
fall back for authority on the Calhoun
doctrine of State imperialism, VIC point
them to tho explosion of that dogma by
gunpower during the "late unpleasant.

We Live In Three Climates.

In this country we have at different seasons Of
the year, the temperature OF three climates. Oar
Springs and Autumns have softness and mild
ness that belong only to the Temperate Zones
our Mid-summers are tUrrid, and our Mid-winters
almost arctic In their frlgidity. These changes,
involving variation of from ninety to one hun
dred degrees Of Fahrenheit during the year, are
upon the whole conducive TO health and long life,
but they tend to entail upon us some distressing
complaints which can only be escaped by the ex-
ercise of due care and the use of proper antdote
when the system is pre-disposed to contract them.
The chief and most annoying of these disorders is
dyspepsia, once supposed to be incurable, hut
which, since the Introduction OF HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BTTTEHS, now about twenty years
ago, has proved to be perfectly manageable
In the Spring and Fall, but more especially in
the Fall, the symptoms of dyspepsia are generally
aggravated The profuse expenditure of the ami.
NAL fluids under the burning sun of Summer, Is
apt to leave the stomach weak and indolent and
incompetent to the task of perfect digestion. Ii
requires tonic which will rouse IL from its leth.
argy and brace and invigorate without irritating
or inflaming It, This tonic has been provided in
the wonderful vegetable preparation which has
replaced in great measure, all the old palliatives
formerly prescribed byphyscians, under the false
idea that the disorder could not be radically cured
The success of HOSTETTERS BITTEItS in all the
varieties of dyspepsia, acute or chronic has effec-
tualy exploded this faacy, and 1t is now recon-
mended as a specific for indigestion by some of the
most eminent members of the medical profession

nine wards instead Of six. Any person
who knows anything of Wilmington and
The relative population of the various sec
lions can see the utter absurdity as well us
Inc manifest injustice of the proposed meas
ure. The division II proposes is as fol.
lows:-
The First Ward TO comprise all the terri.
tory lying West of Market street and below
Third street; The Second Ward all East of
Market st. and below Third street: the
Third Ward all West of Market street be-
tween Third and Sixth streets; the Fourth
Ward all East Of Market street between
unlrd and Sixth streets the Fifth Ward all
west Of Market between Sixth and Ninth
streets the Sixth Ward all East Of Market
street between Sixth and Ninth streets The
seventh Ward all West of Market street he
tween Ninth street and Brandywinc Creek :;
The Eight Ward all East OF Markc, street
between Ninth street and Bmndywinc
Ireek the Ninth Ward all the territory w.
ing North of the Brandywine Creek now
knoNn as the sixth Ward.
1t is sufficient to show the ignorance or
tecklessncss OF the men who framed this bill
Tor one TO step up on the old City Basin and
'akc glance at the proposed Eighth Ward
with its open lots brick-yard &C., and a
population almost one tenth that of several
OF the other proposed or present Wards.
The time may come when new division of
INC city into wards may be necessary, but il
should be judiciously done by persons iami-
liar with the city.
