The Fifteenth Amendment.

BY the terms of the Federal Constitution,
when any proposed amendment is submitted
to the Legislatures OF the States for adoption
three-lourlhs of them must vote for ratlfi-
cation before II becomes part of the Consti-
tuition. The provision reads =
When ratified by the Legislatures of
three fourths of the several States, or by
conventions in three-fourths thereof, as the
one or the other mode may be proposed by
the Congress"
AS there are thirty States, the rati-
iicalion Of twenty weight will be necessary to
constitute the Amendment Article 10 "A part
of the constitution. The following States
have adopted it;
Alabama, Arkansas Connecticut,
Florida, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New York,
North Carolina Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
South CarOlins, West Virginia.
In two of these, Kansas and Nevada, the
Legislatures adopted the amendment as tele-
graphed. 1t was an imperfect form, SO fur
as relates to the second section. In Indiana
members Of the Legislature resigned their
seats to destroy the two third quorum speci-
fled by the Constitution Of the State. But
usage appears to favor the consideration Of
'uc hiiicuuiuciil us uulJ Tulllicu LAWS IaSS-
ed while the Legislature was in this condi-
ton are carried out as duly enacted and in
1857 two United States Senators were chosen
in disregard of quorum. We have seen ii
asserted that Iowa has not yet acted the
ratification is sure there at any rate.
Five States more are required to make the
amendment part of the Constitution.
Governor Walker pledges Virginia, and
Vermont is certain as the morrow's sunrise.
The Republicans of Mississippi pledge that
State. Rhode Island will probably act as
soon as the Sprague- Anthony quarrel per.
nits it. Tennessee depends upon the cleo
ton about TO take place. Several paper.
nave predicted that Maryland also would
ratiiy, but We know not what reason they
have for it. We are far more sanguine tina
Ohio will elect Legislature in favor of tn,
amendment.
The States not enumerated are New Jer
sey, Delaware, Georgia, Texas, California
oregon and Kentucky.
1t is, therefore, morally certain that III,
amendment will be carried the ancient pol
iticians who arc larping ON it may as wei
give it up, and consider that as an issue il i
as hopclessy dead as any in the Democratic
platforms.

"DEMOCRATIC Reforms.

The Denton (Md) Union, discouraged
and sick at heart with long waiting, asks
where are the Democratic Reforms that
were promised the people of Mary land, when
that party went into power. The promises
have been kept to the ear, but broken to the
hope. There is no school system worth the
name. There has been no reform m the iu-
dietary. The changes made have been fay
orable to crime and criminals, rather than
otherwise, and the people have been made
to pay three judges instead of one. Taxes
have been increased, not reduced. The use
less and profigate waste OF the people S
money has compelled higher rates of assess
ment. The Legislature has been IMPROVE
dent; an expensive and snowy military
i0ice utterly unnecessary in this time Of
Fence-has sucked away large sums ; and
ne payment OF favored pets in sinccurc
places, has finally left the State with an cX
hausted public treasury, aud compelled its
officials 10 acknowledge that they cannot
meet It's obligations.
Alas for Maryland These things are
true Of the State management, and they are
true of county affairs The more honest of
the Democratic newspapers are complaining
OF the acknowledgements, extravaganza, and
waste Of their county officials. What is
there in this record to make us desire closer
acquaintance with such party! Just such
condition Of things exists in Delaware.
Our State is poor, in debt, and tax ridden,
mismanagcd, dshonored, and abused. The
peoples interests are graspcd in the control
Of a small and selfish clique, desperately
bent on retaining their power, and only to
be driven from it by rcsolutc expression OF
the popular will
And how about the city Of Wilmington ?
Had not this foul tide better be stayed out
side our boundaries? Are we not better
situated than Maryland? Are not our city
affairs more satisfactory than those Of the
state?

The CRY against "Carpet Baggers" has
somewhat died out, even among the Dem
ocracy. 1t was so senseless, so opposed TO
the spirit of the American people, and so ca
pable of hurting those who used it, as well
as those against whom it was directed, that
it failed 10 remain appreciated. A Demo-
cratic exchange warmly defends Governor
Walker, of Virginia, from the inqusition of
such title, and defines the name thus;-
"a 'carpet-bagger" is one who goes into
a community, not with the intention of set
Ting down and becoming a part of that COM
munity, of sharing in its burdens and enjoy
ing its prosperity-but one who goes with
out principles or misunderstanding the
contents of his -bag-for the purpose
of securing office by fraud, or living in idle
ness upon the spoils Of the people"
This is not an unfair definition, and all
parties ought to be willing to except it. Blu,
the practice has been, among many Other
newspapers, of politics like that quoted from,
to apply the name to men who did go into
a community to settle down, share its bur.
dens and enjoy its prosperity. They have
been driven from it, by having Walker, o.
New York, chosen Governor of Virginia
and Asa Packer, of Connecticut, made
their candidate in Pennsylvania.
