In Indiana the voice of the people has

The correspondeut--"A Veteran OBJ
server of the New York Times, who
is as Radical as they make them, but who
has glimmerings of common sense, says:
my opinion has always been that what
is called the Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution can not be adopted in either
Ohio or Indiana, or probably Illinois.
If | understand that amendment, il
forces the States to admit Chinese as
we'll as negroes to vote, and Hindoos, If
they shall come. Now, i want to ask
you in the Times First, If it is right to
admit Pagan Chinese and Hindoos to
vote, if you could2 Second, Ifyou have
a right to force upon any State, even by
an amendment to the Constitution, a
change in the fundamental structure,
viz: the members of the civil commu-
nity2 And third, How do you propose
to enforce that amendment on the States
that reject the amendment? If the State
of Ohio should reject that amendment,
what can you do to enforce it2 These
are very serious questions; and if that
is carried into party issues,
think the Republican party has more to
dread than at any time since its forma-
ton. / know that the great body of the

rne Election. in Connecticut.

The Radicals were quite blatant for a
few days over the election in Connectl-
cut, but since the entire official vote has
come in, they have somewhat lowered
their feathers. Jewel, the Radical can
didate, was elected by five hundred ma
jority, only--while Grant carried the
State by three thousand majority over
and above sthe Seymour ticket. The
Democrats elected two Congressman and
the Republicans two. The Legislature
is Republican, which insures the proba-
BILE ratification of the fifteenth Amend
ment If the State was properly appor-
toned the result of the present election
would be in favor of the Democracy
But the Radicals have jerremandercd
the districts so that the popular voice
cant be heard. This is in keeping with
the history of the party since it first
tasted the sweets of power. They have,
whenever an opportunity has offered,
secured their power regardless Of law or
Justice.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April l0.-Both Houses
have passed, and the President signed,
an important bill amending the judicial
system Of the United States. 1t provides
for nine new circuit judges for the Judi
cial Districts, at salary of five thousand
dollars year, to be appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Senate.
These judges are to hold the terms of
court now held by the Associate Justices
of the Supreme Court. The bill further
provides for an additional Justice of the
Supreme bench, and that any judge of
any court of the United States, who, hav-
ing held his commission as such at least
ten years, shall, after having attained the
age of seventy years, resign his Office,
shall thereafter, during the residue of his
natural life, receive the same salary which
was by law payable to him.

destroyed. At half-past enc o'clock the
walls fell over into Forty-seventh street
where the firemen we're at work, and the
entire building was perfect wreck. The
loss on the building, which is about one
hundred feet deep, will be about sixty
thousand dollars; the loss in machinery
thirty thousand, and on stock from
twenty to thirty thousand. The in
