Specie Payments.

1t is now rumored and pretty gem
orally believed that the U. S. Supreme
Court,with the author of our. green
back currency atsthe head, isto decide
that the legal tender greenbaek law is
unconstitutional, and that Boutwell, is
maturing scheme for an early return
to specie payments, and thinks that
end can, reached by the commence
ment of the next fiscal year. Is there
any one who thinks the country can
return to specie payments without q
material reduction of the amount OF
currency in circulation? And can
any one doubt the effects, upon the
business of the country with from
lone-third to sone-haH of the currency
retired !? With the same amount of
interest to be paid semi-annually to
the bondholder, the same extrava-
|gance in carrying on the Government,
don't the people look forward with
pleasure 10 the day when the Supreme
Court shall pronounce its Judgment
and when Secretary Boutwell, shall
usher in the age of gold !? =, And what
is to be the effect of this policy? Why,
when all this shall have been accom-
plished it will require double the
Iiamount of toll, and the products OF
toils1o pay the taxes than now. Ther

Amos Kendall.

AMOS KENDALL died at Washington
on Friday morning. Like most of
our statesmen, he sprang from the
humblest beginnings. Mr.. KENDALL
was born at Dunstable, Mass, August
16, 1889. In 1911 he entered Dart
mouth college, graduating at the herd
of his class. In 1914 he was admitted
to the bar, and soon after emigrated
to Lexington, KY. Afterwards he
went. to Georgetown, where, be-
sides filling the office of Postmaster,
he edited alloeal paper. His abilities
in the later calling attracted attention,
and in 1916 we find him one of the
regular editors of the .Argus Of YES
tern america, in the columns of which
he advocated the measures of the
Democratic party with signal ability.
After JAcKsoH's election, in 1929, he
appointed Mr.. KENDALL Fourth Au-
ditor of the Treasury. In 1885 he
was made Postmaster General, and
the following year, he effected a re-
organization of the Department on a
| plan that has not since been materially
changed. VIE BUREN retained him
/ in office, but Mr.. KENDALL retired
| from public life in 1910, since which
time he has seen no public service
although President Polk offered him
la foreign mission. Since l845, the

The Fifteenth Amenamsnt.

The State of New York has ratified
the Fifteenth Amendment, through
the action of its Legislature, elected
the year before, and to whom the
question was not submitted. This
year a new Legislature was chosen.
1t contains majority against the
Amendment. But this is not all, as
indicating the sentiments of the peo-
pie. Ayear or SO ago Convention
was held in the State of New York
for the purpose of forming a new
State Constitution. 1t contained a
large majority of Republicans. In
1921, when the first Constitution of
New,YOrk was formed, after the Rev
olution, the question came up whether
the negro should vote. Itwasaecided
in the negative. Finally a compro--
mise was effected. But few. if any,
negroes owned real estate to the value
of S259. They were nearly all BARRIERS,
servants or coachmen, and such a
qualification amounted to their prac-
tical exclusion. This compromise
was finally adopted. In 1916, when
the present Constitution was adopted,
it was re-enacted, by being submitted
to the people, who ratified it by a ma
jority that went up in the tens OF
thousands. The Convention held in
1867 adopted a new Constitution
which submitted this question again
to the people. They again affirmed
that negroes shall not vote unless they
have the real estate qualification
Thisi is the Judgement of the majorit,
the electors. sr $50
1t would, therefore, appear that the
decision of the Legislature last veal
was in direct conflict with the views
of their constituents, and that the new
Legislature will be justified in over
ruling it. 9. This example of New YorE
would be followed by nearly all tht
States that have pretended to adop
1t. The ratification. as made, is |
fraud of the most fragrant character
and would be overruled if the peopl,
| voted on it.-EnOtGirer. fI t7.a 53di1
