THE FIFTEENTH .AMhNDMENT-
Hon john Ii. james, Ot Ohio, for
many years a Whig leader in that
State, nfterNar'l. u supporter OF Mr..
Lincoln and the republican eau 81,
aud who, it is conceded On all sides,
is one of the ablest lswyer- in our
counIry,i< opposed to the ratification
Of the Fifteenth Amendment. The
Fifteenth Amendment was passed BY
radical Congress, and the radical
party leaders are laberiag zealously
to have it ratified by the requisite
num.er Of States, because it iastens
negro suffrage on all Of the States
and opens up the way for making
Chinamen citizens and voters by

tent, Mr. james says:
The people OF a State alone oave the
power to amend their own Constitution,
and this Constitution they make and
change at pleasure in subordinAii, to
tie Constitution Of the United States as
originally made. Under this power the
large majority that they would not strike
out the word white, SO as to give the
right of voting to people who are not
white. Now they are warned and sum
moned by the revolutionists that they
are bound to vote tor the Fifteenth
Amendment. beeause it is radical
measure. The Fifteenth Amendment,
even il counted on by three fourihs of
the Legislatures, will still be nullity, Tor
il is not an amendment Of the Consiitu-
ton or of anything 10 it. Congress has
no power to propose anything but
amendments, and the Legislatures of the
States have no power to consent TO any
thing but amendments. All the amend.

and no casual recognition Of them By

The people Of Ohio make their own Con

their Constitution altered by sleeping

A very interesting little romance has
occurred in the royal family of Italy
quite recently. Victor Emmanuel con-
cluded that, being very sick, he would
enjoy a bit of death-bed repentance
To this end he sent for his first love-a
young woman whom he had loved "not
wisely but too well' in his earlier days,
and by whom he had been blessed with
several children and bestowed upon
her the privilege of a left-handed mar
rage. This was, perhaps, the best re-
paration that this royal gentleman could
make for his early indiscretion, except
that he did not keep good faith even in
this. He failed to die. TIA morganatic
marriage imposes upon the woman the
necessity of living with her left-handed
husband, and the photographs of King
Victor Emmanuel do him anything like
justice, the peasant mistress of early
days might better have refused the
doubtful honor than to have run the
risk of her royal protectors living sew
eral years more.-Ex.
