HoRsEs.-Neyer strike an animal upon
the head. Never touch a spirited horse
with the whip, until he has been told to
move faster, by voice or sign. Balky
horses are generally made so, by ill-treat-
ment when young, or bad handling of an
imal if of nervous temperament-and no
horse was ever cured of it by excessive
whipping. 1t comes of a spirited temper.
and Is -ugly-or from nervousness, which
confuses the animal and il stops on the road
from excessive fear. Careless application OF
the whip has blinded many horses. More
horses are famed from bad shoeing than from
scream at horse, nor jerk the bit in his
mouth. Many horses are made vicious from
cruel treatment. More horses fall from
WEAKNESS than any other cause. When q
horse falls he is more frightened than his
ride. A frightened animal cannot use its
senses Alright; it must first be treasured by
gentle treatment. Ii Is speed that kills the

The Pacific Railroad and Ghc China
Trade.

The London Economist has an article in
which the possible effects on the China
trade of the Pacific Railroad, are discussed.
The writer believes that the road between
New York and San Francisco will not di-
vert so much of the European trade with
the East as many persons appear TO suppose /;
that the American traffic will go by that
route, but for the Old World, the sea and
the overland journey will be preferable.

Europe will gain by the new route so far as

in no other respect, except in having a

4 Runner Of War.

The report. originating in a cable
dispatch to the New York Tribune.
that England, France and Spain. had
taken the preliminary steps for an
alliance both offensive and defensive.
against the United States, has been
tile cause Of some excitement. in
Arlington. as well as elsewhere.
Is nothing further has been received
upon tire subject. though several DAYS
have passed since the origin of the
report, it is to BE presumed that
there is no truth IN it. We have no
doubt those governments, could they
see a prospect Of success, would vii
lJngly enter into an alliance such as
Is rumorel. and do their best TO de-
stroy our republican institutions.
But As matters now stand with each
OF them, they have probably all they
can attend to at home to keep down
the spirit Of republican-liberty on
their own soil. The rumor was nrot-
ably canard gotten up by the stock
lo aners to effect the prices of stocks
and gold AID in a measure they may
succeeded, for gold Is now quoted
somewhat above the ruling figures
for many mouths past.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1869-05-19
Indiana Ratifies the Fifteenth Amendment.

Notwithstanding the runaway spir-
it manifested By the Democratic mem.
bers of the Indiana Legislature, that
body has at last ratified the Fifteenth
\ mendment to the Constitution of
United States. At the time of the
regular session in March, it will be
remembered that in order to der-at
the ratification of the Amendment.
the Democratic members. almost in
body resigned. thus leaving the Leg
lslature without quorum. for the
transaction OF business, though many
important bills were on the files.
The Governor Immediately issued
orders for elections to fill the yacan-
cies, the skedaddling members were
all reelected without opposition, and
a special session Of the Legislature
called to meet on the Sth Of April.
Upon the coming of the appointed
day the members assembled at Indi-
anpolis, but two or three days were
spent ia wrangling and maneuvering,
when the Republicans agreed not to
bring up the Amendment for adoption
until the llth Of May, the Democrats
finally consenting to attend, and an
organization was effected. On the
| 18th, the State Senate. after much
sparring, passed a resolution ratifying
the Amendment, the speaker announ-
cling the result: 81 votes for ratifca-
ton, l against, and 0 members pres
ent but not voting. The ten who
did not vote were all Democras, who
claimed to have resigned The House
the next day concurred in the Senate
resolution by vote of 80 for to none
against, two or three Democrats be-
Ing present but refusing to vote, most
Of the Democrats having sent their
designations to the Governor, and
declining to attend.
The Democracy claim that this
result was obtained through great ir-
regularity, as the constitution of In
diana requires two-thirds of the mem
bers of either branch of the Legisla-
ture to be In attendance in order to
form quorum. The Republicans,
however, claim that as most of the
Democratic members had resigned,
the required two thirds of those le-
gally entitled to seats were present.
and as a majority of the members of
a full Legislature had voted for the
Amendment, the vote was legal and
binding.
The question is now placed in the
hands of Congress for settlement, and
we have no doubt Congress will de-
clare the Fifteenth Amendment duly
ratified by the State Of Indiana.
