The Fifteenth Amendment.

On the 9th inst. President Grant
transmitted to the Horse Of Represen.
tatives a report from Che Secretary OF
State in answer to fesolutionof the
House asking to be informed what
States have ratified the proposed fif-
teenth amendment of the Constitution.
Twenty-one States are set down as
having, through their Legislatures,
ratified itrMissoui, Kansas, West
Virginia, North Carolina, Massachu-
setts.- Wisconsin, Maine, Louisiana,
Michigan, South Carolina, Pennsylva-
mia, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida,
illinois, Indiana, New York, New
Hampshire. Nevada, Vermont and
Virginia OF these States Missouri and
Kansas are marked collective" The
defect in the case Of Missouri, as we
learn, was that the Legislature fail I'd
to act upon the second section, AID,
incase of Kansas, that the same sec
ton was imperfect when ratified; but
these defects will of course be remedied
when the Legislatures ofthe two States
shall assemble next month. Indiana
is not marked ssdefective,n though
nothing is more notorious than that
her Legislature, SO called, was without
a quorum, and so not Legislature
when the vote upon ratification was
taken. To count her among the States
that have ratified is o most outrageous
fraud. Several bay5net ratifications
are reckoned, and fraud and imposition
are too mild terms to be applied to
these. TlW- ffteenth amendment will
no doubt be officially declared by Con-
gress to have been adopted, but it viii
never be honestly adopted nor honestly
declared adopted. What the States
had better do hereafter upon the sub
ject when free government shall once
more be practically established through
out the country, the States themselves
will of course determine. They, have
time enough for giving full considers
ton to the subject oftheir future action.

The Conyention.


The vote on the proposition to hold q
convention of the people, was very
light in every part Of the State, yet the
majority in favor of said convention IS
cutie large. No doubt the indifference
manifested is mainly due to the fact
that the convention met with noserious
opposition. Hon. A. o. P. NICHOLSON
Is our floteriai delegate, having had no
oupos:tion,, and Maj. VANCE .THoMP.
SON is elected by the County by alarge
majority over his competitors. We ex-
meet to hear a good report from these
gentlemen. No doubt Judge NIcHoLr
SON will be made President of the Con-
yeution, and in that event Maj. THoMp-
soN will have to do the talking for
Maury county, and that he will DO II
well all know. As far as v can learn,
the gentlemen that will compose the
Convention, are able and liberal, ana
we do not fear that they will do any
foolish thing. We think Messrs. MICH
OLSON and THOMPSON represent the
temper of the Convention. No truei
hearts beat in Southern bosoms, but
they have the common sense 70 SEE
and the wisdom to acknowledge, thai
there is no such thing as untrammelieo
republican government That was
buried with the Con:ederaey, and every
attempt at resurrection Is as foolish al
