VI AMEND
xrsT.-Thc ratification Of the fifteenth con-
stl.utional amendment, according to all polit-
ical probabilities, Is no longer q matter Of
doubt, although, as will be soon by the fol-
lowing table, which has been very carefully
prepared, the measure we'll be barely carried
and will hardly get the vote Of even one
State more than Is necessary to secure It's
adoption;
the total number Of States Is thirty-seven.
An amendment to the Constitution must be
ratified by three fourths Of the States, so that
twenty-eight must vote affirmatiyely, through
their Legislatures or special conventions, on
the fifteenth amendment, else 1t fails to be-
come part Of the Constitution.
The States which have already voted for
ratification are. Arkansas, Connecticut, Flor
ida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana,
Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan, Missouri,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, West
Virginia and Wisconsin - nineteen In all.
Nine additional are required to secure ratia-
cation.
According TO the laws Of Congress, Missis.
sippi, Texas and Virginia must adopt the
amendment before they shall be restored to
representation In Congress. This will make
twenty-five States on the roll Of ratification,
leaving only six necessary to insure adop.
tlon.
Ofthe remaining States the SIX following
will, 1t Is confidently expected, vote In favor
OF the amendment, namely: Alabama, Iowa,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Yer.
mont and Georgia.
In one Of the above tables Indiana Is set
down as having voted for ratification. The
opponents Of the measure claim the action Of
the Legislature was void, inasmuct as IN.
Democrats had Withdrawn; ,aaying the lie.
g.siature TithoGG.. the Necessary quorum.
Senator Morton maintains that the ratffl,a-
ton Is legal and complete, putting 1t upon
this ground-among othcrs-that the mem
bers Of State Legislature, after question
has been fairly presented to them, cannot
legally resign In order 10 defeat 1t, any more
than could the Senators and Representatives
Of the National Legislature nullify the &C.
ton Of Congress by their secession.
To sum up the proceeding, nineteen
States have ratified the amendment, three
must do so TO be restored to their relation,
In the Union, and the Legislatures Of 81,
others, which have not yet taken action, ar,
certain to vote for the measure, making IL
all the requisite number Of twenty eight.

The CIRcUs.-The crowded auditory pres.

Last night another crowd was present, and

exhibitions OF skill displayed by the accom-
plished artlstes who assist In forming the
immense combination which Mr.. Robinson
has collected. The acrobatic and equestrian
performances were well executed throughout

the last opportunity our people will have to
witness the exhibitions OF talent, and we ad-
wise all 10 visit the establishment this AFTER
noon or tonight.

The Three Remedies. "SCHENCK's PULMoNIC
SYRUP" for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
and every form of Consumption. The peculiar ac-
ton of this medicine rpens the ulcers in the lungs
promotes the discharge of the corrupt matter by
pectoration Purifes the blood aud thus cures Con-
sumption, when every other remedy fails.
"Schenck's Sea-Weed Tonic" for the of Dys-
pepsa OF Indigestion. and all diseases arising from
debility. This tonic nyigorates the digestive organs,
supplies the place of the gastric juice when that is
deficient, and then enables the patient to digest the
most nutritious food. 1t is sovereign remedy for
all cases of Indigestion.
"Schenck's Mandrake Pills. one of the most val
liable medicines discovered, being a vegetable
substitute for calome and having all the useful prop
critics ascrbcd to that mineral without producing
any Of its injurious effects.
To these three medicines DR.. J. II. Schenck of
Philadelphia, owes bis unrivaled in the
treatment of Pulmonic Consumption. The Pumon-
ic Syrup ripens the morbid matter, discharges it,
and purifies the blood. The Mandrake Pills act up
the liver remove all Instructions therefrom, give
the organ healthy tone, and Liver Complaint
which is of the most prominent causes of Con-
sumption.
The Sea Weed Tonic invigorates the powers of
the stomach and by siren gthenng the digestion and
bringing it to normal and healthy condition inn
proves the quality of the blood, by which means the
forma ton of ulcers tubercles in the lungs be-
comes impossible. The combined action of these
medicines, as thus explained, win cure every
of Consumption, if the remedies used in time
and the use of them is persevered in sufficiently to
bring the case to a favorable termination.
