Why do Radicals talk about the fif-
teenth amendment This speaking of
it as fact accomplished is intended to
lull the people to acquiesce in some pros
posed swindle and jugglery of a sOs
called adoption Of the monstrosity. Fiji
teenth amendment lit is no such thing.
Proposed fifteenth amendment it may,
by liberal allowance, be called. Amends
ment, in any real sense, it is not. Sub
version of State rights as guaranteed by
the constitution is all it really is. And
the defeat of it will not leave it even a
a proposed amendment.

From the New York Herald
The niger question on the fifteenth
amendment to the federal constitution
and on the negro suffrage proposition Of
our new State constitution is, it appears,
to be the fight of our coming November
election for the State Legislature. We
shall know more distinctly, however, the
bearings of this question after the action
thereon of the Republicans and Demos
Gratis in their respective State conVen
tons of this month. Meantime from all
the signs of the day, including the results
of the California election, we think it
probable that the almighty niger" will
be the leading issue in all the approach"

chance to head off Gen. Grant on the

Are left TO thee alone.

Yet there Is sadness in thy soft caress,

The gentle presence, that was won. to bless

Go then: aud yet I bid thee not repair,

Where pine and willow, in the evening air

of Il Remarkable Frog.
E1om he NashrQc Times, March23.

From the NGShUiVC Times. MtrchEi.
In its last weeks issue, the Columbia
Herald publishes n story about the
finding of IA gigantic frog not far from
that place, which weighed ninety-three
pounds and stood three feet high in its
stocking feat. a great many people
called during the week at the place OF
Mr. Matthe VS. to see the wonderful var
mint, but ascertainCd that they had
been badly sold-the whole story being
hoax from beginning to end. One
chap, who thought to make speculi-
ton ont OF his frogship, wrote TO Bar
mum ut New York to find out how
much he would give Tor tho Varmint.
Tho Herald publishes the following Sc
quel 10 the frog story:

ton OF and the particulars in regard 10

sixty hours that 1t remained at MIR. W.

curious and the seekers of cur1osl-
ties, but more particularly on
Sunday evening was the crowd
greater than at any previous time.

come ton miles Ito see the frog at an adj
vantage, turned it out OF the coop into
the yard, and slowly it dragged itself
along over the ground, contrary to the
inatincts OF It's species. Mr.. katlih,
wishing it TO go faster, struck it on the
back with u cane and remarked, "mOVe
up faster, you lazy looking Radical"
This SO incensed the frog that imme-
diately the jaws began to swell until il
seemed as if they would burst. The
swelling in few moments extended
to the whole body, and it swelled-
and swelled-and swelled-and swell
ed-and sweIled, and continued to
swell until it bursted with such a ter
rifle noise that the united sound of a
thousand cannon would not half equal
it. Those present were fearful
shocked. A holo was made in the
earth twenty feet III diameter and
thirteen feet deep. One hind leg was
found over one.hRlf mile from the
blow-up, and fragments OF the body
have continued to fall for the last two
days. The pieces are gathered up as
fast as they TALL, and are being put in
their proper places, and it is hoped that
