POLICE CoURT.-There were -four
cases on the docket of the Police Court
yesterday morning, only one Of which
was tried. Peter Klug, charged with
creating disorder, was fined five dol
lars and costs. The trials OF Isaac
Colts, ST., and Henry Q. Cots, jr., for
disorderly conduct; also Of George
Cline, for the same offence; were con-
tinued until this morning, on account
of the non attendance of witnesses
summoned. His Honor ordered rules
to beissued against the delinquents, re-
turnable this morning. to show cause
why they should not be fined for con-
tempt. This is step in the right di-
rectioh. In several Instances In the
history OF this Court the ends ofjustice
have been delayed, II not entirely
thwarted, by the failure OF witnesses to
appear after being subp@naed, and to
put q stop to such proceedings Judge
Good has determined to avail himself
of the power conferred on him by law.

The Fifteenth Amendment.

The Republicans of this county
adopted the following resolution at
their Convention ON the 21st day of
June: .- tfa5
"Resolped, That we heartily endorse
the proposed Fifteenth Amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
as the legitimate result of those prin-
ciples and do hereby pledge our most
earnest efforts to secure its adoption"
This is an unequivocal endorsement
of the fifteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States, which
was rejected by the last Ohio Legis-
lature.
That amendment proposes TO en-
franchise all the Negroes, Chinese, In
dams, Hottentots and Barbarians
within the limits of the United States
without reference to color, capacity,
previous condition or nationality
1t. also comedies, in the most un-
guarded manner, to the General Gov
eminent, full power to enforce upozl
the States, at the point of the bayonet
if needs be, that obnoxious and mis-
chievous measure.
This is a complete surrender of the
right of a State to regulate her own
election laws and to fix a proper test

Republican State Convention.

The Republican State Convention
which recently met in Columbus, NOM
mated the following ticket
For Governor, l.. B. Hays; Lieut..
Governor, John G. Lee; Supreme
Judge, Luther Day; Treasurer of
State, s.. S. Warner; Attorney Gen
eral, Frank B. Pond; Board of Pub
lie Works, r. A. Parter.
The Convention endorsed the per-
nicious fifteenth amendment, though
rejected two years ago by a majority
af over fifty thousand votes; and we
are of opinion the same fate awaits it
this year.
The resolution reads as follows:
Resolred, That the adjustment Of
slavery was a rational and necessary
consequence of the war of the Rebel
lion and that the reconstruction meas
u1es of Congress were measures well
adapted to effect the reconstruction of
the Southern States and secure the
blessings of liberty and free govern
ment, and as a completion of these
measutes and firmly believing in its
essential justice we are in favor of the
adoption of tae fifteenth amendment
to the constitution.

Greeley after Grant.

In eulogizing Gen. Geo. H. Thorn
as, for the dignified yet positive a
ner in which he declined receiving a
very valuable personal gift from q
number of his admiring friends, The
New York Tribune made a most in
siduous but damaging assault upon
the mercenary weakness of Grant,
who has never been known to refuse
any gift, however great or however
little. Said the Tribune:
He is certainly one ofthe finest char
a~racters brought out by the a Pres
ident Lincoln, when he first desired
to make him a Major General, replied
with q distrust born of many disar-
pointments: "No; he is from the
South; 1 will wait till he earns it,
Thomas heard of this, and how glori-
ously he did earn the Major-Genera
snip, and every other honor he has re-
ccived! He was always at his post
and for three years he did not once see
his wife. He never got whipped ; he
never complained Of anything; he
never accepted any promotion until it
is fairly thrust upon him; she never
C mmitted an act that had to be OK
planned or apologized for"
Since the war his are qualities have
grown steadily upon the people. When
he declined the house offered to him
b. the Cincinnatians, he did it with
perfect modesty and transformations
ness. "The Government" he said,
''has always paid me amply, and all
my wants are provided Tor. TO ac-
eept such Il present would not be con-
sistent with my sense of duty" y
few weeks ago some of his old officers
in Nashvillc-in token of their affec
ton, as he was about leaving for the
West, proffered him Il table service of
silver. lie replied: II am greatly
touched by this evidence of your re-
gard, but l cannot accept it. In my
Judgment it would be injurious to the
discipline of the army for officers to
receive gifts from those who are o.
have been their subordinates." Some
have thought Thomas over-fastidious
on this subject; but the American
people are now in Il mood to pardon a
great deal of fastidiousness in that di-
rection.
There is the mirror into which the
unblushing face of Grant might look
and be properly and dcservedly re-
preached never got whipped; never
accepted any promotion, till it was
thrust upon him ; never committed an
act hat had to be explained OF apollo
gized for'-would not accept a pres
ent, because it was inconsistent with
his sense of duty. That's Pap Thorn
as. But Grant ? All !-Er.
