hundred millions year.

General Hayes, in one of his cam.
paign speeches, made an excellent
point on Mr.. Pendleton. Reading q
speech by Mr.. Pendletou, delivered in
1868, in which he had expressed his op-
position to the war as conducted, and
declared that his sentiments as then
expressed coincided with his views an
nounced in 1861, GOV. Hayes then read
the letter of Rusecrans Of a few days
later, in which he denounced the utter,
ers of such sentiments as traitors
"Traitors," said Gov. Hayes, "is q hare
word, but il is not mine. I am but re
peating what one chosen leader Of tn,
Ohio Democracy says OF the other.
Mr.. Pendleton has not showed cnannt
of opinion since 1868, and the letter o
General Rosecrans shows that hi
opinions remRin unchanged.

THE AMENDMENT.


There is nothing derogatory to the
dignity of the States in asking them
to ratify the Fifteenth Amendment to
the Constitution. Congress does not
put the question in the shape of a de-
mand. it consults the wishes of the
people. 1t requests them to consider
whether it is not best to make the
principle of suffrage uniform in its
operation, and to give constitutional
power to Congress to make it uniform,
1t has been shown that, as at present
managed, the right of regulating suf-
frage has been abused, and large num-
bers of citizens have been excluded
from the polls simply because their
skins are few shades darker than the
white mans, and for no other reason.
1t is desirable to put an end to this in
Justice, and the people are simply asked
to give to Congress the power to do it.
Is there anything unconstitutional in
this, or anything outrageous Con-
gress, in proposing the Amendment
and the method of It's ratification, has
followed literally the directions given
in the Constitution itself. If our peo-
pie will pause to consider these things.
they viii perceive that the hue and erV
of uncOnstitutionality is sheer non
sense, and that they are, as thew al
ways have been, the masters of the
situation. CiRciRadtt Commercial.
