The 15th Amendment.

The radicals complain That the Demo
Gratis are making the proposed 10th amend
mont IAN issue" 10 is not the fault Of
the Democrats this question is involved in
the elections in several of the States. Tx
copt in Ohio, II has been made an issuc by
the blunders Of the radical Legislatures
who attempted TO swindle the people by
mtifying il in such haste that ii was inform.
ally done.
In New York the Legislature provided
no way by which its notification was to DO
verified and transmitted TO the Secretary
of State. Whether this action of ptifcn-
ton by that State shall ever be completed
aud become operative is n question now be-
fore the people of that State.
The Missouri Legislature used such in
decent haste that they ratified an orrone-
Gus Geographic dispatch, instead of the
proposed amendment; aud they have their
action 10 reconsider, aud do over again
correctly.
The same is true of Kansas.
Besides, II the radicals did not want il TO
be On issue IN the elections, what did they
propose II for in violation oftheir pledges

The Election IN Vermont.

From the Boston Post.
Although Vermont Is understood to he
the stpnghold Of the republican party, yet
the democracy made great gains at the late
state lection. The Montpelier Argus has
a carefully written summary of the result,
showiig no less than five towns which have
been edeemod, and will this year, be rep
resened by democrats in tho legislature.
The %clntest was in many instances q close
one. Every dodge of radical cunning W 8
put in%pperation, but the democracy stoout
frmlybt their guns, and won q glorious
victort. In one town, Robbery, where a
republican representative was elected by
four minority, there were nme recorded
as having voted and the democratic state
ticket was successful by a majority of five.
Cabot PlNinheld, Underhill, South Bur-
lington, Marshield, Bolton and Gray have
elected democratic representatives. In
Moretown a republican Is elected. North
field also lost its representative, but was
successful in e%lecting eight of the twelve
justices ofthc peace. Col A. NJ Dickey,
is returned from Bradford by a majority of
twenty-five votes. In Burlington the re-
publicins had only 40 votes against the
several hundred of few years ago The
the whole vote Is light, the
democratic vote falling Of less in proper
ton lhan that of our opponents: Last
year the republican majority in the state
was about $4,000, and this year it is but
about l8.OOU.

denied victory for the democratic Tar,y.

party stranded aud shattered, so that they
can never again venture into the sea of poll
tics ia this state. That 10 one Of the most
observable features OF the result, that the
the radical party Is broken into small ipg-
ments. In the city of San Francisco II did
not emerge once from It's shell, on show its
head. One wing voted the democratic
ticket, and Of the other wing vast numbers
staid away from the polls. .

'FRONT.' st. Louis Times, Sept. 1G.l
Early yesterday morning, while Justice
Andre was Arranging his books and remov.
ing his hat preparatory TO the opening OF
the Court, he was accosted by a tall couple
named John aud Grace Healy, who were
in haste TO have articles of separation
drawn mp, in order that the marital relation
between them should be obliterated. The
husband stated that their lives had been n
continual war, and the happiness of both
had been destroyed by the isticuls and
tonguo-lashings, until they had finally de-
termined TO separate upon conditions which
they would specify. The husband
promised to pay the woman $50 n month,
for her support until death" and the wife
promised in return never to bother him.
The Justice Informed them that he could
could grant no divorce, but any private
agreement between them he would certify
TO. The clerk made ont tho papers and the
contented couple left the court.
Before half an hour had elapsed, John
returned to his honor with q fresh and
blooming damsel hanging on his arm,
the picture Of perfect health and happi-
ness.

The crowd in the court room burst into
a snicker the judge was placed in a dilem-
ma, and the candidates for matrimony
showed signs Of great perplexity. The
court had hardly explained It's inability TO
unite the parties, when tho cast-ofr wife,
with four children hanging to her skirts,
entered the doorway 10 watch the progress
Of the proceedings. She was perfectly
willing That John should he lost to her So
ciety, but sho was highly inoenscd at tho
idea of his adopting another and better
looking spouse, and if that would be the
result of their agreement, she would de-
mnnd that IT be abrogated. She said she
was the mother Of eight children, and five
dollars q week wouldn't < oaround.
All the parties LETT the court room in dis
gust, the blooming maiden weeping bitterly
over the loss of a man who had demonstm-
ted so omphatically his ability to make
marriage n family matter.

Thro' groves and meads, DER grass aud heather,

We wandered hand in hand t%ogetheri
But that was sixty years ago.
You grew a lovely roseate maiden,
Aud still our carly love was strong;
still with no care our days were laden,
They glidcd joyously along.
Aud l did love you very dearly
How dearly, words want power TO show;
thought your heart was touched as nearly
But that was nifty years ago.
Tl.r other lovers came around you.
tr buauty grew from year tu year,
Auluany a splendid circle found YOU
Toe centre Of its g~liticring sphere.
I s.t, you then, fret VOWS forsaking,
On rank and wealth your hand hestow;

But that was forty years ago.
And I lived on 10 we'd another,
No cause she gave inc to repiue;
And when ! heard You we're q mother,
idid not wish the children mine.
My own young flock, in fair progression,
Made up pleasant Christmas row;
Ny JOY iu them was past expression;
But that WIS thirty years ago.
You grew a matrOn, plump and comedy,
You dwclt In fashions brightest blaze:
My earthly lot was far more homuly,
But I, too, hadmy fcsal days.
No mefrior eyes have ever g~listcncd
Around the hcarth.stOnes wintry GLOW,
Than when my youngest child was Cirisicuol:
But that was twouty years ago.
Time passed. Ny eldest girl was married,
And nov I am a grandsiro gray;

But though FIRST loves impassioncd blindness
