The Fifteenth amendment to the Consti.
tuition, which has been for some time under
consideration by Congress, was finally pass
ed by the Senate on Friday. by vote OF 80

INDEPENDENCE OF CuDA-MovEMENrs I'M
CONGRESS. Sherman submitted n reso.
luton IN the Senate yesterday, to authorize
the recognition of the independence of
Cuba, by giving authority to the President.
whenever, in his opinion, Cuba shall bnve
established an independent government do
fdcto, according to tho laws of nations. to
recognize her independence The resolu-
ton was referred to the Committee on For.
elGn Relations A movement tending to
the same object was made in the House of
Representatives the day before and referred.
This all shows that Congress is WATCHING
with interest the revolution in Cuba. and
believes there is q prospect of tho Cubans
acquiring their independence. We hone
these movements will be followed up, so
tn Mt the revolutionists may be encouraged
by the moral support of our Government.
and that the bloody horrors now threatened
by the Spaniards may be averted. In q geo.
graphical, commercial and political point of
view, Cuba belongs to our American system.
Her people and their trade and interests are
more identified with the United States than
with Spain. The time is coming when all
America must be detached from the Euro
pean governments, and no fair opportunity
should be lost to forward that destiny. Upon
every principle ofsonnd policy and humani-
ty, the people of this country must feel
deeply interested in the Cuban revolution

General. Grant is about tottake his seat as
President. As our readers know, he is net
the President of our choice. We shall not
PREJUDICE the President elect We are in
olined to anticipate some good from his
administration. In war, Grant was certain
ly magnanimous. and in peace he may
continue, to illustrate that shining quality.
This, at least. we may say, that lot him
carry ont his programme credited to him
Of retrenchment, economy and reform in
our national affairs, and eSsn Democratic
support will be cheerfully given him. What
the country needs now is q cheap and wise
administration. "Let us have peace" was
the aspiration which General Grant pro-
fessed to entertain. Let him put radical
extremism under his feet, and deal promptly
with radical corruption, and he may give
peace and prosperity to the whole country.
The Augean stables arc there, and time
will show whether or not General Grant
will be the Hercules to purify them.

CHURCH BURNED We learn that st.
Stephens Methodist Episcopal Church, in
st. James Goose Greek Parish, about twelve
miles from the city, was entirely destroyed
by fire about ten days ago. This church
was built some years since by private enter
prise, and was held by trustees Our in
formant states that the fencing around the
graves in the adjacent burial ground is un-
injured. The fire was the result of either
incendiarism, or gross carelessncss in firing

The Baltimore Snn says that the proposed
constitutional amendment, in the shape in
which it has passed both Houses of Con-
gress, by the requisite two-thirds of each,
is substantially the original House PROPOSE
tion 1t prescribes that the right of the
citizens of the United States to vote shall
not be denied by any State or by the United
States on account of race, color or previous
condition Of servitude. It does not pro-
hibit such denial on any other ground, such
as want of education or property. The
Senate amendment did make snch promo
sltion, rs well as opened the door to Office
for ALL and the defeat of that amendment
makes clear and undeniable that the kind of
suffrage now proposed by Congress is i'm
partial, THAT is for each separate State,
and not universal suffrage, by impartial
being meant that the suffrage may be made
conditional Oh Qualified, only the qualifica-
tion shall be by modes which do not make
race or color reason for Acknowledgement.
The Senate proposition, on the contrary,
enbraced substantially the positive enfran-
chisemcnt of all men, or universal suffrage,
Southern white Eek x-rebels" excepted The
subject might well be left, where the Con
stitution has placed it, with the States, but
this seems to be the day of political expert
ments, and the mode OF getting at the OBJ
ject is in accordance with the terms of the
Constitution. Whether the requisite three
fourths of the States can be obtained for
its ratification is another question, though
its advocates claim that. as the Legislatures
are now constituted. there will be no diff
Guilty on the subject, and that is said to
have been reason for pressing the action
of the present Congress upon it before it's
adjournment.

The Out-Going President.

The official career of Andrew johnson as
President of the United States is about
drawing to it's close. His has been stormy
time. Called to the Presidency at the close
of gigantic civil war, his position was one
of peculiar difficulty. In our opinion, the
pen of the impartial historian will accord to
him the need OF praise and honor. No
sooner had ne fairly taken his seat as Pre-
sident than he seemed to have risen at once
to just conception of his high response
bilities. If a partisan before, he was par
tisan no longer. Planting himself upon
the Constitution of his country, ne deter
mined to stand by it at all hazards The
South at least is largely indebted to him for
the shield that he sought to throw over her
PROSTATE form.
If wanting in TACT even his opponents
will not deny to him the attributes of cou-
rage and honesty. He will retire from his
high Office with II stainless reputation. In
his retirement, we wish him well, and we
trust that ere long he will return to public
life as the indomitable champion, fighting
for the best interests of his country

a WONDERFUL SOUTHERN Discovery. In
the South, where Liver complaint and
bilious diseases prevail to so great au ex-
tent, there has long been felt n need of O
medicine that would net specifically and
promptly on tile Lice'. restoring it to its nor
NAL functions, and at the same time be safe
from after effects. and yet SO simple that it
might be used by any one. 1t is claimed
that DIR. TUFTS VEGETABLE LIVER PILLS
supplies this want. They act directly on
the Liver; their constant use will not injure
IL the slightest degree the most delicate
constitution. Females at any period may
use them with great benefit, and realize
great relief from tho distressing nausea
which they experience at certain times.
These pills are not recommended as o uni

Liver, and those malades which follow a
arrangement of that important organ, such
