The Fifteenth Amendment.


The only States which have ratified
the proposed Fifteenth Amendment to
the Constitution, as shown by the records
of tie State Department, are North Car
DINA, West Virginia, Massachusetts,,
Wisconsin, Maine, Louisiana, Michigan,
South Carolina, PENNSYLVANIA, Arkan-
sas, Connecticut, and Florida. The same
records show it has been imperfectly rati-
fed by Missouri and Kansas. and that it
has been rejected by Delaware and Ken
lucky. 1t has been ratified by New
York, New Hampshire, Nevada, Mime
sofa Nebraska, Alabama, and Illinois, but
the official evidence of ratification has
not been transmitted to Washington. or.
at any rate, does not there appear. We
can readily understand why this fact is
true as to New York. The officials of
that State are Democrats, opposed to
the amendment, and not anxious to bear,
testimony in its favor. The neglect Of
Re publican officials may be fully account
ed for on the ground of ignorance, or
what the lawyers cal gross negli gence
Counting the States which have ratified,
but not sent in the records, we have a
total of nineteen States. Indiana failed
to lawfully ratify by reason of the revo-
lutionary course OF the Democratic mem
bers, who resigned, leaving no quorum
SO that the number Of States which have
practically acted upon the question is
twenty-four; with favorable result from
nineteen, and unfavorabe from three.
Vermont will soon surely ratify, and
it is now stated that Rhode Island, which
postpond the subject at the last session
of the Legislature, will certainly do so
in November Thus there will be TWEEN
ty-one States in favor of the amendment.
The remaining States are: California,
Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, New Jersey,
Ohio, Ore gon, Tennessee, with Mississ
ippi, Texas, and Virginia, whose rela-
tons with the Union have not yet been
restored. The account now stands, there
fore, as follows:
States which have acted.
katined by.. IL
Rejected or imperfecty ratified
If Mississippi, Texas and Virginia be
counted, the number of States requisite
for ratification will be twenty ELI ht-nine
more than we have at present. We may
count surely on Vermont, Rhode Island,
and Iowa, and with tolerable certainty on
Ohio but the defeat of the measure is
more than probable.

How often do Noted Days Recur on
the same day Of the week? POpn-
lar errors on this subject.
To the Editor of the Detroit Ttibuue.
Some years since, saw it stated in a
public journal, that the 4th of March was
selected for inauguration Day because it
never recurs on Sunday. and have late.
ly seen it in print that the Fourth of Jul
" will not again occur on Sunday for
twenty-eight years.
These are errors The 28th of Febru-
airy is the only day that recurs on the
same day of the week only once in TWEEN
ty eight years All other days of the
year recur on the same day Of the weeA
four times in twenty-eight years, averag-
ing once in seven years.
Subioined is staten ent OF years In
which the Fourth of July occurs on Sun
day, and underneath is list of the or
der of d. ference whose sum is % years !:
1869 1875 1880 1856 1897

The order of difference always consists
of these numbers ; but it commences
differently, according to circumstances.
There may be four cases, viz: lst.
Where the starting point is in the year
tof 365 days. following the goth Febru-
airy I'd. Where it is in the next year
after Sd. Where it is in second year
after; 4th Where it is in third year
