the following:

Der of States a present il thirty-sevep. The
approval ly the Legislatures of three fourlhs
of these thirly-sever is necessary to fix thi.
amendment as part Of the supre ie law Of
the land Twenty eight States therefore
being necessary. three mlre will yet be
needed to meet the requisition."
Rhode Island. Vermont. lows and Virginia
are as certain to ratify the Amendment ne
their Legislatures meet; and if Mississippi
and Texas vote to adopt their new Cnnstitu-
tinns. rs they undoubtedly viii. they also
will ratfy. The adoption Of the Fifteenth
Amendment is simply foregone conclusion
and is dead issue To resolve" or crate
against its ratification is to buck against the
inevitable. California and Oregon cannot
affect the result. one way or the other, for

PuNARIEs.-The interest manifested At
Primary elections may always be taker as
an indication of PARTY spirit and vitality.
Judged in this light the Union Republican
Party of this county may be regarded as a
particularly live and wide awake organiza-
tion. So far as we are able To learn, the
primaries throughout the county we're well
attended. and large vote polled. Although
there was no particular strife in favor of
this or that candidate. Shasta poled 81
votes, French Gulch, At. Whiskytown, 26,
and other precincts in proportion. The
Democratic primaries in this connty were
allowed to go almost by default, and the
Shasta delegation were elected by the voice
of about ten voters.

ImpGrtant CommuniGation ~, TO ~ GGommiTsoner
E,dit0r E0eR5Rg 1eIegruph. following
is a correct copy of the communication sent
by the committee of the Philadelphia Tobacco
Board of Trade to the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue:-
''To the Hon Columbus Delano, United
States Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Washington, D. C.-Sir AT a special meeting
of the Tobacco Trade of Philadelphia, held at
their rooms on the evening of May 18th, we,
the undersigned, were chosen committee to
communicate with you, and to ask you If our
construction of the present tobacco law, re-
specting how far the right of appeal to you
(under the law approved April 10, 1869 to
refund the money prepaid for new stamps eX-
tends, is a correct one. And we, therefore,
respectfully submit for your consideration and
approval the following construction OF the
law in point, as we understand it,
We claim-First. That the law approved
July 20, 1868, legislates all cigars and manu-
factured tobacco of every description, as
mdde since July 20, 1865. e., made under
the new law; and this is to take effect on
smoking, fine-cut, chewing, and snuff, after
February 10, 1869; on cigars after April l,
1863, and on all other manufactured tobacco
after July /, 1879. ~.
Second. We claim the intention of legs-
lating all the old stock as made under the new
law so that the Government would have the
power to enforce the law requiring the stock
on hand, on a certain date, to be repacked, or
at any rate new stamped; and it would prevent
the plea of eg post tacto law
Third. That section of the act approved
April TO- 1869, is "a turther amendment by
adding HeretO, and not annulling or explain
ing previous laws.
Fourth. That in section 3 of the same act,
the words ''since July 20, 1865" do not mean
actually ''since" but legally, in the language
of the July 20, 1868, law, ''ShaH be taken and
deemed as having been manufactured utter
July 20, 1868"
Fifth. That, consequently, all the inspec-
tors stamped manufactured tobacco of every
descli iption and cigars that were properly re-
turn-d to the proper assessor on or before

In the House many petitions were presented
AGAINST the bill Earl Granville moved that the
hin mass to a second reading. He declared he had
always thought the Irish Church was an anomaly
and failed to fulfil the position for which it was in
tended; that it was great injustice, and should be
leqislated on in a reasonable, wise and moderate
wav. He traced the history of the suspensory Dill
of last year. and said the resignation OF the DIS
rael Ministry showed their acceptance OF the dec-
sion of the country favor of disestablishment ana
