r I'd rarrEENrM AMENDMENT.

The Northern Radicals are getting de
cidedly alarmed at the fate which seems
to be awaiting the Fifteenth Amendment.
THE result of the election in New York
very clearly indicates that the ratification,
so-called, of that amendment by the last
Legislature win be rescinded by the incom-
lug General Assembly. Whether that can
be done is question which is very sorely
troubling the Radical brethren They
would like very much to have one rule
apply in New York, and another in Ohio.
They are determined 80 make another
effort in Ohio, but they arc opposed to
the Democracy of New York doing like
wise.
The New York Herald urges Gen.
Grant to execute flank movement upon
the New York Democracy. II says:
In the interval, then, to the 1st of jan
uarv. in addition to Vermont, General
Grant must see to it that Iowa, Minnie
sofa. Nebraska and Rhode Island come
nm rs tie mark. Tennessee is shaky, and
| Georgia and Alabama are watching the
course of events. The Democratic party
South have adopted negro suffrage, but il
they can see an opening through which
they NAV get rid of it after awhile, they
| will be apt TO move toward it, II, then,
1 This 18th amendment be not hurried up
| and proclaimed before the 1st of January,
we NAV look for the resembling OF the
| New York ratification, and then for a fiat
\ refusal from Tennessee, Georgia and Ala
bama.
The Legislature of Nebraska viii bC
convened on the Isl of January. Ii thu
present Legislature of Ohio ratifes thu
amendment, that, in the opinion of SOM
of the Radical papers, insures the requl
site three-fourths forcomplete ratification
| The Chicago Journal radical, however
is not so sure of this. 1t says; ''Twent.

may be counted upon as sure-Nermont

We learn from the message of the GOV
ernor of Alabama that the penitentiary OF
that State was in 1866 leased for a period
of six wears. Messrs. Smith & Mcmillan
are the lessees, and by the term of their
contract with the State, based upon
special authority of law, they are author
lied to employ the convicts anywhere in
the State, in coal fields and iron mines,
and in the building of railroads The ag-
gregate number of conyicts is 3T4 Less

For the fiscal year ending September
80. 1869, the expenses of the State gov
crnmcu: amounted to $l,O32, 4O4 AZ. In
addition 10 this amount there was dis
bursed, during that period, the sum of
$3.50, l53 80 which formed part of the
expenses of the previous year.
Taxes for the last fiscal year were col
lecied under the revenue laws enacted be-
fore the present State government went
into operation though licenses were issued
under the law of December 81, 1865.
Receipts from these sources for the year
amounted to,S6S6, 45l o.. At the begin
inc of the year the amount in the Treasury
was 1915. 1877 OF. These two sums make
$500, 23S 90. 1t was necessary to resort
to temporary loan or a sale of bonds to
make up the difference between this
amount and that which was requisite TO
be paid from the Treasury, including
Temporary loans and accumulated school
interest for the preceding year. A sale
Of bonds was preferable, and no loan was
negotiated except one, for a short period,
Of $50. OOO, which has since been paid.

II thus appears, in these great Com
monwealths, which have more than one
fhird of the population of the Union,
that thereare 20, 600 more Democrats than
Republicans. This is allowing the ma
ioritv they got in Indiana last year, winch
they cannot get again. Had that State
voted this fall it would have given rs
10, 900 majority.
As the Enquirer remarks, thsdoeS not
look as if the Democratic party was
either dead or in dying condition. The
men who tried last summer to supplant
this powerful party in the affections and
confidence of those who are opposed 10
the Radical party with its train OF untold
evils inflicted upon the Southern States,
are still orc-hcaded, and whenever they
can put in a lick for their pet scheme OF a
new party, they will not hesitate TO do 50,
rs events are continually demonstrating,
They need watching lest they do them
selves mischief, for il is moi possible now
for them to hurt the Democratic party.

PLAsTER.-Often great difficulty is
experienced in the proper preparation
of mortar from lime for plastering,
&c. The following remarks By A. D.
Hagar are worth remembering:
"Caustic lime when properly slaked
with water, and made into a plastic
mass with silicious sand, forms NOR
tar, which upon drying becomes hard,
the lime forming a cement by which
the grains of sand are united. When
hard and durable mortar is wanted
care should be taken to secure clean
silicious sand that is pretty coarse,
and for one measure of lime from three
to seven or eight measures of sand
should be used. 1t is mistaken idea
that superabundance of lime adds
to the compactness AMI strength of
the mortar, for the reverse is true
Just time enough to form a cement
to unite the particles of sand and
hold them together when being used
is all that is necessary.
