he desires to have this matter settled withou
needless loss of time; and, such being thu
case, we shall probably have this amendmen
proclaimed as part of the supreme law of the
land before the end of the winter. But what
then?
This question Is answered from various
democratic sources with the notice that
then the amendment will be repudiated
by the democratic party on the ground
that its ratification is spurious and void,
inasmuch as the ratification by the recon
structed States has been, by Congressional
coercion, in violation of the constitution. But
upon this plea, if admitted, the fourteenth
amendment falls to the ground, and also the
thirteenth, abolishing slavery, for both were
ratified through The coercion Of the late rebel
States. The amendment declaring slavery
abolished, it is true, was not forced upon those
States by Congress, but it was made condition
of restoration by President Johnson, subject
to the approval of Congress, which is the
same thing. The democratic ground of
hostility, then, to the ratification of the fif-
teenth amendment, if admitted, will carry us
back to the year of our Lord 1861, and to the
period just before the deluge, and to 'sthe con-
stitution as it was" whereby the war will
stand as failure, and the States will be re-
stored to the right of establishing slavery
in any form they may choose, African or
Chinese, and to the sovereign right of vigil
lance committees to take O note of incoming
strangers, and to tar and feather and ride on
rail" out Of town every obnoxious abolitionist
or carpet-bagger.
We have, then, again to warn the demo-
cratic leaders of the folly of repeating upon
the fifteenth amendment their proftless battles
Of 1868, 1866, 1864, 1868, 1861 and 1860. In
1862, with the aid of John Van Buren,, we got
Seymour and the democrats in this State on
the right track in support OF the war for the
Union; but ever since they have been 6oun-
dering in the dismal swamp of those old South
ern distractions which broke up the Charleston
Convention and the party. The true course
for the democracy all over the Union is that
adopted by those shrewd old time leaders Of
the party in Virginia in accepting the situa-
ton and the negro vote, and in turning it to a
good account. On this plan of operations
they may speedily regain the Southern balance
Of power and make the Southern negro as
important an element OF democratic strength
as was his master in the age before the deluge.
On the other tack, that of fighting the
fifteenth amendment, as they fought the four
teenth and the thirteenth, the result will be
the same-siill new lease to the party in
power. II is all fair to fight an obnoxious
proposition to the last ditch, but when fairly
beaten wise men give up the battle.

Union Oil-BIorc Death i'm the Lamp.


Death from the effects Of explosive oils has
become feature of our daily news. Two or
three cases of female slaughter by the ex-
plosion of oil lamps are ordinary occurrences.
The last one-unless few more have oc-
Cured since these lines were written, which
is not improbable-was the death OF an I'M
fortunate woman in Charles street, by the
explosion of a lamp containing gasoline and
other substances called "union oil, mix
ture which was intended for polishing filrni-
ture, but which was sold, it appears, as an
Illuminating oil. The man who sold it for this
purpose received "reprimand" from one Of
that he will be good boy in future and not
sell a devilish compound like this for illumi-
mating purposes any more, without warning
his victims in advance of their probable doom.
Coroners' 'reprimaads" and the verdicts of
Coroners juries have become as much of
farce as Dogberry's "Crowner's quest law"
and good deal more; for there was some
crude logic in Dogberry, while there is nothing
but corruption CLOSED over by convenient
stupidity in the Dogberys of our day.
Meantime the sale OF explosive oils will
probably go on as usual, although the law
prohibits the sale Of any illuminating COM
pound that cannot stand a certain test of heat
without evolving an explosive gas. Death
will still Turk in the lamp and victims will be
multiplied

TIE PoPES BULL TO THE CoUNCYL.-The
American public cannot fail to recognize the
enterprise of the New YORK HERALD in secur-
ing the transmission by a special telegram from
Rome, via London, of the substance OF the
important Bull which has just been issued by
the Holy Father, imposing the seal Of secrecy
on the proc eedings of the General Council and
establishing regulations for the guidance Of
its members. 1t will be seen that although a
majority Of the bishops are somewhat prema-
tureiy reported to be dissatisfied with many Of
the provisions Of the Bull 1t leaves wide
scope for liberty of discussion aud action,
while at the same time it requires strict con-
formty to the faith, traditions and discipline
fthe Church. The preliminary work assigned
to the great committees is a feature which in
dicates that the business OF the Council will be
facilitated by some of the best approved par
liamentary usagcs Of modern times, and which
nssimilates 1t, in degree, to an American
Presidential nominating convention. This
Bull of Plus TX. will be memorable az the first
Papa Bull which has ever been sent by the
electric telegraph across the Atlantic Ocean.
The BRITISH BURLiNGAME CHINESE TREATY
RATIFIED. BY cable despatch we are informed
that the treaty drawn up between the govern
mcnt Of Great Britain aud the empire Of China,
through tho medium Of the Chinese mission
under Mr. Arson Buriingame, has been raM-
fed by the latter government. The negotia-
lions with the Prussian Cabinet will in oil
probability lead TO similar results, and there
is no doubt that the Russian treaty will be
equally successful, especially as tho Gear has
