amendments upon the public credit

have Topped and excised it down to
Mr.. Edmunds's old declaration that
everything we owe ought to be due in
gold, no matter whether we ever pay
a red for it or not. The second sec
tion, relative to the prescription of
gold contracts, was rejected. and its
defeat was largely owing to the very
direct and conclusive argument made
against it by the new Delaware Sena-
tor, Mr.. Bayard. This gentleman
surprised some by his early utterance.
but it was at once evident that not his
father in his prime exceeded the son

writing from Washington, tells this
tale;
ABOUT SCHUYLER.

the Hon. Schuyler, which so well IL
lustrateS the man, and so faithfully,
perhaps, the new Vice President, that

intendent of the railroad between
Washington and New York, received
during the holidays, long letter
from Schuyler-three whole pages
congFatulatinY him on the manage
ment and success of the road, and
even praising the rolling stock as the
best of its kind. Mr.. Smith was be-
ginning to feel very good over such q
distinguished communication, when
q few lines from the ''yours truly''

to this effect. It was prefaced by an
unpretentiOus "hy and BY" but was

fused to amend 1t so as TO include Mrs.
Schuyler. He insisted on collecting

Schuyler was wrathy, and 'sn1erely

"to call attention to this conduct of 8

Fifteenth Constitutional Amsndmeh hs,


A subscriber asks US to state the
number of States, and to designate
them, that will be likely to ratify the
Fifteenth constitutional Negro Stuff
rage Amendment, and what States
will vote against it, and how many
elect new Legislatures before they
act upon 1t.
Under the Constitution, The assent
of the Legislatures of three-fourths
of the States are required to adopt an
amendment. There are thirty. seven
States in the Union, including the
States of Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas, which were utterly disfran-
chised at the Presidential election.
OF this number twenty eight are nee
essary to constitute the three-iOurths.
The rejection of the amendment by
ten States will defeat it.
The following States have now leg
islatures that are Democratic: Ohio,
New jersey, Oregon, California, Ken
| lucky, Delaware, Maryland and
Georgia. To these we may add the
/ three States disfranchised, who have
no Legislature to act upon it. This
makes eleven States, more than
enough to defeat it. But there are
other States who will probably not
adopt it. Among the rest is Indiana,
where the question, to a certain ex-
tent, will be involved in the special
| elections to be held in q few days.
The Democratic members have re-
signed, and constitutionally broken
up the Legislature, in order to pre-.
vent the fraud of its adoption by the
! old Legislature. The Democratic
Legislature of Ohio will not act upon
1t, but will very properly refer it to
the people at the next election. Such,
we presume, will be the course OF
other Democratic Legislatures. There
are so many contingencies in the mat
ter that, at present, the result Is all in
the futnre. Nearly all the States elect
new Legislatures, but how many OF
them will be allowed to act on the
amendment it is impossible to say.
We do not believe that it will become
a part of the Constitution certainly
not, if our friends in the States act
with vigor and determination in op
position They can carry the coming
elections upon Enquirer.

At The battle of New Hope Church,
fought late in May, 1854, an incident
occurred that attracted the attention
and alieited the praise of two gallant
armies. This incident is rather OBJ
scurely hinted at, in an otherwise adj
mirable notice of the late Col. VIM.
81. Martin, of the Confederate army,
which appeared recently.
In the battle referred to, the Feder-
ais along one portion Of the line had
met with q disastrous repulse. The
grounds is always the case in pine
fOrests-Was cover 9 d with fallen
leaves. These had been set on fire
during the action, and the repulse of
the Federals having been sudden and
decisive, they necessarily left their
wounded, who lay thick in ali por-
tionS of the woods, exposed to more
terrible ordeal than that of battle
merely. They were about to die In
the flames, when Col. Martin, taking
the lead himself, ordered his men
from their Notifications, when with
switches they whipped out the fire.
At the time they left their position, a
heavy firing from the restored Feder-
al line was going on, but of course
this ceased so soon as it became mani.
fest that the Confederates were enga-
ged in a work Of humanity to their
fallen enemies.
AS we have stated, this act upon
the part of Col. Martin was for awhile
the common topic Of conversation in
two great armies, and there are very
many who will remember it distinct.
lY. One who knew all things deep
and true, and sad and strange in hui
man life, has said that the word
"Honor" is made q lying slave on
many a tomb, while it is often dumb
over the resting place of "honored
boxes indeed" That it may not be
thus with Col. Martin, whose un-
known grave is in the sands of far,
foreign river, we seek, in simple JUS
tiee to his memory, to recall s gentle
and knlghtly incident Of his life,
which cleaned out like star from
the deep murk and gloom Of SAN
guInary war. ...

The Fifteenth Amendment and the
Duty of Legislatures.

Duty Of Legislatures.
"When the question of ratifying
the proposed Fifteenth Amendment
came before the Illinois Legislature,
Judge Woodson, a Radical member
offered q resolution to submit the
matter to the people to be decided by
them at the next annual election in
November. In support of his mo-
ton, Judge Woodson remarked that
in times past the people of Illinois
had distinctly repudiated negro suff-
rage, and were not now known to be
in its favor; and to refuse to consult
them on the subject would betray a
want of confidence in them out of
character with the professions of the
party. The resolution OF Judge Wood
son was voted down, and the amend
ment ratified"
Comment upon this high-handed
tyrannical course is unnecessary. II
is only another straw in the history
of this Radical power. 1t is the old
Federal party improved-the party OF
money-of bayonets and corruption
And yet it shrieks for freedOm-ne-
gro freedom.
