PoRT TOBACCO, august I'd, 1870.
To T. H. MOORE, ESQ.
My Dear Sir:-To your first question l an
swer, that the Democratic and Conservative
Party of the Fifth Congressional District of
Maryland have twice nominated me as their
Representative in the Congress of the United
States when its nomination was equivalent to
an election. Every principle of gratitude and
self-respect demands that should not decline
its nomination now, when, instead of an assur-
ed and easy victory, nomination means hard
fought, expensive and doubtful contest. Crate
fully and cheerfully will l accept any position
that the party may assign me, whether it be to
carry a standard or to fight in the ranks
Permit me to say that no words can measure
the gratitude feel to the electors of my dis
trict I believe no Representative ever had
such constituents as mine have been to me-
They have overlooked Deficiencies and pardon
ed errors, and when domestic affliction cloud
ed my first term, with consideration and
generosity unparalleled they gave me a amani-
nous denomination. With such constituency
can never be dissatisfied
To your second interrogatory answer: that
the Democrats almost unanimously opposed the
adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment because
they believed that the question of the right of
suffrage should be left exclusively with the
States. No man opposed this interference with
the rights of the States more earnestly than
did, but it having been declared adopted by
the competent authority, look upon it, in the
emphatic language of the late address issued by
the Democratic and Conservative members of
Congress, as ''dead ISSUE" and over its DIS
cussion no more time should be wasted.
While upon this subject I cannot forbear, as
citizen of Maryland, returning my thanks to
the last Legislature of my State for it's prompt
and wise action upon this subject. That wis
dom and disserstion will, believe, soon be full
lE, lated and shown to the country.
u Yours respectfully,
F. STONE.

TEE IMPEACHMENT
CONFESSION.

We spoke yesterday of the confession
relative to the impeachment, made By
Senator Sumner in his discussion of the
Virginia bill. The New York World has
an article on the same subject, in whichit
says:
In the heat of his passionate de.
Tense against the punishment inflicted by
Senator Trumbull, Senator Sumner made
an admission which is here put on record
to yindicate the justice of certain charges
made by the World and other Demo
cratic journals during the trial of Prcsi-
dent Johnson.
The Impeachment of President John
son, we charged, was made for purely
political and pUtizan reasons. 1t was
not made because he had been guilty, for
he had not been guilty, of any criminal
act such as rendered him justly and legal
ly subject TO impeachment The charge
was denied. Republican journals canted
and snivelled, Republican Representatives
raved and pretended holy horror at the
crimes OF their Chief Magistrate, and Re
publican Senators simulated real and
grave concern on the subject, as if Presi-
dent johnson had really been the law
breaker they could only get his office by
voting him to be.
The plot failed ignominiously But
the prctcnse of the Republicans has till
now been kept up. Not until Friday last
has the clear admission been frankly made
by any Of the impeaching Senators that
the Impeachment was consciously par
tisan and political proceedings perver-
sion of legal forms to the accomplishment
Of a political end. Such clear admis-
sion was made by Charles Sumner, the
head and front of the impeachers, who
said, "Thc question was presented: Shall
Andrew Johnson be expelled from Office
that reconstruction might have free
course; that the freedmen might be pro-
tected that the Ku-Klux Khan might be
trampled out. "
Mr. Summers politics, like those of his
party, are of the seventeenth century
type: A loss of power followed by trial
fortreason; power prostituting the forms
Of justice and the very institutions of the
State to its own aggrandizement reckless
Of law, Of the peoples liberties, of their
peace. But this all reasoning men have
known; the wayfaring Senator from Mas
SachuSctts now confesses that he has not
erred therein.

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT
A NOVEL, AND ORIGINAL PROP

An article in the Lexington (Ky)
Gazette, in reference to the Fifteenth
Amendment, has attracted some attention
and caused not a little comment on the
part Of members Of the Legislature The
article IN question proposes plan for de-
feating the Fifteenth Amendment, and
getting rid Of the negro vote, that
is at once striking and original.
The amendment declares that ''the
right Of citizens Of the United
States 10 vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States, OF by any
State, on account OF race, color or pre-
yious condition Of servltude;n and the
Gazette proposes that, such being the
case, the Kentucky Legislature shall enact
a law providing that '.no person shall
be elector in this Commonwealth who has
wool or kinky hair On his scalp, and that
any person who shave or otherwise re
moves the wool or hair from his head, so
as to deceive the judges of election, shall
be indicted and punished, as provided by
law, for fraudulent voting.

SUMMERS SPEECH.

A leading New York paper, the Journal
of Commerce., says: 1T has leaked out
that Mr.. Charles Sumner has earned some
sort Of fame as a financier very cheaply.
It's said that a gentleman long connected
with the Treasury Department and who
knows all about every loan negotiated by
the United States, drafted the bill intro
duced in the Senate by Mr.. Sumner. Be
fore being submitted, the bill passed the
separate revision and consideration of
the Hon. Salmon p. Chase, Henry d.
Cooke and Jay Cooke, and the informant
goes on to say that he saw the argument
of Mr.. Summers speech, made up in the
handwriting Of one Of the gentleman
above named.
