himself can never receive the nomination
for the presidency, is preparing for the
light OF 1872, and wants to run man in
under whom he can be Secretary Of State
He is all ambitious, considers himselfthe
statesman of the future, and takes time
by the forelock to promote his chances
and those of his confdants. The new
organ will also urge free trade upon the
Republican party, and denounce Grant S
foreign policy. " .<'

FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
The Presidents special message and
Secretary Fish's proclamation on the rati-
fication of the Fifteenth amendment, are
still on the Speakers table in the House,
but motion will be made this week to
refer them both to the Judiciary commit,
tee, with instructions to send for persons
and papers to ascertain if the ratification
by Indiana was legal and proper, and to
investigate the question of the right of
the State of New York to withdraw its
ratification. Notwithstanding that the
Secretary of State of Indiana has certi-
fed to the State department here that the
ratification of that Legislature was prop
er, it is asserted by the Indiana members
that the Republican Governor Of Indiana
looks upon it as illegal, and declares that
it was done by less than aquorum of the
Legislature. Although Republican
member made the motion of reference
the other day, it is understood that new
tactics have been agreed on, and that the
Radicals in the House will oppose an in
vcstigaton.
