The FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT. Senator Vick-
ers, Of Maryland, has made in the Senate, one OF
the most cogent speeches that We have seen
upon the mode in which "ratiAcations' were
obtained for the Fifteenth Amendment. We
cannot give space to his whole argument, but
the heads of it will suggest its scope to the in
telligent reader -
Icontend that this so-calied Fifteenth Amend.
ment is not constitutionalIy and legally part
of the Constitution Of the United States
First, Because no amendment OF the Consti
tuition can be legitimately proposed and adop.
ted unless all the States shall at the time have
the right to be represented in both Houses OF
Congress.
Secondly, That no amendment can be rati-
fed unless all the States ratifying shall have o
right to adopt or reject. without being subject
to any conditions, but must be free and untram.
meled.
Thirdly, That no amendment Gun be valid
unless all the States that vote upon it at the
time Ct voting, are equal in right, dignity, and
honor.
Fourthly, That the Fifteenth Amendment re.
ceived only twenty seven votes ofStates, excu-
sive of New York and Indiana % being ne
cessary to the ratification New York having
revoked her ratification, and Indiana having
ratified without constitutional quorum OF her
Legislature being present, and IN open i'la
tion OF her constitutional provision.
Three other States, Virginia, Mississippi,
and Texas, voted to ratify under coercion, their
admission to representation being made to de.
pend upon their affirmative vote these three
being deducted. leave only twenty tour States
voting for the ratification, four less han three-
iourths of the thirty seven States. say moth
ing now against that great moral wrong and
ipiustiee which induced State Legislatures to
vote Tor the amendment when they had been
elected without reference 10 the question, and
some of them after the adoption OF the Republi-
can Chicago platform, which conceded to each
State the right to regulate suffrage, but after
the election the proposal Of the Fifteenth
Amendment was submitted to aud urged upon
them. The forcing of the Thirteenth, Four
tecnth and Fifteenth Amendments upon the
people of the United States under war excite.
mens, and when nearly one-third of The States
we're not represented in Congress, has satisfied
me that party is sometimes stronger than the
Constitution, that State Constitutions are shat
tered by the force and power of party, and that
its spirit will change and destroy the framework
and genius of the government unless timely
and effectually checked.

The --LATEST STYLE-The Providence jour
nal says: "We have gone through with every
kind of wedding card, from tho simply writ
ten Invitation to the most elaborate copper
plate, adorned with initial letter, monogram,
or family coat of arms. We have had cards
for wooden weddings, written on the thlnnest
possible shaving, cards for silver weddings in
letters of silver, and for golden weddings in let
ters of gold. And We have had weddings with
no cards. But the latest feature in cards
which has come to our knowledge is that an
nouncing the birth of son and heir the
name OF the said son and heir being given
without those OF the parents, so that the card
seemingly comes from the infant itself. When
this card met our astonished gaze, We could
not help exclaiming, What will como next {?
This card bears first the initial letter of the
family, then comes the name OF the infant,
followed by the date of his birth, and the
place of residence. Whether this is a fashion
that will take or not remains to be seen. -
Should it prevail. in addition TO the parapher-
MALTA supposed to be absolutely needed on
the occasion of the birth OF child, hereafter
must be added to the extra labor Of getting
out card to announce the advent Of another
Olive branch around the table.

FRUIT FOR DYSPEPSIA.-An eminent French

increased consumption of apples; fruit, he
maintains which is an admirable preventive

ter, and we do not doubt that these statements
are perfectly correct. In fact, instances have
come under our own observation where fresh
fruit had an immediate effect in checking
bilious tendencies in Individuals and We have
heard of whole districts where bilious diseases
became prevalent upon failure Of the irpit
crop. fruit growers may, therefore, count
upon constantly increasing demand for the
products OF their orchards and gardens, as the
health-givng properties Of fruit become
known.
GLAD OF IT.-Every one Will RE- Dice to learn
that a distinguished New Jersey doctor has
found that mosquitoes have parasites which
give those annoying insects great dea! OF
trouble. \ number OF captive mosquitoes
were examined under microscope, and they
were all found to be positively lousy, each hav-
ing parasites upon its body which are easily TO

that they too can suffer.
