AS we figure out the returns. the
following States have ratified the
Fifteenth Amendment:

The imperfect ratification by the
Legislatures of Kansas and Missouri
has been corrected by each. The re-
naming States are:
/. Delaware. 7. Iowa.
2. Kentucky. 8. Maryland.
8. Georgia. 8. Nebraska.
4. Ohio. 10. New Jersey.
5. Tennessee. Il. Oregon.
Delaware, Kentucky, Tennessee,
California, Maryland, New Jersey
and Oregon may be counted against
the proposition. The Legislatures of
Iowa, Georgia aud Ohio are now in
session, and that of Texas is nearly
ready to be assembled. The Ohio
Senate has ratified the article. The
House will act on the proposition
some time during the present week.
and will, in all probability. endorse
the action of the Senate. The action
of Georgia is doubtful. Governor
BUTLER will call the Nebraska Leg
i~slature together early ia the month
of February. By the 1st Of March.
it is probable that the twenty-five
States above mentioned will be joined
by Iowa, Ohio, Texas and Nebraska;
which WILDE one more than is needed
to make the amendment a part of the
National Constitution. Should Geor-
gia finally agree to it, with affirmative
action in OH, thirty States will have
registered themselves on the side of
equality. This will be enough
without counting either Indiana or
New York.
The Boston Journal copies the
amendment and adds a comment,
which we commend to those who are
so fearful Of the effect of its adoption:
ARTICLE XIV.
SECTION /. The right of citizens of
the United States to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United
States, or by any State, on account of
race, color, or previous condition Of
sergitude.
SEC. 2. The Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by ap-
propriate legislation.
There is not only no DISTINGUISHED
man, there is not an intelligent woman
or a frank, pure hearted school-boy
in the country, that can look at this
amendment and say it is not right and
worthy of adoption into the frame
work of our Government. It is,
moreover, the legitimate sequel of the
progress from slavery to universal
liberty made during the var the
browning Of the edifce OF u regen-
Grated institutions.

bar of Chester county, a ripe scholar, an
astute politician, and possessed Of all the
other eminent virtues which certain persons
and journals now ascribe to him, aud yet,
even with ali these gorgeous qualities, he
never would have been thought of as an
American envoy had it not been for that
lucky matrimonial alliance effected in such
mastery manner in 1867. 1t is all folly to
say that auxiliaries and connections don't
count in this world. They change a mans
value sometimes in the most extraordinary
degree, and not unfrequently invest him in
an hour with rare virtues to which his whole
previous life had been an utter stranger.
While we cannot conscientiously admire
Mr. McVeighs appointment ourselves, or even
tacitly join in the extravagant praises which
are being heaped upon him by journals
which have all at once discovered him to be
the classic scholar, the astute politician, and
the man, par ercelLence, for the Turkish
mission, we are compelled involuntarily to
admire the unequalled cunning of the head of
the House of Cameron. When we remember
that little more than a year has elapsed since
Simon Cameron was snubbed publicly at the
White House by General Grant, and mott
fed in the most positive man
per that his presence was not
desired there, and the new admin
istration wanted nothing of his counsel or
assistance, we cannot but feel a glow of some-
thing like enthusiasm over the remarkable
shrewdness and strategy which in so brief
period not only overcame the scruples of the
President but actually turned the dislike and
suspicion into regard and confidence. To
think that the same Cameron who was virtual
ly kicked from the Executive Mansion in 1869
should now, thus early in 1S70 be installed
in its most private room as an esteemed and
trusted visitor, admitted to the close counsels
of the President, advising him, receiving i'm
portant favors at his hands, carrying him in
triumph to his home in Pennsylvania and upon
piscatory excursions along his manorial
streams, is certainly victory of Scottish
shrewdness which must awaken the admira-
ton of every unprejudiced man in the coun-
try. What pity it is that Cameron cannot
be the father-in-law of usall There are so
many who have pinings Tor the bright skies
and soft'airs of other lands, and whose ply
sical natures stand in dire need of the genial
influence of foreign travel, who have yet not
the proportion of stamps necessary for the
indulgence of such luxury, and upon whose
heads no rain of official honors seems likelyto
fall. To such the bosom of the 'Lochiel'
would indeed prove aA earthly heaven, and it
is sad to think there are no more daughters
of that noble house to marry.

FINANCIAL POSSIBILITIES.
From. the NJ Y. Times.

from tfS NJ II. It3IleS.
What is meant when Congress is asked to
mature ''a financial policy?Y The connection
in which the demand is sometimes urged sug-
gests confusion of ideas, and an erroneous
estimate of the power of legislation on the
part of those who urge it. The expansionists
who compelled Mr.. Garfield to change his
course are of this number. They are among
the quacks of the day. They confound cur
rency with prosperity, and imagine that the
multiplication of banking facilities makes
certain the growth of individual wealth. The
financial policy which these men would esta-
blish would be an unmixed evil. The strength
with which combination has enabled them to
invest it in the House converts it into a
danger which We rely on the Senate to avert.
1t is in the power of Senators at least to pre-
vent imitation. If the alternative be no i'm
mediate redistribution of national bank cur
repey, the leagued Representatives from the
West and South must suffer. Better that than
the loss and mischief inseparable from nm
wsIrsnted expansion. But their obstinacy

A COURT OF CRITICISM.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

From the NJ Y. Tribune aa 5000
We hear SO much from public reformers
nowadays about venal praises and malicious
assaults in the newspapers, that it is mex
pressibly pleasant to come across musical
criticism which has all the sanction of for
NAL judicial decision. This rare combination
of aesthetics and law has lately emanated from
the Sixth District Court of New Orleans,
Cooley, j., before which august tribunal the
claims of certain Miss Blanche Ellerman to
pecuniary compensation and the merits of
the Richards Bernard Opera Company, judged
taneossly determined. OF the rights of Miss
Ellerman's case we are happily ignorant. For
present purposes it is enough to know that
Mrs. Richings- Bernard engaged the lady as
assistant prima-d donna, and afterward refuged
to pay her on the ground that she did not
know how to sing. Hence the New Orleans
suit, which hinged upon the question whether
Miss Ellerman has the voice and culture re-
quisite for an assistant prima-donna The
members of the Richings troupe testified
almost unanimously that she had not; while
on the other hand professor Curto spoke of
her yocalization as indicative of both natural
capacity and artistic culture, and Professor
Seward confirmed the estimate of Professor
Curto." Ia this conflict of evidence We won-
per that his Honor, who has taste for tunes,
did not send for few fiddles and things and
let Miss Ellerman show on the spots what she
was good for. Instead of that he proceeded
to analyze the testimony and to give the
Richings company one of the most slashing
| criticisms We remember ever to have read.

BILE Career Of n Remarkable
Craft.

In 1864 the feet of Admiral Farragut was
blockading Mobile, while heavy land and
naval attack was directed against Charleston.
During our long defensive war great deal
of ingenuity had been expended by the Con
fedcrates upon torpcdoes and torpedo boats.
The most remarkable of these boats was con-
structcd in Mobile by Messrs. Hurley & Nc
Clintock, and launched in 1864 and moth
ing which has gone down into the sea was
more wonderfully or more fearfully contrived
to wreak destruction and vengeance upon
friend and foe. She was built of boiler iron,
and impervious to water or air. Her extreme
length was about thirty feet, with five or six
feet beam, and about five or six feet depth
Of hold. In general contour she resembled
cigar, sharp at both ends. She was propelled
by screw, the shaft Of which ran horizon
tally along her hold, almost from stem to
stern, and was turned by the manual force
of eight men, seated along it on either side
The only hatchway was circular, about two
feet in diameter, with a low combing around
it which was placed we'll forward, and when
desired, could be closed by an iron cap work
ing on hinges and made air tight. Iu the
forward part of this cap was inserted clear
glass bulls eye, through which the pilot could
see. She was provided with water,tigit
compartments, by filing or emptying which
she would sink or rise, and to enable her to
rise instantly, her ballasting Of railroad bars
was placed on her bottom, outside of her hull,
and by means Of keys accessible to her crew,
could be detached in moment, so that she
would rise quickly to the surface. Besides
her rudder, which Was of the usual form,
this vessel was equipped with side paddles or
fins, which, like those of a fish, served to
guide it up or down with reference to the
surface Of tho water m

100 feet long, and her Grew having embarked,
the water tanks were filled until tho boat was

hatohway was closed, the men revolyed tho
sl,eft, the captain or pilot, standing under
the hatch, steered tho boat, regulating at the
same time, by the action of her literal fins,
tho depth at which she would move. Her
greatest speed did not exceed fourknots..-
She GOULD remain submerged for half an hour
or an hour, without any great Inconvenience
to her crew-and on ono occasion has been

The Parting of Summer.

ny MRS. HEMANs.
Thou'rt bearing hence thy roses,
Glad summer; fare thee well
Thou'rt singing thy last melodies
In every wood and dell;
But ere the golden sunset
OF thy latest lingering day
O tell ME o'or this cl,cckered earth
How hast thou passed away?
Brightly, sweet summer, hri; htly,
Thine hours have hoatcd by
To the joyous birds Of the woodland boughs-
The rangers of the sky;
And brightly midst the garden flowers,
To the happy, murmuring be;
But how to human bosoms,
With all their hopes md fears,
And thoughts that mike them eagle wings
TO pierce the ul born years!
Sweet summer! to the captive
Thou hast flown iu burning dreams
or the woods with oil their hopes and leaves
And the blue rejoicing streams.
To the wasted and the weary,
On the bed Of sickness bound
In sweet, delirous fantasies,
That changed with every sound;
To the sailor on the pillows.
In longings wild and vain,
For the gushing founts and breezy hills,
And the homes of earth again.
And unto me, glad summer
How Inst thou flown IN mo
My ohainless footsteps naught have kept
From thy haunts of song and glce.
Thou hast flown in wayward visions,
In memories Of the dead
In shadows from q troubled heart
Der sunny pathway shed;
In brief and sudden srvngs
To fling weight aside;
Midst these thy melodies have ceased,
And all thy roses died
But 0, thou gentle summer
If greet thy flowers once more,
Bring me again the buoyanoy
Whcrcwih my soul should soar.
Give me to hail thy sunshine
With song and spirit free;
Or in purer land than this,
May our next meeting be!
