Fifteenth Amendment Celebration at
COlumbuS--.Speech of Governor
r34.t. Hayes.
CoLuMBUs, April ID.

COLUMBUS, April -.
The colored people Of this city celc-
bralcd tho ratification Of the Fifteenth
Amendment to-day, A procession, one
mile in length, paradcd the. streets in the
afternoon and made fine appearance In
the evening ihc large Opera House was
crowded With people to witness the tab.
leanX and hear the speeches.
Governor Hayes made the following
speech: u
We celebrate tonight tho first triumph
Of righteous cause, after Il long, evGnttul
and memorable struggle. The conflict
which Afr. Seward pronounced "irrepres'
sible" nj last Is ended. The house which
was divided against itself, and which,
therefore, according to Mr.. Lincoln, could
not sland as 1t was, Is divided no longer,
and we may now nationally hope that un'
der Providence It Is destined to stand,
long to stand, the home Of freedom and
refuge Of tho oppressed of every race
and Of every cline. The great
leading facts Of the contest are
80 familiar that need not attempt to re-
nttllem. They belong TO the history
Of two famous wars, the war Of the reVo.
luton md the war Of the rebellion, and
arc part Of the story Of almost hundred
years Of civil strife. They began with
Bunker Hill aud Yorktown, with the
declaration Of independence and the
adoption Of the Federal Constitution;
they end with Fort Sumter and the fall
of Richmond, with the emancipation
proclamation and the anti.slavcry or
coual rights amendments to the Consti.
tuition of the nation. These long unl
anxious years werc not years OF I'm.
broken, ceasClGas warfare; there were
periods Of lnll, of truce, Of compromise;
but every lull was short lived, every
truce was hollow and every compromise,
however pure the motives Of Its authors,
proved dcCcitful and vain There could
iIO no lasting peace until the great wrong
was destroyed and impartial Justice cs'
iabllsllcd. The history Of this period Is
adorned with long list Of illustrious
names, with the names Of men who were
indeed Sol0mons In council and Samp'
sons in the field. Al It's beginning there
were Washington, Franklin and Jefter'
son and their compeerS, and in the last
great crisis Providence was equally
gracious and gave us such men as Lincoln
and Stanton and Geo. II. Thomas. All
who hore their part in the great conflict
may now with grateful hearts rejoice that
It Is forever ended. The newly made citi.
2CnS, who seem 10 carry Of the lions
share Of the fruits Of tho victory, Il Is
specially fitting and proper thai they
should assemble to cong gatulatC each
other, and 10 be congratulated by all Of us
TINT they now enjoy for the first time In
full measure the blessings OC freedom and
manhood. Those RlsO who have Opposetl
many Of the late steps Of the great progress,
itisa great satisfaction to know that SO
large number Of them gracefully &C.

THE Fifteenth Amendment cniran.
cIiscQ, II would seem, not only the negro,
hut tic hitherto disfranChised whites
The Constitution OF the State Of Rhode
Island provides that adopted citizens must
own real estate TO the value Of $lS4, to
entitlc them to vote. Under this prOvis.
ion great many respectable citizens Of
foreign birth in that State have been cx-
cluded from the ballot. Since the adop'
tion Of the Fifteenth Amendment, a mum.
ber OF citizens OF this class have resolved
to test their rights under it, and last week,
at the town meeting In Kingston, some Of
them presented their votes, with their
names and claims to the franchise, In wri-
ting. The moderator received the votes
md placed them in an envelope. These
ballots will be forwarded 10 the Lcglsla-
turc Of the State, to be canyasscd: 1t Is
believed that this action will speedily rc.
suit in confirming the right Of naturallzetl
citizens to vote In Rhode Island without
u property Qualifcation.-N 7. Sun.

TEACHERS INSTITUTES.

OFFICE GEN'L SUIT. OF FREE SCHOOLS, |
CHARLESTON, April II, 1870. !
To County Saperintendents, Teachers and
Friends Of Education!
DR.. Sears, General Agent Of the Pea'
body Fund, has generously consented 10
bear n portion Of the expense Of a vigor'
Gus campaign of Teachers Institutes, In
this State, during the ensuing summer,
making 1t possible, with sufficient interest
and effort on our part, to realize 80 very
desirable an object. What is wanted, Ia
|. To hold IL State Institute, at some
convenient point, and have all the earnest
live County Superintendent attend 1t,
together with as many as possible Of the
teachers and friends Of education general
". The expectation Is TO have distinguish
cd educators from abroad to assist the
General Superintendent; so that the
County Superintendents present may be-
come moro adequately fitted to assist In
conducting Institutes in tlcir respective
counties, It Is also anticipated to reorgan'
ize our State Association. Tho railroad
will return free those in regular atten'
dance, and II Is expected thHt free enter
talnment will bO extended during the ses'
sion ofiour days continuance.
2. A second object is TO occupy tho
months Of July and August, and perhaps
a part at least Of September, in holding
county Institutes, Several Of these will
have 10 bo held at the same time; and, o.
course, the General Superintendent Cannol
attend them all. But he will attend as
many as possible. And, for those he cay
not Sitend, he will provide some Compe
tent and prominent educator to attend in
Ills stead. At these county institutes Il
Is hoped to secure the attendance Of ctrrS
DerSon In the county iChO ,eitIEs to teach n'
ensuing rinter. And, other things being
coual, trustees are instructed TO employ
those who attend in preference to thost
