There is a room in Hamburg where GER
tain privileged number of bankers and cap
italists meet daily, and follow the move
ments of the different Prussian army corps
with considerable exactness from informa-
ton they receive privately. They calculate
the chances of the conflict with degree of
confidence truly surprising, while the funds
and exchanges are marvelously influenced
bv the problems which are there presented
and solved A series of maps ON very
large scale are spread upon tables, and the
different positions of each corps darmee
marked by their respective flags, are
changed from time to time as advices come
to hand.

An important ordinance was offered in
the Council, last night, by Administrator
Shaw, to provide for the immediate pay
n1ent, when discharged, of laborers upon
the streets or public works; and the pay
ment of them weekly, when retained. The
object of this is to prevent trahicking in and
discounting salaries, and to secure the pay
ment Of his wages to the laborer individually.
Working men, when compelled to wait till
the end Of the month for their means OF
livelihood, must often fall into the hands of
eharpers. If the operation was generally

On COMPULSION, Hal,

1t is a source Of great anxiety to certain
of the calm and peaceful Democracy to
know whether the Republican party is
prepared with vigilance committees, to
keep up a kind Of sanitary surveillance
over the integrity of its fold? Sorter no,
and sorter yes, as an Arkansas bully
might answer if be were in doubt about
the courage of his victim. If the cam
paign is to be conducted on the basis of
reason and argument, there will be no
use for vigilance committees but if,
being worsted in the game of fair discus
sion, the opposition descend to the Jrutonn
f,lIaen of sticks and bludgeons, then we
shall have to meet and beat them there
too. In fact, the Republican party is
blessed with an accommodating DISPOSE
ton in every respect, and is willing to
hang the latch string out in friendly
way, or to draw it in and barricade in an
unfriendly way. The peace of States
must be preserved, and sometimes the
only way TO do it is by scrimmage with
the reckless and intolerant.
There was time when turbulent men
had to be taken in hand, and that time
may come again. Old Wings even now show
little mementoes Of the dishonored ballot
box which they captured in the seventh
precinct years ago; and it may be neces-
sary to initiate their patriotic example,
and show to another generation equally
retributive tokens, The Republicans want
nothing of the sort, but they are prepared
to repeat history for the benefit of those
who never learn anything, except upon
commission.

The hull, sails, rigging, etc, of the par

that took fire with cargo of cotton and
flour on board, was sold at auction Monday
by Messrs. Nash g. Hodgson, for $500 cash.
The purchasers were Messrs. Schwartz a.

put into dry dock and repaired at a cost of
from seven to ten thousand dollars, when
she will be worth, it is estimated, about
forty thousand dollars.

The Seven Wise Men.

The headquarters of this order have been
transferred from the city of New Orleans,
where it was originated in 1852. For six
teen wears it was ruled exclusively by a
Supreme Conclave, sitting at this place.
But in 1868 officers were elected from dit
ferent parts of the Union; and in 1869 the
Supreme Conclave met at Philadelphia.
This year it met in Baltimore, where James
Young was installed as Supreme Archon, III
place of Anthony Sambola, and James X,
Wolfe as Supreme Secretary, in place OF w.
E. Fitzgerald, the New Orleans officers de-
clining reelection. The seat of government
of the order may therefore be considered at
present as at Baltimore.
There is a Grand Conclaye of Louisiana,
sitting at the city Of New Orleans, which is
presided over by William Woelper 1.-THE
clerk of the Sixth District Court, as Grand
Archon. 1t publishes lively and interest
ing journal, 1.-The Heptosoph," edited by
Messrs Anthony Sambola and George IL
Braughn. We are glad to hear that ''Ihe
Heptasoph" is to be continued in New Or
leans, and does not leave with the supreme
body.

The DARIEN EXPEDITION

New YORK, April 0. A letter from the
Darien expedition, dated Caledonia Bay, 10th
ut., states that on arriving the Indians on
both sides the bay We're assured that thew
would not be molested, and their friendship
was secured. Washington river was explored
a mile from its mouth, when the boats sent
found ii impossible to proceed further. and
returned but it was decided to commence
the survey about three hundred wards from
the mouth of this river. Subsequently Capt.
Selfridge, accompanied by other officers and
sixty-tour marines, started by the way of
Caledonia river to reach the head waters of
the Savannah river, and returned on the Sd of
March. They passed over Lieut.. Strains
route for Il considerable distance, following
Caledonia river to the foot of the last RANGE
of the Cordilleras that divides the caribbean
sea from the Pacific slope. Then he crossed
the mountains to the western slope, had an
interview with Indian chiefs, and afterwards
returned. 1t was a successful reconnaissance
demonstrating that the Caledonia river has
a rise of only fifty feet to the mountain spurs
and between that point and the plain Of the
Sucubte river, on the Pacific slope, there is
but one and a half miles of higher elevation
1t is believed the survey will prove that the
watershed between the Caledonia and
Sucubte rivers is not more than $50 feet
Pack mules have been sent for at Carthagcna.
Surveyors are running Il line to the lowest of
the mountain passes, but work is slow, owino
to the dense underground The expedition
is healthy. The Indians are friendly, but #
is said that the Indians on the Pacific slope
are not. Several passes will soon be ex
amined by Capt. Seltrdgc, and all are
sanguine of success.

THE Fifteenth AMENDMENT.

The recent proclamation of Secretary Fish,
claiming the adoption Of the latest proposed
amendment to the constitution. and the ex-
traordinary message of the President calling
special attention thereto, have awakened
public inquiry into the facts of the pretended
ratification. A full and candid consideration
OF all the circumstances will convince any
one that it has not been legally made, and
will not stand the test of judicial invcstiga-
ton. 1t is claimed that thirty states have
ratified, only two more than the required
number to make valid the amendment.
New ! ork cannot be classed with the ratity-
ing States, for the ratification was rescinded
before it had been officially certified to the
State Department. If It is claimed that a
State cannot reverse its action before the
ratification is completed we point to
Ohio, which first rejected the amendment
and afterwards withdrew its rejection and
vote OF Ohio as ratifying State. The rule
must surely be allowed to work both ways.
Again, take Indiana, where a caucus of
radical members. less than quorum, passed
the resolution by the most barefaced illegal
lty MI. Niblack, in Congress, denounced
the whole proceeding of the Indiana Legis-
lature as an insult and fraud upon the
country.
When the cases OF Texas, Virginia, Geor-
gia and Mississippi are considered, the
fraudulent practice is quite as glaring.
Those States were Illegally subjected by
Congress to certain disabilities, ana only OBJ
tained their removal by consentng TO the
ratification. 1t was made condition prcce-
dent. No legal principle is better settled or
clearer than that any action taken or consent
given by party under duress Is void and of
no binding effect. marriage performed,
note signed, deed executed or any kindred
matter, if done by reason of threats, or
otherwise than freely and voluntarily, is
absolutely void. The people Of the States
named, in order to obtain their rights of
representation and a voice in the making of
the laws, were forced to accept this amend
ment.
There can be no doubt that the Supreme
Court, when this question shall be brought
before it, will decide that the constitution has
not been amended as claimed.

1t will be seen by an examination Of the
above table, says the Lancaster Intelligencer
that the negroes will constitute very incon-
siderable element in most of the States nam
ed. In Kentucky and MARYLAND alone are
they sufficiently numerous to be formidable
and in those States the native whites will
control very considerable portion of them.
Maryland and Kentucky will continue to be
steadily Democratic in spite Of the Fifteenth
Amendment
In Pennsylvania the negro vote amounts,
according to Greeley's estimate, TO a,415.
That is a very small fraction in Il voting pop
ulation Of not less than six hundred and
sevcnty-five thousand. It is only one negro
vote to seventy whites The Radicals who
have been calculating on securing 4 continu-
Gus lease upon power by the help of the
negro vote will find that they have counted
without their hosts.
In the South the native whites who are in
close utilization with the Democratic party,
will control a ma ority Of the negro vote so
surely as the blacks 20 to the polls In the
Northern States the element is so unimport-
ant a one that it will he very little felt The
Republican party will be forced to make con-
stant concessions to the blacks if they expect
to hold even q ma oritv of them. Ambitious
negroes will demand share of the offices
even in some parts Of Pennsylvania, and if
their claims are not recognized they will
abandon the party Sambo will not be salts
fled to do the voting for white Radicals He
will insist upon having his share Of the
loaves and fishes. This will breed tronblc.
The Tribune is mistaken in saying that the
amendment will give any new voters to
Maine. The ne grocs have voted in this State,
under its laws. for many years. During the
contest i'll this city on the question of taking
city stock in the Railroad, q leading and
wealthy republican. opposed to the pro ject.

be offset by tnat of a negro in his employ,
who voted in favor. He hadn't calculated
that his political labors would result in civ

large property as the white proprietor him
self was exercising. The Democrats quietly
smiled.
