The resignation Of Congressman
Devices. of North Carolina, and Col
lady of Kentucky looks bad for these
gentleman. They now occupy the
same platform with Mr.. Whittemore
of South Carolina. Our Democratic
exchanges have entertained their
readers for some time past with spicy
dispositions on the degeneracy of
Whittemore. We are anxious to hear
from these same papers on Golladay,
one Of the chivalrous sons of Ken
lucky.
1t Is evident that Congress is in
earnest IN its efforts to ferret out cor
ruption and punish offenders. In this
it is but in harmony with President
Grants administration, which has
displayed unusual energy in this di-
rection. and by so doing has verified
the promise Of the convention which
nominated him when it pledged the
people that his election should inau
gurate q faithful collection of the rev
enues of the country and an homes
disbursement of the same.

THE Accommodating States
have ratified the proposed Fifteenth
Article of Amendment to the Con-
stitution Of the United States. They
are as follows:
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio. West Virginia, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, In
diana, Illinois. Michigan. Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, fNevada,
Missouri. Arkansas, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida,
Texas and Nebraska.
IF any question is raised as to the
present status of Georgia and Texas
-as cannot consistently be done by
the opponents of the Amendment
there are still twenty-eight ratifying
States, which is the full number re
quired. The delay in the official an
nouneement of the Amendment as a
part of the Constitution, arises from
the fact that the Secretary of State
has not received from all the States
the official papers, announcing the
ratification Of the Amendment by
their Legislatures. We look for the
official announcement by Secretary
Fish, in a few days.

fy their constituents, because Of this
diversity. Under the new arrange
ment, the city will have only two riv-
er wards, the Second and Third. The
Sixth will have a river frontage but is
not in the full sense of the word a
river ward. Back of these two river
wards are the Fourth and Fifth lying
in the heart of the city, the blocks
composing them having a com.
mon interest in street and other
improvements. The outlying Wards,
the Fifth, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth, it will be seen. are convenient
ly arranged both for the voters and the
councilmen who may be selected tC
represent them. We are confden
the more closely the people scrutinize
the new arrangement the better they
will be pleased with it. That it is fal
superior to the wretehed apportion
ment Of the past year no one will
doubt who examines any good map O.
