The Enforcement Bill.

This is the euphonism of the bill which re-
Gently passed Congress to enforce the 18th
amendment, and the name could not have been
more appropriate. 1t attemps to do what moth
ing but brute force ought to be capable of dong.
In the matter of election frauds, particularly,
it is admirably calculated to enforce Outrages
that ten years ago would, in this tree land,
have failed at the point OF the bayonet. Take
a sample
BY the provisions of the BILL if any candidate
for Office in Southern State, or elsewhere,
fails of election through lack of votes, he is
and show that a certain number of negroes
were ready to vote for him had they not been
prevented from so doing, and these missing
ballots are forthwith counted in his favor.
This comes near reducing the election system
to science. Let us illustrate the matter. a
gallant carpet-bagger in Georgia runs for the
legislature he gets twenty votes and his oppo-
nent thousand Under ordinary circumstan-
ces the defeated man would consider himself
beaten by majority of $50, but this Fifteenth
Amendment bill relieves our arpet-bagger
from any difficulty in the premises. He pre-
sents himself before radical United States
Judge, and swears there were eleven hundred
gentlemen in black excluded from the polls,
every one of whom intended depositing
"loyal' ballot. One or twonegroes are brought
in as witnesses, and the court declares that the
eleven hundred votes which the earpet-bagger
did not get shall be placed to his credit, and
he is triumphantly elected.
There is no appeal from this decision, and
should there be any resistance the army and
navy are detailed to crush the incipent re-
bellion at once. We present section 81 of the
Fifteenth Amendment bill as the brightest
gem in the coronet of reconstruction.

The Suffrage Question.

There is quite hullabaloo being raised
against the new constitution Of Illinois by the
Quincy Herald, Joliet Signal and sundry other
democratic journals, on account Of its exclu.
sion of the word "whitc" from the article on
suffrage, thus giving negroes the right to vote.
1t is Nc reply to these editors to say, that in
this the constitution but conforms to the con-
stitution of the L.. s., it is left by the adop-
ton Of the 18th amendment, for the 18th
amendment, they say. was never legally adopt
ed. A matter of fact, that is doubtless
true. Not one Of the ten southern states
counted in favor Of that amendment ratified
it except by the grossest fraud and Il total
disregard of everything resembling decent
observance Of the constitutional mandate in
the premises. But unquestonably the forms
in the case are all right and by what process,
will these editors please explain, is the 18th
amendment to be undone or declared null and
void! Will the supreme court of the U. S. do
it: Will that court go behind the "broad
seal" of the states of Georgia, South Carolina,
&c, &C.! 1t is folly to imagine that the SUI
preme court will ever do any such thing
The negro is a voter and there is no help
for it {; and once voter, he will always be II
voter. Having by the war been set free. by
the l4th amendment made Il citizen, his be-
ing clothed with suffrage follows as u natural
and inevitable sequence, and the adoption of
forty constitutions in Illinois to drive him
from the polls will not help the matter The
people having swallowed so much of niger
ism as to set him tree and make him citizen,
must take the balance of the dose, even to the
nastiness Of miscegenation. 1t is useless to
"kick against the pricks,'

The Radical Congressional Squabble

The war raging in this district over the
congressional "successon" grows warmer and
warmer, so that it may nearly be said to have
reached the state of incandescence. The
present incumbent has evidently given mortal
offence to the New England wing of ''the par
ty" who, with their long fattenlng on tariff
plumber, have grown iuUnensely rich and inso-
lent, and, it is alleged, have issued their man
date that all western congressman VINO have
shown free trade proclivities are to be slaugh-
tered The Cook men even say that New
England emissaries, with their pockets iull of
greenbacks, are "perambulating" all parts OF
the west to influence the approaching cleo
tons of congressman, and should they fail in
getting men to suit them, talk freely of dis
membering the party.
In this district, they appear to have settled
the succession" on Mr.. Frank Corwin, a very
decent man, but undisguised in his champion
ship Of protective legislation. He is of the
old Henry Clay whig school. and stands com
mitted to the protective policy by his whole
political life. His prominence in the party as
Speaker of the last house of representative
seems to give him special favor in the eyes Of
New England.
In saying this much, of course our only
motive is to explain the points involved, so
that the fight may be ineligible to our demo.
cratic readers. Upon the whole, it is emf
nently one of those fights that ought to be
encouraged, on the principle, of course, that
when rogues fall out &c. With Mr.. Cook,
aside from his free trade proclivities. Of course
we can have no sympathy. His past political
life has been one upon which democrats can
dwell only with sadness, if not disgust We
reckon the day is not far distant, when, at
the hand of the democracy, he will receive
his reward. With Frank Corwin personally,
our relations have always been pleasant, while
of course his politics must necessarily be even
more hateful to us than those of Mr.. Cook, if
there can be said to be comparative degree
in the matter The fight is interesting to us,
as indicating the progress of the great split
in the Republican party on the question of free
trade, and relief of the West from the burdens
oftheir New England task masters. 1t is idle,
however, to look to either wing of the repub-
lican party for reform in this matter of tariff
swindling and unequal taxation. 1t is IN in
tcrnecine war among the infldels and heather
solely, while the true faith is in the keeping
of the democracy, and can be successfully
propagated by them alone.
