Committee on Military Affairs.
FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.

The Fifteenth amendment seems to be
in fair way to be ratified by sufficient
number of States to make it part of the
Constitution notwithstanding the with
drawal of New York. The action of the
Ohio Legislature gives hope of favorable
decision upon the part Of that State, but
even without that the chances are in favor
of the adoption of the amendment. The
prompt action of Mississippi meets the ex-
pectations of the northern friends of re.
construction. Texas will follow in the
same direction, and with Rhode Island,
Iowa and Nebraska, about which there
can be no doubt, the ratification will be
complete. With this amendment engrafted
upon the Constitution, the great work OF
securing equal rights for all without dis
tinction of race or color will be well done,
and the African and the Asiatlc may be
left to work out their own destiny in then
own way.
