The Fifteenth Amendment-Its Effect
on Parties and Politics..
The New York Sun speaks as follows
Of the effect Of the Fifteenth Amendment:
That the Amendment will ever bs re.
scinded 10 but the dream Of simpletons;
i, belongs to the class Of movements that
tread no step backward. 1t will stand.
and i,s provisions will be enforced. IT,
adoption having closed Q long and bitter
controversy. any sttempt to resist its op-
erstions will be fIowned down BY the
people. The politician who does not
recognize ard respect this fact may be 81
lowed TO count one at the polls on the
day of election. bu. will be taught that
he is unfit to lead . great party.
The Amendment confers the hslloi
upon about 900 900 negroes. 800 600 o'
whom reside 10 the old siaveholding
States. 1t gives the Suffrage to Sc coo

Partisan Democracy has gone to seed
pretty thoroughly in nearly all parts o.
the Union; but it crops ont oocssioually
in some of the least civilized sections Of
the country. And the fruit it bears in
these isolated localities is of the same
crsb-spple and choke-pesr variety that !;
yielded in the days Of its power. The
latest sample of its predictions is exhib
tied in Montana:
"a letter to the Helena Herald states
that the two most important bills pending
in the Legislature there are bill to col

providing that none but Missourisns and
those who have served three years in the

letter of later date announces that ths
bill providing that mono but Missourisns
and those who have served three years in
the rebel army shall be eligible to effice'
had passed the Legislature, and bad been
vetoed BY the Governor. but that ths
Council had passed the bill over the ve-

Doing u Handsome Thing Meanly.

The Committee on Foreign Relations pro-
poses to do what is right with the excess of the
Chinese indemnity fund-give it to the Chi
nese. This money came into our hands in a
way that might give us fair legal right to it.
Upon our fixing certain sum, with the reser-
walton that if there was any excess it should
BE- returned to the Chinese, they agreed to pay
that sum; but they declared they would
rather pay smaller sum and relinquish the
claim to any excess there might be, and they
then named the smaller sum- We accepted
the proposition, and the money was paid. Yet
upon this smaller sum there was an excess
and this, though not legally bound to do 80,
we are to return; but for these reasons,
"This act" says the committee, twill be a
victory in new field, making us first in new
order of couquerors. China, with infinite
resources, will be more than ever open to
American enterprise. Thus, while doing right,
shall we benefit ourselves So is justice to
others the way to national advantage" These
are mean reasons for doing what is right and
degrade this money to mere purchase money
at last. The committee has no right to make
the imputation that follows when it apologies
to the country for doing what is honest.
