The Most Formidable War Vessel
Afl0at.

In Governor Randolph's Message Ia,
the New Jersey Legislature We find the
following: rs. .rsail
"As communicated by me to your pre-,
decessors, the vessel known as the este
vens Battery" was bequeathed 10 the.
State by the l;bcrality of tile late Edwin
A. Stevens, ard the sum of ono million
dollars was also left by him to finish the !
vessel in the most complete inanner.-
There is no longer any doubt but the
vessel, when finished, will be the most,
formidable war vessel aiioat and. though,
constructed at cost little short Of two
millions of dollars. will be much better
worth the money than any vessel of sini-s.,
liar cost in our own or other nayies The +,
vessel is being completed under the per,
sonal superintendcnce of General Gcor-
ge b. Mcclellan and Captain Newton,
which alone is sufficient to insure to our
people not only every effort thatfdelity
gives, but every aid of the highest in
telligencc. As the consent of Congress
will be necessary to permit tie State to.
lawfully accept the vessel and dispose OF
it, recommend the passage Of joint,
resolution requesting our Representatives
in Washington to procure such consent.
The vessel will be completed within 1871,
and can be finished sooner. if required,
but at an increased cost

COLUMBUS. O., Jan. 81, 1870.
EDITORS SPIRIT: However unpleasant
it may be- yet l deem it my duty to let
the people of Monroe County know that
the much detested Fifteenth Amendment
to the Constitution of the United States
has now passed both branches of the
Ohio Legislature, notwithstanding it was
generally believed, 10th by its friends
and its foes, that it was not the will or
the wish of the people. On Tuesday,
the 18th, the House of Representatives
resolved itself into Committee of the
Whole on Senate Joint Resolution No.
A, which embraces the Fifteenth Amend
ment, with the express understanding
that it was to be the order of the day
until Thursday at 8 o'clock P. NJ. and
should it appear at that time that there
were any members who had not express
ed their views, the time should be exten-
ded until all should have had an oppor-
tunity to do so fully. Regardless of this
promise the RAIDS, by deception, sprung
the previous question on yesterday eve
ning, when there were six or seven mem
bers who had expressed their inten-
tons to debate the subject, and forced
the House to vote, and carried the
measure by fiftyseven yeas to fifty-fve
navs. Among the affirmative votes there
was one the right of whose seat on this
floor is exceedingly doubtful, and one
who has no more right here than man
from Virginia would have. mean L. E.

claiming to represent that county, when,
according to the districting of the State
which was made in accordance with law,
it takes Defiance, Paulding and Williams
Counties to constitute representative
district. In the face of these facts the
Secretary of State had Mr.. BLAKEsLEE
sworn in as member, and the entire
membership of the Republican party has
