The FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT Georgia rat
makes the necessary three-fourths required by
the Constitution to effect an amendment. Two
more States are certain to ratify--Nebrsska
and Texas-which will make thirty that have
ratified to six that have rejected; or seven, if
New York be counted, for it has both ratified
and rejected. Thus, by the the provisions of
the Constitution, universal suffrage is incorpo-
rated into our organic law.
The right or wrong of this question is not
any more to be considered. 1t is not any longer
question, but fact, and we doubt not polit-
cal parties will govern themselves accordingly.
Great issues are to be decided through the
ballot;box, which viii be approved by one
party and opposed by the other. TO carry
these issues at our popular elections will be
just as desirable in thefuture as it has been in
the past Men will be just as anxious for Office
ipthe future as they have been in the past.
1t takes votes to secure either issues or Offices,
and they will be sought for wherever they can
be found. Every legal voter will be in demand
on election day, and even some that ara not
legal will be secured No matter what may
betheif color or condition, if few. more votes
are required, and they can be obtained, any
man Of any party will be apt to seek them to
make himself or his party successful. The
situation will be accepted by all, no matter who
wassresponsible for it. In the reconstructed
States this has been the case. The negroes
voted with the Conservaties," or Democrats,
5ust as they did with the Radicals, and in a
number of instances the Conservatives defeated
the Radicals by negro votes, and in two or
three instances Conservative negro Offices have
Deen elected oEer Radical white ones. The
situation has been accepted in the reconstruct
cd States, and it will be accepted in the other
States when it comes upon them. The negroes
will not all vote on one side, as the Southern
elections prove. They will hold the balance
of power, however, and this balance will be
desired as much by the Democrats az by the
Republicans. The COnservates in the South
expect to get control of the State governments
by tlj+ cory II gro vote. Says the Baltimore
Sun, lDemOcraticl:
g. 1t would seem that the Southern conser
Vatiges, being upon the ground, it they Car
convince the cOlOred people that they are a
good friends TO them politically as they know
them to be personally, will have great ad
vantage. Besides, the interests of the tw
races in the South are identical, and that whicl
is the national policy Of the South as a section
as, for example, opposition to high tariff,
equally the policy, and can be shown to be so
of both Southern whites and blacks.
No matter how much the Democrats ma
have opposed this Amendment heretofore
they will seek the negro vote when it goes int
force.

In a case involving the Legal Tender Act,
Chief Justice Chase, Of the United States Su-

Court, that a contract made before the passage
of the Legal Tender law cannot be discharged
in United States notes. The Court holds that
notes legal tender for pre-existing private
debts. Three Of the Judges, however, Miller,
Swayne and Davis dissented. This decision
seems 60 be nothing more nor less than that

The Wisconsin Legislature has passed n reso-
luton for the polyglot printing Of the Govern
ors Message, of which German, Low Dutch,
Norwegian, Welsh, and Bohemian copies are
to be issued at the public expense, to the great
emolument Of the translators and printers. The
language of this country is English, and in this
language all public business, whether munich
pal legislative, or rjudcial is transacted. 1t is,
therefore, the first public duty of foreigner
who has become legal citizen to acquire as
much English as possible, and to see to it that
his children read and speak it fuently. A
small State, in which the same public docu-
ments must be issued in six different tongues,
can hardly be making that progress in popular
assimilation which is certainly to be desired.
