IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE.

Last week, Wednesday, President
GRAFT and his Secretary Of State,
promulgated the ratification Of the
Fifteenth Amendment, and it is now
part fthe fundamental law of the
land. On Friday night the Presi-
dent was sernadeI and made o very
pretty little speech on the subject,
saying that cit looked like the rea-
lization Of the Declaration of indie
pendence." OF course all the lead
ing Democrats of the country, like
Senator Hendricks, are wise enough
to accept the situation and labor for
the "colored vote" The New York
Democrats who have fought against
the Amendment with the utmost bit
terness, nos have the brass to turn
around and declare that they are the
special friends of the "colored vo.
ters," and always have been. Some
Of the sleepy old fogies Of the Dem
oeratic party, who really suppose
that Jefferson was the father of the
so called Democratic party Of the
present day, propose .o.fght against
the Fifteenth Amendment and eve
rything else that the war has settled
They will continue TO vote for Gem
eral jackson. Peace to their ashes

The following circumstances are
quite amusing. VOORHEES,, the man
who holds the position Of remark
ably wonderful leader in the Demo-
cratic party of this State, delivered
a speech last Thursday night. at In
dianapolis. He came from WASH
ington to reply to Senator Morton's
speech of the 22d of February. He
spoke three hours. The effort had
been heraled from one end Of the
State to the other. He read q long
lot Of "balderdash" from q manu-
script. He bitterly denounced i'm
partial suffrage. and declared he
wanted none of it. He don't agree
with Hendricks. He did not deny
his connection with the sons Of lib
erty, and his visi. to Vallandigham
and the rebel Commissioners in Cam
ada, in 1864. as was expected. The
speech was long weak affair and fell
dead. The audience, many republi-
cans with the rest, bore the affection
with commendable resignation. He
spoke his piece and departed, and
Senator Morton snd the Republican
party still live, entirely unconscious
of the ripple upon the surface Of the
surgiDg sea of public sentiment.

DECREASE OF BEEF CATTLE.

Many farmers in this country are
coming to the very wise conclusion
that it is important to pay more at
tention 10 the raising OF stock. The
market Is becoming overlooked with
wheat and the price must necessari-
y be very low. The crop in this
county is not always sure; but a
glance at the decrease OF beef cattle
must convince our farmers that it
would be wise for them to pay more
attention TO stock raising The de-
crease of beef cattle to the popula-
ton in this country, during the last
ten years, is SAID to be twenty per
cent The increase in population
being thirty-three per cent. In 1860,
with population of 81, All, 331, we
had 25,640.33 neat cattle in the
country. At the present time, with
. population Of more than 10000
600, we have only 1858, 069. This
showing is according is according
to the report Of the Department of
Agriculture, and exhibits net de-
crease since 1860 of moro than A..
600, 900 of animals. In Texas alone,
since 1866, the decrease in cattle
has been Ala 37. Even the ratio
OF mich cows to population has
greatly decreased in ten years, and
the number of sheep is said to lie
less by one half than ten years ago.
We urge upon our farmers, there
fore the advantage of paying more
attention to stock. They will find
that it viii pay them well, and many
portions of our county are well adj
npted to stock raising. All that is
necessary is little more ambition
and enterprise, and better care Of
stock in winter, and an improve
ment In quality.

Gilman to Springfield the line of

this line upon the map it will be
