represented in either house of Congress
and we think that they had no right in law
or equity to voice in the ratification of the
amendments. But others think differently
and have right to their belief. It is mere
ly an abstract belief, for the supreme court
having declared the amendments legal and
operative, they have no resort but to obey
them.
We regret greatly that this discussion has
been forced upon the Senate. 1t can accom-
plish no good, and is occupying the timo
that should be devoted to the public bust
ness. 1t will fail as political dodge, for the
Democracy cannot be driven into position
hostile to the constitution or any of it's
amendments. They have already expressed
themselves in favor Of a declaration affirm
ing the validity of the results accomplished,
out DO not propose to be committed in favor
OF the assertion that the States that were
temporarily out of the Union had no rights

knowledge to be debatable ground. It
would be at variance with the policy of the
organization, for it has always accorded to
all the utmost freedom to hold and to OK
press whatever opinions they might think
to be right.
Less than a month of the existence of the
present Congress remains, and yet tho Sens
ate has scarcely considered any of the ap-
preparation bills that must be passed before
the 4th of March. The time has been frit-
tered away in useless aud hurtful political de-
bate-in attempts to excite sectional ami
mosities for partisan purposes. These de-
bates have been causeless, and have been
precipitated uniformly by the Republican
members for no avowed public good what
ever. Such policy is decidedly reprehen-
sible, and must inevitably react upon the
originators.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS,
In the debate on the Edmunds resolutions
affirming the validity of the thirteenth. four
tenth and fifteenth amendments to the con-
stitution on tuesday, Senator Bayard made
perhaps the best point of the discussion. He
did not in any way call in question the valid
ity of the amendments, but protested that
the resolutions were not part of the legsla-
tive business of the Senate. They were ac-
companied by the odor of the caucus and
not that of the committee room. They sa-
vored more of party tactics than true states
manship, and did nothing to relieve the wants
of the people of the country. If it was
proper for this Senate to declare the validity
of these amendments, then another party in
power could bring resolution declaring
their invalidity. To such doctine he could
never consent.
This lie the whole question in nutshell.
No person of any party has attempted to
assert that the amendments are not of full
force and effect, no matter how they may re-
gard the manner of their adoption, nor is it
at all probable that at any future time these
amendments would be disturbed except bv
legitimate and legal means. Certainly the
Democratic party will not attempt to set
them aside, for it has pledged itself over and
over again to abide by the results accom-
plished. The introduction OF the resolu-
tons in question is therefore but cheap
political trick, designed to make party capt.
tai for the Republican party.
While the GLOBE is of opinion that the
constitutional amendments under discussion
were legally and properly adopted, we can
understand very we'll how others may hon
estly differ from our view, and at the same
time honestly respect and abide by the
amendments. At the time they were ratified
many of the States were in rebellion against
the authority of the government, or had not
been reorgauized fully after the rebellion had
been suppressed. Although technically
members of the federation of States, they
were in fact, by their own act, out Of the
Union, or occupied the relative positions
OF territories only. They were not
