REPEAL IS IMPOSSIBLE.
The Fifteenth Amendment VIII Renal
In Eorce Deanite Southern Profesta.

The Fifteenth Amendment VIII Remain
In Force Despite Southern Protests.
We think Representative Bowles told
his colleagues in the Legislature of the
State Of Mississippi some wholesome
truths concerning the chances of that
repeal Of the fifteenth amendment to
the constitution Of the United States
which majority of the said Legislature
reques IS the National Congress to con-
slider.
Said Mr.. Bowles: 1.-THE adoption of
this memorial by this Legislature would
be an objectionable waste of time"
Most certainly. The fifteenth amend
ment never will be repealed; Congress
never will so much as seriously consider
the question of its repeal. 1t is in the
constitution to stay.
Six millions of people creating for
themselves $500, 600, 600 worth of proper
ty in twenty-five years, and ont of just
nothing at all but an original capital Of
unskilled labor, passing from absolute
slavery through prescription and perse-
cution to this honorable condition af a
withdrawing force are tit for citizen
ship. There could be found more than
six millions Of whites in the Southern
tier whose aggregate possessions would
not foot up one-half of the total owned
by the colored race.
This is not time in which the tenn
per of the workmen of the North can be
expected to sanction the Mississippian
attempt toward permanent debase-
ment and eternal impoverishment of
the laboring class of the South. Econ
omy knows nothing of color, caste or
race; it regards labor as an equation.
and when the force of that equation is
weakened in Mississippi it is weakened
in Maine, for the scope Of the labor
problem is universal. In this country
whatsoever pays taxes has right to say
how the taxes shall be levied and ex-
pended, and who shall execute the laws
made to protect the commonwealth
from which the public revenue is de-
rived. 1t was to establish this principle
that the war of the revolution was
fought. The country would have rested
quietly under British rule il British
rule had not run counter to this princi-
pie.
The negro pays taxes, every year pays
moro taxes, every year will pay more
taxes in exact proportion as his natural
right to do the best that he can for him
self, according to the measure of his
ability, is recognized The right never
has been and never will be fully exer-
cisad by race deprived Of the voting
power. These are the facts lying at the
foundation OF the miscalled NEGRO ques-
ton" Color has nothing to do with 1t;
social equality neither has nor can have

THE DEADLY MALARIA.
Even the Ancient Romans Recognized II
Terrible Power.


Terrible Power.
What, then, is this invisible agent which
carries sickness and possible death so far
afield, and has the power to weaken the
energy and stunt the growth of those who
are doomed to live on malarious soill "We
do not live" said an inhabitant of the Pom
tine marshes to a stranger; 'we die"
Malaria constitutes the chief obstacle to the
exploration and colonization of the African
continent, and threatens to reduce to the
condition of a desert vast tracts of the
Southern States of America, which -four
ished so long as they were cultivated by
the negro race, which, better than any
other, resists its action. Cicero, in allusion
to Romulus having built Rome, remarks
that he selected q healthy spot in a pestilen-
tial region C'iocum DELIGHT in regione pesti.
lenti salubrem'0. At one time a terrible
epidemic visited Rome, which carried off
multltudes Of the inhabitants, including
Camillus the Dictator. Toward the close of
this visitation the earth opened in the mid
die of the forum doubtless by volcanic ac-
tion), which was probably also the cause of
the poisonous miasmata rising from the
bowels Of the earsh. Indeed, the volcanic
nature of the Italian peninsula generally
contribute to its insalubrity. The volcanic
soil of Italy, we are told, acts as a sponge
in absorbing and retaining an immense
quantity of moisture. Hence, after period
of drought, the tropical rains, which fall
steadily for days together, mako but little
impression on the surface of the parched
earth till the underlying spongeis saturated.
The overflow then becomes sudden, the
brooks rapidly ill, every extinct crater be.
comes a lake replenished, every valley
bog, and the country universal swamp.
So long ago as three hundred years
before Christ the connection between the
fever and the swamp was fully recognized
in that region Of the earth. But, although
true that the disease is more prevalent in
the low lying grounds, it may also be found
in the higher attitudes, where soil, temper
ature and moisture favor its production.
Still it does not haunt the damp and
marshy places alone, for even in dry, sun
baked parts Of the earth the malaria finds
egress through the assures of the soil,
keeping its base of operations in the
moisture far beneath. If the upper crust
is unbroken and dry it acts as barrier
against the egress of germs from below,
just as coating Of water over malarious
land neutralizes, for the time being, the
necessary conditions Of activity. When
the surface water is withdrawn by the heat
Of the summer sun, and the oxygen Of the
air comes into direct contact with the de-
composing vegetation underneath, there, IN
all probability, may be discovered the home

would have nothing to do with it II only
the Democrats of the South would cease
to array themselves solidly against tho

stood before her, my arms folded on my
breast Overcome though was by tho
wonder Of her loneliness, hated tn my
heart. this woman who dared to clothe her
self in the dress Of Isis-this usurper who
sat upon my throne, this wanton squander-
ing the wealth Of Egypt in chariots and
perfumes. When she had looked me over
from the head to the feet she spake In q
low full voice and in the tongue Of Khemi,
which she alone had learned Of all the Lag
idR:
"And who and what art thou, Egyptian
for Egyptian see thou art-who darest to
smlte nv slave when I make progress
through my city"
81 am Harmachis,"I answered, boldly
"Harmachis the astrologer. adopted son of
the High Priest and Governor of Abouthis,
who am come hither to seek my fortune.
/ smote thy slave, o Queen, because for no
fault he struck down the woman yonder.
Ask of those who saw, Royal Egypt"
"Harmachis ~ she said; "the name hath
high southland thou hast high look. !"
And then speaking to q soldier who had
seen all, she babe him tell her what had
come to pass. This he did truthfuily, being
friendly disposed toward me, because had
overcome the Nubian. Thereon she turned
and spoke with the girl bearing the fan who
stood beside her-a woman having curling
hair and shy, dark eyes, very beautiful to
see. The girl answered somewhat. Then
Cleopatra babe them bring the slave to her.
So they led forward the giant, who had
found his breath again, and with hum the
woman whom he had smitten down.
Thou dogp she said, in the same low
III I ba,p or
didst smite down this woman, and, being
coward, vast overthrow of this young man.
See, thou, I will teach thee manners.
Henceforth, when thou smitest women, it
shall be with thy left arm. Ho, guards,
seize this black coward and strike off his
right hand.'
And her command given, she sank back
in her golden chariot, and again the cloud
gathered in her eyes. But the guards
seized the giant, aud, notwithstanding his
cries and prayers fo- mercy, struck off his
hand with sword upon the wood Of the
scaffolding, and he was carried away groan-
ing. Then the procession moved on again.
As it went the fair woman with the fan
turned her head, caught my eye, and smiled
and nodded as though she rejoiced, whereat
l wondered somewhat.
The people cheered also and made jests,
saying that should soon practice astrology
in the palace. But as soon as we might
and my uncle escaped, and made our way
back to the house. All the while he rated
me for my rashness; but when we came
within the chamber of the house he en-
braced me and rejoiced greatly, because
with so little hurt to myself had over
thrown the giant.

Widows in India.

There are 5000, 600 widows in India, and
as the majority of marriages take place
under ten, the greater part of these women
become widows as children. A Hindoo
widow can never marry again, even if her
husband dies before the ceremony of mar
riage. If she is betrothed she is condemned
to widowhood for the rest of her life. As a
widow she must give up all the pleasures
Of this world. She must never wear any
iewelry, never sleep on bed, and for the
rest Of her life she becomes the slave of her
mother-in-law's family. She eats by her
self and cooks her own food.

the great road which pierces through the
city, even to the Canopic Gate. For there
in my uncle had purchased right to enter,
and that dearly.
And with much struggle we won our way
through the great crowds that were al
ready gathered in the streets, till we
reached the scaffolding of timber, which
was rooted in with an awning and gayly
hung with scarlet cloths. Here we seated
ourselves upon a bench and waited for
some hours, watching the multitude press
past, shouting, singing and talking loudly
in many tongues. At length came soldiers
to clear the road, clad, after the Roman
fashion, in coats of chain armor After
them marched heralds enjoining silence
(whereat the populace sang and shouted all
the more loudly, and crying that Cleo
patra, the Queen, was coming. Then fol-
lowed thousand Cilician skirmishers, a
thousand Thracians, a thousand Macedo-
mans, and thousand Gauls, each armed
after the fashion of their own country
Then passed five hundred men Of those
who are called the Fenced Horsemen, for
both men and horses Were altogether COW
cred with armor. Next came youths and
maidens sumptuously draped and wearing
golden crowns, and with them images SYM
bolizing Day and Night, Morning and Noon,
the Heavens and the Earth. After these
came many fair women pouring perfumes
on the road, and others scattering bloom
ing flowers. Now there rose great shout
of Cleopatra! Cleopatra" and held my
breath and bent forward to see her who
dared to put on the robes of Isis.
But at that moment the multitude so
gathered and thickened in front Of where
was that 1 could no longer clearly see So
in my eagerness leapt over the barrier of
the scaffolding. and, being very strong,
pushed my way through the crowd till l
reached the foremost rank And, as I did

Case Dismissed.

In Baltimore yesterday Judge Bond dis
missed the appeal Of Robert A. McGnn, q
colored preacher, WHO charged the owners
Of the steamer Mason L Weems with vic
lating the civil service law. The facts in
this case are these: 10 July, 1877, the libel
liant, colored man. purchased frs,-class
ticket for passage from Baltimore to Mill
beck, Va, on board the steamer Mason l..
Weems, which belonged to the defendants.
The court says: There we're provided in
the same saloon t@o tables of equal spread,
with the same food and like attendance.
The appellant was required TO sit at one,
where other coored pgrsons were 10 be &C
commodated, bat refused 10 sit with hiapec
pie and insisted upon sitting at 3 different
table. The Steamboat company made o sep
aration. but no distinction between pasaep-
gers, ard the appellant, hy his conduct, ap
pears to have been the only person on board
who did so, or laid any efIcnt Oh the color
ed passengers by refusing TO sit with them.
The libel. ought to have been dismissed, na
was done, and the appeal will be dismissed,
likewise, with costs.
