RUSSELL, BARN DOLLAR and

the people sustained them. Now
STCT7.M AN, LONG EN KCK Ell and

A i.oss of over 6,000 radical votes iu
Connecticut and Rhode island, since
last fall, is claimed by the Inquirer as a
victory for its party. As Pennsylva
nia polls six times as many votes as
these two States together, where would
a proportionate loss in the old Key
stone leave the radicals? Six times
6,000 arc 36,000. Can you stand that
next fail, Mr. Inquirer
TifE radical papers make a practice
of croaking faintly about the enormi
ties of the legislature, just alter that
body adjourns, but when the time for
nominations arrives and the election
draws near, a Sabbath hush prevails
among them on that subject, aud they
generally support for election the very
men they complain of, or others equal
ly bad. Now, this is child's play;
nay, worse, it is cowardice and fraud.
We :isk the public to note how many
radical journals will keep up the war
against a repetition of the iniquities
of the last legislature.
TIIE radical editors who sneeze when
Grant takes snuff, pretend to be en
tirely satisfied with the appointment
of Lougstreet, Crow, Martin and other
ex-Uonfederates, to lucrative offices
under the new administration. These
editors pretty generally desire to be
made fellow office-holders with those
"red-handed rebels," and therefore,
tlrc ti of Lungstreet, Crow and
Martin does not look so ugly in their
eyes a- it once did.
Tin: Inquirer still glorifies over the
Snap Judgment of the legislature by
which the people of Pennsylvania aie
to be deprived forever of the right to
control the question of suffrage. We
are not a whit astonished. The Inqui
rer \s boumltogotoH ayti with the
radical ieaders.
REPEAL is the word 1 Democrats
and Republicans who haven't the
Congressional collar around their
necks, will rally under the banner of
REPEAL and wipe the disgrace of the
XVlh Amendment surrender from the
record of Pennsylvania.

THE FH'TEEXTH AHESBXEKT SIK
KEXOi:R.
There is more in the proposed XVth '
Amendment than the mere question i
of the extension of suffrage. It is not j
what it confers upon certain races,
but what it takes from the people of
the States, that constitutes its most
dangerous feature. We doubt not that
if the more intelligent Africans knew
and understood what the people are
called upon, by this XVth Amend
ment, to give up, they would not accept
the right of suffrage at so great a sacri
fice of popular rights. The truth is
that the purpose of the radical leaders,
in striving to force this Amendment
through the State legislatures, is to
strip the elective franchise of all that
makes it valuable, and they sugar-coat
that purpose by extending the fran
chise to races which have not hither
to enjoyed it.
How is this? asks one. Are you a
voter, or do you expect to be one, and
yet do not know the nature of this
Amendment? Why, it proposes to
confer upon Congress the power to pass
laws regulating the election franchise,
in the States and to fake away from
the people forever (he right to regulate
| and control the suffrage question for
themselves. Under the operation of
this Amendment Congress will possess
the power to enact such laws regula
ting elections in the States, as will en
able its members to re-elect themselves
us often as they choose to l>e candidates.
This divests the ballot of its present
character of freedom and make it the
merest agent of those who are in poss
ession of the government. Not even
the African eares to possess the privi
lege to vote, if he cannot exercise that
privilege as a freeman. It should he
understood by white and black that
the franchise which the XVth A
mendment projnjses to leave to the
people, is not the elective franchise as
it now exists, subject only lo the con
trol of the people, but only the right to
vote as Qjugress may hereafter dictate.
There is "universal suffrage" in France,
but the votes'are cast according to the
pleasure of Napoleon 111. There is to
be "universal suffrage" in the United
States, but the voting is to be done ac
cording to the imperial pleasure of
Congress.
We know that radical editors (-are
nothing about this vital question.—
They are the faithful henchmen of
their masters in Congress. They wear
the collar of the conspirators in the
federal capital. When Congressmen
take snuff, these radical editors sneeze,
and when Butler and Sumner and
Wade announce that white is black
and black white, thesealavish scribblers
are ready to swear upon a stack of
Bibles, that only Butler, Sumner and
Wade tell the truth and all the rest of
mankind are "copperhead, liars," —
Hence we desire it to be distinctly un
derstood that this article is not intend
ed as a reply to any thing that may
have been said upon the subject of the
X Vth Amendment, by ay radical ed
itor, but rather that it is addressed to
decent and intelligent Africans who
are not yet the slaves of party.

DEMOKEST'S MONTHLY.— This Mag

up with the times every year, and al
most every number is an improvement
on the last. Its varied departments
furnish exactly what every lady needs
throughout the country, and its im

shows that they know it. The promi
nent features of Patterns, the "Ladies'

them worth more than the price of the

It will repay your time richly to go
through White's Dental Depot. The
building alone is a marvel of marble,
costliness and extent. The first floor is
occupied by Baily as a Jewelry store, •
said to lie the finest on this continent,
The first object that dazzles your eyes j
is a lamp of silver from the Colorado
mines worth upwards of SIO,OOO. Some
men would squeeze that!! And what a
pocket full of rock ! But we won't go
through : it would take us aii day to
do that. At another time we will
when the gas is on in full head, and you
will see a place sparkling with gold,
diamonds and silver as will heat the
Arabian Nights. Op stairs we go; and ,
you are in a Dental Depot which fills
orders from all parts of the world. Ev- j
erything is of the first order, and in j
quantity, quality and variety cannot
tie surpased. The show eases are jiecu
li&r, the furnitute elegant and the stock,
which is all manufactured there, com
plete iu every particular.
CORRUGATED IRON CEILING.
The improvement of the age will havea
tendency to doaway withFireinsurance
Companies, after awhile. We will
soon be able to buiM salamander struct
ures proof against the ravage of fire,
and so far as regards the safety of busi
ness houses be able to say, Good by, in
surance policies. The invention of the
eorrogated iron ceiling by Mr. Jos. Gil
bert of this city Is another advance in
that direction. We examined a sjajci
men the other day in the office of Mc
' Arthur, architect, and from the fact
that it is used in the new Saving Fund
| on Walnut, and the new Chicago Tri
bune building, we predict a great de-
I sideratum perfectly mot. Thecommit
| tee on service and art for the Franklin
Institute favorably recommend it, and
| the scientific journals all over Europe
regard it as good and insusceptible of
; further improvement. In a few years
| this city will compete with Paris in
the number of fire proof structures and
thereby save property and human life.
TIIE NEW MASONIC TEMPLE.
This great and magnificent temple is
to be on Broad. We noticed huge
blocks of stone there, and vigorous
! movements toward its erection. Ma
! sonry is at the foundation—Masonry
will carry it up. There is plenty of
work. The stone are being polished
and beautified, and will rise up into
symbolic beauty and harmony. Out
| of the unshapen mass of stones and
earth, sphvnyx-like will emerge an e
ternal form of unity, cemented by love,
fashioned on the level, pillared and
plumb and squared up to the top, step
by step until she shall reach (he sub-
I lime degree of perfection. The work
men in their aprons are laying the foun
dations deep and broad, so that this
temple shall stand, in her great and no
ble principles in centuries to come as
in centuries gone by, firm against the
cant of hypocrites, the fierce assault
of cowansand the slam of the gates of
Hell.
CUIIA.
Somebody says the times change and
we change with them. An Jso it ap
pears. Congress has passed articles fa
vorable to the belligerent right of the
rebels in Cuba. A meeting has been
held here according them sympa
thy. OTemporal O Mores! Now I
don't know anything about these
things, but 1 was just beginning to be
lieve from ail I had read and heard and
seen in the last six years, that it was
disloyal to ''sympathize with rebels."—
And you see when Congress and these
men who were going to hang a lot of
fellows for sympathy for the Southern
rebels, and knock England into a nine
cocked hat for recognizing them as bel
ligerents, now turn round and throw
up their hats in the air, and pass reso
lutions and carry on high generally
and hurrah for the rebels in Cuba, I
get very much obfuscated —I don't un
j derstand the question in sucli a dark
' light. Can you tell me, (nub rog<i) Mr.
Editor, what the difference is when
your ox gets gored by somebody ehe's ox?
Well, we say, uxor no ox, if we don't
uiiderstaud the question, hero is suc
( cess to the "rebels" against despotism
and wrong in any form, and God speed,
| in her noble struggle for independence,
the Gem of the Antilles. If we get in
to any trouble by this language we
wish it to be understood that we mean
the Cuban patriot*.
FAIKMOL NT WATER WORKS.
Is undergoing thorough repairs. The
new Turbine wheels are workingsatis

on pleasant days arc seen in large num

we hope with lunch baskets and a ju
venile bevy to spend a whole day in its
pleasant retreats. But April is too ca

So far we have no trouble to keep cool.

A QUEER SUIT AND QUEERER VER
DICT. —The Charlestowu "Spirit of Jef
ferson" mentions an occurrence of re
cent date, growing out of the memo
rable capture of Major General Kelly,
in his bed in this city, by a detateh
ment of McNeill's men, in February,
1865. General Kelly, it seems, lost his
horse at the time of the capture, which
fell in the hands ofthe con federate Gen
eral Rosser. The animal was wounded,
and after the war, was restored by Gen
eral Itosser to General Kelly, upon the
request of the latter. Among the party
who captured General Kelly in bed
was Mr. John S Arnold, now residing
in Mineral county, West Virginia, and
being a iuati of means, General Kelly
brought suit against him in that county
and recovered SBSO damages for the in
juries received by the horse. The
"Spirit of Jefferson" says the only wit
ness in the case was General 11. F. Kel
ly himself, who swore that lie saw Mr.
Arnold riding the horse the day after
the capture. Mr. Arnold was made to
pay pretty dearly for one day's ride on
General Kelly's steed, but as the
horse was regularly captured in war,
reasonable people will consider both
the suit and verdict outside the pale of
reason Cumberland Paper.
