®ftt ISdfetf ftx&fte. X/ ■ - V I'rlil.i.r Morn Ink', flaj -I. IN ' IN ' 1 ■' I KII D A "I l ! It is clear as the noonday sun, that the conspirators who are plotting the destruction of popular liberty by wresting from the people the right to control the suffrage question, have re- j sorted to the most villanous system of fraud in order to accomplish their in famous purpose. Under tho promise that the p&ople of the "loyal states'' > should not lie deprived of the privj- j lege ©f regulating the elective franchise in their own way, legislatures were elected in those states, containing, in most cases, large radical majorities. These majorities are now wielded by the conspirators as instruments of Iraud in preventing the people from inter fering with the success of the plot to make the X Vth Amendment a part of the Federal Constitution. These ma- j jorities are made to usurp the right of ( American freemen to settle this great question for themselves. Nor is it less apparent that force is to be superad ded to fraud in carryingout the infernal programme. Morton's bill, passed at , the last session of Congress, makes it ; a condition precedent to the admis sion of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas to representation in Congress, that these stales ratify the Amendment. j Although declared by the U. fc>. Su preme Court to be in the L uion, the j people of the.se states, with the bayo nets of the federal janissaries pointed at their breasts, are told that they will be kept out of the Union until they agree that this black radical patch shall be put upon the Constitution. Three states are thus to be forced to give their assent to the Amendment. In the legislature of Indiana, the radical majority is not sufficiently large to hand over that body to the conspira tors a3 an instrument in their hands. The Constitution of Indiana requires the presence of three-fifths of the mem bers in either branch of the legislature to form a quorum. More than two fifths of each house are democrats, aud these democrats, in accordance with their constitutional privilege, resign and leave the legislature without a quorum. From the instant that there is not a quorum of members present, the- legislative body is powerless to transact business. Nevertheless, the radical members and Senators in this Indiana legislature, proceed, without a quorum, to pass a resolution ratify ing the XVth Amendment! And tins lawless proceeding will, doubtless, he certified to the Department of State at Washington, by the radical Gover nor of Indiana, as a ratification of the j said XVth Amendment by the legis lature Of that State! In this way, by the employment of fraud and force the game of the radicals is to be won. — But the cards are handled so clumsily that the trick is transparent to every body. Even the stolid equanimity of the philosopher of the Tribune is dis turbed by the awkwardness of ihe play. In Saturday's issue of that pa per, Greeley loquitur : "We confess that the mysteries of ludiana legislation are to deep for us. The democrats in the House, forty-two in number, resigned; the Governor gave notice to the House of their resig nation ; the point of order was raised that this left the House without a quor um; but the remaining members re fused to sustain it, and proceeded to adopt the XVth Amendment. We prefer to await further details as to the whole novel procedure before rejoicing over the adoption by another State." Forney, too, though reveling in the beauties of such artistic chicanery as Morton's bill, is disgusted with the bungling Indianiana. His gorge rises at the very thought of the indextority of the performance. In Saturday's Press , he speaks as follows: "Connecticut, which has just ratified the fifteenth amendment, was, it will be remembered, one of the doubtful States, and its favorable action almost insures the success of the measure.— Before the people there is no doubt of the issue. How alone the democracy can successfully oppose it is shown in the case of Indiana, from which state we have this week more discreditable and disgraceful news." In his supreme disgust at the want of art on the part of his fellow conspir ators in Indiana, he admits that the democrats of that state "successfully oppose" the Amendment, and thus virtually acknowledges the futility of the attempt at ratification by the quorumless legislature. The "success of the measure," he tells us, is "almost" assured. This is another way of telling his readers that it is doubtful. But he consoles his dupes by pretending to think that "before the people there is no doubt of the issue." We agree with him. The issue is now before the people of Penn sylvania, It is defined with singular sharpness. It is an issue with a double edge, and both edges will cut radical fingers. Fraud is one side of it; force the other; fraud in the action of the radical majority in the legislature re fusing to allow the people of the state to vote on the issue, force In the com pulsion of three states, at the point of the bayonet, to rob the voters of Penn sylvania of the sacred right to control and regulate the elective franchise for themselves. With this double-edged eword, placed in the hands of the deiti ocfiits, by the insane folly of their jw litical opponents, shall not the radical party be cut in pieces ? HARD TIMES! Hard times! Oh! yes, it is a little late in the day to com plain of hard times. We democrats told you it would IH SO. We warned you that if you put an epauleted ass at the head of the government, you would have to sutler for it. But you would not hear. You thought it a capital joke to be governed by men whom you must have known to be untit to make and execute your laws. Don't complain to us. We have no power to help you. We are out in the cold. We have no power in Congress, none in the legisla ture. Go to the radical leaders and pour your lamen ation in their ears. If they refuse to help you, go and do what you ought have done long ago, Help yourselves by turning the radicals out of power. THE last Inquirer copies an article from the Philadelphia Sunday Morn ing Times , in which occurs the follow ing: "LET us have courage. The public debt has been decreased nearly $3lO - (luring the last three years and a half—at the rate of $30,000,000 annu ally." It seems, then, that .Andy Johnson did pretty well, after all. If he had not been forced to contend against a corrupt and thieving Congress, he might have done still better. But Grant is now at tiie head of affairs. He is in perfect accord with the Con gressional plunderers. He dares not vetoa single one of theeorrupt schemes adopted by Congress. The tracks of the treasury robbers will be visible e nbugh in a short time. Truly, "let us have courage!" SOME radical hounds are howling because the Democratic Mayor of Phil adelphia is appointing Irishmen on his police force. This is quite charac teristic of those hypocrites. Irishmen are good enough if they can be blar neyed into voting the radical ticket, but when offices are to be given out, the old spirit of Know Nothingism steps in and says, "Put none but A mericans on guard." Let Mayor Fox appoint whom he chooses and let the Hindoos howl. Ixtheloil love for the "dear old liag" the flags seem to have got a little mixed. Soldiers who fought for the loil cause are everywhere being turned out of office, and loud mouthed mem bers of the "home guard," and, in a number of instances, ex-on federate soldiers are being appointed in their stead. So much for the mendacious twaddle about the "love for the sol dier" and the "old flag." Uo:.i> is up to 143. What does this mean? When Grant was inaugurated it stood at about 132. Bontwell's fi nancial policy does not seem to cause any appreciation of the currency, but on tiie contrary appears to depreciate it. It now takes more greenbacks to buy a five dollar gold piece, than it did three months ago. Is this giving us the sound currency which the radicals promised ? THE radicai papers print a dispatch from Atlanta, (jfa., which states that Radford O. Rhodes, "a prominent re puhlican," was killed by the "Kit Klux." It turns out that Rhodes was shot by an indignant h-usbaud. If "re publicans" will commit adultery, they must expect to be "murdered" occa sionally. "THE distant orient hailing us th rough the golden gate at the west," will do. We rather think the orient hails from thet ast. The Jii'juirer, though, doesn't see it In that light. "The world moves," that is the reason. We don't cure. Let it "hail I" As long as the crops are not injured by it, wo shall not object. I'rocliiiuittioii by the I'reiMciit. WASHINGTON, May 16.— The Presi dent has issued a proclamation desig* Dating the Oth day of July next for the election in Virginia. The 4th clause of section Ist, article 3d of theconstitu tion, is to bo voted on separately. The clause authorizes the legislature, if they elect by a vote of three-fifths of the members, to remove disabilities from those who held office under the United States government and afterwards aid ed and abetted rebels. The "th section of article 3d is also submitted to a sepr urate vote. It requires that all persous to State, county or city offices to take an oath that they have never volun tarily aided or abetted rebellion and that they never will engage in any treasonable or rebellious act. The proclamation concludes us follows : "I direct the votes to be taken upon each of the above cited provisions alone and upon other portions ol the said consti tution in the following niaunor; Each voter favoring the ratification of the constitution, excluding the provi, ions above quoted, as framed by the convention of December 12, 1867, shall express his judgment by voting 'for the constitution.' Each voter favor ing the rejection of the constitution, excluding the provisions above quo ted, shall express his judgment by vo ting, 'against the constitution.' Each voter shall be allowed to cast a separ ate ballot for or against either or both of the provisions above quoted." .M —w—llw —II II n> JHI M M n-wnr- RRI- N .

I)ont you feel like Maying to (lay, Mr. Editor? llow I pity you if you are rabbincd, cribbed, confined; for May never had days more mellow and warm, and we throw away ourselves into their mild etnbarce, and dream of olden Utiles, of green fields, and the lane thro* the meadow, and a thon.- tree by the river's bank. Those times will come back and look as sweet as ever, altho' we look at them first now thro' cigar smoke. It gives them the fragrance of new mown hay. We don't dream long of May days and warm evenings with shadows long and slant under the green sycamore and vocal with the noise of frogs. We are awakened from our reverie by the merry laugh and shout of little girls below our window who play thro' the yard with the abandon of childhood plucking the daisy and butter cups to weave in their hair. But, we sat down to tell you that we have been crowded and jammed with work, and can scarce find an hour to write you. In addition to regular duties and cor respondence for three papers, we have multiplied engagements such as pre clude the pleasure of dropping you a line occasionally. Pretty soon we are off on a brush for a couple weeks and what we shall see and hear will net interest your readers. We therefore take French leave for the present, hoping we may soon l>e able to resume our correspondence. In the meantime, we bear testimony to the gratification it gives us to receive the visits of our old friend, the Gazette. We will give a hearty welcome fifty two times in a year, throwing in an invitation to the Editors to coine and see me three hundred and sixty-five times in a year, and the assurance of a cordial reception. Allow me to conclude in the pathetic words of another : "I've oftinies coldly bowed, and said—"Fare well !" When every life-throb was an age of pain ! 1 ve seen eternities of feeling 3 swell From Beauty's dark bright eye as tho' 'twould drain Lore's peedess fount of tear-gems! But to tell Such parting scenes affects iny heart anl brain, And therefore, reader, I will part with you, Just as I would with an old worn-out shoe." The ( litem Revolution. The New York Sun has the follow ing: Private information has been fur nished to the Spanish consulate in this city that new expeditious, with arms and men, for the Cubau patriots are to leave the coast of Florida next week. The facts were communicated, it is said, to the Spanish Minister, who sent special dispatches on the subject to the consul in this city, whom he instruct ed to take action at once, as the vessels selected for these expeditions are fit ting out in this city. The utmost caution is exercised in relation to the enlistment of-recruits for Cespedes' army. The officers have decided to take only such men as have served with distinction in the late war. There are thousands of veterans in New York and Brooklyn who are anx ious to fight for Cuban Independence, and tiie names of many of theui have been enrolled, preparatory to making a formal cull upon them to embark on future expeditions. The leaders of the Junta have pur chased a large quantity of arms, which are to be sent to Cespedes next week. Two steamers, both fast sailers, have been purchased by the Junta, and they may soon be heard of as privateers, which will do just such service for Cu ba as the Alabama did for the South. IM>I VM 1. INDIANODOLIS, May 14.— The House of Representatives this afternoon, he fore calling the roll to ascertain wheth er a quorum was present or not, con curred in the Senate amendments to the specific Appropriation bill by a vi va voce vote. A message was received from the Governor, notifying the House of the resignation of forty-two of the members. Mr. CLborn, Republican, then cooked to adopt the joint resolution ratifying the Constitutional Amendment. Mr. Coffroth, Democrat, objected, making a point of order that there was not a quorum present. The (..'hair ruled that the question could not be considered. An appeal was taken by Mr. Cof froth, but the decision of ihe Speaker was sustained, and the House passed the joint resolution by a vote of—ayes, GJ ; nays, none; two' Democrats and one Republican refusing to vote.
