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.

PHIL'A., May 11th, 18G9.
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 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.
