or by any Stat, of the light to vow on
ooount of raw, color, or previous condition of
servitude," and tbat "Congrnsa shall have
owr to enforce this provUou by appropriate
legislation." This means Impartial suffrage
to all male citrons abova th age of twenty
one years wbites. blacks, Indians, and Chi
nese, nalf a dozen States have abeady rati
fied this amendment, and It was aboat to be
taken np in the Indiana legislature the other
day, when the Dmnooratio minority bolted,
eot-ded, and went home, leaving both houses
without quornno, aad consequently Incapa
ble of any legislation at all. To meet the
emergency the Kepnblioan Governor (Bker)
baa issued a call for new eleotions to fill the
vlacea of the eewding members in time for a
new meeting of the Legislature on the 1st of
April, the main Idea being the ratification of
said fifteenth amendment.
The Demoorats, in tti b act of secession, have
been playing a ridiculous game. If they fill
till these vaoaDoies tbey will be only whsre
they left off; but the probab'lity is that from
fear that if tbey have the chance they may
play the same game over again, there will be
a quorum elected to both houses without
them. In atiy event, the Demoorats have
been blundering again on the nigger. They
ttill drtam of "the Constitution as it was"
under Buohanan, when, by the Dred Soott de
cision, a negro had "no rights whloh a white
man was bound to respect." But sinoe that
day two amendments have been added to the
Constitution the thirteenth, abolishing
slavery root and branoh, and the fourteenth,
declaring, among other things, equality to
niggers in the ma'ter of civil rights, and that
suffrage and representation shall go together.
Now comes the fifteenth amendment, giving
to the blaok man, to the red man, and the
yellow man, the everlasting nigger, the Indian,
and tbe Chinaman uiuzenized, the same right
of suffrage as tbe white man. General Grant,
too, thinks this amendment will settle all this
business, and so he hopes it will be duly rati
fied by the States. This endorsement, there
Is every reason to believe, will carry this
amendment through; for, says Riohard, "the
kiDR's name is a tower of strength."
Why, then, will the Democrats persist in
this folly of fighting the nleger, when they
bare been almost destroyed In their suooesslve
disasters on the nigger question since 185 f
But for the stupidity of their Copperhead and
Rebel leaders of the T .rummy Convention,
they might have run even General Grant a
tight raoe, and they might have secured a
handsome majority in tbe present House of
Representatives. Bat instead of recognizing
the "fixed facts" 'before them, the stupid man
agers of the party proclaimed the reconstruc
tion aots of Congress "unconstitutional, revo
lutionary, null, and void," and so they were
swamped again in '68, as they had been under
Johnson on the same issue in '66. Bo they
are out in the ootd, watching and waiting for
some providential Bmash-up of the Republican
party, and apparently incapable of seeing any
thing to fight against bat the almighty nigger.
Be is to them what a bit of red flannel 1b to an
enraged bull or a turkey cook an intolerable
Insult, to be resented, reotuess or oonse
qnences. .
Mr. Stewart's tfrand Charity.
JrVom th N. Y. World.
We are sorry to see Mr. Stewart's proposi
tion, to make a pecuniary sacrifice for the
sake of seoaring to hiinsell the opportunity of
bestowing Lis invaluable services as Secretary
of the Treasury, treated in certain quarters
as a kind of seoular simony. There is no
traoe of simony in the transaction, for it has
been expressly settled in the .English courts
that "bonds given to pay money to charitable
nses or receiving the presentation to a living
are not simoniaoal."
It is equally unjust to Mr. Stewart to say
that his disposition to fling the superflax of
bis vast fortune to the poor has only been de
veloped by the pressure of the awkward di
lemma into which be was brought by his own
and bis Presidential patron's ignorance of the
law. So far is this from being true, that it is
now many years Binoe Mr. Stewart publicly
entreatedMr. George Teabody not to deprive
Mr. ABtor and himself of the pleasure and pri
vilege of doing for the poor of New York what
Mr.Peabody has done on so magnifioent a
soale for the poor of London and for the cause
of eduoatlon at the South. It is but com
monly fair to suppose that the noble designs
so long ago avowed by Mr. Stewart and Mr.
Astor have ever sinoe been ripening to fulfil
ment, and that their culmination has only been
revealed, not preoipttated, by Mr. Stewart's
anxiety to serve the State.
This, which we repeat is, in our Judgment,
a fair supposition, will be made a beautiful
certainty when Mr. Stewart, relieved from the
cares of Federal office, devotes himself &i a
private citizen to the aooompllshment of the
grand soheme of charity by which he has
now once more commended himself to the
favor of Providence and the admiration of his
fellow-men.
It would be monstrous to imagine that a
man of Mr. Stewart's years and piety will not
prefer, even to the homrof assisting President
Grant and helping a national treasury out of
a hobble, the enduring satisfaction of doing
God's will in behalf of the least of these his
brethren.
No Nonsense.
Prom lh4 N. r. Tribune.
The gentleman who was Secretary of State
fow Aura mo. but who holds that office no
lcDger, has, upon the occasion of surrendering
his nortfolio. civen to the land, or at least to
all distinguished personages therein who are
in danger of beiug dined, a valuable lesson.
The neighbors of Mr. Seward, in Auburn, not
to be out of fashion, were naturally desirous
of signalizing the return of that gentleman to
bis own hearthstone, aud of making a credit
able exhibition of their own inestimable love
and affection. Bat Mr. Seward was not to be
caught; for, at his time of life, playing lion,
and roaring to order, is, at any rate, a fatigu
ing bnainess. So the retiring statesman wrote
to Mr. George U. Peck, Secretary of the Re
ception Committve; and in this epistle he
guarded against an ovation with admirable
and oomprehen&ive foresight. lie "absolutely
deolines" '
1. "Any Public Mmting." lie will undoubt
edly be glad to get back, but he will go
through the raptures in private, and refaae
to be embraced even by the most joyful of his
friends In the presence of ten thousand gaping
Spectators. He will also refuse to make
2.' A Speech." lie has made speeobes
enough. For years upon years he has been
making speeches. For that matter, is there
not a printed volume of speeches by him
all eady made, wLlch those who hanker for
elocution and rbetorlo can pnrnne in the re I
tlracy of tbeir own uloseuf Mr. Johnson's I
frightful example bas probably dosed Mr.
reward's month, at least for the present.
Moreover, he deoline to aooept
3. "A Dinner." Tim passion for eating is
one wbivh we know, npon Scriptural autho
rity, declines wi'h d-olinlrg years. "I am
this day," said Brzil)al, 'eighty years old.
Can thy servant taste wbet 1 eat, or whatjl
drink f" Besides, It may reasonably be sup
posed tbat another waining has been afforded
to Mr. Seward by tbe eating and drinking
career of another Mr. Johnson across the
water. Moreover, at a dinner, it would be
almost impossible, without a rude violation
of every precedent, to avoid making a speech.
"Gabbara," cays Rabelais, "was the first In
ventor of drinking healths." Mr. 8eward will
refute, also.
4. "A I'rocettien. When one remembers
of how many prooesflons this gentleman hai
been the central figure aid ornament, the
reason of bis disinclination may be readily
surmised. one of these triumphal inarches
have conoluded at the coveted goal. Reduced
to its simple eUments, there is but small en
joyment in tbe honor of being cartel about in
a barouche, with a brass band blowing its life
out in front and another brafs band palling
itfelf dmf behind. It is only in such a situa
tion, with melancholy thoughts of the ooming
cold in tbe bead, that the recipient of
ringing cheers can appreciate the safety
and the satisfaction of wearing a hat. Again,
Mr. Seward desires no
6. " Ceremony." He shrinks from being
treated like a Grand Lama, or a Grand Mafii,
or a Grand Turk, or a Tycoon, or a Pope, or
a Dcge, or an Imperator, or a l'ovtifex Maxl
mns. He knows tbat he is mortal. lie feeU
himself to be human. lie desires not "booing"
and genuflexions, the salam and the ko-tow.
Tbe primitive Biroplldty of shaking hands is
enough for him. Finally, he objeots to any
6. "JJtmon.stration." lie will not be exhi
bited, as if be had been caught by some hardy
hunter five thousand miles from Auburn, and
brought to that place as a curiosity. "Demon
strations" are well enough in mathematics,
but not being a problem, exoept in a figurative
BenFe of the word, he bas no desire to have a
"Q. E. D." tacked to his record. "Such
things," as he truly observes, " are unneces
sary." We cannot help thinking that In setting his
face against demonstrative leonization Mr.
Seward has entitled himself to tbe thanks of
all publio men exposed to like dangers and
subjected to similar temptations. The strong
point is the dinner declined. The barouche
refused was a great gain. The repudiated
banquet is a positive blessing, and will be so
considered here until Mr. Reverdy Johnson's
performances in England are forgotten.
The Secretaryship of tbe Treasury.
trim the A Y. World.
The Republican journals throughout the
country have helped Gen. Grautdig the ditch
into which bis first step tumbled him; and.
what is worse, the Herald, 'J ribune, Times, and
I'ost have persisted in inviting him BtiU deeper
into tbe mire.
Had Geueral Grant, inexperienced .himself
In civil affairs, taken of experienced and able
men in his party that advice which none of
the most experienced statesmen, his predeoeg
sors, ever disdained to invite Irom their con
temporaries, be would not now be naked to
the deiislon ot bis opponents and the con
tempt of his party. Tbe hostile orlticism
of the Democratic press, had it had some
slight intimation of his designs to proceed
upon, alone might have resected him from
aocomplUhing his blunders.
But these very organs of Republican opi
nion fed fat the presumption aud the conceit
which led General Grant to think himself
superior to publio opinion.
Tbey told him and they told the publio
marvellous things that plain common sense
would do. They cast scorn upon "politi
cians," npon experience in civil affairs, upoa
learning in the law, npen an acquaintance
with the traditions and the practices of states
manship. They added the Chief Magistracy
of thirty eight millions or people to tbe nam
ber of things which as Sidney Smith said ot
driving a gig and editing a newspaper every
man was entitled to think himself competent
to, without experience or eduoatlon. They
applauded bis reticence as if it were a sub
stantial kind of power or a quality of genius
which was going to help him administer the
Government. They cooperated with General
Grant's own Ignorance to Keep him from the
knowledge which he lacked and the counsel
which was indispensable to him. It turns out
that publio opinion, which is worth a states
man's beed, might have been useful also to
General Grant, it turns out tbat a knowledge
oi the jaws might nave helped him in dis
charging bis promise to exeoute the laws.
iiut why did these blind leaders persist in
draeeing on their blind man deeper into the
mire. Tbe 7 ribune bailed Mr. Stewart as the
"financial Prospero," whom it is useless to try
to match, and who, being Secretary of the
Treasury, would "be as impartial and sternly
just as an archangel" in passing on his own
transactions as an importer. The fatnons and
illiterate Beruld wanted the law of 1789 to be
"submitted to the Supreme Court" (1), where
it would at once be condemned as "feudal,'
whatever tbat may mean, and "unoonstitu
tional." The Units dbgraoed its intelligence
Dy urging, ratner man "tbe repeal of the law.'
the exemption of Mr. Stewart from its opera
tion by joint resolution. The PoU, with due
servility, declared itself all ready to applnud
tue rresiaent's '"own deliberate judgment,'
whatever it might be, and then advised him
that a common law rmxtui controls a statute
speaking in positive and decided language.
Was ever such a chorus !
Now, the statute of 1789 is entitled to great
weight SB mere authority. It was enacted,
after deliberation, by the splendid statesmen
of the revolutionary aud constitutional era of
our Government Human affairs nor human
nature have not since altered iu kind. If it
was wiee then, it is wise now. Oar growth
and greatness as a nation only add to the
number and weight of the reasons for its esta
liebment. As for Mr. Stewart, be Is the first
man to whom its provisions apply, but be is
also first and chiefest of tbat class and descrip
tion of men now alive to whom it was meant
to apply.
Tbat provision of tbe act of 1789 prohibit
ing the manager of tbe national fiuanoes from
being at the tame time engaged in any private
business whii h would give him a personal in
terest that might bias his mind in his publio
action, is founded on the most obvious and
elementary principles of prudence and moral
ity. It is tbe same principle whloh the law
applies to all trustees and fiduciaries of what
fcver sort: that they must have no interest
wbh h Is or may be in conflict with tbeir duty.
If the founders of the repnblio had enaoted
no such law as the eighth section of that
aot, it ought now to be enacted at once. If
it were not the law, the principle upon
which it is founded ought to be respeoted
as a rule of prudence and a dictate of morality.
Tbe unadvised common sense of which we
have heard so mnoh has not been competent
to this sense of decorum, of propriety, of
morality; for General Grant appointed Mr.
Stewart. And if Mr. Stewart at first accepted
the appointment, no man can say tbat a Hfa-
long training in trade, in tbe faonlty to hay
cheap and dear, ehonld have fitted Ul n
to appreciate the ludeoormn of that aot. But

overcome was aoouttbtt leant of all the uiU-

tbe superior tiffin-r, npon his subordinated
would have been utterly destructive to all the
motives which are relied on to iuHnre the pro
tection of tbe Government iu the daling4 ot
men with the bead of the Treasury. Mr.
Stewart might both be an archangel aud
have angels at the head of every bureaa: but
for bis clerks and agents, and for the G ivuru
ment's appraisers and collectors aud cii'touis
fhciale, he could not have drawn upon the
angtlio host.
The intrinsic, radioal, snd overrhndowlog
evil ot the situation wa tbi: Tun SforeUry
of the Treasury is not only required by law u
advise Congress as to the measures it should
pass to improve the revenue, as to the taxes
it stall put on and the taxs it sha'l take off,
and generally as to the li-oal aud fiuancial
eelB'atiou it shall enact, bat ia the prautlcal
adminirtratiou of his department so wile a
limit of discretion is conferred , upon that
officer, and so vast are the transaotlous of
the Government com pared with those ofprivate
business, tbat tbe secretary has beoouie the
practical regulator aud controller of the gold
market, thereby of the rates of foreign ex
change, thereby of the cost of all imported
goods, thereby of tbe prices of all our ex
ported commodities wbeat, corn, Hour, to
bacco, cottou, prtrolruin, beef, aud poik. lie
has also become the controller of the money
market. He determines the abundance or
scarcity of loanable capital, tbe rate of inte
rest, and thereby the prloeB of securities aud
stocks as well a merchandise. Whether so
wide a discretion was wise or necessary is not
the question. Uuder the legislation of the
last nine years and the growth of our debt, it
esthts.
Now, tbat Mr. Stewart, the importer who
has occasion to buy moie exchange than any
man in these States, should ooniinue to direct
tbe operations of his Loose in purchasing gold
or exchange and returning to pay for his ex
ported goods; aud tbat Mr. Stewart, the Seo
retary, should at the same time decide
whether or uot the Government should sell
gold, having on band, with authority to sell,
a quantity si rust mat the sale ot a tmh of It
would depress its prKe and make a ooavul-
sion from Wall strett to San Francisco this,
we cay, is an aosur an impossible situation,
aot or no aot of 1789. But this aot, with Its
charity for human weakness, marks aud de
noes the absurdity and impcBaibility of the
situation.
iNenber Uenerai Urant nor Air. Stewart nor
the Republican press of this oity (all alike
ignorant of the law) exhibited the faoulty to
perceive this obvious principle of prudence
aud morality npou which the law was bawd
But bow did none of them see, what is better
suited to tbeir raouities to eee, that Mr.
Stewart in so false and absurd a situation
could not possibly have or keep the publio
confidence r Were be, ad Secretary, to sell
gold or adopt any measure which should
deprtss the foreign exchange, and thereby
cause, as so often has happened, a fall in
imported or exported commodities aud an
interruption in th courses of industry and
trade cannot he see, cannot everybody see,
tbat all men who were damaged in their
interests thereby would have said that Mr
Stewart was buying gold or exohange and
trvirg to buy it cheap?
If, ou the other band be were to allow the
rate of exchange te rise, wourd not every man
whose interest was ia its fall have felt and
said that Mr. Stewart, having got hW ex
change, was now putting np his goods which
were yet to be sold r
And though Mr. Stewart were to reap
profits only from his business for the next
four years, as it would be hard to prevent his
firm from doing were he Seoretary of the Trea
sury, and were he to devote those profits to
New York charities, would his rivals fall to
feel or fail to say that in those profits he,
the munificent bes tower of tbem, bad an in
terest, direct aodiudireot, utterly beyond wht
be could have were the.y simply flowing into his
private coffers. For, were those profits small,
rival merchants would suffer by his under
selling them, and be would draw a still larger
stream of custom to bis bazaars to inorease
mightily bis subsequent profits. The Tribune
praised its own business sagacity a year or two
ago in running its establishment a twelve
month at no profit, and doubtless the policy
was eacaclous.
On the other hand, were the profits of Mr
Stewart's business large and the sums b
stowed upon our charities considerable, would
Le have no interest, direct or indirect, in such
a world-wide advertisement of bis liberality
and wealth ? Six millions in four years, if it
went to bis bank acoonnts, could neither in
create tbe sum if his present luxuries or com
foits, nor the pwpular awe before suoh opa
lence. Bat thus bestowed, it would agcran
dize bis real possesbious. and confer upon him
something wherein no other hnmau being's
"interest" could eaual his namely, a fame
beblde whlcb John Jacob Astor's, Smitbson's,
and Peabody's would pale, aud which he, like
l'eabody. would be livlug to enjoy, wr,
Stewart's "Interest" in his private profits for
four years would be tnsign'tiuant beside his in
terest in such nublio munifioenoe.
Yet we wonld not dogmatize on the law of
1789. Mr. Stewart at least knew enough when
bis trouble was manifest to seek and be guided
by competent legal advisers, even if his letter
to tbe President stigmatizes the disabilities as
technical" which thev deemed iusuperapie,
But Lis nomination was not fit to have been
made, and General Grant bas been driven to

Our foreign ministers are pretty much all,
like Barkis, "willin'." Mr. llle. at OUrtria,
has made no bones of it (or, as Mr. Wade
would say, "no butter"), and baa asked
piumply to be kept In olnoe uuder urant. iur.
Kilpatriok, late of Santiago, baa done the
same. Mr. Uanoroft, at llerlin, bas paid the
silent but Bleuinoant oomnliment to General
Qiant of giving a grand dinner In honor of

step further, aud writes that be had been

I know no greater nuiaauce iu the United
Siates than speech-making, and my greatest
ei joyment baa been my exemption troto.li,
which certainly ouaht to suit General Grant's
ideas to a T, and make him as well as the
country regret tbat General Dix has already
nuouiiced bis purpose to come home, where
be can no lorcer nope to indulge his favorite I
"luxury." 1
