Tli Fifteenth Amendment.
Oft the 11th of March the State Senate passed
Joint resolution ratifying the proposed fif
teenth amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, the rote being a atriot part
one 13 yeas to 15 nays. The House of
Representatives yesterday oononrred in tkls
aotion, by a rote of CI yeas to 28 nays, and the
fifteenth - amendment is therefore the law of
!. f a j i . . ..
ui iuiu, n isr us u can db msae BO dj me
aotion of Pennsylvania. This aotion by our
State Legislature will assuredly receive the
hearty endorsement of a large majority of the
: people of the State. Simple jastioe demanded
the amendment, and common deoenoy forbids
that the people should repudiate the aotion of
their representatives in oonsentlng to its ratifi
cation. The number of persons to be affected by
the measure in this State is comparatively
inBignifioant. According to theoensusof 181W
. the entire population of the State was 2,90(1,
215, of whom 2,849,259 were whites, 50, 8411
blacks, and 7 Indians. At the same date the
. city of Philadelphia had a population of
668,529, of whom 543,344 were whites, and
22,185 blaoks. This gave one negro to every
twenty-five whites In the city, and one to
very fifty in the State at large. Assuming
that the oolored element of our population
- has Inoreased as rapidly as the white
element sinoe 1SG0 which is far
from being the case the vote oast for Audi-
; tor-General in Ootober last would indicate an
. increase In the voting population of the city
by about 48G0, and In that of the State by
about 13,060, which does not amount to much
: in a total of over 650,000, but is quite suffi
cient, of course, to throw .our Democratic
friends into a paroxysm of mingled disgust
"tod dismay.
' It is not neoessary to recount here the trllm-
lations through which the proposed amend
ment passed before it assumed the milk-and-1
water shape In whloh it seonred the assent of
, both houses of Congress. Fearful that another
v referenoe of the conflicting propositions of the
two houses to a conference committee would
- prevent its submission to the State Legisla
' latures in any shape, before the fourth of
; March witnessed the disappearance of the
two-thirds Republican vote in the House of
, Representatives, the most zealous fiiends of
1 equal and impartial justice in Congress
' thought it wise to assent to the conference re
. port which was submitted on February 23,
just one week before the close of the session.
As dootored up by the conference committee.
' the proposed amendment then read as fol-
iowb:
"Section 1. The right of cltleans of the Untied
States to vole shall no'- be denied or abridged
by the united stales, or oy MByatnie, on ao
count ol race, color, or previous oonditloii of
servitude.
"Btotion 2. The Congress shall have power to
enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
On the 25th of February, the House of Re
presentatives adopted the report of the oon
ferenoe committee by a vote of 143 yeas to 43
nays; and the Senate, on the following dy,
took similar action by a vote of 39 yeas to 13
nays, Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, of un.
savory impeachment memory, casting a nega
tive vote with the twelve Ddmooratlo Sena
tors, because he regarded the amendment, in
its present shape, as imperfect and unequal to
. the exigencies of the times. . 1
Kansas was the first State to give its assnt
to the proposed amendment, which it di I on
the 27th of February, the vote in the State
Senate being unanimous, acd in the House
standing 64 yeas to only 7 nays. West Vir
ginia, the first fruit of the great pro-slavery
Rebellion, as Kansas had been the soene of
. the opening conflicts, was the seoond State to
ratify the amendment, whloh its Legislature
. did on March 3. On the tame day, the Assem
bly of Wisconsin ratified it, the Senate of
that State concurring on March 5. On this
day, also, the Legislatures of Illinois and
Michigan wheeled into Hue. The Senate of
Maine likewise ratified the amendment on
March 5, but the House did not concur until
March 11, the same day witnessing the affirma
tive aotion of both branches of the Legislature
of South Carolina and that of the Pennsyt.
vania Senate. On Maroh 16 the reoou
- gtruoted Legislature of Arkansas gave its
assent, as also did the lower house of the
Georgia Legislature. But on March 18 the
" Georgia Senate, through the treachery of
a two or three of the Republican members, re-
' j so ted the amendment, and on the same day
' the Senate of the mighty sovereign State of
Polaware dropped the divorce business long
enough to enter Its indignant and almost
v unanimous protest. On Maroh 17 the lower
house, of the Legislature of New York gave an
Affirmative response, and then, on Maroh 25,
. eme the Pennsylvania Senate, oompleting the
aotion of this State by its assent. These
twelve States are the only ones whloh have
thai far taken a vote on the amendment, their
action being sammed up In the following:

... .Ia addition, to the
above SUUj, E1J
Mand, jrhloh will certainly ratify the amend
ment, on Maroh 24 postponed its considera
tion until May; and on the same day the new
Democratic Governor of New Jersey submitted
it to the Legislature of that State, with a long
string of reasons against its ratification. To
prevent the Indiana Legislature from
giving its assent, the greater num
ber of the Democratic members
of that bdy recently resigned. Elections
have since been held to fill the vaoanoies, and
Indiana will soon record her vote In the affir
mative, in spite of suoh disreputable tricks..
Taken altogether, the prospects of the amend
ment are decidedly encouraging, and there
can be no doubt that It will become a part of
the fundamental law of the land before an
oiler j ear has elapsed.
Tlie Cubnu Revolt.
Fa ii day's intelligence adds new interest to
the great drama now being enacted in Cuba.
The trsgio cot 11 lot through whieh our Repub.
lie has triumphantly emerged is there re
peated on a mimlo scale, but nnder widely
different oircumstanoes. Here the Rebels
fought for slavery ; there they fight for freedom
for all. Here the Rebels antagonized the
established Government for ridiculous or
totally inadequate reasons, but in Cuba the
patriots are striving to release themselves from
a thraldom as odious and oppressive as it is
ancient. Here the nationality of a great re
publican system whioh sheds a beneficent
light upon the civilized world was pat in
jeopardy, but there Spain olings with a miser's
clutch to the last gem of the greatest treasury
of colonial possessions that avarice and ambi
tion ever amassed. Here the sympathy of
every true friend of liberty and progress was
Instinctively attraoted by the noble cause
of the Union, but there loyalty
meaus continued submission to tyran
nical rule, and the continued enslavement of
the entire native population for the benefit of
distant oppressors.
It la not singular, therefore, that the Cuban
cause should attract American sympathy; that
the representative of an awakened people
should be courteously received at Washing
ton; that Congrees should consider the pro
priety of recognizing the new belligerent power
at the earliest moment; that the prevailing
sentiment should Cud expression in enthu
siastic public meetings; and that material aid
should be surreptitiously forwarded from oar
shores to the men who are offering up their
fortunes and their lives cpon the altar of their
conntry. i
Whether this movement falls or succeed:,
it deserves enoonragement. It has at least
sufficient prospects of success to redeem its
leaders from the charge of harebrained rash
ness. It oomtneuced at a moment when Spain
was in the throes of an internal convulsion,
which at once furnished a significant example
and a convenient oppcrtantty. However
much we may sympathize with the efforts of
the paniah people to rid themselves of an
t ti'ete Bourbon yoke, wo cannot forget that
the Cubans must suffer tenfold more from any
form of Spanish domination than the Spa
niards endured at the hands of their exiled
Queen; and the plea that regard for the
Liberal cause at Madrid should make us up
hold the authority of a Captain-General at
Havana is unworthy of countenance or con
sideration. - '
The proportions which the revolt has as
sumed furnish at once its justification and a
hopeful augury of its triumph. The morning
papers announce that the Cuban Minister a1
Washington has confirmed the statement made
a few days ago in these columns, that the in
surgents had twenty-five thousand well-armed
soldiers in the field, and that many more will
be organized into tffioient regiments as soon as
they can receive arms and ammunition. As
the ranks of the regular Spanish foroes and
the sanguinary volunteers formed of the
Cuban residents who were born in Spain, and
who are playing the part of the Tories of our
Revolution, are dtcimated by battle or disease,
Spain will be sorely puzzled to furnish a large
n serve from a nation whioh is already agi
tated by conscription riots, and whioh requires
a large standing arnsy to maintain order at
home. ' ?
While this underlying basis is encouraging
to the patriots if they can prolong the conflict,
the news forwarded yesterday is very favor
able to their cause. It indicates that dissen
sions and diversions are springing up in the
Spanish camp. Several of the sub-governors
ol important portions of the island and lead
ing Spanish military officers are aooused of
dit loyalty. Some of the volunteer battalions
have joined the ranks of the patriots, and
while this disposition to desrt a Binklng ship
is displayed, new victories have been gained
by the insurgents, and new arrivals of expedi
tions and arms from the United StateB. with
more on the way, are announoed.
If there is fair foundation for these state
ments, the cold-blooded oruelty whioh con
signs political prisoners to indejoribable hor
rors, and orders or permits bloody executions,
will add new fuel to the flame instead of
arresting It. Terrorism has ceased to exer.
else an omnipotent Influenoe, and the destiny
of Cuba muBt be deolded not by the garrote
or the prison-ship, but by the arts of modern
warfare. (
The act bbckstlt introduced In the State
Legislature to secure "the construction or a
low-grade railway to conneot the waters of tha
Ohio and Allegheny valleys with the Susque
hanna" deserves attention and support. It
proposes to assist, In a manner whioh will cost
the taxpayers of the State nothing, and mar
help to reduoe their burdens, a project that
harmonizes with our present railway system,
and furnishes a new link neoessary to its com
pletion. It would not only promote looal in
terests, but, by furnishing an easy and oheap
transit : over the Allegheny Mountains, it
would, In connection with other contemplated
iwprvvemeats, tend greatly to divert U Vwa-

The Drawing Tin the Academy of
fine Arte.
Thk nsual alx months' session oUhe drawing,
painting, and modelling classes at the Academy
of Fine Arts will close to-morrow, and the pre
sent Is therefore a proper tine to speak of what
has been done by this Institution, for the ad
vanc ment of art, and what could and ought to
be dene. The classes have been unusually fall
daring the past winter, and a very deolded In
terest has been ruauUcnted by the large number
of male and female students lu attendance.
Theergagenient of.Frofeuaor Schusseleaa an In
structor was aatep In the right direction, but
it was only a atop, whloh ought to be followed
by rtiM jr more, and whloh mart be followed 1
the directors of the Academy ezpeot to main
tain the credit of the Institution as a school of
art. Hitherto there has been no Instructor, and
students have been obliged to depend entirely
upon their own resources. Under these clroum
stances, lslt any wonder that American artist
are Burpa8td by their European brethren In
all the niceties of drawing, oolor, and manipu
lation? Professor Bohuirele received bis own
art education at one of the best European
schools; and Independently of the great talenta
which have placed him among the first artlsf
of the country, he is thoroughly grounded lu
ail the prlLdples and practices of art. Bis
engagement bus produced the most gratifying
r suits, not only in reviving an interest In the
ciBtsfP, which were rapidly dying out, bat la
the Advancement of the students. It la im
possible, however, lor Professor Sehasseleto
carry the entire weight of the Institution upon
his own shoulders, and It is to be hoped
tbftt in the future the managers of the institu
tion will exert themselves a little individually
to carry out lu a proper sp'.rlt the Intentions of
Its foundation. The Life class, In particular. Is
very badly regulated, and In the absence of the
Proles; or there Is seldom or never anyone In
attendance with the proper authoilty to "keep
oidrror dlreot the class In their wort. Xha
Committee on Instruction never pretend to
supervise the classes, and the stu lents them
teives are frequently obliged to searoh for
models and arrange the poses, a task that ought
never to be entrusted to any but artlBts of expe"
rienoe. .
During the latter part of the season a "rustic' '
model has been provided for the benetUof the
lady atudenta and those who attend In the day
time. It 1b only by study from Ufa that great
proficiency la drawing, painting, and model
ling the human figure can be obtained; and
this is a matlor of the first Importance. Tae
draped model, however, hi placed lna Utile dark
and Inoonveulent underground loom, usually
devoted to the modellers in clay, who are thai
greatly hampered and annoyed lu their work.
It Is Impossible at any time to get a sum
oient light in tfliU place to work with
effect, but If the rojtu was the best or only
one available there would be no legitimate
cause for complaint. Two of the galleries of the
Academy have been vacant all winter, exoept
when occupied by picture dealers. It would
seem that they might with more propriety
be devoted to the us? of the students, who
would thus have amnio room and plenty of
light for their work. The Antique gallery Is also
too dark and too orowd'ed, but a better plaoe
could not probably be provided In the present
buildUg. IBS
A large number of students have been en
gRged inoopylng pictures, but beyond giving
the necessary permits, the authorities of the
Academy have done eoaicely anything for their
benefit. Many of the pictures best adapted for
atudlesareso badly hung that It Is almost im
possible jor the students to work with any
effect. A large majority of the plotares, too,
are only interesting or valuable as curiosities,
and are absolutely worthless as studies. The
dlreolors of the Academy scarcely ever make
any purchase of new piotures, and so strong
are their prejudices against making any addi
tions to their oolleotlon, that when public
opinion finally forced them to buy Qastaldl's
"Parlsina" one of the finest works ever brought
to this city for about one-tenth of its value,
one of their number, alter protesting, resigned.
The Pennsylvania Aoademy of Fine Arts Is
the oldest institution of the kind In the coun
try, and on the strength of its ancient prestige
it Is endeavoring to obtain possession of one of
the Penn Squares. We think, however, that it
ought to show Itself deserving of publlo oon a.
denceand regard before it receives any favors
from the public It has succeeded in driving
from it all the principal Philadelphia artists,
and it certainly has not in other respects kept
up with the spirit of the age. We have a
sincere interest in the Academy or
Fine Arte, and make these remarks lu no
eensoiious spirit. The engagementof Professor
Bchussele was an eminently proper thing, but
this move will have to b followed np by others
in the same line. We hope sincerely that next
season better aocommodatlons will be provided
for the students, and the Eastern,' galleries, if
not in use, ought to be given up to them rather
than to the traders In piotures.
The Pbxciotjs Metals. A report has Just
been published by Mr. William p. Blake, the
Commissioner from California to the Paris
Exposition, showing the production and oou
suinptlon of precious metals from 1353 to 18 i$.
Mr. Bluke la a mineralogist and geologist, and
appears to have performed bis work tho
roughly. His estimate of the produoilon of
gold and silver for 1)153, as derived from infor
mation obtained at the Paris Exposition, is as
follows:
The United States $61,000,000
Australia ttu.t 00.000
Kussla and blburla 15,70u,ot0
Mexioo and South America ..- 37,000,000
Europe... - 8,)0.000
Africa. l.ooo ooo
Atta....... - 10.000,000
Total for 1853 siua.aoo.ooo
la 153 the aunnal supply of gold was
1136.000,000. The production of 1807 in gold
amounted to S130.080.000; silver, $03.820.000-total,
ti81,60O.O00. We learn from the report that the
total amount of gold la the United States In
1853 amounted to t230.000.000. It is now reckoned
at tl50.000.000. Mr, Blake argues from this that
tba supply of gold, Instead of Increasing, as com.
monly supposed. Is diminishing. He says:
Take, for example, the acknowledged faota
of the last twenty years. Four hundred and
fifty millions, in 1808, Is a larger proportion to
the whole bulk of production in 1308 than was
t210.000.000 In 1603, and this is the true test of
values, and it is a very muoh larger proportion
than was 1100,000.000 in 1844. The wbole history
of prloes, Independent of the adventitious clr
oumatanees of taxes and paper money, ebows
this. These statements will doubtless surprise
that portion of the oommuulty who have been
tearful that gold would one day bsoome so
cheep as to oreate a financial convulsion." '.
