SENATOR TIENDRICK8 AND TIIE FIF TEENTH AMENDMENT. From ffie IV. T. Sun. It was n misfortune to tbe Democracy when Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana left the United States Senate, for he was their ablest Son a tor. He has rccontly been mak ing a speech to. the Democrats of Near Orleans, in which ho dwelt at length npon the fifteenth anieudmont, and the future relations of the whites and blacks in the Southern States. Speaking of the amendment, Mr. Ilendrioks Baid: "New relations bare come to exist between yon and the colored people or the South, How will you place yourself lu regard to those new relations 7 They have not been of your seeking, and they may, perhaps, bo very disagreeable to you ; but tbe negro Is a voter In Louisiana, as he will be In Indiana, if the fifteenth amendment Is declared adopted, and It la not worth your while, nor Is it worth my while, to go back on the fixed fact" Having reached this sensible conclusion, Mr. Hendricks in the strongest terms advises the Southern Democracy to conciliate the negro vote, and thus take it out of the hands of the carpet-baggers. He urges his politioal friends to pursue the most liberal coarse towards the oolored population, to treat them as neighbors, and to give them every pos sible axsurance that they intend to recog nize all their rights, inoluding that of suf frage. These sentiments were received by the hearers of Mr. Hendricks with signal marks of approval; and it is a significant sign of the times that the speech is copied into the Phoenix, a leading Democratic Journal of Sontb Carolina, published at Columbia, the capital of the State. In commenting npon the speeoh, the Pltcmix says that Mr. Hen dricks' views "will be found eminently prac tical, liberal, and judicious;" and it declares that tbe sensible men of the South will cor dially adopt them. Some little time ago, when the adoption of the amendment was still an nncertainty, that astute Democratio journal, the Chioago Times, in an elaborate article on the subject, declared that "the probabilities are that the country will unwillingly accept the amend ment, and thus put a quietus on the negro question." This, doubtless, hits about the average sentiment of the Democraoy of the Northwest; while the bolder and more posi tive tone of the Columbia Phomix expresses the opinions and purposes of the Democracy of the South. When Thomas A. Hendricks, one of the foremost Democrats in the Union, speaks thus, and when the organ of the Democraoy of South Carolina commends his opinions as eminently practical and judicious, and when the Chioago Timet recognizes the acoeptanoe of the fifteenth amendment as a foregone conolusion, of course the subject is settled. In what an unenviable predicament does this leave the short-sighted but long-eared Democratio leaders of New York, who went through the empty form of repealing tbe legislative ratification of the amendment; and those of Connecticut, who passed stun ning resolutions against it in their reoent State Convention; and those of Rip Van Winkle New Jersey, whose Legislature woke up enough to reject the amendment just after its complete ratification was placed be yond contingency. For a year past the Sun has been trying to beat the ideas now expressed by Mr. Hen diioks into the heads of the Democratio lead ers of this section of the country. They will probably accept them just late enough to arouse the masses of the party to demand that these reactionary leaders shall be sent to the rear of . the advaneing column, while men of progressive ideas like Senator Hendricks are placed at its head. . , PURGING OFFICE OF MALFEASANCE. From the Chicago Republican. ' . If any evidence was laoking to prove that the Republican party is earnest, downright, manly, sincere and full or integrity ana pa triotism, that evidence would be forthcoming in its conspicuous zeal and fidelity in dealing out equal and exact justice, without distinc tion of person, to its own members guilty of malfeasance in office. Nowhere do we find any attempt to screen any official, however high bis station or powerful his influence, from deserved punishment, under a floe spun cloak of excuses and apologies. Despising all fripperies and claptrap, rising far above the . mere partisan con siderations of the moment, and alive to the importance of proving their faith by their works, the Republicans ot tne House ot pon eresa have not hesitated, even for an instant, to arraign, try, convict, expel, and deolare unworthy to hold Beats upon the floor of that bodv. anv member who is disooverea to be a faithless servant of the people, and a disgrace to the high and responsible position he fills in that branch of the councils of the nation. Nor do we believe that the Senate would be less Bwift than tbe House, under the like cir cumstances, to affix the brand of shame upon the entity forehead of anv one of its own members. But Washington is not the only place where Republican faithfulness refuses to so tamper with the bandatre about tbe eyes of Justioe, that she may furtively peer from underneath to discover whether the accused belongs to the majority or the minority, and thus learn whether or not she is to make heavy or light the blow of her avenging sword. All honor to the State of Louisiana! Her Senate, Bit ting as a court of impeachment, has declared by unanimous vote that a dishonest man, an extortioner, a faithless servant of the people, shall no longer disgraoe one of the highest positions in the State than is necessary to prove his guilt. In obedience to that irreversible but just fiat, George M. Wickliffe, Auditor of Publio Acoounts for Louisiana, charged with s violation of the Constitution and laws, in being unmindful of the high duties of his office and ef his official oath, has been tgno mlnionslv eiected from the resDonsible nlana to which he had been elected by a confiding nonstitnenov. and coos forth into the world not only shorn of his official station, but dis qualified ever again to hold any office of hnnor or trust under the State. The offense for which this punishment was inflicted was for overdrawing a speoifio appropriation by the Legislature; issuing warrants to parties who had not comolied with the express pro- vininna nf tha law: and trading in these warrants, with fraudulent and solf-ag crrandiziBfir intent, to the dotrimen. and disgraoe of the State, and to the committing of a hiph crime and a hich misdemeanor. Auditor WicklifTe was defended by an able counsellor, whose six hours' speech in behalf eit his nlinnt was a aicnal nroof of his skill. ingenuity, and great resources as a criminal advocate; but tbe frauds and robberies com mitted upon the State Treasury, in three hundred separate cubes, according to tuo tUl cation of the indictment, wore so flagTant I and notorious that no talent could avail to scrern tbe culprit rrotn nis weu-aesorvea punishment. The evidence was bo clear, direct, and abundant, that fidolity to the honor and Interests of tho State made requisite the conviction and infliction of the utmost penalty allowed for the offense. This trial is the more remarkable from the fact that it constitutes the first impeaohment and conviction of a high State officer in IjouiNiana since it existed as a State of the Union. While we trust this summary exam ple will prove a lesson to deter and restrain other officials whose transactions have not been altogether free from suspicion of cor ruption and infidelity to high trusts, we feel justified in adding the above instance of the unwavering administration of justice to other like cases, as cumulative proof that the Re publican party, as an organization, will always be found on the side of honesty, and against those who betray trusts and disgraoe stations bestowed upon them by the suffrages of the people, even though such offenders may be strong partisan friends, powerful in influence and exalted in position. A party that can thus inexorably be true to the in terests and rights of official purity and faithfulness may well be trusted to be true to the interests and rights of the voting masses. HIGH JINKS. From the IT. T. World. In reading the Southern papers, one comes occasionally across some very remarkable things in the way of legislative discussions, told by the papers with a certain grim quiet ness, as though they were nothing unusual, which deepens the effeet. The report more immediately in question is that describing the closing proceedings of the upper house of the South Carolina Legislature, which ad journed on the 1st inst. The closing hours of the session were devoted to the holding of a species of "experience meeting," in whioh divers of the piebald brethren discoursed f the effeots of the reconstruction gospel upon them; and, after sundry of the sooty statesmen late promoted from the rioe-field to the forum had talked in the longest words in the dictionary about the glorious of die ting, a Mr. Leslie, a Senator of the now unfavored white blood, takes the floor. Being loiL it will not surprise the reader to hear that Mr. Leslie is a oarpet-bagger a rogue ex officio, of course, but, like most of the peripatetic generation of vipers to whioh he belongs, not nngif ted with a species of dirty shrewdness. As the reader must know, the negroes in the South Carolina Legislature number within a fraction of two-thirds of the whole body, have the Seoretary of State, and one of the two associate justioes of the Su preme Court of the State of their own hue, and look down with sublime contempt on the poor "plains." The harlotry of Mr. Leslie's politics having not quite debauched out of him the recollection of his white father and mother, he rises to a suggestion that it is, after all, somewhat possible that a white man may be as good as a negro even in South Carolina, and mildly hints his doubts as a Republican whether the reconstruction of the Palmetto State can be deemed an entire success. The intima tion of these heresies excites indignation in the breasts of those colored citizens who rule South Carolina, even as their tawny compeer in the Senate at Washington rules us of tho North, and their just indignation finds utter ance in a colored Senator who not so long back rejoiced in being lifted out of the grade of a common nigger by reason of driving his master's coach. This honorable Senator says to Mr. Leslie, these being tbe words of the verbatim report: "If you don't like the party get out of it." This kind of thing Mr. Leslie deems an infringement of free speeoh, ana proceeds stall further to express his apprehension : that a spirit is axis ing throughout the Union whioh threatens to bundle such bodies as the one he addresses neck and crop out of doors. Here again are what the a renoh parliamentarians term "vari ous movements, aooompanied with words more or less unsavory; but, disregarding the same, our honorable Senator continues his veccavi. dwellinsr esDeoiallv on the ill omnion he has of the person who now exhibits him self as a living forgery on the name of Gov ernor of South Carolina, and intimates that in bis (Leslie s) mind s eye he Bees this per son appealing to the worst passions of the black race for his own ends. "Various move ments" ensue. What they are, report states: First colored Senator Ton 're a liar. Second colored Senator You're a thief. Third colored Senator Hold your tongue, or yoa will be In the penitentiary in less than ninety days. f eurth colored senator IS you don t dry up well noes n i out 01 yoa. Mr. Leslie Mr. President. I do not mind these In terruptions. But he does mind them. That white blood. which is better than any black, or brown, or red, or yellow blood that ever was spawned, stirs in the veins even of this poor carpet-bag rogue, and in a feeble way nature ferces mm to strike at his African owners. He tells them: "You are trying to run this machine with so many Impossibilities and Impracticabilities, by mixing up color and corruption, that It la like an old wagon running; down but. It wlbbies and wobbles, and you don't know w newer you are going to the bottom or to tne aeviL" What follows is soon told: Ralney (oolored Senator) The Senator Is speaking disparagingly oi me party. Mr. labile uo on witn your interruptions, dui i propose to speak for and in defense of an honest government. DwatlB (coioreu oenamrj is hub a punuuai meet ing or not t l snouia nxe to anow.

Tbe person on tbe floor la doing all he can for the support of the Republican party, and his speeoh will be the best electioneering document we can have for tbe administration of bis Excellency Governor Bcatt. Were we not right in saying that, in reading the Southern papers, one comes at times on some remarkable legislative proceedings? THE LATEST DEVICE OF THE ENEMY. From the If. T. Time. The Tammany charter, as Introduced some weeks ago, was as misohievous as anything emanating from that quarter might be ex pected to be. It was iutended to destroy the few guarantees of order and the few agenoies of passable administration of whioh tbe people of this oitv are enabled to boast. It was designed to make the "King," with all its corruption and infamy, absolute master in every branch of the oitv covernment. Even Democrats deolared the soheme in tolerable, and professed a determination to furnish a substitute. They waged WAr, fast and furious, upon the ring, and dedioated themselves to its destruction. There was a show of virtue as well as valor on the part of this anti-ring Democracy, and great were the hopes excited by its promises. In due time the new leaders were proclaimed, and then, on the instant, tana ia the movement v,a isbed. With Messrs. Norton, Genet, and Creamer m controlling agents in the crnsade acainst the rinc. there could be no rational expectation of improvement. The old ring is bad: a new rine. composed of the Nortons, Genets, and Creamers of the disaffected De mocracy, would be no better. So with the anti-ring charter. Prepared with loud professions of purity and presented with a flourish of trumpets which might well herald a great reform, it turns out to be a sham and a fraud. It abolishes the commis sions, which alone have made the city en durable, and places all governing power rndor the influences which have enabled the Tammanv rlncr to become what it is. The police deportment it makes subject to a popu lar election and what that means in New York all of us know. The fire department, the health department, the common schools, the publio charities, the Croton management, and even the Central Park, are all to be under the oontrol of functionaries appointed by the Mayor, "with the advioe and consent of the lioara 01 Aiuermen The Mayor and aldermen will be the real adminis trators of the city s affairs, exoepting only in respect of the polioe f oroe, whioh will be the creature of tbe constituency to whom the Mayor and aldermen are at present indebted for official existenoe. In effect, therefore. the real governing force in every department will be tbe same class of voters, and the same election machinery, by and through which Tammanv has acquired its power. And this is the grand result to whioh the valorous Democratio reformers have brought us! This is the final manifestation of that ostentatious Demooratio virtue which began with threatening revolution in the cause of order, and ends with Jhe exaltation of Norton, Genet, and Creamer as model munioipal re formers ! What was supposed to be a reform movement proves to be a clumsy, shameless piece of jugglery. The charter from whioh we were told to expect great things is found to be a oontrivanoe for rendering corruption and rascality easy and safe. The truth is, there can be no munioipal re form here until pure elections have been assured. The deoent, honest, intelligent elements of our population must be enabled to control the ballot-box. The reputable opinion of the city must have free course, or the plea of governing by the people beoomes a pretence for perpetuating the iniquities which now disgraoe every election. A NEW PARTY. From the N. T. Notion. Not long ago, intimations were heard in no less a place than the Senate Chamber that ideas were afloat which looked to the forma tion of a new party, air. Drake even in sinuated that the notion had influenced the course of Senators themselves. "I have heard of such things," said he, "as individuals taking it into their heads that the Republican party was to go to pieces, and looking out to see whether they could plant their anchors to windward in the new party that was to come up. , Who knows who can tell but that this idea may have entered the saored preoincts of this Senate Chamber ? Who indeed ! The Senate Chamber would, in laot, be the very first place such an idea might naturally enter, sinoe it is the place where party perplexities are most Btrongly felt. Hcarooly one conaide rable question has been raised in Congress this winter on which tbe Kepublioan party has noted with unanimity. There is scarcely an important measure now before either house on which party lines are likely to be regarded. Hardly a single reoom mendation made by the President has been warmly supported by his party friends in Con Kress, and the administration has been responsible for a very small share of what its friends in Congress have decided to do. If the President had chosen it, or if he had understood the power of his situation, be might easily have had two administration parties in the legislature, each swearing its fidelity and devotion, instead oi, as now, com bining to thwart and humiliate him. There was no reason why tne resident should nave allowed himself to be treated as he has been treated this winter. The Virginia bill might have been passed as it came from the House. Judge Hoar need not have been rejected The foreign treaties might have been con firmed. Mr. Dawes attack might have been avoided. Even Mr. Boutwell's finanoial poliay, if he had had a finanoial polioy, might have been treated with respect, if the administra tion had been strong enough to take ad van nrrn of tha condition of parties in Concress But such balancing of political combinations was not in tbe President s character, and be preferred to endure with patience the steady series oi slights mniciea on mm dj ineuus and enemies alike. If the Republican party is in trouble, the Democrats are quite as badly off. Their internal dissensions are more dangerous than anvthins the Republicans have to suffer, if it were possible to throw aside all party affilia tions, many leading Democrats would be glad to do so, and take their chanoe of a new cast of the dioe. Now that reconstruction is pnssed, there is scarcely a point on which Democrats are agreed, not even that of the tariff; and to purify their organization so as to regain publio confidence is a long and difll- cult task, unless mey are uiueu uy tueir ad versaries mistakes. These are some of the reasons which have led many persons to consider in grave earnest tbe DosKiuility oi forming a new party an idea which has led more politicians into poli tioal bogs and quagmires than even the oppo site notion of blind partf devotion. One nartv has commonly little superiority to another in its modes of corruption; and if Tammany belongs to one side, the carpet-bag gentlemen belong to the other. But at least we can measure present evils, and can worn for a gradual oure: the swarm of flies that has now settled on the nation's sores, at all events, serves to keep a hungier swarm at a distance. Old parties, too. have a name to uphold and principles to maintain. If they make mistakes, they can be punished; if they reform, thev can be rewarded. &ven tne oiu Tammany is not so alarming as a new Tarn manv would ba: and in the upturning of a new nartv. who can tell what scum would rise to the top ? How long was the Republi can party pure ? and what reason have we for believing that, if the new party is pure, it can be successful, or, if suooessf uL. that it will be a shade purer than the present organizations? But there are reasons, much more urgent then these, for questioning the praotioal utility of suoh a movement. The reason why loth of the existing parties are crumbling to nieoes is. that thev are unable to agree within themselves on a course to be pursued. There are two great popular issues on whioh alone a new party could be based. One of these is, free trade: the other is. hard money. Neither the; Republioon nor the Demooratio party dares honeetlv face both these issues at onoe. and tbe consequence is that there is no longer any established line of opinion between them. A new party, to be worth existing at all, must plant itself firmly on both these positions, or it will have no advantage over its prede- CVRfjors. CAPTAIN EYRE. From the M. T. Tribune. The full aooounU of the Oneida disaster which we have published seem to 1e generally acoepted as oonolusive proof that the worst re presentation, of (jsptam Eyres inhumanity were no more than the truth. It is said that there must have been gross negligenoe on board both vessels if thev did not see each other in time to avoid a collision: it is also alleged that the Oneida was wrong in putting her neim a-starboard, when the rule of the road required her to port. In point of fact Captain i.yre testified that he did Bee the Oneida when she was more than a mile away, and it is natural to suppose that his vessel was seen at the same time. What took place, however, on board the corvette we do not know, nor is it just now especially importaat. If our officers were to blame they are beyond the reach of punishment or reproof. The question is not what caused the collision, but what followed it. The base desertion of the sinking ship by the captain of the Bombay is proved almost beyond a doubt. Captain Eyre is responsible for the death of a hundred men. It is gratifying to remember that British Bailors as a olass are distinguished for con duct very different from this man's, and none have been more severe in denouncing him than his own countrymen. Prominent Eng lishmen in New York deolared that it was the duty of Secretary Fish to demand the surrender of Eyre's person to the United States Government, and the duty of the British Ministry to send him here for trial even without a demand. This may not be good law, but it shows a substan tial sense of justice. We should be sorry on our part if any American court had to try this case. The crime is so black, the re sults have been bo awful, the penalty should be so severe, that we want the trial to be con ducted before a tribunal which cannot be suspected of prejudice against the prisoner. For we take it for granted that the matter is not to end with the Yokohama court of in quiry. It is not a case of damages, or a question of revoking the captain's certificate. Damages may be demanded afterward, if the Bombay proves to be in the wrong. The abandonment of a drowning crew is murder in the sight of heaven, whatever crime it may be in the books of the law. For that crime there must be a striot and impartial trial, and, if it is proved, a swift and heavy punishment. WINES AND LIQUORS. HER MAJESTY CHAMPAGNE.
