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

party, and his speeoh will be the best electioneering

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.
