Tho Fifteenth Amendment.
By reference to another column It will
bo seen thnt President Grant has ofticl
ally proclaimed tlio adoption of this
Amondmcnt. Wo do not believe It lias
been letrally rsitlfled. Tho consent of
TJaw York was withdrawn beforo tho
ratification was comploto; In Indiana
tho mcosuro was passed without tho
necessary quorum In tho Legislature,
and was therefore Illegal ; and in sever'
al of the Southern States tho ratlflca
tion was mado by bogus States, whoso
organization oven Congress refused to
endorse by admitting them to ropres
entatlon. If they at the time wero out
ofthe Union and If they wuronot,why
readmit them T they could not give
legal assent to a measure which was to
bind every man in tho nation.
But tho amendment lacks moral as
wall as legal weight. It is undeniable
that many Legislatures approved of it
when their constituents expressly voted
it down, as In Michigan, Ohio, Connect
icut, and other states. Again it was
pushed through Congress when a largo
number orSouthcrn States wero cither
without represcn tat ion , or if represented
It was by a set of carpet-baggers pushed
into their seats by colored voters and
Federal bayonels, and tho ratlllcatlon
of several States accomplished by tho
disfranchisement of tho white race, and
tho strong arm of military power. Hut
it has becu declared adopted, and tho
Supremo Court undoubtedly will sus
tain It, as it has just been packed by ap
pointing judges who aro willing to be
como tho pliant tools of n military ad
ministration. Itesistanco, though Justi
fiable, is not to bo thought of. If
attempted It would give tho Iladicals a
now Icuso of power, and permanently
shoulder upon us such rulers as Grant,
Butler and Sheridan.
Wo aro not now, and never havobeen
In favor of making suffrage dependent
upon rare or color. Wo know that
many colored men arc as competent to
exorcise tho privllego as wo aro ; but
our objection Is to further degrading
the ballot,by admitting to Its ezperclso
three millions of semi-barbarous, Ignor
ant blacks, who will bo mero tools of
carpet-baggers and military satraps,
Intelligence counts for naught, and
power is lodged In tho hands of Ignor
ance.
If tho people of Pennsylvania had de
cided in favor of negro suffrage, no ono
would have acquiesced moro cheerfully
than wo ! but they have not decided in
its favor j thoy aro opposed to it, and if
an opportunity had beon given them,
would have voted it down by a tremen
dous majority ; and yet it has been
forced on us. Theso aro our objections
to the Amendment, and wo submit to
Its enforcement under protest.
She Colored Vote.
Tho Flfteonth Amendment having
becomo a part of the Constitution, the
politicians are engaged in "cyphering
up" tho amount of the colored vote.
Perhaps wo can assist them in this
labor.
As the elections In Connecticut will
occur on Monday next, that Btateclalms
attention first, though It Is doubtful
whether the colored vote can be polled
there this year, as, we presume, some
legislation will be necessary to adapt
tho registry and other laws to the re
quirements of tho now condition of
things. The colored population of Con
necticut, in I860, was 8,627. At present
it is probably 10,000, and the number of
colored votes is. say about l.uuo. as
nearly all the new citizens will proba
bio vote with tho Republicans, thoDera-
ocrats may lose Connecticut, when the
colored men are admitted to tho polls.
Of tho States in which tho Amend
ment confers tho right of suffrago on
colored men, thoso having tho largest
colored population aro Delaware, ICon
tucky, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey,
Now York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
West Virginia. As tho last-named
Stale was not created when thoJast cou
sin was taken, wo aro unnblo to state
what Is tho number of her colored citi
zens. In Delaware they numbered 2!,
027 in 18C0, and now this class of that
State's population probably reaches 2.1,
000, orabout '1,000 votcis. In Kentucky,
tho colored population in 18C0 was 230,
167, and may now bo as high as 250,000,
which would afford about forty thous
and voters. In New Jersey tho colored
people numbered 25,336 when tho last
census was taken. Their present num
ber Is probably 80,000 about 6,000 vo
ters. These may be tho means of ro-olce-
ting Mr. Cuttell to tho Senate next win
ter. A very largo proportion of the
colored people ol that Stalo, however,
reside in tho six lower counties, which
compose tho First Congrcaslonal district
and which aro strongly Republican
now. In thefco tho colored vote will

colored voters will numbcrabout 20,000,
and will prove an Immense acquisition

this will prove somewhat dangerous- to

probably, about 60,000, affording a vote
of about 10,000. In this city, the color

This statement being unsatlsfao tory
young Ikeler was put under pressure
and threatened in order to extort testi
mony from him. Ho was told that if
ho did not testify in a satisfactory
manner he would le sent in Mr. Chapin!1
place. IIo s.tys that Prof. Pealer told him
that "If ho did not swear against Mr.
Chapin ho (Pcaler)would havo Mr.
Chapin brought homo from Fort Miff
lin and send him tliero in Chopin's
place, and It was not likely ho would
over get out." The boy was then held
under guard as a prisoner and in his
state of alarm and confusion of mind a
second aflUlavit was extorted from him
on tho day following tho making of tho
first one. It wasas follows: "Fran
cis M. Iklhh: l went to D. L. Chapin
Sunday morning between 0 & 7,
o'clock and rapped nttho doorand agirl
cnino to tho door, and I asked to seo
Mr. Chapin. Slio called him out of bed.

I then bought n box ofgun caps and two

P. S. I was advised not to toll any
thing about Chapin."
Sub3equently,upon Ikeler's being pro
duced beforo tho Military Commission,
ho made a third statement, in a modi-
fled form, which was considered to bo
of no Importance by the Commlsiou.
Wo have endeavored to obtain au exact
copy of his testimony from A. J. Herr,
Esq, who was counsel for tho Defendant
but that gentleman is unable to find
his papers in tho case as thoy havo been
mislaid. But wo havo abundant in
formation already of tho utter worth-
lessncssor rather impudence of the
pretenses on which Mr. Chapin wos
arrested and subjected to four mouths
of dungeon life. Tho two bars of lead
sold Ikeler would weigh about 2Soz.
These mid tho slnglo box of G. D. gun
caps, constituted the military supplies
furnished by Mr. C. for resisting the
army of invasion, according to the
theory of the prosecution? Of course
thero never was any sincerity In this
most frivolous accusation which was
concocted Inmalicoand died evontually
under general contempt.
Mr. Chapin' health was affected by
his Imprisonment. IIo becamo rhou
matloand his sight much impaired and
when taken to Ilarrlsburg for trial was
unable to walk from tho depot, ouo leg
being drawn up. Hois yet troubled
with rlieumatlson and chronic diarrhoea
contracted nt Fort Mifflin In bombproof
IIo was tried for resMIng the draft,
though ho had been ono of tho most
active men in his tocUon In nsslstlug to
furnish soldiers for tho war. In conclu
ding his caso wo will ask our readers to
peruse tho following statement written
by Mr. Chapin In prison, Dec. II. 1801,
every word of which Is indubitably
true.

Senator Buckalcw's Speech.
Wo publish on our outside tho able
speechofSenatorBuckalewin opposition
to tho dispersion of tho Sinking Fund.
Senator Bucknlcw was tho author of
tho clause of tho Stato Constitution by
which tho Sinking Fund was created,
and ho ought to know, If any man liv
ing does, what was meant by tho lan
guage employed. IIo shows very
clearly that iho bill recently passed is
violative of tho Constitution of tho
Commonwealth. No ono who reads
his argument can fall to bo convinced
of tho perfect soundncssof his position.
If tho Supremo Court is allowed to
pass upon this bill it will bo declared
unconstitutional, and tho securities in
tho Sinking Fuud will not bo dispersed
among tho corporators who own tho
projected railroads. Tho danger Is that
Governor Geary will not sign tho bill
until General Irwin, the newly elected
Stato Treasurer, Is ready to transfer the
securities at moment's notice. From
prominent Radical sources comes the
r umor thatGen. Irwin, tho reform can-
d Idato of tho Express nnd certain other
Republican papers, is deep in a plot to
perfect tho contemplated swindle.
Nothing buttho complicity of Governor
Geary In tho contemplated schemo of
rascality can prevent tho bill from being
tooted beforo tho Supremo Court of tho
State. A fair test will show whether
tho arguments of Senator Ducktilew are
sound or not. Wo aro convinced that
the Court would coincide In his view of
tho fundamental law of tho Common
wealth. Tho only danger is that it will
bo prevented from being carried up by
tho action of tho Governor and thoStato
Treasurer. Lancaster Intelligencer.
Connecticut's Answer to tho 2Vth
.Amendment.
Tho majority for Governor English,
In Connecticut, will ho 7-18, n Democrat
ic gain over last year of l.loO, nnd over
the Presidential vole of 3,703.
In thoSenato tho Radicals havo only
ono majority, and tho Democratic rep.
resentntlon In tho Legislature is larger
than it has been for sixteen years.
Connecticut has beon tho first Stato to
hold nil election sinco tho proclamation
of tho ratification of tho fifteenth amend
ment, and her judgment upon that In
iquity Is emphatic. Shu rebukes tho
partisan Congress which forced tho
measure upon unwilling States nt tho
point of tho baypnet. She rebukes tho
partisan Legislature which less than a
year ugo, In facoof tho oft-repealed de
claration of tho peoplo of Connecticut,
voted to ratify tho nmcndincut. Tho
result of Monday Is nn Index of tho
popular tempor. Though tho major
itles nnd gains may bo small in tho
smaller States, yet they aro express
Ivo of tho drift of public sentiment In
thoso communities. Hundreds In Con
necticut hnvo tho samo algnlfleanco ns

necticut repudiates Radicalism is qulto
as pregnant with moaning ns that which
marked tho change of party power In
this State threo years ago. Coming, ns
tho Connecticut victory does, so closely!
upon tho narrow escape of tho Radicals!
In New Hampshlro and tho heavy and
uniform gains of tho Domocrats In tho
Now York town elections, It is manifest
that tho power of tho Radical party Is

."! KEMABKS OP
HON. CHARLfcS R. BUCKALEW,
In the Senate of Pennsylvaiii,on Wed
nesday evening March lilh, 1870, t.oi
the Hill (ofacllllalc, the construction of
certain llailroads by exchanging the
Securities in the Sinking Fund for
new and inferior obligations,
Mk. Spuakku: I tnko early occas
ion in tho progress of this debate to
stato briefly my Joasons for voting
against this bill. As my voico Is not
In good condition, I shall bo compelled
to solicit thcludulgonco of tho Spo.tkcr
and of tho Scnato, whllo I attempt to
stato thoso reasons. Thoy aro threo In
number: tho first is that this bill takes
out of tho sinking fund no less a sum
than six millions of dollars, put thcro
under a provision of tho Constitution
of tills Commonwealth, and pledged to
remain tliero until It shall bo taken
therefrom for tho purpose of being ap
plied to tho payment of tho public debt,
aud to bo applied to no other purpose
whatever. My second objection to this
bill Is that it Impairs tho security of tho
Commonwealth for tho final payment
of this debt which Is now owing to us
from tho Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. Wo aro to dlschargo that wealthy
and powerful corporation from all re
sponsibility to us upon tho bonds which
wo hold against her, and aro to lake, In
stead of thorn, tho bonds of n railroad
corporation whoso road Is not yet con
structed, and whoso futuro prosperity
nnd solvency U problematical, and
about which wo havo no certain infor
mation. Wo nro, therefore, to give up
our demand against a solvent debtor, a
powerful corporation, whoso futuro sol
vency Is reasonably certain, and wo tiro
to tako tho bonds of it corporation whoso
road Is unbuilt and whoso futuro is un
known. Mn. Or.MSTHii. Tho construction of
tho road Is to bu guaranteed before
tliero Is any delivery of bonds.
Mil. BuuKAr.HW. I am coining to
that. Tho Senator need not apprehend
that I shall stato tho claims of this bill
unfairly, because I havo no hostility
against tho improvinent imposed, nor
havo I against tho gentlemen who nro
particularly interested in its construc
tion aud In tho passago of tho hill.
Wo aro to havo guarantees, howover ;
and what aro thoyV Why, thoy aro
theso: tho Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, and tho Philadelphia t Erie Rail
road Company nro to guarantoo to tho
Stato that tho road shall bo built within
threo years from the passago of this bill
anil that during that period of time
during tho construction of tho road
tho payments of Interest provided In this
bill shall bo inado by tills corporation
whoso bonds wo tako. Now, sir, 1 un
derstand that to bo the whole scopo of
tho guarantee. But from tho time
when tho roadshall bo fully constructed,
however imperfectly that may bo and
wo havo no guarantee that It shall bo
well dono from that moment all claim
and security which tho Commonwealth
holds against tho Pennsylvania Rail
road Company will bo entirely dis
charged, and wo aro to look to this now
corporation alnno. Successive pay
ments after 187 1 uro to bo made of $100,
000 down to 1S90, and other portions of
tho principal aro to bo paid in 1801, 1S02,
nnd 1893, nnd tho flnnl payment in 1S91.
I repeat, then, that my second objection
to this bill is thnt it impairs tho securi
ty of tho peoplo of Pennsylvania that
this debt of six millions of dollars
which is duo to them shall bo paid ac
cording to tho terms of tho contract
which liua been made. Lastly, Mr.
Speaker, this bill postpones tho pay
ment of this money, and postpones it
In a very material degree. In 1801, we
mado a contract with tho Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, by which wo dls
charged her from tho payment of ton
nago tax, for tho payment of which she
was llabio by her charter, tho contract
extending back into former times, bo
yond tho recollection of many persons
now in this chamber. A condition wua
imposed upon that corporation, when
tho road was constructed, that she
should jiay duties to tho Commonwealth
upon tho business sho did, ns u sort of
protection to tho Stato against tho com
petition ofn now railroad Improvement
with tho public works that had been
mado and wero owned by tho Common
wealth. Timo passed on until 1S01,
when tho Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany camo forward and agreed to pay
8100,000 per annum, upon her Indebted
ness to tho State, until tho year 1890,
When tho remainder tliocomparatlvely
small part orthu principal which would
be still duo was to bo paid. Now,thcn,
by this bill, you extend Its payment for
thrcu or four years. But, what Is moro
material, you postpone tho payment of
tho principal which would bo paid by
tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company
under tho law of 1801; you postpono tho
payment of a great part of It until tho
year 1890, ho that tho Stato cannot ren
llzo tho monoys duo to them, and thoy
cannot bo applied to tho public indebt
edness, under tho sinking fund laws, ns
soon as they would bo if this hill should
not pass. In other words, assuming
that nil theso moneys will como Into
tho treasury which I lusist Is not cer
tain under this bill It is unquestiona
ble that tho payment of tho debt duo to
us and to becomo duo is to bo postponed
by this bill, and postponed very greatly
without any consideration whntover.
Wo aro to release tho Pennsylvania
Railroad Company from nn obligation
which I supposo to bo worth hundreds
of thousands of dollars, and perhaps
millions. Of courso tho commercial
valuo of such an obligation Is ono which
I am not competent to estimate. I say
that that corporation Is to bo discharg
ed from that obligation by tho terms of
this bill. All claims nnd demands
agaliiat her nro to bo extinguished by
this bill; our securities against her nro
10 b0 l,as3C" vor to tho Jeroey Sli
1lnoCrcckltl5ufrilllllllro'd Comr
to bo passed over to tho Jersey Shore,
;any
nnd tho Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany Is to respond to that corporation
horeafter, and not to tho Stato. Why
should wo surrender theso? Why
should we dlschargo this obligation
against a solvent company, perfectly
ablo to respond to us, and ono that wo
may suppose to bo perfectly willing to
keep to her contract of 1801 n contract
for a valuable consideration Involving
a Just demand upon hor under tho law ?
I do not propose to enlarge upon tho
Improvidencoofthls measure. I tako
It for granted that this now road load
ing from Buffalo Into tho forests of our
northern counties aud to bo connected
with tho Philadelphia it Erie railroad
nt Jersey Shore, nnd to obtain connco
lions In short, with nil tho central and
enstern Unas of railroad which havo
been constructed In our Stato, Is lo be,
and will he, nn Important nnd valuable
feeder to tho Philadelphia A. Hrlo, tho
Norlhorn Cenlrnl.nnd tho Penusylvau
loRullroad Companies, and thnt they
can well afford to tako upon themselves
thu slight guarantees provided by this
bill, nnd, In fact, to respond to tho de
mand for thnt improvement. They nro
directly Interested In its being made,
and nny effort or sacrlfico which thoy
can mako for tho purposo of securing
tho completion of that road will proba
bly bo returned to them In rich aud
abundant results In tho prosperity of
their own lines.
Now, therefore, tliero Is no reason, I
assume, hi tho uatura of tho case, why
tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company
should bo discharged from tho obliga
tions of tho net of 1801 to tho Common
wealth no reason why tho money now
duo or to becomo duo to tho peoplo of
th Is Stato (bccnusowltcu pnld Into the
treasury It Is their money) no reason
why payment of thnt money, which Is
to bo applied to tho public indebtedness
should bo postponed, ns It will be, for
lung periods of tlmo nnd for largo
amounts, under tho operation of this
bill.
I repent, I do not propose to discuss
tho merits of this measure at length
protest again that I am Influenced by
no reelings of hostility to this Improve.

1 turn back to the first and material
question. Is not this fund already de
voted to a particular object by the Con
stltutional nmendmeutof lS57,and have
wo lower to tako it from under tho op
oration of that amendment, nnd of tho
laws that havo been passed in pursu
ance thereof and devoto it to another
purposo? What Is that amendment? I
shall bo brief in stnting it, becauso to
stato it is to concludo tho argument:
Words added to the mero statement of
tho case, aro idlo and to no purposo. By
tho amendment which was drawn by
mo In 1850, and concurred in by every
member of tho then Scnato, it was pro
vided that no greater amount of public
indebtedness should bo created by tho
Stato, or ngainst tho State, than three
quarters of n million of dollars, unless
in timo of war or invasion a caso which
has since arisen, but which wo may
nopo may not again, at least soon, arise
But that went but a small way, in ol
der to hocuro us for tho futuro against
tho improvident management of our
public nffnirs. Tho amendment goes on
to provldo that n sinking fund shall bo
established forthogradual payment and
extinguishment of the public debt of
tho Commonwealth, which was then
nearly forty millions, a huge sum nnd
n groat burden, which it was desired to
liquidatoas soon as possible, thereby
relieving tho peoplo. Wo provided In
that amendment, (which was adopted
by tho peoplo by an olrao3t unanimous
vote,) that certain sources of rovenuo
nnd certain objects of valuo should bo
Irrevocably devoted to that fund.
Among other things, tho revenues of
tho public works of tho Stale, held nnd
owned by thoStato, wero to bo put into
tho sinking fund, and then, sir, tho pro
ceeds I quoto tho exact purport tho
proceeds of thesnlcs of tho public works
ns they mlglit bo mado under authority
01 law, wero also to bo paid into that
fund, together with such other oblccts
of income or rovenuo us might bo desig
nated ty law, nnd tho Legislature, nt
Its first session nfter tho adoption of
that amendment, was to enact a law es
tabllshing tho machinery necessary for
tins sinning fund and provldo tho prop
or agents for Its practical working and
management. Aud then, sir, what
more? becauso I como now to tho ma
torlal clausoof thnt amendment: It was
provided thnt no pai t of tho said sink-
ing fund should bo used or applied oth-
crwlso than in tho extinguishment of
tlio public debt.
Now, Mr, Speaker, if I wero called
ni n.i ..
miuu in. 1111.1 HHHueuv 10 wruo n ciauso
to condemn this bill and prevent Its
passage, 1 do not know that tho English
language would afford mo moro apt and
coiicltislvo words than thoso to oxcludo
all pretence of power In tho Legislature
to pass this bill: "No part of tho said
sinking fund shall bo used or applied
othcrwiso than in extinguishment of
tho public debt." Hero, sir, you pro
pos'j to uso that fund to build railroads
through tho forests of M'Kean, in tho
county of Erlo, and among tho hills
and valleys of Greene I Tho north, tho
west, and thesouth-westarotobo reach
ed by statute, and roads nro to spring
up there, upon what foundation? by
what means? By theso means In tho
sinking fund, put thero by constitution,
nl Injunction, placed thero by statute,
covered there by words as strong ns tho
English language contains In nny lexi
con over written, and sacred from and
un touchable by IcgMati vo power I And
yet, sir, this bill is to pass. Theso words
I utter hero (which nioslniply.l repeat,
words of sincerity nnd not of mnlovo
lonco ngainst this mcasuro or ngainst
tho men concerned in It) theso words of
initio will go for nought. Influences
moro powerful than logic, Influences
which tho highest nrts of rhetoric can
not roach or affect, aro present within
this chamber, and exist outside of this
chamber, and tho men who nro bent
hero to represent tho tollers nnd tho cap.
Italists of Pennsylvania will bo moved
liko automata by thorn.
Tliero will bo recorded upon our en
during records an net which, in mv
Judgment, Invades tho fundamental
law which wo havo taken oaths to bud-
port, which will put In peril tho collec
tion of theso nine millions nnd n half of
public resources ami which confessedly
postpones tlio payment into tho public
treasury of moneys to becomo duo to It
from n solvent debtor, nnd discharges
that debtor from n solemn obligation,
contracted in lBOI.for full consideration.
All theso public considerations,
which ottcht to speak triimppl-tonod (o
111, will lm put aside or discharged. And
why?- : n ,
It Is.iTot for 1110, an individual slnnd
Ing hero for tho first tlmo In many
years, to go over tho recent history of
legislation In our Slate, to portray 1110
unpleasant fentures which navo niteii'
ded Its progress, to repent horo tho ob
scrvnllons which havo been mado con
cernlnglt in various porta of our Com
monwcnlth, nnd beyond Its limits. I
do not think, Mr. Speaker, that much
good Is ordinarily dono by denouncing
clamorously, nnd violently, supposed
corruption In high places of political
power. I think that ludiscrlmlnatodo-
nuuclatlon docs moro Injury thnn It can
possibly do good, for It creates In tho
minds of tlio people tho Impression that
all government is unsound nnd that
human nature is utterly degraded, that
our Institutions cannot nnd do not work
well, and possibly mny lay tho fouiula
lion of opinion nnd sentiment for their
ultimate abrogation, for giving them
up, nnd for substituting in their plnco
other Institutions supposed to bo better
calculated for tho government of men
who hnvo becomo too base to govern
themselves. Therefore 1 think it is not
expedient to dilate too much aud too
often upon tho evils nnd corruption of
public life. When 1 would speak upon
theso subjects, I would speak when the
speech can bo followed by 11 blow, by
punishment which shall teach n whole
somo lesson to tho doers of evil. Sir, J
am admonished by facts which hnvo re
contly occurred thnt this is not u timo
to punish or oven lo investignto the
conduct of official delinquents. A public
officer, who has managed thu treasury
ol tho peoplo, and who hvvour Govern
or himself Is charged with misconduct
(along with others), is nt tills moment
contumacious beforo your authority and
your lower, and, sir, you nro unablo to
call him to account ; you dare not bring
him to your bar and submit to him nn
open question, in plain language, about
his administration of the public moneys
ofthu peoplo which ho was employed
to manage and administer under tlio
laws of tho State. You do not oven
insist that you shall havo somo Httlo
gleams of truth from 11 witness, througl
a committee, so that tho peoplo shall
know what has been dono In high pul
Impositions. With this fresh lesson in
our minds, I think it unnecessary to
appeal to high moral considerations
ngainst tho passago of this hill. I insist,
therefore, mainly upon tho threo irrcat
objections beforo mentioned as moro
than sufficient to condemn tlio bill and
to justify my opposition to its passage.
And now, sir, having vindicated my
own position, I snail leave to every
oilier member tho personal resiionsl-
bilityoflils own courso nnd his own
voto.
NOTI2. It is to bo observed that tho
foregoing remarks relate almost entire.
Iy to tlio original bill which was confin
ed to tho Jersey Shore, Pino Creek &
Buffalo Railroad Company, and do not
discuss the second section reported by
tlio Committee, as nn amendment, on
tlio very day when tho bill was calloil
up for consideration.
But that section Is as much open to
observation as tlio flrst.lts material fea
ture is tho taking out orthoslnkingfuud
of $3,r,0(),000 of bonds of tlio Allegheny
Valloy Railroad Company, tlio pay
ment of which is guaranteed by tlio
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and
substituting in their stoad bonds for n
like amount issued by threo companies
whoso roads aro unbuilt. Tho latter
bonds nro to bo taken wlthoutany guar
antee of their payment, similar to that
which Is attached to tlio bonds now hold
by tho Slate. Their uitimato payment
will depend upon tho solvency of tho
now corporations and their ability to
meet tho demand of thoStato as n sec
ond mortgago Hen upon their roads.

Tho Fifteenth Amendment.

tiers.'
It Is unusual to notify lliu two houses
of Congress by mcssngo of tho promiil
gatlon by proclamation of tho Secretary
of Stato ofthe ratification of a constllu
tlonnl amendment. In view, howover,
of tho vnst lmportnnco of tho Fifteenth
Amendment of tho Constitution, this
day declared n part of that rovcrcd In
strcmcnt, I deem n departure from tho
usual custom Justifiable. A mcasuro
which makes at onco four millions of
peoplo voters, who wero heretofore do
clarcd by tho highest tribunal In tho
laud not citizens of tho United States,
nor eligible to becomo so, with tho ns.
sertlon that nt tho tlmo of tho Declnrv
Hon of Independence tho opinion wns
fixed and universal In tho civilized por-
lion of tho whlto race, regarded ns nn
axiom In morals ns well as in politics,
that black men had no rights which
whlto men wero bound to respect Is
Indeed 11 mensuro of grander lmportnnco
thnn nny other act of tho kind, from
tho foundation of our frco Government
to tho present time. Institutions Ilko
ours, In which nil power Is derived di
rectly from tho pooplo, must depond
mnlnly upon their intelligence, patriot
ism, and Industry, I call tho attention,
therefore, of tho newly enfranchised
race to tho lmportnnco of their striving
in every honorable manner to mako
themselves worthy of their new privi
lege. To tho raco moro favored hero,
tofore by our laws I would soy, With
hold no legal privllego of advancement
to the now citizen. Tho framers of our
Constitution firmly belioved that a re
publican form of Government could not
enduro without intelligence and educn
lion generally diffused among tho peo
ple. Tho Father of his country, In his
Farewell Addrcts, uses this language:
"Promot3, then, nsamnttir of primary
importance, institutions for tho general
diffusion of knowledge. In proportion
as tho structure of government givoi
force to public opinion, it is essential
that public opinion should bo enlight
ened." In his first annual mcssago to
Congress the samo views wero forcibly
presented, and aro again urged In his
eighth message. I repeat that thcadop
tion of tho Fifteenth Amendment to
thu Constitution completes tho greatest
civil change, nnd constitutes tlio most
important event that has occurred sinco
tho nation camo into life. Tho chimgo
will bo beneficial in proportion to tho
heed that is given to tho urgent recom
mendations of Washington. If theso
recommendations wore Important then,
with a population of but a fow millions
how much moro Important now, with a
population of forty millions, nnd in
creasing I n n rapid ratio. I would there
fore call upon Congress to tnko nil tho
means within their constitutional pow
er to promoto and encourage popular
education throughout tho country, nnd
upon tho peoplo everywhere to sco to It
Hint nil who possess nnd oxcrclso politi
cal rights shall havo tho opportunity to
acquire tho knowledge which will mako
their share in the Government n bless
ing and not a danger. By such means
only can tho benefits contemplated by
this amendment to tho Constitution bo
secured. U. S. GRANT.
