The credit and re.: nown of this discovery, 'hOwetier, is not to be enjoyed_ Slone, by the Gen eral; but is to be shared by the Edit or of the Argus. In immortal fame the names of nerrox and PARSONti will live, as having been •the first to dis cover, and the earliest to expose, the unconstitutionality of that gross ont- rage upon the rights of the White Man, the Fifteenth Amendment! Par nobilefratrum ! In future ages, 1»• a grateful people' their memory shall be perpetuated in. monuments of enduring .brass, for having prevented the consummation of ' that great wrong. And this is how it came 'about:, The editor of the Argo{, having grave doubts about the constitutionality and legality of the XVth Amendment, but having also fi modest estimate of his own opinion upon so great and momentous a question, resolves to submit the consideration of the mat- ter to an authority ,whose opinion shall be oracular and conclusive, and. at once set at rest the whole question. Naturally 'and inevitably, ho turns to Gen. PATTON, and addressing him a note from the "Argaz , Office, "7th April, 1870," after long preamble of personal flattery requests his "opin ion as to the legality of the action of Congress in passing and submitting the X:Vth A mendment• of the U. S. Constitution 'to the State lLegisla tures." (See Bradford Argii; of April 21)). Some people in reading the re quest and the answer would erhaps think that both were written by the same person, but we don't believe such is the case, as the letter and the answer it brought forth, bear the sig nature of different individuals, which satisfactorily disposes of that sugges . tion. The General takes nine days to consider and answer such a great con stitutional question, but on the 16th of April: his opinion is given. We regret to say that it is not in favor of the legality nor constitutionality of the NlTth Amendment. "On the con trary, quite the reverse." The Gen eral in reply, emphatically and plain ly declares, "I have no hesitation in "saying that, as Congress failed to "submit the XVth Amendment to the "President of the United States", for 'his action thereon, it has no Consti thitional or legal validity whatever." What the effect of this elaborate. argument and adverse decision will have upon the world, yet remains to be seen. At our latest advises, it had not . been promulgated beyond the columns of the Argae. But we suppose it will at once engage the at tention of the great Constitutional lawyers and the profound statesmen of the country, and that speedy steps will be taken=to arrest the execution of such an unconstitutional and ille gal enactment. While it rests with the Supreme Court' f the Uni'd States to pronounce the legal opinion which shall render the Xl . th Amendment null and void, yet the members of that distinguished tribunal, of course after the publication of this opinion, will hasten \to protect the Constitu tion from violation, and the laws from encroachment.. Their labors will be easy, us all they have to do is to de liver from the bench, the elaborate and exhaustive and 'convincing opin ion prepared for them ! (N. B. Will the editor of the Aryas please mail a copy of his paper to each Supreme Judge, postage paid' , ) We await with great anxiety to see the sensation this letter will make throughout the land. We do not ex pect to notice any attempts to ans wer it ; as all such attempts would be futile and presumptions. And we as sure the General that his promised "future exposition" of the important Constitutional questions involved, is unnecessyy, and will add nothing to his renown as a defender of the Con stitution, the measure of which is now full We venture to suggest that there is a wider and more unoc cupied field in promoting the cause of Temperance, and in demonstrating that the negro is the brother of the ape, and first cousin to the baboon.

Julian, of Indiana, presented a joint resolution. in the House, on Monday, to amend the Constitution by.a Six teenth Amendment, providing for fe male snffrage as follows: • "SPX* 307: I.

' . ligra ' tio6ll Whiehltre v : -" common and very potent at Harris burg. We publish the screech of the Agitator;•that our raiders may.see the other side of the affair: It bi with feelings of the most sincere regret that wo announce the veto of the Jersey Ithere, Pine Creek, and Buffalo railroad bid, by the Governor. It ems presented to him for approv al on the 6th Instant, and returned with his ob jeations on the 7th. The veto is a long string of excutes, is the guise of alleged notion!, for . this unexpected act. - A strong inpression prevailed that the .bov error woukl sign the WI, even do wn to the yeti day he returned it with his objections.- If he had objections before that time, they wore not made public; but, on the contrary, itis current ly reported that he expressed blinself in favor of the measure, even before it was fi nally deter mined upon by the two Houses. ' Why be pur sued this course, it is difiletilt to understand. It is e,question capable of SOIIIIIOI4 however . ; and . we believe it will be many a day before Govern or Geary can solve it in such Banner as to eliminate his honor andintegrity from impeach ment before the people. E Can it be that one in whom the Repub lica n masses have had so great confidence, hp been capable of betraying their interests - fore - gain! Such are the expressions we hear about us. Our own opinion of his cluir acter has been too exalted to permit such a be lief without evidence ; but this is not the only vote of the present session which requires ex planation. We are now dealing with his reasons, but on ly thefact of this veto. Hither 'he is greatly misrepresented,,or his behavior in this matter is inexplicable. He could not be for it and against it at the same time, and be honest to all parties. i Had he said from the beginning, "No, gentler/on," can approve no such bill," no ono could dd less than respect him for his independ ence and honesty in his opinions. As it is, it looks very much as if he had boon attempting to ride two horses at one time, and in opposite directions. We shall say more on this subject hereaftfr. . The reasons for the veto message, cannot be successfully controverted. The facts connected with the disap proval of the act, may not bear scru tiny so successfully. If the editor of the Agitator is cognizant of any facts impeaching the integrity of the Gov ernor, it should, in the interest of public morality, and the welfare of the Republican party, make them known. But any amount of duplici ty, or even moral turpitude, on the part of the Executive, cannot alter our judgment intregard to the propri ety of the veto. It might rserve to lessen our regard for the Governor, ; and diminish our confidence in the possibility of upright and cOnsicien tious public servants. That great in terests were affected by the approval or veto-of this act, there is no ques tion. As a matter of pecuniary im portance, hundreds of thousands of dollars were involved. The Erie -railway saw, in the consummation of the scheme, a direct and shbrt route to Buffalo; over which would pass the anthracite and bituminous coals elf Central Pennsylvania, 'on a track con trolled by Pennsylvania interests. The Blossburg Coal CompanieS, ( wholly owned and controlled ljq New York capitalis ts) saw a new route opened for the splendid bitu minous coals of North-western Penn sylvania, by which they could be plac ed in Buffalo at rates absolutely ru inous to the Coining managers. This of course, brought 31Aon to Harris burg,to look after the value of his im mense possessions, threatened with a ruinous competition. It was the conflict of great inter ests, which has given rise to rumors and suspicions of corrupt influences. That MAGEE and others could well af ford to spend a few hundreds of thousands of dollars to defeat this railroad project, is sufficient in itself, to those disappointed, to prove that the money was so used. It has been said, by one conversant with human nature, that "every man has his price," but until the Agitator makes specific charges, and substantiates them by irrefragible testimony, we prefer to retain our opinion that Gov ernor GEARY is a pure and incorrupt ible Exeentive,who places the welfare of the Commonwetilth far in advance of his personal aggrandizement; and whose integrity is only exceeded by his self-abnegation, and - utter and al most rekless disregard of personal consequences. -"'"4"1.11". •---- - APPROPRIATION BILL The General Appropriation Bill, as passed by the .Legislature, embraces the following items: • "Allowing the State Librarian $1,200. Giving the Superintendent of Public Printing $5OO salary. Making'the salary of the Chief Clerk of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, $l,BOO. The salary of the keeper of the arsenal is fix ed at $1,200. , • $lOO,OOO are appropriated for pensions and gratuities. The conference committee fixes the amount for the support of the common schools at $500,- 000, instead of $750,000 as passed by the House.' The salary of the lodges of the Supremo Court is fixed at $6,000 each. - The salary of the President Judge of Dau phin eounty is fixed by the committee at 45,500. $130,000 are appropriated for the payment of the salaries of the president; and associate law Judges of the Commonwealth, except Alleghe ny county, Philadelphia, and the twelfth judi cial district. $1,750,000 are appropriatod for the payment of the interest on the public debt. $50,000 is the amount set apart for- public printing, folding, stitching and binding.

The State appropriations for the improve ment of the Susquehanna river, above the line of Clinton county, $3,000. • The soldiers' orphans are provided for by an appropriation of $130,000 each quarter. THE INCOME TAX.—On Saturday last application was made to the Supreme 13ourt, at Philadelphia, by counsel on behalf of the Lake Superior and Mississippi railroad company; the Philadelphia and Reading railroad company; the Lehigh Valley railroad company! the Philadelphia and Tren ton railroad company; the Harris burg, Portsmouth, Mount Joy and Lancaster railroad company, who came into court and applied for in junctions to restrain the revenue offi cers from assessing and collecting an income tax from these corporations for 1870. The bill raises the ques tion whether the act authorizing the collection of an income tax continues that tax for 1870. The U. S. District Attorney appeared for the revenue officers, and after some discussion it was agreed to allow. the injunction to issue for the present.

Pooetz, - Esq., pliter of the Demoisat ie Weekly &miler: ;34 Dear Sir: We both. feel highly flattered and complimented at this unexpected correspondence which we hatched up at our last conference, foi the purpose of repealing that ar ticle of fundamental law, known as. the Fifteenth Amendment. I thank you more cordially for your unquali fied appreciation of my merits. lam proud to know that there are' others who entertain views so felicitously similar to my own. My experience of over seventy years vainly searching among the fos sil remains of antiquity for some evi dence by which to place the African in a lower scale of. intellectual and organic life than the Democrat,- has necessarily booked me up wonderful ly on all constitutional law. I be lieve I was born for just this little job, if for nothing else. Now to a man even at my ripe.years of discre tion who had never dabbled - in con stitutional law, this effort might seem too much. To me the yoke is easy. You will recollect, sir, that I put my heel on the "civil rights bill;" that I choked the "freedmen's bu reau" till it was black in the face; that it was I, sir, /, - who declared the whole kit of the "reconstruction laws' tutconstitutional, null and void 1 Didn't I; sir, tell you from the begin ning that the late un-sweetness be 'tween the two sections of this coun try was clearly unconstitutional? Didn't I tell you,. sir, that intellect ual equality and miscegenation, since the colored men were free, were sins and great national crimes, that they, too, were unconstitutional, null and void ! Didn't I tell you that The African was as far below the ourang-outang as. a Democratic Editor is below a gentlemanly sheep-thief? My dear sir, when my harp that ,has so long hung on Tara's Halls is once 'more struck, I skip like a young calf and feel good all over! In the first place you must do me the justice to recollect at all limes that I have been a part of the gener al Government for upwards of seven ty years. I carried hod to build the old Treasury building. I have chased rats out of the wigs, of Jackson and Van Buren. I was the bosom friend . of John Tyler. Floyd and Buchanan and myself have set up many a night to devise means to prevent the 'Constitution from falling into the hands of evil and designing men ! This is one rea son why I .consider the Fifteenth Amendment null and void. As long mil formed a part of the general Government I never knew such a thing as the passage of a Fif teenth Amendment. This is anoth er reason why I consider it null and _void. In fact while I was there, there never was an amendment of any kind passed; and that is another 'reason why I consiller this one that been sprung on the people as soon as / left—a bad , egg. This one wasn't submitted to a vote of the people of the United States, among other reasons because there are. no provisions in the Consti tution for passing an amendment in that way, nor was there' ever one adopted in that way. And that is another very grave reason why I con skier it unconstitutional, null and void ! Because it was . hatched and pin feathered in a nest where- a Demo cratic hen couldn't sit, that is anoth er reason why it is null and void. Because the people whom it enfran chises when asked to vote the Demo cratic ticket, will undoubtedly place the thumb on the tip of the nose, and with a despicable grin, cut the air fine with the other four fingers, that is another very potent reason why it is Mill and void. Because the fifth article of the Constitution says that "Conoress,. whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to the Constitution, to be valid to all intents and purposes as parts of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the States,"—and princi pally because This don't mean what it says, I consider the Fifteenth Amendment null and void. Because a nigger hasn't any rights that a white man is bound to respect —because I said that the South nev er could be conquered; because tho' not - conquered the war left them slightly embarrassed in body and es tate; becautie every true- Democrat sighs for the "good old days of Adam ' and of Eve;" because this war wasn't "our fititeral,!.? and we stood back and whistled "Bonnie Blue Flag" to the mourners !—I say for these reasons I solemnly and sincerely pronounce the Fifteenth Amendment (however painful the duty may be) absolutely null and void!" I The Fifteenth Amendment is clear ly illegal on the grounds that I have stated; but if this don't bring doWn the game I have a few more slugs that I will tumble into my ancient fuser for the neat shooting match. - Very TntlY and Abundantly, Yocm All Over, JOHN.ATHAN 31cFOGY, Esq..

In his dispatch of Saturday he- says : R , The latest news received from Spain .is that General Prim is preparing the public mind of Spain to sell Cuba to the Cubans. , 'The difficulty now seems to be to decide who in can buy theislaud. The volunteers are the most powerful party, as the Republican .instner.ts, as reported there, have no longer au orgamzation, and if the latter buy Cuba of Spain they will have to con quer it from the volunteers. The Prcsident.and,Cabinet are en tirely opposed to the acquisition of of Cuba by the United States, but the President said hp: . was willing that Cuba, San Domingo, and the rest of the West islands should form an in independent confederation, and this would probably - receive the moral support of the United States. AFTER THE NEGRO Vote.—There is a large negro Vote in Philadelphia, which the Democrats are Determined to secure. if it can be done for "love or money." In the fourth (Bill M'. Mullin's) ward they have espblishcd a notorious negro, who fur' twenty years has been a runner with the Moyamensing hose company, in the hotel business. The Democracy sup ply him liberally with money, and he dispenses rot-gut free to all who prom ise to rote the Democratic . .- ; .ticket. is that for the " W.Mte Man's Party?" THE Lccosts T.tx.—A Washington cerrespondent telegraphed on Satur day that the President, says he is not oppmed to the income tax, as stated, but wishes the i ' tax reduced to three per cent., instead of five, with X 3,000 exemption, and the removal of some other odious features. He would then like to have it continued for three years. He thinks that •at the .end of three , ' years the condition- of the Treasury will be such as to justify the repeal of the tax entirely. Bs. Even Wendell Phillips prais es the President for his course in re gard to e(pial,rights. In his last let-. ter to the Stanilard (which drops. the ‘•anti-slavery" aftes i this Week), Mr. Phillips says: "But for the great act of our day, the con summation-lir emancipation, Grind Wisdom) his whole duty.
