AFRAID TO SUBMIT IT TO THE
PEOPLE.
The Radicals of the Leg,islattire have put
themselves upon the record in - such a man-.
ner as will surely kindle the wrath of a
betrayed and outraged people: Senator Wal
lace offered a series of resolutions proposing
to submit The XVth Amendment' to a vote of
the people at the election in next October,
but this fair, democratic and liberal proposi
tiOn ties defeated by a strict party vote,
everyiDemocratic Senator voting for it, and
e ce p g S. , th,tnr 'Wing •Igainiq it. In or
der tlvit the-public may see the fairness of
Mr. Wallace's plan of disposing of this XVth
Amendment, we hire hisert the resolutions
offered by thOgentleman
"WHEREAS, The Congress.of the United
States has 'proposed an amendment to the
Constitution thereof, to be kno.,wn as Article
NV., which clianges the rule or suffrage now
existing in ibis CoMmonwealth, and substi
tutes therofor another and a ,ditlerent rule,
which said amendment is' now submitted to
the Legislatures of the different States for
ratification; and.
WitEnEAs, "All power is inherent in the
people," and it is right that they should have-
an opportunity to vote for or against the rat
ification of the said 'amendment and to de

the question of the ratiticatibn ot , the said
amendment to the Constitntion of the United

the action of the people at the polls thereon.
, Now, then, let the thet, that :t proposition
,so titir:so honest, so democratic, was voted
,down by the unanimous voice of the Radical
Senators, be made known front one cud .of
the State to the other.. Let every freeman
knew that the Democratic Senators strove to
submit the proposed suffrage amendment to
a vote of Atli: people, but that the Radical
Senators defeated the proposition to submit
and insisted upon taking ..odap j:/figinenr,witli.
out regard to the IS ishe,of the people. 'Let
thispe/_ be the i.:sue between the two parties.
Let the Democratic press with one voice pro
claim it, and let the people hurt from place
and power tile miserable ~.titiffs who have
betrayed them.
LOOK ON THIS PICTURE..THEN ON
El=
Gen. Grant, in his Inaugural Address,
Puny midorstl.s the proposed negro suffrage
amendment to the Constitution, and' urges
its adoption r. 4 a part of that instrument.
This amendment reads as follows:
"IA if re.volcal, dc. , tiro-thirthf of both Ilnurtes
concurring, That the following amendment to
the Constitution of the United States be sub
mitted to the Legislatures of the several
States, and when ratillekl by three fourths
thereof, it shall be a part of said Constitu
tion :
"ARTICLE lk The right of the citizens of
the United States to vote shall' not be denied
or abridged by the United States, or by any
;:bgt; on account of race, color or previous
condition of qtrvitude.
"SE:crioN 2. The Congress shall have
,power to. enforce this article by appropriate
legislation."
Now, scc how tbiv prop?sition corres
ponds with the platform on which Gen.
Grant procured the suffrages of the people.
The second resolution of the Chicago Um
vention, which the General unequivocally
endorsed in his letter of aeotptance, reads:
"The guaranty by Congress of equal suf
frage to :ill loyal men of the South, was de
manded by every consideration of safety, of
gratitude, and of justice, and must be main
tained 'Mae the question of suffrage at/

I' - hat candid ruse will deny that if the
Republicans had declared their purpose to
deprive :the "loyal States"-of- the privilege
of regulating the question of suffrage * for
themselves they would have beta over
whelnihrgly defeated ?
Was ever pledge more fairlyrnade, or more
wickedly broken?
•
qitAN:r says in hie Inaugural, that lw '3 hall
hare It4 i polic:. "to enforce against the will of
the people." In the same Inaugural he urges
the adoption of the XVth Constitutional
Anamiltuent, which everylxxly knows would
be voted down in morn than half of the
States if the liadicAl party loaders dared sub
mit it to the "will 40 the people."

A Portrait of GrailVs
elly Nearest Friend, by
Donn.
In May of last y car a difficulty sprnug up
between Messrs. Elihu B. Washburne,
(Grant's right hand man) and Ignatius Don
nelly, of Minnesota, both of them being, Rad
ical members of Congress, A furious war of
words en.:ned between them on the floor ot
the House, which terminated in a speech by
Donnelly, which will undoubtedly descend
into literature as the "bright. particular"
gem of American oratory., A short extract
will give the reader a general idea of the
whOle. Said Donnelly :
"Has he (Washburne) not lived in the same
town with General Oran?, and should he riot,
therefore, perforce, be the Warwick, the
ktrig Maker—the power behind the throne?
I never could account for that singular fart
reat he lived iu the same town with General
rant, except on,that great principle of corn
nsittion which runs through the created
world ; the town of Galena having for• so
many years endtired the gentleman—God
~ Almighty felt that nothing less titan Ulysses
'S. Grant_ should balance the account.
[Laughter] - Josh Billings, talking of com
pensation, saygi '"lt is a question whether
'll)e:satisfaction ot scratching will not pay a
man for the punishment of having the itch."
I leave the gentleman's constituents to apply
the parable. I bow in profound admiration
before the genius of Ulysses S. Grant. I re
ceignize him as the greatest, broadest, wisest
intellect of this generation. I cannot think
that he will degenerate into becoming a pup
pet to be;played by wires held in the hands
of the gentleman from Illinois, or that he
wildegenerate into a • kind of hand organ, to
be oted around on the back oCethe gentle
mat front Illinois, while his whole family
sit (in the; top of the machine grinding and
catching pennies like- a. group of monkies
[general and continuous laughter], I would
say to Ulysses S. Grant, if it was in my
power to whisper anything in his ear, to take
counsel by that profoOd remark of Anal:
nadab Sleek, when he said, "You all expect
to get into Heaven by holding to my coat
tail; but I will fool you all; I'll weara mon
key jacket." [Laughter] General Grant
has wit to wear a monkey jacket. We had
General Grant up in Minnesota, and, of
course, the distinguished gentleman from
Illinois was with him, and when General
Grant was serenaded, the gentleman from
Illinois stuck hia:head but -of the window
and thanked the crowd, and when they rode
in an open-bat ouche together, and the crowd
hurrahed. the gentleman from Illinois laid
his hand upon his heart; and bowed his pro
-
found acknowledgments.
"The intellect of the gentleman from Illi
nois is like some of those establishments that
we see in Pennsylvania ,Avenue, where the
whole stock in trade .of the merchant is
spread out in the frontvindow, and above it
a label : "Anythingin this window for one
dollar." Laughter.] He is the Cheap John
of legislation, and that he should attempt to
.rule and to sway General Grant is not con
sistent 'With probabilities. Lord Dundreary
was once asked why it was that a dog wags
his tail. "Why," said his lordship, "the rea
son is because the dog is greater that the
tail." "If it were Otherwise,' said the pro
found speaker,"the tail would wag the dog."
[Laughter ; Here was an instance, Mr.
-speaker. where the smallest kind of a rat
terrier's tail attempts to wag a New Fbund
land dog.
"If there be in our midst one low, sordid,
vulgar soul, one barren, mediocre intelli
gence,• one heart that is callous to every
kindly sentitnen.t, and to .every generous
emotion, one ,tongue leprous with slander,
one mouth which is like unto a den of'wild
beasts, giving forth deadly bdors; if there be
here one character which, while blotched
and spotted, yet raves and rants and black
guards like a prostitute ; it' there be here one
bold, bad, empty, bellowing demagogue, it is
the 'gentleman from Illinois. '
This iS the man whom Grant called to
fill the place once occupied by John Mar
shall, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Lewis
.Cass, Wm. L..3larcy,und Edward Everett.
THE GHE4i ,r l AMERICAN (LIFT EN
BY 1" MACK."
Gen. Grant's Cabinet is more of a gift en
terprise than lat first Supposed. I have al
ready stated that Stcwart's appointment
looked very Much like the 7) , id pre qfP) for
,the house and lot recently occupied by Grant
in this city, and that Borie!sSaeretaryship of
the Navy WaSoft receipt in full fur the Phila
delphia mansion of the new President. But
I was utterly at a loss to discover wherewith
al 31r. Attorney General Hoitr had paved his
way to the-Presidential affection;. The mys
tery is solved by the a , eertainuaeut that Mr.
hoar gave Grant a tine library a year or two
ago; which, however, judging from the
knowledge of lawn displayed by "the great
captain of the age," on the second day of his
Administration, doesnot appear to have in
cluded a history of -the initial period of the
United States Government. So here we have
the gift enterprise feature of Grant's Cabinet
complete. Applicants for office under the
new Administration museiake ncitice that-the
safest way to approach the new 2tdeniuistra-
Bon is through aahoust. and lof, a /a Stewart
anti Boric. Hoar got in through the cheap
medium of a library., but it is safe to say that
there is nothing more to be disposed of at
that low rate.
The books of the Great Aine;ican Gift"
enterprise arc still open at the White House.
The ardor of tlioie disposed to invest has,
been a little dampened by the failure of - 31r.
Stewart to get his prize afterp i aying his mon
ey. However, 1 ant not so sure of its being
a failure after all. Men of Stewart's good
business habits are not easily swindled out of
$lOO,OOO worth, and there is talk, as I write,
of a compromise; which will yet secure the
big dry goods man the Treasury Department.
Entries for minor prizes will then he in order.
'A New YOrk friend,Who has been supplying
the new President with cigars for a year or
two, is spoken of for the Consul Generalship
to Havana ; 'the man who gave him the big
ox—weighing I don't know how many thou
sand pounds, and now on exhibition in this
city—is to be Commissioner Of, Agriculture.
The British 31ission is to be tendered to Bon
ner, if the latter will donate Dexter to Ulys
ses. S. N. Pike is to have the refusal of the
best of the sepond,clas , : missions if he will
keep the White House supplied with his
choice Magnolia for four years, but he doestit
like the offer. He has made a close calcula
tion, and thinks it Would be a bad bargain on
his part. Drake, of plantation bitters celeb
rity, can be Conkil to Yeddo, if he will keep
the Presidential stomach' toned with S. T.
1860 X. during his residence in the Orient.
And the first choice of the East Indies is
open to the.highest bidder in ginger and all
spice. Under the circumstances there is no
go.d reason why any Man with a few thou
sand dollars to spare may not serve his coun
try at Ifome or abroa as his inclination
prompts.
DEATH OP JAMES OUTHHIE.
• James Guthrie, one of the most emi
nent Democratic statesmen in the country',
'died at his home, iikLouisville, Ky., on Sec
urday morning, at tl advanced age of sev
enty-six rears. He tags a lawyer by profes
sion, and was burn and always liv'ed in the
State where he died. In lif33, alter serving
in various official capacities, he wasappoint
cd Secretary or the Treasury in President
Pierce's Cabinet, in which position he won a
reputation that placed him in the front rank
of our public men. Afterwards, be served
his State six years in the United Slates Sen
ate, nod would have been re-elected but that
his failing health apprised him of the neces
sity for maintaining a quiet life. His loss will
be regretted by all who knew him.
THE negro Legislature of Liana re

tinctions on ;tebount of color, in that State, .

allowing the use of his name as a candidate '
for President against Grant. In the same
order exiling Hancock,Sheridan is returned
to command in Louisiana,where he was tried
and found wanting in all the requisites neces
sary to the adjustment of civil affairs. When
Gen. Taylor was elected President, he found
a son of Gen. Cass, his opponent for Presi
dent, in the position of Minister, to Rome.
II though he removed all other envoys abroad,
Gen. Taylor, from the most honorable and
high-minded motives,refused to interfere with
Major Cass, and he remained at Home during
the entire administration. • Gen. Grant is
incapable of such noble and generous senti
ments. In view of the relations which pro
vailod between them; it might be inferred
that a man of delicacy of,sentintent, afraid
that a wrong construction would be placed
upon his action, would avoid anything which
would look us if, as President, • he was tilit
ing out his personal quarrels,

- The descriptin which Edmund Burke
gave of the Cabinet formed - by the English
Lord Chatham, about the time of our revo

GOOD PRINTING INK.--A very important ,
requisite to the production of a well printed
newspaper is a suitable ink. In printing the

we have had to contend With a - great many
diffieulties in obtaining ink that would give

made expressly for the Intelligencer, by C:
E. Robinson, corner of Gray's Ferry Road
and Thirty-third street, Philadelphia, which
comes nearer the'tharA than auy other we
have yet met .with. That this opinion is
shared by other publishers is shown by the
following extracts : •
PRINTERs' INE.—A Good ...ert i rle.—The ink
with which this issue of the Republican

Ink Works of C. E. Robinson. It it clean,
flows freely, and is of good color. Our

comparing it with ink front other tuanufac

One of our cotemporaries also recommends
it as follows :
FINE PRINTING INE.—We have i for some
time been using the news ink manufactured

had in our office for ten years. It is not only
a very excellent article of ink, but it is fur
