the Committee on Finance, made rr
terday an important speech in fnr of
hi bill for the tncrrase or the roiumc
of the grrenbick currency, and fnr th
withdrawal or thrre per cent, ccrlifi
rates and the isne of coin note. He
showed the crrat inequality between
the banking facilities nnn rnjnyrd by
the Esstern and the Western Stairs.
The Western and Southern States arc

business interest imperatively demand

a lack of it. The original ili-tnbntion,

SCTTKACE.
The following letter will appear in
the Philadelphia Vw to-day:
"WasHrxcTox. D.
January lC,
1870. f
The ratificstion of the Fifteenth
Amendment is at last conceded by the
Democrats, and we look for tbe procla
mation of tho fact as sonn a Texas
and Mississippi are restored. Virginia
will be readmitted befdre the eed of
the week, and I hope that the'vote ol
the lower House ol the Ohio C?sila J
tare, concurring with the Senate ol
that State, will be telegraphed to-mor-tow
afternoon. Thi, with tbc certain
rote of Iowa, (Legislature now in ses
sion, and largely Republican,) and the
equally certain vote of Nebraska, (Le
gislature to meet in February.) will
give ns twenty-eight vote without
New York, Texas, or Georgia; and
twcnty-i"ht is the constitutional three.
fourths. It is now sale to infer that at
least twenty nine States will ratify, ex
clusive of Indiana, which some of the
Democrats insist has not legally acted.
or of New York, which ha exercised
the right, so strongly denied by the
ablest jurists, of withdrawing her sanc
tion. Against these just recognition of the
imperative and logic-il obligations im
posed by the overthrow of slavery, the
Democratic leaders hate sternly ar-
rayed thenvelvrs. A in Emanripatinn.
thry have conceded nothing to Liberty.
Tliry have fought every inch of the
ground on the Mile of aristocracy.
When the proslavcry chiels threw
down their arm, and accepted the
judgment they had invited, the Demo
cratic cnicis u inc .onn rcizcu ineir
abandoned weapons and renewed the
conflict. As in war, to in pace, the
stiirit of tcbellion is constantly kept
alive tit the sympttby or the .Northern
Democrat. No lesson teache, no ad
monition warns them. They rush npon
their fate with a blind infatuation that
could not ho tliIlcd by tho arbitra
tion of the sword. TIict seem toicver
to be seeking, not for new world to
conquer, bat for new fields to loc.
And not content with driving the
South into defeat in battle, they feree
their party, North and Sonth, into a
scries ol disasters in the political strug
gle. t title all the world wonder, ap
plauds, and copies the Repnhlican ex
ample ol America, the Democrats ol
the United Stales seem to boist in mak
ing lhcmclvc the exception to the
rule. Loing the confidenc ol the loyal
whites by their aid and comfort to the
rebellion, they have rounded th record
of their siame by losing the respect ol
the liberated black, whoe physical
and whose mental and political ser-i
tndethey still hanghtityand consilient
ly advocate and demand.
The Filteenth Amendment change
the whole policy or the uovrrnmrnt.
It gives a new reading to the Constitu
tion. Under the oll construction our
laws were made to enslave the freeman
and to hnnt the slave. Our cunrtj.ntir
Legila;urrs, onr pre, even onTpiil
pit, wcrr alt so many jmlicr agents to
help the dealer in human beings to re
cover his flying chattels. Bnt now,
thank God, we have reached a belter
and a holier slat cminhip. Our laws,
deriving light, life, ami force from a
changed and purified Contitutinn, are
framed not t oppress but to np'ift the
poor and the frirndlr. They are en
acted to pro'ect right, not to perpetu
ate wrongs. Thry Invoke the high
powers ol the Stttr, the press and the
rhnrchto secure the promised blessing
ot free government to all mtn. And
now, instead of outraging the peace and
dignity ol society by armed combina
tion to cnloree abhorrent statutes, nn
der which to tear the mother from her
children, anil the children from- the
mother, the law, clothed in the awful
thunders of a perfectly repotilican Con
stitution, will aert its authority in
every State, county, and township ol
the "llepul.Iie, to maintain the tight
that come from God alone, and can
neither bo weakened nor withheld by
man.

How Qcefx Vktosi.v Looks. A
correspondent ef the Cincinnati Gauttc
furnishes the fallowing results ot an
inspection ef the Britih Queen:
Qaeen Victoria is shoit and stout
so ttont indeed, that tat would, per
haps, be a more eorteet term. Her
facr is IhII, rtwml, very large and heavy ;
mouth large, ami h th'iH, but n tosher

rather nremiiient. bl symmetrical in
shape, and teimifnling sharply; head
of medium swe. lmt looking some what
disproportionate to her large fice. mora
nnticcantr tor lirratlin at the tiae man
height, awl Bat or level m top, fore
head straight ami very finely developed,
eye. I think, bine; expression nnas
siiming, kind, and tmH ly. Her hair
is quite gray therefore I mlrr, all her
own. She looked te me from fifty five
to sixty, thsHigh her actual age is fifty.
Her contperte) ha the brightest hue,
indicative of mneh drmter-wine drink
ing, which is said to be very regular
with her, and seme Tnaiieien people,
say she dWt restrict herself to tho
milder stimtilaitis.
A Max .Ma brie hi SraruoTnEU.
Some day .sjfo the emmiHtity in tho
vicinity of Carter' Station wa consid
erably cxre"el over the announce
ment that a Mr.Lymt, wb lived in the
neighborhood, had married hi mother.
It seems that Lron's father had been
twice married, ami the children by tho
first wife continued to live in the fami
ly after tm second marriage, ITn. the
father, died le.virjf hi second wife n
widow, ami Lyon, the son, married his
fithcr's widow. The clerk issued tho
license without a knowledge of tho
lacts, ami tbe mbmtcr requested to
solemnire the marhige declined ; a mag'

crossed over to Slony Creek, wheio
they were unknown, aitd wore married.
