Editorial Correspondence
Vancouver. W. T. Feb. 2d. 1870.
Receiving a Hidden call from a sick bed
at a distance, I was compelled last Tuesday
morning to take the 6tage for Portland, there
being no boat at the wharf. A stage ride
is no agreeable thing to anticipate, much
less to endure tit thii season .of the year.
In the first place, the roads ore bad a mild
expression, but every body knows they are
shocking" bad. In the second place, the
mail coach is a mud wagon, the drivers'
seat in the present instance being Iho per
quisite of a "through passenger, who had
been jammed through' from Sacramento and
bad therefore pre-empted the accommoda
tions for the balance of the route. Lastly,
the mud wagon was to start at the owlish
hour of 2 a. in., eo the jouroey wna initiated
by the cheerful experiment of lying awake
II right to be up early in the morning.
The law of compensation is fortunately still
in force, and I have to recount the follow
ing favoring circumstances : Our friend
rtascom provided a bed where I had an
hour's sleep, and called me in time for a
beef steak and cup of coffee to fortify the
inner man for the voyage. The rainy sea
son had let up and the night was beautiful.
So we coursed through the silent streets of
Salem, and under Phil.Miller's skillful guid
ance, dashed boldly into the ruts and mud
holes that lay beyond. The night and its
wonderful beauty afforded a pleasure that
almost compensated for all the discomforts
of the journey. Every star was brilliant
and the starlight had a rival, we soon dis
covered, in the Northern Lights, for the Au
rora Piorealis had chosen that morning lor
odo of its most brilliant displays the most
beautiful I have witnessed in many years.
The regions of the pole were glowing with
magnetic brilliance, and an occasional pil
lar of fl.ime would flash towards the zenith.
Of tliewe there would sometimes be several,
sortie white with an occasional grow of vi
olet or red. The most beautiful sight I re
member to have seen was a third of a cen
tury ajjo, when the inhabitants of a New
England city were arroused by the fire bells
to vi ness the wonderful magnificence of
the Aurora. All the sky was aglow with
columns of vari-colored flame, and the zenith
was a bank of magnetic clouds, the whole
effect being heightened and reflected by the
newly fallen snow. We traveled along
wonderfully, plunging through the mud
holes and missing all the stumps, but the
jolts never missed. As we splashed through
French Prairie the morning became foggy,
Gradually the mist arose, and when it had
disturbed the night, distorted the Aurora,
and deprived tho starlight of its beauty, I
curled down among the straw, the mail
bags and the baggage, fastening the leather
upon its place as a shelter, and at least found
'rest and at last found sleep. It may not be
'very romantic to sleep in the straw at the
bottom of a mud wagon, but I heartily
arree with Sancbo I'anza in "blessing the
man who invented sleep."
I am writing this in ouo of the rooms of
the Hospital of the Sisters cf Charity, by
the beadside of a dying man who blesses
God that he has tho attendance of a rela
tive at this trying hour. Looking from my
window down a pleasant slope on which is
part of the town of Vancouver, with a
glimpse of the parade ground and the build
ings upon the Military Reservation, I see
tin ( !n!it ricpr nf th Vst" flowing hv.
with I he wooded shores of Oregon beyond
lo the smith ami east .Mount Hood rises
more gradually than we know of at Salem,
becanse seen from lower ground and at a
nearer distance. I have always heard that
lL'O'l showed well from here, and so it
does, magnificently, but superlatives are
wasted in describing it. From the Willam
ette river Mt. St. Helens is scarcely less im
pressive. Twenty years ago I first saw
them both, as in company with the old man
now dying by my siue. I sailed up these
rivers on the brig Kendall. We were rela
tives and had come together to try life in
Oregon: He was an old sailor, who had
trod the decks then for nearly two score
years and few men could handle u sh p bet
ter in emergency than be. Now. havinrr
completed his three score vears and ten,
and after a life of many vicissitudes, dur
ing which he has fed and clothed and as
sisted many, and wronged none. Surround
ed and attended I y friends and without n
enemy, trusting '- pod, and the Redeemer,
be is drifting w Jthe closing tides of time
to the Ocean or vJlernity.
These are the circumstances that call me
way from borne and its duties, and the
readers of the Statesman must make kindlv
allowance, from the fact that tho duties and
labors shared usually by two persona, and
leaving them no idle momenta are ncces
sarily devolved upon one,
VOL. 19.
Condition of the Amendment.
As the "infamous Fifteenth Amendment
has already received the sanction of about
seven-eighths of the people of the United
States, and is certain to become law on the
meeting of tho Nebraska Legislature, which
is called to meet on the 17th of this month,
we reproduce a statement of the various
States voting on the measure. Says the
Sacramento Union of Jan. 22d :
Ohio, Minnesota, Mississippi and Rhode
Island have all within the last ten days rat
ified the Fifteenth Amendment M;ssouri
and Kansas have also this winter corrected
the error made in each of those States at
the preceding session of tho Legislatures.
The whole number of States that have so
far ratified is twenty-six. The Legislature
of Rhode Island meets twice a year in
May and January. At the session last May
the Senate ratified, but the House adjourn
ed without action. The telegraph says the
House has ratified. The list of ratifying
States is therefore as follows :
Nevada, Louisiana, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Illinois. Michigan, "Wisconsin,
Maine. South Carolina. Pennsylvania, Mass
achusetts, Arkansas, New York, Connecti
cut, Florida. New Hampshire, Virginia,
Vermont, Alabama, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio,
Indiana, Mississippi, Minnesota and Rhode
Island.
In all twenty-six. Twenty-eight are re
quired. Here is a list of the remaiuing
States, that have either rejected the amend
ment or not acted upon it :
Delaware. Kentucky. Georgia, Tennessee.
California. Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska, New
Jersey, Oregon and Texas.
In all eleven. Two of these are required
to complete the business of ratification.
Those which can be certainly counted on
are : Iowa, Nebraska and Texas ; Georgia,
under the new reconstruction act of De
cember 22d, 18G9, is likely to organize a
radical Legislature, and in that case we
should have four, or two more than will be
needed. The Iowa Legislature met on the
second Monday in this jnonth. It has an
overwhelming Republican majoriiy, and we
expect every day to hear of, ratification by
that State. Governor Butler, of Nebraska,
will call a special session of the Legisla
ture of that State next month, and Nebras
ka will ratify. But New Y'ork has cast a
shadow upon tho action of the Legislature
of May last by rescinding its ratification,
and to remove this shadow another State
besides Iowa and Nebraska is needed. We
have it in Texas, where the Legislature
elect (soon to convene) standi 17 Republi
can Senators to 13 Democrats, with a Re
publican majority of 10 in the House. So,
without Georgia, and in spite of the shad
ow which Tammany malignity has cast
upon the ratification by the preceding Leg
islature of New Y'ork. there is a certain
prospect that by the first day of April the
Secretary of State can proclaim the Fif
teenth Amendment as a part of the Consti
tution of the United States.
Since the date of the above, Iowa has rat
ified, so has Georgia, and Nebraska and
Texas make tip a total of twenty-nine ex
clusive of New Y'ork, in which State a Leg
islature, elected by fraud, have claimed, in
defiance of their constituents, to Lave re
scinded the former action of that State.
Whether such a rescission be .legal or not
is a question of too ' little present import
ancc to be authoritatively settled.

A New TMng
A Democrat has been found who says he
was in Andersonville prison nine months,
and cherishes no ill will against any one
but Stanton. He was kept there till his
health was ruined, aud still he thinks Jeff
Davis a perfect gentleman. He saw thous
ands carried oat of the pen dead, and still
believes Wirtz to have been the most mild
mannered jailor in the world. He blames
no one but Stanton. Poor fellow, if he
should be convicted of stealing, he would
want the owner of the goods punished for
suffering the crime to go on. He is a logic
al sort of a fellow ; his sufferings, he says,
were all because Stanton was at the head of
tiie War Department. Really that is too
had. The generally accepted opinion is
that our soldiers suffered because thir
country and their flag was in danger.
But the iuventor of this story has allowed
his zeal to get the better of his judgment
His fellow laborers have been at work ever
since the war, trying to establish facts:
First that there was no such place as An
dersonville; second that Andersonville
was rather a pleasant place to spend the
winter season, and now they come to third,
Stanton wan the cause of nil the dreadful
pains ot tho boys wuo were starved to
death in prison, for their devotion to the
stars and stripes.
Farming ix Oregon. A correspondent
on the wing of Oregon writes :
"I can carry with me $4,000 m cash, a
wife and four children, and wish to buy a
farm, and follow there my present occupa
tion, tilling tue soil."
"Have yon any advice to give 7 '
Will some of our subscribers in Oregon
report : Hearth, and Home.
The only advice we have to give is this
Come right along. Wo want your sort of
people and have plenty of good safe places
for an investment of $1,000, plenty ot
healthy pleasant places for the wife and
four children. But don't think every man
you meet will tell the truth. See for your
self, don't be in a hurry to settle, but take
time to- compare the advantages of differ
ent localities. Don't look for a paradise or
you will be disappointed. But find a good
piece of land, take it tip or buy it as the
case may be and go to work. If yon do
not get rich in one year, work two or three,
or until you do. And in the mean time you
need never be poor, cold, hungry, or in
jeopardy of life or liberty. That is what
we call doing well; if you think the same,
come on.
The Times favors the nomination of Sen
ator by the Democratic Convention, lor
fear of a " corruption fund " in the next
Legislature. Can it be that Democratic
legislators are approachable by corruption
funds ! The Times must be joking when it
talks of "chicanery in tbe Legislative
caucus" of the Democratic parly.

hung the Governor in effigy in O.-tobcr, 1863,
on tho receipt of the news that the Legislature
was left without a quorum by tho resignation
of some of the members.

Recorder's Court. Yesterday forenoon
Moore, a tinner, was brought before Recorder
Thompson, ou a charge of having furnished
intoxicating liquors to J. M. Curloy, contra
ry to tho City Ordinanco "i i such case pro
vided." He plead guilty and was fined $20

was expressed concerning this dectssion yes

the special ordinance refcred to. Saloon keep

the action they did, acd it would bo hard in

It is to be hoped that all have heard of it by

Seed Time. We hear from different parts
of tho county that farmers in that section are
unusually active in sowing grain, this season
Those who have uplands are already done sow
ing wheat and are preparing for oats. In the
lowlands this fine weather is bringing nut the
plow-teams in full force, and from present in
dications the breadth of spring grain sown
will be as large in proportion as was the fall
crop.
The Catholic Sentinel. This now paper is
out. The first number reached us by mail last
evening. It is a weekly paper of about the
size and general appearance of the Advocate,
contains a great deal of reading matter, and
is intended to be "what its name purports a
sentinel or defender of our faith from outside
aggressions and inside disturbances, and to
our brethren, a mcduiin for the interchange of
ideas, having in view mutual improvement
and benefit. Long may the Sentinel be
duty.
lhe season. me climate ot uregon cer
tainly seems to be changing; we havo had two
consecutive winters of the most remarkable
mildness. Similar wiutcrs have been known
to happen in former times, but the oldest in
habitant does not recollect two such seasons
together. It is now Spring to all intents and
pnrpo'es. There will doubtless be stormy
weather, rain and bail, wind and sleet, be
tween now and Summer, but we always have
storms in Spring. Vegetation is now1 grow
ing rapidly; animated nature shows signs that
W inter is over; the sky bas been beautifully
clear, the air soft and balmy, everything is
lovely, etc.
Debt Paid. The members of the Christian
Church, of this place, have much cause for
congratulation, and their friends will all be
glad to hear that they are entirely clear fnem
the debt and mortgage on their Church build
ing. We are informed by Elder S. C, Adams
that there has been a debt of $3,000 secured
by s mortgage on the building and lot. This
amount has been raised principally by the
Church members, four of them, Messrs. Pey
ton, Stanton, Woods and Pugh, each putting
therT names down tor SoOU, others contributed
according to their ability. And yesterday the
few hundred lacking was made tip by contri
butions on the street, the mortgage wu can
celled and the society have quit paying inter
est. If there are ajiy others in like circum
stances we would advise them to go and do
likewise.
Commercial Hotel Company . J'his Compa
ny bare succeeded in effecting negotiations for
the site at the corner of Commercial and Trade
streets, Mr. Dickenson selling his lease for
SALEM. OREGON.
the sum of $900, and Mrs. Barker deeding tbe
land in fee for $5,000. . By tho terms !of the
agreement, Mr. Dickenson is. to vacate his
restaurant on Saturday next, and on Monday
following the buildings will be removed. The
Company "propose to move immediately
upon the works," that is, tho old buildings,
and commence digging for the foundation.
The Hotel is to front on Commercial one
hundred feet.Jextending back on Trade one
hundred and sixty-five feet. It is to be three
stories and a basement, and 750,000 brick al
ready made at the Penitentiary, have been
purchased for use in its construction. This
begins to look like having a Hotel building to
be proud of yet, in Salem. Hurrah I

Dr. Fisko, a boy of gome three years, died on
Sunday afternoon. The funeral is to take

Weather Item. Residents of Salem know it,
but fur the benefit of those at a distance, we
remark that last night we had a good old
fashioned rain the first wo have had for sev

Court. County Court was in session yes
terday, His Honor, J. C. Peebles, presiding.
The day being the first of the session, was do-
votcd to the technicalities of probate business.
lor a county of tho size and population of
Marion, there is a remarkably smull amount
of litigation in our courts.
Concerts. The monthly Sunday School
concerts of the various Churches of Salem
seem to be gaining great popularity. The
Congregational Church was quite full on Sun
day last, and tho exercises seemed to give
much satisfaction. We learn that at the M.
E. Church also there was a crowd, and tho
concert met with equal success. They are
held on tbo first Sunday of f&eh month.
Returns Thanl-s.Some high-toned scamp,
who probably had conscientious scruples about
footing it home, in the mud, entered the Sta
ble of the Rev. Wm. Royal, a few nights ago,
took his horse without either saddle, bridle, or
rope, and roue him off. Jsext day the pony
came back, looking tho worse lor the wear,
and 31r. Koyal says that, although he doei
not recognize any such privilege to use his an
imal, he is much obliged to tbe fellow for send
ing the pony home again.
Broim's Patent Animal Trap. Wo have an
advertisement in this issue of a newly invent
ed trap for catching rats, squirrels, etc. Sir.
Brown has left a model of his patent here on
exhibition. He has tried one made ou this
principle and feels confident that his invention
will prove invaluable to the farmers, whoso
crops are spoiled by squirrels and tho prem
ises infested by rats.
Tho Willamette Woolen Mills, wo are in
formed by Mr. G rover, and also by Mr. Hoyt,
tho Superintendent, will commence work again
early in March, unless some unforeseen deten
tion occurs. There is wool enough on hand,
and engaged, to keep the mills employed un
til tho spring clip reaches market. The cause
of the stoppage has been a matter of specula
tion, but we learn that the sole reason has been
that while all tho new goods and new styles
have had an immediate and ready sale, a largo
amount of oluVstyles, goods in many instan
ces three to five yoars old, had accumulated
at this place, Portland and San Francisco. So
it has been deemed expedient to work off these
goods at reduced prices, and let the manufac
ture ccaso in the mean time. This interval
has been improved to thebest advantage Mr,
Hoyt, the excellent Superintendent, has made
the tour of Eastern mills under favorablo cir
cumstances that won him easy admittance to
all, and an understanding of the newest styles
and latest improvements in machinery. He
has returned fully satisfied that wo can com
pete with Eastern mills in this market, and
that, too, by tho use of white labor. The new
machinery, needed, ho has purchased, and it
is now on the way by the Isthmus and will
soon nrrive. We may then expect that when
the mill starts again it will be under favorable
circumstances, and to continue a career to bo
as prosperous for tho proprietors and as ad
rantageons to our city and State as hag been
tho caso in tho past.
Letter from Independence-
Independence, Feb. 2, 1870.
Ed. Statesman : In tho Polk county
Times, of Jan. 22d, No. C gives his reasons
for being a Demoerat. If you will allow
me the use of your columns. I will give you
the true reason why I am a Democrat
Sometime after the commencement of the
war, I thought it would be more popular
and profitable to belong to the Union par
ty. I accordingly left the Democratic par
ty and gave them fits in general, through
the newspapers, speeches, fcc. But when I
came before tho Convention in tbe Union
party, they refused to nominate me for any
office, and of course I indignantly left them,
and went back to my old party, to which
I now belong, and who will have to give
me some office soon, or else I shall leave
them again and write my letters to the
Statksmax as of yore. A Democrat.
It will be remembered by those who have
read Brick Pomeroy's paper, that he is in
the habit of boasting of having at one time
worked by the side ol a negro compositor.
Brick described the circumstance with such
precision, giving names and dates so pat,
that it looked like one of the pictures
drawn from his fertile imagination. But
we fiud the following lrotn the other party
which confirms the story :
Tau-madue. Ohio, January 1st.
To tho editor of the Ixerald: In a lata
issue of your paper you say that Brick
Pomeroy has said that he once worked at
a case alongside of a negro printer, and
says he is proud of the fact. Y'ou then say,
"Now let us hear from the darkey."
Well, sir, 1 am the very darkey whom
Brick worked alongside of, and if he ia
proud of it I must say that I am not ; on
the contrary, I am ashamed of it. Brick
was good enough in his way ; but if he
could not have that, even tbe devil was no
match for bim. Please remind Brick that
he owes me $2 70, borrowed money at that ;
and if he is proud of any one thing, perhaps
he may yet be proud to owe no negro. Who
knows 7 It be ever gets in that frame of
mood, be will find me at Tallmadge, Summit
county, Ohio. I am now rather crippled
up, but my Heavenly Father knows that I
would starve before 1 would again work at
a -case alongside of Brick Pomeroy. Very

We are all poor critters, says Deacon Be

only attributable to hurry and fatigue on
the night before, in one of which we put

the other the vice President got out of
place, bnt the idea intended to be conveyed
was correct in either case.

GENERAL NEWS.
Iamhill Cooxtt. The Blade says we
were present at tbe Bachelors Sociable, at
Lafayette, last Friday evening, It was de
cidedly the best affair of the season. The
amusements of tho evening were varied
and interesting. Music, vocal and instru
mental, and short speeches were the order
of exercise belore supper, and after sup
per the more seriously inclined having re
tired, dancing was introduced which was
protracted until "timo to go home." A
cake presented to the Brotherhood by the

Tue Canal akolxd tub Falls of tub
Willamettk. Last summer tho People's
Transportation Company worked energeti
cally and successfully in cutting away the
rock and deepening the channel of the ca
nal leading into the basin at this place.
During the Bame timo tbe Company built a
good substantial stone wall from 8 to 12
feet high on the east or land Bide of the ca
nal for a distance of twelve hundred feet.
The basin extends from some four hundred
feet below tbe falls to Canemah, a distance
of some two thousand five hundred feet
All this portion of the proposed canal is
now built and in such good condition that
it will not require a lock. A few days
since we saw a map of this canal, drawn
by Mr. lielden, civil engineer, who surveyed
it for the Company. From it we learn that
there is yet eight hundred feet of tbe canal
to build, and that in this eight hundred
feet there will be three locks. We are also
informed by a prominent member and offi
cer of tbe Company, that it is tbe intention
of the Company to push forward this enter
prise with all possible dispatch, and have
the whole canal completed within two years
from this time. We sincerely hope that
this accommodating and deserving Compa-
may realize its most sanguine expectations

Mrs. Smith's Speech.
From tbe Bulletin's report of tho woman
suffrage speeches in Dashaway Hall, we
take tbe following:
Mrs. Smith, of Point Reyes, arose next
and proceeded in a very humorous way to
demolish Mr. English. Hers was the most
telling speech on the evening. Her man
ner was quiet, but her sarcasm on some of
the speakers nipped like frost. She said
she bad not always been a Smith. She
knew before she came to this city or heard
Mr. English speak, that there is considera
ble Government land in tbe State which
might be preempted at $1 25. If she was
not a Smith and was a cit Zen, she could
and would preempt some of that land.
Soon after she became a Smith she fonnd
that there was another Smith whom she was
bound to help. She knew several ladies at
Point Reyes who can make butter and milk
cows. She might encourage the speaker
(Mr. English) by further assuring him that
most of them knew how to raise calves.
She bad noticed no particular change in tbe
maternal conduct or achievement of her
hens since Miss Dickinson spoke in this city.
The other Smith was not quite as ambitious
as she is, and she thought they might get
along a little be'.ler if she eould, in a quiet
way, obtain from the law a part of those
rights or urivileces which she gave up, or
were takpn from her, when she became
Smith. She wrote to a very wise lawyer on
the subject, and the response which he gave
from the statute books settled her back in I
her shoes, and made her feel fcr a short i
time like leaning on the other Smith. Tbe
lawyer told her that all her earnings would
be her husband's, and perfectly at his dis
posal ; but what made her feel worse, as if j
a shower bath had been given her, was tbe
closing statement : " In all things you are
his slave." She never bad been and never
will be slave to any living man or woman.
She had come to this city and attended
these meetings to be convinced on the sub
ject of woman's suffrage ; had attended four,
and is not more convinced now than at first.
Her remarks were received with applause,
and after the adjournment, many congratu
lated her on the success of her efforts.
Cost of Various Goverxmexts. Where

through official thieving, bribery and cor
ruption, it w conceded that our Republican
lortn of Government is the cheapest in the

tional debt would soon fade away, and with
it taxation would almost entirely disappear.

Mormoxs Rami-axt. Tho contemplated
legislation by Congress with reference to
the Territory ot Utah has stirred the rage
of Brigham Young and bis devotees to the
boiling point. A telegram from Ogden
says : The Salt Lake Xeics. Urigham's
church organ, publishes what U known as
the Culloin Bill, and denounces the author
as follows : " There is one resolve, however,
that we have beard expressed which we
trust will never be forgotten. No mob,
sanctioned by law or otherwise, shall ever
enjoy undisputed the fruits of our toil. We
would rather see this land converted into a
wilderness and the labors of twenty yeara
swept away in a few hours than that one ot
our enemies shall find that reward for bis
villainy.' Brigham 'a recent speech on the
bill was the most vituperative ever deliv
ered by him, and the excitement in Salt
Lake City is at boiling heat. St. Jo. Herald.
Sam Braxxax is Hot Water Again-. At
Calistoga, January 15tb. while Mr. lirannan
was superintending nn experiment at the
hot spring bath, lor the purpose of increas
ing the volume of water in the new swim
ming bath about to be erected, a column of
steam burst out, succeeded by a column of
hot water, which compelled a hasty retreat.
The water spirted into tbe air 15 or 30 feet,
making a noise which can be beard before
entering the building, the interior of which
is enveloped in steam. A large crowd hast
ened to witness the remarkable phen
omenon. Methodists is Englixd. The numerical
state of Methodism in England, as set forth
in tbe report of tbe conferences, is as fol
lows : The Methodist Reform Union num
bers 8,659 members decrease, 764 ; the
MethodiBt New Connection, 33,195 de
crease. 565 ; Bible Christiana, 26,221 mem
bers decrease, 106; tbe Methodist Free
Churches number 69,092 members decrease
149; Primitive Methodists. 161,228 de
crease, 1,141 ; Wesleyan Methoyists, 349,-
529 members increase. 3,146.
A Comparison. la England the regular
charge for an ordinary letter is two cents ;
in tbe United States, three cents. In Eng
land last year tbe Postoffice Department
cleared 23,000,000 ; in this country it ran
behind over $1,000,000. The mam cause
of the difference is that here we have a
franking corps of 33,000, who weigh down
our mails with thousands of tons of matter,
for which the public is taxed. Moral
Abolish the franking privilege and spare
the public.
Libel Surra. Harper shows figures to
prove mat in nrty libel suits instituted
against newspapers in the East, during the
last tea years, tne gross amount of money
collected is only $3,000. Parties who have
sued newspapers on the Pacific Coast have
done a little better than that, owing to ob-
tuseness or prejuuice oa tue part ot jurors.
An urchin of seven years went into a
barber shop in Kacine, Wisconsin, and or
dered tbe barber to cut his hair as close as
shears could do it. He was aakad if his
mother ordered it that way. "No,''said he,

we've got a school ma'am that pulls hair."
Time isn't money I exclaimed an irate

I do know that you spend a darn eight more
time than money here.
MM.
NO. 31.
Ohio New York Tennessee.
It appears the ratification of lhe Fifteenth
Amendment by Ohio bas caused-inquiry in
some quarters as to the right of ono Legis
lature to ratify after a preceding one has
rejected. The Sacramento Union argued
Ibis point at some length some several
weeks ago, arriving at the conclusion that,
so long as the proposition to amend is bo
fore the country, any State may act upon it
to ratify ; because public opinion may
change from year to year, and because one
legislative body cannot bind its successors,
or pass an irrepealable law or resolution.
Whether, pending tbe the action of all the
States, one which has ratified may, by a
subsequent Legislature, rescind that ratifi
tion, presents qnite another question. In
this case it is no longer a matter between
one Legislature and another, as in tbe case
of Ohio, but between tho rescinding one
aud the United States. Congress submitted
the proposition iu due and proper form.
The New York Legislature, May, 1869, rat
ified it, there having been a very full vote
of the State when that body was elected.
The amendment went, duly certified by the
Secretary of Stale of New York, to the
Secretary of State of the United States, in
whose office it is now on rile. Should the
Secretary cancel the ratification upon the
receipt of the rescinding resolution by the
Legislature of January, 1870 ? Should he
do o of bU own motion, ox wait upon com
pulsion? Who shall compel him? Theoo
are the questions to be answered. The
compelling power is evidently in the Su
preme Court, if anvwhere. If the Secre
tary uses his own discretion he will natu
rally and properly disregard tbe rescinding
resolution, because it manifestly does not
represent the will of the majority of the
people of New Y'ork as nearly by 200.000
votes as the ratifying resolution of last May
did. For these reasons we don't believe
the recission js valid, or of any effect.
Whether it would be valid if this Legisla
ture more nearly represented the will of .
the people of New Y'ork than the preced
ing one is not in the controversy.
The reported attitude of Tennessee on
the Fourteenth Amendment differs wholly
from that of both Ohio and New Y'ork on
the Fifteenth. The late Tennessee Legisla
ture rejected the Fitteenth Amendment,
which was its right and privilege. But it
did not stop at that It called a Consti
tutional Convention, the reputed purpose
of which is to disfranchise the blacks and
rescind the former ratification of the Four
teenth Amendment This is a revolutiona
ry programme, which, as might be expec
ted, the radicals ef that State threaten to
checkmate by an appeal to Congress to put
e State Government under the military
rule. No sound constitutional lawyer will
pretend, after three-fourths of the States
have ratified an amendment, and the same
has been promulgated by the Federal au
thorities as a part cf the Constitution, that
a subquent State Legislature or Convention
can legally withdraw its ratification. The
compact has been completed on both sides,
and there are but two ways to get rid of
it : First, a subsequent Congress may pro
pose an amendment abrogating it, and three
fourths of the L'tates agreeing, it is abroga
ted ; second, by revolution. Tonnessee
simply stands herself on the latter, if tbe
purposes of her Convention are correctly
su(mised. If so, it is the duty of Congress
to compel obedience and respect tbe t our
teenth Amendment throughout the State of
Tennessee, and if necessary by military
force.
The New Aumy Bill. We learn from
late Washington correspondence of the
Sacramento Union that the now Army bill,
proposed at the War Department, provides
that all regiments of cavalry, artillery and
infantry shall have the same number of of
ficers. The. Secretary of f War is author
ized to assemble a board of, three general
officers to examine the qualifications and
fitness of all officers who may be numeri
cally in excess of the organization, or wait
ing orders and recommended for transler
and appointment to office. Those who are
most fit are to be submitted to the Presi
dent and to be selected with the advice of
the Senate.. Those who are not recom
mended will cease to be officers. The pres
ent regulation that seven per cent, of the
officers ore t bo retired is to be repealed,
and hereafter the number shall be left to
the selection of the President, provided the
whole number Bhall not exceed two hun
dred and fifty. General Logan's bill in the
House adopts these provisions, adding that
all officers mustered out shall be entitled to
one year's pay and allowances. Tbe offices
of General and Lieutenat General shall
continue only as long as vacancies may oc
cur. Brevet rank is abolished, and officers
as to title are confined to their grade. The
regular pay is fixed as follows : General,
S 15.000 ; Major General, $7,000 ; Brigadier
General, $5,000 ; Colonel, $3.500 ; Lieut.
Colonel and Major, $2,500 ; Captain, mount
ed, $2',000; Captain, not mounted, $1,800;
Adjutant. $1,800 ; Regimental Quarter
master, $1,800 : First Lieutenant, mounted,
$1,000 : Second Lieutenant, mounted, $1,
500 ; Lieutenant, not mounted, $1,400 ;
Chaplain, $1,200 ; pay of Aid-de-Camp to
Major General, $200 ; pay of Aid-de Camp
to Brigadier General, $150, and Acting
Commissary, $100 per annum in addition to
pay of rank. This schedule is to be in full
of all commutations and allowances.
Klamatu Agexcy. The dispatches men
tion that Capt. O. C. Knapp is relieved
from duty as Indian Agent. This is un
doubtedly tho officer now in charge of
Klamath Reservation, acting as Indian
Agent, a position which we have reason to
believe he Las not filled very satisfactorily.
The Indians on that reservation have great
respect for the former sub-agent, Lindsey
Applegato. Esq., and it is to be hoped that,
in answer to their wishes and also in recog
nition of his former services, Mr. Apple
gate will be reinstated. Klamath will, no
donbt, be raised to a full agency, as there
is no Indian reservation in this Stato more
important.

Uuara.
The expenses of tho California Legisla
ture are a trifle over $4,000 a day, besides
the hundreds of thousands made oa their
little bills." If Oregon is "wide awake,"
she will hardly ape such a specimen of Dem
ocracy. Not any "follow California" in
ours, Mr. Guard. That's a little too strong-
Makixq it Pat. Major Jack Stralman,
so well known as a newsman, has been in
dicted for libel, but nothing daunted he
proposes to make a little spec of the job.
He will have the trial reported in full and
distribute 20,000 extra copies, which ho
says will contain a racy expose of- a great
many rascally tricks, from 1850 down to
the present time. If St rat man knows any
thing well, it is how to advertise.
A Dkskrted Suip. The S. F. C7trowicfe of

78 days from Newcastle, reports that she
sailed Nov. 7th. and had fine weather all
tho passage. On December 27th, in lat.
9.44 N.. long. 157.58 W., they saw tbe hull
of a vessel of about 700 tons floating in tbe
Pacific. Her stem and stern posts were all
that were above the water, and she looked
as if she had been burnt some time pre
vious. Nothing was discovered to shew
what she wag, or the fate of the crew and
ibose oa board.
