Proclamationbj the President or ihe United States, Declaring tbe Fifteenth Amendment Ratified.

WASHINGTON,

March 30.

To the Senate and House of R?preicntatives It is unusual to notify the two Honoe? of Congress, by message, _of the promulgation by proclamation of the Secretajy of State, of the ratifica

tion of a constitutional amendment. la view of the power and vast importance of the fifteenth amendment of

the Constitution, this day declared a

part of that revered instrument, I deem a departure from the usual custom

:f-

justifiable in a measure which makes at once four millions of negro voter?

who were heretofore declared, by the highest tribunal in the land, not citizens of the United States, nor eligible to become so. with the assertion that

at the time of the declaration of inde pcndence the opinion was fixed and

universal among the civilized portion of the white race, and regarded as an aziom in morals, as well as in politics, that black men had no right/ which

white men were bound to respect. It is, indeed, a measure of grander ini-

portance than any other net of the kind from the foundation of our free government to the present time. Institution? like ours, in which all power

is derived directly from the people, must .depend mainly upon their intelligence, patriotism and industry.

I call the attention, therefore, of

the newly enfranchized race to the importance of their striving in every honorable manner, to make themselves worthy of their new privilege. To

the race more favored heretofore by our laws, I would say, withhold no legal piivilege of advancement to our new citizenH. The fratncrs«of our Constitution firmly believed that a republican form of government could

not endure without intelligence and education generally diffused among tho people. The Father of his Country, in his farewell address, used this language "Promote, then, as a mattor of primary importance, the institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion a? the structure of the Government gives forco to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened." In his first message to Con

gress the same views were forcible presented, and are again urged in his ei ghtb message. I repeat that the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to tho Constitution completes the greatest civil change and constitutes the most important event that has occured since the nation came into life. The change will be beneficial in pro portion to the heed that is given to the urgent recommendations of Washington. If these recommendations were importaut then, with a population of a few millions, how much more im^portant must they be now with a population of forty millions increasing iu a rapid ratio. I would therefore call upon Congress to take all means within their constitutional power to promote and encourage popular education throughout the country, and to encourage pooplo everywhere to sec to it that all who possess and exercise political rights shall have an opportunity to acquire knowledge, which will make their share in the Government a blessing and not a danger. By such means only can tho benefits contemplated by this amendment to the Constitution bo secured. *. [Signed,] V. S. C.HANT.

(Signed,

I send you for publication an account of a most atrocious and coldblooded murder, which, I trust, has been recently successfully unearthed

after a period of some five or six years. Tho circumstances of the case so far as can be gathered from rumor, and the evidence elicited before the Grand Jury at. the last term of the

court, are these: An old mm, name unknown, was traveling on foot, car

rying a pair of saddle-bags, through this couuty, in the spring of 1804 or 1SG5, on his way to Iowa. He called late iu the evening at the house of a

Mr. Dellage. some five miles cast of! Burlington, Iowa, to get his supper and night's lodging, which was grant- I

ed. During the evening's convei ition, political questions came up for discussion. Dellage, it seems, was a

member of a "Loyal League." or some other organization, and the traveler was a Democrat, and, of course. I they could not agree. At length De-

Hage's sou damned him for a "Copperhead," and ordered him to leave. When the traveler went to pay for his

supper he exhibited a number of bank bills, paid for his supper and left, be ing directed to call on a man named Parks, living about three fourth of a mile west of DeHage's. as that would be a good place to pass the night, Parks being also a member of tho League.

The old man traveled ou, and young Dellage following but instead of the traveler calling at Parks' house, he went iuto a school house just across the road trom Parks' house. Youug Dellage, it appears, went to Parks', and a cousultatiou was held, and Parks' boys were dispatched to notify the balance of the League that there was a horse-thief in the settlement. Parks and Dellage went and found the traveler lyiug iu the school-house, and charged him with beiug a horsethief, which he stoutly, and truthfully denied. The crowd soon began to assemble at the school house, and some of the party took au old mare with a colt, that was so feeble that her owner, a member of the crowd, was obliged to take her from the plow that day, not being able to stand the work, put a bridle and saddle on her, and hitched her to a tree in the woods near by. Then some one slipped the old man's saddle-bags from him and put them on the old uiare, or, as some say an old mule uot worth two dollars. It seems, by this fime, that the crowd

or mule was hitched, and asked if he ?,n

for the animal and saddle he knew nothing, but tLe saddle-bags were his, and he knew not how they came there.

He was then accused of haviug an accomplice, and was told that they would hang him unless he told them who it was. He answered that they might hang him—that he had nothing to confess—that he had no accomplice, nor was he a horse-thief, or any other kind of thief. A rope was then placed around his neck and he was swung to the limb of a tree until he was nearly dead. He was then let down and interrogated as to where he got that auimal, and who was his ac-

complices. The poor man had nothing to confess and so he told them— told them also, that if they intended to murder him for his money, if they would let him go they might have his money in welcome, but for God's sake to spare his life, lie was hung up the third time without any confession being made, and when almost dead was let down and again interrogated. Then his hands were cut off and he left to himself, almost dead for a short time. He made an effort to crawl off! from them, bewailing his fate and lameeting most piteously from pain, when one of the desperadoes cursed him, and ordered him to stop his noise or he would knock his brains out. Suffering from excels of pain as he was, the poor man could not keep

There have been efforts made at about every term of the Circuit Court in this county since the transaction occurred a little was unraveled each term, making the case more plain, but yet not. enough to fasten positive guilt until the last, which was on the 14th of this month, when positive proof, implicating about fourteen persons, was obtained.

Warrants have becu issued, and three of the men are now in the county jail, and among them are the two prime movers in the deed—youug Dellage and Parks. Some of those engaged in the transaction are dead, some have moved away, and how many are'here yet I do not know. I understand that warrants have been issued for the apprehension of all that can be found. I am told, also, that detectives from Chicago have been put upon the track of those whose wherebouts are not known.*

It is to be hoped that all engaged in the dastardly and cold-blooded murder may be arrested and receive their just deserts.

The Joiinml says that the Committee of the House that was appointed to investigate the causes of the decline of

American commerce, and to suggest remedy, "point to the high tariff which has been imposed upon ship-building materials, such as iron, copper, wood, canvass, bolts, cordage, etc., as the cause which has swept our commerce from the face of the deep." The Journal adds:

And tho same paper pertinently iuquires, "But why should forty millions of people be taxed sixteen and a half millions to support the very few who arc engaged in the above named pursuits Can any sane, man point out a reason worth the breath that gives it utterance And the Journal might have proceeded with its inquiries still further, and asked who was responsible for the policy that precipitated such evils upon the country But upon that point it is silent. It condemns not those who, even in its view of the case, have caused the decline in American commerce and ship building and who yet adhere to the policy that will continue to foreign nations the control of the ocean carrying trade and the supremacy of the seas. Although we fully agree with the conclusions of the Journal, even to its ironical allusions of the "purity" of the President and his exemption from personal considerations in his public acts, we think it should have gone a step farther and condemned the party that is responsible for the policy it anathematizes.
