THE EAGLE fcxr— — — ~ OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY. DECATUR, INDUS “'fRIOAY, APRIL, a, 1869. Morton’s Joint Resolution. The coolest piece of impudence that we have heard of lately is Senator Morton’s joint resolution introduced in the Senate, providing that a bare majority of the General Assembly of any State shall be sufficient to ratify any constitutional amendment proposed by Congress. It is intended to cover the contingency in Indiana, and override the Constitution of our State and the wishes of a decided majority of our people. The Radical party have long since ceased to respect the wishes of the people. Their legislation is simply for party purposes, and this proposition of Senator Morton's, made in the face of the clauses in the State and National platforms of the Radical party on the question of negro suffrage, plainly indicates that the wishes of the people will not be respected where it comes in conflict with any measure the leaders of the party deem necessary to strengthen and increase the power of radicalism. Honest men should beware of a party that unscrupulously usurps power to perpetuate party rule, in the face of the most solemn pledges; and they should beware of the integrity of individual members of the party who by their , votes, through underhanded measures, set aside their solemn word of honor and the pledges made j before the world of a great party, , to accomplish a me«o“«: of more than doubtftil propriety, simply , because partiznn ends demand it, that it may add to the strength of nartv. However desirable its ac-! 1 - I ( complishment, such treacherv, . *ll sooner or later, will bo repudiated j by the people. — i Senator Sprague’s Speech, i 1 In a debate in the Senate last i week on the civil tenure act, Sen-; 1 ator Sprague spoke of the qualifi-, ’ cations of the Senate in exercising i the appointing power, and discuss- ’ ed the probabilities that it would ! exercise the power honestly, in ' which he used tin following lan- ' gunge: j. ‘•I. for one, in looking back up- .1 on the past history of this coun- 1 ) try,—and the people, whatever i philosophers may say, will come to the same conclusion, —have 1 come to beliete that your war has i t not been won for the liberties of 1 any class of people; your war > that you have just partially concluded has had no high virtuous j principle at the bottom of it. It n lias had simple contentions for j i power, for place, and for cor- 1 ruption, commencing here in this ;; body, and permeating throughout; < the country." j; This, perhaps, is one of the ’ most remarkable truths that has ; 1 fallen from the lips of any member | of either house of Congress, since: radicalism has obtained place and power at Washington. It is the aimpie truth that the whole pack are “wolves in sheeps clothing.” professing to be the champions of human liberty, of morality and virtue, they bow to the “flesh pots." Profligacy, immoralityand licentuousness hold high carnival; ’ and among the most devoted vota-| ries of every species of seusu- I al I ist are these very high priests • of morality. The people have sacrificed enough blood and treas- • ure to have secured something i substantial in return. It has re-1 suited in an attempt to elevate an ; inferior race’ to the political and! Social level of the whites, not as Kpragnc says from “high and vir-. tuous principle,” but to secure I power. It has made us slaves to bondholders and in die scale of, morality we have gone back until we are no belter than France in her most profligate days. It com- ■ ma need at Washington, and as Sprague says, is “permeating throughout the country.” Andrew Johnson’s daugh-1 tcra left the White House in better condition than any out going President. They did not dismantle it and carry away the furniture as did the martyr’s widow. Senator Yales is reported to be writing a new book, entitled “Re eollcrtions of a Boozv Life.”

suffrage, where th< • question has been submitted tc the people, has been rejected bj the people of Indiana by a deci- = sive vote that indicates a majority . in the State opposed to the meas- , ure of at least fifty thousand. Sen- - ator Huey’s district, composed of • the counties of Jay, Blackford and • Grant, aloned offered opposition, , which resulted in a damaging dei 1 feat to the Radicals. In view of this fact will the Radical members of the General Assembly insists upon ratifying the fifteenth amendment ? Will the Radical press insist upon its ratification by the General Assembly in the face of this majority ? Did the Democratic members who resigned represent the majority of the people of the State of Indiana or not? In important measures, as the amendment of the Constitution of the United States, should the people be consulted, or should politicians dictate to them ? These are important questions which the people have already decided, and could they be heard would speak in trumpet tones to the Radical members of the General Assembly’. The people ask to be heard ; and before acting upon the fifteenth amendment let them return to the people the power entrusted to them, that the legal voters of the State may decide a question of so much importance to themselves and their children. iSTThe civil tenure act is still an open question. The House have refused to concur in the Sen- j ate’s amendment, and have demanded that the laxfr be repealed. ; The Senate will/doubtless acceed y' I to their~~dwiands. Grant’s an- ' nouncement that Johnson's offi- I cials would be retained worrys the ini poachers and they now assert that had Grant insisted upon its ( repeal they would have complied with his wishes. Other acts of radical legislation may be found : to sadlv interfere with the radical 1 v I plan before four years expires. Miscellaneous. A soldier is still walking his beat as a guard before the house of ex-Secretary Seward, where he was placed immediately after the assassination of Mr. Lincoln and the attempt on Mr. Seward's life. Mr. Seward is gone, but the sentinel remains at his post. A few days ago a negro woman forty two years of age, living seventeen miles from Athens, Alabama, gave birth to twins—one a white infant, and the other black i as the ace o.f spades. Three young ladies, daughters j of respectable farmers in the neighborhood of Chambersburg, i Pennsylvania, were ravished by a young negro of nineteen onThurs- ; day’ afternoon. The negro was arrested on Friday, and an attempt was made to mob him, but milder counsels prevailed and the inch, dispersed. A radical paper says: “In New' York 40,000 intelligent and gen-' tlemanly Irishmen paraded in procession, on St. Patrick’s day,; without jnurdering any of the infamous pbliccmen of the city.” A staff officer of the French army in Algeries has discovered two ' subterranean tombs, probably dating from the period when the Romans settled in Numidia. They evidently’ belonged to the natives ) of the country, and the architect- I ure is not in elegance and grandeur. ■ Similar to the Roman burningplaces, they contaitT funeral urns i deposited in niches. A skull was I found ip one which tends to prove j i the fact that the Numidians decap- i ! itated their dead burying their j I head and burning the rest of the ' I body. A Washington letter says of! Brownlow: “Trembling like an- , aspen leaf, his hands, feet, and ; even bis jaws are in constant trem-1 j ulous motion ; he sits there like a I candle burned to its socket, ready ' ■in a moment to go out Every | i motion is that of a most enfeebled I invalid, slow, languid and unavailing. His voice is so feeble and , tremulous that his son, who con- | stantly attends him, must place his ear close to his father's lips, and thus convey his words to his friends. Day after day the eyes of hundreds in the galleries are fixed upon the old man. as he sits, half lies there in his chair, a silent quivering, human wreck. He has reached the senate, the goal of his latter day ambition, hut to drop when barely across its threshold, too feeble to stand even while taking the oath of bis office, and too faint ever to ntter a sentence that shall be he heard across the senate chamber.”

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT IN INDIANA! What the people think) Huey re-elected to the Senate from the Radical District of Grant, Blackford, and Jay by 600 majority: Indiana against NogrO Suffrage by 70,000 majority. In 1866, Roaert Huey was elected SenatorTrom the counties of Adams, Wells and Jay. In redistricting the State, the Radical Legislature of 1867 placed Jay county in the Senatorial District with Blackford and Grant, with the intent of making it hopelessly Radical. At the State election in October last this district gave Bak era majority of 382 over Hendricks —a sufficient margin for all practical purposes. When the Democratic members of the Legislature, at the recent session, concluded to resign their

seats to defeat the ratification of the proposed Constitutional Sqf ! frage Amendment, Mr. Huey tehf dered his resignation with the oth- > er members, and vacated his seat. I Upon consulation, the Radical leaders decided not to make a contest in the decided Democratic counties and districts, but to make a vigorous effort to defeat ■ the re-election of the members who I had resigned in the close and doubtful counties and They determinnet not to get up any excitement to bring out a full vote in all the forty six counties in which elections were to be held for their dread was a full expression of the people on the suffrage issue. The Senatorial district of Grant, Blackford and Jay was set down as a sure thing for a Radio-, al triumph, and they calculated that the defeat of Huey would give them prestige at the special session of the Legislature, and throughout the country generally. I The Radicals nominated their strongest man against Mr. Huey, Colonel Asbury Steele, 3 who ' made the issue fair and square % upon the question of negro suffrage, ; taking unqualified grounds in its j favor. The Radicals calculated j upon the election of Steele with absolute certainty. They had a capital of three hundred and eighj ty-two majority to start upon, and i Grant is one of the most decided ; Radical counties in the State, we may say, dyed in the wool. The naked question of suffrage, i and the resignation of the Demo- ! cratic members of the Legislature ito defeat the ratification of the proposed amendment, at least un- •< til it could be submitted to the people. wore the issues. Here was a fair tost of the question before the people. No other question enter ed into the convass or election. The issue was made upon the ground chosen by the Repblicans, and with the odds in their favor. i It may be fairly said that the vote in this Senatorial distaict may be regarded as a fair expression oft(Jie ] jwmtiment of the people of Indiana upon this question. The Journal : of yesterday says the Republicans took no part in the election of ; Tuesday “save in three or four ; counties." Governor Baker , fixed the election to suit interests of his party and the party chose j ; the points were their forces should i take part in the elections. And what has been the result ? - » A telegram from a reliable person in Grant county informs us ' that “Huey’s majority in Grant is 1 one hundred andfifty, and he is I elected by at least six hundred. This makes a change of a thousand votes since the October elec- • tion and in an election in which the leading measure of the Radical party is at issue. After such a 1 demonstration of popular sentiment can the Republican members of the Legislature claim that in forcing a vote upon the proposed constitutional suffrage amendment I that they are reflecting the will of the people ?At the called special session of the Legislature can they have the assurance to even present ’an amendment to the ; Legishturo for consideration or i action upon it ? The re election of Mr. Huey under the circumstance is over ; whelming evidence that the people !of Indiana are opposed to the Amendmint. The question is set tied, so far as the people are con cerned. More than this: Thay i have approved, in that election, of ' the resignation of the Democratic members to defeat the ratification of the Amendment. It is fortunate that Mr. Huey resigned, as his resignation brought the question to a dirrect issue in a Radical district. , The Radical papers have had a , good deal to say about the rule of . the majority. We have now an expression of the majority. The voters in a Radical district elect a Democratic Senator to defeat the j negro suffrage proposition. Is ti not enough to determine the ■ question ? Dare the majority iu the 1 Legislature again attempt to force , the ratflcation of a proposed amendmet to Constitution which the people have pronounced against most unmistakably ? We think not A)fain we say the elec-' pion nf Mr. Flunsettles the qnes-

“ tion of negro suffrage in Indiana. We make no boost of his election as a mere party triumph, but we do as an honestand just expresB sion of the people, against a meas- ■ ure fraught with evil to our political institutions, and which can not fail to be a misfortune to the country if it should be adopted and enforced as proposed by Congress.—State Sentinel. , In the deep valley Yo Semite, California, are several falls far surpassing in height the falls of ’ Niagara. At the lower end of the valley is the cascade called the Bridal Vail, the water pouring over the rocky wall a distance of 900 feet. Two or three miles beyoundare the Yo Semite, where the water falls, in three plunges, a i distance of 2,800 feet, the first leap being nearly 1,800 feet, the next 400, and the last 600 feet. In ’ looking from the bottom of the gorge at the immense height from . which the water descends, the stream, which is 87 feet in breadth at the top, seems to be only a foot and a half wide.

■ jjy The Cincinnati Commerial gives Summer’s State the following unkind cut: “Massachustts is pressing a war claim of 1812. We suppose it is ' for pay of the celebrated troops that had conscientious scruples a- . gainst crossing the frontier, paru ticularly as they would have been obliged to perform the ceremony under fire.” , A “vile copperhead” could not say a meaner thing about that “loyal” Stata. A curious phenomena occdred in Bethel, Maine, last Saturday night. A damp snow fell in the evening, which was followed by a powerful wind that rolled it up into balls frequently as large as a four-gallon keg. Hundreds of them were counted in a single field. Prof. Cleavland decribes a similar phenomenon that occurred about the year 1807, when they were as large as a barrel. * ’ Eminent physicians assert that a change of physical type is periodic, and that since 1862, the plethoric type has been gaining on the nervous. Men can lose blood now, according to their statements who could not a few years ago.— “The nervous type,” says one physician, “ came in with the first cholera epidemic, and has lasted about a third of ft century.” — Loyalty of the Times.
