The Proclamation.

Constitution by the requisite number of States. This proclamatiou makes the amendment henceforth apart of the Constitution. It was a measure long delayed, althongh required by every principle of justice and humanity. It enfranchises millions and bids them start in the real race of life. The abolition of slavery was a grand thing! It elevated our government beyond Party, and is one of the proudest monuments of its greatness! The colored people of the United States may now rejoice and thank God that the last vestige of slavery has been removed from them and their descendants, and that they not only stand as other citizens

before the law, but also have equal poall litical rights—in fact are now, things, American citizens! It is a glorious consummation which has come, at last, out of the din and turmoil, the labor and bloodshed of the Rebellion.

The message of President ^rRANT communicatirff^e Proclamation to Congress, Elsewhere in our columns, is full of wise suggestions and grand philanthro

GENERAL GEORGE K. STEELE, in a letter to the Indianapolis Journal,

says:

Through the public spirit and enterprise of one man, the city of Terre Haute was brought into communication with the outer world from the four cardinal points of the compass, and the result is that she is now reaping the benefits of the trade and enhanced wealth of the surrounding country, including the mining and manufacturing interests. If the enterprise and determination of one man did this for our neighboring city, the aggregate wealth and enterprise of the people along the line of the proposed Indiana and Illinois Central Railway, stretching on an east and west line from your city to Decatur, Illinois, one hundred and fifty miles, through one ofme best coal regions of the West, and as fine agricultural lands as any in the world, as well as th# finest forests of timber and best quarries of building stone, can and will build this great railroad, whether the present company build it or not. If they do not intend to build it, as some suspect and say, they will be forced to get out of the way. The interests of the country demand it, and the people will have it. .Not only this road will be built but many others, which will rapidly develop the wealth of Western Indiana.

The Terre Haute and Chicago Railroad is already rapidly advancing under the wise and energetic management of President Collett, and is a recognized necessity in conveying the iron ore of Lake Superior to the furnaces at Terre Haute and Brazil. One hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars have been voted in Montgomery county, and seventy-five thousand dollars in Parke to aid in the completion of the Evansville and Craw fordsville railroad from this place to Crawfordsville. Our county has also voted $100,000 to aid in building the road through our county, from Brazil in the direction of Attica.

Most of these enterprises have been put ou foot sinpe Prof. Cox has wade his geological survey of our ooal fields, and all of them have received an impetus by the knowledge elicited by his researches, must eventuate in their successful completion, and the happy realization of our long-delayed hopes of utilizing the latent i\^eaiyi deposited in our soil

Message from the President of the "Ij]- United States. WASHINGTON, March 30. To the Senate and House of Representatives:

It is unusual to notify the two Homes of Congress by message of promulgation by proclamation of the Secretary of State of the ratification of a constitutional amendment. In view, however, of the vast importance of the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution this day declared a part of that revered instrument, I deem a departure from usual customs justifiable. A measure which makes at once four millions of people voters, 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 Independence the opinion was fixed and universal in the civilized portion of the white race, and regarded as an axiom in morals as well as in politic, that "black Jmen had no rights which white men were bound to respect." It is indeed a measure of grander importance than any other act of the kind from the foundation of our free government to the present time, institutions 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 enfranchised 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 privilege of advancement to new citizens. The framers of our Constitution firmly believed that a republican form of government could not endure without intelligence and education generally diffused among the people. The Father of his country, in his farewell address, used this language: "Promote, then, as a matter of primary .mportance, .institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of the government gives force to puttlic opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened."

In his first annual message to Congress the same views were forcibly presented, and are again urged in his eighth message.

I repeat that the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution completes the greatest civil change, and constitutes the most important event that has occurred since the nation came into life. The change will be beneficial in proportion to the heed that is given to the urgent recommendations of Washington.

If these recommendations were impor tant then, with a population of but a few millions, how much more important now with a population of forty millions increasing in a rapid ratio. I would therefore call upon Congress to take all means within their constitutional power, to promote and encourage popular education throughout tbe country, and upon the people everywhere to see to it thatall who lossess and exercise political rights Bhall aave opportunity to acquire knowledge, which will make their share in the Government a blessing and not a danger. By such means only can the benefits con templated by this amendment to the Constitution be secured. (Signed,) U.S.GRANT,

SENATE.

A RF WASHINGTON, LIUVH 30. A committee of conference was appointed on the bill amending the laws' o| the District of Columbia. f:

The bill providing for a post officet building at Little Rock, passed. The concurrent resolution appointment of a special Committee on-Indian Affairs was called up by Mr. Stewart.

Mr. Thurman opposed the resolution4 because he thought he saw in the proposition a disposition to make our Indian policy subordinate to certain railroad c$m-J panies, which coveted possession of tl|£ public domain. He thought he saw in it a great land trafficking scheme, from beginning to end, which would result in violation of Indian treaties.

Mr. Morrill (Yt.) believed there were no questions deserving of more thorough scrutiny than those concerning Indian affairs, and he preferred to have them re viewed by an independent committee of the Senate. He ^aid it frequehtly happened that bills which had passed t)ie House were shown to be so worthless upon investigation by the committee of the SenateHhat any idea of their being passed would he prepostrous.

Mr. Coroett spoke of the necessity of carrying out our treaty stipulation as a means of preventing Indian wars,

Mr. Randall offered concurrent resolutions expressive of regret at the death of Gen. Thomas, who was endeared to the country by patriotic services for thirty years, never faltering faith and zeal in the maintenance Of the Union and integrity of the Government, and stern execu tion of every trust confided^ to him, and authorizing arrangements in connection with obsequies. As a test of the sympathy of Congress in the1National'i)ereavement the resolutions were adopted unanimously.

Mr. Julian introduced a resolution extending the land laws of the United States over Alaska referred.

The Senate bill removing disabilities of several Virginians passed. Mr. Butler, of-Mass., from Reconstruction Committee, reported back the Senate amendment to the bill admitting Texas to representation in the Union, with recommendation that the amendment be concurred in. The amendment was to stoike out the proviso that nothing in the bill shall affect the conditions in which Texas was originally annexed to the Union. Dnring the discussion Brooks,* of N. Y., remarked there were three •iven to Texas in the annexation bill, and he asked Mr. Butler whether these guarantees, except of course as to slavery, would stand in the new compact.

Mr. Butler gave as his opinion that the striking out of the proviso would not alter or affect in any way the original guarantees.

The Senate amendment vas concurred in, 132 against 50, a party vote. The bill granting the Marine Hospital at Natchez to the State of Mississippi was passed.

Mr, Hoar from Committee on Education and Labor, reported a bill to establish a system of national education, in* tended only for these States that refuse to establish a system of public education, which was postponed to the second Tuesday in December.

Mr. Arnell, from, the same committee, reported a bill to allow school trustees of Arkansas to enter lands for school purposes under the homestead law, allowing them to take in. fence and improve forty acres for each school.

On motion of Mr. Julflui, the bill was sent to the Speaker's table. Mr. Arnell, from same Committee, reported a bill providing that the office of Education in the Department of the Interior shall be hereafter named Bureau of Education, and that all unexpended money in the Treasury to account of Freedmen's Bureau for the education and support of refugees and freedmen, shall be transferred to accoiint of the Bhreau pf F/jn™uinn, having special reference to aid in the establishment and useful|ea of

thought the agency of a joint committee might prove effective to that end. Mr. Drake moved to amend by striking out the authority of the committee to examine witnesses and send for persons and papers, which he said would avoid an expenditure amounting to not less than $20,000.
