Sesatoe Streight has been giving some pne a pair of "decoy geese." Wouldn't he aud Hurls nuke a good pair? Tus News is s--iil going it blind oa minority representation. Senator Streight ought to semi a pair ot "decoy geesa" around to the Kew3 office. Ex Governor IIakteasft, of Pennsylvania, has b!n appointed postmaster of Philadelphia. He has been expecting Bayard Taylors shoes. Quite a tumble for an ex.govtrnor and a wouTd-be first-clas3 foreign ministtr. Mr Tildes's testimony has so completely demoraliz'd the Republican press that they seem, to Lave only energy enough left to raise their heads and gisp, "It's a lie," "it's 'a lie." The "independent" press ditto Sad, very sad. Trie c'i her committee- palled up slakes and left New York for Washington suddenly aicer examining Mr. Til den. They were in t be same fix cf the bear hunter, who excused himself fro -J pursuing the "bar" because the trail was getting "tnodurnftljrfjth," Tni Journal is striking blindly at the "ap. 'portioning nt bill." It evidently has not posted itself. It thoroughly apprehended the inherent rascality of the last one passed by its own party aud takes it for granted that a Democratic Legislature must necessarily be as mean as a Republican one. - Jobs Logan is expected in Washington next week, and ereat preparations are being made for his reception rockets, red lights, etc. It is said that lie will give Grant a third terra '"boost" in a bis speech he is preparing for the occasion. John is in full feather again, and the war punt shines on his classic br.w once mora. Sesatob Christiancy has resigned bis seat in the United Sra'es Senate. The Michigan legislature is in session, and we may look tor en outpouring of the "dollars of the 'dad iW aud old B.iurbon. Old Zach has plenty of both, and thinks tbey have untold virlti.sin a Senatorial hunt Sailin, Zich. Losan and Robeson ae "pining for thee." The Journal's opinion on Mr. T:ldei.'s statement, before the cipher committee, reads like an old cimp.in editorial of 1876, burnished np. 'All the old "stufF' appears 'railroad wrecker," "false income," "biggest liar," "old noodle," etc To give it a more modern twist, there is an allusion, in connection with it to "Merrick, the mur derer." We suggest that it borrow the wood cuts, uaed by ourenterprising contemporary, ' the People," to illustrate the late hanging match, sprinkle them judiciously through the article and if publish it in the weekly Journal. We are gratified to learn that there is an active demand for provisions and grain at advancing prices, which warrant the conclu ion t'nt operators will bs able, in some measure at least, to make up for past losses. The demand is Dot for speculation but for consumption, and evidences the fact that quotations have reached "hard pan," and that no further concessions are possible. The advance in corn and wheat, as also in hogs, is indicative that operators will have some margin for .profits, which at prices that have prevailed for some time past have made impossible. The Russian plague, which has closed the Black Sea ports, has put a stop to - exportations of grain, and to a large degree . made European markets dependent upon " American supplies for bread duffs. In provisions a higher rangs of prices is inevitable since hogs have advanced from $2 23 in January to $3 75 to $4 83 at present quoted, with re dnced receipts at Chicago and all the pack ing centers of the country. ,-,' THB STATE AFFO&f I0N21ENT BILL. . If any Democrat doubted the propriety of passing the apportionment bill, which has been ordered engrofsed by the House, the doubt would be removed, after reading the Journal of yesterday. The Journal does not like the bill, and that is prima facie evidence that it is a wise and just measure. We pass by its silly talk about what should be the title of the bill, how it originated, what the committee did abd who it will elect to the United Slates Senate In 188L. It is pretty clear it will elect a Democrat, which is a strong reason wby the Journal does not like it, and wby the bill should be promptly parsed. The Journal mainly criticises the bill because it gives a senatorial and repre sentative float to the counties cf Marion Shelby and Bartholomew, and yet the table publithed in that paper only a few days ago shoed that the excess of population in there three counties justified these floats. In other word, the Journal is not Eatiftiel with two Republican senators ' and five Republican representatives from Marion county, as provided by the bill, but would have three senators and six representatives, which her population does not justify. That is, it demands three Republi can senators and six Republican representatives for the 10,611 Republican votes cast in Marion county at the last Stat election, but utterly denies any representation (even a float with other counties having an excess of population) for the 0,462 Democratic votes and the 2,123 National votes, cast In the same cooaty mt Ute earn? elecuoo, A ReubUcuu

minority should have three senators and six representatives, but neither the Democrats or Nationals, who constitute the majority, should have anything. This is the kind of minority representation favored by the Republican preps. This it a specimen of the fairness and liberality of the Journal. Marion and Shelby counties have a float now nadir the present Republican apportionment, and Bartholomew is squarely contiguous to Shelby. They are connected by railroads, and the official return of the voting population shows that the excess in these three counties justifies the float given them in the bill. The Journal, to say the least, has been particularly unfortunate in its attack upon this measure. It should learn that, in politics as in war, it is always bad policy to make a stand on a weak point, and a weaker ttand than the Journal has made In this matter, or a weaker point, would be bard to find. About the only thing it truthfully says is that "the bill is the work of Several beads, and great genius, as well as 'great labor, has been bestowed upon it." We rcay add, for the Journal's further information, that the bill has been earnestly considered, not only by the' apportionment committee, but by the Democratic members iu caucus, and will certainly become a law. It is an apportionment strictly in conformity to the constitution, and Democrats, for all time, will be proud of the fairness of Its provisions, especially when compared with the last infamous gerrymander of the Republicans.

TERES SCOEB YEARS. My bark In on the river. It Is tossing on the waves, And eddying, whirling currents Bvar It by a laud of graves. It is floating to a haven, To anchor by the shore. Where tempests never rase Aud suns lise to set no more. It has been written that the journey of a day is the picture of human life. It may be so. The morning of hope, a meridian of exultation and an evening of rest Such would be a fancy Bketch. The realities of life controvert it, for, as Longfellow sings, "Life is real, life is earnest" and we add with the great mass of humanity that life is a battle-field. Under providence childhood is ever beau tiful because it is a period of innocence, and nothing is more sacred than its recollections. The sweet refrains ot a mother attuned to the holiest affection; the gentle caress of a sister and the generous support of a brother with the advice of a father, are among the holiest recollections vouchsafed to roan These things corns in the morning of life, and they linger forever in the memory. They are blended with the orchard, the meadow. the deep tangled wild wood, and ev ery loved spot that our infancy knew. Then time was decked in holiday attire and did not appear in after life the grave digger of hopes and affections. How lovingly we cherish such recollections. They are pictures grander than Kiph-rl ever painted, and at three score years they hang in memory's hall free from the dust and mould of years. They were life's morning pictures, and we cherish them with more than pagan devotion. Liter in life comes the school-room, with its juvenile attachments and ambitions, when we seek to solve the simplest problems of an education to tit ns for tha bit tie of life, and here begin life's poems. Fancy plumes itself, and imagination wings us to the summits of the delectable mountains as the ultimatum of our ambition. Liter in life comes the wooing, and the wedding, and the blending of lives and of hopes a new departure a new home the first born, and all the rapture of fatherhood. and motherhood, and nature puts on a new attire. C tie rub lips and cherub arms awaken new ambitious new hopes and beatitudes never before dreamed of, come down like manna. The birds Changs their notes, and the liquid lips of the rivulets are attuned to a hymnology sweeter than the music of the spheres. In the ecstacy of the hour daisy-decked graves of father and mother, of brother and sister, are forgotten, ana Heaven Den as lovingly above tha cradle, aud affections corns, bearing more precious gifts than frankincense and myrrh. Again the picture changes, and death becomes the unwelcome guest of the home, where but yesterday all was joy, and the first bora lies cold and stiff in its shroud. Tears come like the sobbings of the rains, and the waitings of the heart are like the North winds. It la over. There is a little monad in the cemetery, climbing roses and a tombstone, and the bereaved are left alone with their sorrows. Others are born and others die, until daath in the relentlessnessof its pursuit takes the wife or the husband. Then desolation reigns supreme in the heart of the remaining pflgrim who, wrapt in the weeds of mourning, ' sighs like I the winds alone, alone, forever alone. Consolations coma, and surviving children, like the ivy, wind the tendrils of their affections around the heart, and bid the father or the mother as the case may bs to live. But death claims all seasons for its own, is too austere to heed the language of the heart, and wields its scythe and spado regardless ot the sorrows which he produces. He sees the gray hairs that deck the brow of the aged parent, the dimmed eye, the faltering step, the palsied arm, and glorias t know that another victim is soon to be claimed. And thus, from the cradle up to the summit of life, 'as down its declivities it is sunshiae and shadow, birth and death, hopes and disappointments, colli as and graves, until, from every corridor of memory, there comes a dirge. On the declivity of life, with a few friends around us, we pause for a moment. Sixty years have rolled away. The autumn of life has came, and we have seen oar friends around us fall like leaves in wintry weather. At sixty the sun of our lives is touching the horizon. God bs thanked ' at that iime for gentle words, for sweet caresses, for true friends, though we know that tha river of death is near, yet in God's providence it Is obscured from oar vision, and at most but a few years can elapse until we plunge into its dark waters. At three score years let us begin to fold the umj of the soul and get ready for the change that awaits us, for at best in ten years more we reach the maximum of life's period; and if days are added they are fraught with angauX 2f r.wiUuUudiiig a iuU, i. it aU

ble, in spite of time, which writes its flight in wrinkles, and evidences its trophies with hoary hairs, to keep the . heart as young as in the morning of life, for it seems to be decreed that, with advancing years, there shall be dreams by day as well as by night ; of beatitudes which shall atone for every moment of anguish endured during life's pilgrimage, and thus, at three score years, while Tie wing the sun set, life, with its garnered recollections, may be more beatific than in its morning or its noon. Hopes nearer realization. Faith, in its attractive power, bringing things from afar, may, as they are designed, but irradiate the soul, aud make the sixty year mile poet monumental.

The foregoing is the language of a Republican organ in Indiana which, in its present management, has been the apologist of partisan frauds, the defender of political villainies and the advocate of methods of partisan supremacy which, were they punishable by statute, would fill every penitentiary in the land with convicts, ard as they shuffled off the immortal coil would people Hades so densely that, in the language of the Republican representative, Overuieyer, "their feet 'would stick out of the windows of the 'abodes of tbe damned." The Republican parly anticipated a triumph, if by their strategems they could force Samuel J. Tilden upon the stand. They believed that his testimony would embody equivocation and prevarication, and that hereafter they could point to Hayes, and to the methods that made him president, as illustrations of vir tue worthy of commendation; but in all of this the Republican leaders, conspirators, thieves, perjurers and vagabonds have been foiled, and we instanca the Journal's petulant and flatulent tirade as a conspicuous evidence of the fast. The New York Herald, which is large in its independence, severe In its criticisms and generous in its approvals. and withal occupying a position in which it can afford to be just, does not hesitate to say that Mr. Tilden's testimony "was clear, de'cisive aud unequivocal," aud that "the very 'evidence now produced proves the infamy 'of the men who controlled the canvass of 'the States which he feels assured were car'ried by him, and seems to confirm 'the belief fo emphatically announced 'by the witness that the votes and certifi cates 'of Florida and Loumana were bought by 'the Republicans," and the Herald might have added with equal propriety that the votes of South Carolina were obtained by the same infamous method. Here, then, we have the case, and it only remains for tbe Totter committee to add its report embodying, as it will.additlonal facta with regard to the proceedings of Republican conspirators to bring before the American people once more the perfidious villainies, by virtue of which the Democratic party and the American people were robbed of the victory obtained at the polls in November, 1S7(J. The Republican party has miscalculated the temper of tbe American people, if they suppose that the remedy for the crimes is in subsequent s'.anders of Samuel J. Tilden, and the tactics which they are now employing, only brings into bolder relief the perjuries by which they triumphed. In 130 the American people, pledged to an administration of the Government of absolute justice and ' integrity, will examine with microscopic vigilance every transaction of , the vile crew who in Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina, made it possible for bullets and bayenets, fraud and falsehood, duplicity and lying, bargain and sale, to dethrone the right and bring American institutions into disgrace ; and as certain as lightnings execute the will of God, so certain will it be th.t the ballot will hereafter execute the will of freemen. The time is at band the music is already in the air, when such men as John Sherman, J. Madison Wells, R. B. Hayes, and their co-co aspirators, will be compelled to pass through the exacting ordeal of an investigation before the high tribunal of public opinion, and their acta receive the execrations of all honorable men, and when the verdict is pronounced, tbe perjured scoundrels who are now quartered in Federal offices as a reward of their crimes, will be dragged forth, and with , their benefactors, made to sit in the public pillory. Such a verdict Is demanded by the "eternal fitness of thing." It is in consonance with the "logic of events," and the mills of the gods, though grinding slowly, will ' grind the ' men who plotted the downfall of American liberties "exceedingly small." We congratulate the American people upon t&e investigations which brought Samuel J. Tilden and the Democratic party upon the stand. Tilden's character was never more luminous with truth and right,' and the Democratic party has been made, in all regards, more potential for good by the majesty ot his declarations. OLIPPISC1S.

NATIONAL POLITICS.

Speech, of Senator Voorhees on the Edmunds Resolutions. A M uwhnnrtta MlnalODftry Politely Requested Im lira la Work at llme. In the United States Senate, Wednesday, February 5, during the debate on Mr. Edmunds' resolutions, relating to the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution Sena tor Voorhees made the follownig vigorous reply to an assault made by Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, on the constitution of Indiana: Mr. Voorhees Mr. President, I have cot participated in this debate for two reasons: First, because I am suffering too severely from a cold ; and secondly, because I attach but li.tle importance to the resolutions of the senator from Vermont or to the discussion upon them. I only arise now for fear tbe assault or criticism made by tbe senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar) upon the constitution of Indiana may be misconstrued if I should remain entirely silent. My view of this whole question is that whenever the constitution of a State niad6 before the war, or since for that matter, contained a provision upon the subject or suffrage discriminating against any one on account or race, color, or previous condition of servitude, the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States overrides that provision and renders it nugatory and void, even though It may still remain in the CQDsti'ution 0f tbe State. I regard the amendments to the cocttitution of the United States as valid parts of that instrument, and together with the other provisions of the constitution tbey constitute the paramount law of tbe land. By tbe fifteenth amendment all discriminations on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude are forbidden, as I have stated, but with this exception the question of suffrage and ita regulation remains with tbe Sta:es as heretofore. I voted for the amendment offered by tbe senator from Arkansas (Mr. Garland) and be expressed my views far better than I can express them myself. I do not merely think, or conjecture, I know that the fifteenth constitutional amendment was Dot legally ratified by tbe Legislature of Indiana; I know that as an historical fact. Consequently, w ben called upon to vote whether the amendments, includiug tbe fifteenth, were legally ratified or not, 1 could vote but one way. 1 did not make the issue mjself, but wben it was made I could pass upon it only in the manner I did. But, sir. there is a ratification that cjmes by usage, by sanction, by acquiescence, by acceptance on the part of the people, and of the States, and of the various departments of tbe Federal Government. That kind of ratification has been given to the amendments of the constitution brought in question here, and I presume there is not a man in the United States wbo desires to disturb tbem. Certainly I do not. I si? to the senator from Massac bu setts that at tome other time, not to-night, I will perhaps endeavor to entertain him with a comparison between the constitution of Indiana and tbe constitution ot Massachusetts, in tbe privileges, rights and liberties tbey extend to the citizens of our respective StaUS Mr. Hoar Will the senator allow me a moment? The Presiding Officer (Mr. Cockrell in tbe chair.) Will tbe senator from Indiana yield to the senator from Massachusetts? Mr. Voorhees Certainly. Mr. Hoar Mr. President, the senator from Indiana certainly misunderstood me if he supposed it was my purpose in the least to mate any reflection or disparagement upon the constitution of bis State. I was endeavoring simply to express my view of tbe proposition that suffrage was not conferred by the constitutional amendment; and for tbe sake simply of putting that point, I said here is the constitution of Indiana; it is an old one; the same thing was in that of Connecticut at onetime; 1 cite Connecticut, because it is the State of my own ancestors who had something to do with its institutions. But my point was, the Stafe of Indiana says tbe negro shall not have suffrage, and that is all it says; then comes in the constitution of tbe United States and says you shall not discriminate against him. My question was, "From what authority does the negro get his suffrage?" It was not in the least with tbe view of intimating that the constitution ot Indiana would net compare favorably with any other in the country, but simply as illustrating a legal proposition. Mr. Voorhees: I did not understand the criticism of tbe senator from Massachusetts to be in a hostile spirit. What I desire to say now, and I am not in a condition to talk at all to-night, is simply that Indiana with that clause in her constitution yields absolutely to the paramount law contained in the constitutional amendment; and that discrimination which she made before the war on account of race and color has been abrogated by the constitution of the United States. The black man enjoys suffrage, tbe right to vote, and all other civil rights as completely in Indiana as in any other State; much more so, the senator from Massachusetts will pardon me for saying, than he can possibly do In the State of Massachusetts. Of the three-quarters of a million of black men who vote in the Southern States there are not 60.000 who could vote under tbe constitution of the State of Massachusetts. And why? While not discriminating against them on account of their color, yet there is a clause in the constitution of Massachusetts which requires a man, before be can vote, to be able to read the constitution in the English language and write his name. It is well known that the negro can read it, as a general rule, in no language. It is not their fault, it is their misfortune, the misfortune of their former condition; but Massachusetts, Btanding. as she assumes always to do, in the front ranks of human progress, has a clause in ber constitution that would disfranchise nearly the whole negro race at every voting precinct in ber borders. She also disfranchises those of foreign birth until they nan learn a new language. When vou see thoss words "the English language" in her constitution, yon at once see against what class or people tbe clause is aimed. It is provided that tbe foreigner who goes to Massachusetts to seek citizenship shall stay mere long enough before voting not merely to understand something of the institutions of the country, not merely to imbibe a veneration and.love for tbem, but be must be schooled in a Dew tongue, so that be can read tbe constitution in the English language. And I submit in all kindness to the senator from Massachusetts that wbile there is some want of harmony between the constitution of Indiana and events that have taken place growing 'oat of the war, while some of her ante bell urn provisions do not harmonize with tbe great. changes tbatbave since taken place, that is not a fault on her part. This prescriptive provision, however, in tbe constitution of Massachusetts does not grow out of national events; it grows out ot a spirit inherent in that State, Dot leveled originally, of course, against tbe black roan, but now applicable to him as to all others. It was leveled against the foreigner originally, but it now proscribes the negro as well as tbe foreigner; and, while tbe seoator from Massachusetts in the true spirit of old apostolic propaeandism give us the benefit of his wiaxfoa, awuces the functions gf minion.

ary in his teachings to other more modest States, I weald commend him before going further in bis work to liberalixs the institution or the State ot Massachusetts. I coatmend him to begin at home.
