The Xv th Amendment.

Tfc* prop—c 4 iftMiitk amend«««tU.lU cmuUumi*. * the United SUU* provide I*. That.t no election In any state shall any distinction be made lo regard to •lector* on account of race, color, of previous condition ot slavery.— H That congress may enforce this rule by judieions legislation. It requires that the legislatures of threefourths of the states ratify it to make it a part of tho constitution. The following tabic shows the states that have acted on it together with those |hat have not; Alabama, not ncuM.. Arkansas, ratified March SO, 1860. California, not acted. Connecticut, ratified March 13th. Delaware, rejected March 18th. qpFlorida, ratified March 15th. Illinois, ratified March sth. Indiana, ratified May 14th. lowa, not acted. •Kansas, ratified February 27th. Kentucky, rejected March 18th. Louisiana, ratified March sth. Maine, ratified March 12th. Maryland, not acted. Massachusetts, ratifiedM'ch 12th. Michigan, ratified March Bth. Minuesota, uot acted. •Missouri, ratified March Ist Mississippi, not acted. Nevada, ratified March Ist N. Carolina, ratified March sth. Nebraska, ratified March sth. New Hampshire, ratified July 7th. New York, ratified April 14th. New Jersey, not acted. fOhio, Rejected May 4th. Oregon, not acted.' Pennsylvania, ratified March 26th. Khodc Island, not dieted. S. Carolina, ratified March 16th. Tennessee, not acted. Texas, not acted. t Vermont, not acted. Virginia, ratified October Bth. West Virginia, ratified March 3d. Wisconsin, ratified March Oth. Besides Kansas and Missouri, whose legislatures ratified imperfect copies, twenty states have ratified the amendment. The legislatures of these states will correct their action, which will leave it neoessary for six more states to ratify it to make this amendment a part of the constitution and the supreme law of the Union. Of the states that have not yet acted, Alabama, lowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, Rhode Island, Texas and JVermont will probably ratify it this winter, while California, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon and Tennessee are doubtful. To sum up; Twenty-eight states are necessary to pass the amendment, and make it a law. Twentytwo have passed it and six others will soon be added to that number. Of the five doubtful states — or six if we include Ohio—the prospect is favorable for three to vote for it— We think tiiat it is certain to become a law before the 4th of next March. sad M momri ratified imperfect espies received by telegraph, but will correct their action. fie Ohio the people, by the late election, declared iu favor of the amendment, end the next legwisUre may reverse the decision of the last one. tSlnee this wee written, Vermont baa ratified the amendment.

Spain.

About one year ago a number of discontented leaders at the head of tbe Spanish army revolted against their Queen, Isabella. This revolt was acquiesced in by tbe people, although none but troops participated in it Isabella was reputed to be a woman of disolute habits, leaving the cares of government to courtiers, vicious, feeble and effeminate, whose conduct had alienated the nation from its sovereign. No regret came from any quarter wheu the government changed rulers. General Juan Prim, Marshal Serrano aud a citizen named Topete were the most conspicuous leaders in the revolt and the government naturally fell into their hands.— They, for years before, bad had the reputation of being liberals, and it was expected by those who had confidence in them, that they would exert their influence to establish a liberal form of government, if not republican, at least a m tnarchy so limited as to secure personal liberty aud individual freedom. They pretended that they only exercised their authority until the voice of the nation conld be expressed in thte choice of lawful ruler*. At length, after many dilatory pretexts and delays, which made it apparent the trinmvirs intended to boldjon as long as possible to the power they now possess, a legislature, caff ed a cortss, was elected, which framed a constitution that provided for tins choice of a king, and the throne was disgracefully offered as a prize to any of the royal aspirants of Europe, A number of candidates have appeared, but the claims of each have been rejected upon one pretext or another, as they have been canvassed by the

At the time this revolt occurred in Spain, a revolution was begun in Cuba, an island of the West Indies belonging to the Spanish government. Instead of Hetinglb a friendly manner towards their brothers and co-rebels in Cuba, the triumvirs treated them as enemies, and have from tbe first attempted to subdue them by force of arms. Meanwhile, the quiet inhabitants at home have been goaded to insurrection by starvation, arising from the suspension of trade, the stagnation in all kinda of busineea, the mistrust caused by the weakness end tyranny of the new governors, the dissatisfaction of the priesthood, and the doubts which hang over the future. lliere is no stability,*no certainty tor anything. Friends and foea have been treated by turns with ferocious severity, until nobody fuels safe. Thus, in a single year, the new government finds itself engaged in two formidable wars of its own causing—tbe rebellion at home and the revolution in Cuba—and at the same time is attempting to carry on a war with Peru and Chili, in South America, which Isabella had on hand when expelled from the throne. a. And this is the formidable power which very prudent men in England and extremely cautious ones in tbe United States are perpetually advising President Grant not to offend lest Spain make war on us also! Since tbe days of the Middle Ages, Spain has never been able to carry on a foreign war, if wo except her six months* raid iu Morocco, a few years since. We Lave no doubt President Grant’s administration will act with diguified prudenee towards all nations, whether weak or strong, and especially in the war between Spain and Cuba he will so act in the interests of justice and humanity aa to satisfy the reasonable wishes of the conntrv.

Cuba.

We notice that several of our exchanges, and among them the Indianapolis Journal , complain of the policy of this government towards Cuba. About one year sgo, Mr. Cespedes, a wealthy Cuban, manumitted and armed his slaves, nud started a rebellion against the government of tbe island, and proclaimed Cuba independent of Spain. The iusurrection has spread so that tbe insurgents now hold considerably more than half of the central and inland parts of the couutry, but have yet got possession of no sea coast city. Cespedes has a junta at Washington, to manage his interests in this country, and has emmisaries also in other places.

Under the circumstances President Grant has not thought proper to eoncede belligerent rights or acknowledge the independence of the Cespedes government Individuals aud parties in the United States have been busy raising recruits for Cespedes aud complain that tike President, through his Secretary of State, Mr. Fish, enforces the law agaiust such expeditions. All well know that for years past there has been a culpable neglect on the part of our officials to enforce our laws. During Mr. Johnson's maladministration, all rogues did with impunity whatever they chose. Itwas the promise of the republican party in the last Presidential canvass and embodied in General Grant's inaugural, that the laws of the land whatever they might be, should 4 be enforced, so that those laws which proved to be wrong in practice could be amended or repealed, and those which were proper and good should be respected. This is pre. cisely what is being done. At the proper time, if the Cespedes government is able to mantain its independence, it will be acknowledged by the United Btates. But it looks like a peculiar wrinkle of statesmanship, if we are to be compelled to acknowledge tbe independence of a handful of insurgents, and then be compelled to go to war to defend and protect them. Good faith towards all nations and our own self respect forbid such a course. If with strict impartiality from other states, and with the resources which the insurgent* can command, Cuba can cope with Spain, of course events will show it. Success is the test of sufficiency, the evidence of ability. If it is our objeot to annex Cuba or Canada to this Union, let us doit —we are able —bat let us do it openly. There is no need of stealing these countries. 1 . —There —is —no doubt President Grant, with hi* able counsellors, will act efficiently and honorably,™ Nona of the interest* of the United | State* will be neglected. No man will bave cause to bang hi* head in shame for any conduct of theirs.

The Hackle Suicids Hoax.

Mr. It F. Goddard ha* given us tllf l letters concerning the Hinklesaicide hoax, for pablkatioa. The following are extracts giving the nabstancc of their contents: “Aha, September 13th, *6O. “Mr*. M. C- Godi>aui> \ . Reiisselaer. J “Annt Mary; It seems to be my painful duly to break to you tho sad new* of the quick departure of our friend Bent. The photograph I enclose tells the story much quicker than I can write it. [The photograph represent* Mr. Hcnkle suspended by s ropo around his neck, with writing material* on a box near by, as though he had written an adieu to hi* triend* and then hung himself.— Ex»s. Union.] He committed the rash act on last Friday night and was not discovered until Saturday morning. The funeral takes place to-day at two o’clock p. m. He left a few lines on the box by his side which I think had better not be sent to Rensselaer. The trouble seemed to have been on account of * * * *’» marrying. He had worked hard all summer and saved some money, and, from the conversation I had with him on the subject, I think he intended to visit Rensselaer late this fall.

“Yours truly, (Signed,) “W. L. Bvbtox.” This letter was enclosed in a mourning envelope and bore all the appearance of truthfulness. Some parlies to whom the photograph was shown thought the position of the hanging body too graceful and the face too composed for one having suffered the paius of death by strangulation, and prevailed on Mr. Conwell, our Postmaster to write to the Postmaster at Ada concerning tho affair. Mr. Conwell’s letter elicited the following reply: “Ada, Oct., 18th ’69. “Mr. G. B. Co.NWKM., Pear bir: “I read your letter of inquiry to the P. M. about myself. I would just say I atn all ‘hunkey’ and hope all Rensselaer is the same. I want you to do me a favor by saying nothing about it—but that I am dead. I have some business in Indiana and do not want them to know but that it is a reality nntil I come to your place. lam well and doing well. Keep cool. “Yours respectfully. (Signed,) “W.B. S. Henkle.”

INDIANA MATTERS.

From the October apportionment of the school fund Lake county is to receive $2,060.52. A cornstalk is on exhibition at the office of the Delphi Journal which is fourteen feet nine, inches high. It is stated that forty-eight fives have been lost on the Ohio river bridge by accident sincq the work was commenced. Laporte connty takes considerable stock in the divorce business. There were fifty-five cases on the Circuit and Common Pleas dockets. The Vernon Banner claims that a negro residing in Jennings county, named Gregg Harper, is one hundred and twenty-four years old. A new paper, to be devoted to the interests of women’s rights, is soon to make its appearance in Crawfordsville, and is to be called the Avenger. One of the oldest settlers of Floyd county, Captain C. H. Meekin, says that the snow of last Tuesday waa the heaviest that has fallen in that latitude in October since 1830. The corner stone of the Second Presbyterian Church at Laporte was laid on the 18th inst., the address was made by Hon. Jasper Packard, who is a member of the church. A young man named Stanley Clarke committed suicide at Cannelton, Indiana, last week, by shooting himself through tbe head with a pistol. He belonged to one of the beHt~ flmiiließ, ajn(l was only nineteen years of age. It was a singular case of suicide, as no reason oan be assigned for the rash aot. The fearful tragedy created a great sensation in the usually quiet town of Cannelton,

..up if .i ..... " """ Miss Alathea Munroe sued Walter 0. Leed* in the Laportc Circuit Court for breach of tho marriage contract, claiming $50,000. The trial came off last week, when tho jury gave her a verdict tor $1,500. Tho Ohio ami Mississippi R. R. Company have mortgaged to Allen Campbell of Now York, and Samuel L Odell of Brook'liii, theirbranch line from North Vernon to Jeffersonville, in the sum of SBOO,OOO, to facilitate the building of the jroad. In Warsaw, in thi* State, according to the Northern lndianinn j there i* an egg on exhibition, within the ■hell of which, when broken, a snake or worm, four or five inches in length and about a quarter of an inch in diameter, was discovered. The egg was perfectly formed, with tho exception ot a small protuberance at one end of the shell, having the appearance of the tail of the worm, only that it hail acquired the consistency ot the shell. It is not known whether this strange inmate was alive or not, at the time of breaking the egg. The Attorney General is looking nfter a case in which Marklc, former Treasurer of Jasper county, drew $3,400 from the State Treasury. Nat. Cunningham was State Treasurer at the time, and now, the warrant is brought forward, and the money claimed again. The money appears to have been drawn, originally, without a warrant. Thu books show the sum to have been paid, and the question is asked, in pencil runrk on the margin, “Where is the warrant?” The question now is, who got the money, and who wrote the question about tho warrant?—lndianapolis Journul. The shipment of mules south from this section of Indiana is larger this year than in any previous year since the close ol the war. Several large droVes pass through the city daily for the stock yards at Portland, whence they are shipped by boat or rail to Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. Many horses are also being sent south from this section. It i» noticeable that the quality of the stock this year is superior to that of last year. —New Albany Commercial.

By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that Judge Osborne has ordered a special term of the Circuit to commence on Tuesday, the 14th of December. We ! presume the special session *ill occupy the week in trying the case of Robert blew art and Mary Stewart for the murder of James Tillotson. One hundred jurymen have been summoned for this case, the per d<em alone of whom for one day will amount to two hundred dollars, to say nothing about mileage. The Stewarts have already cost the county about one thousand dollars, and by the time this trial is through with, Lake county will have nearly three thousand dollars invested iu the same\ind of security.— Crown Point Reyister.

Judge Chapman made an order yesterday morning for the removal of the tollowing prisoners to the Northern Prison; Wm. J. Abrams, murder in the first degree, sentenced for life; lieed McDaniels, manslaughter, fourteen years; Beiij. Summit, assault and battery with intent to kill, two years; William Andersou and Dan. Jones, grand larceny. —lndianapolis Journal. Ben. Summit spoken of in the above paragraph is the contraband captured on Cheat Mountain by the 9th lnd. Itegt. from an Arkansas regiment. At that time lie had but the given name Ben., the boys of the Regt. christened him Summit. Ben. Was always a worthless, vicious “nigger” and the Northern Prison will be an appropriate home for him.

A letter from Wisconsin, to be found in our advertising columns, announce that among the physicians of the locality it is becoming very popular, and what is very unusual, is being adopted by them in their practice, as a cure for many diseases which they can not treat effectually in any other way. Wc understand that the immense trade carried on for several years in these medicines has during the present year nearly doubled. Their process of operation is by a thorough purification of the blood, and a consequent eradication of disease. I-29-ly. ' v .; ’
