SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 28,1869.
Fifteenth Amendment in Indiana.
A special dispatch to the Louisville Conrier-
Jonrnal, dated at Indianapolis the 24th, says
farther returns from the special election held
yesterday show that, in almost every instance,
the resigning members of the Legislature were
reflected without opposition. Senator Henry’s
district was the only one in which the Radicals
made a determined fight, having gerrymandered
it by the apportionments of 1867 since Mr.
Henry’s regular election, so as to cut out the
Democratic counties and secure a Radical ma
jority of abont 400. Thfifitwas thought, would
secure them the district at the special election,
and accordingly they pnt up their best man,
Cob Axbnry Steele, a pronounced advocate of
the fifteenth amendment, and made a distinct
issue thereon, and the action of the Democrat
members in resigning to defeat its ratification.
The result was a complete triumph for Henry,
he being elected by at least COO majority. This
is the only case which can be regarded as a com
plete test of the sentiments of the people of the
State on negro suffrage, and it is believed that
on a square vole it would be defeated by at least
75,000 majority. In every county in the State
many Republicans ore regarded as voting with
tho Democrats. ___
C'allionn and Balter Countlea.
We have jnst returned, says the Bainbridge
Sun, of Thursday, from a wading trip through
the counties above named and can safely say
they are blest with the largest amount of water
privileges of any_ lands we have beheld lately.
They are certainly in a better condition for the
purposes of navigation, fishing, and swimming
than they are for cultivation. The fanners are
greatly behind, owing to the immense quantities
of rain that has fallen during the present and
past month. The freedmen are working well,
so far as we could learn in both counties. We
were glad to find, that the citizens did not have
cotton on the brain very extensively, but wero
planting corn enough to bread them.
Btrrnto Sr. Dojmioo.—The friends of this
measure have hired Barton, the husband of
Fannie Fern, to write a book advocating it
Like his lifo of Aaron Burr and the book he
wrote trying to prove that Butler stole no spoons
when he was in New Orleans, it is a rich produc
tion. Underpaid him well for his labor. Among
a thousand choioe expressions in that book, he
said, Jackson in New Orleans in 1814 and Butler
there in 1862, were “history repeating itself.”
Hois the beat engineer of machine books now
living. Should any friend of the devil want a
book written in his defence, address James Bar.
ton, care Hew York Ledger.
Comm bales this year, it is reported, con
tain from four to five per cent less weight of
cotton than they did in 1867, though the gross
woight remains the same. The difference is so-
counted for by the heavier quality of the beg
ging and roping which are used in making up
the bales. It is asserted that this device, which
gives a profit of about fifty or sixty cents per
bale (the difference between the prioe of the
cotton and the material which envelops it) will
reduce tho estimated aggregate weight of the
crop at least one hundred thousand bales.
“Kin End or tots Uaivxiwirr or Sooth G.iko-
uma.—Radicalism, says the Edgefield Adverti
ser, has completely killed the University of
South Carolina. The University bill, which has
lately become a law, provides that there shall be
no distinction in this institution on aooount of
color. And among trustees lately elected, are
two negroes, Cardoza and Bose man. Of eourae
this puta the finishing stroke to tho whole con
cern ; for certainly tho young men of South
Carolina will not sit in classes with negroes.
This is wisj and politio legiialation with « ven-
Ths Bsxbzdsht ok Alaska.—President Grant,
in s conversation with the Committee on Terri
tories, made a sharp remark upon the Alaska
d&tdrbanoes. He said he saw by the papers that
a war had broken out there between the Indians
and the troops. If that proved, to bo so, be said
ho thought the best way to end it wonld be to
withdraw the troops, and there being nothing
elso there for tho Indians to fight, the war must
necessarily atop.
To me iNvxsnOATxn.—Wo learn, aays the At
lanta Constitution, that at the next session of
Fulton Superior Court the attention of the grand
jury will bo directed to the character of tho tel
egraphic dispatches sent from this city to the
New York Tribune and other sheets. As they
are invariably .a tissue of falsehoods, the parties
sending these dispatches lie designedly, and for
a purpose. Rich developments are expected
before tho grand jury.
Tins Mo.voolxah Rack Excluded. — In the
House of Representatives recently, Mr. John
son, of California, moved to suspend the roles for
the purpose of introducing s resolution declar
ing that the House, in passing the joint resolu
tion proposing tho fifteenth amendment to the
Constitution, did not mean that Chinamen and
other branches of the Mongolian race should be
allowed to vote. It was negatived bjr yeas 42,
nays 106.
Oft fob Florida.—Company E, Artillery, of
the United States forces stationed in Atlanta,
says the Constitution of tho 27th inst., left yes
terday evening by the Macon and Western, rail-*
road for St. Augustine, Fla. They were evi
dently ‘ "spiling for a fight,” as two of them had
a rough encounter before leaving. By tho way,
have anticipated movements towards Cuba any
thing to do with their going to that point ?
A Nxw Life of Btbos.—The Italian Countess,
Guiccioli, has just published a book entitled
“My Recollections of Lord Byron,’! The litera
ry world is familiar with the story of theintima :
cy between the great poet and the beautifnl
Countess, and the announcement that she in
tended writing this book arrested a great deal
of attention. The authoress is not an impartial
historian, yet people will read what she has to
say of the man who sang like an angel and sin
ned like a devil.
Axothxr Fish Stobt. — The editor of the
Knoxville Press and Herald acknowledges the
receipt of two photographs of Vf>ctar John Fish,
the big baby of Hawkins county, Tennessee.
The young gentleman is twenty months old, and
weighs fifty-one pounds. He wears a hat of 7J
measure, close fit.
Haxos Fibs.—Some how the legislation of
CongnMT for re-re constructing hangs fire.
What is the matter ? Is it possible Congress
is taking the sober second thought? We hope
so: but probably it is too much to hope for in
these cross-grained and disjointed times.
Newton Cocurt.—It is estimated, says the
Atlanta Constitution, that $450,000 worth of
fertilisers has been received at Covington Depot
within the last few months. If this be applied
to corn, what immense benefit will it be to that
county.
A Good Quotation.—Indignant Indiana Dem
ocrats are quoting from Gen. Toombs to the ef
fect that “outrages against the Constitution
have accumulated with such rapidity as to fa
tigue the indignation of the people.'
Cheap, Abudaat sod Reliable labor.
Gar Texas correspondent imparts a valuable
nerret—how to make agricultural labor cheap,
abundant and reliable. It is not by importing
mere Congoes, or sending after Chinamen,
B ' 1 From Washington.
Washington, March 27.-—In an audience with a
__ ^ v Tnhrad delegation of Republicans and Conservativee,
Dutch, Scotch or Irish; or'writing eaaaysbn the Grant yesterday reiterated his opposition to the
scarcity of labor and the rapid decrease of the
freedmen. He says the way to procure cheap
and reliable labor is to go to work yourselves,
and abandon at once all idea of flanking the
primaTcuise by immigration schemes;
Our correspondent's head is level on that
point. We have not a doubt there are twenty
to forty thousand men now in Georgia, 'who, if
they would take hold of the plough and the hoe
manfully, and lead off in the grand enterprise
of making cotton, would find themselves the
cheapest and most reliable laborers they ever
employed. They would not only bo the best
hands on the plantation, but vastly improve all
the others, by their countenance and example.
We think when a planter hires himself in this
way and has, say eight or ten other hands em
ployed, be will find his own labor equal to that
of at least three of them in pushing forward
-plantation work; and besides all that, enjoy life
much better than if he lounged abont and mere
ly overlooked the labor of others. He wonld
cape all listlessness, ennui—ail upbraidings of
conscience on account of idleness; be wonld get
plenty of wholesome exercise in' the open sir,
and eat and sleep with a purpose and heartiness
he never knew before.
If one could only persuade all these idle hands
to hire out to themselves, it might possibly add
twenty thousand to the operative force of the
State, and probably much more than a hundred
thousand bales to the cotton prodnot, worth say
ten millions of dollar*—a nice, comfortable sum
for a Christmas frolic, which they would enjoy
all the more for having been busy during the
ymAi' r
Let the planters, one and all, take the earliest
opportunity to employ these idle hands. Let
them get rid of the nonsense that they “can't
stand the sun,” or that there is anything undig
nified or unbecoming in good downright field
labor. Why any man should conceive it to be
more discreditable to wield the hoe or the
plough than the yard-stick or the quill, or
weights and measures, is a point of practical
philosophy too deep for ns to fathom.
To our taste there is not on earth so interest
ing and ennobling an occupation as that of the
farmer. We hope , the day will come before
long when the hills and valleys of Georgia shall
bo tilled by a white husbandry, made up of the
sons of tho soil, and dotted all over with the
bright eottages of the industrious proprietors—
the homes of peace, plenty and contentment,
and of every domestic, social and religions
virtue.
This is the most valuable population on earth.
These constitute the strength of the State and
the Qhureh, and the bulwark of society. This
great middling class combine all the elements
most respectable in manhood, and hold out the
strongest assurance of social order, progress and
prosperity.' Trained in this school of hardy
physical and mental application and solid moral
and religious principle, it always produces the
brightest developments of intellectual and moral
eminence. Most of the great men and women
of Amenca have sprung from this class, aid we
must look to it mainly for the political salvation
of the State and country, if Heaven has destined
for Its ft brighter and better career.
The Fight for the Mastery.
Appearances indicate that the battle for the
mastery between General Grant and the Senate,
on the tenuroof-office bill, will end in the defeat
of the latter. The Senate baa been, so far,
driven from every position it has taken on this
bill. First it refused absolutely to repeal or
modify the bill, and stood upon that for a month.
Driven from that position, it fell back in good
order upon a suspension during the Congres
sional recess. Defeated there again, it retreat
ed to the line of a suspension during Grant's
administration, and here is where it stands for
the present.
After taking this list position, the Senate sent
overs flag of truce to Grant, and begged for a
compromise. We find this account of the em
bassy and its results in the dispatches of the
Louisville Courier Journal:
Radical Senators went to Gen. Grant Thurs
day night, and said if a vote were taken in the
Senate on the House bill for the simple repeal
of the tennre^f-offiee law, that it would prob
ably pass by tho vote of the Democratic Sen
ators, who would thus have all the credit of
fulfilling the President's main desire, and at the
same time place the bulk of Radical Senators in
an unpleasant position. These Radical Senators
proposed that the Senate should recede from
its position, somewhat, and that the President
should do the same. Grant, after much thought,
agreed to the compromise thus proposed, and
consented to take it in the shape of the bill that
passed the Senate on Friday. What the House
will do of course remains to be seen, but But
ler has mustered, it is said, sixty Radicals for
repeal, who, with fifty-seven Democrats, will go
for repeal and defeat this so^alled compromise
bill. Nothing bnt the “eo-hesive power of pub-
lie plunder” will save the day for the Radical
party on this important measure.
■Whether this account be true or not, we have
seen what has been the action of the House on
this compromise. They killed it by a vote of
seventy to ninety-nine, and sent back to the
Senate the original House bQl, demanding an
rniwrwliHnWttl and flntl repeal Of tho iaUUTe-of-
office bill; and that, we think, the Senate has
got to come to, however bitter the dose.
Thus, we see, old King Csnens, like the au
thor of all evil, is not always true to his adhe
rents. The Senate forced that iniquitous and
unconstitutional bill originally upon the country
under stress of caucus despotism. The l same
body has cancussed time and again to maintain
it in force, bnt meanwhile the old King Pagan’s
teeth had been drawn, and some of the Senate
Radicals actually spit in his face. Congress is
already taking the road of Cromwell's Romp
Parliament Good-bye to “congressional su
premacy.” A long road is before yon, and it
will land yon as far the other side of the line of
Marine News.

An old citizen of Baltimore said the other day,
The wealth of Baltimore has changed hands
almost entirely during my memory. Those who
were known for their wealth have passed away,
and the leading men now were poor working
men when I was young.” This may be said of
almost all our cities and towns.

inquiring for him, anti firing his influence in
their behalf with their own friends, the Radicals.

Death of T. Bigelow Lawrence.
This somewhat famous and still more notori

a very short illness. .-.It-. sgii.'»■ >
He was a son of Abbott Inwrence, tho rich
old Boston millionaire and President Taylor's
Minister to England. Twenty-odd years ago
Bigelow Lawrence married Miss Bailie Ward, of
Kentucky, perhaps the most beautiful woman
ever barn in America. She had intellect, edu
cation and refinement eqnal and superior to her
personal charms. The marriage was not a con
genial one. The famous Kentucky belle saw
strait-laced, puritanical Boston,- and hated it.
She found her husband a sordid miser, refusing
to allow her to live in that style of magnifioence
which ho could well afford an^ which she de
manded as hor due. A divorce followed, and all
the world rang with the scandal. Bailie return
ed to Kentucky and married Dr. Hunt, a rela
tive of Henry Clay, with whom sbo lived quite
happily up to his death a year ago.
