Resignation of Treasurer Spinner.

ing Review of the 14th and 15th
Amendments.
Washington, March 29.—The Chief
Signal Officer has stmt one of his ob
servers to Georgia to investigate and
report upon the recent destructive tor
nado in that State.
The Court of Claims decided the
Arkansas Hot Springs case against the
live claimants to the property, which
remains with the United States. Judge

appeal will be taken to the Supreme
Court.
Commissary General Shiras is hope
lessly sick.
Paymaster Eckles is assigned to the
Department of the Gulf.
Treasurer Spinner has resigned, to
take effect the Ist of July. J. \V. New,
of Indianapolis, succeeds him.
The Supreme Court rendered the fol
lowing decision in the case of Miner vs.
Hoffersott—error to the Supreme Court
of Missouri. This is the case present
ing the question whether, under the
Fourteenth amendment, a woman who
is a citizen of the United States, and of
a State, is q, voter in the State, not
withstanding the provisions of the con
stitution and laws of that State coniine
the right of suffrage to men alone.
It is said that women are citizens.
They are persons, and therefore, un
der the Fourteenth Amendment, de
clared to be citizens of the State
wherein they reside; but it did not re
quire that amendment to make them
such. They were before persons and
people, and were not in terms excluded
from citizenship by the Constitution.
The Federal Constitution was ordained
by the people of the United States,
composed of the people ol: the several
States, and whoever, at the time of its
adoption, was one of the people, be
came a citizen. All children bora of
citizen parents within jurisdiction, are
themselves citizens.
The naturalization laws are reviewed
to show that women always have been
considered citizens, the same as men ;
also the laws giving jurisdiction in
Federal cases. It is then said that the
fourteenth amendment did not affect
the citizenship of women any more
than it did of men, and thus minors’
rights do not depend on it. She has
always been a citizen from her birth,
entitled to all the privileges, immuni
ties, &c., of citizenship. The amend
ment prohibited the State in which she
lives from abridging any of those
rights. Tho right of suffrage is
not made in terms one of the privileges
of the citizens. The United States has
no voters, and no one can vote for
Federal without being competent to
vote for State .officers. The elective
officers of "ho United States are
chosen directly by the voters of the
States. The amendment did not add
to the privileges or immunities of the
citizen. It simply furnished additional
guaranty for tho protection of such as
lie already had, nor is the right of suf
frage co-extensive with the citizenship
of the State. When tho Federal Con
stitution was adopted, all the States
but Rhode Island had constitutions of
their own, in not one of which were all
citizens recognized as entitled to this
right, and under all these circum
stances it cannot be for a moment
doubted that if it had beeu intended to
make all citizens of the United States
voters the powers of the Consti
tution should have so expressed that
intention, and not have left so
important a change in the condition of
citizenship, as it then existed, to im
plication. But if further evidence is
needed it is to be found in other pro
visions of the Constitution. If suf
frage is necessarily a part of the citi
zenship, then that provision of the
Constitution which gives citizens of
each State all the privileges and im
munities of citizens in the several
States would entitle the citizens of each
State to the right to vote in the several
States precisely as the citizens of those
States are. Other provisions, among
them that relating to the apportion
ment of Representatives, were cited to
the same point. But still again, after
the adoption of the Fourteenth amend
ment, it was found necessary to use in
the Fifteenth amendment the follow
ing language : “The right of citizens
of the United States to vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the United
States, or by any State, on account of
race, color or previous condition of
servitude.” The Fourteenth amend
ment had provided against any
abridgment of the privileges or
immunities of citizens, and if the right
of suffrage is one of them, why amend
the Constitution further to prevent its
being denied on account of race, color,
&e.? The duty of the United States to
guarantee to the States a republican
lorm of government is discharged in
protecting those Governments which
were recognized as being republican in
form by the Constitution when adopted.
The governments of the States being
then accepted, it must be assumed that
they are such as are to be guaranteed
The admission of new States is then
considered, and it is found that there
is nothing to favor the idea that suf
frage is a right of citizenship but every
thing to repel it. Also the restoration
of the States to the Union after the
war, none of them having provided for
female suffrage. Besides, a person who
has simply declared his intention to be
come a citizen of the United States,
may vote under circumstances in Mis
souri and other States, and this couid
not be if suffrage depended upon the
right of citizenship. The court are
unanimous in the opinion that the Con
stitution of the United States does not
confer the right of suffrage upon any
one, and that the constitutions of the
several States which commit that trust
to men alone are not necessarily void.

The Cuban Revolt—Revival News-
Conference of Bishops.
Havana, March 28.—The Diario pub
lishes a proclamation by the Captain-
General, addressed to the people of tho
Cinco Villas district. Yalmaseda says :
The insurrection is of the same char
acter now as in the beginning—a light
between civilization and barbarism.
The insurgents in less than two months
have completely destroyed forty plan
tations and burned several ranches and
settlements. They rob you, destroy
your houses, and leave your families
homeless. Society is threatened, and
it is the duty of ail to save it, some
with their wealth, others by advising
the troops of the whereabouts of the
euemy, or by furnishing such aid as
they can to the government. Even the
ladies can help with bandages and lint
for the wounded. Let all unite in one
supreme effort to end the evil which
threatens all, and society will soon see
its troubles diminish, aud the rebellion
will again retreat to its rugged moun
tains, where pursuit and hunger will
soon finish it. Rebels who repent can
still obtain pardon ; those who persist
in their criminal career will be sur
prised by death, sooner or later. Loy
alists and rebels have had opportuni
ties heretofore to know my system of
command in Cuba. Its purpose ever
was to protect the good and untiringly
pursue the bad. This policy will be
continued so long as I govern this
island in tho name of the King. An
official report states that tho .Insur
gents appeared at Las Lajo on Wendes
day last. They were pursued by live
Spanish columns, oud compelled to re
treat to the Caridad plantation, where
several were killed. On Thursday
they were again encountered at Del
gado Rancho, and lost five killed. The
damage done by this raid was limited
to three or four plantations, where no
resistance was offered.

The Confederate Monument.
Editors Constitutionalist:
As the question of the location of
tho Confederate monument has been
reopened, the writer would urge that
the site be selected upon the lot in the
Cemetery where rest a portion of tho
dead of that war.
The majority, indeed the principal
contributors to its location at the inter
section of Broad and Mclntosh streets
now admit that it would be a great ob
struction to commerce. Let any one
examine the proposed location, and he
must come to the same conclusion. If
it is placed at the centre it will only
leave a space of six feet between it and
the crossing. This is not enough to admit
the passage of oue vehicle, to say noth
ing of two vehicles going in opposite
directions, such an obstruction is with
in itself enough to prohibit its location
at the point proposed.
From the very spot where the dead
repose should the column to their
memory rise. A monument is nothing
without association, without its senti
ment, without ’the thought that the
dead whose memory it seeks to perpe
tuate repose beneath it, as the ma
jority of those who contributed to hav
ing it located on Broad street are will
ing to have it placed somewhere else,
I can see no impropriety or injustice in
the ladies making the change.
All funds given previous to the Fair
at the Masonic Hall were for the pur
pose of locating the monument at the
Cemetery; in accordance with the orig
inal provision of the constitution of the
Ladies’ Memorial Association, and the
amount paid up to the holding of the
Fair, including largely that paid at the
Fair, if we are not misinformed. At
any rate, much was paid under the im
pression that the monument was to be
placed at the Cemetery, aud we have
always felt that any change could not
well be made in good faith, to say
nothing of the very serious obstruction
of Mclntosh street. Roanoke.

Death of Rev. Joseph Clay Stiles.
The announcemeut of the death of
Rev. Joseph C. Stiles, which occurred
in this city yesterday moruing, will oc
casion regret, not only in Savannah,
but throughout the entire State, as no
man was more widely known or more
generally esteemed for his Christian
character and rare abilities than this
distinguished divine.
Rev. Mr. Stiles was born in Savan
nah, in December, 1795, and was con
sequently in the eighteenth year of his
age. In early life he entered the legal
profession, but subsequently became a
Presbyterian minister, and for half a
century had preached the gospel in
various portions of the State and coun
try, at one time officiating in the Pres
byterian churches of this city. He
seldom remained any length of time at
one place, not being regularly station
ed, and traveled a great deal, his great
usefulness lying in his eloquent pow
ers as a revivalist. Previous to the
war ho was in New Haven, Conn., and
whilst there a church was built espe
cially for him.
The deceased was tho son of Mr. Jos.
Stiles, of Savannah, and brother of Mr.
Benj. Stiles and of Hon. Wm. H. Stiles,
at one time United States Minister to
Austria, and was also a half brother to
Capt. Geo. W. Stiles and Mr. Samuel
B. Stiles and of Mrs. Wylly AVood
bridge.
In January last he came to Savannah
from Richmond, where his family are
now residing, for the benefit of his
health, which had been feeble for the
past two years—he being a sufferer
from some chronic disease of the
bowels.
For many years he acted as an evan
gelist in Georgia, and was remarkable
for the success attending his efforts as
a pulpit orator and as a revivalist, ac
complishing great results without the
appearance of sensationalism. His re
mains were sent forward to Richmond
last evening by tho Southern Express
Company.

Discovery of Tw o Human Hands—But

A small (lolgolJia was discovered on
a vacant lot, corner of Union and A’ine

some little children were at play, they

a neatly fitting black kid glove and had
been taken off at the wrist. It was in
a very good state of preservation, but
the other hand appeared somewhat de
cayed. The little folks were horrified
at their discovery, and were not long
in making known the facts. The re
port caused intense excitement among
the colored population, a large number
of wnom visited the spot. As usual
the more ignorant and supersitious

that had been “’sected by dem medical

FROM WASHINGTON.
Views of Leading Men on National
Affairs—Vice-President Wilson and
Speaker Blaine Speak Out—Repub
lican Mistakes and Expectations
—Senator Morton Nursing Butler’s
Bugaboo—Another Rebellion Es
sential to Radical Supremacy, &c.
VICE-PRESIDENT WILSON AND PUBLIC
AFFAIRS.
Washington, March 25.— The Vice-
President, it is evident, does not be
lieve in saddling played-out Congress
men upon the public treasury. In con
versation he has expressed himself as
not recognizing the Go /eminent offices
as asylums for broken down and extinct
politicians. He says what the Repub
lican party needs now is an infusion of
new blood into its leadership. He
thinks now there is too much dead tim
ber iu it. At, this very time if one-third
of the office-holders in Washington and
throughout the country were dismissed
and their places supplied with new men
from the people, and more thoroughly
imbued with the spirit of Republican
progress, it would be of great party
advantage. There should be very gen
eral changes in the offices every four
years. The Vice-President thinks that
his Springfield letter cured some of the
demoralization which has beeu over
taking the Republican party since last
year. He thinks now that if the ener
gies of the Republican party are prop
erly concentrated upon general princi
ples and issues, instead of being divided
aud split up on local differences, thei e
would be not the least doubt of success
iu 1876.
SPEAKER BLAINE ON NATIONAL POLITICS.
Speaker Blaine, in his conversations
on political matters, leaves the infer
ence that, although he has strong hopes
of a Republican triumph at the next
Presidential election, he cannot regard
it as at all assured. Mr. Blaine has
not much to say in regard to the per
sonal attacks made upon him by a por
tion of the Radical press iu this city
and elsewhere because of tho some
what conservative attitude which lie
has of late assumed. He does inti
mate, however, that ho does not con
sider the Republican party iu that
flourishing condition which makes it
wise or expedient to drive from it those
who have contributed to build it up.
It is also very certain that Mr. Blaine
does not believe that the Northern
heart can be fired by the insane anti
mendacious ravings relative to anew
rebellion in the South.
Shortly After the passage of the Po
land Arkansas resolution Gen. Butler
said to Mr. Blaine, “Our people (the
carpet-baggers and the negroes) will
now be slaughtered.” Mr. Blaine re
plied that he did not for one moment
believe any such thing. He considers
now that the people, not only of Ar
kansas, but of the other States of the
South, are on their good behaviour,
and that they are not likely to offer
any excuse for further Federal inter
ference with their affairs. Without
some overt action on the part of the
people of the South, the North will
sustain no more interference with the
internal affairs of that section.
WHAT SENATOR MORTON IIAH TO SAY.
Senator Morton seems to take a more
gloomy view of affairs than any other
of the Republican leaders. In private
conversation ho imputes the same
dreadful purposes to the Southern peo
ple and the same murderous instincts
as lie charges upon them iu his public
utterances. He insists that he enter
tains no doubt that the South means to
iuaugiTrate another rebellion. He was
asked whethei he had any fear as to its
being put down, and with a gloomy
shako of the head, ho said he did not
know, that the North might hesitate to
pile up another great debt and another
load of taxation, to say no tiling of
other sacrifices, even for tho sake of
saving the Union.
Senator Morton may bo sincere in his
belief in this ridiculous idea of anew
rebellion. He is certainly verj' persis
tent in the expression of such belief.—
But it is well to record in tiiis same
connection the words of another shin
ing light of the Radical party, express
ed also in conversation in the presence
of witnesses, “Unless wo can get up
another civil war the Republican party
is gone.”
A New England Senator came to
Senator Bayard and said, “We” (mean
ing the people of tho North) “can never
consent that tho South shall control
this government again.” It is perhaps
not unnatural that the Radical leaders
should view with jealousy and alarm
the return to public life of the cultured
class of
SOUTHERN MEN
who yielded so much power in the
national councils before the war. It
lessens measureably their own influ
ence and importance. But if our free
institutions are to last, and these men
of the South are the choice of the peo
ple, their participation in State affairs
cannot be prevented, nor is it to tho in
terest and well-being of the country
that it should, nor is there any reason
to believe that the New England Sen
ator had the right to speak for the
North iu what he said. On this point
another Northern Senator, a Democrat,
said to-day that it forcibly recalled to
his mind the incident told by the old
historians of
OLIVER CROMWELL AND JOHN HAMPDEN.
Charles the First, proceeding from
one arbitrary act to another, finally is
sued an edict stopping the emigration
of those who were fleeing from his ty
ranny to the American Colonies. It is
related that Cromwell and Hampden
were on. board a ship in tho Thames,
bound for Virginia, when this edict
was pnblished, and they were com
pelled to disembark. But for this
edict Charles would probably have
never lost his head nor his crown, and
would have died in obscurity iu Vir
ginia. So now, tho Republican leaders
of the North, who waged a four
years’ bloody and terrible war to pre
vent the Southern leaders from leaving
the Union, would like to inaugurate
another war through the apprehension
that these same men whom they would
not let go may become their rulers.

Letter from Athens.
Athens, Ga., March 26, 1875.
Editor Constitutionalist : Your cor
respondent, after a pleasant journey,
reached this flourishing little city by
the 4p. m. train. Found everything in
a Highly prosperous condition. Athens
appears to have passed through the
trying ordeal of the recent panic with
less injury than any other place of its
size we have yet visited, only three or
four failures iu business having oc
curred. The planters in this section
are-carrying on a brisk trade with tbe
merchants, and, notwithstanding the
lateness of the Spring, seem to antici
pate a good crop. More corn and less
cotton is the order of the day.
Ihe grading on the Northeastern
Railroad is finished as far as the Air

road between the Air Line and Rabun
Gap has been commenced.
COLLEGE MATTERS.
The recent rumors going the rounds
of the Press, in regard to the bad disci
pline of the University and immorality
of the students, have proved to be
totally without foundation. The oldest
citizens, together with the faculty, de
clare that the moral tone of the students
was never higher. Nevertheless several
things might be said which were not
said.
We learn that the several classes of
the University have passed resolutions
to the effect that any student detected
in the act of cheating in anv exami
nation siiall be immediately “expelled
from his class.
Part of the arms recently granted to
the University by the State have been
received, ami the students are regu
larly drilled under Captains Cliarlou
nier and Bonham. Great interest is
manifested in this department.
The new college building, erected by
the $25,000 given by the city of Athens
is an ornament to the campus and a
monument to the liberality of the citi
zens.
The Georgia University Magazine,
many years extinct, has recently beeu
revived under the auspices of the
students and Faculty. Does this look
like retrograding? Yet the enemies of
the University and some little petty
newspapers whose columns are over
empty, take extraordinary delight in
scandalizing the institution. The new
Chancellor is quite popular with the
students. So far, so good.
Dr. Speer was elected by the trustees
to fill the Belles Lettres chair, made
vacant by the resignation of the vener
able and highly competent ex-Chancel
lor Lipscomb. From what we learn,
he seems to have started out on an
original aud rather an erratic plan,
in accordance with his genius. He has
made the profound discovery that
Bain’s elementary rhetoric is much
better suited to the well-advanced
Senior than to the unlettered Soph,
while Lord Karnes’ masterly Treatise
on Criticism has beeu thrown aside as
utterly worthless. Little did Mr.
Bain, while composing his modest little
■work on the Elements, dream that it
would ever be brought to such prom
inence ! What a reflection on Lord
Ivames! But “ such is life.”

Did the genius of any great dram

elsewhere; but here the stage people
manifested a far more wholesome re
gard for propriety than some members
of the audience did, and we are glad to
say that they resisted invitations to
make beasts of themselves for the
gratification of morbid curiosity.
[Editorial in Macon Telegraph.
Sad.
We regret to hear that considerable
disappointment was experienced by
many Benedicks at the nature of tho
performances at Ralston Hall, on Fri
day night. After tearing themselves
from the delights and comforts of slip
pers and dressing gowns, and the sweet
prattle and loving words of wives and
little ones, it was too bad, they thought,
to find so little that was naughtily nice
in the “Can-Can.” They complained
that the dresses were too long and the
dancers too modest. They fondly hoped
for a big revel iu the results of contra
band contortions aod suggestive salu
tations. As one of them remarked, al
most with tears in his eyes ; “ Only to
the garter after all!” Then he walked
off mournfully humming: “ AVhero are
now the hopes I cherished?”
Several passengers on the lower Mis
sissippi were attracted by the aligators
basking in the sunshine. “Are they
amphibious, Captain ? ” asked a looker
on. “ Amphibious, thunder ! ” an
swered tho enthusiastic officer, “ they’ll
eat a hog a minute! ”
A good tiling was perpetrated by a
well-known witty Fourth street mer
chant, the other day, at a dinner at the
Planters’ House. Said a companion to
him, reading a bill of fare : "What is
this sirloin of beef ala finaneiere?”
Our witty friend replied : “ I suppose
that it is cut from a Wall street bull.”
