NEWS AND GOSSIP BT X'AIL.
Proclaiming the Fifteenth Amendment
-Caution of President Grant.
A Washington telegram, of the 4lh instant,
to the New York Tribune, says:
The question of issuing a proclamation of thc
ratification of the Fifteenth amendment was
discussed at the Cabinet session to-day, and
the course to be pursued decided upon. Sec?
retary Fish stated that there were twenty
seven States officially certified as having adopt?
ed thc amendment, nut including New York
and Indiana, and some slight informalities in
some of the certificates ot these twenty-seven
States were being properly arranged. He then
read the seventh section ot the Reconstruc?
tion act, passed April 10, 1607, as Avows:
".That, the proceedings in any ol said States
shall not be deemed final or operative, as a
complete restoration thereof, until their ac?
tions respectively shall be approved by Con?
gress." He then argued that Texas and Geor?
gia could not be counted until Congress ap?
proved their constitution, and admitted them
as States. He also stated that the certificate
from Texas bad not yet been received. The
President then announced that he would not
Issue the proclamation until Texas and Geor?
gia were admitted, so that the twenty-eight
States, would be named without counting New
Yorker Indiana.
The Traffic In Cad.ctsb.lps-The Pica of
Covode-The Plea in Respect to Butter?
field's Appointment-Thc Root or thc
Evil-What is Whispered About Lo?
gan-What an Honest Radical Leader
Alight Ito.
A Washington letter of the Gth instant, to
the Baltimore Gazette, says :
The ground taken in these letters that thc
wholesale appointments l?7 the Executive of
relatives and connections to office is "a wrong
. not less grievous" tuan selling cadctships, 1
am proud lo see. is adopted by uo less au au?
thority than tho recognized organ of Congress.
People will doubtless be surprised lo read tho
following paragraph which I have taken bodily,
anti in totalem verbis, from thu Chronicle ?f
this morning:
"The Investigation into th" distribution of
tin' cadelships will du more good iliau lo ex?
pose iii?- few men in the Forty-first Congress
who sold the trust confided io Hiern tor so
lunch money. It will slop iii?; favoritism by
which leading ltolitlciaiis uud milers provided
tor their relation*. Thal i> ?i wrong not less
grievous than bribery itself, and it should
not only be arrested, bul iiermuiieiitly mired."
It might have been added thal evin the pal- ,
try excuse ol some of Hie tralllekt-rs in cadet
ships, namely, that they expended tho pro- '
cords of theil' bribery lu the. interest of J
Radical supremacy, is not available to the Pro-1
sident. Wo no win-re see it even alleged thal i
a single cent of thu vast amount of donations
received by him, tor which he rewarded the |
giver with Ult' highest posts in the conni: ". I
was e. en spent for charitable or partisan pur?
poses* In other respects, the very plea- put in
ovsuch men as Covode, are borrowed from that
interj oem] by inc Radical press to exculpate Mw
President from complicity in the gold swin?
dle. General Grant is not held responsible,
forsooth, for the acts ol Butterfield, for
thc reason that he had transferred the
authority to appoint, In that case, to his
brother-in-law, Corbin ! If even the almost
countless kegs of gold in thc vaults of the sub
treasury at New York had been spirited away,
now, therefore, could his excellency become
accountable ? Or if, by a connivance between
Corbin, Butterfield and Fisk, the weight of the
government was brought to bear In favor of a
gigantic swindle upon the people, and to thc
detriment of the public credit, what had his
Excellency to do with it ? The appointment of
Butterfield was not his act. He nad made lt a
perquisite of his kinsman ! Is this not the
Identical defence of Covode, except that Co
vode was not guilty additionally nf nepotism ?
For reasons known only to himself, he chose
to deliver over to a friend the power placed in
his hands by act of Congress to nominate a
cadet. Allowing offices to be personal re?
quisites, is lt the business or the duty, under
the present national ruling, for such an ap?
pointing power to meddle with the matter
after transfer, or to see that no money ls to be
forthcoming ? Covode's skirts are clear, and
are so declared lo be by the Sub-Committee on
Military Affairs, because he had not sold the
place himself, but merely put it in the power
of another man to sell it !
I observed, the other day, that thc root of
the evil lay in the supineness of the people to
the monstrous Inuovatlons upon thc morals of
the country by General Grant. So far as his
example could influence the political world
herc, it has operated to make politicians in
power, high and low and universally, a set of
grasping and unscrupulous traffickers in pub?
lic offices, and to produce in thc minds of tough
hides and tougher consciences the firm belief
that the only legitimate and proper usc of a
government Iles in its liability to be plunder?
ed. If offices of all kinds are held to be the
mere personal perquisites of those in whom
the constitution places the power ef appoint?
ment for the benefit of the public, the question
ls settled, add what the Military Committee
has done is a sheer and monstrous injustice to
thc few they were organized to convict. I
must confess that I was of the number of those
who hoped that General logan and his com?
mittee "meant business." I would fain still
have hoped. But, as the devil, who ls good to
his own, will have it, it is whispered that
the administration hold in their hands
damaging documentary evidence against
the worthy chairman of the committee. Under
such circumstances the "Investigation" must
necessarily end in a lizzie. If there bc an hon?
est man on the Radical side in either brach ol
Congress, with the nerve, genius and power to
ferret ont and impartially expose the preva?
lent corruption-tracing them to the fountain
head-the next Presidency awaits him. To
purge the government thoroughly of Its ac?
knowledged impurity, or at least to lally
arouse the people of the whole country to the
enormity of the misdemeanors of those they
esteem their public servants, would entitle
any man to the highest honors of tho State.
To the profligacy of the times is to be attribu?
ted all the other vlllanles of officials, and the
tyranny under which whole sections of the
country are now groaning. In deference to
such a statesman, be he whom he may, there
is no Democrat in the land who would not
step aside.
Whatever the committee may yet do in thc
matter of public bribery, it may bc safely said
that this whole matter is beginning to excite
public attention.
That Disgraceful Massacre.
A telegram to thc Boston Advertiser says:
In the matter of thc Piegnn massacre, Gene?
ral Sully writes to thc Indian Bureau express?
ing grave doubts whether thc bands surprised
and murdered had taken any part in the late
depredations. Lieutenant W. B. Pease, thc
agent of the Blackfeet tribe, sends a full report
to Commissioner Parker, which puts a worse
light upon thc matter than the first report
through Vincent Colyer. After giving some
figures recently presented by that gentleman,
he proceeds:
"Out of 219 belonging to thc Red Horn band,
only 56 survived. Among these are 9 young
men who escaped during- the attack, and 5
who were away hunting. The lives of 18 wo?
men and 19 children, (none of them more than
three years of age, au J many of them much
younger) some of whom were wounded, were
spared by the soldiers."
The affair is looked upon at thc Interior Dc-1
partaient as the most disgraceful butchery lu
the annals of our dealings with thc Indians,
as, in one respect, it is blacker than thc Cov?
ington massacre, the band being terribly af?
flicted with the smallpox-deaths averaging
at the time of the attack one in thirty-six
dally. General Logan, on account of this
affair, sustained, as it appears, by Generals
Sheridan and Sherman, will ask his committee
to strike out the clause In the Military bill
transferring the Indian Bureau to the War De?
partment.

THE FINANCES OE VIRGINIA.
RICHMOND, March 8.
In the Legislature a message was received
from the Governor on thc finances. He shows
the debt of the 5.tate ls forty-five millions eight
hundred and seventy-two thousand. This debt,
he thinks, can be reduced by selling ont the
State's Interest in thc railroads, which would
bring to the treasury over ten million. He re?
commends funding all the liabilities of the
State except tho foreign debt, and tile issue of
new bonds to run from ten to thirty years,
with thc interest payable semi-annually in New
York. Taxation should be so levied that the
Interest on this funded debt should bc paid
with unvarying regularity. Referring to thc
proposition for relief Irom debts, he r-c mi
inends that no salc3 of property for debt in?
curred before tho close of thc war shall bc
made under execution, unless thc property
shall bring its assessed value, fie recommends
that thc money accruing f'-om the college land
grant of tho United States shall be divided be?
tween thc colleges for thc white and colored
equally.

NUMBER III.
DONALDSON, DUNOAK, GREENE, BOTT.
These four white Radical senators, repre?
senting respectively the counties of Chester?
field, ?nlon, Orangeburg and Collelon. may
be classed as silent members. Duncan and
Greene have uever spoken that wc are aware
of; Donaldson very little, and Hoyt still les?.
Donaldson spent more time, or as much at
least, last session at home as In the Senate
chamber. Donaldson ls a collector of Internal
revenue, and Hoyt commissioner of public
buildings. None of the four will rotke any
mark at legislating. Hoyt, Donaldson and
Greene are Northerners, and Duncan a native
of South Carolina,
HAYES, HAYNE, JILLSON, JOUNSTON.
E. S. J. Hayes ls a native of South Carolina,
and represents Lexington County. Ho made
one speech last session, then delivering an
eulogy upon Judge Boozer. He Is a hard?
working committeeman. Harry E. Haynels
avery bright mulatto, and represents Marlon
County, to which place he went after the war.
He served in the Federal army, ls very proud
of his "war record," and refers to lt frequent?
ly. He does not speak often. When inter
tercstcd in a subject he ls very obstinate and
struggles to the last. Justins K. Jillson ls
State superintendent of educat ion and senator
from Kershaw County. He speaks very
little, but is very watchful of bills,
more, apparently, for the purpose of hav?
ing them com trn ; ted grammatically than lor
any other reason. Ho is a Northerner. Wm.
E. Johnston is a clergyman and a senator from
Sumter. He is of mixed blood. He was a
chaplain In one of the Federal regiments. He
states that he was captured by the Confede?
rates and was being carried across Mayo's
Bridge into Richmond, but being informed that
he would bc murdered when he got into the
city, he Jumped off of the bridge into the river,
and managed to make his escape through the
lines. He is quiet, good-humored, makes few
speeches, and all of them brief, but asks nume?
rous questions, seemingly, for the purpose of
creating amusement. In which he succeeds.
! He is confident of re-election.
C. P. LESLIE
ls the "erratic senator from Barnwell," as he
ls properly designated "by his senatorial asso?
ciates. If thc Senate were to incl to-mor?
row and the "special order" on the day's cal?
ender was a bill to ascertain whether Leslie
was a lunatic, a knave, or a fool, it would bc
difficult to foretell thc result of thc volo, and
lt would bc but ordinary prudence for those
betting upon the question to "hedge" ns
much as possible. There ls certainly a variety
of opinions among thc senators. Corbin and
Maxwell and one or two others have, in their
scats stated that he was crazy; Wlrabush and
others have asserted several times that ho was
a knave, and on one occasion Leslie said that
he had not made a fool of himself, lo
which Nash" replied : "No, that you haven't,
for God saved you thc trouble." Leslie
ls a nallve of Brooklyn, and during thc
war represented that elly in the New
York Legislature. Refloated South after thc
war and lodged somewhere In Barnwell Coun?
ty, became a magistrate and then a senator,
and afterward land commissioner, nc ls of a
quick, nervous temperament,and speaks quick?
ly, loudly, disconnectedly, and apparently very
earnestly. He ls very fond of using odd e.c
pressions, for Instance : In speaking of Un?
colored men trying to run a colored man's
party, he said lt was very much like going
down hill In an old wagon-ll wlbblcd and ll
wobbled, and you didn't know whether you
were going to the bottom or to thc devil. On an?
other occasion he spoke of thc objection .South
Carolinians had to Yankees, and said : They
would not bc satisfied with any of them; some
of them wouldn't bo satisfied with angels.
When the angel Gabriel blows h s trumpet
they will swear that lt Isn't Ulm, but sonic
old Yankee bbwing c tin horn. All of bis
speeches were filled with just such sen?
tences. Up to two or three weeks pre?
vious to tho adjournment, he had moro In?
fluence In thc Senate than any one, excepting
Corbin. But about the Hine mentioned, his
Radical associates became suspicious of him,
especlully the colored portion, who asserted
that he was trying to form a "third party." lt
is generally believed that he resigned thc office
of land commissioner because forced by Gov?
ernor Scott, who feared bis Influence among
thc colored people ol the State. His motto ls:
"What's the use of a State being a Slate un?
less it can take care of ils statesmen." Thc
Brooklyn papers have several times written
ot Leslie, making bim out a very bad charac?
ter. On one occasion, as thc story goes, he
was asked if these articles would not Injure
him ? "No," replied he, "I, like a great many
others of tile Northern men down here,
have reason to bc thankful that our con?
stituents can't read." As regards Leslie's poli?
tics, it is difficult to place him. He was origi?
nally a Democrat, then a Republican; when he
was turned out of the Legislature, he avowed
himself a Democrat; when he returned, he was
a Radical; ac the commencement of thc last
session he was a bitter Radical; at its close a
Conservative Republican, or something. It is
said that he "will stick to a Mend ihrough
thick and thin." With all of lils faults there
arc few men who have thc moral courage
to make tho speech that he did on tho last
night of thc session-a Tull synopsis ol' which
was published in Tnt: NEWS.
LUNNEY, MONTUOMBKY, MAXWELL.
John Lunney, a native of tlic North, is thc
Radical senator from Darlington. Ile spoke
very little, was frequently absent, but when
present worked earnestly for his constituents.
C. W. Montgomery ls president pro tem of the
Senate and presided Hie whole ol' la-*t session,
making a very good presiding officer, lie ls a
nal i ve ol'South Carolina, and Ls senator fruin
Newberry, il. Ji Maxwell, colored, senator from
Marlboro' [mys ?nore attention tu his dress
than any other senator. Perhaps, in doing
thi< he forgot lo "brush up" menially. Il?- does
liol speak orien, and when he iloes, makes
even his colored friends blush for him. The
white senators silling in rear ol'him make a
great deal of tjulel fun of iii m while he is
speaking, and tho colored senators seem thor?
oughly ashamed of him. Ile ls school teacher
in one ol'I ?ie free continua schools ol'lhc Slate,
and also school commis-inm-r lor Marlboro'
County. He ls a "short term senator," and lt
is not believed thal he trill be returned.
WM. REVKItl.Y NASH,
the colored senator from Richland County, is
a tall, black mun, a fair specimen ol' n South
Carolina negro. Wim no morejeuucaiion mau
the bare knowledge of reading^nd writing, he
makes a much better senator than many oth?
ers of his race who enjoy equatf legislative hon?
ors and have had greater advantages, he is a
strong advocate of the 1 'equal rights doctrine,"
and several times has warned the carpet-bag
senators that the "Sirocco cometh," that "it
would be at flood-tide about next summer." It
is amusing to watch Nash when a meausre ls
first Introduced In the Senate. He sits and
gazes straight in front of him, his face wears
no expression whatever but that of complete
stuDldity. Thus he sits and gazeB for a few
minutes, when suddenly his eye brightens, his
face assumes a cheerful expression, and If no
one has the floor he rises and expresses his
opinion upon the subject, stating that he bas
"Just been looking into lt," which ls about the
truth of thc matter. From his appearance
when weighing lt, he has mentally placed thc
subject in front of him and viewed it
In all lights. Nash's views upon a question
are generally good, although expressed In
very bad language. He generally tells an an?
ecdote to illustrate his point Theso anec?
dotes are'homely, but certainly lito tho point."
Fof Instance: The paying of salaries to the
school commissioners was under discussion.
Nash objected to the paying of a higher salary
than $600 per annum, Baying substantially: "Mr.
Speaker, this way weare tal king about reminds
mc of an old story about an old planter of this
county, who owned a colored woman, who
had a good many children. Well, every week
he furnished this woman with a large quantity
of bread and meat, amply sufficient, as he
thought, to supply the wants of herself and
children. Every Hmo ho saw tho children
.their mouths looked greasy, as If they
had had a plenty of moat; but they were
always complaining that they didn't get
enough. Well, he determined to watch
and see what was dono with the meat.
Well, hu did watch, and saw tho mother take
out the day's supply, cat lt herself, and then
rub thc mouths ol tho children with the skin.
Well, now, Mr. Speaker, lt seems to me, that
this plan of paying tho school commissioners
high salaries will result In depriving the school
ci?Uism of many benefit - of thc State fund,
I which, otherwise, they would receive. In fact,
it is permitting tho school commissioners to
eat all the meat, and then to grease the mouths
of thc school children with tho skin." Nash is
very popular with tho colorod people of his
county,' but whllo they volo for him, they do
not believe much In thc soundness of his poli?
tics, and frequently designate platforms for bim.
The last one they made. It was a large wooden
shoe about two feet long (Nash hus a long
foot) on the sole of which was written : "Nash's
Platform," which doubtless muant thal he
etood upon a platform In which he was most
Interested. Previous to and during tho war
Nash was a porter at Hunt's hotel In Columbia.

Another Account of the Scene In th?
Gold Room.
The Herald says :
The Gold Room was a place of most exti
ordinary excitement. Thc familiar founts
in the centre of that great resort of the u
tamable bulls and bears plashed as peaceful
as usual and sent Its refreshing volumes
spray over the weary and tired loungers wi
hung round Its border. The way the bulls ai
bears behaved yesterday would have co
founded the most Intelligent foreigner. Th
literally danced and howled, roared fierce
at each other, as if each was about to fly
thc other's throat, shouted louder than lt w
thought possible human lungs could wit
stand, and otherwise behaved in a very b
wildering and delirious manner. It w
generally admitted that the tendency
gold was downwards; but few, howevc
gave credit to thc notion that lc wi
about to descend at once to par. To rea?
that point it was easy enough to perceive tn
fifty different causes lay in the way-the sm:
share of bullion in tho Treasury, the like
hood of imports exceeding the figures at whl<
they have been recorded in tho last quarte
the suspense felt In regard to Congresslon
legislation and other things that make an el
ment in the aggregate Influence. Neverth
less, a belief appeared to prevail that gold w
destined to go lo 10 in a rush, and, as a co
sequence, much trepidation was felt amor
those who held imported stocks purchased
a higher rate limn 20. Yet, after ali, it may I
safely set down that our merchants, who fe
themselves somewhat imperilled by this rap
and low decline In gold, arc better aatlsfle
though they may suffer In the ordeal, to si
our finances lending quickly to their norm
basis, than if they had to walt thc tedious pr
cess of governmental resumption of specie pa
menta.
The spectators* gallery or the Gold Ex ch an <,
was crowded to suffocation with anxious i
curious outsiders. In thc pit below, or In otb
words, in the arena where the gold broke
yell like a set of devils, all the Interest ce
fred. Thc din was perfectly terrific. A pant
mine of Fox's, with all the harum-scarum el
men ts exaggerated, gives but a faint idea
ihe utter confusion, the madness ontrolled 1
method, that characterizes the Gold Rooi
They shouted across the foun In space llkej
many maniacs challenging each other to mo
than mortal combat. They did not tear thc
hair or pull their fancy whiskers to pieces, b
they strained their vocal powers to brcakin;
Thu spectators were as much excited as tl
operators, and If they only had a little train ii
in the ways of thc place might have gone in i
urdcntly as the others.
At the cotton exchange there was a goc
deal of excitement also; for, sympathizer
with gold, the great Southern staple had di
dined several cents ncr pound, and mac
brokers were unusually exercised in the ei
denver to dispose of their orders to ad van tag
Thc Resumption of Specie Payment?
Views of the Tribune.
The Tribune, speaking of the use of coln !
retail trade In New York on Friday, says:
These acts of small dealers and restauran
will bc looked upon rather as flighty thouc
shrewd devices to gain popular favor rat lu
Hutu us Indicating any permanent nnd setth
resumption of specie as a basis of trade. Bi
not so the action ot the banks, some of tl
wealthiest and most prominent of which ai
earnestly considering the propriety of maklt
an end of thc unsettled condition of monetai
afluir? by boldly proolulming resumption,
was whispered on thc street yesterday, wil
much of a tone of authority, that in ti
event that no reaction occurred to-day, tl
Chemical Bunk would next week announce tl
resumption of specie payments. That wealth;
influenlial, and eminently conservative Instill
lion can weil afford to lead off In such a mov?
mont. As a matter of fact, the Chemic:
never hos suspended specie payments. It hi
no circulation of Its own, uud ls not, thor
fore, affected by Ihe fluctuations of currone,
When the government suspended nt thc b
ginning nf the war, this Institution, wllhoi
any formal act or announcement of suspci
sion, begun paying out currency where lt lin
before paid coln, and hus continued to do f
10 HIIH day. Ol'course, should lt now retut

iii?- old masters painted her m in their day
ul the highest classes, she is found now only
among thc people, where, indeed, she is not
Infrequent -that Hhrill-voiced, ferret-eye. I,
gltar?Miosu(l lillie woman wu ail know ol',
-landing with lier anns akimbo, ready to take
lire at tile faintest spark, and scolding at all
ere lUon. Every village and country town lias
meeker kind of young folks in her district,
sport of rude boys wno like to "set her
from a aafe distance, and the scoff of b
men who chaff her husband In their h<
way about the gray mare at home; but wit]
that she keeps a tidy hearth, saves money,
has as good a name for honesty as for in
try. She brings up her family after the st
est pattern of morality, leading them into
way they should go by thumplngs and rail
that never end. and she would disown an
them who by chance lapsed into public tr
gre8slon; yet she drives her husband to
alehouse, as Rip Tan Winkle's wife drove h
by the force of her tongue alone, driving
sons after him, while ner daughters tak
showy dresses and Illicit love-making, as t
form of dram-drlnklng, to help them over
hard lines laid down for them by their ghi
ish mother. So that, in spite of herself
all h?r cares, the family ol thc village si
more often than not turns out badly, sin
because of her ungovernable temper. E
community has one such member, a bi
bustling, notable little woman who halves
life between toiling and railing, working I
to keep her family respectable, but succeed
for the most part only in making them mis
ble, and who, when she dies, dies in a cht
of commendation, unloved and unregrel
by all.'
But, beyond this primitive type of the shr
we have enough and to spare of a more
fined kind among the educated; good woi
who do not flirt, nor spend too much mo
on dress or pleasure, who are content to i
at home and look after their houses and c
dren, but who take out in ill temper what t
deny to naughtiness, and think themsel
justified because their sins are not those of
lust of the flesh or the pride ot life. The he
over which the shrew presides is a wearie
to the souls of those forced to dwell ther
She is forever scolding the servants when
is not changing them; and servants nevci
well when they are scolded. Either it ma
them more stupid than they were before, <
rouses their baa passions, and turns an ui
tenllonal mistake Into a wilful misdeed,
the shrew cannot be taught this; nor can
make allowance lor human infirmities. V
her those uneducated maids and men who
her servlce*must be free from all traces
original sin, and from ali the consequence
ignorance. They must be able too to bear un
rebuke without so much as looking a rem
strance, and if they venture to express OD
is sure to end in an angry warning "this
month." The same kind of thing goes on v
her children. There Is no good natured 8
ping over faults, no smoothing away of d
cullies, no making the best of the bad, and
escaping the full flavor of evils which are
enough at the best; she worries and drives i
scolds them through the whole of the d
then wonders that they shrink from her, i
that their very fear induces falsehood. AB
her husband, she ls ot so much use by her ]
petual nagging that she saves the necesi
ol purgatory after death by giving bim
full benefit of it beforehand. If he qul<
withdraws from the unequal contest i
leaves her to her shrewness while be beta!
bimselt to his club, she then makes cap
out of her wrongs and loudly sets lorth
virtues; how she has always done her best
save his pocket; how she has been a faltt
wife and a careful mother, and worked t
kept house like any slave, while others, wb
husbands Idolize them, spent and racket
and have had more than one flirtation suet
a married woman should not have. And
look at them and their husbands, and then
the difference with hers. Poor shrew! t
proverb about the dinner of herbs and
Btallcd ox has never carried any weight u
her or taught her any lesson. As with
village scold, so with a shrew of the up]
class-her children either leave home pr?t
turely or marry Ul. They neither see nor c
for the real love and sterling goodness of
underlying that bitter temper; all they kn
is that mamma is always cross and that
makes their lives wretched. And as we
all more or less superficial In our judgmei
and swayed by our own selfish pain or pk
ure, prcterring to be made happy by a lil
less rigid morality rather than unhappy
extra virtue, wc can scarcely blame the cl
dren of thc o Ii row for not divminir-<*'luD -At
