g^gli^ -ff1 WednsgdiyKLo^fring, April 6,1870. The Adoption of ?Ja? ?riftccntU Ain^n?. ment*-Ita Twu-ioW Significance. President Graut Uns officially t an? nounced the ratification of':tho fifteenth amendaient. Tho provisions of HUB amendment bave'been for some time in operation in the ^eoonstruot?d'^ States. The effeot of tho iecent announoement makes negro suffrage apply also to the so-called "loyal1* /Btates. It 'gives saf frogo to about 80,000 new voters in the twenty-one Northern, middle, Eastern and Western States, and it confirms suf? frage to about 800,000 negro Voters in the whole'Uuited States. Thus the vot? ing population of the whola country stands, in round numbera, over 6,000, 000 white voter*,and about 800,000 co ld ^.Vbter* ?ot?bW?t^.J^^^e.'text: ra ?^^^Dr^^i?OB conditio O o fe or v i - p,Qwe*:tft^lpJfe^^s-article by. appro? priate legislation; . Whothqr QopBUtqmuted legally or ille? gally, constitutionally, or not, thia is the law of the laud- it might does not make righi, it r.ortainly doc's ono thing very surely-it gitetf i US accomplished facts. This universal suffrage is ?n Wc?mplbhed faut-ns the French express it,'un fait accompli. We have suggested that thiB" matter of tho adoption' of-'tho fifteenth amendment has a two-fold significance First, it establishes 'the broad and une? quivocal proposition-that suffrage is uni? versal in this country.' "With thi? we are disposed to bo content. We are inolined to think that the suffrage of the colored mau is the logical sequenoe of his free? dom. Furthermore, we are disposed to look upon'the extension of the privilege of univ ors al BU fir ago as the. wisest solu? tion of a vexed question the world over. If the people demand universal suffrage, well, let them 'have it. 1 They are sove? reign. -Let them have it, and lot us go about our business. If tho principle shall not work well, the remedy, wo sup? pose, will como from those who expe? rience the ill efieots of its operation. This is one / aspect of tho quoetion. Bat there is- another. It is this. The radical party, in its role of "reconstruc? tion"-io its making and unmuking of States-has utterly ignored the dootrine of State sovereignty and State rights. In tho fifteenth amendment, and also in the thirteenth and fourteenth amend? ments, the radical or Republican party has gone Upon the principio of regard? ing Congress as the sovereign power "AH representing the national authority of the' -United states." This is olear. Congress has virtually said and acted out '.I AM TUB STATE." Louis XIV did not more ' thoroughly represent tho sove? reignty of France than does Congress claim the sovereignty of power in these Uoited States. Tho present ruling party have, since the war, in spirit and in sub? stance, changed the character of this Government. At first tho sword struck down the Southern States. Now it is turned upon the Northern and Western States. If the Democracy of those States fail to rally the Northern' people against the legislation of Congress, then we shall give the matter up. State rights will be laid low, with or without a r?sur? rection. The BEPUBIIIO of Washington and Adams will have become the NATION of Lincoln and Grant. It remains for the Northern people to yield to or to ar? rest this RESULT-so full of significance. Let them sustain the present national regime-let them fail to revive, in its power, the national Democracy-the last hope of a Government of free and co? equal States-and all will bo over. We do not say forever, but all will be over for the present. STATES will havo be ootne PROVINCES, and tho power of the Government will have passed into the hands of the Executive or the Congres? sional department. Let the matter be decided, and lot us understand where we stand. THE UNITED STATES COURT-Hon. George S. Bryan presiding. In Bankruptcy-Ex parted. L. Dukes and Wm. Boozer, of Greenville.

Whtltcmore on the Stump--Stnalor Raine}-'? OnilaugU,t. Whittemore, na has already bceu brief? ly stated, addressed his Republican con? stituents at Georgetown, on the 23d ult. His attempted justification, of the cor? ruption of which ho had been convicted was of the same character ns that he has uttored elsewhere. At the conclusion of his remarks he Was answered hy Kai ney, the colored Senator, who, in the course of his speech, said: He would answer to the call made from no ill will to Mr. Whittemoro, bnt from ?sense of duty-that when he was in Washington he was indebted to him. for many courtesies, which rendered the task he was about to enter upon, of exposing the falsities of his statements and the sophistries of his address, au unpleasant and painful one. Yet that duty he would discharge without fear, favor or affec? tion. That Mr. Whittemore had been guilty of conduct in his, representative capacity in Congress that made him un? worthy of a seat in that body, could not successfully be controverted or denied by any one who knew anything of the charges made against him. He said that Whittemore denied that he was expelled from his seat. That he was not actually expelled w..s the truth, but that he was virtually expelled was equally true. A vote had been taken in the House, by which it was absolutely certain that the two-thirds necessary for expulsion would bo obnined-he, as Daddy Cain once said, saw the sirocco coming and dodged its blast and force by resigning. Let those present bear in mind, that this cry raised by him of persecution, ?fcc., has no foun? dation. Raiuey went on at some length to'show the emptiness of Mr. Whitte more's pretensions to credit for the many benefactions he claimed to have, con? ferred on the colored nico, and cautioned them to beware how they trusted one who had disgraced the high position to which he had been elevated by their con? fidence and votes. AB soon as Rniney had finished, he, in turn, was attacked in lively style by one of his brother colored radicals, Repre? sentative Jones: Thc -first charge, he said, he had against the Senator, was that, with all his pretensions of love to the negro race, he had, on a. very important occasion, ig? nored them by attempting to poss off as a Spaniard. The most of tho "meeting would recollect that last winter, the Sena? tor and himself were appointed delegates to a labor convention ip Columbia-that the convention iu Columbia appointed delegates to attend a national labor con? vention in Washington, and that J. H. Rainey, the Senator who had just ad? dressed them, were with others one of the delegates. He charged that when Senator ltainey got to Washington, he found that the boasted equality which is represented to exist at the national capi? tal did not extend to everything-that there were certain Bights ho wished to see, that wero not accorded to those who had African blood in their veins, and he forthwith assumed with Wimbnsh, the Sonator from Chester, to pass off as Spa? niards, one calling himself as Don Rod? rigo and the other as Don Alfonso. Jones then asked the Senator to inform this audieuco whether, when he was in Wash? ington, as a delegate to tho labor conven? tion, ho passed off as Don Rodrigo, ?nd Wimbnsh ns Don Alfonso, or whether he played tho part of Don Alfonso and Wimbush figured as Don Rodrigo? I think the question important. This question brought down the house, and was too much for tho Senator, who quit the stand, with animated disgust pic? tured on his countenance. Daniel E.

To the People,of South Carolina. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. EXF.CUTIVE DEPARTMENT. COLTJMIIIA, April 6, 1870. THE President of the United States having officially proclaimed thc ratification of tho Fifteenth Constitutional Amendment, declar? ing that "tho right* of citizens of the United States to vote shall not bo denied or abridged hy tho United States, or by any State, on ac? count of race, color, or previous condition of j servitude," it affords mo the highest gratifica- | tion to announco tho samo tn my fellow aitizens of South Carolina. After nearly a century of delay and procrastination, tho froat truth 'enunciated in thc Declaration of | ndopondoucc, "that all mun aro created cqnal," ia at length vindicated, and with a most gratifying unanimity of public scntimont four millions of our people, who wtro hereto? fore declared by tho hiphi at tribunal in tho country unworthy of citizenship, arc now in? vested in its glorious panoply, with all its rights and all its responsibilities. With a view to tho intelligent discharge of these, I would earnestly unite with tho President in enjoining upon' you tho counsel of Washing? ton, to promote, as a matter of primary im? portance, institutions for tho general diffusion of knowledgo, and to seo tn it that all who possess and exercise political lights shall have tho opportunity to acquire tho knowledge which wid mako their nb are in the Govern nient, a blessing and not a danger. In view of tho magnitude of tho advantage conferred, and especially to the pcoplo of South Caro? lina, I feel that I will only be meeting their wishes in suggesting to them, and to tho pastora of their respectivo congregations, that advantage should he taken ot their noxt meeting for public worship, of returning especial thanks tu Almi.hty God for this signal manifestation of His merav, in the final triumph of their long struggle for their civil and political rights.

America, from the cradle to the grave, is to have a vote, it is also proposed to embrace the white,, women and children of the republic within the elustic folds of the fifteenth 'amendment? In that event we shallhave 40,000,000 of -voters, which ' will "bo" about as' near universal suffrage as we are ever likely to arriv?. We have no desire, however, to arouse any false hopes in the hearts of the loaders of the woman's rights persua? sion. We fear that, whatever may be General Grant's construction of the fifteenth amendment, only the males of 21 years and upwards will be permitted to vote, so that tho new recruits to the voting population will number probably about 800,000, instead of ?,000,000, one fifth of ? population being the propor? tion usually estimated for Voters. In our own ?State the colored population is perhaps about 175,000, whom General Grant may expect to voto en masse, but if they do not, then the number of hew electors in Maryland will be 35,010. We would not, however, have the women and children of any color, or in any Btate, despair. When tho colored ele? ment has had timo te test, its capacity for the responsibilities and duties of go? vernment, it may be expected that an opportunity to become electors will be afforded to that sex, whioh appears to be considered less endowed than the new voters with those qualifications of in? telligence a?d virtue which Gen. Grant righi)j considers indispensable to the preservation of free institutions. [Ballimore Sun.

Thia is, wo believe, tho first instance where such medicines have been officially endorBod by the Faculty of any of tho Medioal Colleges, and reflects groat credit upon the skill of Dr Lawrence, its compounder, and also puta "Koskoo" in tho VAN of all other medicines of tho present day.

Kama's twelve-month '- ca? lendar assigned it the fourth place, with twenty-nine days, and thus' lt' remained till the reformation of the .year tyy', JpVftia Ctcsar, when it obtained its 'pr?sent quota of thirty days. The name of this month is supposed to bo derived from the Latin word aperio, T op?hl Oar Anglo-Saxon ancestors called it osier monath, or month of East winds, and it is thought that the ecclesiastical term, Easter, had a similar origin. In this climate, we look for pleasant weather in April, and consumptives who have such a dread of March bail its approach with hopefulness. Though supposed to be fickle, tho mouth has always been re? garded by poets and imaginative writers with great favor, as it furnished them with many pretty conceits, and pointed the moral of chauges so appropriately. CRUMBS.-Gov. Scott has made the following appointments: Geo. M. McDa vid, Deputy Surveyor, of Anderson; L. S. Langley and James M. Crofort, Nota* ries Public for Beaufort; Joseph T.

We are glad to know that the old and well-known music house of Ditson & Co., 711 Broadway, New York and Bos? ton, has with them a Caroliuinn-Mr. E. A. Bonner, who is a practical musician and understands, too, the tastes of our people. Ditson & Co. have always had, we believe, the greater part of the South? ern music trade. Our people, when in New York, should call in at 711 Broad? way, and get all the latest things out; in the musical world. We wish Mr .Bother success.
