Publishers, 55 Beekman Street - ' Shall the Fruits of the War be Preserved Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, some time ago. introduced Into the U. S. Senate some resolutions declaring and affirming the, validity of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitu­ tion of the United Mates. These Amendments to the Constitution pro­ vide as tollows: The Thirteenth: That neither slav­ ery »<>r involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, * • • shall exist within the United States.-- CongreHH shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. Fourteenth Amendment; Provides for the extension of suffrage to all per­ sons counted in making up the appor­ tionment of representation in congress provides also that the validity of the public debt of the U. S., shall not be questioned; that neither the United States nor any State shall assume to pay the rebel debt or claims for the loss or emancipation of slaves, and that Congress shall have power to en­ force the provisions of the amendment Fifteenth Amendment: The right of citizens of the U. S., shall not be de­ nied or abridged by the United States nor by any State on account Of race, color or previous condition uf servi­ tude. Congreis shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. . ' . The purpose of the Sdmunds resolu­ tions was that the Senate should be committed to the doctrine that these Amendments have been legally rat li­ fted; that they are as binding as any other portions of the Constitution and that their enforcement becomes the right and duty of Congress. The chief objects sought to be attained by the adoptions of these Amendments were: 1st.-The guarantee of liberty to for­ mer slaves. 2d. /fo extend the right of citizenship to them. 3d. That the public debt of the U. 8., shall be paid. 4th. That rebel claims shall not be sad­ dled upon a State or the United States Government. These are the fruits of the war which it has been generally supposed would bo unquestioned and vindicated, at. least by all northern men. But the discussion upon the Edmunds' resolu­ tions in the Senate called to the front several ultra representative Democrats w ho were opposed to conferring upon Congress any such rlgiits as are set forth in these Amendments; while ev­ ery Democrat in the Senate voted no upon the final passage of the resolu­ tion. The Southern Democratic Sene- tors desired that the rights embodied fti the Amendments or their execution *lhould be delegated to the States and not conferred upon Congress or the National Courts or the Uuiled States Government. In case of« denial of the right of suffrage, the State and not the Nation they advocated, should have jurisdic­ tion in the case. In other words, they demand that the enforcement of the Constitutional Amendments should be l£ft to the States, which doctrine sim­ ply means, their substantial nullifica­ tion. For who does not believe but What if left to any or all the rebell­ ious States negro suflfage would be nothing except in name, or but that the rebel war debt would be honored and ordered paid. We cannot but tliiuk. that the Democrats In the Sen­ ate, those of the north, misrepresented their constituencies, when they voted against the passage of the Edmunds* resolutions. Not one voted in favortif their passage. They passed by a strict­ ly party vote, to that the Democrats arc on record as having opposed the resolutions which affirm the valadity of these three Amendments. The New York Sun, an ultra Democratic sheet, regards the acts of the Democratic Senators in this matter as misrepre­ senting the Democratic party and as a fatal blunder. The Sun says: The Demerits in the Senate were outwitted by the Republicans in the matter ot'the Edmunds resolutions.-- Every Democrat went on the record of the Senate against the resolutions.-- And there they stand, and their votes will be claimed as the deliberate opin­ ion of the Democratic party on the three amendments. Among the nays on the adoption of the resolutions are ten Democratic Senators from the North, including Barnuin and Eaton of Connecticut. Keruan of New York. McPherson and 'Randolph of New Jersejv Wallace of Pennsylvania, and Thurmau of Ohio.-- In these ufive States there cannot be found'&ne Democrat in a thousand who doubts the validity of the tinee amend­ ments. and yet these Seutaors, by their Votes, have placed the party in a fake and foolish position, of which Iu oppo­ nents will not be slow to take advan­ tage. • r .

'* ' West ... The veteran eagle «f the West, whose pet name ii"OM Abe." is now on exhibition in the Old South, and as many Inquiries are afloat in the com­ munity in regard to him, it may be in­ teresting to some of your readers to know something of his antecedents, or more properly speaking of his war rec­ ord. This patriotic and historic bird U widely known throughout the West* and is the special pride of the gtate of Wisconshi, whose pensioner he is, hav­ ing served his country for over three years as one of the heroes of thirty battles. He is now the honored guest of the Old Bay State, sen; on by the Governor of Wisconsin to Governor Rice, to be exhibited in the Old South for the benefit of the preservation fund. He is of the white headed family and is seventeen years old, having been found in his nest when four months old by a Chippewa Indian aud by him sold to a farmer for a bushel of corn. He was soon found so wonderfully Intelli­ gent tiiat a gentleman purchased him of the farmer and presented him to the Eight Wisconsn regiment, who re­ ceived him with acclamation, and he was given, as was his royal due, tfte place rankin* next to the flag of the regiment. The majestic bird is always moved and most demonstrative at the sound Ot mtrtial music. He shared all the battles of the regiment, but «o drop of his blood was sacrificed. Vain­ ly did rebel sharpshooters aiui at his dark figure, conspicuously "painted on the crimson sky he scorned to bear a charmed life, and his royal comrades almost looked up to him as their lead­ er, and with pride believed in him as a bird of good omen. He was named "Old Abo," sworn into eoivSea, and proved to be every inch a soldier, lis­ tening to and obeying orders, noting the time most accurately, always after the first yenr giving heed to "atten­ tion," insisting upon being in the thick est of the light, and when hie comrades, exposed to great danger from the ter­ rible fire of the enemy were ordered to lie down, he would flatten himself to the ground with them, rising when they did. aud with out-spread pinions Soar alaft over the carnage and smoke of the battle. When the canuon6 were pouring forth destruction and death, above the thunder and roar of the ar tillery rose his wild shrill battle cry of freedom. He was always restless be­ fore the march to the encounter, bu^ after the smoke of the battle-field had cleared away lie would doff his soldier like bearing, and with wild screams of delight would manifest his joy at the victory; but if defeat was the result discomfiture and deep sorrow was man­ ifest by drooping head. He is attend­ ed right royally--having servants to obey his imperial will-dwelling in "marble halls" in the fine Capitol of Wisconsin, the State which is so just­ ly proud of the uever to-be-forgotteu record of her bravo sons and daughters who, through the long struggle for the eternal right, were so conspicuously before the whole country^ Advertiser. A TWO MINUTK TROTTK8. Mr. Bonner never allowed DcxUjr to trot in a race after he purchased "the king of the turf," and It is not likely that he could have added anything to his laurels if he had been alioVred to make another public trial. Goldsmith Maid, Rarus, Hopeful, Great Eastern, and several other fast horses have beat­ en Dexter's best time. Now however, Mr. Bo.uner has purchased Edwin For­ est for 916,000, which is said to be the most remarkable trotter in the world. He trotted at Hartford iu 3:14}. The theory of many Horsemen that the fastest horse would be a large liorse is sustained by this early performance of Forrest. He is sixteen h*nde high. AC the same time he is handsome aud well proportioned. Some things which would seem extravagant about any horse are said about the performances of Iforrest, and yet old ^trotting men tell Us they are perfectly true. For In­ stance, so careful a paper as tlie Spirii of the In an account of Forrest's trotting at Hartford, says of one quar­ ter; "If ever a two-minute gait was struck by a trotter, it was by Edwin Forre»t durirtg this quarter." Either all the trotting meu must have lots their heads, or the horse lias no equal. --Chicago Tribune. , . Much has been sung of the uMaid with Golden Hair."

F«b» »th, 1879, There is more or less talk in official circles here in regard to the report Of the live Army Engineersappointed the 19th of„ June law tor report on tho work coustrncted and in process of con­ struction bv Jatfies B. Eades at the mouth of the Mississippi river. Tho report sets forever at rest the question of a bar advance in front of the jetties. It says in so many words? "The actual results therefore, so far'as we know them, do not justify tha predictions of accelerated bar advaneW* On the con­ trary. »her show h disappearance of bar material from the front of the jetties." Considering that the idea of a bar ad* vance was the hobby ridden by some of the most distinguished of the Army Engineer ^orps this is an Important admission. The report is very good ao fi»r as it goes, but the engineers making it seem to regret that the honor of ta» tablishing "an open month to the sea,** does not belong to them instead of to a civil engineer and they rather eonvey the Influence that the plan was i»ri|l« "ally suggested bv thom. In the Eada review of the report which is just ovf," he takes issue with the Engineers SR this point, and says that he called th« attention of a large number of mem­ bers of the 43rd Congress to it as earljr as May, 1873, and in the winter follow- ^ Ing made a formafproposUlou to Com- " gress to deepen tlie month of U* Southwest Pass by the jetty systeito, at his own risk. He has the whip hand of them in this, the official report* bearing him out in his statements, for the commission whictj pc^ommended the jetty system did not roport in It* * favor till 1875. ry S Mr. Eads now seeks relief on account of indebtedness incurred tn the cot> structioH «f the works ar.t5 the f&i r«t* of our public men here seem willing that he should have it. Iu view of tt» fact that the Army Engineers hav» been trying for 40 years to open tho mouth of our National river, and thai , great problem has been successfully solved by a civil engineer in spite of their opposition to his plans, the rush­ ing through the House of a bill cro* atlng a commission of Army engineers, to devise a plan for tlte improvement of the river creates conAderablecoofrv ment, particularly as it ignores th* civil engineers of thecountry in#?v maimer not at all complimentary t#. theui. It provides for five member*, three of whom shall be from the Army and one of these shall be President of the Commission. The other two mem­ bers are to be persons familiar wi the river. Tills fes ture will be strl en out in the Seuate to save the bill.' It will probably be made to provitlft for three civil engineers, and one ofl|» ; cerof the Coast Survey, and thro# Army engineers, leaving the Pretidoni of the United States to name tho pre­ siding officer of the Commission. * ""7-^ The House will be engaged Mfomli./-'B days upon the Legislative appropria­ tion bill, and then will take up th® sundry civil bill and after that tho de­ ficiency bill. These will complete th# House work on the appropriations, ex­ cept as they come back, as many ot them will, with Senate amendments be disposed of hy conference commit­ tee*. The Republicans of tho Senate have decided to consider the appro^J prlations before all other business, an# the Post Office bill Is now before thai' body and will probably go back t§ the House with several amendments i* two or three days. Next in ord«| they decide to take up the Geneva Award bill of the House, which wi$ have a dose rub in the Senate, as it haj| some delects in a legal point of vievjil After that they will press Senator Wist* dotn's proposition to raise a Coinm!^ tee of inquiry into the feasibility oj| providing means of emigration for th§, dissatisfied Negroes of the South, :an§- planting them in some Wester* Terr& tory, wiiere they rauy.
