TIFFIN TRIBUNE. OFFICE: First Floor, h'rtt Market Strcft. LOCKES & J3LY.TIYER, KDITORS AKD PROPRIETORS. IlSIn, 0., Frlrlar, January 21st, 1S70 What an amount of money in the aggregate might be wived to the poo pie were they allowed to frank the petitions they are pending to the fa vored Congressmen, asking thorn to abolish the Franking Priviloge. A proposition has been made in the House to change the date of the moot ing of the 2lani3l sessions ofConrros to the first Monday in January. Ckn erally when meeting ljefore the holi days, no work is "n.aiid it get to gether seemingly for the purjoseof adjourning. Tlie Houe h is lieen in Conimiitoe of thehole on the Fifteenth Amend ment most of the week. A vote had not been reached up to Thursday noon, but it had been agreed t take a vote in the afternoon. The Amendment will likely pass by a strict party vote. The repeal of the Visible Admix ture Bill, does as much credit to the present Legislature as it did discredit to ihe Legislature enacting it. The law was a monument of Democratic ignorance and prejudice, and tliat party ought to be tliankful that it is among the things tliat were. The Governor of Kansas in his mes sage recommends the adoption of the 1511) Amendment. He also denoun ces the "moral suasion adopted by the general Government in its deal ing with the Indians, aud wanbi them put upon reservations and kept there by force of arms. "Lo ! the poor In dian," has no charms for him, and he is not far from right. Generally speaking "Injuns is pizen." The girls in Wyoming have the boys completely behind them. The former vote at eighteen, while the latter have to wait till they are twenty-one. If such is to be the case where woman suffrage is adopted an irrepressible conflict will arise between the two races which nothing short of a change of law will affect. It is fcingular that when women try to get on a level with men they generally get a littlcrie yond. f "Cords upon cords" of.potitions are being flooded upon Congress, request ing it to .abolish that right so dear to everyCongrese man's heart, the Frank ing Privilege. These petitions are coming in from the four points of the compass, signed by nearly every one that can write. Wliat actions will our solona take upon them? Will they listen to the voice of the peo ple, or will they refuse, and then come again before their constituents asking o be returned to Congress? They had better listen. Hon. James Brooks, recently made a speech at a party supper in New York, wherein he said, referring to the Government and country: "Let us have everything as nearly as pos sible as before; but I suppose it is im possible to re-establish slavery." That this Democratic mourner for dead things wishes that slavery in all its former beauties could egain curse the land there can be no doubt: and we cannot, for the life of us, see why he does not go to work and try to do it We are satisfied that such an effort be as useful as anything he now is en gaged in, and it would keep him out of mischief and at the same time en dear him to fossil Democrats. SENATE DISCUSSION OF THE 15TH AMENDMENT. As oue of the most interesting of the events of the past week was the passage of the loth Amendment by the Senate, we give some extracts of the speeches delivered for and against the Amendment. The question came up on Wednes day of hut week, but was deferred un til the next day. It then came up, and the following discussion was had: Mr. Hubbell, formerly a Republican Congressman, but now a Democratic State Senator, led off. It is but due to him to state that he was a consistent Republican until his constituents re fused to return him to Congress for a second term thereupon he found out tliat the party was not at all his fancy painted it, and he went elsewhere: Had the amendment been submitted some years ago, said he, I should probably liave voted for it. The com liaratively few colored men in Ohio are amongst the aristocracy of the race, and have some- knowledge and culture. They might vote without detriment to the State; but in Mississ ippi, for instance, the negroes are densely ignorant, aud comprise three fifths of the population. Mr. Lincoln, in this very city, years ago, pronounc ed against the social and political equality of the white and black races, aud he reiterated it in various speech es throughout Illinois and other States during the campaign of 1M). At the j i-iose cm me war ne neia me same views, only he said he was willing to 'give the ballot to those colored men who bore arms during the war. Mr. Hubbell went on at some length to show tliat the Republican party of Ohio, as late as 1865, and General Cox its candidate for Governor) openly that year pronounced against it, and was elected on that basis, and would, had he taken the opposite position have been defeated by an overwhelm ing majority. He himself in compa ny with General Warner (now of Al abama) stumped his Senatorial Dis trict, declaring everywhere that the assertion that the Republican party favored negro suffrage was false. The Republican party succeeded to power on this basis, and now to go back up on meir recoru ana . prolessiou after having attained power, is no better man swindling. Mr. 1L spent an hour in his arraign ment of the Republican party. But a comparatively short time since, (inv. Morton,- of Indiana, everywhere ac knowledged as trood ReDublican au thority, told him (H.) that the idea of allowing the ignorant negroes of the South to vote was ridiculous and ab surd. The convention that nomina ted General Grant declared that so far as the loyal States were conoemort the question of suffrage should bereft to the States themselves. On this platform General Grant was elected, and could have been elected on no other. Yet, no sooner had the people clothed his supporters with than the 15th Amendment was intro duced, and all propositions looking to a submission of the same to the people " vv uu tv ii. x ei uie party favoring the amendment calls itself Republican ! Mr. H. then examined the record bf the parties. . In their opinion it was wiser and better that the question of suflrage should be left to the States. I hold, said Mr. H., to their views, and Mill not follow after the new lights of the jiresent day. I think giv ing the ballot to the negroes Would be unwise. I do not think we should en courage them to come to Ohio, by holding out to them the inducement of the suffrage and of office. Wherev er the negroes are most numerous in Oliio, there the value of property and the material prosperity of the locality lias declined in proportion; and if for this reason alone I would be opposed to the measure. But there is another reason. This amendment will give up the whole of our Pacific slope to the Chinese; in a quarter of a centurv there will be, perhaps, 50,000,000 of mese people in me united States, and if they can not-vote their children will. But if the interests of tho Re publican party require, Ave have no guarantee that it will not strike the word white from our naturalization laws, and admit to citizenship the whole body of the Chinese, as fast as they arrive. Mr. IL quoued'from the 'fiisk'ry of Solomon to show the evils of mixing with strangers. Mexico, too, was another spunmcn of the evils of that system. If you want the United State- to be another, Mex" S adopt this amendnxjit.. I-iW ia na fear of Heaven, oppose it. Mr. Welsh, of Meigs, said that he was elected with the full understand ing that he would vote for this amend ment The people of Ohio have in dorsed that amendment by voting for if t of it ity in few ty. had esy. his He can ed r it I of and the man ful that (Mr. vote was that to Governor Hayes. Mr. W. argued that the amendment is rijjht in principle; tliat the Republicanism innercnt in our Constitutinn demands its adop tion; tliat the safety of thecountry re quires it. and that the class of citi'zens whom this measure proposes to re lieve from political disabilities have, on all grounds, a right to that relief, Mr. W. replied to Mr.Hubleirs argu ment The Republican is a progress ive party. It knows that reason and justice demand this measure, and that it will continue to lie agitated until the demand is complied with. Mr. Bell advocated the amendment on the broad prround of justice and right. He had no fears of the conse quences sought to be conjured up by gentlemen on theppjwsite side. This nation has never lost anything doing riirht. Our onlv dangers ha 1 hereto fore ari.-.en, and" will hereafter arise, frc11.! TH-p-Ntoneo i:i doing wmii;;. ! IrDmibar examined the legal ar gument, that the Legislature having once acted upon the measure adverse ly had no right to reconsider that ac tion. Mr. Hubbell said bedid not like that view. Mr. Dunbaradmitted that the color ed race is weaker and poorer than the wiiite, but tliat is the very reason why all artificial and legal Imrriers should e removed out of its way, and it have a fair chance in the race of life. It has been said that the amendment will le ratified without the aid of Ohio. It may be so, and it may not If it is . y . . i J .A 1 ... 1 . 1. - J so, then Onio snouiu uoi ue oenmu her sister States in the great career of proirress. if it is not so, then it should be the glory of Ohio to strike for this great measure the finishing stroke. Ohio's record for Union and human rights lias .been glorious in the past ; we must not allow that record to be tarnished now. He admitted that the Republican party might not aiways have been ojieniy in favor of colored suffrage, but the tendency of the age is in the direction of liberty and right, and he tlianked God there is one party in this country which appreciates and can fall in with the vanguard march of humanity toward the temple of justice. Mr. Howard read irom a spoeen oi Judge Thurman's last fall to show that the action of the Legislature ujou the 15th Amendment was not conclusive. At this point in the debate Mr. Hnb belL on leave withdrew his motion indefinitely postponing the Amend ment This closed the day's proceed ings ujon the subject On reassembling the Senate went into Coinniitte of the Whole on the 15th Amendment Mr. Campbell of fered as a sulstitution his bill for sub mitting such ratification to the people. Upon this Mr. C. made a lengthy speech, ably reviewing and condens ing the arguments usually advanced against the measure. Mr. Frophet was lor suomiuing me matter to the people. He thought it not hurt the colored men to wait until next October lor tne suf- fratrp. Mr. Hunt omKJsed the amendment heeause. in his opinion, it interfered with the rizht of the States. He traced at considerable lemrth the history of the formation of our Government, and maintained that the line of de- markation then fixed between the rights of tiie States and those of the National Government ought not to le obliterated. The security of the citi zen is in statehood. It is that power which preserves to him civil nglits. It is that which guarantees him polit ical liberty. But the principle of the 15th Amendment destroys statehood. Mr. Hunt then made an eloquent ar gument to show that the people are the source of all power, and that a nation perishes when its Government is divorced from the people. The t . . . ... : : Oiaie owes every Cllizeu pro iwuuu m his civil and political rights, and the time has come when these rights should not be dependent on color or proscription on account oi race or com- plexion is despotism. Mr. iiunt uius- trated this position from philosophy and history. I speak these words, said Mr. Hunt in behalf of the Dem- ocratic party. That party can not af- ford to resist longer the spirit of the ace or battle against the rights of man. I want that party henceforth to take as its basis the motto Liberty, Fra- ternitv and Equality. Mr. Corrv said: The opponents of the measure are inconsistent I hey declare that the loth Amendment de- stroys the rights of the State, and yet they say that if the liberty of the peo- pie would vote, they would assist in enforcing it now. The people nave nronouiiced in its favor. It takes awav no right of the ieople. It sim nlv protects the right of individual la. A men. Mr. Jones combatted the idea that the colored man can not be trusted. We trusted him in the darkest hour of our reljellion and he failed us not Rurelv. then, we can trust him now, Mr. Wade was glad that the first time his voice was raised in this cham ber it could lie raised in behalf of right Gentlemen tell us there was once a time when the people did not approve colored suffrage. True; and they might go still farther lack, into tne dark night of despotism and slavery, nen it was lield that the colored man had no riirhts that the white man was bound' to respect: but shall that in fluence avail- now. The gentleman from Delaware read to us this morn ing from Joseph us to prove his point, but there is another lxok which he has neglected to read. In it he will find these words : "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you," and that is as applicable to politics as to morals. Tl,;u tl,a iinr'u u-..rl- 1 On Friday morning the Senate again went into a Committee of the whole on tbesubiect Jenner (Dem) opened .

Now every man. woman and child in his district should sicni petitions and send iem ui hero askins nim to vote for this amendment, he would not do so. He swore to discharge liis duty as a Senator according to the best of his ability, and with his conscience his constituents had nothing to do. Mr. H. said he was not opposed to the freedom of the African. He would say amen to their being free. The Democratic party has no objec tion to their being free. In the course time, if they show themselves worthy of it, the Senate of Ohio and every other State may give these Africans the right to vote. But not now. The mass of the Southern Africans are still less fitted for the suffrage than those in Ohio. They know but little more than the brutes that peiish. This is a white man's Government. The white man made what it is. The African had noth- to do with it. The African has al- ways shown himself incapable of gov- eruing. He has never established and maintained an independent national- Expel the white man from this country and give it up to the African, with all its improvement and wealth, and in a century it would be a howl ing wilderness. I passed through Ja- maica some time ago, and I myself I saw the effect of Africanism there. Much of the land was overgrown with brambles and other wild grass and thorns. But I am willing to leave the matter to the people. W hy will not gentlemen consent to this ? The debate was closed by Mr. Root the following pithy speech Mr. Root, (R.) said he would offer a remarks from a conviction of du He was pleased that the debate been conducted in a spirit of court- He doubted not the good faith with which ever Senator would give vote. I will first notice, said he, the geL tleman from Delaware (Mr. Hubbell). spoke bitter words of the Republi party, and said it was gnilty of swindling.

But I charge him with it here. He didn't do himself justice.

Mr. Root The gentleman cannot make terms with me. I will tell how Welister and others caressed him on occasion, and welcomed him in- the ranks of liberty's champions.

His speech so complete a case of do do sc i it is no use to call in the Coroner J hold au inquest Laughter.

So far as two of the gentlemen from that county were concerned, it was known that they were openly in fa vor of the Fifteenth Amendment. Yet they were triumphantly ek U-d, and I doubt not they will do their duty. For the rest of us, everyUIy knew just how we would vote on this question when they voted for us. Now, the Amendment itself is ri'ht. As a matter of political advantage, I would rather the Amendment were rejected than not. It is jurtsuoii mat ters as this that hang like a millstone around the necks of the Democracy. But I go for the Amendment, b'-c:n:se it is right Justice demands it. Our national reputation demands it. Peace and safety demand it, and I believe God demands it. I was a ILidi-.-:;! when it -t boinethin to le o:-; but 1 had a Jiving and abiding f.iith t?::it right would triumph. John Quir:ey Adams once said to me, "I will not see it, but you may, when the accursed institution of slavery will in; Mot tod out." And it has come to pass. For centuries the negro race sent up its prayers to God from the mid-t of an oppression whose direful lies,-, we o;ui- not even conceive. Gm1 seemed to have stayed his hand. But the deliv erance came at last. During the war our success was just commensurate with our justice towards the colored race. We called the negro to arms; and it is a truth that we sent from the North into the army of the Union a larger projortion of the colored than of the white race. They bid high for their rights, and toured out for them a torrent of good, rich blood. Thus they have made themselves citizens, and God afflict me if ever I deny tliem what they so bravely purchased! Applause. The progress of equality before the law cannot be stayed. It will even run through the Gordian knots of technicality toaccomplNh its puqiose. The barrier set up against it here is the proposition of the gentleman from Butler (Mr. Campbell), to submit it to the people. But, with all due respect, that is shilly-shally. The way of amending the Constitution of the United States is clearly marked out in the Constitution itself. That mode we must follow, and vote like men, either for or against I move that the committee rise and report that it has come to no eonchi sftn. Carried. The committee so reported. Mr. Campbell moved to strike out of Mr. Yeatmau's resolution a"ll after the word "whereas," and insert in lieu thereof his bill for submitting the matter to the people at the next Oeto ber election.

President Grant's first veto was of the .bill to extend the patent of White's improvement in Reieating pistols, among other things extending the cliambers of the rotating cylinder through to the rear, so as to enable the cliambers to lie charged at the rear by hand or by a self-acting charger, the patent expired last April. Gen. Dyer of the Ordance Bureau, opposes the renewal, on tne ground mat Smith & Wesson, the manufacturers, have re turned an income of about ?1 ,000,000, while White has received a royalty 01571,000. Mr. Jmld's bill for a new apportion ment of Congressional representation in 1871 will probably le pressed to a vote in tne House at an early day, mougn its passage is doubttul. under its provisions, it is estimated that the .New England States would lose six representatives.New York four, Penn sylatiia three, and Ohio one; while Illinois, Michigan; Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and California would each gain two, and Minnesota, leu nessee, Georgia, Alabama, South Car o'ina and Texas each one. This would give the Western States 94 members in place of 80 as now and the South ern States 80 instead of to. The excitement in Paris over the shooting of Victor Noir seems to be most intense. Rochefort has seized the onnortunitv to make the most bit ter and inflammatory apieals to the passions of the mob. 31. De b ouville, who accompanied JNoiron Ins visit to nnce 1'ierre, lias published nisstate' ment of the occurrence. The Prince has already published his. The truth will be hard to" find. Noir was bur ied, Wednesday. More than 100,000 persons attended the funeral. Roche fort, accompanied by a crowd, went down street singing the Marseillaise, The police appearing to stop it, Roche fort claimed freedom from arrest as a mem tier of the Chamber of Deputies. It would seem as if this shooting by the Emperor's cousin was going to give the Government the most trouble ....... it nas nad lor many a day to avoid a revolution. Great Storm. Tho storm of Sunday night and Monday morning was wide-spread and destructive. In St. Louis it did considerable damage, and caused a panic iu two crowded theaters. In Murfreesboro and Nashville, Tenn buildings were blown down, houses flooded, and very much damage done. Af Cave City, Kentucky, the tornado seems to have done its worst. Ten persons were killed outright, eleven mortally wounded ami many others slightly. Sixty families were render ed houseless. Between Glasgow Junc tion and Cave Citj', a distance of six miles, it is said every house has lieen blown down. In Dayton, Ohio, the Third Presbyterian Church had one end blown olf, and several other build ings were prostrated, 'ihe extensive flood of water has washed a break in the Miami canal, and so filled it in several places with sand that it is not navigable. At Columbus considerable damage was done and the Scioto is reported higher than for 20 years. On the Little Miami, Atlantic and Great Western, Sandusky and other rail roads, trains are delayed by destroyed bridges and noods ot water over the tracks. Reports from every place show that all the rivers are very high and rising rapidly. At Cincinnati the rise in the Ohio has been about 5 inch es an hour. There are 20 feet of wa ter in the Kentucky river, at Frank fort. In short, the storm seems to have lieen the severest that has oc curred for some time. In "every di rection houses were destroyed, trees uprooted, cattle and human lives de stroyed. Wider spread than the tor nado was the rain. Although little has lieen heard from the eastward, yet it would seem the storm raged "there also. Additional Locals. Over the Border. H. F. Siple Esq., who has lieen very ill for some time past, started on Tuesday last with his family for Canada, where he will re main until he fully regains his former robust health.

The Great Farmers Paper. THE PAPER OF TIIE PEOPLE. NOW IS TIIE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE FOR THE Great Family Xeivspajter. IT IS CHEAP BECAUSE ITS CIRCULATION IS LAKUEK THAN THAT OF ANY OTlltll NEWSPAPElt. NOW IS THE TIME TO FORM CLUBS. The Xcw York Weekly Tribune Contains all the important Editorials pub lished in the DAILY TRIBUNE, except those of merely local interest; also Literary and Scientific Intelligence; Reviews of the most interesting and important New Books; letters from our large corps of Correspond ents; latest news received by Telegraph from all parts of the world; a summary of all im portant intelligence in this city and else where; a Synopsis of the Proceedings of Congress and State Legislature when in ses sion: Foreign News received by every steam er; Exclusive Reports of the Proceedings of the Farmers' Club of the American Insti tute; Talks nbout Fruit; Stock, Financial, Cattle, Dry Uoods, and General Market Re ports. The Full Reports of the American Institute Farmers' Club, and the various Agricultu ral Itcports, in each number, are richly worth a year's subscription. HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. To keep pace with the growing Interest in practical Horticulture, aud to comply witii frequent appeals from all parts of the coun try" for information of a practical character on the subject, we have engaged the services of a person who Is experienced in rural af fairs to wsite In a lucid style a series of arti cles on the Management of Small Farms, Fruit slid Vegetable Culture, and how to make them pay, giving general and specific directions from planting to the ultimate dis posal of the crops. Of late years there lias been a lucrative business carried on by unprincipled men, in selling worthless and old planLs under new names to the inexperienced. THE TRI- BUNE will be always ready to guard the far mer against any such imposition that comes within our knowledge. VETERINARY DEPARTMENT. To make THE TRIBUNE still more valua ble to iu agricultural readers, we have en gaged Prof. JajieS Law, Veterinary Sur geon in Cornell University, to answer ques tions concejniug diseases of Cattle, Horses, Sheep, aud other domestic animals, and to I .......... .-i 1 ... n.it, it. 1 1 Q A twu-iiN t, Mil itr,i.rllw tions will be given only through the col umns of THE TRIBUNE. Wearesure that this new feature in THE TRIBUNE will add largely to its readers, as all owners of ani mals are liable to need the information protfercd. Inquiries should be made as brief as possible, that the questions answers and frescriptions may be published together. n short, we Intend that THE TRIBUNE Mliiill Itmoii in thA nflvnnne in nil that eon- corns the Agricultural, Manufacturing, Mi mug, and ot her interests of the country, and that for variety and completeness,, it shall remain altogethej the most valuable, inter- estingand instructive NEWSPAPER pub lished in the world. It has lieen well observed that a careful reading and study of the FarmtHx' Club Re ports in lUK lKlliU.Msaione win save a mr mor "undreds of dollars in his crop. audition to these reports we shad conti t print the best things written on the i crop, in continue iect of asrriculture bv American and foreign writers, and shall increase these features from year to year. As it is, no prudent farm er can do without. As a lesson to his work men alone, every farmer should place The Weekly Tribune upon his table every Satur day evening. The Tribune is tne Deal anu ciieapest paper in the country. This is not said in a spirit of boastful nexs. It has fallen to New York to create tho greatest newspapers of the country. Here concentrate the commerce, the manufactures themineral resources, the agricultural wealth of the Republic. Here all the news gathers and the patronage is so targe that Journalist can afford to print it. This Is the strength of The Tribune. We print the cheapest and best edited weeKiy newsuaner in the country. We liave all the mlvflnhiffM n rr .ii thI n U'p have fpreat Hail v and Semi-Weekly editions All the elabor- - . - l ..l . t .. . ... , ., K II I T ttllll L III.KIIIlltl J . vul cnuiir- lishment perhaps the most complete in America is devoted to the purpose ot maK inir The Weekly Tribune the best and cheap est newspaper in the world. The result is that we liave so systematized and expanded our resources that every copy of The Week ly lrioune coniainsas maucrpsn auoueci mo volume. Think of it! For two dollars the subscriber to The Rribune for one year buvsasmueh reading matter as though he filled a shelf of his library with tifly vol umes containing the greatest works in the language. The force of cheapness can no further go. The Weekly Tribune is tne paper oi tne people. Here tne eager stixicni may learn tile last lesesons of science. Here the scholar may read reviews of the best liooks. Here mav be found corresDondcncc from all parts of the world, the observai Ions of sincere and glued men, who serve lue Tribune in al most every country. The Tribune is strong by reason of its enormous circulation and great cheapness. It has long been conceded that The Weekly Tribune has the largest circulation of any newspaper in the country, ror years we have Diinted twice as many papers, per haps as all of the othsr weekly editions of the city combined. This is why we are en abled to do our work so thoroughly and cheaply. The larger our cisculatiou. the bet ter pa per we can make. W hat are the practical suggestions? Many. Let every subscritier renew his subscription. and urge his neighbor to do the same. If a man cannot afford to pay two dollars let him saise a club.Tiy inducing his neighbors to subscribe, and we shall send him a copy. gratis for his trouble. No newspaper so large and com pelte as The Weekly Tribune was ever before offered at so low a price. Even when our currency was at par witn gold, no sueh paper but The Tribune was of- fered at that psice: and The Tribune then costs us far less than it now does. We have solved the problem of making the best and cheapest newspaper in America. TERMS OF THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE. TO mail subscribers: One copy, one year, 52 issues, t2 00.
