—The National Intelligencer of a recent date, with reference to the probable defeat of the proposed fifteenth amendment to the Constitution, says: "The action of Indiana and the refusal of Georgia to ratify, for which we have to thank Governor Bullock and his Republican friends in the Legislature, settle the fate of the fifteenth amendment. Its defeat now is next to certain. We count against it Oregon, California, Kentucky, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey, Georgia and Indiana-nine States. Ten are sufficient to defeat it, and Connecticut alone would end it. We observe that both Pennsylvania and New York fail to ratify, and it would seem that the Republican members of the Legislatures of these States cannot be got up to the mark. This issue will enter into all the autumnal elections, and the issue will be disastrous to the Republicans, beyond all doubt."
