As tor an explanation, we rtallv have imt time for such business here at the Capital. Betides, we are al By the Constitution of Xorlb Cam tpa a ' resident of tins State" h entitled to loss to account for our friend, the jurfje's f,ve Lundrect dollars value of personal prop- nprHlexitv. No one that we litive iiearu- w , , ., .'. . j .1.. n here either mistook our article or needed ex - plaaatjon ol it, and even our Democratic friers are provided by heaven with sufficient umrer'standHig to see all that was hi oar ar ticle. All thft is needful for our learned and expert Brother is that he read the article to Which he refers ;.t .some moment when ''nig ger" is not on the brain and when the fever of his prJmlice has he m cooled by a little reason. The Stam.ud's disclaiinerb arej.11 tlie article. It-i htorj of facts is there, and its policy in dispo.-ing ot this qaestion, sim . pie iu Welf I tit vexed by pfcriynne ptditi- eians, is also inoi'e than inc.-lcated iu the- ar ticle." The above from the Standard-is rather a lame attempt to dodge the- questions asked bv the Stak, of a late date, -in reference to the'S'tanSnrd's article on '"Mixed Schools." We are not at nllinrprised that the Stan dard ghoul. 1 refuse to "explain," because a truthful explanation would no doubt hurt, however", we will let it off. if it will answer the plain question, whether or not it is in f.. vor of Mixed Schools? Had fhe Standard given ti e desired ex planation, wc would have been s..t' -tied, but instead of so tlotup, it Hies to pieces, criti cises 'the Star, an 1 demeans itself very I e coniingly indeed tor a paper that claims to pe the great organ ofthe Republican party of our State. We asked the Standard to explain, be cause we thought, as we said, that its article "Mixed Schools1' hinted strouglj. jn that dw rection, and we merely wanted to know whether it meant w hat it said. If we step ped on your iva we can t help it now, so. don't be so totichois, Mr .Standa d, a jour nal of so tnnch pretended ability and wis dom, slightly mixed with vanity, ought to be more deliberate and cool, and .when X articles are tnity, expjain them, at least tor the benefit of iTTer"iulant class"1 that the Standard is not teaching. We are aware tint the Standard is -"not teaching a class iu an infant school, ' and we advise it that the class it js endeavoring to teaoh, have "brains" enough not to be taught tdadvocate ttsjnixi school 6ystem. As for "the Judge's perplexity" we will say that the Judge referred to had nothing do with the article reierred to, neither did he know anything about it until it appeared in the Star. We have hut two Editors to 'the Stab and their names appear at the head of our paper, and we are responsible for what we say.

A correspondent of the Vindicator over the above signature, purports to give the proceedings of a Republican meeting at Shelby last week, as is usual with thec TJemocratic cprre pondents he lies in more cases than one, wo don't think it necessa ry to enumerate for if we were to do so it would consume more, timo and space than wc are able or willing to devote to such small fryand have only called attention to the above, to say, that wc think we can locate the author, and put in thrco guesses, if we are .mistaken we Will gladly inakj the correction if 'State of Cleveland" will i'ive his real name our first guess is tint it was written by a public liar; recond by a man. who was dis. missed from Coufed. rate service, f r ishon esty, after having his head shaved, or third that it is a man who i in . favor of mes. cengenation which has lately been sjworn oh' him bv one of the colored fair sex On the w ing-, We paid i flying visit to Shelby t;in the State of Cleveland'' ia-t week we found every thing all right under radical rule We find Cleveland rising ; "improvements of all - kinds arc going up, new houses, fences, and every thing betokens life. On Thursday we were present at a Re-publU can meeting at Shelby, but, owing o the inclemancy of the weather, there was not a very large crowd present ; the meeting was addressed bv Rev. Mr. Elliott and made by the people in the Jirt vpe ofS?!r years, and we have yet to see any c-iivul hm iu society, or revolution throughout the republic emanating directly from Mich a change. -We have seen this change again i.d.e place oir vetenljy, the fourth t March, 185y, by tiie put-going of one administration of this Government, and the incoming of another.

Tue FiiTEENTit Amendment. Tiie proxiSed Fifteenth Amendment to tho Constitution id' the United States passed both Houses of theGeiu-ral Assembly yester day. Twelve Democrats voted against iit in the House, and in the Senate. .Malone of the House made a regular bitter speech against it ; Messrs. Argo and Jarvis made Speeches for it. Mr. Rohbins iu the Senate made a speech against it; Messrs. Brogflen, E'ps, and Welker, tor it. Messrs. Osborne and Love Democrats voted for it. The proposed Amendment is as follows: Article XV. I Section' 1. The rigjrt of citizens of the United vSlales to vote sh.dl not tie denied or abridged bythe . United States or by any State on iiccount of race color, 01' previous ConOitiou ot servitude. i Skctios 2, Tin Congress shall have ikiw 1 i - i 1 .7 1 - 1 1 7 7 ert, and also one utousana aouars value of real estate exempt from sati under exec utioit. which by the doctrine In the case known as the decision upon the Slay Law is pronounced Constitu ioual, the result is, that no debt can be collected off of any debtor, who is not worth more than fif. teen hundred dollars. The proportion of this class of men to those worth more than fine n hundred dollars is at least as fifteen to one, hei.ee the creditor is to loose fiftensistecnths of his debts. This doubly ignores the doctrine laid clown, by His Honor that "the obligation of a cotu tract is, t h 3 duty of its performance a full and complete compliance with its terms. It must be remembered that the cred itor the Baukrtipt and of the IIotne stead beneficiary is a debtor himself, now, what has been done for him He has lost all hs debts due from Baukrupts, also due from'. tlie Homestead beneficiary, both to gether tnore than suffieieuit to pay all and perhaps double all bis debts, add to this his losses by the rebellion and his Josses would be more than sufficient to. .miadrd j le h;s indebtedness. Does this look like "the obligatioa of a coiurjact is the duty of its performance a full and complete compliance with its terms I His Honor also sas that "ary statute which relieves a party from this duty, or enables him to evade it, is void' Wc ask the question if the Bankrupts and Homestead, benefi ciaries are not relieved from their debts 1 We ask farther, if their creditors, who are the debtors of others have received any be.nelits or been relieved from any of their debts'? It is so plain that "he that runs may read"' that Legislation has relieved the Bankrupt and the person worth fif. teen hundred dollars from their debts and left ail persons worth more ' than fifteen hundred dollars tb.payfZ&etr debts, there, fore instead of being "a favored few" as has been said, in high places, they are the only persons to sutler ar.d be oppressed and their property sacrificed. Such a state of things has never before existed, and such Legislation has never before been known. Should nothing more be done, such'a levelling process has never been known in any country, is it possible that a forlunate - few'' mouied men are to control the destinies of our people, level them, make them all alike without regard to industry, eeot.omy or enterprise and ti.n a ....

The Supreme Court entered in a body, just before 12 o'clock. Mr. Col tax then en tered, aceomp'Wiied by Mr. Wade, made a very brief and mode-t p;ech, and took the usual oath as Vice-President. Then the crowd nishi d with eager haste from the Senate wing out through the rotunda upon the eastern portico of the Gapitol, where a platform had been erected to give as fair a view of the man gu ration as possible. Gen. Grant took a position standing by a table near the edge of the platform in full view of sev' oral acres of people w ho were packed in the open space east of the Capitol, and even through the park as far as the slight est show coujd be seen. His appearance was the signal for the most tumultuous cheering, and the tens of thousands of voices Tjrovvned tho mudc from the bands. Gen. Gratit stood quietly look ingon, without tlie movement oi' a mus cle betraying we least excitement. - Chief Justice Chase look advantage of the lull in the storm of applause, and administer ed the oath of office -and Gen. Ulysses S. Grant became President of the United States. The President, read his inaugur al to those who were near enough to hear his low voice. One of the most interesting incidents of the day occurred during the reading of the inaugural. The Innocent little daughter of the President stepped forward and stood unabashed by' her father's side, feeling thac with papa she was safe. The procession escorted the President to the White House, and after learing that no reception would be give.i there, dispersed. During the morning tho White House looked desolate and gloomy. Few visi tors sought admittance, the sceptre was passing from the occupant, and none so poor to do him reverence save members Of his Cabinet and an occas onal antiqua rian. Mr. Johnson declined to take his accus omed place in the 'procession, and about noon he went to a private house, his baggage having preivnusly been t is ken out. marked "Greenville,Tennesse," where he may seek the position of Aider man. 9 The reception ball was given at night in the new wing of the Treasury buildmg.. President Grant received the respects of his friends in a private room in the third btoiy. Mr. t'oifax stood on the righi of ! he Presidential whose left were Mrs. Grant, Mrs, Colfax, Senator Morgan and Gep. Barnum. Mrs,. Grant was dressed in White satin, wit i daub'.e overskirt edged with point , lace. She wore pink roses in her Jttow.

People-were there from every State in the Union, representing all classes of so ciety, all sections, and almost every race or. the Globe sent some representative. They were crowded together in such in discriminate confusion that much of the pleasure was Oestroyed ; tlie dancing was continued until nearly dawn ; when the weary dancers found rest.
