applications, but It's truth is, we trust, too clear to
need illustration.
We have endeayored TO shows LIST, that the demoe-
acy of the Union and Of this State, were pledged 10
modification Of the act Of l642 AID that this pledge
has been redeemed by the act recently passed ~,
that the political discussions IN this state IN 1851 IN
respect TO the Tariff Of 1872 were carried on WIN
general reference the tariff ball of the former year
known as McKay's bill; and while II IL not asserted
that the reference Of such nature as TO eommt
the democracy of the State 10 that bill IN all It's de-
tails, the issue was made, in some degree, between
il and the act Of 1912. Sd. That Mckays bill,
lust referred to- in its great and essential provisions,
does not differ very materially from the act recent
y passed, the most essential difference being re-
duction Of FIVE per cent. in the latter on maDuac-
lures of cotton, and in making the ad yeorem rule
in assessing duties, universal. 4th. That, while
the rates OF duty imposed by the act of 1912, have
Oeen so essentially reduced TO relieve the great
body Of the community from heavy burden, those
rates still, IN respect to most articles OF foreign
manufacture, high, as to afford the correspond
ing domestic products fair, If not liberal, pro-
lection.
We have made no reference 70 the probable rev.
enue which the new act will produce, nor have we
inquired how far il may be adequate TO the wants OF
the government This is problem which exPe-
rience only can solve, and which we are willing 10
leave TO that test.
Under every view Of the subject we are able 10

policy in respect other domestic interests, be fair

wrong can be Justly maintained untouched, against
clear knowledge Of lis defects. The adherence Of
the WING party to the tariff Of 1912, with all It's inc
quality and injustice under the public avova OF
supporting 'the tariff 1t s," was position as UNI
sound in reason in policy. No measure should
be condemned until experience has shown It to be
deserving of condemnation, or adhered to against all
attempts to amend il when it has proved PalPably
erroneous or oppressive in practice. Such course
would be both moral and political error and
whatever diversity Of views may prevail with regard
to the details Of the tariff act, whatever conVlc-
ton may exist in the mind OF any one as to the ne

CLOSE OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON
VENTION.

The constitutional convention finally terminated
its abors on Friday afternoon. Its duties have been
most arduous, and during a session Of one hundred
and thirty-one days its members have labored most
faithfully and assiduously in the discharge of them

ton against the possibility of msconception
and mlsconsructon hereafter, may be altribn-
ted the protracied character of the session ;
and the people, therefore, will have in it no cause
for regret. or the instrument they have submitted
To the people, the general sentiment was, perhaps,
well expressed by the leading gentlemen Of the con-
vention in the course Of debate to day. Mr.. Hoff-
man, in speaking of it, said ave have made a
constitution which, although it may have in it some
papable defects and errors, has IN it also more ex.
celent matter than is contained in any constitution
on the face Of the earth" Mr.. Harris remarked,
"that he regarded the new constitution as the best
that man ever framed" or the adoption Of the in
strument by the people there can be no doubt and
to the democracy most particularly does it commend
itself as asserting those principles of political
omy and public policy they have so long and ar
IDENTIFY vindicated.
The labors Of the convention were substantially
terminated last evening, This morning, however
there was recommended to be submitted to the peo
pie, to be acted on separately, a section extending
ne Ignt Oh suHrage 10 the negroes. "A number OF
resolutions providing for the publication of the in
strument and its submission to the people, rendering
thanks to the reporters, and cergymen, &c, &c, ,
we're then adopted. A committee of FIVE was then
raised to draft address to the people. At the head
of this committee, notwithstanding his most strenu-
GUS objections, was placed Mr. Hoffman, by aocIa-
nation. Thisis no less gratifying evidence oftbe
harmony and general good feeling prevailing in the
convention, than tits a merited tribute to the man
through whose exertions more than those of any
other individual, have these great reforms been
achieved. The engrossed constitution, on a scroll
Of parchment, was then brought in and read to the
convention. Pending its reading the hour of two
having arrived, the convention took the usual re-

Correspondence Of the New York Globe
WILMINGTON. ID. c., Sept. %, 1886


Upon application at the Treasury Department, it
is ascerained that at least one-half the expense,
trouble, and form hitherto deemed necessary, or at
any rate made necessary in the prosecution Of pri-
vate claims, may be avoided. This information
should be communicated 10 the public in a consplcu-
Gus manner in every paper that seeks TO benefit its
readers, among whom numbers Of claimants may be
found. IL is easy transact any business relating
TO the sale or transfer Of stocks, payment OF diVi
dends, indemntes, &c, without payment ola pre-
MUM or per centage to a lawyer agent. Some Of
these agents often stand in the way of "hnsty "
adjudication of accounts claims, instead of ia
cilitating the interests Of those who employ them.
In order to benefit a numerous class Of persons IN
New York and elsewhere, and save unnecessary ex-
pcnse and trouble, delay and vexation, II may be
well to say that persons wishing to ascertain
whether any sums are standing to their credit on the
books Of the registers Office, or TO the credit of
their tesator or interstate, ancestor, can receive
accurate information without charge, by addressing
letters to the Register of the Treasury, stating the
NAME age, residence, and calling Of the person to
whom the claim originally belonged; and if dead,
when aud where he died; and stating, in addition,
who are his executors administrators, and their
residence. When requested, they will also be fur
nished with printed forms and instructions for draw
ing what may be due. In order to expense,
as far as practicable, to public creditors, in all
where il Is ascertaned there is sum due, powers Of
attorney may be made in blank, or made 10 the
"Regster of the Treasury" and enclosed to him by
mail, on which the money will be drawn and re-
cepied, and paid to the claimant his order, and
will be forwarded without delay, pithO,h amy charge

class Of claims oiH be unnecessary, as also for any
other business, particularly the transfer of stocks,
