The returns leave no doubt aboui
the adoption of The Constitution
The majority is By no means as large
as was claimed by the friends of the
New paper, hu; is sufficient to sci it
up in the place Of the old one. Al
though the majority Of Gallia coun-
ty have, on Two different occasions,
expressed strong dislike TO such a
change. YET now that it is accom-
plished in spite of them, their great
desire is TO make the best OF a bad
thing, and see the State fairly and
safely on the course laid down in the
New Chart. The New Constitution
contains many excellent features, de-
cided improvements on the old, with
some that always have been objec-
tionable, and we trust always will
be, to all whose radicalism does not
amount to Jacobinism. II is Of the
first importance now that the gov
ernment in all its ramifcations should
be put in operation as best it may
under this new power that's. Much
viii depend upon the action of the
people at the very starting point
Something more ol power is reserved
TO be exercised by the people imme'
diately than formerly, and accor-
ding to our ideas the abuse Of thai
power is not likely to come from q
county that has maintained the po.
sition that has Gallia county on the
question OF constitutional reform.

HRkLTH or ST. LoUIs.-But lew
cases Of actual cholera, have - yet
occurred among the settled inhabi-
tants Of the city, although immi-
grants from Europe via the South.
arriving by steamboat, have suffered
severely BY this, as well as ship e.
YER aud other diseases. We suppose
one great cause Of the fatality among
these immigrants, may be the exces-
sive muddy condition OF the river
water, which deck passengers on
steamers are obliged 10 drink in a
disagreeable and an unhealthy state,
having no opportunity to litter or
,urify it, by any means within their
reach. This or some other cause
has produced violent dysentery,
which soon turns into cholera;
and as most OF the poor creatures
thus attacked, say nothing about it
first, feeling no alarm, they generally
suffer an incurable stage Of cholera
to appear before they apply for a
remedy.
This will account, 10 measure,
for the great fatality this year among
this class Of arrivals al ST. Louis.
Returning Californians have also suf-
fered considerably from this disease.
They too, reach New Orleans IN q
very unfit state to drink Mississippi
water and eat the ordinary food pre-
pared on steamers. The privations
they suffer in California, together
with the long sea voyage homeward
to New Orleans, unfit them for sud-
den indulgence in agreeable food
They do indulge improperly, howev-
er, and the consequence is sickness
and sometimes death. Except among
such persons as We have named,
thereis but little sickness at present;
and although there is some appear
ance that, with the receding Of the
flood, there will be sickness, vet we
do not think so, as the food Of lS44
did not effect the health Of ST. Louis
in any percepiible manner.

MAsoNIc.-The Oath, ST. Johns
day, was observed by the order OF
Masons in this place. The oration
was pronounced by Rev. VIM. P.
Strickland in the Methodist Church,
after which they partook Of a dinner
prepared in the LOT OF P. Menager,
Just above his dwelling house. The
oraiion was well conceived for the
occasion, we thought, and happily
expressed. The orator ranks among
the ablest men in the Methodist
church, and though many would
pronounce him no orator as Brutus
is, yet he has ably earned his wide
reputation and fairly sustains it,
We did not get in in time to hear the
whole Of his address and shall at
tempt no analysis Of it. The num-
Der Of persons from abroad was not
large. though we noticed persons
from different places. On the whole
we should judge, as friend OF ours
says, the celebration passed off pleas
antly TO all concerned, especially the
ball at the Hall at night.

rse Wig slale ConvsniIon

Meets at Columbus on Thursday
next, the Sd OF July. The call of
the Central Committee has not been
responded to in every township in
this county. The busy season OF the
year will prevent many from attend
ing who otherwise would be present.
We have the assurance that those
chosen as delegates will attend the
convention, and probably several
Others from this county. As this is
the first move in setting the ball IN
motion under the new regime It IS
desirable that a full and fair expires
sion Of opinion from every county
in the State should centre there,
which will tend and conduce to right
and efficient action. The conVen-
iion will be called upon to present a
full ticket for State officers including
five Judges Of the Supreme Court
How for mere party politics should
be the controlling motive in the Sc
lection OF Judges we would haze
wise and considerate heads there TO
determine. Under the system oil
elscting by the Legislature our oPpo-
nents always made the office oil
Judge a reward of merit for services
rendered the party without reference
TO his learning or honesty. The
radically progressives will endeavor
to accomplish the same by the people
at large as they have through the
Legislature. This should be defeated
If possible, even if the Wings should
form ticket for the Supreme CourI
in concert with the conservative por-
ton of their opponents. But these
are questions which the convention
next week will be called upon TO set
tie, and we trust il will be composed
of men who will consult the true in
teresis of the State in their action
for thus alone can they shadow forth
the principles OF the party and rem
der that party and the State essential
service.

WHOSE BUSINESS Is IT!-Our town
Council, Board of Health or some
one else had pretty strong call last
Saturday evening for their interfer-
ence. We allude to the stencil oc
casioned by some fellow on third ST.
throwing out brine and rotten beef,
&c. At this season Of the year,
when a Board Of Health should be
doubly cautious in sanitary measures
they certainly should not permit a
Circumstance of this kind to pass un-
noticed.

,Ir. yIu,ou and The ApportIoument.

The National lntelligencer takes
occasion, in a recent article on the
census returns and apportionment
law, to pay a merited compliment
to Hon. ). F. Vinton.
"Those only who remember the
tedious and angry contests which
have heretofore taken place in Con-
rress under every new census, in the
apportionment of repre- sentation
among the States-each member
striving for a ratio that would throw
upon his State the smallest fraction
can appreciate the wisdom which
suggested the present mode OF set
ting that hitherto difficult and vex-
atioCs question; mode so simple, so
equitable, so easy OF Adjustment
The number OF inhabitants in each
State being ascertained, and the num-
Der of which the House Of Repre-
sentatives shall be composed having
been established by law, the ascer-
tainment OF the ratio is mere ques-
ton Of simple arithmetic, which
school-boy might solve. The system
works with the ease and harmony oil
a law OF nature. For this invalua-
bic reform the country is indebted to
that wise and veteron legislator,
Samuel F. Vinton, Of Ohio, whose
withdrawal from Congress cannot be
otherwise than deeply regretted by
every friend to his country"

Bu.u. Question FInnIIy settled.

Our readers have been apprised Of
the fact that Mr.. Randolph, OF Abe
marie, gave notice in the Conven-
ton on the Doth Of May last, that
he would, on the llth day Of June,
in accordance with Instructions from
his constituents, move the re CO.
sideration oi the vote adopting the
Compromise. We awaited the arr;-
val of the time appointed by Mr..
Randolph to make bis motion with
intense, indeed, almost painful, ankle
ty. We were exceedingly fearful
that the dangerous contention upon
this subject was destined to be re-
commenced, to be waged with in
creased acrimony. We are happy,
therefore, to announce that Mr.. Ran
dolph declined, when the appointed
time arrived, to move the reconsider
alton Of the vote adopting the Com
promise. We have before stated
that the Compromise does not grant
to Western Virginia what she has a
just right to claim, and that we were
willing TO acquiesce in it only as a
Compromise, and strickly as SUCH
We considered it proffered as the
olive branch Of peace, and were, and
are, willing to accep; it as SUCH
The question Of the basis Of repre-
senta,ion is now definitely settled
for the space Of fourteen years.

The anti-Iicense clause it seems has
received the sanction of the people
by a majority somewhat less than
that in favor OF the Constitution
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
"The probability is that the new
Constitution has been adopted BY a
large majority Of the voters that
turned out TO vote on il. The clause
prohibiting license to traic in spirit
uous liquors has also received the
sanction Of the people.

asrnnHe condnet 81 . 1Aenl. Governors
Some weeks since we mentioned
the arrest Of two or three persons
Al Rune, Indiana, under a charge of
passing counterfeit money at Leaven-
worth. The men arrested were ta-
ken. TO Leavenworth and confined
in iail To await their trial at the next
session of the Circuit Cour. where
thew are still kept. We now learn
from a gentleman Of varacity, that
about two weeks since, man made
his appearance at Leavenworth an
hour or two before sunset. and was
introduced to the Sheriff by the pro-
nrietor of the house at which he
stopped, as Lieut.. Governor Lane,
of this State. Alter passing the COM
pliments OF the day, he asked if GER
tain men (alluded to above) were
in his custody? On being answered
in the affirmative, he requested per-
mission to see the men. The She
riff conducted him to the cell OF the
prisoners. When there, this man,
whether Lieut.. Governor Lane or
not, we are not prepared to say, but
cannot believe il was, for il is hard TO
satisfy the mind that a man filling
the second office in our State would
be guilty Of such conduct,) requested
the Sheriff to retire, as he wished to
have some priUate conversation
with the prisoners.
The sheriff, like any other good
and faithful officer would, refused
to comply, telling him il he wished
to speak to them, he would have to
do so in his presence and hearing
Finding the sheriff unyielding he
then stated that he wished TO make
some arrangement with the prisoner;
by which they would secure proper
legal assistance when they should bt
arraigned before the court, and en-
deavored to quiet the mind OF th'
officer by telling him TO say nothing
about what he had said. He then
left the Jail with the sheriff, and ear
" next morning left the town.
Now, il this is not strange con
due, on the part OF a man occupying
high station in our State, we ar
no Judges Of such matters. As he
fore stated, we cannot bring our
selves to believe that the person allu
ded 10 was really Lieut.. Governo
Lane. The proprietor OF the taverl
where he stopped, however, state,
positively that he knew the man +
to Lieut.. Gov. Lane. Can 1t. Gov
Lane, or his friends, give any satislac
tory explanation Of this matterl

his hat as a prize for the best essay
on Independence. The following
obtained the prize:
National Independence is easier
imagined than described; personal
independence consists emphatically
in being situate in a clean shirt,
drawers, socks, and nicely BACKED
pair Of boots, with at least dollar
and half and clean cambria in your
pocket-all on Sunday morning,
with your wife on one arm, and your
own babe on the other, taking your
own course towards your own
church to sit under the ministry OF
your own preacher, in the blissiul
expectation Of doing your own snooz-
ing, in your own pew, wherein no
one dare venture to nudge you with
his elbow, or tickle your nose with a
straw.

The SciOtO Gazette in speaking o
the vote on the adoption Of the new

the reason why the vote was so large
for itin Ross county:
"One cause Of the result in Ross

fact, that, since the late county SUD
scription, 10 railroads and other I'M
provements, many people have be-
come disposed TO shut down the gate

ceded only nine inches since the food
came to a stand. The Levee contin-
