Amendments to the constitution

Amendments to the Constitution
We commence this week, the publ
cation of the proposed Amendments to
the constitution, c%oncocted by the Black
Republican Legislature. ~
The first amendment proposal, Isl a
long step backwards, a retarn to ann0al
sessions Of the Legislature. Practical
ly, under Black Republican rule, we
have nothing else than annual sessions
even under our present Constitutional
provisions for biennial sessions; and in
fact, the present Legislature seems to
make its sessions perennial.
The second amendment proposed has
reference to the organization of the Ju-
diciary.s One or more additional judges
are to be created in each district, one OIL
more of whom are to hold District Courts
once 0 year in each District.
We can see no necessity for the crea.
ton of this new Office. It will be q
place however, in which to stow away
itching Office seekers who are in the way
of other competitors, to their mutua
satisfaction.
Amendment Nc. 8 proposes to destroy
the uniform rule of taxation required
by the present constitutional provision
by allowing the banker, broker and not'
shaver a deduction of his indebtedness
from his credits, while the land owner
the merchant and manufacturer is com
PEELED teS1 taxes upon his land, hi.
goods, or his manufacturing stock, with
out the benefit of a deduction of his in
debtedness.
We trust that this'amcndinent will b.
defeated.
Amendment No. 4 is to give the Leg
islature, in effect, powlr to grant specia
privileges to corporations, and protec
chartered m~onopolies.
The democracy of Ohio had succeed
ed in a great measure, in crushing GU
the former unlimited power in the leg
islature, to foster special chartered priv
ileges, and to give power to the favored
few at the expense of the many. w
hope that the ingenious a%rtifice contain
ed in the proposed amendment, to re
turn to the old policy of creating spec
ial corporate privileges, may meet tn,
fate it deserves at the hands of the PEG
pie
Amendment No. 5 provides for tn
single district system, and is of NOR
immediate interest to Hamilton count,
than to rural districts.
We have had time only to glance owe
these proposed amendments. As the,
will have to be voted upon at the mex
October elections, it is well that careful
attention be given them by all voters
and we will take occasion hereafter t
give our views at greater length in re
gard to them.-Ohio Eagle.

The Emigration TO tbc west.

w tAAO
Perhaps at no time in the history of
country has the desire for !"going west"
been so great as at the present. 1t has be-
come an epidemic, and almost every man
who can readily get away either has gone
or is making preparations to go. The
western railroads are often unable to
carry all who apply; Notwithstanding
extra cars, and in some cases, extra
trains have been run. The rush to the
West this spring has certainly been OK
traordinary.
The Pittsburg Union says, "that
looking at the high hopes and bright
anticipations that animatethe vast throng
of emigrants, many of whom have left
comfortable houses and cheerful fresides
here in the healthful and we'll settled
districts of Pennsylvania, to become
pioneers and adventures in wild and
distant regions, one cannot help indulg-
ing occasionally in rather gloomy forebo-
dings., Some, doubtless a large proper
ton, will succeed well, while the expe-
rience ofthe past forewarns us that many,
very many, will be doomed to sad and
bitter disappointment. OF those now
leaving us there may be some, ruddy in
health and with abundant means, whom
bad usage, care, toll ond sickness will
dishearten and break down ere they can
find the desired home in the West, and
who will in a year or so hence come
struggling back, ike many others who
under similar circumstances had gone
before them, their families perhaps les
sened by death, themselves dispirited
and broken in hope and fortune, to com
mence anew in the places where they
were once among the most prosperous
and independent.

Intelligence and sagacity of the
Late Legislature G.

The Clermont Swn thus exposes one
of the monstrous blunders of the late
Legislature. 1t says:
The LEGIsLATCRE-ITs ACTS UNCoN-
sTITUTIoNAL.-The first session of the
late Black-Republican Legislature pass
ed a law taking away from the Probate
Judge and giving to the Court of Com
mon Pleas entire jurisdiction over often
ses of u minor grade, but from the OPP
Grafton of the law ecenptcd several coun-
ties in the State. The Constitution of
Ohio provides that all laws of a general
nature shall have a unJorm operation
throughout the State. But, the Repub-
~licans, of course, had never read the
Constitution, or else they would certain
ly not have been such asses as to have
passed such a generatlaw which was mot
uniform throughout the State. Well,
the Supreme Court have decided this
law unconstitutional. And ofcourse all
indictments found under this law are
void and of no effect.
Now, any child who can read, and has
ordinary sense, could not have misun-
derstood this plain language of the Con-
stitution after reading it; yet this sage,
and learned, and sagacious Legislature
passed a law violating n of the plain
est provisions!
Well, that body of Solons have passed
away, and left a most wonderful monu-
ment in shape of laws, some Constitu-
tional and some not, as a token of their
weakness andstupidity while living, and
an excuse for not abusing them now that
they are dead.

Thirty day's residence in the county,
and twenty days in the township or
ward, are now required to constitute a
legal voter; a violation to be punished
by imprisonment for not less than one

500 convicted of going from n county
to another to vote, is punishable by i'm
prisonment in the Penitentiary ior
not less than one or more than six

ministered to their cure. The terrible
external diseases, on which the OldTes-
lament dwells SO forcible, and which
even at the dawn of the Christian era
were seldom cured, except by miraculous

Man in the nineteenth century, aided

modern discoveries IN the medical botany
is that of the peculiar detergent proper

of the earliest and most celebrated pre-

The Germans in Iowa.

The Germans Black Republican paper
in Keokuk, Iowa, in an article on the
late State election, says:
But we honestly confess that the Re
publican party of Lee County has lost
many supporters among the Germans
since the last Presidential campaign.-
While acknowledging this fact, and cen
surfing the deserters who left the Repub-
lican ranks on account of some subordi-
nate questions, we cannot deny that a
Legislature like the late one, composed
of such Republicans, Is a perfect nui-
sance, clearly demonstrating that the re-
proach of greedincss for the plumber and
spoils of office is equally applicable to
both parties, and is nothing more nor
less than a humbug. Thus, when the
Gate City accuses the lately appointed
Democratic postmaster, Walling, Of in
trigue, we ought to remember that this
attack is dictated by a feeling of jeal-
ousy and ill-concealed disappointment
at having lostethe fat job of the State
Printing. Without wasting unnecessa-
ry words, we have arrived at the conclu-
sion hat the Republican party is quite
as bad as the Democratic, and it should
be the object of the progressive Germans
to establish a party which fully and truly
deserves the name of Republican.

Persons who reached here yesterday
and the night before, from below, assure
us that they met, south of Boone river,
whole caravans, numbering probably
five hundred people, in the aggregate,
on their way to the South, under the
firm conviction that the Indians were
after them; and here, on Friday and
Saturday, the excitement reached, 1 as
surcd you, a high degree Of intensity.
The settlers kept constantly pouring in,
" bag and baggage; y and every few
hours some new alarmist arrived, bring
ing fresh reports of Indians having been
seen upon this creek and upon that.
Several instances occurred, as 1 am
credibly informed, both on the Des
Moincs and the Boon river settlements,
where families about to sit down to their
meals, with the table spread, and their
coffee poured out, on hearing the reports,
left them suddenly, untasted, and i'm
mediately abandoned their homes.
Many others, however, it may be proper
to say, remained at their posts, and do
so still. On Friday and Saturday every
spare room was filled by those who had
come-many of them are still here
while all around about the town their
teams were to be seen standing.

dents of every sort, too numerous to
relate now-I may do so in person on

How it works.

Black Republican domination and a
large increase in the public burdens, in
the shape of taxes, follow as a natural
political consequence. We therefore
are not surprised in finding the follow
ing instructive statement in a late num-
Der of the Boston Post:
STATE ExPENDITUREs.-The current
State expenditures in 1871 were
81, 100, 600, in 1851 S542, 900; and in
1856 they had grown to S642, coo Ia
sum greater than the aggregate expenses
of all the other New England States!
For twenty years, from 1888 to 1852
a State tax was levied but twice, and
then only for $4,000 at each time
total $4,000. There has been annual
State tax of over $500, 600 amounting
in the aggregate to 81 100000 and there
is now needed a tax of $4,000 600 to pay
current. expenses!
Notwithstanding the enormous tax
the State debt has been increased, in
four years, 81, 205 ; hui nearly THREE
MILLIONS of dollars have been spent
over and above the ordinary revenue
from other sources, which for twenty
years was sufficient to carry on the gov
ernmentl
