The Central Railroad and the New Consti-
tuition,

The Oquawka Spectator, an independent
journal, says:
Vote for the new constitution on the l1tl
day Of next month, for many good and sutt
cIent reasons, one Of which IS the fact that
thereby, you get the "deadwood " on the IL
lnois Central railroad company. Our inter.
est, as a state, in that road. amounts, at the
present time, to over one hHRdre8 and eighty
thousand dollars q gear, and bids fair to be
increased III a few years. to nearly double
that sum annually. If the new constitution
is adopted this sum is mate Sure--it will be
paid every year into the state treasury--and
the blindest can see how materially it will
lessen our taxes
1t IL nothing more that right than the Cen
tral railroad should pay this per centage up.
on its earnings back to the state which has
granted it such extraordinary and munti-
cent privileges. But OF course it Is the inter
est Of this corporation to obtain a release from
the payment of this amount if they can :
and, unless the new constitution should be
adopted, there is no power to prevent the
state legislature, at any time, giving them
this release. True, it is to be hoped that no
legislative body would be thus guilty Of sell
ling themselves--and thereby selling" their
conStituents--but it has been said that every
man has his price, and when he considers
how big price this corporation is able and
willing to pay, and remember that corrupt
legislatures have existed and may exist again.
II certainly becomes US, as prudent men, to
throw around the financial interests of the
state we live in, every possible safeguard
lhls we shall do by adopting the new consti-
tuition on the lTth of June.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION

We have already given expression to our
opinion that the constitution adopted by the
late Illinois convention is great improve
ment upon the old one and that the amend
m"nts are entitled to the appreciation and
support of the voters of the state OF Illinois.
The advices we have received from various
sections of the state satisfy us that the new
constitution will be adopted by large major
l'y, Its enemies, however are active and un-
scrupulouS in their hostility to 1t, seeking
to accomplish by representation, by secret
circulars, at once unfair and mendacuus,
which they are actively engaged in scattering
throughout the state, the defeat of constitu,
ton, copies OF which they refuse to circulate,
that the people may judge for themselves.
While the enemies of the new constitution
are dilgent in laying their plans for its De
feat its friends should take care that it is not
lost by any default of theirs. Let them be
diligent ard active too.

A great deal has been said about the
amount of troops furnished by tie respec.
tive States, North and South, in the time
Of the Revolution. Some insist that the
South furnished more than the North in
proportion to her population Others say
that the North furnished the most The
latter statement is the correct one. The
population OF the Northern States in 1890
We have no exact statement of the pop.
ulation of the Colonies in l7TG--was
SOS, 455; the Southern, ,9j5, 354. Now,
if we are to Judge by the increase since.
the Southern States must have had more
Of a population than the Northern in the
time Of the Revelation, as we find them
nearly equal in 1890, and we know that
from tho Revolution down to the present
time the population of the North has
increased faster than that Of the South
But supposing that they were equal at the
time of the Revolution, the Northern
States furnished more than those of the
South OF tho Continental troops the
Southern States furnished So, AZ North

the militia the Southern States furnished

of which there is no official returns, the
South claims to have furnished &c, to

militia is not set down in the records Of
the War Office. Of Continental troops,
authenticated militia and conjectural mi
li,a, Massachusetts furnished 92,592,-
