ANOTHER CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MRxT.-Several prominent and influential
Eastern journals are advocating another
amendment to the Federal Constitution,
which contemplates the constant success
sion of the Vice President to the Presi-
dency. They propose that a President
and Vice President shall be elected by the
people. and at the end Of four years the
former retires and the latter takes his
place. Of course at each subsequent cleo
ton only a Vice President is chosen. his
term being four years in that office and
four years as President. In this way
there would be a constant rotation in
Office, no man serving either as President
or Vice President or Vice President more
than one term. The Vice President would
then be selected with special reference to
his fitness for the first position, and he
would be, for four years, educated for its
vast responsibilities before he is permitted
to assume them. The idea is meeting
with considerable favor among many Of
the statesmen of the nation, and some of
the ables. journals Of the country are
warmly seconding the proposition. There
are many arguments in favor Of it, but it
is doubtful whether the people would now
sanction the change.

LOOK ar THESE SAMPLES.

The following are a few specimens Of
the equality of States which now exist
and is to exist, perhaps, hereafter: Maine,
with e2s, 1852 white inhabitants, has Ave
representatives, while the State Of Ala
bama, with 100000 less, has had seven
representatives, and will have ten, now
that slavery is abolished, Of whom Ave
will DO given her for less than $4,000
negroes. These negroes should have
either the right Of suffrage, or else Ala
bsma should have Ave Members Of Con-
gress and no more.
Vermont, with 3l4,aso white inhabi-
tants. has three representatives. South
Carolina, with "A white population OF
POI, 1888, has had six-three Of them, on
account of three-Hfths Of her slaves, who,
now that they have become freedmen, will
give her eight representatives. And what
makes the matter worse, it is but a small
part of the South Carolina whites, even,
who vote. If the negroes of South Caro-.
lima are not to vote, where is the justice of
giving that State more representatives
than Vermont:
Pennsylvania has 2,s4o,206 white in
habitants, and but t~wenty-four represent
~tatives, while North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana, whose COM
bined white population is 10000 less,
have had thirty-nine representatives, and
the transformation Of their slaves to freed
men will give them at least fifteen repre-
sentatives more!

UNION GENERALS AS COPPER
HEAD CANDIDATES.

-
The fate Of those Generals of the Union
army whose ambition has so far o'erleaped
itself as to render them capable OF accept
ing the standard bearership. Of the copper
head Democracy for positions Of civil
Office, is not very encouraging, says a CO.
temporary.
General futile, in Iowa, two years ago,
was the first instance Of a General Of the
Union army accepting nomination from
the political enemies Of the Republic and
the flag for which he and his fellow-sol-
diers were fighting. He was defeated by
the people at home and the soldiers in the
Reld by an astounding majority, as OF
course he ought to have been.
General Mcclellan was the second in
stance, and we know what his fate was,
as the Democratic national standard
bearer in 1884. Never has recreancy to,
and betrayal Of principle, been more
pointediy rebuked than in his case.
At the late State elections, General
Thomas H. Benton, jr., in Iowa, and Gen.
eral Morgan, in Ohio, who SO eagerly ac-
cepted the proffered but empty honors of
the copperhead candidacy for the Gov
ernorship, have been so completely over
whelmed in defeat that they will never
recover from the shame Of it.
In New York, Massachusetts,, Mime
sofa, and some other States, military OFF,
GERS who had served their country in the
field, while the Copperheads were pelting
them with dirt from the rear, also ran for
Office this year as Copperhead candidates,
and were duly defeated.
The returned soldiers and the people
can not, will not, excuse such dishonora-
BILE abandonment Of honor and self-re-
spect, even on the part Of officers who had
calamity served in the field, as is the ac-
ceptance by them Of the leadership Of a
party that opposed them and the cause Of
the Union during the war. No honora-
BILE soldier would accept proffered honors
from the nations and the army's worst
enemies, because no honorable soldier can
have respect for a party Of sneakS, cow
ards and traitors, and therefore cannot
fraternize with them without a sacrifice Of
his own manhood and seli-respect.

Nor SArIsPIED.-Notwithstanding the
silence and apparent acquiescence, the
people Of the North are not satisfied.
They are trying to deceive themselves into
the belief that they are, but it is only
' whistling in the grave yard :" they are
not satisfied. Millions Of the loyal people
Of the loyal States are at this moment
trembling with fear that we are about to
lose all the results and sacrifices Of the
war; that we are about to be sold out to
the very men who killed our sons and
brothers. Even BUR Chicago contemporary
says that ait is useless to attempt to hide
the fact that the idea of the immediate res
toration to political po,oer of the rebels, with
the blood Of our sons and brothers not yet
wiped from their hands. fills the loyal
masses with deep uneasiness." And so It
does. And is there not cause for uneasi-
ness? Does it not look as if the very men
who nine months ago were leading the
rebel hosts in bloody war against our
country and our sons and brothers, were
going soon to be in full possession Of the
power and places which we then said none
but loyal men should hereafter hold Nay,
does it not look as If they nre going to
occupy the front seats and highest places

While Grimes was standing at the bar OF

with his left hand, he drew from his pocket
a small four shooter, and thrust it toward
the mans head /; an explosion of a cap was
heard, and Lynnis fell to the floor with a
sigh, dead. The ball had entered his head

NEGRO TESTIMONY - DEMANDS
OF THE GOVERNMENT.

The New York Sun says that General
Howard, Chief of the Frcedmen's Bureau,
recently started from Washington on a
o u through the Southern States, upon
alleged important business connected with
his department. We now hear from him
at Charleston, South Carolina, and the
importance Of his mission is developed in
a speech to the local authorities of that
city. In his address General Howard
said
HE thought that the State, on IN
sideration, would find it wise to allow the
negro to testify in courts, at least in mat
tiers that concerned him and his property.
He was free to say that until that was
done, the government of the Freedmen's
Bureau would continue. As soon as the
Legislature allowed negro testimony in the
legal courts Of the State all the troops
would be withdrawn"
The remarks of General Howard may
safely be regarded as indicative of the
policy Of the Government, for he acts en-
tirely in an official capacity. Therefore,
it is evident that in the above paragraph
we have the solution Of two of the most
important questions affecting the Southern
people; and which are Of the greatest in
terest to the whole country. First. it
seems that the Government has deter
mined to abolish the Freedmen's Bureau,
in the several reclaimed States, so 500 as
the said States shall have provided for the
protection Of the negroes By permitting
them to testify in court upon questions
affecting their personal interests. Second,
the Federal troops will be Withdrawn as
soon as the Legislature allows negro tes-
timony in the legal courts" 1t appears,
therefore, that both the adjustment Of the
Freedmen's Bureau, and the withdrawal
of the troops from the Southern States,
are now solely dependent upon the action
of the said States with regard to the ad-
mission of negro testimony in the courts.
By complying with this simple require
ment, they will be at once relieved from
two especial sources Of complaint and,
on the other hand, by persisting in exclud-
ing freedmen from the courts, both the
Bureau and the troops will be retained in
definitely.

REPORTED OPPOSITION TO THE
FEN1ANS. ..

The opposition Of some Catholic clergy
men to Fenianism, and in fact to any
movement having for its object q revolu-
ton in Ireland, has appeared strange and
iuexpIicable. The pretense has been that
this hostility was to Fenisnism as a secret
society, but all know that the organiza-
ton is not secret. so that cannot be the
true explanation. The Washington Chron-
ic!e of q recent date, makes the following
statement
A considerable number Of the Catholic
clergy of Ireland are educated at May
nooth College, an institution endowed by
the British Government. The following
oath of allegiance is exacted from all who
enter that college, and we believe no one
is allowed to enjoy the benefits of the in
s,itution without first subscribing to it:
II do take Almighty God and His Holy
Son, Jesus Christ, to witness that l will
be faithful and bear true allegiance to her
mos, gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria,
and her will defend to the utmost Of my
power from all conspiracies and attempts
whatever that shall be made against her
person. crown, or dignity.
"And will do my utmost endeavor to
dissolve and make known to her Majesty
and her successors, all reasonable and
~treacherous conspiracies which may be
formed against her or them.
"And do promise to maintain, and sup
port. and defend to the utmost of my
power, the succession Of the crown in her
Majes,y's family"
We have heard Bishop O'Connel, Of this
Diocese, refer to this matter. Father Ma
nogue declares that until, or unless, an al
locution be made against the society BY the
Pope, it will have his sympathy, and. so
far as is proper. his cooperation. 1t is
well known to all Irishmen. that in Ire
land the Revolutionists are bound by an
oath, under which they cannot reveal to
any one the proceedings Of their councils.

they have not freedom Of speech; and
they tell this in ST. Louis before two or

of attention to the creatures whose speech
