DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.-Many of our
citizens were shocked yesterday at the in
telligence of the death of Mr.. Robert Cot
trill, an old and respected resident of this
city. Mr. c. was born in England, and prob
ably was 40 years of age at the time of his
death His demise will be sincerely deplor-
ed by large circle of friends and acquain-
tances-MObile Tribune, 22nd.

TA shower of teeth fell lately in Chi
cago, but they had no connection with the
fingers found in hydrant, or the other hu--
Z man limbs picked up in the streets. A steam
boiler exploding in a dental establishment,
was the innocent cause of the phenomenon.

"a On the passage of the revenue
bill, in the Alabama House of Represen-
tatives, Mr.. Grant, of Mobile-he of the
Pass-submitted the following protest
The undersigned, while voting for the
general principles of the Revenue bill,
would ask permission to present THIS his
most solemn protest, against all that Por-
stion of said act, that imposes a tax or
fine on the investigation of the subject OF
c1airvoyance and spiritual intercourse; /;
believing as he does thatthe mind should
be left free to investigate any, or all It's
relations to other minds, whether IN this
sc or other spheres of existence; and that a
law passed with aview of restraining such
% Investigations, or taxing those engaged
in that department of study, is violation
of personal rights, and as the undersign-
y ed believes, is an Infringement on constl,
. tutionaI liberty and free government, and
is opposed to the proper development OF
the mind, or spirit into that harmonlal
relation to all the laws of the divine be-
ing, which the undersigned believes to
be the ultimate destiny of all spiritual be-
ings. JOHN URANr'

Suspending The Constitution-The Danger
OF the Republic.
From the Herald.

From the Herald.
Every Radical member of Congress as a new
plan of government for the United States in his
pocket, or has offered one to the House. Jedg-
ing from the proceedings in Congress 'alone,
from the view taken of the country by the
Radical party, we might suppose it was in the
condition that France was in when a new con.
stitution was suggested every day, and a new
one adopted once a fortnight. When the Ma
toRal Assembly trampled the ancient monarchy
under foot, and sat to frame constitution,
France WAS not more completely adrift with re-
spect to organic law than we seem to be now.
Ali the pititul theorists, all the malignant fana-
tics all the corrupt sChemers, have substitutes 10
offer for the Constitution framed by the fathers
of the Republic, and still venerated by the peo-
pie. Nearly fifty so-called amendments have
been proposed. If only half of these were
adopted, the true Constitution would be buried
under the superimposed rubbish its powers for
good would be negatived by greater powers for
evil, and the distinctive character ot'the Gov
eTnment would be lost.
What is the Significance Of all these proposed
amendments! Is the Constitution really sus-
pended or set aside? That is the position OF the
radical faction, and they act on it. And as this
faction rules, ii is practical fact that the Con-
stitution is set aside so tar the action of Con-
gTess goes. This is the issue between Congress
and the President The President, like another
Cato, adheres TO the republic-stands by the
Government that has carried the country safely
through so many years; and the factions, finding
the iull operations of the Consultation inter-
rupted by the war, eager to hold on to the power
given by that interruption, assume that the Con-
stitution is set aside, and endeavor to force upon
the country systems more suitable to their fac
tlous purposes.
No point in our history has been more dan
gerous than this; and we may see the real extent
of this danger by comparing our position with
analogous ones in the history of other nations.
Rome, England, and France, neXhaustible eX-
amples of political evils, show us how, in cases
like the present, freedom falls victim TO the
violence of faction. Rome, under the republi-
can system, had passed through period of ln-
parSleled growth and grandeur. Her govern
ment was then tested tremendously by the Pun'c,
! Macedonian, and Spanish wars. II was shaken
in those struggles. They disturbed that nice
! equilibrium Of powers which is the glory and
the safety of free government There was a
| great increase in the power of the Senate.
! That was the first change in the Constitution,
and IL opened the door to all Others, because the
Legislature, corrupt arrogant, thirsty foy power,
would NOT permit the Senate to retrace that dan
Perous step when 1t was possible. That change
| that departure from the old system--had been
forced by the occasions OF war; but it was dan.
gerous-an eyil-and ought not to have outliyed

The EightDHOur System,

FROM the WOrld.
The question of reducing the hours of daily
labor to eight has, for some time, occupied asso-
Citations ofworkmen, and it engages more or less
of the attention OF the press. In discussing this
question it will eonduce to clearness if we ex-
clude from consideration all those classes of
laborers who have no interest in the subject. n
the hours of labor are reduced it will not be by
legislation, but by the control eXerted by the
various leagues of artisans over their own mem
bers. They viii succeed, if at all, by the same
methods by which such associations procure the
enhancement, or prevent the reduction OF their
wages. Being question between employers and
employed, we may lay out of view, ia discussing
it, all those classes of laOorers who are Their
own employers; happily, in this country by FAR
the greater number.
The bulk of our laboring population consists
Of Zen who cultivate, with their own hands,
their own modest farms, and OF mechanics who
own and work in their own shops-a condition
more favorable to Independence self-respect,
and character, than any other The eight-hour
question does not concern them. They can, at
their pleasure, work eight hours or fourteen.
They are not likely to puzzle themselves, or psT-
pleX Others, as to whether as much labor can be
done in the shorter as IN the longer period. In
All cases where the employer and laoorer are the
same person, thts point needs no elucidation. In
seed time, and IN the harvest seaSon farmers will
toll from sunrise TIL dark, making the most OF
their time TO offset Interruptions by bad Wea.
ther. For reasons equally strong, they will
always work more hours u summer than in win
ter. With majority Of the mechanics who own
their own shops, the pressure of customers is
brisk at some seasons, SLACK at others; and they
naturally do their utmost when the demands
upon them are urgent. 4 man who owns team,
or possesses costly implements and machinery
| cannot very well afford 10 let them stand idle
sixteen hours oat OF the twenty-four; and he
must prolong his own labor to keep them ia
| motion.
Besides the large classes now described, we
must exclude, as having no interest in the elght.

How Canada can get out of her Trouble
From the Herald.

How Canada can get out of her Trouble.
From the Herald.
Between the intense ferment created by the
hobgoblin of Fenianism, the abrogatlon of the
Reciprocity treaty, and the monarchical dodge
OF confederation, our poor Canadian neighbors
are in the midst of sea OF troubles. Their lead
ing men are Fostering the people about politics
and reciprocity, and their invincible militia are
in arms ready to hurl back to American shores
any body of Fenlans who may attempt TO invade
the sacred soil of Canada. Now there is very
easy method by which oar provincial cousins
can be relieved of their Fenian Affections, may
be made to cease grumbling about reciprocity
and to abate their jealousy and irritation about
confederation. Let Canada come into the
American Union. We have a seat for her
in our republics; for at the adoption of
the original articles ct confederation of
the States provision was made with
view 10 the ultimate annexation of Canada to
the Union. We will treat her kindly. We will
even pay her debts. She shall sit at our festive
board and partake of the bountiful easts which
the great republic is ever ready to offer TO free
and loyal people. Canada will thereby become
elevated disniied, and powerful. She will have
no further fear OF raids, or OF retaliation for
having furnished har6or for land pirates and
Rebels, as in the case OF the ST. Albans piracy.
In short she win, instead of being paltry, isO-
lated province, with nothing TO hope for from
the hoIAe Government, but in continual danger
OF punishment for the international crimes of
the mother country, be placed under the protec-
ton of the broad shield of the Union, and share
in our prosperity and glories. There could be
better time tor the Canadians to pronounce
for annexation than the present; and once ac-
complished, perfect panacea will be applied to
all their internal troubles and dangers. Come
along, Canada.

The Revolution in the Danubian Princi-
pahties.


From the Tribune
The state of Europe is not likely to be as pa
ciic during the year 1866 as it was during the
preceding year. The January insurrection in
Spain has already been followed by February
revolution in the Danubian Principalities. This
second revolutionary attempt has been attended
by greater success than the first. The Prince
was on the Esd of February surprised by the In
surgent troops in his palace, taken prisoner, and
forced to resign. On the same day the Senate
and the Chamber of Deputies proclaimed the
Count of Flanders, brother of the King Of the
Belgians, Prince of Roumania under the name
of Philip /. The Count of Flanders, however, at
once, declined the honor, and the country Is
likely to remain for some time without head.
The future Government OF the northern pro
vInces of Turkey constitutes one Of the most diff
fcult complications Of European politics. Twelve
years ago this question led to the Crimean war,
and every new revolutionary outbreak IN Turkey
is a subject of profound concern 20 European
diplomatists, who are we'll aware that the con-
fiict between the interests OF Russia, Austria
France and England Is as to the spolls OF Euro
pean Turkey, which Is doomed to inevitable DIS
N nemberment, and may at any time lead ag am
70 O great European war. 10 ward on this
danger, a conference between the powers which
signed the treaty of Paris is said to have already
been agreed upon.
