| Proposed Amendments to our State
f. @|2@5 Constitution.
According to the resolutions OF the
General Assembly, it is proposed to sub
NIT to the people Of this State the ques-
tiona of striking out theyword ''white'
from our present Constitution, Sec.
Art. .-,-salu tirie referring to the right
of suffrage Secs. 33, "a and s. Of Art. s.
referring to the basis Of representation
in the General Assembly Sec. Art. 6
-concerning the militia.
Also to add to Sec. S Art. 2, the follow
ing words: Nor shall any person who
has committed or may hereafter commit
States or this State, nor any person who
has absconded or may hereafter abecond
for the purpose Of avoiding military con-
,scription or draft ordered by the author
ity of the United States or this State, be
entitled to the privilege of an clector, or
qualified to hold any office under the
Constitution and laws of this state. In
order that the provisions Of this section
may be etlectually enforced, the Legis-
lature may by law prescribe suitable
oath to be taken under such limitations
as it may deem proper, by persons offer
ing to qualify for Office or to vote, to the
effect that they are not subject to the
disabilities of this scction,"
A bill was passed referring these pro-
positions to the next General Assembly
and providing for their publication in
one newspaper in each Congressional
District for three months previous to the
next general election of members of the
Legislature. The resolutions and bill
were passed by nearly strict party vote
the Democrats appearing fearful, apr
parently, OF trusting the people to vote
upon these grave questions. Republi-
cans, on the contrary, were willing that
the people should have an opportunity
of expressing their sentiments through
the ballot-boX on these questions, which
at this time occupy SO large Il share Of
public attention. The amendment if
adopted, will exclude from the polls all
those who have been guilty of treason
or of absconding from the State to avoid
draft, and as all these, without proba-
bly, solitary exception, would vote the
Democratic ticket, it is hardly to be
wondered at that the Cops in the General
Assembly voted against submitting this
to the people. Should it
be accepted, it will strike from the elec-
ton rolls of the State, many of their
warmest friends and supporters.
We trust by the time these amend
ments can be voted upon, treason will
have become SO odious and equal rights
so universal that no serious opposition
will be made to changes so elnphaticallv
demanded by loyalty and justice. In
the meantime let those who believe i'm
Universal Freedom and Universal JUS
tice keep " full high advancedn the
standard Of liberty and patriotism, SO
that those who have fought for the old
flag may see the day when it's shining
folds shall be everywhere the symbol and
the assurance Of equal and exact justice
to all men.--B,rlington Hdtch-Eyc.
BREAD. AND BU'rTER.-IIali, in his
Journal Of Hcalh, gives the following
bit Of wisdom: Bread and butter are the
only articles of food of which we never
tire from early childhood to extreme old
age. A pound Of fine flour or Indian
meal contains three times as much meat
as one. pound of butchers roast beef:
and if the whole product Of the grain.
bran and all, We're made into bread, fif-
teen per cent more Of nutriment would
be added. Unfortunately the bran, the
coarsest part of which gives soundness
to the teeth and strength to the brain, is
generally excluded. Eve hundred ibs.
of flour give to the body thirty pounds of
the bony aliment, while the same guam
tity Of bran gives more than one hund-
red and twenty-five pounds.
This bone is lime, the phosphate of
lime, the indispensable aliment CT health
to the whole human body, from the
want of which multitudes Of persons go
into general decline. But swallowing
phosphate in the shape of powders or in
syrups to cure these declines has little or.
these phosphates must pass through ma
