Then there is another nice thing they
have done for the boys in blue and their
widows aud orphan children. They taxed
the people of Ohio two millions of dollars.
to raise what they called a soldiers relief
fund. They expended of that money about
81. l25.000 toward that relief. Tnat left
$4,000 of that money, raised for the sup
port of the families, the widows and or
phan children of the soldiers of Ohio. and
the maimed soldiers who were unable to
support themselves. What did this last
Radical Legislature do? They took away
every single dollar of it, and then, right
away after that, this convention met aud
passed fine high-sounding resolution

Stevens 10 introduce his sweeping con
fscation bill into the House, as he did
few days ago. Those who know this
old man OF bad eminence, are disposed
to give him credit for method in his
madness. One clause in his bill sets
aside from the proceeds to be derived
from conGscating the property of the
South, the sum Of 100000, 900, ITO be
appropriated TO pay damages done TO
loyal citizens by the civil or military
government" Of the late Confederacy.
1t will be remembered that during the
rebel raid into Pennsylvania in 1864,
the iron works of Mr.. Stevens were laid
waste and destroyed. Stevens is
"loyal" citizen. Out Of this $500, OOO,-
600, he of course, would be remunerated
in part or in whole for his losses. Being
as it is agreed he is, "a man OF princi-
pie according to his interest,"" his mo-
tive for confscating rebel property
may be fairly enough inferred to center
about his injured iron works.

EXPANDING CONSTITUTION.

1t is announced in the leading Radical
paper of the North that the old fogy
ideas of the Constitution have been dis
sipated by the war, and that Congress,
representing the will of the people, is
supreme. Speaking Of strict construc-
tionists, it says: ;" Sovereignty over the
States and over the decision Of all great
governme ntal questions resides in Con-
gress, backed by the will of the people
The President can do nothing without
the authority of law. He is at the mercy
of Congress whenever he ventures to
come in conflict with the representatives
of the national will The Supreme Court
has jurisdiction over matters Of property
and merely legal issues, not over the
grand questions settled by the war"
This extract will illustrate the extest to
which the Constitution may be expanded
by Congress: 1t is but recently that
the citizens of the United States have
begun TO realize the undeveloped
might of their Government Il has
come forth stronger than ever from the
ordeal Of tremendous war, and it is
strong with its own hitherto unsupported
strength. 1t was discovered only the
other day that it was not unconstitu-
tional to pass a bankrupt law Of untold
relief and advantage, and for q long
time it had been regarded as oonstitu-
tionally imperative to leave the control
of the currency to the individual States.
But the Constitution Of the United
States is now known to be equal to aHy
emergency; for it involves potentially
all that is essential to the preservation
and development Of our national life.
1t is idle to whine, like some old fogy
Journals. that the Constitution is in
danger Of being violated or abolished
when its inherent energies are being
brought into fuller and more vigorous
play than at any previous period in our
history"
