CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.

The enlightenment of the Democracy on
the subject of the Constitution is wonderful
Even the most ignorant men, who can with
diffculty-by partial attention manage 10
spell out plain printing-are thoroughly
posted on the subject of Constitutional
Law. We met a Demoerat-so. called
few days since, who affirmed that bv the
Constitution it is expressly provided that
Congress shall not emit bills of credit. or
make anything else than gold and silver =
legal tender. He said he had a copy of the
Constitution and could show the clause. and
vent off to find it. We left about that
time in order, if perchance he did find the
work, he might have time to read it And
we have heard several of these enlightened
expounders of the Constitution affirm that
they had often read it and heard it read on
tho Fourth Of Jaly.
nS claim OF the Democrats to bo the
peculiar expounders of the Constitution
would result IN their reading the documenl
and the proceedings of the convention thai
framed it, and the decisions Of the court up-
On it, the manifestations of their ooBceited
ignorance might be the more patiently
borne. At present, however, those who
are the most blatant about the Constitution
are those who have read it the least and NJ.

The result in the State is very close.
Why this is the case it is needless for us to
say. Almost every reader of the INQUIRER
knows that the apathy throughout the
country was, in great measure, the cause.
In this county several townships did not do
their duty and the result is that there is an
increased Copperhead majority. We expect
to have something to say in regard to this
matter in the future.

The Tuscarawas Aarocate says As an IL
lustration of the Advantages resulting from
manufactures, we need only look to our
neighboring town of Canton. Not many
years ago Canton was one of the dullest and
least progressive towns in Ohio. Instead of
increasing in wealth and population, it was
retrograding, as no one thought it worth
while to locate there, aud the young and en-
ergetic were leaving for more progressive To-
calties. Finally, one man, a Mr.. Ball,
having invented an improvement in NOW
ing machines proposed that the citizens of
Canton should loan him $4,000, to manu-
facture them at that place. They did it,
and that one factory was the nucleus around
which the following have gathered Two
immense agricultural implement manufac-
tories, one of plows exclusively, one of
stoves and hollow-ware, one Of paper and
mower knives, one of saddlery hardware,
two of furniture, one Of horse rakes, one of
farm wagons, one of cultiyators, one of
wrought iron bridges, one of soap, besides
a large number Of Others more or less ex-
tensive.

SUNsPoTs AND METEoRIc SHOWERS. ~
Mr. Schwabe has noticed a connection be-
tween these two classes Of phenomena. lie
finds that the minimum Of spot frequently
comedies very remarkably with the recur-
renee Of meteoric showers, the period of ro-
tatiou Of which, viz, 80, , years, agrees with
a larger period Of the sun spots. In 1888
there was an extreme scarcity Of spots (only
80 very small groups being observed), and
in 1861, after 33 years, the phenomena
repeats itself From the lst Of January to
June s, be had Observed only six small
groups, and out of l33 days Of observation
there were 100 without spots. In the year
lS4S, which is the middle Of the S3;2 years
period, there was a maximum Of spots. II
the 80 years period should be established by
future observations, then a maximum OF
meteoric showers would always occur after
three years of the usual sunspot periods IT
