AMENDMENTS TO THE STATE CoNsTITuTIoS.-At
the election in September the people will be call
ed upon to vote Eyes or ''no" on four propos-
ed amendments to the State Constitution all of
which are important and should be understood
by the electors. These proposed amendments
may be briefly stated as follows;
Ito abolish special judicial elections.
ITO elect n State Superintendent of Public
Instruction in 1862 and every four years there
after.
3.-To authorize the Legislature to pass law
making the payment Of poll-tax prerequisite
to the exercise of the elective franchise.
40 prohibit the Legislature from making
any appropriation of money, for any purpose
whatever, for longer period than two years.
The Marysvle Appeal remarks that special ju-
dicial elections are such farce that every voter
IN the State stands ready to say "yes" to the
proposed amendments and we entirely concur
in the opinion. 1t is quite impossible to sepa-
rate tue judicial from the political Parties we'll
have their partizan candidates for Judges as we'll
as candidates for Governors. We opposed the
amendment to the Constitution making snecial
elections for the choice of Supreme Court Judges.
ana the experiment has resulted as we predicted.

GOLD TIME :"

Here is an exquisite little poem, which ap-
pear in the Chicago Journal. and il probably ;
from the pen of B. F. Taylor It is a perfec
gem
There's beautiful song on the slufnbrous air,
That drifts through the valley of dreams;
1t comes from cline where the roses were,
And truthful heart and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes of azure and eyes of brown,
And snow-white forehead are there;
A glimmering cross and glittering crown,
A thorny led and q couch of down
Lost hoEe and leaflets prayer.
A breath OF Spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the auiyering pines -
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods,
A bubble of brooklets, scent of buds,
Bird MARBLES and ciambering vines.
A rosy wreath and dimpled hand,
ring and pighted VOW
Three golden l1ks of broken band,
tiny track on the snow-white sand,
A tear and sinless brow
There's tincture of grief in the beautiful song
That sobs on the slumbrous air,
And loneliness, felt in The festive throng
Sinks down on the soul as it trembles along
From cline where the roses were.
We heard it first at the dawn Of day,
And it mingled with matin chimes,
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And it's melody foweth from far away,
And we call it now Old Times.

a Paris Exposition letter says: "The
American departmet of arms seems to at
tract Napoleon's attention more than any
other in the Exposition. He comes there
very often and makes queries and gets
statistics of the humblest. Indeed, he
shows his good taste by examining our
models, for they comprise one of the few
redeeming features of our Department.
There are the famous gun which threw
shells so many miles during the rebellion,
and guns and pistols from all the great
private and public manufactures of arms
in massachusetts, Connecticut and Ne
York"

I agree heartily with vou as to the

The New Role Of the Democratic
Press.

In kindlyway we have had oc-.
casion to give our contemporary, the
Courier, some good advice in reference
to its position on the African ques
ton, and called its attention to such
articles as that from the New York
World, in which the press and party
are advised to get beforehand with
the Radicals y in the good opinion of
the negroes But it does not accept
our advice in the good ratured spirit
in which we offer it, and it flies into
terrible tantrums when we publish
the proceedings of such Democratic
meetings as the late Nashville Con
.yention. 4 But we notice that the
Democratic press of the country very
generally, following the orders from
thor New York chief, have joined the
Corps sd Afrique, and are drilling
vigorously. Like raw recruits, all
ways the first efforts are somewhat
awkward, but, in time, all will go
well. Unctieus words now fail upon
the surprised znsgfO from lips that, a
month ago, never openedsbut to,eurse
him. In a, short time the rich African
fragrance Will doubtless be as Sc
ductive and ,alluring war-cry of the
Democracy as was the rich Irish
brogue lof.old.A We recommend to
these anxious neophytes, for their
own comfort, the careful study of

Twill be remembered thatwe pub

aid not very complimentary to our
neighboring city of New Albany The
Commercial, of that city, charges the
Ledger with giving publicity to the
unjust statement, in the first instance,
and holds ii responsible for the SLAM
der. The Commercial says:
THE Herald was, before the war, a
rebel sheet, and since the war has
been more rebellious than ever, so re-
bellious that it has been kicked by
even the Louisville Courier, 'cuffed by
the Democrat, and Kissed at by the
Journal. If.here was any backward
ness in giving in this city for
the relief of the South it was on the
part of those traitorous Copperheads
who, sympathizing with the Herdtd,
were afraid they would be feeding
