moral SUAsIoN-In the proceed

General Patton offered a resolution that

lows For the first otfense, twenty-four
hours imprisonment for the second Of
ense, forty-eight hours and the punish
ment for each subsequent otfense to be
double that Of that Immediately preceding.
The General never does things by halves,
and if the passage of such a law as he pro-
poses, would stay the swelling tide of in
temperance, the Legislature would advance
the cause of morality, by Immediately en-
acting it.

O good deal like the hero OF Tom Hoods
nautical ballad-its death is going to happen
In its birth. The scheme never had much show
of stability, and 1t is rapidly losing what little
force 1t at first possessed. Lower Canada is
jealous Of Upper Canada, and the maritime
provinces are warmly hostile to both. The
chiefs are quarrelling over the spoils (; the
people are dissatisfied with the nominations.
By the cable we learn to-day that large bodies
of troops are TO be sent TO Canada from Eng.
land TO repel o threatened Feniau invasion.
This pretext Is, Of course, oil bosh. The real
mission Of the military will doubtless be TO
suppress tho internal disorders which are ex.
pected 10 arise after the coming election, and
to bolster up 40 far - possible the dominion
scheme. Il 10 hopeless case. Popular dis.
affection Is 90 great that despite oil the efforts

On Thursday member Of the Convention
informed that body that there was growing
disposition on the part Of the people to reject
any constitution it might propose. Very
likely, and, If true, very proper on the part Of
the people; for the truth is the Convention
will never propose any constitution. As it is
now going on it may submit 10 the people two
or three codes-a code Of canal laws, for in.
stance, and codes Of other laws In relation to
our several great institutions but these are
not what the people want, and II will be a
robbery of the public treasury il these men,
sent 10 Albany to frame Q constitution, are
paid six dollars day for any other labor.

name of this modern Othello. 1t is said that
twenty-five or thirty years ago he crossed the
Atlantic as q servant Of the elder Wallack, and

a greater sensation In Europe than many
another. negro. In Europe folks always go
wild over a negro We remember what q
sensation was created at every hotel where
we stopped, while once travelling abroad, by
. coal black African who served as our courier.
He had been carefully trained as courier,
could speak glibly half dozen languages,
and was an excellent, faithful servant But
Ira Aldridgs himself could not have been an
object of greater curiosity and admiration than
our courier wherever he appeared. He con-
verted all the chambermaids into Desdemonas.

could expect to be such rare birds as they
proved in Europe. Seriously speaking, what

should be more eager to utilize him during
