New ECLECTIC MAGAZINE. Baltimore: Turn
bull & Murdoch, No. 81 Lexington-street.
This monthly has now reached its fourth
volume. II has been conducted with con-
spicuous ability from the first, and still
exhibits no marks of depreciation. Iu some
respects we prefer it to the Eclectic pub
lished in Philadelphia. One Of its marked
characteristics has been the reproduction
of articles written by authors of established
celebrity; another has been the frequent
sprightly notices given of such authors, as
well as of other distinguished personages.
In the present number the thoughtful, i'm
perious farce Of John Ruskin peers out
from the frontispiece; and, in addition to
an appreciatiye sketch of this brilliant
writer, we have sprightly jottings of biogra-
ply relating to Rothschild, Schmid, the
German novelist, Rossini, and the late Mar
quis of Hastings. There are also tales by
Anthony Trollope and "John Halifax" an
instructive account of recent solar discove.
ries, and variety of reviews, criticisms
and miscellaneous articles of decided merit.

FRIDAY MORNING. JANUARY %, 1869.
Our Constitution.

The reconstruction Constitution of South
Carolina is queer piece of work. There
were many workmen, the material was not
of the choicest kind, and there was no such
harmony of plan as would secure symme-
try of proportion or delicacy of execution.
When finished, it had plank from Massa-
chusetts, plank from Ohio, many plank
from Vermont, and whole broad beam
from Africa the blest. But it was
accepted by the many-headed master,
and became the spick span new constitu-
tion of the State, under which we live and
are likely to live for many year to come.
And this constitution, with all it's cracks
and blemishes, is far betta- than that with
which the sold Dominion" was threatened.
The Virginia Constitution, as framed by
the reconstruction convention, and pro-
posed 10 be submitted to the people, is as
Infamous document as was ever devised
ny the maker of radical constitution. 1t
aakcs disfrapchisement and disqualified
ton from holding Office SO broad and sweep
ing as to deprive the people Of all hope of
decen,ly liberal government, and the leg
islative representation is so deftly arranged
that although there is large popular ma
jority of white voters, the colored and the
white Radicals must have the prepondera-
ting political power. 1t had been deter
mined to make squEre stand-up fight upon
the adoption of tho constitutions; but the
risk was too great, and committee of Vir-
ginians, consisting of the Hon. John 3.
Baldwin, the Hon. A. II. II. Stuart, the
Hon. r. W. Boiling, Mr.. DeJarnette, and
others, went to Washington to endeavor to
arrange compromise, which should give
the Radicals all that they could reasonably
demand, and at the same time give the
white Democrats some little security and
protection.
The committee have fair prospects of
success, and the terms which they are will
ling to accept as the best that can be done,
are: Universal suffrage, and no disqualif-
cation from holding Office beyond the dis
qualification provided for in the Fourteenth
constitutional amendment. This is all that
they now expect, and this is precisely
what is secured TO the citizens of South
Carolina by their present constitution.
In this State, there is no disfranchise-
ment for political reasons, and every man
who may vote can hold Office, unless he is
disqualified by the Constitution of the Uni
ted States. There is no political proscrip-
tion; 30 that South Carolina, in this par
ticular, has Jared better than Virginia,
Notwithstanding the fact that the colored
men had the majority in the convention, as
they have in the Legislature of the State.
After all, then, we might be worse off
than we are, and we have reason TO feel
that if Virginia can live and prosper under
constitution such as that which the COM
mittee propose, South Carolina can un-
doubtedly do the same. The colOred peo-
pie will not always stand in the way. For
awhile they may balk aud shy; but before
long they will work quietly in harness and
pull as steadily as the whites can pull, to
keep us out of the slough.

A Great Peace Enterprise.

The Loudon Atheneum, referring to the
field of enterprise which Iudia presents for
civil engineers, mentions tho enormous irri-
CATION works which tho British Govern
ment has decided 10 undertake in that coun
try, and the cost of which is estimated 10y
the superintendent at O hundred aud ferry
millions of dollars. A beg'uaiug has been
actually made in different places, but the
great want is said to be civil engineers who
can plan and dig canals, build dams, tanks
and reservoirs, construct cmbaukm nis and
improve river channels. II is stated that
in Central India there are nearly 124 00O,-
600 acres to be irrigated; in uindostan
1,500 600 acres still crave water; in the
Mysore district the old native structures
are being disinterred with u view to their
restoration to use; the food canals in Scindc
are to be converted into perennial streams;
tank 10 cost 100000 is amopg the works
now going on in the Deccan; two canals
leading to Calcutta are to be made-one
from the coal mines of Ranegunge, the
other from the Gangea OF Rajmahal; an
other from tho Jumna, near Delhi, will
water the Muttra and Agra districts: and
the Sutlej canal, first projected in 1861, is
now to be put in hand. In Burmab, en-
bankments are to be made, and an engi-
neering officer has been sent to see what
can be done with the Irrawadi Every
where, indeed, the fcrtilizng and refresh
ing element is to be made to q h;w, and there
is said to be work enough for thousands Of
men for more than lifetime The Athe-
neum predicts that in few more genera
tious, India will cease TO be desolltel by
famine.
the work of peaceful enterprise which
Great Britain is carrying Oh in India throws
far into the shaie her greatest military cx-
pluits in the acquisition Of that country
Such an achievement as the above, a gigan-
