The Ways to Success.

Two or three of the richest men In this
country have recently given, in senten
tious language, the secret of their world
ly success and fortune. "There is no
secret about it," said Commodore Van
-derbilt; ''all you have to do is to attend
to your business and go ahead-except
that one thing" added the Commodore,
and that is, never to tell what you are
going to do till you have done it," The
millionaire DemocIat, who has been
running for Governor of Pennsylvania,
and who has no views whatever on po-
litical subjects, recently gave his idea OF
the way to get rich, in the remark:
Economy and safe investment are
about the best means of attaining finan-
cial prosperity" George Law, also,
who is tolerably rich man, though not
quite IS rich as Vanderbuilt or Asa
Packer, remarked in conversation a few
days ago: "There is nothing as easy as
making money when you have money
to make it with; the only thing is to see
the crisis aud take it. at its flood" and,
when further pressed to tell the secret
of his own success, he quickly respond
ed: Determination to work, and work
ing" The opinion are certaiuly worth
something, and will doubtless be eagerly
studied by young men ambitious of
wealth. But they are incomplete with
out remark of A. T. Stewart, who is
richer than either Vanderbilt or Asa
Packer, and who told an anxious inquir-
err short time ago, that he considered
honesty and truth great aids in the
gaining of fortune."-[N. Y. Tribune.

The Income Tax.

From what has been developed within
few days past, it Is evident that the
question of repeal or modification OF the
income Tax will cause excited and pro-
longed discussion in the approaching
session of Congress. The matter Is or
especial Importance to large corpora
tio.,s and individuals of immense in
come. Certain of these have combined,
il is alleged, and formed a party with q
large aggregate fund subscribed TO use
in lobbying the repeal of the Income
Tax which expires by limitation next
June, and failing in this, to prevent a
continuance OF that law in modified
form, az is proposed by another party
A few Representatives and Senators
have made known their purpose OF op-
posing the continuance OF the law In
any form, and will demand that it be
permitted to drop from the statute book
with the expiration of the limitation 4!
ready fixed by law. On theother hand,
= large number of Congressman are
known to be in favor of modifying the
law and continuing it indefinitely
There is variance of opinion as to the
extent of modification, some advocating
two or three per cent. instead OF hVe,
with the provision that no income less
than five thousand dollars shall te tax
ed. Other. argue that three Thousand
dollars should be the limit. These diff
ferences can be readily reconciled, 1t is
argued, and this accomplished, the ma
jority in both branches of Congress is
very decidedly in favor of re- enactiDs
the law in q modified form.-Boston

Don't Keep Us Waiting.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
One of the safe rules for success in
life is, TO be up to time We know
that there are men who are negligent of
the duty of punctuality, who stiil are
successful in spite of that great fault
But such men are remarkable for capaci-
ty, cleverness or adrOitness in escaping
difficulty. AID as their greatest tri-
amphs are in the mastery of the obsta-
cles of their own creation, the question
in their case naturally rises. whether
they would not effect much more than
they do, if it were not that their own
carelesssness makes double work for
themselves.
But ali men are not remarkable. The
number is very few of those who can
afford to neglect anything which will
aid them in the pursuit OF their calling
whatever il may be. And, rs we have
said, the gre itest assurance OF pfOsperi-
w is in readiness for each duty as it
presents itself. Every employment aud
every appointment interests ether par
ties; and the man who fails TO keep his
promise, or who disappoints the reason
able eXpectat ons of other people, de-
ranges their plans and their business. as
his own. There is saying recorded of

Ratification Final.

The newly-eiec,ed Legislature of New
York being OF the Copperhead order, ii
is thought that that body will attempt to
rescind the vote by which the Fifteenth
Amendment was ratified. On this head
the Chicago Tribune says:
\ resembling resolution would not be

zen. When a Stage once ratiieS all

ted Dy Congress the act Is nuaI 50 lar as
tnat state is concerned. A state may
withhold ner consent; and, IL one-fourtn
OF ali the States wItlnold their consent,
the prop used amendment Is not adopted.
a Legislature is not bound To act on an
amendment. Ii may vote not TO ratify,
or il may decline 10 vote at all. 80 long
as the consent of the state IS withheld
it counts against the Iatliication; but,
whenever 8 majsrlty OF eacn branch OF
the Legislature votes to ratliy, the sane
ton OF the State. Is given, and the act Is
Irrevocabie. The Constitution makes no
provision Tor resembling state yotea OF
ratification al any subsequent period.
The power OF the state over the question
IS exhausted when It's assent has been
obtained in the mode prescribed by the
Constitution. The formal ratification of
the Fifteenth Amendment by the State
of New York has been certified TO the
state Department by the Governor, and
that ends the matter, so far AS that Stale
is concerned. Amendments 10 the Con-
stitution are not like footballs, To be
kicked backward and forward between
Congress and the State Legislatures, but
are solemn, irreversibie acts OF the Ma
tional and State Governments, and each
step is compete in itself. Congress can-
not recall an amendment after it mas
been submitted 10 The states any more
than State can recall its mt after 1t
has agreed TO the amendment.
For New York to rescind her ratitica-
ton would be to commit an outrage and
a fragrant wrong on twenJy-one sister
states which ha ratified The amend
ment, eud on the remaining states
which intend doing so. Playing fast
and loose in that way is something
not contemplated or permitted by the
constitp't ion, which points out hew
state may consent to an amendment,
out prescribes no mode of undoing the
act. Let those who claim that State
may rescind its ratification cite clause
OF the Constitution of the United States
which authorizes il to be done. If they

doctrine of State Imperialism, We psint

The Twiggs Swords.

The arrest of General Butler in New
York, at the instance of Miss RowenA
Florence, for having, in 1862, appropri
ated the jeweled swords which mad
been given her by General Twiggs, has
attracted so much notice that the publi
cation OF the following facts, obtained
from the records of Congress, will be
interesting by way of explanation. On
the 1st of July, 1852, Gen. Butler, in his
letter to President Lincoln, accompany
ing the swords, said, after describing the
weapons:
"Gen. Twiggs left these swords with young
woman on the evening before he fled from New
Orleans, and on his flight on the day of the ap-
proach OF the feet, he wrote in his carriage,
while enroute. this extraordinary paper:
"'I leave my swords to Miss Rowend Florence
and box of silver. d. f. TwIGGS.'"
"'New Orleans, April 25, lS62.''
1.-THE paper was claimed as deed of gift of
these very valuable weapons by the young wo-
man named, but as she had neglected to inform
her father of tns singular donation, cBLs1 Jtgys,
aud as the girls mother caused them to be given
to a negro, to be sent back to General Twigss's
house, ventured To interfere with this testa
mentary deposition"
When Congress assembled, Mr.. Lin
coin sent the following messages to the
two Houses:
"FeIlow-citizens OF the Senate and House OF
- nave in my possession three valuable
swords, formerly the property of General d. E.
TwIggs. which now place at the disposal OF
Congress. They were forwarded TO me from
New Orleans, by Major General Benjamin +.
Butler. IL they, or any of them, shall be by
Cong ress disposed Of in reward or compliment
of military service, think General Butler is
entitled to the first consideration.
"a copy of the Generals letter to me, accom-
panying the sword, is herewith transmitted.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
December u, 1852"
Senator Wilson subsequently intro
duced resolution bestowing the sword
Congress gave Twiggs TO General Butler,
and donating one to West Point Acad-
emy, and the other to the Patent Oflice.
The resolution, however, has never been
acted upon.

The people of New York have amend
ed their Judiciary system at the recent
election. The new system provides for
seven Appeal Judges holding Office for
fourteen years. The existing Supreme
Court. the judicial districts and the
number of Justices as fixed by law, are
continued. General Terms of this Court
are provided for. but no Justice shall sit
therein, or in the Appeals, in review of
a decision made by himself, or by any
Court of which he was at the time sit
ting member below. The local courts
in the counties of New York, Kings and
Erie are continued as at present; also
the county courts throughout the State
No Judge or justice can hold Office after
his SEVENTEEN year. Thejudgesin coun-
ties of less than forty thousand popula-
ton are also to act as Surrogates. The
Constitution provides for three years
trial of the new system, but the question
shall be submitted to the people in 1873
whether these judicial offices shall con-
tinue elective, or be filled by appoint
