When the new Constitution for the State
Of Illinois is submitted TO the vote Of the people,
they will be required to express their acceptance
or rejection Of the following provision for the
election Of representatives in the Legislature;
"The House OF Representatives shall consist OF
three times tue number Of the MEMBER OF the SEN
ate, and the term Of once shall be two years Three
representatives, shall be elected In each Senatorial
district at the general election In the year A. ID.
1914, and every two years thereafter. In all cleo
tons Of representatives Aforesaid, each qualified
voter may cast as many votes for one candidate a
there are representatives, to be elected may dis
tribute the zane, or equal parts thereof. among
the candidates, as he shah it, and the candidates
ssst In votes shall be declared elected"
The ot,jiccet of this plan is to secure to the
minority representation propOrhoned to their
numbers, and not permit hem, a. is said to be
often the case under the present system, either
to elect majority Of the representatives or ~
deprived Of representation altogether.

In volume of the English Note Books
Of NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, recently published
in Boston, that genial author describes en-
entertainment 10 which he was invited at
Liverpool in October, 1854. The occasion
was the transfer Of the ship James Barnes
TO the British Gag. She wos the work Of DONALD
MCKAY Of Boston, and had been brought over TO
Liverpool to be delivered to the merchants for
whom she was built. Mr.. HAWTHORNE describes
her as very fine clipper ship, and the entertain
ment which celebrated her passing into English
hands seems to have been very rich and festive.
This event occurred only sixteen years ago; and
now the question is discussed in the newspapers
whether American merchants may not be allowed
to buy ships in England and transfer them to the
flag Of the United States-so entirely has the
business Of ship-building been destroyed in this
country since the time when DONALD MCKAY
could beat the English builders in constructing
vessels for the british market The reasons
given for this decline are many. and we shall not
here attempt 70 discuss them: but it is
worthy Of note that, while all other mar
thine countries have kept lines Of steam
ers upon the ocean by means Of postal
subsidies, the United States have repudi-
ated that policy. And now we have not 4 single
steamer upon the Atlantic, nor is there q single
vessel building to navigate that ocean in all our
shipyards.

Yesterday, before Justice Scott, Mrs. Ellen n.

The Republicans Feel the BLOW.

The recent elections would seem TO indi-
cate turn in the drift of the political tide
The defeat of 80 worthy and personally &C
ceptable candidate as Gov. JEWELL in
Connecticut, last April, was doubtless due
70 the unpopularity Of Gen. GRANTS Admin.
istration, and especially TO it's anti.American,
eowardly, and shameful attitude on the Cuban
question. The overwhelming Democratic
majority in this State at the judicial election
was caused in great measure by the die
arrangement and Generalization diffused
through the ranks Of the Republican party
by the absence ofany inspiring idea in the con-
duct Of our affairs and by the uEwise Federal
appointments made from this State ard city.
The loss of Oregon is also q severe blow to
the Administration. The scat of Mr. WILL
LIAMs, the present Republican Senator, and
one Of the foremost men Of the Pacific slope,
was at stake, his term of Office expiring in
March next. Great exertions were there.
fore put forth by the Administration 70 carry
the Leg stature; but the Democrats having
secured both branches, member of that par.

The most signal and significant Of these
defeats is the election Of EMERy as Mayor Of
Washington, by more than 5000 majority
over BOWEN, the regular Republican candi-
date, and the confidential friend of the Presi-
dent Now that this catastrophe has hap
pened 10 the Administration, of course Its
champions declare that Gen. GRANT took no
interest in the matter land that the failure to
achieve the triumph of his favorite is not
= striking proof Of his weakness at the
Federal capital The people do not believe
this and, at all events. every shrewd politi.
clan will assert that if the President did not
use every effort in his power to elect Bowen,
he ought to have done 30, and that his de
linquency only affords another proof Of his
incapacity to lead great party in a trying
crisis.
In any view Of the result, the stunning
overthrow of Bowen, under the very eye Of
the White House, in the presence of a
Republican Congress, and in city swarming
with the benefciaries of the President, must
be accepted as an indication that either his
days or those of his party are drawing to a

That eminent railroad potentNte, Commo-
dore VANDERBILT, is fertile in expedisnts TO make
all competing lines pay tribute to the New York

ever, he sometimes overshoots the mark, as in his
contest with the Erie Company. Failing to bring
FISK and GOULD 70 terms, be cut of connection
with their road between Buffalo, Niagara Falls,

TO receive passengers and baggage on Erie through
tickets works injuriously to the interests Of that
Company, by depriving it Of the business of the
Great Western Railway of Canada, and compel.
ling the through travel to take the Central and
Hudson River lines, or submit 10 vexstious de-
lays and enhanced rates OF fare. This the Com
modore believed would put the Erie people in

A proposition, first heard Of two hundred
years ago. has just been revived. II is. that a canal
shall be opened across the neck which unites Cape
Cod with the main land Of Massachusetts. 1t
viii connect Buzzard's bay with Barnstable bay,
and will very nearly follow the line which divides
Barnstable county from Plymouth county. Sous
set river on the north and Monument river on the
south will form part Of this canal. The space
between their head waters is only three quarters
Of mile in width, and the hills to be cut through
are nowhere over $50 feet high. The estimated
expense Of the work, including a breakvatey In
Darnstable bay, to protect the northern extremity
Of the canal, will be nearly $lo0oo,ooO 1t is
stated that 1000 vessels passed Cape Cod in the
year 1869, and that the average Of shipw.ecks in
that region during the past ten years has been
SIXTY year. This proposed canal will save the
necessity Of the long and dangerous navigation
around the Cape, and it is expected that it will
be very largely used, and will pay. We are sorry
to observe, however, that the gentlemen engaged
in the enterprise want Congress TO furnish the
$4,000, 900 which their breakwater in Barnstable
bay will cost If the undertaking is a good one,
it ought to DO profitable enough without such a
gift from the National Government.
