Tho Advantages OF OpPosition---Tho
Policy OF Aggression and Attack.

Tho Advantages OF Oppositiou---Ths
+, IA Policy OF Aggression and Attack.
In reference to the form of political
activity in this State, as our readers are
aware, the form preferred was not oul
first choice. It is true that we advocated
just such doctrines as are ennnoiated in
the platform adopted; but as to the
method of putting them into action,
another fundamentally was preferred by
us. Bat the gist OF the matter with us
has bean secured by the action of the
Convention. The Issue OF negro suf-
frage has been eliminated from the can
vass, as was proper, and tho Convention
adopted the policy, of action, and OF
aggressive action. We have what we
want. We have the policy that we be-
ieve in. Wesee no wisdom in inactioity
in these moving times. He who stands
still will either be brushed aside or run
over. That PARTY that does not work
and move on will either be brushed
aside or overwhelmed. We must be up
and doing, and mould to our firm pur-
pose the elements around US. No
1aisses7air system will serve our pur-
pose. We esteem It, therefore, fortunate
for the State that the present administra-
tion Of our State affairs is to be chal-
Ienged before the popular tribunal.
Misrule, corruption, fraud and self-
aggrandizement are to be called in ques-
tion in the person of the guilty. and let
them be called in question. And lot US
hope that the people of the State will be
equal to the emergency that their
spirits will make them rise to the level
Of their, duties. Let US be understood.
Now, as ever, we would press the lines of
industry and immigration. But political
reform is linked with industrial deuelop-
n'ent, and we cannot put them asunder.
Let, therefore, the work of reform go
on. When the programme has been
arranged, and the workers are ready, let
them go forth and do their work tho
roughly. already has the opposition
movement done good. Already has q
boastful and arrogant faction been put
upon its good behaviour. We shall not
discourage this disposition. But still
must we be allowed to express the COM
mon distrust for enforced repentance. We
are reminded of the saying:
The devil was sick,
The devil saint WAS he;
The devil was ,ceu,
The devil saint was he.
Let the opposition, therefore, press
on, and using the weapons of truth and
fair-dealing, it must achieve large, if
not full measure. of success.

The REIGN OF CRIME IN THE
NoRTH.--The New York Herald
thinks that nothing in the history of
Christian cities-the worst capitals in
the worst ages past-can equal or
approach the dreadful prevalence OF
crime in that metropolitan shamble.
Already in one month Of this year
(says the editor) we have chronicled
a murder or attempted murder for
every day in this month, and not one
of these crimes but seems inspired by
a spirit of fendish saVagery equal to
the worst act men or devils could
oontrive."
We insist upon it that of all the
cities on this continent where a re-
form movement could be productive
of any good, New York stands pre-
eminent. Yet we do not hear of a
single Democratic paper advocating
such a movement in that city. The
reason is that all the New York city
officials are Democrats. We're they
Republicans the cry for reform would
be loud and continuous, as it ought
to be. When Republican officials be-
como as VIGOROUSLY corrupt as the
members of the Tammany organiza-
ton, our voice will be raised in favor
of ousting them and supplying their
places with better men.

The Austin (Texas) Journal has
the following comments upon the re-
cent letter of General Reynolds, de
clining to be candidate for United
States Senator:
There was a very great feeling of
disappointment manifested by the
many friends of General Reynolds on
reading his letter in the morning
Journal. in which he declined the
use of his name as. candidate for Sen
atorial honors. Words of common
dation and utterances Of praise. were
on the lips of the multitude, and were
spoken with the freshness and free
dom of the morning air, and all, with
out exception were as earnest IN the
expression of their regrets that he
thus declines the race. General Rey-
nolds has made for himself splendid
record in the army, which gives prom
Use. if possible, of still greater bril-.
liancy in the future. His election
to the United States Senate by the
General Assembly of Texas, was a
compliment unsought by him, but
which he merited in the fullest sense
Of that word The General is now
and aItCdys has BEEN, an earnest, faith
full, consistent and incorruptible Re.

The Canal Debt.

In view Of the danger of having
the Wabash and Erie canal debt sad
died upon the State, through bribery
and fraud, and the necessity of an
early amendment to the constitution
of the State forever preventing the
same, the Indianapolis Journal makes
tbefollowing suggestion to Governor
Baker:
Now, we suggest that Governor
Baker call a short session Of the
present Legislatures week or two
will be enougn-and let the amend
ment be adopted. The next session
of January, 1871, can re-adopt it, and
the people can ratify, either by spe-
cial election or at the regular election
of 1872. Thus the amendment will
be completed. and the State made safe
against the Wall street speculations
in two years, and with but a single
session of the Legislature to risk in
their clutches. IF there is a general
expression of the Republican party In
favor of this movement, we have no
doubt that Governor Baker will make

What say our Republican papers?
Let US add one further considera.
ton. In the State Senate in 1867
Bayless W. Hanna, of Vigo, when
the subject of prohibiting the re.
sumption of the canal, and of the
debt for which it was surrendered
was under discussion, denounced it a:
a form of Reputation. That show;
which way he leans. The Democratic
party have endorsed his opinion BY
nominating him for Attorney General
IF he is elected he will give his Off
cial opinion, as the law officer of the
State, In favor of resuming debt 0.
seven millions and a half of dollars
and fastening upon the people fol
years, the three hundred and severity
five thousand dollars annual tax Il
pay the interest. The Democratic
party is virtually committed to til,
scheme, and its leaders will hold tn
rank and file steady to its support
We must put it out of the power o
any party to saddle US with this enor
nous and unjust debt.
We approve the proposition, but a
the same time we want to know tina
our State ticket is above suspicion o.
this question.

THE present House of Representa-
tives in Congress is doing nobly. II
is deserving of the highest praise on
the part of the people. Were the
Senate to emulate its example, the
people and government would be rid
CT many abuses which have grown
hoary with age and federation. The
franking privilege was wiped out with
one sweep of the legislative sponge,
and the House Mileage Committee,
we are informed, will report in favor
of reducing the mileage of Congress-
men from twenty cents per mile to
ten cents By the nearest route. The
mileage, like the ranking, privilege,
has been productive of unmixed evil,
and it ought not longer to be toll
Grated. 1t has been the occasion of
more fraudulent representations, if
anything, than the Thanking privilege.
We fear that the Senate will not re-
spond to the action of the House.
That grave and reverend body will
hold on to its privileges with death
like tenacity.

A WASHINGTON correspondent as
serts that the Committee of Ways and
Means have agreed to cut down the
Income Tax to three per cent. on in
comes over $1,000, and that they con-
slider the proposed reduction on tea
and coffee as beginning, to be fol-
lowed up with. further reduction until
these articles shall be imported free.
The consideration of the new tariff
bill may not be commenced for two
weeks yet. The prospect for the pas
sage of the bill is not regarded az
brilliant. and the belief that no radi-
cal change will be made at the pres
ent session in duties on imports is be-
coming quite general. We have in
sisted all the time that the only OBJ
ject the Committee on Ways and
Means had, in introducing their high
tariff bill, was to gain time and pre-
vent the House from taking action on
the present law. All our informa-
tIen Of late gees to sustain this be-
lief. We are confident the present
law with all its imperfectioDs will not
be materially disturbed. tits equally
certain that Gen. Schenck's bill will
be repudiated an toto. It's adoption
would create storm in the western
states, which would prove disastrous to
the Republican party.

THE Princeton folks are highly
elated over the election of DR.. Lewis,
of that town, as a Director in the
Louisville, New Albany & St. Louis
Railroad Company. They regard his
election as equivalent to locating the
road through that place in preference
to the more northen route through
Patoka. IF we may be allowed sug-
gestion, we advise the Gibson County
people to see to it, that all their dona-
tons to the road are spent between
Princeton and Mt. Carmel. By per.
severance they may secure a road tc
the Wabash River, and give the peo-
pie Of Mt. Carmel and vicinity a rail-
road outlet. Princeton being the
place for re-shipment would derive a
good deal of profit from the trade
And besides it may be several months
before the entire road from New Al
bany to st. Louis is completed.

SHARP PARLIAMENTARY PRACTICE.
During the session of the colored
convention, a motion was made and
carried to extend the evening session
beyond the limits agreed on. A del
gate who was opposed to the project,
and had not voted, arose and object
ed to the extension. He was decided
too late, as the vote had been taken.
He then asked and obtained leave by
general consent to record his vote.
He then voted in the affirmative, and
instantly moved reconsideration of
the vote extending the session, on the
ground that he had voted in the ma
jority, which is the requisite de-
manded by parliamentary rules. The
vote extending the session was re-
considered and the decision of the
Convention reversed. What do our
legislative parliamentarians think of
that?- Commonwealth.

thirty seven to West Virginia. In the
class of agriculture the examiner re-
ports that in 1859 the number of ap-
plications from the South, as compared
with those from the North, was less
than two and half per cent. of the
whole number In 1869 the number
of applications from the South was in
creased to over twenty three per cent
of all the cases in my class"

Tennessee Constitution.

The recent State Convention, COM
posed of seventy five delegates chosen
by the whole people. have, after six
weeks elaboration, reported new
Constitution. It seems to be, on the
whole, a pretty fair organic law for a
great and growing State. The new
Constitution restricts the Legislature
TO seventy-fve days for regular ses
sion; gives the Governor limited
veto power; provides for a general
act of Incorporation; prohibits the
issue of bonds to delinquent railroads
increases the Supreme Judges from
three to FIVE; makes the franchise
universal, on payment of poll tax
(for school purposes); and requires a
thirds vote for any loan of pub
lie credit. It is to come before the
people for ratification on March &c.
This is a peaceful revolution. It fur
nfshes a far better fundamental law
th@S that which was shaped in 1876
at &, xville; and if her citizens shall
maintal their purpose Of establish
ing uniyelsal equity, we may yet hope
for grand tnSgs from the State that
has given thru Presidents to the re-
public.

FENIAN papers are much excited
over the recent Papal bull Illuminated
against their organization. They de-
nounce it as THE result of English
intrigue at Rome" One of them says,
1t shows the bias of the Court of
Rome, and has been received by Fe-
mans as so much distant thunder"
The Irish Republic states that the
bull has not driven a single
man out of the organization" a
correspondent of the Dublin
freshman thinks it is a continuance
of England to break down and de-
stroy "Catholicity" in Ireland, and
says: IF William Shakespeare again
appears, in the person of Plus TX,
there will arise such a storm as may
astonish those who think they may
bully the people with impunity, and
adds: "St. Laurence lives in the mem
DRY of his countrymen," while they
hate the memory of Shakespeare. He
is sure that Irish nationality" cannot
be destroyed by cursing The writer
asserts that the bull has moved Irish
men to join the Fenians who have
heretofore stood aloof. - st. Louis

The Asylum for Dogs.

TO the Bdttog of The Evening 1tlcgTdDh-
We are sorry to see by THE EVENING TELB-
GRAPE of Saturday last that the object of the
Dog Home has been misconstrued It was al
legged to be "Quixotic" enterprise, and at the
same time kindly advising us to transfer our
time and money in aid of the poor. Feeling IL
10 be unjust towards the public that they should
be misinformed, we will briefly explain the
object of this much-needed institution. All who
profess to pity the sufferings of animals must
be panied TO see numbers of starving and
homeless dogs running at large In our midst.
To remedy this evil II is proposed by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
to build home" where all stray dogs can be
taken and cared for. Those that have been lost
will be given to their owners on the payment OF
a small reward, while those that are worthless
and diseased will be rnercifully killed, thereby
preventing hydrophobia. Those who desire to
obtain valuable dogs will also be accommodated,
by 90 doing tending to diminish the breeding OF
dogs for the purpose of obtaining the sum paid
for them at the pound-a practice which leads
the "dog-catchers." In answer to the hint SO
kindly given in behalf of the poor, we have only
to point to the number Of asylums and homes,
already greatly in debt; and when such is the
case we think IL scarcely desirable to increase
the number. Human beings are endowed with
the gift of speech, and are generally not bashful
in expressing their wants; animals, on the con-
trary should be considered as charge from our
Creator, in return for which it is our duty to
''use and not abuse"
