6kFuaT OF THE REYEHuEC EC0aMITfEE,
The Committee On Revenue has reported
to the Constitutional Convention some wise
and Just clauses for the defsnce Of tho
Stats Treasury. which, II adopted by the
convention, will remove the serious objec-
tions Of large portion Of the State to the
notion previously had.
The report provides that the moneys &C
1uipg to the State under the charter Of the
Illinois Central Rail~sy shall bo paid into
the State Treasury, and forever constitute
po1tion Of tho revenue Of the State; the
General Assembly never to have tho power
to release the said company from the OBJ
legation.
Sections 2, 3, and 4 are repetidons Of
sections on like subjects in the present
constitution Section a1es the period Of
the right If redemption from tax safss at
not less than two years,-the Legisla'ure to
provide by Law for sufficient notices Of the
Ra1e and Of the expirnion Of the right Of
redemption; and Section G provides that the
Legisla.ure may direct that all delinquent
tax hsts be returned to the same general Of
fioer in a county. who alone may sell tho
same, upon osdertof the Court. The s1ti-
Gle then provides
!. That the Legislature shall have no
power to release or discharge any county,
city, township, OF town, or the inhabitants
or property thereof. from their proper
tionate share Of taxes, to be levied for
State purposes; nor shall any oommuta-
tion Of such taxes be authorized.
9. All taxes levied for State purposes
shall be paid into the State Treasury.
3. All appropriations Of ths State
revenue shall be from the revenue fund in
general contained in the State Treasury;
und no appropriation Of The tax collected
or to be collected from any particular
locality or diatrict, or anv desiguated prop
erty or source of revenue, ahall erer be
made.
Firmly as We believe that the rule Of
permitting majority Of tho people Of
town or county, or even two-thirds thereof,
by mere vote, to mortgage the property Of
the opposing minority, to be irreconcilAbls
with any principle OF law and justics, still
all that We demand is that those countiea
| which do not thus act shal not be IN
eolved, directly or indirectly, in the
consequences Of such policy. II the
counties which elect to mortgage the prop
e1ty Of their people in aid Of railroads viii
agree to keep their hands OF the property
Of other counties which purzue u wiser
policy, they will themselves be the only suf-
feresR. What we inEist upon Is. that the

The New York Sun attempts to answer
our doubts relative to the existence Of an
active insur7ection in Cuba, and to prove
that there IL revolution On foot, BY al-
leRipg that the Spanish hare an army OF
los, 900 men in Cubs and forty-four man
of-war and gunboats on the coast for tho
suppression Of the revolution, According
10 this mode Of proof, il the Spanish had
no army or navy whatever. the revolution
would make no sign, and Spanish authority
would be undisputed. Now, va deny tho
al1egsd Dimensions Of the Spanish army
still more e.nphadcal1y than ws doubt the
revolution. AZ to our syupathies being On
the side Of slavery in this contest, he sue-
aeshoa is novel one, and wo will think
about it.
II the revolution continues, Cuba, as
sugar-producing country, will IN year or
two nnore be converted into jungle, and
the price Of sugar In tho United States will
bs doubled. That may be interesting to
such q arc engaged N trying to develop
tho beet sugar business, but to Us, who arc
more desirous 10 have sugaf cheap than to
determine where it shall be raised, or under
what form Of government, We think the
sooner both Spanish and Cubans stop
marsuding and 90 to work, the better for
themselves, ths world, the consumers Of
sugar, and the cause Of freedom.

yer township propose to yots $40, 600 in aid
OF The Muscatins, Ke~anee i Eastern Rail

Rest that the people send committee to
keokuk and to Muscattne, each of which il
proposed a the terminus Of road, andin-
quire what those cities know Of tho policy
Of voting railroad Subscriptions. They
will find the real and personal properly Of
both cities in the hAnds, of the

tions to collect by forced sale
The accrued interest on similar railroad did
debts. They will learn that these subscrip-
s:ous, instead Of beaeiting eithsr place, or
adding cent to the vaine Of the property,
hare been Is mlllstone around the necks
Of The two cities, bringing them to the point
of impove1ishment OF resistance to the
Federal authority. These committees would
probably b. advised by the people Of Mus
catine and Of Keokuk that bitter expert
ence has proved to them that municipal aid

and bankruptcy that it entails debt which
hts to be paid by taxation, and for which
the municipality has nothing to show. The

BANGOR, Me-, July IA.
One of the most destructive tornadoes
which we have ever experienced, passed over
this vicinity this afternoon, between three
and four o'clock. 1t was accompanied with
hail, thunder and lightning, and torrents OF
rain. In this city but little damage was
done, one house being struck by lightning
with slight damage, and trees being twisted
and broken down. In the adjoining towns
the storm was much more severe, and the dam
age much greater. In Hampden, Orrington,
5ucksport, Brewer and Holden, houses and
barns were blown down, fences demolised,
and in some instances, all the glass on the
side of the houses exposed to the storm,
were entirely broken out by the hail, which
fell so thickly that it lay in winrows.
One man in Orrington who had cut his
hay and stacked it up in the field, had i,
taken up by the wind and scattered far and
wide. One house containing family was
removed from its foundation, and another
was blown down without injury to the in
mates. The damage TO the growing crops
must be considerable.

Prince Hohc nzollern agreed to continue the
negotiations to obtain from the King of Prus-
STA his official renunciatian now and forever,
of all professions to the throne of Spain on
the part of any number Of the Hohenzollern
family.
1t appears that the King of Prussia has
refused to receive Count Benedict or to sign
the promise required of him by the French
government.
The Emperor left st. Cloud this morning
by special train, and arrived at the Tuillcries

At half past three o'clock this afternoon
the Presidents of the Senate and the Corps

informed that the government would have a

Mr.. Zina o. Sprague is building a neat and
commodious dwelling house on his lot on
Sewall street, in this city. Although he is
employed ten hours each day in the railroad
shop, the house has been erected during the
season, almost by his own hands, in the hours
that men usually take for refreshment and rec
reation. This is manifesting a spirit of energy
and enterprise which if adopted by other me-
chanics who are paying large portion of their
income for house rent, would result in the es-
Enlistment of many happy homes throughout
the city. Mr.. Sprague is putting roof on
his house, with the prospect Of completing the
whole before snow flies.
