That was not an assembly of religious
ly inclined persons by any means; but
the fervcat petition of the judge met witt,
a warm aud impulsive response of "Amen"
from nearly all present.
Again the boy came forward and lifted
the box. His lips were tightly shut, and
the old quivering of the limbs was hushed.
The only sound IN that saloon. above the
deep breathing of the spectators. was the
clicking of the ivory cubes. Presently the
first throw WAS made.
"Fiye-five-six, are sixteen" announc
ed the planter, setting down the figures.
The dice were gathered up and thrown

The boy was pale as death as he took

leaned against IA stanchion for support.

The Portsmouth Journal says that ''a
carefully prepared table of Government
expenditures shows that. aside from those
growing out of the war, they amounted to
about 81 per head of the population of
the country during the last year of Mr.
Buchanan's administration, while under
the administration of Gen. Grant they
amount to only about $l,64. This fact
will not probably prevent our democratic
friends from continuing to harp on repub-
lican extravaganza and all that sort of
thing, but it will show with what little
grace such charges are made by them and
with what truth they are uttered

come in at short intervals. the unwounded

MINORITY REPRESENTATIONS.

The Illinois Constitutional Convention has,
under the leadership of Mr.. Joseph Medill,
after long dcliDeratiOn, adopted a modified
form of the plan for minority representation
which we printed some time ago, and the
question will be submitted to the people of
Illinois for approval. If the vote of the Con-
ventiOn can be taken as an index Of the pOpu-
lar mind in that State, the proposed plan will
receive a very decisive Endorsement. The
Convention stood four TO one i'll favor of it.
The original plan brought before that body
was thought by many little too complex for
popular comprehension, and indeed the pro-
visions made for the representation of trac-
tional ratios by "flOaters" did require some
mental effort 10 comprehend but the scheme
now adopted has the merit of perfect sim
plicity and goes before the people in en-
tilely ineligible shape. The experiment is
restricted to the election of the House of Repre-
sentatives the Senate being chosen as before.
From each Senatorial district three representa-
tives will be elected, and each qualified voter
NAV distribute his three votes as he plcascs
among the candidates; one vote for each of
tlsee men. or three votes for one man, or one
and q Lalf votes for each of two. This system
will secure approximate fairness of representa-
ton for all parties. In Northern Illinois the
Republicans, under the present system, secure
almost the entire representation, while the De-
mocracy have the same prepOnderance in
Southern Illinois, OF Egypt. The minorites
will have, under the new system, "A fair repre-
sentatOn as in each district where they are
in a minority OF not less than one TO three
thew can, by concentration, elect one candidate.
Thus representation will be eQualized through

out the State. The majority will still rule, but
the minorties in different sections will not, rs
now, DO without voice in legislation. In adj
dition TO the better adjustment of representa-
ton this plan will result in fairer division
of representation among parties, taking the
state as whole, and such anomalies are not
likely TO occur as recently happened in Con-
necticut, where the total vote of the State has
gone Democratic, while the Legislature re-
mains Republican In the consideration Oh
minority representation, it is pretty evident
that the minority in u State Will favor It's
adoption from self-ntcrest, If for no other
reason, while the faircr-mndcd OF the ma
iority will do the same from regard for justice.
1t is highly probable then, that The State oil
Illinois will adopt by popular vote what has
already passed the Convention, and that other
States in which the system may be proposed
will readily follow her example.

SLEEVE-BUTTONS And INSANITY.


The self-avenging process is rapidly gather
ing prccedents to be hereafter pleaded in Grim
inal courts and in 0yers of homicide. Toledo
lately witnessed case of wife-killng by an
infatuated husband. Andrew j. Bauder OF Clevc-
land about year since, married wife ont or
brothel, to which place of resort he must
have gone to make her acquaintance. On the
14th of March, in company with another pros
| titute, she ran away from his bed ana Doard
he pursued and found her in Baltimore he
captured her, and when, upon their way to
! Cleveland, they arrived at Pittsburgh, she eX-
pressed a wish TO live there. The husband
assented, left his wife at a hotel, went himself
to Cleveland to settle up his business. lmme-
diately the wife, with her old acquaintance, de-
parted for fresh fields andpastures new, bringing
I'D in a bagnO in Toledo. Ilurrying to that city
upon this information, Bauder found ms wife
again. and during an interview he observed that
she wore the eeve-buttOns of her paIamour.
He had previously bought a pistol, which he
happened to have at hand, and, not being able
to bear the sight Of the obnoxious sleeve
buttons without q paroxysm of INSANITY he
went mad pro tempOre, and shot the unhappy
woman dead.
The murderer being locked up, AYERS that
at the sight of the slecve-buttOns she did not
"know what he was doing until too late"
There il one ugly point, however which must
materially modify the conclusions Of jurors
who may be called to pass upon this sudden
lunacy. The man was not crazy until he saw
the sleeve buttons of the blaster of his domes-
tic happiness. But some hours before the but
tons overturned his intellect, deprived him of
self-control, and rendered him irresponsible, he
bought the pistol. lie now says that he bought
it to defend himself against the paramour who
had threatened his life. Unfortunately for
himself, his own assertions are of very little
consequence; and the murder of the wife is
not less murder because the murderer thought
his life in danger from a third party. If men
go to brothels for wives, and then find that
these wives are not as chastc as the icclcs on
dams temple, we submit that any subsequent
dishonor, as they may please to term their
ridiculous position, gives them no right to
shoot anybody, no matter how crazy they may
become after doing the bloody deed. This is
putting an extreme case of course, when the
dshOn0r exists only in the imagination of a
husband who has himself been utterly false to
his marital obligations, the argument against
extempOre insanity is stronger than ever.

CONSTITUTIONAL CHRISTIANITY.

The citizens of Randolph County, ILL.,, to the
numb II of 900, petitioned the Constitutional
Convention " in favor of the recognition of
" Almighty God and the Christian religion in
"the Constitution of the State;n but the gem
tleman who presented the petition declared
that he did not agree with the petitioners.
Now, man may well have the highest rcver-
ence for the Deity, ard the most abiding faith
in the distinctive doctrines of Christianity, and
yet he may think il neither proper nor TO be
desired that, upon "A purely political document,
there should be ingraitcd declaration of rel-
gors belief. There would be no little indig-
nation, and it would be just, if any Legislature
should declare the existence of Il God and the
truth of Christianity by statute; indeed, there
are those who would feel that there would be
in such legislation a SAVIOR of profanity and
yet we are unable To see that there would be
any difference between such "A statute and a
declaration of faith in the fundamental secular
law Of the State There are, we know, State
Constitutions containing such declarations but
in almost every case the fact is unknown to
the people, and does not exercise the smallest
Influence over their belief or their disbelief.
The truth is, that such political ailirmations
of religious faith are not creditabe to Christi
anity, since they imply that it is weak enough
to need documentary assistance of this kind:
whereas, every church, every prayer, eycry
gathering together on the Lords Day, is bet
ter affirmation of Christian truth than any
formal assertion put like purple Patch into
State Constitution. Unquestionably, Christi
anty is, and in some form will remain, the
religion of the land, as it il destined to be the
religion of the world. Its influence will be

Tammany's adroitness in fraud is signaly
Illustrated in the new Election law. The
choosing of Inspectors of Elections by popular
ballot might have been powerful agency for
the prevention of frauds, but the manner of
choice cunningly provided makes it merely a
cover for unlimited nscality. Instead of
authorizing the election of the Inspectors by
districts, which would give the Republicans q
majority of those officers in ut least a fourth
of the districts and largely Increase the chances
of obtaining proper men, the statute provides
in all cases that they shall be elected on a
general ticket in each Ward. Tammany thus
relegates the choice of these important officials
to Ward cliques, and, making sure of a ma
jority OF its INSCRIPTIONS parlisans as Inspec-
tors, paves the way for any desired frauds in
future elections. IL is incumbent upon Repub-
licans to vote for bold, true, men and, by sccur-
ing one Inspector in each district as permitted
by law, make the way of the transgressors a
little harder than it will otherwise be- Tam
manys tactics can only he beaten by voting
for known, earnest Republicans. Let this duty
W thoroughly performed.

In an elaborate, though not wholly logical
document, Gov. Hoffman has refused to sign
the Arcade Railroad bill, and that scheme for
swift city communication ends, as a great many
others have ended, in unfulflled. promises and
unfinished plans. Meantime, the necessity for
quick, easy, and cheap transportation has an
nually become greater, until it is already i'm
perative. What progress has the Underground
scheme made, and how far are we to trust the
fattering prospects which the Directors of that
road have heretofore held outs OF the feast
bility of an underground road there is no
doubt. Authority the Company already has ;
