The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1871-02-24

After all the parades on the subject
by the sensation papers, it appears that
the Tennessee arrived safely at San
Domingo without accident or unusual
delay. The fuss about her was pure
invention, gotten up expressly to make
demand for sensation papers. The
officials at Washington all the time
maintained that there was not the least
cause for alarm. BEN. WADE, the head
Of the commission, is notorious for
cowardice, and he may have given rise
to the rumors by surmising danger be-
fore leaving. We have accounts ol
some other members of the commission
doing this, making wills, &c, and
herein no doubt is the foundation for
all the alarm that has existed.
The newspaper correspondents with
the commission already fill the city
dailies with accounts of what they
have seen and learned. They are very
industrious, energetic and imaginative
gentlemen, yet we suspect large par
of their Information was acquired be
fore they left home. The intelligent
reader will of course make allowance
for all that II he have the patience Il
pour over their dissertations.

RELIEF FROM TAXATIoN.-A gross
abuse is being carried on by the Legis.
lature in releasing incorporated Gene
teries and Churches from taxation. The
former are generally money making at.
fairs, and therefore ought to bear their
share of taxation. Those of the latter
that apply for relief from taxation, are
not the humble churches of poor congre-
cations, but wealthy establishments
which estimate their value by thous-
ands and millions. The release of these
of course transfers the taxes from them
to other objects of taxation. In refer
ing to this subject the Philadelphia Age
says: "Property to the amount of fifty
million dollars has been withdrawn
from taxation in this city by the Legis.
lature, and yet the work goes on. In.
stead of taxing personal property, the
above leak should be stopped. There
is no more reason why land used for
cemetery purposes should be exempt
from taxation, than land sold and held
for building uses"
A Constitutional amendment taking
all power from the Legislature to ex
empt property from the operation oI
laws imposing taxes, is greatly needed
If the exemption was applied to poor
Churches and Cemeteries a!one,it might
be well enough, but 1t is not these tina,
make the application or receive the
benefit. 1t is the wealthy ones, and the
larger their real valuation the more We
hement they become in demanding re
lease.

Constitutional Amendment.

We learn from Harrisburg that two
important powers in the State have ia.
ken determined stand against calling
a Convention to propose Constitutional
amendments. One of these is the Rail.
road interest, which fears that its gen.
eral powers and immunities may be
curbed, and the State Treasury removed
from its grasp. The other is the gang
of vultures who annually gorge upon
Legislative corruption. These interests
are working with energy, not so much
in direct opposition, which would be
futile, but in creating discord and by
getting up impracticable bills. Since
Mr.. BUCKALEw has presented his bill
the issue will be square one, and as il
is so manifestly fair and just in all Its
parts, those who oppose it may be safe,
ly put down as hostile to any Constitu-
tional reform. We shall soon sec
whether the buzzards will be victori
GUS or whether the popular judgment
will prevail.

The noted couuterfeiter, JOHN MEN.


THE noted counterfeiter, JOHN MEN.
GIs, was arrested year or two ago and
placed in Jail. Some time after, per-
son calling himself DANIEL MENGIs
appeared and offered to bail JOHN for
his appearance at Court. He represent
ed himself TO be Northumberland
county farmer, owning unencumbered
real estate to the value of $4,000 or
more. The authorities having satisfied
themselves that DANIEL MENGIs was
worth the amount accepted him as bail.
The time OF trial came on but JOHN
MENGIs was not about. The bail bond
was then sued, when 1t was discovered
that DANIEL MENGIs had not signed
it, and in fact knew nothing about the
transaction. Afterwards it was ascer.
tanned that PRICE INGRAM, of Harris.

DANIEL MENGIs, and was the person

On Friday of last week Mr. BUCKA-
LEW from the Senate Committee on
Constitutional Reform reported bill to
the Senate which provides for Con.
vention to amend the Constitution of
the State. 1t is in marked contrast to
the bills which have been proposed In
both Houses by Radical members, and
If enacted into q law will secure a fair
convention and a fair decision by the
people upon the amendments which the
Convention shall propose.
In the first place by the arrangement
which is made in the bill for delegates
at large and for district delegates, the
Convention will be constituted, pretty
certainly, of an equal number of mem
bers from each party, while opportunity
Is afforded for the choice of good men.
There are to be SO delegates at large and
each voter of the State is to vote for no
more than l6. This application of the
limited vote latter the example of New
York; will secure 16 to each party. Then
district delegates are to be chosen upon
the plan Of the free vote Except In AL
legheny and Luzerne) so that all the
people shall be fully and justly repre-
sented. In Allegheny and Luzernet ethe
limited vote is applied so as to secure
the same object. The number of dis
trict delegates is to be l0s and the State
is divided into convenient districts for
the purpose of selecting them.
One important feature of the bill is
the provision that one. third of the men,
bers may require the separate submis-
sion to the people for their adoption or
rejection of any amendment proposed
by the Convention. This will afford
the people full opportunity to discrim-
mate between good and bad amend
ments and to accept only those they
shall fully approve.
The compensation of members of the
Convention is fixed at $500, and the
duration of the Convention is not to ex-
ceed 100 days of actual session.
The provision to vote upon the ques.
tion whether Convention shall be cal
led, at the same time the delegates are
elected, is very unnecessary complica'
ton, which will be very likely to lead
to mischief. In fact the proposition
would be better suited to juvenile de-
batting society than to grave legislators.
1t is the amendments that are wanted,
and it is the business Of the Legislature
to have these submitted to a vote of the
people. If they approve they will
adopt them and If they disapprove they
will reject. That is the only decision of
the people that can be effective on the
subject.

are ali ten,iing towards despotism. win the
people longer look ON anu approve ?-Ercidnge.
For few years past the schoolmas,
ters have been talking about laws to
compel people to send their children
regularly to school, but this was looked
upon rather as a means of calling atten-
tion to the Importance of voluntarily
compelling regular attendance. Recent
ly, however, the Radicals of the eastern
states, who dictate the policy of the
Radical party, have embraced this new
form Of tyranny aud will no doubt push
it to adoption, If that party Is contin-
ued in power. The substance is that
the domestic control of children is to
be taken out of the hands of parents
and transferred to the Federal Govern.
ment-to be taken from parents and
handed over to Federal riff.rsff appoint
ees, VINO are to Inspect our children and
order them off to school, to the control Of
any scalawag who may at the time have
charge of the neighborhood school! No
matter that the teacher may be cruel
or otherwise unfit, personal enemy,
one you may despise, fool or a scoun-
drel, or that you may deem your child
for any reason unfit to 60, or want to
retain it at home for cause satisfactory
to yourself, the petty Federal office hOl-
der will say go, and you must submit
to the dictation or suffer the penalty
The Catholic must send his child to the
Protestant teacher, to be instructed In
a version of the scriptures he believes
heretical; or the reverse, and the pro.
testant be compelled to send to the
Catholic teacher to be instructed in hi,
views of the Bible-or both to the Jew
who declares the Savior of men an i'm
poster, or to the Unitarian, who de
nies his divinity-or all these to the
scoffing infidel-or, what would be a!
bad il not worse than either, in oul
Judgment, the slang whanging Yankee
In short, the whole control of the chile
is to be taken from the parent, SO far a
its education Is concerned, and handet
OYER TO Government appointee, owe
whom neither the parent or the com
munity will have any control what
ever!
AS sure as the Radical party remains
in power this scheme will prevail. No
only this, but it will step from on
scheme of tyranny to another until n
personal rights will be left to be re
spected.

The Coal Miners.

The public generally were glad to
learn that the Coal Miners had agreed
to go to work last week. They were to
great extent in Strengthened circum-
stances, and many of them in actual
want. But at this juncture the Rail.
road companies raised the freight so
high that the operators can not send
their coal to market, and consequently
but little mining eau be done. We
agree with the Lancaster MtelHgencer
that "the Legislature should take
prompt action in this matter. A regu-
lar rate Of charges for carrying coal
should be fixed by law, and so fixed
that the law cannot be evaded. The
interests of producers and consumers
alike demand such protection from the
State.o
