still for Mending the Constitution
Mr.. Summers Resolution.


Mr.. Sumner is the great constitution doctor
He is none of your small dose hommopathics
but regular allopath who goes for large and
frequent doses. The constitution has been
well doctored within the last few years. for
better or worse, and we might wait, perhaps
to see something Of the effect. This, however,
is a fast age, and the impulsive Massachusetts,
Senator must be doing something, He pro-
poses to amend the constitution so as to elect
the President by direct vote Of the people and
to abolish the Office of Vice President We
do not see what improvement can be made
by abolishing the Office of Vice President. In
case of the death or removal of the President
some one must take the place, and it would be
better, perhaps, that this should be provided
for, as at present, by the sufrages of the peo-
pie, than that it should depend upon the choice
of Congress. As to electing the President by
direct vote Of the people, there does not appear
to be any reasonable objection to that, except
that mending the constitution SO frequently
may be inconvenient and may have tendency
TO keep the public mind and our institutions
unsettled. It would certainly be more in har-
mony with our popular form Of government.
The Electoral College is somewhat on anomaly.
We have not the form Of the proposed amend
ment, but suppose Mr.. Sumner does not in
tend to change the present system of voting by
States. If he does intend that and to count
the vote Of the whole Of the States solidly he
would make q radical change both in the
theory and practice Of our institutions. 1t
would be an important step toward changing
the government from representative to a
pure democracy. However, there is not much
chance of Mr.. Summers resolution passing
this session and it is only necessary to notice
the movement in its incipiency.

VEsuvIUs AFTER THE ERUPTION another
part OF the HERALD this morning We print
letter from our correspondent in Naples
descriptive Of visit to Mount vosuvius few
days after the eruption which SO lately spread
death and desolation throughout the surround
ing country. The scene, as described by the
correspondent, is desolate in the extreme
The transformation from fields full Of promis-
ing fruitfulness to blackened wastes presents
an aspect as dreary as can well be imagined,
and helps to give some faint idea of the ter
rible nature of the pent-up elements struggling
for an outlet.

Tho Resignation or Marshal Serran0>
A HERALD special telegram from Madrid
informs us Of the fact that Marshal Serrano's
act of amnesty towards the insurrectionary
leaders in the Spanish provinces has had the
effect Of disorganizing the Carlist conspiracy
movement completely, for the reason that the
men of the rebel rank and file have come to dis
trust each other in consequence, and to make
charges Of treachery to the cause against some
who held high position and exercised great in
fuence among them. Marshal Serrano has re-
signed his commission as Commander-in- Chief
Of the troops operating against the Carlists in
the Basque Provinces notwithstanding. This is
the first fruit Of the disgraceful scenes which
have been witnessed in the Spanish Cortes
within the past few days. The conduct Of Ser
rano shows that the Castilian has lost nothing
that he should resign His generous conduct
in pardoning the insurgents who were pleased
to surrender themselves, though condemned
by the radicals, was approved BY the govern
ment. His resignation, whatever may have
been Serrano's own intention in the premises,
must be regarded in the light of an opposition
triumph ond as a cause of fresh embarrass-
ment to the King and his friends. It was un-
derstood that Serrano should return from his
brief campaign III the Northern Provinces,
and, having enjoyed somewhat of Roman
triumph, should assume the duties and respon-
sibilities of First Minister Of the Crown. His
resignation clouds the prospect. What he may
do now is uncertain. It is no longer doubtful.
however, that, politically, Spain is in most
chaotic condition, and that the position of
Amadeus is the reverse Of comfortable. After
all the pluck which he has shown it may yet
be necessary for him to gather up his traps
and, with his amiable young wife, return to
the comforts of his Italian home
The POLICE AND CLEAN STREETs.-An inn
portant meeting Of the Board of Police Com
missioners was held yesterday, when it was re-
solved to appoint Superintendent Of Street
Cleaning and Deputy Superintendent to as
sist him in the discharge of the duties of that
Office. The Commissioners have taken hold of
the matter with vigor, for, not only have the
two superintendent been already appointed,
but committee to make rules and regulations
for the cleaning of the streets has also been
appointed. So much complaint has been in-
dulged in of late, and justly So too,
by the citizens that we welcome any plan
which will give us clean streets. According to
the old system there was little or nothing done
in this regard, and on every side we had evil
dences Of the justly-made complaints of the
citizens. The new arrangement places the
whole matter under the supervision of the
police authorities, and we may therefore ex-
pect thorough reform in this regard At any
rate, the plan is worthy Of fair, impartial
trial. and the people will now hold the police
to strict responsibility for thorough dis
charge of the duties they have assumed

The ENGLISH RACE FOR THE OAKS STAKES
The race for the Oaks Stakes, which came off
on Epson Downs yesterday, is specially
reported by cable despatch from London
in the HERALD this morning The attend
ance was unusually thronged and of the
most brilliant magnifcence in the matters
of the general turnout and the toilets and
beauty Of the ladies who witnessed the sport
Seventeen horses ran. The contest was very
exciting. Count de Lagrange's horse Refine
won the prize. The appearance Of an English
flly, called Louise Victoria, produced very
pleasurable feeling of excitement on account
OF the name Of the animal. The time was
excellent, the weather favorable and the day
observed with good humor to the termination

THE STATE CONVENTIONS AND THE PREsIDEN-
frM NOMINATIONS Republican and
Democratic State Conventions have been held in
this State. The former renominated Grant; the
latter was non committal on the Presidential
nominee. 1t took the platform. but held in
allegiance, the candidate of Cincinnati. The
its adjourned meeting yesterday, failed to
recommend q Presidential candidate. 1t is
evident, SO far as we are advised, that the
Democratic State Conventions will not endorse
the Presidential nomination made at Cincin-
natl Everything in that direction for success
depends upon the action or the endorsement Of
the Democratic National Convention, to be
held in Baltimore on the 9th Of July next.

stimulating the exchange Of products, and tho
result must be beneficial to New York, as tho
centre OF the commercial activity of the coun-
try. We may, therefore, look forward to an
unusually busy season, when employment will
be plenty and food cheap. These are the con-
ditions which bring happiness to the toiling
masses and lasting prosperity to the
nation. Nor are the blessings confined
to our own country The crowded popu-
lations of the Old World are as deeply inter
ested in the plenty of our harvests as are our
own citizens. For it is to the rolling prairies
of the West that the cotton spinners of Man
chester, and the workers in all the great Eu-
ropean cities must look for bread. America
has long been draw farm for Europe and
there are not wanting soft-hearted philanthro-
pists who think that to continue so is our high
est mission. So long indeed as our imports
exceed our exports by hundreds of millions
yearly we can scarcely escape from our present
position, however undesirable it may be; but
by the constant development Of our home re-
sources we may hope at no distant day to place
our commercial relations on sounder footing,
and the best help out of our difficulties will be
found in the fruitfulness and productiveness of
the SOIL Notwithstanding the drawbacks, the
country may rejoice in the prospects of an
abundant harvest and renewed commercial
activity

LUDIcRoUs.- On Saturday night at the
race, while Dunn was running up and
down the track snorting and swearing
vengeance, and swinging his six-shooter
in the crowd, there was a general rush
for safety out of the reach of shot and
shell from this beligerant assassin. A
pondrous gentleman who did not care to
be martyr in such q cause. made for
the gate and found it shut Not having
presence Of mind to open it, and seeing
n small hole in the fence, he made for it
and succeeded in getting his head through
but could get no further. In this posi-
ton the gentleman presented magnifi-
cent aspect and target of full regula-
ton size, bull's-eye and all. For further
particulars We refer to our Postmaster,
who had this particular case under OBJ
servation at the time and can tell more
than We dare.

LAST OF THE RACES.

The races Of October "a were of littl,
interest, and attracted but small at
tendance, it having got out someway thai
Gallinipper would not run. The judges
| took the stand and announced the un.
finished race postponed until 2 p. N. OF
%. The race for citizens purse of $75,
single dash of q mile, for all beaten horses
was contested for by Kent and Bundle
and Go, and won by the former in l 40
Duffy trotted Soap Fat to q buggy
around the track in 5:54 winning the
purse.
October %, at o'clock P. N. the
horses for the unfinished race were called
up and Gallinipper failed to put in an
appearance, and Bots Arc and Twenty
Cents finished the race which was won
by Twenty Cents in three straight heats,
time sly, 500, 1889 The judges
decided that all pools follow the race, ex-
cept those sold on Gallinipper after the
fourth heat.
Retrospective.
We have o few words to say under this
head. The races have been continued
too long to be interesting at this season
Of the year, and probably too long for
town Of this size. but We believe the
jockey club, under whose management
these races have been conducted, has
done all in its power to make them inter-
esting; striven hard and continually to
give all an equal show, and desired the
judges to act strictly in accordance with
the rules adopted for their guidance

GONE FROM Our GAZE large num-
Der of the strangers who came to see the
races have gone to their homes and Car
son begins to assume its old look of
steady, regular business. Yesterday the
owners took Gallinipper home before the
race in which he was entered was COM
pleted. Last night the pools were paid
off and to-day the rest of our visitors will
probably go home, and we shall have
more time to attend to the contest of the
9Th of November, and the eminent speak
ers who will visit us during the week.

HOTEL ARRIVALS.
THF TUNNEL.

The track around the blockade at the
American Flat tunnel was completed at
noon to-day. says the Virginia Chronicle
of last evening. and the passenger engine
Reno will be taken around on the new
track this afternoon Tom Clarke engin-
Ger OF the locomotive Nevada, and Hank
Smith, Superintendent of the Belcher
mine, went in 400 feet from the north
end of the tunnel yesterday. Twenty
fonr sets of timbers have been put in the
north end. In the center or solid por-
ton ct the hill, Clarke and Smith found
about two feet of debris ON the track,
but no general cave for distance of about
40 feet The south end of the tunnel is
N worse condition than the north, having
caved SO badly that an opening wns made
TO the surface something like 100 feet
from the old mouth of the tunnel. From
this opening smoke is still issuing. The
side track connects with the main trunk
at both ends, without the use of turn-ta-
bles, which was at first supposed neces-
Sary to make the connection. Twenty
Central Pacific box cars (for the deten-
ton of which the v. / T. Co. is now
paying three dollars per day. have been
dropped down to the Baltic side track
and will be taken around the tunnel this
evening. 1t is now believed the tunnel
will be open for regular trains on or about
the 25th Of next month.

KILLED AT MONTE.
A Character wen known i'm Memphis
Extiuguished in Kansas city.

A letter was received in Memphis yes
terday containing an account of the viO-
lent death of one Nolan, in Kansas city.
this week. Nolan had kept bar here for
Dunbar q Molen, until about two weeks
ago, when he left TO go to Kansas,
where he had some friends. All those
people who frequent Dunbar d Molen's
saloon, at the corner of Madison and
Second streets, remember him as being
a very quiet person, obliging and atfa-
BILE. Having arrived in Kansas City, a
sort of rough, or as they are called in
San Francisco, a "Hoodlumn attempt
ed to impose upon him. This rough, Pot
tee by name, called Nolan into "A private
room to have some explanation in rela-
ton to mOnte-dealing, at which POttee
is a professional. In a few seconds scuf-
fling and the sound of firearms were
heard, a crowd gathered about the place
Just in time TO rescue Nolan from the
murderOus hands Of the "Hoodlum."
The shot that had been intended for his
brain had been diverted into the ceiling
by the prompt and deXterous movement
Of his hand. In half an hour afterward,
when Nolan was armed, be went to the
monte-roOm, but was pushed out the
door by a partner of POttee; he then
jumped in the window, and renewed the
fight. Several shots were fired on both
sides. and POttee was rapidly on the run
down stairs, Nolan after him, when the
former turned suddenly round and lodged
a bullet in Nolan's abdomen, which laid
him out in half an hour. Nolan was a
native of New York, about thirty-five
years of age, hight complexion and san
dy hair; a well-traveled man, whose
manners were modified by experience
and reading. so that he was a most con-
versatile companion, and an exceeding
" intelligent man.
