A reasonable difference to antiquity is
very well, and respect for our fathers is to
be commended. But it is carrying this
sentiment quite too far when we submit to
outrageous abuses and entail them upon
our children, because they, lacking our ex-
perience, admitted bad features into the
Constitution. Jefferson and other great
minds of his time foresaw the need of fire.

Improvements. "God forbid, (he says,)
that we should ever be twenty-five years
without a revolution. If the people re-
main quiet under abuses, it is lethargy, the
forerunner of death 10 public liberty"
1t is time for a Convention, to recast the
Constitution and adapt it to our new condi-
tons. But meantime there are measures
which are so clearly required by the spirit
of our institutions that they should be
adopted without delay or opposition. Let
us hear from the Press and the people on
this question! A vigorous expression
will probably secure its adoption this very
winter. A system which makes a mans
representative value in the United States
Senate from Nevada, n hundred times
greater than from the State of New York,
and thirty times greater than in Virginia, is
too absurd to admit of defence among hon
est men. Away with it, and all its kim
bred abuses, from our Constitution

PROF. TYNDALE is in Philadelphia with
his relative, General Hector Tyndale. He
gave his first lecture Monday evening to a
splendid audience at Horticultural Hall.
The American branch Of the family is
every way worthy Of its distinguished for
eign representative. General Tyndale is a
man Of whom any community may we'll be
proud. His career as a soldier was bril-
liant and II cessful, and he brings to civil
life the noblest qualities. Though defeated
as the Republican candidate for Mayor
last year, be stands among the foremost
citizens Of America and is worthy Of its
highest honors.
Prof. Tyndale will remain some time in
this country, and we trust that an effort
will be made to secure o lecture from him
in this city.

THE PRUSSIAN CRISIS.

The New York Criminal Zeitung con-
tains an able article on what it calls the
"Prussian Crisis" from which it would
appear that the spirit Of reform has for
once broken out in the right place, that is,
in the Prussian government itself. sit
says that nothing could be more suggestive
of the marvellous changes that are taking
place in Prussia, the stronghold of German
feudalism, than the appeal Of the Grown to
the people against the unprogressive spirit
of the Junkerdom. 1t shows that the ten
dency of the times is irresistib,y towards
constitutional, if not toward republican
freedom" Who could have expected, ten
years ago, 10 see Bismarck, the pet Of the
reactionaries and d%octrinaires, in the char
acter of a popular champion? The bill
which has caused the crisis is a formidable
blow, perhaps the most formidable that
could be leveled at the power Of the landed
gentry, whose local influence was almost as
great as the influence of the lord of the
manor is, in the southern districts of Eng
land.
Few statesmen have possessed so happy
a tact in doing always the right thing at
the right moment. The new nationality
needs to be placed upon the sure basis of
independence and freedom. The people
must be made to love their land, and have
no excuse to leave it in search of more at
t~ractive homes. The emigration epidemic,
which now carries off the flower of Ger
man manhood, must be stopped, Bismarck
thinks, at any cost, and what remedy could
be more effective than liberal antidotes?
Hence he follows up his armed consolida-
ton of the nation by every conceivable re-
form. Iron and blood have had their
day, and in place of it they are to have
improvements in the land tenure, labor
conferences, industrial and other measures
conducive to popular prosperity and con-
tent.

PRACTICAL MS.

The following reforms are suggested,
and as the dominant party now have so
large a majority, we trust, says the New
York Express, they will be accepted.
The first named has long been approved
by both parties. The second certainly
has quite as many reasons for it as against
it:
First-A direct vote for President and Vice
President by the people instead of through the
Electoral College.
Second" Representation by population - In
the Senate as well as in the House of Represent
atiyes.
When the Government was formed, and
the small States feared the over-shadowing
power Of the large States, there were rea-
sons for the equality in the Senate which
do not dow exist. Under a Democratic or
Republican government four or five millions
certainly ought to count more than one or
two hundred thousand.-NorfoM Journal.
We are glad to see the Press turning
from mere gas and sentiment to practical
reforms. We have been advocating these
measures and other radical changes in the
government for many years. Last fall we
secured the endorsement of this very prin-
ciple in the Republican State Convention
of Virginia. If the New York Express
and Norfolk Journal will read our State
platform they will find the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That we are in favor of an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States
providing for the election of President, Vice.
President. and Senators, directly by the people,
and, so far as possible, for such direct election Of
all other public officers.
The mode Of e~lecting President and Sem
ators is ti-Republican ,~lagrantly unequal,
and an insult to the American people. 1t
says practically, that the people cannot be
trusted to select their own rulers. 1t is a
remnant of the old monarchial system
which we have thrown off, but whose dirt
still sticks to us. We will join hands with
true men Of all parties to reform the gov
ernment, and bring its constitution up to
the advanced knowledge of our time.

Such are the symptoms of the young Disease;
But in Times process when his pains increase,
He rolls his mourful eyes, he deeply groans,
With patient sobbings, and with manly means,
He heaves for breath which, from his lungs sup

And fetch'd from far, distends his lab'ring side,
To his rough palate his dry tongue succeeds,
And roapy gore he from his nostrils bleeds.
