week was All, being decrease of SO
from those of the previous week, aud 204
more than those of the corresponding
period last year. There were but four
deaths FROM small pox, and l22 from
cholera infantum. The returns for the
week exhibit gratifying decrease in the
number OF deaths as compared with the
mortality of a few weeks ago. The larg
est mortality in any single week in the
history of the city previous to the present
season was 739 deaths in the weeks end
ing July 2l, 1866. During the weeks
ending July 6, of the present year, the

n WE observe that our friends of tn

Bg We observe that our friends of the
Wayne county Herald, while, in the main,
admitting the correctness of our History Of
congressional nominations in this district,
take exceptions to one or two points there
in. The Herald says that the late Hon.
James X. Dickson, Grin Lester and Thomas
Z. Grier, were the Conferees of Wayne,
instead of John Hoolahan, Thomas E. Grier
and A. B. Gammel, Esqrs., at the Conference
at which, Wayne's rights, in the person of
III. B. Beardslee, were so ruthlessly slaugh-
tered; by the action of Monroe county. A
friend at our elbow, who knows all the gentle
men named, and who was present during
the whole of the proceedings, says that our
assertion in this particular was correct
Judge Dickson, and he thinks Mr. Lester,
certainly the former, with Jackson Wood
ward, Esq, were present from Wayne coun-
ty, Messrs Hoolahan, Girer and Gammel
were the Conferees, and voted for Mr..
Beardslee from first to last. Our friend, al
luded to above, knowing the shystcring that
had been agreed upon hereabouts, suggested
to Mr. b., the substitution of Messrs Dick
son and Woodward, for two of the other, as
they were men of experience, and able to
sustain themselves. This, however, was not
deemed advisable, and Mr.. Dickson and Mr..
Woodward, were compelled to set by and
smoothe the Indignation they felt and which
they did not hesitate to express after the
cheat was contaminated. As to what was
done in Wayne prior to the meeting of the
Convention of that county we know nothing
personally but this we do know that our re-
port of what Mr.. Crane and Dimmick said
on the occasion, was in substance, if not in
precise language, what they really did say.

We are glad that one State has done
something to prevent people from being
killed for fun. Michigan has passed "A
law making it misdemeanor, pun
ishable by fine aud imprisonment, to
aim a frearm at any person, whether
it be loaded or not, and if harm
comes Of such an act, the perpetrator is

One of the facts that appeal more
strongly than words to men Of judgment
is the constant appreciation of our State
credit under the financial management of
General Hartranft When he was first
elected, nearly seven years ago, our State
bonds were below par, selling at SSl -
Nobody cared to buy them as an invest
ment. Since that time they have steadily
risen in price until now the price in from
l02 to lOi. and none can be found in the
market. The State itself is unable to get
them in for reiemptinn This shows
that in spite of the ory OF corruption that
the Democrats and their allies have so
loudly raised, ihe people generally have
entire faith in the correct aud faithful
management OF the State finances. They
are SO well satisfied that they will not
surrender the bonds the State calls in for
ymcnt, but prefer them to other securi
ties. Now if such is the case with Hart
ranft as Auditor General, will it be any
worse when he is elected Governor p

me Important OutleS tnaC VIII rest
upon the Constitutional Convention soon
to be held in Pennsylvania are beginning
to receive thoughtful attention among our
intelligent people. 1t is perceived that
the construction of new Constitution is
in fact peaceful revolution-the oblitera
tion and the building up again of the
foundation Of our laws. The Convention
is absolutely independent of all legislation.
and it and its work are responsible only
to the people from whom its original
power is derived The magnitude of the
duties to be discharged By it may there
fore be readily understood by those who
give attention to the grave matters OF
politics, and its proper action becomes to
them subject of immediate interest and
thought.
One of the weakest points in our
present Constitution is the facility with
which pardons for convicted offenders
may be obtained from the Executive
The whole responsibility is placed in the
hands of the Governor, and the deliberate
action of courts aud juries is subject to
revision and reversal by his individual
will. How unwisely this power has been
exercised of late years every one knows,
for the examples are notorious enough.
This is danger to which we must always
be exposed while the pardoning power is
entrusted to single person. And yet it
would be equally unwise to abolish the
pardoning power, for then the unjustly
convicted would be without hope of re
dress or release. The system of referring
all such applications to the decision of a
board of officers of high responsibility
which has been adopted in some Of the
States, is found to work we'll, aud may be
worthy of imitation here. Almost any.
thing would be better than the present
practice, but we should choose the most
perfect that has been devised.
We instance the abuse of the pordoning
power as it exists under the present Con.
stitution only because it has been so
strongly brought to public notice by
recent examples. AS we have said before,
we need not hope to see any important
restrictions to corporate powers and privi
leges in the instrument. The Convention
will be filled with officers and attorneys
of railroad companies, who will take good
care that such interests do not suffer.
But we may stand this if the Legislature
is deprived of its power for special aud
wilful action. If the bounds of Legislative
authority are clearly marked, with posi-
tive prohibition against overstepping them
we can afford pretty large latitude to
our great corporations. They enjoy it
already in special forms. and if the limit
is set down firmly the harm cannot be
greater.
We hope that the intelligent sentiment
of the people of Pennsylvania will be
fully expressed, before and during the
meeting of the Convention, in relation to
its proper action. The Press will of
course be heard, but behind the nswspa.
pers are the citizens themselves. Let
popular opinion be brought to bear from
every possible direction upon those who
are to make for US new political founda
tions.-BuchS County hteHigeacer.

Da5 Our neighbor of the Monroe Democrat
grew quite facetious in his paper, of yesterday,
over an article copied from the Easton Argus
in which it is stated that the printer of the Re
publican paper here is one of the only three
outspoken Grant men existing In this borough.
There is a world of fun in our neighbors lnim-
liable play upon the names of Wolf, Schoch
and Miriam, which is truly refreshing, and will
raise many hearty laugh at the expense of the
trio named, even though the gist of the story is
mere myth, conjured in the brain Of the
wise one who wields the pen which our friend
Amandus, apocryphally holds so nervously.
Tastes differ somewhat in such matters, but,
really, if Amandus Orevous's experiences, in
the rod line, were ours, we should say as little
as possible about rods. Did we feel inclined
to catechise him. we might learn something of
the modus opeyandi, Of the peculiar sensation
arising thcrefrom, and of the precise effect in
producing results intended. Our neighbor
knows all about it, "you bet' There are many
cases in point, but we will content ourself with
a reference to only three of them.
1st-He experienced the effect of a rod, and
a heavy one, too, some four years ago, when
the threat of withdrawal from his bond, and
immediate process for the collection thereof,
was threatened, if he did not withdraw the
names of Samuel S. Dreher and Stephen
Holmes from the list of speakers advertised to
expatiate at Democratic meetings. Abject
compliance with the demand, would have
been the result, had not friend whom he has
since betrayed, come to the rescue.
I'd. Again, he experienced the effect of a
rod which must have threatened terrible con-
sequences indeed, to have induced him to be.
tray his trust as an editor, and his honor as a
man, by giving both the name Of the author,
and the original manuscript of an article,
which appeared in the Democrat, and which
proved to be obnoxious to lis Miriam of the
occasion. Ponderous, indeed, must have
been the blows which produced so despicable
a result.
3d. He experienced the effect of the rod, Al
once powerful, torturing, and sufficiently con
vincing to compel him to take another article
intended to be copied from the Easton Arg,p
that relating to, and favoring the propriety
of sending Mr.. John B. Storm second tim,
time to Congress-out of the very hands of hi;
| type-setter, and consign it TO the waste basket
His Miriam did not want it to appear. 4
| threat to start an opposition paper was the
| club used, and one whack weakened his
back bone that he caved, not knowing that h,
held in his hand club far more potent thai
| threats.
We might multiply the instances of oul
neighbor's sufIerings from the infiction of th'
rod od i.fnitum, but to do so would be but tc
rub salt i'll sores already sufficiently painful
and add poignancy to the already existing
grief ola dilapidated manhood. We, there
fire, end here; but we cannot help thinking
that our neighbor is certainly not the man who
should delight to indulge in illusions to RODS
