TFrom The Meadyiue RepublIcan

From the Meadville Republican,
Many of our citizens will remem-
Der a young man of rather PROPOSES
sing appearance, who figured some
what in society in this city about
eighteen months ago. His name was
b. d. Roscoe, son of q wealthy En-
glishman who resides in one Of the
fashionable suburbs of London, and
holds a position as a railroad official,
being also extensively engaged in the
grain trade. This son having become
Somewhat dissipated, his parents con-
cluded q trip to America would prob
ably have an influence for good, by
separating him for a time from his
dissipated associates. Young Roscoe
being supplied with a complete outfit
of fashionable clothing set sail, of
course (how else could he GOMEZ, and
landed, as all well posted travellers do,
at the center of western civilization,
Meadville. He stopped for a short
time at the McHenry, and for a long
time at the Rupp House, where he
contracted a board bill OF about $3.50,
during which time he was constantly
expecting remittances from home, but
which never came. This kind OF
boarders are not anxiously sought for
by hotel men generally, and Mr..
Needham the proprietor, proved DO
exception, though he waited long and
patiently for the remittances which
were promised, but failed to come to
hand. Hope long deferred maketh the
heart sick" 1t proved so in this case,
and after many days he was finally
compelled to seek other lodgings. At
the solicitation of some young gentle
men of this city, a situation was pro-
cured for him in one of the railroad
offices at Cleveland. During all this
time his parents had been sending
regular Temittances, but the son fail
ing to receive them, was respondent,
believing that his father had cast him
off, and intended leaving him to his
own resources. He did not hold his
situation very long in Cleveland until
his whereabouts was discovered by
Mr. David Jones, Chief Engineer of
the Penna. Petroleum Railroad, who
had been written to by the parents of
the young man, requesting him to
spare no expense or trouble in ascer.
tanning the whereabouts of their son,
and relieving his wants, If in need.
MI gOuCcF WIZ ACSAACA ~
Ohio. at the time, took the young
man in charge and gave him q situa.
ton in his Office at Ravenna. Young
Roscoe, after working there for some
time, took TO his cups and left his EN-
ployer, and was next found, by a
Meadville gentlemen, employed on
the Mahoning Division with a pick
and shovel on track repairs he was
assisted pecuniarily by the gentlemen
aforesaid, and left the railroad bust
nees. He soon had to seek work,
however, and succeeded IN obtaining
it, a few weeks ago, in q saw mill
near Cleveland. Some friends who
knew his location were about arrang'
ing for Mr.. Roscoe's promotion when
the sad news was sent them this week
that Mr.. R. had fallen on the saw
and was instantly killed, while at
work in the mill.
Friends of the deceased are now tax
ing the necessary measures to place
the parents in possession Of the facts
of the case, and the sad news OF his
death among strangers in q strange
land,

Constitution Making.

A contributor, whose d~ellvefance
we published Wednesday, says our
Constitution has stood through a
period of severe trial, without violent
opposition or noticeable outbreak, and
he thinks that somehow it is approx
ed by the increase of population and
wealth and by the high character of
our people. 1t is not by violent opposi-
ton that constitutions ale usually VIC
lated ; nor does the absence of out
break prove anything in their favor.
The new Constitution failed in the
very part-the judicial-which was
the only good reason for forming it;
and il has in one way or another
been set aside or distinguished by fail
ure in nearly every feature of special
and distictive change from h old.
Its provision for judiciary was an in
flexible system inadequate TO the
needs of the State. 1t was a failure
from the beginning. Its absurd pro-
hibition of bank charters was nulined
by the national bank creation. Its
provision that corporate powers shall
be granted only by general laws was
absurd, as to municipal corporations.
1t had to be violated by the very first
municipal code and has by nearly v
cry act relating 10 municipal corpora
tons. The necessity to evade it. has
caused q mass of bastard legislation
that disgraces our statute book. Its
provision making stockholders liable
to the amount of double their capital
was conceived in an ignorant spirit of
hostility to those organizations of capt.
tai that are required to carry on mo-
dern skilled industry.
Its attempt to forbid counties and
towns from aiding railroads, failed
utterly. Its prohibition of a specific
form of a thing had the usual fate OF
being interpreted as a grant OF the
thing in other forms. This is the
common luck of superfiuous prohibit
lions and declarations. Its unneces-
sary rules for the reading of bills in
legislature are openly disregarded by
the Legislature. Its injunetions on
the General Assembly, as to taxation,
enforces a crude system which aban-
dons all that politicle science has de-
veloped as to placing the burden of
taxation, and has worked to drive
manufacturing, commercial, and
banking capital from the State. By
a wiser system the city of Philadel-
phia is drawing manufactures from
the States where this Ignorance pre-
walls. The makers of the new Cons
titution though: they We're wise
enough to legislate for the State for
half a century. They were not con.
tent with forming a government to
act. They must act for it. Their
Constitution, in every peculiar feature
they added, is a monument of their
unwisdom. We agree with our COM
municator that progress should be
backward by pruning, and that we
want no constitutional convention to
legislate for US a half century ahead,
but one to organize the framework Of
government, and leave its legislation
and administration to the people,

From Columbus.
COLUMBUS, Feb. 3.
MEETING OF STATE REPUBLICAN COM
MITTEES.

COLUMBUS, Feb. 3.
MEETING Of STATE REPUBLICAN COM
MITTEES.
The Ohio Republican State Gen.
trail Executive Committee will hold a
meeting in this city Feb. 10, for the
transaction of business, and for gener-
al conference. Leading Republicans
from all parts of the State are expect
ed to be present without further no.
tice. 1t Is hoped there will be IA gen.
eral attendance, as important matters
connected with the situation of the
party, and the conduct of the ensu-
ing campaign will doubtless be dis
| cussed.
Perhaps the most important bill
that has been introduced into the
General Assembly this winter passed
the House of Representatives to-day.
IL was introduced by Mr.. How
land, of Ashta5ula. It makes rail-
road companies liable to each laborer
engaged in building the road, and to
each individual who furnishes ma
terial for the same. Heretofore the
companies have been responsible only
to sub-contractors. and the latter TO
individuals. Mr.. Rowland advocated
his measure with great zeal, and 1t
passed by the decisive vote of 81 to 10.
The change proposed is radical, and
will ..be attended with some serious
consequences.
There was a ring broken a few days
%sincesin this city, which had been or
ganized to control the price of the
convict labor of the Penitentiary.
The contracts for labor of a certain
number of prisoner expired the 3lst
ult. Bids for the services of these
men were opened, and IN every case
it was found that each bidder had bid
precisely the anne amount 81 cents
per day, for all able bodied men, and
As cents for infirm prisoners. The
bidders were Thomas Lowe, Baily
& iMaTple, Peter Higdon, Agness
Mithof, Raun & Co., the Ohio Tool
Co., and Millor & Hess. These par
ties are the same prison contractors
whose ~contracthave Just expired. The
bids were put in for a certain ! lumber
of men in each case, the aggregate
corresponding 10 the whole number
OF prisoners for hire. The average
sum received for able bodied laborers
under the expired and existing cor
tracts is a fraction ove ninety cents
per day. The Directors decided to
discard all the bids rather than come
below that sum, and they were accor-
dinghy thrown out. Another meeting
will be held in March, before which
time there will be no letting of prison
labor. Prisoners that were bid for at
this meeting can be employed TO
greater advantage financially than
would have been the case had the
bids been accepted.
The Legislature adjourned on Friday
until Tuesday, 1lth inst.

SALT LAKE, February There
was considerable sensation here this
evening by a dispatch from Chicago
that the President had determined, as
a matter of policy, to remove all the
troops from the Southern States and
station them in reasonable cOntiguity
to Utah. The MormOns affect disbe-
lief Of the report, but are evidently
much disturbed. The Gentiles and
dissenting MormOns all rejoice.
Claggett's speech on Utah is univers.
ally applaudt d by the Gentiles as the
best exposition of the truth :of Moi

Our coal production in 1870 amounted
10 Sc, $500, 600 tons, of which %, AS, 793 tons
were mined in Pennsylvania. OF the
latter aggregate, 15,65O,275 tons were an
thracite and the remainder bituminous
coal. The total value OF the coal product
was $751; 500, of which $50, 2s7,s1 be-
longs to Pennsylvania. 1t is remarka-
BILE that while capital in this State nearly
r~eproduces itself, that of Msryland pro-
dnees only 10 per cent, that is, it takes
an investment OF 500 to produce $40
worth of coal in Maryland. The States
next in order to Pennsylvania are, I'LL
nois, 1921, 1873; Ohio. 2,527, 2s5 tons; Ma
ryland, I.sl9,s24 tons. Though other
States have larger coal fields than Penn
sylvanis, it will require a great effort
and a great change of circumstances to
enable them to eompets with her.
