OF the beer riots at Frankfort, already
noticed by the cable dispatches which have
appeared in these columns, the corrcspon-
dent of the London Iinos writes. under
date of April %
" The beer riots at Frankfort are very So
rinus. The brewers having slightly raised
the price of beer, the mob availcd them
selves of a market day, when thousands of
laborcrs from the neighborhood visited the
town, to attack and demoish the principal
beer-houses, taverns and brewcries. The
police mt first hesitatcd to interfere, but upon
some socialists displaying a red flag, they
thought it high time to assert the majesty
of the law, and made an effort to withstand
the rioters in the more exposed localities.
They were beaten off by the mob, who, en-
couraged by success, received the military,
now summoned to the spot. with a shower
of kbricks. when Il few blank cartridges
fired to warn off the rioters had proved in
eflectual, the officers in command at last
resortcd to more stringent means, and of
course easily succeeded in quclling the riot
The loss Of life is very great There are
thirty-seycn killed and about one II inbred
wounded. With the exception of Il few,
where the rioters we're received with scald-
ing bear and steam before the military ar
rived, all the leading brewerics of the town
were invaded by the mob. No doubt there
has been mismanagcmcnt on the p TT of the
authorities, or the riot could never have as
sumcd such vast proportions. The police,
consisting chiefly Of Franktortcrs, probably
acted with the lenicncy usually displayed by
South Germun authorities on such occa-
sions, while the military, commanded, |
dare say, by North German officers or nt
any rate, bohnd to adhere to the iniunctions
of the Prussian military code, as soon as
they began operations gave the rioters a
taste of the strictcr discipline and stcrncr
habits of the German North. 1t was the
first riot at Frankfort since the late rrmod-
cling of all things in Germany"

we began to lay aside our moral efforts
after such a law had been placed on our
statute books.
The war of the rebellion burst upon us
Thousands of our young men were called
to the field of battle and the life in camp.
Many of them learned to drink because
they were told il was a necessity. In CON
sequence of this, when the war ended they
came home confirmed in their habits. Very
little was said at that time about temper
ance. An increased sale in liquors was de-
manded to supply these men. Their exam
pie led many Others astray. They were
heroes for the time, and all their acts were
looked upon as right, even though they
might make themselves brutes by becoming
drunkards. No corresponding effort was
made to prevent this, and now most of our
young men drink. Ladies ask what they
must do, and we tell them to turn these
men away, even if they have to take care
of themselves by so doing. Reform of any
kind needs effort, time, patience and ex-
pcnsc, and we have a multitude in our
| temperance ranks who should do the work.
Such enthusiaonr as was manifested during
a.e war in the enlistment of soldiers would
soon wipe out the curse of intcmperance
from among us. An enemy morqgtemible
is upon us now, and threatens our country.
The fact is that Yankees do things in too
much of a hurry, although they love W

reform began. There is a wider spread in

manifested. The subject is in good hands,
and we only need patience and persistence
to effect our object.
We have not the space to give but briei
idea of the able lecture. 1t was listened
to with great interest, and combined mucl
information with wholesome and truthful
argument.

The Newest BeecheriSms

In the course of his lecture on IRE
ligious Revivals" before the theological
students Of Yale College, at New
Haven, Wednesday, Rev Mr.. Beecher
astonished his hearers with some
original observations on the necessity
Of humbling ones self before the
Almighty: Il
I beseech you to avoid that kind of
crawling, that prostration that takes
the manhood out of a man. 1 don't
think that God wants to have man
crawl before Him like worm. IdOn't
think he is any mere pleased tosee that
than you would be to see your children
act so. ] have a little dog at the farm
that, when I come home. is so exceed
ing glad that he lies down and squirms
and rolls over on his back, so that
want to kick him. That same dog,
although he is so affectionate, will steal
chickens. Now, dog don't know any
better, buta man does, and it seems to
me as if men think that if they h humble
themselves before God, and say all
manner of scrouching things, that will
fit them for the work. There is no
maniiness in this. No doubt they
have enough to confess, but God wants
men to come to Him as though they
were his sons.

the presence of the Royal Imperial
family. royal and illustrious guests, and
thousands of people from all parts oi

dressing the Emperor, said:
"SIRE: Filled with gladness, salute
your Majesty i'm these halls, devoted 70
progress and to peace. Your participa-
tion has fitly brought to completion a
work which now draws upon Austria
the eyes of the world, and has secured

your Majesty graciously to receive this

tiOn open."

brief remarks, l wish to say that my
object in proposing these resolutions is
to take step in the direction OF
Amending the Constitution in this re-
gard; to test the sense Of the Senate IS
To the power of reviving the amend
ment ,is contemplated in the second
article of the twelve proposed by the
First Congress, to the States for ratiti-
cation.
Two of the proposed amendments
failed at that time to receive the assent
of a sufficient number of States to be-
come part of the Constitution.
The one recited above and i'm these
resolutions received the vote or assent
in short time of five States, and event
ually of eight States, the last being by
Kentucky, whose ratifcatiOns. took
place on June y, 1872, at which time
there We're fifteen States in the Union
there being but twelve at the time the
amendments were proposed. The rat
flying States were Vermont New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina and Kentucky, not suf-
ficient, Us we all well know, to COM
plete the ratification.
AS the fifth article of the Constitu-
ton, from which authority is derived
to make amendments, does not pre-
scribe any time in which the proposed
amendments shall be ratified-saying
only "icRen ratified by the Legislatures
of three-fourths of the Constitution"
it is manifestly the spirit and inten-
ton of this enabling Al ticle to permit
the Legislatures of the several States to
take such time to deliberate and decide
as they might desire.
Congress having made the propoei-
ton, where is the authority by which
it can I've withdrawn? Has it not eX-
hausted its power? Is Lot this propo-
sitiOn now beyond its jurisdiction, and
in the keeping Of the pesple, where it
rests, without decay, until summoned
to life and action by ratification? Can
a failure for any period of time, to rati-
fy, impair or annul its original charac.
ter or legality, however long the de-
lay? Whenever three-fourths of the
States do ratify any proposed amend
ment, does it not become part of the
l therefore conclude
that it is competent for the Legislature
of this State at this time, to ratify this
when proposed, aud that "whsn"
Of the States, including
those which have already done SO, shall
have ratified it, this article will then
be a part OF the Constitution.
But in order to have this subject
more thoroughly investigated, move
to refer these resolutions to the stand
ing committee on Judiciary.

Brooks's Successor.

strongly Democratic, Mr.. Brooks hav-
ing been reelected in 1872 by large
majority of 1850. Last winter when
it was thought that Mr.. Brooks might
be expelled for his Credit Mobilier
transactions, the late defeated Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress-at-L Large,
Sam Cox, who is now without an Of
fee, was talked of as Mr.. Brooks's
probable successor. Mr.. Brooks was
formerly Of ths Eighth District and
Mr.. Cox, of the sixth, but in the re-
districting under the new census both
these leading Democrats fell into the
Sixth. Sam Cox's running on the
State ticket for CongresslnHn-at-Large
left the field olear for MIR. Brooks, who
was reelected. 1t would be natural,
aud We think it probable, that the
"Sunset" Cox will rise again in the
Sixth District as the successor to Mr..

STATE SENA TOR.

Mr.. EDTToR:-If not already, the
question will soon be asked who is to
be our next State Senator. By the
custom of alternately choosing this
officer from the two counties of the
District the choice would fail upon
some Belmont man, but aside from 4
custom which has no foundation, ex-
cept in the schemes of office-seekers,
would it not be policy as well as II COM
plimen: due a worthy man To return
the present incumbent, Mr.. Knox? 1t
is true that he has not made himself
prominent during his term of Office by
a gassy, turbulent course upon the floor
of the Senate like Patrick of Tusca-
but has on the other hand won
the reputation of a hard worker, ,eSpeci-
ally upon that most important of all
the School Bill. Except in the way OF
special legislation there has been re-
markably little done and of this little
Mr.. Knox may well lay claim to II good
share. There are doubtless some Bel
mont men who would like the position
and while the right of our County to
the next Senator after the present one
has been properly treated is conceded
let US not be squeamish in doing the
manly thing at the coming convention,
whenever it be held, and send up Mr..
Knox again with thousand majority
from the District.
