None Of the Representatives or Senators from
Vermont in Congress appeared On the pages OF
Cakes An.es' memorandum book "a partici~
pants in the great Crodlt uobiiier swindle. But
Vermont, it appearB, has had case Of it's OWL
OF no inconsidorable magnitude. It appears
that the Vermont Central Railroad Company
started out sone years ago, under the govern
ment OF Gov. Smith, with debt OF 81, 4,848, :
600, and now owes s12, ,s52, 900. AL the persons
connected with the road have become immensely
rich. The Legislature has from time to time
passed all the acts that tho managers needed.
A year ago, somebody made public come
vouchers OF the Company, showing the pay
ments Of large sums Of money to members Of
tho Legislature. An investigation was forced,
and is now going on. The evidence taken
develops that there is corporation known as
the National Dispatch Company, which carries
through freight from the West. This Company
had 5000 shares Of 800, On which ESQ had been
paid Tho stock was held by the officers Of the
Vermont Central Company. This Company
divides II per cent dividends On the whole stock,
or q per cent On tho money actually invested.
Another corporation, was the Vermont Iron and
Car Company, which has u capital Of 81, 100000,
Of which $500, 600 Was paid up. The stock was
held. by the officers Of the Vermont Central.
The cars were built at the shops Of the Vermont
Central Railroad Company for cost. The cars
thus built canned enough each year to pay their
entire cost and 10 per cent in addition. The
Vermont Central Company hired these cars to do
it's business. It has also appeared that tho Rail-
road Company had large fund On hand, seques-
tered from the earnings Of the road, which fund
vas called the Secret Service Fund. Mr.
]. D. Hatch, who had the disbursement
Of this fund, testified that he paid to
large number OF persons named, mem
bers Of the Vermont Legislature, leading
Republicans, Judge Of the State Supreme
Court, and others, Sums Of money duly record
ed in his vouchers. The object sought By these
payments VAS precisely that sought by Cakes
Ames-the prevention Of adverse legislation The
result OF all this is, that Vermont is in o high
state OF Excitement. Tho Vermont Centrnl Com
pany has added many millions to it's debt, while
through the Dispatch and Car Companies tho
managers hare been reaping immense fortunes.
Considering the eizo Of tho State, the Vermont
Credit NobiIer is q greater fraud than that Of
Oakes Amcs. The Springfield D1nssachusetts)
Republican gives the crodit Of the exposure to
the former Secretary Of Gov. Smith, Mr. Eugene
Perkins, who, it says, is now Treasurer Of Pull
mans palaco Car Company, Chicago. He is said
to have made full statement Of tho whole cor
ruption expenditure.

NOTES AND OPINION.

The Ohio Legislature (Republican), in de-.
nouncing the Congressional salary steal, did not
forget the censure TINT belongs also to the PreB-
ident, and did not heatate to call for repeal OF
80 much OF the salary increase as relates to Con-
gressmen. The Legislature also revived and
ratified tha constitutional amendment Of 1859,
providing that no Law varying the compensation
Of members Of Congress shall take effect until
an election for Representatives shall have inter-
vened. The vote in the Senate stood Is to 4; in
the House, 60 to l.
The Harrisburg CPa.) State Journal doubts
if there will be q political convention OF any
kind, this summer, that does not denounce the
increase Of Congressional pay, and demand its
repeal.

any Intermediate process of 1aw, and for the
purpose Of collecting tax levy Of extortionate
proportions. The Kellogg Government then
proposed that the local Offices throughout tho
State should Likewise be committed to tho hands
Of the Kellogg partisans, regardless OF the re-
suit Of local elections. Hence the resistance re-
ported from various parishes in the State.
Hence the aspect OF war, and the organization
of the Metropolitan Police force Of Now Orleans
to do service as State army to put down the in
surrections throughout the State.
Every fair-minded man who shall so over tho
history Of the Louisiana troubles will find It df-
flcult to regard the outbreaks in that State in
the light OF "a new Rebellion" against the
United States Government. Gen. Grant is per-
sonaly responsible for the embarrassing poai-
ton which the United States Government holds,
by having sustained the unlawful and Infamous
conduct Of the United States Judge who exceed
ed his powers. It is for Gen. Grant to work tho
Government out OF the dilemma In which he has
placed it. There are only two ways in which he
can proceed-either to rocede from tho
false position which ho assumed in tho
frat place, OF to exercise the authority he
possesses to put down an insurrection, after tho
recognized Government Of Louisiana shall have
applied for assistance. Tho latter course would
be to sustain an error Of the Administration,
and IN injury against Louisiana and could only
be justified on the broad principle Of govern
ment usually expressed in tho aphorism, "The
King can do no wrong" In putting down the
Louisiana Instructions, Gen. Grant will prob
ably be forced to call out volunteers. Tho
United States troops located in the South
would not be 'ablo to successfully combat
outbreaks that are distributed throughout
the State, and no troops could be called from
tho Indian frontier at this time with safety.
Whether Gen. Grant will allow Mr.. Kellogg
and Lis bogus Government to struggle alone
with tho popular uprisings against his usurpa-
ton, or wlldthor he will mako call for yolun-
teers to put down rebellion against what
Republican Committee OF tho United States has
declared an unlawful State Government, is d
matter which he will probably decide at his good
leisure

We are informed that the action Of the South
Park Commissioners euBpending the ordinance
which prohibits fast driving on the Grand Boule-
yard, on Wednesday, between the hours Of and
Up. M, is intended to apply to every Wednes-
day during the season, and Was not especially
designed to give President Grant an oppor-
tuaity to attend trottiug- match. The Of
dor, as printed, applied to only one day. It is
gratifying to know that the city is spared such
an exhibition Of toadyiem as would be implied
by suspension OF the ordinance for the pur-
pose OF gratifying the Presidents penchant for
ho1ae-1scing. The impropriety Of his absenting
himself tdr Weeks from Ills public duties, while
affairs OF the gravest moment aro transpiring, and
ata time, too, when he and greedy Congress have
doubled their salaries, remains all the same.

father, the most distinguished of the English
Utilitarian philosophers after Benthan- His

fy his researches. Compelled to support
himself, he has filed a responsible
position in the Government service while en-
gagged in economical andmetaphysioal researches,
which Of themselves would have been an e1-

Comptroller Green, Of New York, is in the
awkward position Of having to provide for the
expenses Of the costliest city government in the
country out Of an empty Treasury. The Courts
have declared the ta1-leyy Of last year, for the
purpose Of supplying the deficiency in the
Treasury, to be unconstitutional. This deprives
the Comptroller OF 81, 100000 Of revenue. He
has no means for getting any more; and will be
compelled to submit, as he has done before, to
the reproaches Of unpaid workmen, contractors,
and officials, who shower on him the maledlctions
that should fall on Tweed, Connolly, Hall, and
EYeany.

some time after the War Of 1925, the Leg
islature Of Pannsylvania recommended to Con-
gress to submit al amendment prohibiting tho
Incorporation BY Congress- Of any corporation
with banking powera, unless it's offices and oper-
ations were confined to the District Of Columbia.
Vermont, about the same time, urged Congress
to submit an amendment providing for tho eleo-
ton Of members OF Congress and Presidential
Electors by districts.
Kentucky, about 1919, revived the amendment
OF 1889 relating to the compensation of MEM
be1s Of Congress, and asked Congress to submit
It in the following form:
That no law varying tho compensation OF the mem-
bers Of the Congress OF the United States aha take
effect until the time for which the members Of the
House Of Representatives Of that Congress- by which
the law VAS passed, shall have expired.
According to the custom Of these days, each
State communicated it's action on National mat
tars to all the other States, and the Legislature
Of Illinois, IN 1921, passed resolutions indorsing
the propositions made by Vermont aud Pennsyl-
vania, but protesting against that made by Ken
tucky. There we're also, from timo to time, vazi-
ous propositions made in Congress- to submit
amendments. The majority Of these related to
the election OF President and Vice-Presfdent.
In 1861, these propositions we're numerous, sll Of
them being e1pedienta to prevent war, and
none Of them, save the one wa have quoted, re-
ceived the requisite tWo-thirds yote in either

gard Of orery white man in tho State; even the

ful, were sure to be mauo to kill him, and his

the ground that he WAS q minister Of the Gospel,
that he novor ,lectured for money, and that

to preach in an American pulpit. Mr.

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.


The action Of the Senate OF tho Ohio Legis-
laturo in ratifying an amendment to tho Consti-
tuition, submitted by Congress in 1889, when
there were but eleven States in the Union, has
led to discussion Of the question as to whether
an amendment once submitted by Congress is to
be considered ia always pending thereafter until
tits adopted. There is no such thing as rejection
Of an amendment. It may not bo ratified, but
it lives forever, and statute Of limitation ever
begins to run against it. There has been no
time since the original ratification Of the Consti-
tuition that an amendment Of it has not been
sought by some portions OF the country. Many
Of the States accompanied their acts OF ratifca-
ton Of the Constitution By urgent requests for
the submission OF various amendments. The
First Congress, therefore, in 1889, submitted no
leas. than twelve amendments to the Constitu-
ton. Ten OF these were adopted, and
aro now parts of the Constitution. In
1894, Congress submitted another amend
ment, which was ratified in 1898, and is
known as the Eleventh Amendmont Tho
Twelfth Amendment WAS submitted in 1903, and
was ratified in 1904. There Was no other amend
ment submitted by Congress until March,
1861. The Thirteenth Amendment WAS submit
ted in 1865, the Fourteenth in 1866, aud the
Fifteenth in 1869, and were all ratified. There
are, therefore, ut this time, three amendments
which have never been ratified, and are now
pending and submitted to the Legislatures for
