THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON-
VENHION.

The time is short enough for all
that is to be done, between this and
the meeting of the Convention.
First. Our choice Of candidates is
to be made, judiciously and with
such care as BELTS the Importance OF
the trust. 1t is no legislative duty
subject to yearly revision that is to
be entrusted to these men let US not
forget that it is the framing of a r ew
Constitution. "Constitu.ion" in this
sense has the same effect that 1t has
in relation to the human body, It is
that fundamental germ and essence
upon the strength and soundness of
which the very Life of the life depends
we want no dabblers for this work.
1t calls for our wisest and best men.
See that there is no error in the Sc
lection.
Second. The election on the first
Monday of April is to be looked af-
ter. The ratio of membership is the
same as for the present House of
Representatives-the Districts the
same. 1t is of supreme importance
that the wise and good men selected
for candidates shall also be elected.
1t is not sufficient to have the best
candidates. 1t happens unfortuna-
tely that by superior activity men
who are not the best candidates some
times secure the election. There is
work to be done And it is time to
set about ito. s. Journal.

Abscnteeism on the part of our
legislators has become an intolerable
as we'll as an inexcusible nuisance.
1t retards business, piles up expense,
demoralizes the legislators, and, not
to draw the point too fine, plays the
devil generally. Men, who never
legitimately compassed the gain Of
so much as twenty dollars a week
before in the course of their lives,
after log-rolling. begging, protesting
and Icing beyond computating, have
succeeded in securing the cont. act
of representing the people of their
districts here in our law-making as
sembly at thirty five dollars a week !;
and how do they fulfill those con-
tracts2 By diligently doing their
duty, just as they would require any
one3o do whom they had employed Z
| Not at all Many of them go about
their private business, just as before
their election, sparing only time
enough to draw their pay while 9th
ers come here, but spend their nights
in carousal and their days in doing
There is only one way to cure this
legislative leprosy, and that is fol
our coming Constitutional Conven
ton to fix the pay of legislators at
say, FIVE hundred dollars for eacl
session, with a five dollar deduction
therefrom for every days absence
and, at the same time, put it out o
the power OF the Legislature to re
nit these penalties. No work, n,
, pay, is the motto of individual EN-
ployers, and the people cannot adop
it TOO soon.-O. Statesman.

Hon Oakes Ames, Republican,
from Massachusetts,, and Hon. James
Brooks. Democrat, from New York,
members of the lower House of Con-
gress, were yesterday required to
bear the burden of a public censure
by the legislative body to which
they have the honor to be attached,
for their implication in the use and
abuse of Credit Mobilier stock in
advancing their own peeauiary gain
to the disadvantage of the Govern
ment and dishonor Of the political
and official positions to which they
were elevated. Under this odium OF
censure it may not be that their SEN
sitive natures will bow down in sack
cloth and ashes, nor is it probable
they will seek strong limb of 8
sturdy forest oak and hang them
selves but whatsoever be their fate
it is hope that they first make res.
titution to the government of the
money dishonest obtained through
manipulating Credit Mobilier stock
Only this and nothing more.-O s

How Drinking Causes Apoplexy

1t is the essential nature of all
wines and spirits to send an increas-
ed amount of blood to the brain.
The first effect of taking glass of
wine or stronger form of alcohol, is
to send the blood there faster than
common, hence the circulation that
gives the red face. 1t increases the
activity of the brain, than it works
faster and so does the tongue, But
the blood goes to the brain faster
than common, it returns faster, and
no special harm results. But sup
pose man keeps on drigging, the
blood is sent to the brain SO fast, in
large quantities. that in order to make
room for it the arteries have to en-
large themselves they increase in
size, and in doing so they press
against the more yielding and flaccid
veins which carry the blood. out OF
the brain and thus diminish their size,
their yores, the result being that the
blood is not only carried to the art
cries Of the brain faster than is nat
ural or healthful, but it is prevented
from leaving it as fast as usual ; hence
a double set of caucus of death arr
in operation. A man may drinl
enough brundy or other spirits iu 9
few honrs. or even minutes, to bring
on a fatal attack of apoplexy.

Bogy's troubles are not ended, and
it is by no means certain that he
will be suffered to take his seat in
the United States Senate without q
sharp struggle. The investigation
in the Missouri Legislature into the
question wheter his election was
procured through bribery, turned
out such farce that it was generally
hooted at. Even the friends of Mr..
Bogy had to admit that its whitewash
was too thin to deceive any one, and
that common decency required re-
opening of the investigation. Mr..
Bogy professed an earnest desire for
further investigation,b but it has come
to light that this expressed desire
was but throwing dust in the public
eyes, and that his partisans under
stood thorough investigation would
be very unpalatable. Whatever the
wishes of Mr.. Bogy may be, it is
understood there must be further in
vestigation somewhere, and there
are pretty plain indications that if it
in any degree approaches thorough
ness, the chance of Mr.. Bogy's ex-
culpation is very slim.-C.Herald.

POST OFFICE ELECTION.

Hunt Harpster & Co., held on
Saturday lastwhat they, aswe suppose
will call an election. We will only
undertake to give the readers Of the
Republican synopsis of the thing,
for really no farce ever was played in
thistown equal to it. The principalsof
the firm quarielled over the manner
in which Classy had conducted the
campaign, when everybody knows it
was all one sided affair, all they
had to do was to ring in their forces
with no one to moles. or make them
afraid, Cuneo'e article in last weeks
issue declining emphatically to be a
candidate at that election was well un-
derstood by all who read it. Still the
members of the party we're dragoned
in every possible way,and brought to
town in numbers exceeding any time
since the Presidential campaign end
ed. Over two hundred Republicans
from the country came to the Post
Office and rendered their votes to
Cuneo, and were eager for contest,
even at that election, to show that
they could swamp anything that
might be brought into the field by
that ring. Cune told them all, not,
20 vote for him at that election. They
polled votes from half dozen town
| ships, and from all political parties,
and the sum total was 118 votes, OF
which Cuneo got Z, men who went
right into the enemy's camp after
all he had said, and showed theil
pluck, and preference. Hartsough or
his merit alone can make a much
better show,than they made for him
Gassey's Republicanism is too thir

may scare some women and small
children down in Pitt TIP. but We
have got used to it here in town,
it only excites ridicule and contempt
