Our article Of Monday last on tho manufac-

interesting facts. Among those is the corroson

was troubled with sevore burning at tue atomacl,
and yiolont headache for several days, which
symptoms disappeared when tho family coused
to uso sirup ut the breakfast-lable.
Thcro Is no doubt that tho Aaie Of tbis poison

tion has donc, wore it only as we'll known. And
it ia really Of much moro Importance to the COM

not amount to 10 much as 81 por lcad to tho
people of Chicago, while the other may be tho
means Of shortening many valuable liyoa.

ION to complain If lio has to suiror those penal

Mr.. Hcs'ng should sock to improve tho oppor-
t,,nity by takiug all unmanly personal roycnge.
Moro t1lan this, for the sake Of public dcconcy
II for no other, bIr. Hosting should not only
refrain from persecution, hut he should keep re-

Of this nliBdoing, or III providing for It's punish
nlent, should have cloan minds themselves.
Their own connection with official Affairs
must bo clear of suspicion. Those who havo
boon grabbing public money themselves have
no right to comment upon llr. Gases conduct.
Mr.. liosiug belongs to this class, aud the only
difference between tho two men Is that Mr. Hes
ing got q law passed which enabled him to do 1t
with impunity. while Mr. Gage did It III violation

OFFICIAL 0ATd5.

Ono reason for the numerous defalca.ions and
othor acts Of Official dishonesty which are just
now 30 abundant, may be traced to the fact that
the oath OF Office is no lightly regarded, especial
ly where that oath is takon at Btated times, and
so frequently that it becomes at last d moro
form.-a habit which a nun performs mocEan-
ically, Us ho would put On Ills coat or tako OF his
hat. Gradually it loses it's solcmnity. The Off
cial goes boforc Notary, holds up his haud,
listens to the drone Ut tho Notary, atld mods his
head, and has performed an official act, which
probably has not huir 10 much importance to
him Al the signing Of check for twenty
five dollars would have. Thcre aro fow
men who would willingly and dolib-
orately riolate MI oath. oven II 1t involved no
logal penalty, If that oath woro administered to
them in all lts solemnity, TAD placed before them
in such 4. manner tint thoy were impreas-
cd with its sanctity and with tho obll-
cations which it devolvod upon them.
Where the oath il accompanied with o Bovorc
legal poualty for its violation as III tlo caso OF
tho oath which ex-City Treasurer Gagc WAS
Obliged to take every month. man would lcsi-
tate sti longer before he violated It. The i'd
ministering Of tho oath. the assumption lit, and
everything connected with 1t. have become
mere bnsinoaa form. Tho most dreadful part o.
the accusation against mr. Gaga is, that he could
so boforo Notary oyery month, and Bwcar that
ho had not appropriated any Of tho city money
to Ills own Use, with tho penalty before him that
violation Of this onth was willful perjury.
YoarB ago, a stfoot-c Commissioner waB punished,
in this city, for adding fictitious names to h,s
pay-rolls, drawing the money on them, aud then
making oath to tho correctness OF his state-
mont. This ia tic only case re can recall
where tho penalty Inns boon imposed for official
perjury. The sanctty OF the oath will not have
binding force until tho penalty Ia enforced.
Then, and not TIL then, will tho oath cease to bo
a matter Of more form and become mattor Of
fact.

Tie adoption CT tho HOW Constitution il tho
stnte Of Pennsylvania ID one Of the greatest popl-
lar triumphB tlnt has occurred for many yeara.
There was no Htato in which tho Government
waa mors corruptty administered, aud mono in
which corruption was moro caal1y practced than
iii Pennsylvania. Tic Oil Constitution waa
wholly inapplicable to nloaorn institutions, and
mover contemplated tho personal aud otllclnl do
p:avity which lavo bocomo 10 powerful In
modorn politics. Tho Convention which framed
tho new Constitution was composed Of tho
ablest mon III tho State, selected for their pro-
foasional omnonco and their personal integrity.
It was FREQ Of a!l rartiaau bias and prejudice.
It addressed itself to tho preparation of Con-
Btitution TINT would in an especial mannor pro.
toct the property and tho lIbertica Of tito oizon
against the persons elected to administer tho
Government. It sought to mike official dis.
honesty impossible, nnd surrounded It with
such restraints and ponaltics ~ will mnko
tho practice Of 1T hereafter dangerous.
The City of Philadelphia hns for a long
timo bcon in tho control Of mob of political
rui}lanB, composed Of the worst elements Of both
po1ilicul parties. For many years elections in
TINT city hive been broad farce, oil respectable
people conceding them to be fraudulent. Tho
whole election machinery Of that city Inns bccn
in tho hands Of thia mob, mud this mob haB been
tho blttor opponont Of tho new Constitution. An
attompt wns mado to array tho Republicans of
tho State against tho now Constitution, on tho
urn.,,l flint If H. unro ,1nptoi r. .vor11 iostr,.,
the Republican majority In philalolphia, md
thereby ondangcr tho nscendancy Of TINT party
in tho State. AL tho Republican papors Of Penn
sy1yania controlled ty Fedcral officers have beon
vohoment in thoir oppcation to 1t, but the
people Of tho State, without distinction Of party
have rejected all nero appeals OF politicians aud
have ratified tho Constitution by majority That
loavca no doubt as 10 lis universal acceptabilty.
a great many clergymou OF various douotni-
nations wero weak enough TO preach sermons
against tho new Constitution, because It pro-
llbitod tho appropriation or expenditure Of my
public money for any soctarian purpose, aud
prohibited any railroad company from issuing
my FREQ pass or half fare ticket to any person
or class Of porHonH. The Pennsylvania Iegis-
lature has long had an unenviable notoroty for
corruption, mud the Constitution aims to break
this up, aud generally place tho State Govern
mcnt on an honest and reputable foundation.
Iu many Of its fcatures tho new Constitution
hns boon modoled after TINT Of Illinois, adopt
ing, in various particulars, the exact language
Of our Constitution. Its adoption, aud by such
m overwhelming majority, will DO an oman-
oipation Of t he State from tho tllraldom Of tho
great corpoiate mouopoliea, and their agonta,
