The New Constitution,

Shall it be adopted! we nave nere-
tofore expressed our views fully upon
the subject and in the affirmative. The
more we reflect upou 1t, the more are We
convinced of the importance of its adop-
tion. 1t has been deliberately framed
by Convention composed of the very
best men in our State--men ofall shades
Of political opinions-men far above
partizanship-meu whose earnest en-
deavors are for the good of the State.
Without reading it, We were convinced
that they could have produced none but
ali instrument well adapted to the wants
of our State at the present tilns. But
we have read it; and while there may
be few clauses in ii, which we might
prefer to have changed; yet we ere so
well pleased with the dccument that as
whole we think ii could scarcely be i'm
proved, 1t aims to rut a step TO col
rupton in all places, from the Leg gisla-
ture down to the lowest positions OF thus.
If adopt Ell it will stiip from Railroad and
other Corporations their immense powor;
and make them all as they should be,
subservant to the interests OF the people.
Under existing Laws, Railroads and Ger
porations are King and the people are
ubjcct subjects. The new Constitution
aims, and we think will, ef3ectually, re-
verse this state of affairs, 1t also aims
10 place all power in the hands Of the
people, and to some extent viii take
from the majority patty the full control
it now has, and give 10 the minority
a fair show according to its strength.
This is right. The PEOPLE ale the scOurce
Of all power, and every mau should haze
a 9ht to be heard.
We are pleased to notice thar the
journals throu5 5hout tie State, with few
eSceptions--o! all partics---in arc favor

THE OLD STEAL.

Our Radical legislature has commenced
the old steal-indireetly increasing salaries.
A resolution was passed at the instigation
of i. +. Lane, of Hancock, a Radical
providing that the Doorkeeper be author
tied to call upon the Secretary of State
for such articles as said Doorkeeper
may deem necessary for the use and con
venience Of its members Under this
comprehensive and sweeping order the
Secretary of State is placed at the service
OF the Doorkeeper and under his command,
and the Doorkeeper can supply his friends,
the members, with everything they desire.
He is made the Judge and caterer of their
wants. He can supply them with station
cry stove-pipe hats, Overcoats and gum
shoes at his discretion. The Constitution
was evidently never intended to apply to
this Legislature
Not one single member raised his voice
against this steal-this plain and palpable
violation of the constitution they ali had
sworn to uphold and defend. We know
that it is a Radical legislature, and that
the Radical party is responsible for what
is done but have Democratic members no
duty to perform? Are they to sit in 81
lence and see the treasury robbed for their
own private benefit? Was there not one
Democrat among the 65 who were there
who had moral courage enough to defend
the constitution, and represent the people
who sent him? We regret to say
there was not,

FREEZING UP.-The service pipes OF
good many water takers are already frozen
up, and more will be unless they are bet
ter protected At six different points, on
two blocks on Illinois street, to-day men
were seen digging down to the frozen pipes.
As yet, the mains are all right, though
many people think the Water Beard
should have laid them in trenches five
feet deep. The trenches for the mains
are only four feet deep, and the ground
troze, in many places in our streets, last
winter, nearly FIVE feet The top OF the
mains are only about three feet below the
surface Many practical contractors say
the trenches should have been five feet
deep that the expense would not have
been $1,000 greater, and then they would
have been safe But they are all right, 50
far, and we hope they will continue ~'.
/ Water takers however, are responsible
for their own pipes, after they leave the
mains, and every er-taker should have
had his pipe bent down at least foot
/ deeper than the main. But there would
then be the same danger of freezing- near
the main that there is now. It is the
opinion of many that the entire mains will
have to go down foot lower before the
wafer works in this city will be a success
Bending down the service pipes L or 10
inches below their present position and
then protecting them in the best manner
may answer 1t is easier and cheaper To
do that than to be at the expenseof digging
out and thawing out and replacing bursted
pipes Experience, however, viii soon
teach people the best way.

TOWNSHIP LINE.-Thc people residing
in Black Hawk township, north of Rock
river, are beginning to see that their true
interest lies in being annexed to this
township Il would not increase their
taxes a penny it would not make them, in
any sense, part Of the city, or any more
liable to become part of it than they
now are but it would give them exactly
what they want, viz all the Road Com
missioners, and all the district path mas
tiers, so that they would manage and con
troll that matter precisely as they please.
Annexation to this township will not only
give them the entire control Of their roads,
but il will be much more convenient for
them in regard to all township business.
We are told that they will petition the
Board of Supervisors, at the March term,
20 have the change made The petition
should be circulated very soon. in order to
give all chance to consider the matter
