The PENNSYLVANIA CoNsTITUTIoN.-The
following are the distinctive features of the
new constitution which was adopted by large
majority in Pennsylvania Tuesday:
The limitations imposed on special legisla-
ton are such as to remove one of the most pro-
life sources of corruption. The legislator can
no longer be exposed to the temptation of nut
ting up the rights of his constituents for sale
to the highest bidder. Municipalities and cor
porations will no longer find themselves the
subjects of unrestricted plumber, nor can they
purchase exemption or undue privileges by
thinly-yeiled bribery Restricted to the consd-
Grafton OF general laws, the assembly will be-
COME place OF honor, to seat in which the
best citizens may be expected to aspire, Will.
the wise provisions against lobbying and hasty
legislation. the increase in the number of mem
bers, and the holding of biennial sessions will
insure more thoughtful consideration of ali
subjects presented for action.
While there has been honest difference of
opinion on the subject of an elective judiciary
all men have united in the wish to keen tba
bench beyond the influence of politics This
desirable result has been accomplished to a
great extent by prolongng the terms of JUS
tees of the supreme conrt and rendering them
iLeligble for reelection. All extra judicial
functions have also been removed from the
lower courts.

The Salary Bill.

Yesterday the House of Representatives
rejected the bill reported by the special COM
mittee fixing the salary at $500 from the
fourth of March, 1874, and adopted Mr..
Hurlbut's substitute prepared by Gen. But
Ter establishing the compensation at $4,000 a
year from the date Of the passage of the bill.
This action, it is needless to say, will not
meet the approval of the country. 1t is not
the increase of $500, but the exhibition of
the unworthy and mercenary spirit of
those who rallied under the leadership of
Gen. Butler. Never in one hour did that
man ever display his varied powers Of trick
ster, swaggerer, coward and rufian so con-
spicuously and Extensively.
The Senate has voted to postpone the
House resolution for long holiday vacation.
It will be very cool in the North for such
members as have acted unworthily upon the
salary question.

PLOT TO BLOW UP THE MINNEsoTA.-A New
York despatch says that soon after the night
workers were relieved by the:Lay men Tuesday
morning, in the Bfooklyn navy yard, discovery
was made of two kegs of powder secreted in
the hold of the Minnesota. the finest and near
est completed war ship in the repairer's hands.
The generally accepted belief in the yard is that
these kegs were filled with their explosive con-
tents gradually, flask by flask, and being old
and with every appearance Of hard service, es-
capped particular notice. The Minnesota's near
est neighbor is the Spanish frieate Arapiles
Yet that the bitter chagrin of the Spaniards at
being virtually imprisoned should assume so
dabolical form of retaliation, seems scarcely
credible. The concealment of the powder

cess of the vessel was carefully scrutinized,

private citizen will, as heretofore, enjoy full
protection against public SANDER malfeasance
in Office and matters proper for public infor-
nation can be exposed, if done without malice

A board OF pardons is created, whose pro-

ing us from the scandals which have SO gravely
affected the politics and the administration of
Justice of the commonwealth.
A Limitation is imposed on the creation of
municipal debts, which will serve as powerful
restraint upon corrupt expenditures or reckless
improvidence.
Appropriation of public money for the sup
port of sectaran schools is forbidden, while
the labors OF women as teachers are recognized
by rendering them eligible for positions of con
troll.
The details of local administration are sep
arated from general politics by providing for
separate municipal elections.
A much-needed restraint is imposed on inn

Costly Churches and Taxation.

The little house in which have lived
for the last fifteen years l shall soon have
to pay tax on of about $500. 1t was
about that last year, and in New York
revolutions never go backward. But
right before my eyes, as I come
down the steps, rises lofty and luxuri-
Gus edifice, the property OF few rich
men, which they only care to use four
hours 3 week. 1t is worth, | suppose,
half a million dollars; and il it were
fairly taxed, il would place in Mr.
Green's treasury, in the course of next
month, not less than $4,000 But it will
not pay him one dollar, because it has
two steeples upon it, and is named in
honor of the patron saint of England,
who slew the dragon. But mark: II
mob should burn it, the Taxpayers OF
New York would be expected to pay
every dollar of the damage. At this
moment n number of very worthy gen.
tlemen, who stand justly high in this
community, are building in the Fifth
Avenue an edifice for their Sunday edi-
ficatiOn which is to cost about $500, 600.
The land alone cost S35O,O00. These
gentlemen have perfect right to build
this costly and elegant structure if they
can afford it, and if it accords with the
principles of their religion, of which
luGN are W NC AA4C lNb6C1f Il MAhl
to remark that churches OF this charac-
ter may be fairly classed as luXuries; and
as such are peculiarly adapted to taxa
ton. Many good Christians deeply la
ment the expenditure of so much money
upon edifices which minister to the de-
sires of so few, and to these few only
few hours in each week. But 1 tell
these lamenting Christians the only
way to keep within bounds the erection
of costly churches is to subject them to
/ Just and equal taxation. The Tribune
tells US that our Episcopal brethren are
about TO erect in this city 4 cathedral
| that is to cost two million dollars. It
will more likely cost five; and there is
| one gentleman interested in the scheme
who could build it outright, gold candle
sticks and all, by assigning to it his sur
/ plus income for two years. Among the
/ subscrit ttiOns already received are two
/ of hundred thousand dollars each. I
I would put it to the justice Of the Amer
/ lean people and would submit it to the
/ heavy tax-payers of New York, if it Is
/ fair to the aboring men Of this city to
exempt 81 h an edifice from taxation.

a little older, we can make things come
around all right. / Idon'tmean toalways
live with lot Of herders, and l don't
mean you shall, Sis; so keep up your
pluck for the good time coming"
"Well, WILL" promised Judith,
desperately; "but Oh, Boonei i"-the
little tender wall died on her lips;
the two sat silent for some minutes;
then Boone kissed his sister goodnight
and goodbye" and they separated.
In the morning Boone was gone, and
the march of Fate had been begun.
How hard thing it is for women that
il so often happens the most cruel blows
of destiny are brought upon them by
the personal acts of those whom they
love or are closely related 70. They
have not only TO bear the bitterness of
subjecting every strongest inclination
to a despotic will, but when the evil
they dreaded has arrived, TO submit TO
an equal share-often more than an equal
share-in the penalty it involves. I
think the new gospel that is demanded
in the world OF women is the gospel OF
selhshness. Too many of them need,
like Charles Reade's heroine in 'Put
Yourself in His Place" TO pray for
selfishness. "They teach us girls to pray
for this and that virtue, which we have
too much of already; and what we ought
to pray for is selfishness. But no,
think of my father, and think Of that
hypocrite; but the one person whose
feelings was too mean and base and
silly 10 consult was myself. always
abhorred this marriage. feared it and
loathed it; yet yielded step by step for
want Of little selfishness. We are
slaves without it-mean, pitiful, con-
temptible slaves. o, God, in mercy
give me selfshness! All, me, it is too
late now. am lostcreature; nothing
| is left me but to die"
ITO be continued
