OUTRAGEOUS AFrAlR.-On the night O.
sunday February 10th, n most disgracc-
iul affair occurred about 1--WE miles iro,,
E>till spril gs, in this county. We arc
informed that three men went to the lous,
ora French citizen, whose family consists
or MS wife and two daughters. and asked
permission to go in and warm, which re-
quest the aforesaid gentleman vory Kind
~ granted After the scoundrels entered
they commenced to act d~isordelly. and
attempted to lay violent hands upon the
TWO girls, but they escaped to the woods.
Then one Of the intrudcrs mtnacel the
OH man, while the Others outraged his
wife. Officer SuLletr, of the seven
tcchth district, We understand, has n writ
Ior the arrest OF Dick and Tom Hampton
ana George Farris. who are charged with
the hendlsh deed. In the name of all that
sacred, and to the end that ju tice may
be done such villains, it is to be hoped they
may be arrested, and ifthcy are the guilty
ohes there Is no punishment too severe
mat should not be mcted out to them, and
should be no slack OF effort until
hey are caught.

Midnight Musings.
NY HALLAiI y. ssssss.


IT'S mldnight's still and holy hour,
Inc hour when dreams fit through tn
brain,
ANA wake to life some with cred flower
That left upon the heart its stain,
Inc pageant throng that nightly crowd
Around fair Luna's regal throne.
'eiled not by mist or lleecy cloud,
SHINE brilliant as they ever shone.
i.s midnight, too, within my soul,
Midnight bercft of every star;
M through Its depths dark shadows roll
NO CLEAN Of light finds entrance there
Inc past, the past, comes floating by
And brings the wreck of golden bours-
rause' memory, as We bring it nigh,
win tears I'll battle these cherished
flowers.
y! VIII they never bloom again?
Must hopes andloves forgotten be?
Then earth will seem a desert plain,
And life, though short, eternity.
All. one bright flower could | but save.
Whose fragrance thrilled my soul with
love,
Il loss the rest on Lethe's wave,
Ana old Its waters onward move.

Constitutional Convention.

While we had reason to believe, from a
position formerly taken by our Bowling
Green cotemporary, not to say anything
prior to the assembling of any convention
for FEAR of "forestalling public opinion" "
1t now affords us pleasure to see that it has
abandoned this position, and to concur with
it on the qualifications of members to the
G institutional Convention. The object of
this convention, is to review and revise the
present constitution of our State, and its
m'mbers, therefore, should be men we'll
versed in constitutional law, who will be
prepared, by study and experience, to pre-
serve whatever may be good and valuable
in our present constitution, while seeking
to remedy its defects. In framing the
fundamental charter Of our commonweal tn,
the highest intelligence attainable should
be called to the task, and local or personal
feuds should be forgotten.
It is generally conceded that our judicial
system Ia seriously defective, and that the
gre ltest labor Of the convention will, prob
ably, bs required in its reorganization.
Surely no one can be so we'll qualified to
discharge this duty as he who has long
BEEN familiar with the administration
vi justice; who has daily observed the
weaknesses in our present system, and who,
by reflection and experience, is prepared
TO suggest and enforce the proper correct
ives. In this field no mere tyro should
enter, whose ambition to distinguish him
aeH would lsad to destruction rather than
to improvement.
Our legislative system may also command
attention, as it is believed by many of our
wisest statesmen that it is susceptible Of
substantial improvement.
The Article relating to Finance should
be carefully revised SO az more effeetually
10 protect the people from plunder, under
the guise OF taxation, as is now too often
he case. While special taxation is desir-
able, it should be protected from abuse.
The subjects also of railroads, minority
representation, education, the sale Of in
toxieating liquors and others, probably,
may come under considera tion. To deter
mine all these in proper and satisfactory
manner, requires that the members Of that
convention should he men of education
knowledge md experience in governmental
aITairs; men fully imbued with the spirit
ii the age, yet cautious and conservative
in action, as hasty or violent conclusions
seldom lead 10 henehcial results. Ii we

A RIG THING

The scale Of salaries for the most important
odicss,a as agreed upon BY the House Judiciary
Cjmmittss, 10 as follows: President, $50, 900 ;
Vice President and Speaker sF the House, and
Justices Of the Supreme Court, $l0,oOe; and
Senator's and Representatives, 5000 each.
The mileage system is abolished, and only the
actual travelling expenses TO and from the cap
itOl allowed. The increase OF pay of members
Of Congress is to date frcm March 4, 1871, and
that Of the Executive and Judicial officers from
March 4, rs.

marks: "Ws apPrshsud that the public ssnti-

sion by which So 900 each is voted into the
pockets Of the 36o gentlemen who were elected
and served for two years at the stipulated salary

would be no lsSs than S2,ls5. 900 la pretty

they should do Il. We undertake to say that
the pay Of Congressman has been mrs nearly

the Judges. Then why should thsV not be
