Starvation OF E1ousc.Scrvnnts.

70 the Editor a 1he Chicago TRIBUNE:
SIR: Judging from oil can learn, In the ma
jority OF casos whero 1t is hard to procure help,
insufficient food ia tho cause OF it. havo bad
my information from various sources, but ospo-
cia}1y from no less than four koopers OF intolli-
gollcc-oiHccs; and, IN relation to this subject,
they told mo that they know OF numbers Of fun
ilcs who noyor could keep girl because they
would not really gtyo her enough to oat. III
many casea starvation WAS not confined to tho
girl, but was intu1ged In by Tho family
but tho poor, bcnightcd girl, not having tho
intcrests OF her employers properly at heart could
not appreciate tleir ki1idnoas in placing her
on an equality with themselves In the mattor Of
having nothing to cat, and would bo obliged to
leave, not in quost Of social privllegoB, bit for
food. It Is just possible that working girls may
DO deterrel from entering that inviting field Of
LABOR principally on that account.
:. Whom those persons who are continually writ
ing in tho public prinsa about the incomporency
OF servants beconlo nblo to give them proper Tor
ovon enough itupropor) food, thoy will hnve loss
roason to complain OF "gcneral inctllcioncy,"

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
decided that the Constitutional Conven-
ton has no power ~ direct how the cleo
ton shall be held by which the people
shall determine whether they will accept
or reject the new Constitution; but that
this election must take place. so far rs the
city Of Philadelphia is concerned, under
the registry law enacted by the Legisla-
turc. and that il mus be managed by the
ra-caliy officials skilled in ballot stuing
aud false counting whom that law has kept
in power.
This decision is in the teeth OF the long
established and received doctrine respect
ing the power Of IA constitutional conven-
ton. That power is universally held 10 be
superior TO that of the legislature. The
convention Immediately represents the
people in their sovereign capacity; and If
it chooses it has the right, instead of sub
mtting its work TO the verdict OF an cleo
tion. to put it directly in force without re-
gard TO the existing legislature or courts.
I his doctrine, however, the Supreme
Court of the State now attempts TO over
throw; and this is done in the interest of
the most yillanous set Of public plundcrers
yet discovered in this country.
The first result Of this proceeding is that
in Philadelphia the election returns will
lie Just what these rascals dictate; and
they will cast against the Constitution the
largest majority that prudent regard for
their own safety will allow them to con-
coct. But will they thereby succeed in
defeating the Constitution and in putting
OF indefinitely all hope OF reform? That
j. question which can only he answered
by the people Of the state. II they are in
earnest in the matter, and if they really
wish for honest elections, honest lcgisla-
ton, and honest administration, they will
only be stimulated by this judicial attempt
20 deprive them OF their rights TO support
the proposed Constitution with such
unauimity that no cheating in the city OF
Philadelphia will avail. But If such is not
their sentiment, fraud, corruption, and
public plumber will continue aud viii grow
in the state until either society sinks in
ruin or n moral and political revelation
applies the ueedful corrcItivVs.

What the Albany Law Journal says of Noah


The punishment of Tweed's counsel for

extranrdnary proceeding At the commence
ment Of the recent trial of Mr.. Tweed, his coun-
sci handed up Judge Davis paper suggesting

ing this paper Mes.rs. Fullerton, Graham, W.
Edelsten-were ordered to appear In Court on
saturday last. ON that day Mr.. Fullerton. In his
own and his associates behalf, read an elabo-
rate defence, discluming any intent OF disre-
spect to either the Judge or the Court. or intent
to intmidate the Judge or to drive him from
the bench, and insisting that, in view OF the ex-
plantations given. they had done nothing unbe-
coming their duties as counsel or dsrespectiul
to the Court. Judge Davis thcreupOn remarked
that If the paper had been handed to him pri-
vately or out uf court, IL would have dropped

Couli not regard II a. a personal matter. He
regarded IL H. an effort to iudIc the Judge To
leave the bench, TO surrender the position IN
which he was sitting, and to in,imdate the
Court from the performance Uf its duty. The
Judge declared that he was actuated, not by
duty toward the bar, toward the Court and
above all toward the administration of justice,
aud after commenting at some length upon the
proper links Of cunsels duty, he imposed

management ut that time, but though he
was able to control the House in condoning
these crimes. hc could not reach the con-
stituencics.who put their black mark upon
every member who betrayed his trust and
sold his vote.
In the face of that Judgment he has had
the hardihood to award the distinctions
due to the purcst integrity and The highest
merit to men who combined like TWEED
and INGERSOGL TO plumber the people, and
who if they had their deserts would now
be sharing with those worthies the de-
served doom of u penitcntiary, instead of

prostitution of his position TO this base use
would be sufficient to condemn him and
to fix his place among the venal crew vino
have bought and sold legislation. He has
chosen his company and will be known
by ii.
The Republican House Of Representa-
tivcs is thus audaciously organized, with
the chiefs of Credit Moblicr at the head of
the greatest committees. All shame has
been discarded and an open invitation ex-
tended TO every form Of corruption. Such
is the commencement OF the Forty-third
Congress. Its eud may be easily forcsccn.

The Chief Jusiiccship-Who viii Sit

We take it that the nomination of
GEORGE H. WILLIAMS 10 be Chief Justice
Of the Supreme Court will be rejected.
There is no knowing, TO be sure, 10 what
base uses tn Senate of the United State,
may come NJ last; but we hardly think
rho ,.uHrnation OF WILLIAMS Will be one
of them.
II WILLIAMS is rejected, the very ':'er-
esting question which next arises is, Who
then will be nominated! followed by the
further query, Who then VIII accept the
place?
1t has lost much of its lustre and attrac-
tion by the circumstance that such man
has thus been named for il by the Pres
ideut.
Who will aocep, the invitation on being
asked after WILLIAMS;
1t does not follow that because WILLIAMS
himself has been content TO take mp with
what others have left, everybody else VIZ
be.
BENJAMIN r. CURTIS would undoubtedly
be tine most suitable man; bat we appre-
hcnd he would decline,
We should be unwilling now 70 see VII
