eERRYMANDERINe AT COLUMBUS,

The Democracy of Ohio, says the
Cleveland Leader, seems determin-
ed to make the utmost out of its
present lease of power. The old
Democratic art of gerrymandering
is to be revived, and not only the
Congressional and Legislative dis
tricts of the State but even the
wards of cities, are TO be so revamp-
ed as to make the minority of Dem
ocratic votes 60 as far as possible
toward controlling local govern
ment. There is now infesting the
capitol at Columbus a promiscuous
gathering of Democratic politicians
from all parts of the State, assem-
bled for the purpose of caucussing
with their brethren in the Legisla-
ture on the best method of redis-
tricting the State in the interest of
their party. No definite plan for
reyamping the State has been agreed
upon, the presence of so many am
bilious statesmen, each anxious to
make his own district secure be.
yond peradventure being of course
an insuperable bar to anything like
agreement on any schedule.

GOVERNORS VETO.

The Constitutional Convention
last week, adopted the following
Section giving the Governor the
veto power:
"SEcTIoN Is. Every bill passed
by the General Assembly shall, be
fore it becomes a law, be presented
to the Governor at least three days
before its adjournment sine die. Ii
he approve it he shall sign 1t, and
thereupon it shall become a law;
but if he does not approve, he shall
send it to the house in which it shall
have originated, with his objections
in writing, and the house shall then
proceed to reconsider the vote ON
the passage of the bill. If, after
such reconsideration, a majority of
the members elected thereto, suffi-
cient for its passage in the first in
stance, agree TO pass the same, il
shall be sent to the other house,
with the objections of the Governor,
and thereupon that house shall like
wise reconsider the vote on its pas
sage. If, after such reconsideration,
like majority of the members elec-
ted to that house agree to pass the
same, it shall become law. If any
bill shall not be returned by the
Governor within three days (Sun-
days excepted) after it shall have
been presented to him, the same
shall become a law in like manner
as if he had signed it.
The Governor shall have power
TO disapprove of any item or items
of any bill making appropriations
of money, em Attracting distinct
items, and the parts or parts of the
bill approved shall be the law, and
the item or items Of appro oriation
disapproved shall he void, unless re-
passed according to the rules and
limitation prescribed for the passage
of entire bills after the dIsapproval
Of the Governor.
EVERY order, resolution or vote
to which the concurrence of both
branches of the General Assembly
may be necessary Except on a ques.
ton of adjournment or questions
pertaining to the transaction OF
business of the two houses), shall
be presented to the Governor; and
before the same shall take effect,
shall be approved by him, or being
disapproved by him, may be repass
ed by both Houses of the General
Assembly, according to the rules
and limitations prescribed in the
case OF 4 bill"

SITUATION IN CONNECTICUT

The situation in Connecticut i:
said not to be hopeful for the elec
tion of a Governor by the people
the temperance ticket having s
probability of getting enough sup
port to prevent either the Republi
can or Democratic candidate getting
a majority. In that case the choice
will rest with the Legislature and
both sides realizing that fact are
mastering their strength for fight in
the Legislative districts. A U. S
Senator is also to be chosen by the
new Legislature, which serves to
make the matter more interesting

RED CLOUDS SON KILLED.

CHEYENNE, WY. T., February A.
The Cheyenne Leader has special
from Fort Fetterman which states
that Cheyenne runner just arriv
ed there from Red Cloud Agency
says that Red Clouds son was kill
ed last Monday night by party OF
Sioux whom he compelled to re-
turn stolen stock. He reports that
nearly all the Cheyennes and Sioux
have left the agency; that hundred
and fifty lodges are now within fif-
ty miles of Fetterman and will come
in or send to that post. He reports
plenty of buffalo in the Big Horn
country and thinks that the Sioux
will go there. Two companies of
cavalry were ordered from here to
Fort Laramie to-day.

A TELLING BLOW.

ogists of human slavery, than Gar
rison or Phillips, in their most heat
ed fever of indignation, ever dealt
Speaking of the colored element il

negro at his best is kindly and
obliging. But he is no., and, con
siderlng his origin, could not be
virtuous and truthful" That is all
but it is stroke which stuns: fol
if, on all this earthly footstool, ther'
was ever a worse crime than tn,
crime of making it impossible TO
human beings to lead noble and un
sullied lives, we should like to know
in what it consisted.

6TIMEtY SUGGESTION.

The Columbus Journal, in view
of the efforts now working for the
repeal of the Adair Liquor Law, in
our Legislature, makes the follow
ing timely suggestions to the Temp
erance ladies of Ohio:
A formidable movement is on foot
to repeal the most effective statute
ever yet enacted sgalnst the liquor
traffic, and we know of no method
so likely to arrest it as the same
species of personal and prayerful
importantly which has been such an
effective agent in shutting up sa
looms In Southern Ohio. Let that
method be tried in the Legislative
halls of the Capitol, and that soon
Let the temperance ladies in al
parts Of Ohio organize crusades fol
rescue of their Legislative Jerusalem
so to speak. Let them come here
and intercede with members, and
implore them to refrain from tear
ing down the legislative barriers
against the tide of intemperance
1t is no use to send petitions; thai
is firing feebly and Intellectually al
the enemy at long range. Neither
is it worth while to declaim throu
the newspapers and endeavor to ere
ate through that agency a restrain
ing force of public opinion. The
average member has become wholly
hardened to that so far as this par
ticular matter is concerned. But
the personal entreaty of the earnest
women of the State can not fail to
be respected, and, In our judgement
to be effectual. They can accomp
lish more in day than all the TEN
perance advocates of Ohio could dc
in entire legislative session LIE
them by all means make the effort
and let us soon witness the incoming
cohorts.

THE FINANCE QUESTION.

Specific measures, of various
kinds, having reference, more ol
less direct to the question of finan.
ces, are being brought to the attcn-
tion of Congress, from time to time
Many of these are so obviously alb.
surd, that they do not necessitate
discussion. In this list we classify
the proposed reduction of the army.
There are not enough troops to ef-
fec.ually protect our frontiers. Ger
tainly it is not good economy to en-
courage Indian raids.

A Granger member of the Iowa
Legislature, who is also a church
elder happening the other day to
fall asleep during a debate was
awakened from his unreasonable
slumbers by vigorous poke in the
ribs, administered by brother
Granger. with the intimation that
the House was about to vote on the
question. Startled from his deep
sleep, and forgetful for a moment Of
his new position, he rubbed his eyes
and vociferated energetically =

Especial Dispatch to the New York Times
THE CENTENNIAL EX-
HIBITION.
PENNSYLVANIA READY TO SUB
SCRIBE THE WHOLE COST
VIEWS OF THE COM
MT1EE,

The long and important meetings
of the Executive Committee of the
Centennial Commission, appointed
by the United States government,
were held to day, and l haye the
highest and most authoritative as
surance that more real progress has
been made toward the furtherance
of the national celebration Of the
Declaration of Independence during
those two meetings than might be
imagined possible. l am authoriz
ed TO state this much, that the sub
scriptions promised from the State
of Pennsylvania alone amount to
over $3, 100000, and that to-day
some of the most prominent and in
fluential citizens of Pennsylvania
have voluntarily offered to assure the
Government Commission the rails
ing of S., 600. 900 more, or the whole
SO, 100000, if necessary, which
the buildings and exposition will
cost, rather than have the Centen-
nial Exhibition fall through from a
lack of tina. general sympathy and
co operation of the other States in
carrying out the objects for which
the commission was appointed. To
this patriotic proposal the members
of the committee replied that tho
thoi oughly appreciating the exalted
motives of those who had made it,
they had more faith in the general
patriotism of the country than might
appear to be warranted from state
ments circulated for interested and
selfish objects; that while conscious
that they had not too much time be-
fure them, they had, nevertheless,
all their building plans and every
other arrangement perfected, and
that no international exhibition yet
held had ever been so advanced in
its arrangements as the proposed
Centennial Exhibition, that nothing
was wanting but the cooperative
subscriptions oi the other States of
the Union to insure the successful
and honorable carrying out Of the
work intrusted to them by the ma
tional government, and that till they
saw that that cooperation would
not be forthcoming they could not
entertain the idea of raising all the
money in Pennsylvania. The COM
mittee also say that the commission
entertains the full belief that the
people Of the United States expect
Congress to give to the Centennial
Exhibition such national counte-
nance, pecuniary aid and encourage
ment, as will insure its success as a
great national celebration and in
ternational exhibition, and a com
plete national standing in the eyes
of the foreign governments and their
representatives.

The Island of Ceylon has had its

all the unmarried people to France.
