On the outside ofthis weeks pa
per we submit the report of the Con
Con. Committee appointed to point
out the difference between the new
and the old instruments. The Con
Con. evidently believed the work Of
its hands somewhat ambiguous and
needed explanation but we do not
understand that the people in vot-
ing pro or con on the new constitu-
ton necessarily adopt the Commit
tees report, or that it in any way be-
comes an authoritative exposition OF
the instrument. We give it out OF
courtesy, advising the people, how
ever, to study the document itself so
as to be able intelligently to vote up
on it. AS a whole we think it an
improvement on the old, but would
have respected the members of that
august body more had they been q
little more honest in submitting the
license or no license proposition. In
order to secure the least of two evils
many will be compelled to vote for
license who would otherwise vote
against it. In the one case there is
an imperative obligation imposed
upon the Legislature to restrict and
provide against the evils arising
from the sale of liquors while in the
other the matter is left to the Leg
i5lative judgment, and it may or may
not enact such restrictive measures.
Had the "ne license" clause been
worded otherwise the same as the
license clause, there is little doubt
but it would have been carried; but
the license clause is most likely to
be adopted, as it will receive the
support of those who desire strin-
gent laws enforced against the pro-
moters Of the evils arising from the
sale of ardent spirits.

Foster on the sanborn JOB:

Speaking of the recent able effort
of the representative from this Dis
trict, the Toledo Commercial says:
"The full text of the speech of Hon.
Charles Foster, on the Sanborn con-
tracts, in the House,w necessary to
a correct understanding of the mer-
its of that effort, and of the long, pa
tient and efectual work of that gen
uemen and his associate committee
men. 1t fills over IA pages of the
ordinary pamphlet size, and for lerse-
ness of language, directness of pur-
pose and effectiveness in facts and
argument, has not been excelled by
any speech of the session. Through
out it shows the mind of the straight
forward, frank and fearless business
man-without attempt at embellish-
ment or other effect, except what
might result from a plain presenta-
tion of the case. 1t is proper here
to state, that to Mr. Foster more than
to any other man, is the country in
debted for the inception and effective
prosecution Of the investigation of
the Sanborn scandal-an undertake
ing which, at the outset, was certain
to meet the full measure of all the
peculiar resources of Ben Butler, the
chief friend and patron of Sanborn.
In the natural course of things, it
might have been expected, that so
formidable job would have fallen
to the hands of some of the older
members, long practiced in such
work, rather than to those of man
of purely business habits, and young
both in years and legislative expert
ence; but so it was not to be,and it is
well that it was not. A more thor
oUgh job Of the kind has never been
done in COngTess-one that reflects
much credit upon the principal actor
and will result in material benefit to
the country.
Mr. Foster sets out by saying that
the system of spies and informers
embraced in the internal revenue
plan, is distasteful to the people and
liable to gross abuse, and should be
abolished. An attempt was made to
do away with the system in 1872, in
a general way, but monopoly in the |
same business was insidiously insti-
tuted, under which three persons
were accorded the sole right of that
kind. 1t was under this that San
born, Massachusetts man, well ac-
quainted with Boutwell, and Richard
son, and special friend of Butler, had
been known as professional 1obby-
ist" among the New England Legis-
lures. He had been in the employ
Of the Departments as Special Reve-
1ue Agent, from 1869 till june, 1873,
1t which time his first contract was
made for the collection of delinquent
taxes. His first job was the coIlec,
