4 Substitute for MOrtOn's RcsO-
IutiOns

WASUNGToS, ID. c., December 10
The concurrent resolutions which Senator
Mcdonald, of Indiana, will offer in the
Senate after the holiday recess, as sub
stitute for those recently submitted by
Senator Morton, of which he gave notice
to-day, have not yet been perfected, and
Therefore could lot be presented, The
following is IA rough draft OF them, con-
tanning the substance thereof, though
their phraseology may be changed some
what before their presentation to the
Senate.
Rcss,rcd Jy the Senate, tie House Of
Representatives. coucurr1ng, That the peo-
pleof the United States constitute nation
and are one people in manner only, and
to the extent provided for in the Federal
Constitution and amendments thereto.
Rcsoired That the united colonies de-
clared .and achieved their independence,
and the Federal Constitution was formed
and adopted by several States formally
comprising the Contedcracy, and called
the United States of America. The chic!
purpose of which was to form a more per.
feet Union, establish justice insure
domestic tranquility and provide
for the common defense and
powers not delegated by 1t to
the United States, nor prohibited by it
to the States, were reserved to the States
respectively and to the people.
Resoircd, That as the States were, at
the time of the formation and adoption of
Al. L.
free and Independent, except in
50 tar only rs such sovereignty had been
especially delegated to the Congress by
the articles OF confederation, the rights
reserved to the States and to the people
in the frrmatioG of the federal govern
ment were sovereign rights which
can not be impaired without uSufpa-
ton, and tine only safe rule by
which to administer the federal govern
ment with respect to the rights OF State
aud people is the strict construction of
the federal constitution, and amendments
thereto, and the assumption Of no doubt
ful powers
Rcy.'rcd, That in the formation of the
federal government it is clear the design
WAS TO leave each State and people there
of sovereign, as to ali matters of local or
domestic concern, and to confer upon
the Federal Government sovereign
power as to such matters as might effect
the general welfare of all the States or as
might be necessary 10 secure domestic
tranquility, which powers are defined in
the Federal Constitution and its amend
ment. The people of the United States,
therefore, from the nature and character
of their governments, both State and Ma
tional, aud from their relation to each,
are not National unity in the ordinary
sense of that term.
ReSoircd, That 1t being the design to
make the government formed under the
federal constitution perpetual, the right
of any State or any number of States to
secede from the Union was not reserved; ;
so far as the right has been claimed to
exist. it should be deemed forever settled
against it by the results of the late civil
war.

Necessity of InSuring t~e state
Buildings.
WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA,
December 10th, 1875.

December Goth, 1875.
Editors OF the Register.
We beg leave, through your columns
20 call the attention of the Legislature to
the necessity of approprlatinga sufficient
amount of money To- insure all our public
institutions. 1t is matter of no little
importance to the State in her present
financial condition. Older and wealthier
S,stes than our, keep all Of their public
buildings and even their bridges insured.
We have Just learned that the peniten
,ary building at Moundsvillc, which
has cost the State nearly half p million Of
dollars, came near being destroyed by fire
.1s: night Some time ago the Insane
N,ylum, at Weston. was struck
by lightning, and came near being dcS.
troycd. Since that time there have been
two fires IN that institution. which have
already cost ~" State over onc-hslf mil
lion dollars. Tho tl-,, WAS the burning
Of the gus works, and within the mst ,iA
weeks the cugir" huu,r, which Was total.
Is destroyed, cntaiIing a great loss to the
State. The directors of these Institutions
have been ccnsarcd over and over again
tr not having the State protected
against fire, by proper insurance, while
-'no Of them have used every effort To-
e. An appropriation for tins purpose.
TIE State OF Ohio has lost by fire
an .u,snr asylum. built out Of
me same material, and Just
as secure "a, the one at Weston. She lost
enc at Athens, one at Columbus and an
''ner at Newburr, within the list five
lca'S. We all know that the State of
Nc', Virginia i not able at this time TO
''.i.G another asylum or pcnitentiarv,
costing At least 500 600, while we well
SHOW she ls able to pay oli aud reliable
Insurance corporations with their Dt;k
toms of assets 50 90 To insure 81 600 rer
wear. There is greater danger of the
Insane Asylum, with its 400 lunatics
burning than the Pcnitentiarv. vet
they should both be- insured
Dr.. Camden, the Superintendent Of
The Asyium, wrote To party in
his city last week that there was great
anger Of fire from the immense bakery.
'.atcd 1.-THE centre of the basement of
Nat building. Ii any member of the
legislature thinks that buildings con-
,irueted of stone and brick, and crowned
win siat" or TN can not burn. we re-
spe2Uuily refer them to the statistics of
our heiShh"rlng States on this subject.
hry overlook the fact that the interior

The Cure for Gossip.

What is the cure for gossip? Simply,
culture There is a great deal of gossip
that has no malignity in it, GoOd-natur-
ed people talk about their neighborS be-
cause, and only because, they have moth
ing else to talk about. AS We write, there
comes to US the picture of a family OF
Young ladies. We have seen them at
home, we have met them in galleries Of
art, we have caught glimpses of them
going from bookstore, or library, with
fresh volume in their hands. When
we meet them, they are full OF what they
have seen and read. They are brimlGing
with questions. One topic OF conversation
is dropped only to give place to another, IN
which they are Interested. We nave
left them, after delightful hour, stlmu-
lated and refreshed; and during the
whole hour not neighbors garment
was soiled by SO much as u touch. They
had something to talk about. They
knew something, and wanted to know
more. They could listen as well rs they
could talk. To speak freely of neigh
bor's doings and belongings would have
seemed an impertinence to them, ard, OF
| course, an Improperly. lhey hau II"
temptation to gossip, because tie doinss
of their ueighbors formed subject very
much less interesting than those which
grew out of their knowledge and their
! culture.
And this tells the whole story. The
confirmed gossip is always either mali
cous or ignorant. The one variety needs
a change OF heart and the other Il change
of pasture. Gossip is always personal
confession either of malice or imbecility
and the young should not only shun IT,.
but by the most thorough culture re-
! lieve themselves from all temptation TO
indulge in it. Ii Is low, frivolous, and
too often dirty business, There are
country neighborhoods i'll whicn it RACES
| like u pest. Churches are split in pieces
BY it. Neighbors are made enemies by
| il for life. In many persons it degencr
ates into chronic disease, which Is prac-
tically incurable. Let the young cure it
while they may-Dr. j. &. HoliGHd;

ECLECTIC MAGAzISE.-As this is the
time when readers are making up their
minds what periodicals tosubscrlbe for the
coming wear, few words as to the spe-
cial merits of the Eclectic will, perhaps.
prove useful. The Eclectic is pre-emi-
nently the magazine for cultivated
family. where Improvement Is reCogniz-
ed as one of the objects of reading, and
the subscriber may go to its pages with the
certainty that he will be confronted with
nothing of a trivial character, or OF mere
transient interest, and that he will find
something adapted to the tastes of every
member of the family circle. Its scen-
titic papers, literary and social essays,
criticism, reviews, and summaries of dis
cussion, render it well nigh indlspensa-
ble to whosoever would keep up with
the Intellectual activity of the time;
while its serials and short stories, tales,
biographical sketches, poems, and nara
tives of adventure and discovery render
it attractive to those who seek amusement
as well as profit in the pages of their
monthly visitor. In fact, the Eclectic
NAV be said to provide exactly that disid.
eratum of so many houscholds-a maya.
zine which is instructive without being
duh, and entertaining without being
trivial.
OF the literary attractions of the Jan
uary number, the most striking are: a
SYNOPSIS of the curiously fascinating
memoirs of st Simon;" an article by
Prot. Tyndal on "Materialsm and its
Opponents;' an excellent paper by Col.
Chesney on Sherman and Johnston;"
Cations suggestive paper on the "His-
tory of Twins" an admirable bIographi-
cal article on the 1.-TWO Danes Thor
valdsen and Andersen" an entertaining
treatise on "Automatic Chess and Card
PLAYING another description of The
Dutch and their Dead Cities collec-
tion of O'Conneliiana;' brief paper
ON the natural history Of the Arctic
Regions" and another giving the Recent
History of thc Pitcairn Islanders Be
sides these. there is some good poetry,
stories bv Mrs. Alexander, author of The
Wooing Ot;" and Mrs. &. G. Fraser
Tyler; and the usual well filled editor
ial departments. Surely it Is an exact
ing taste that will not find something
here to satisfy it.
