And as for Christmas-well, igura-

the cabin of q vessel that lies, icebound
under perpetual moonlight; "Christmas

The "Tramp' Convention Resolu-
tiOnS.

The Convention which assembled at
Columbus on the Sth insr., to consider
the tramp" question and devise means
for the abatement of the evil. was pretty
fairly attended by delegates from many
of the cities and towns in the State.
Following are the resolutions adopted
by the Convention:
l. A large class of persons exist in
Ohio known as professional tramps, or
vagrants-persons who have no fixed
place Of residence. employment, and
who seek TO obtain livelihood by prey
ing upon community.
2. These tramps are a great and
growing evil in the State, which evil
can only be eradicated by furnishing
employment to all vagrants in such
manner that their labor may be remun-
erative.
8. To this end we recommend the es-
tablishment of Work-houses in all cities
and villages which are sufficiently large
to maintain the same, and that addition
al legislation be asked for, by which any
district composed of one or more town
ships may be authorized to erect such
houses, or to form chain gang, and
work them on the same.
4. The authority be conferred by law
upon all Magistrates TO arrest and try
all vagrants, and. upon conviction, to
commit them to the proper Work houses
5. These Work-houses need not be
exclusively for vagrants, but persons
convicted of minor offenses may be con-
fined therein.
6. This system of Work houses, in
order to be effective, must extend over
the entire State.
z. The furnishing of transports tion
to tramps from one place to another is
disapproved of.
8. Upon the establishment Of Work
houses all relief by individuals should
be refused.
9. The proper authorities should be
authorized to employ persons sent to the
Work-house on the public highways, or
other places outside the Work house

Shooting ARRAY Fatal tO Both Par

special dispatch to the Courier Journal,
from Owensboro, Kentucky, says a
shooting affray occurred there at 5
O'Clock, to-day, between George w.
Murphy and a butcher named VIM.
Me.hfvrr. Four Shots were fred ,'.k~ee
by McAleer and one by Murphy. Nc
Aleer's last shot struck Murphy above
the eye, and killed him instantly. Muir
phys shot struck McAleer in the left
breast, near the nipple, and caused
death in about ten minutes. The cause
of the difficulty was a dispute about a
claim by McAleer of debt of two dol
lars. Murphy had caused the arrested
of McAleer about one month since. In
return McAleer published Murphy as
dead beat.

Referring to Mr.. Blaine's proposed
amendment to the Federal Constitution,
the Cincinnati Commercial says:
The Constitution forbids Congress to
make any law respecting an establish
ment of religion, or to prohibn the free
exercise thereof It also makes it obli-
gaiorY upon Congress TO guarantee to
every State a republican form of gov
eminent" It also provides that the
Constitution, and the laws made in ac-
cordance with its provisions. shall I've the
supreme law of the land. These provis-
ions have hitherto been thought sufficient
to prevent al attempt on the part of any
State TO create an established or State
religion. Since such church establish
ment could only exist, like the public
schools, rs State institution, and derive
its support from the revenues Of the
State, and from the proceeds of taxes
imposed upon all the citizens, it would
directly conflict with the provisions OF
the Constitution, and violate rights
which il ia declared must be unabridged.
Were any State to attempt to build up a
Church establishment by legislation. all
acts to that end wonld be declared void
in the Courts to which the issue would
Ue taken.
Mr.. Blaine's amendment does not add
to the force of the existing provisions
though il is more direct and mandatory
We repeat, that the existing provisions
of the Constitution are sufficient to pro.
tect the citizens of every State from any
attempt on the part of the Legislature to
unite Church and State by the recogni.
tion and maintenance of any form of re.
l:gien as a State institution. We are
perfectly willing, SO far as that danger il
concerned, to trust the Constitution as il
is, though we have no objection to urge
against the first clause Of Mr. Blaine's
amendment, further than that it is super
| auous.

A Carpet-Bag with an Appetite.

A recent second-class passenger on the
Union Pacific Railroad, who was sns-
picious of some of his sfellow-traveller=,
took into one of the restaurants ON the
road a huge earpet-bag about half filled
with his effects, and placed it in the
chair beside him while he ate. Having
finished and asked tine price of his meal
he was charged 50 90, one for himself
and the other for the carpet-bag,' which
the restaurateur remarked, had occupied
a seat at the table and must pay for the
privilege "Bnt," reasoned the passenger
sit didn't eat anything, and, as there
were plenty of other seats for all who
wished meal, didn't inconvenience
any ybody" "Can't help that" said the
host; "seats at this table are a dollar
apiece, and if your bag occupied one il
must pay" Seemingly convinced by
this logsc. the passenger handed out the
extra dollar. Then he walked mp to the
carpet-bag and apostrophized it thus:
"Carpet-bagl" said he, you've been
mighty patient while I've been eating.
and too busy to attend to You, and now
you shall have all yon want" So say
ing, he unlocked the bag displaying a
yawning emptiness which the contents of
half bushel measure would scarcely
6ll-and began heaping into it: all that
the table contained. the other passengers
approaching the situation. joining to as
sist him, till the carpet-bag had enjoyed
such "good square meal" that it was
borne away with difficulty by its owne r,
who feasted upon its contents for the rest
of the trip to his great com FORT and sat

Yesterday the news was flashed over
the country that the Minister Plenipot-
entiary of Guatemala, Senior Vincente
Dardon, had been robbed, in New York,
of a trunk containing fifteen million
dollars worth of bonds and other valua-
bles-that the loss off the bonds was ire
parable, and that His Excellency had
tainted, &C., &c. Now it appears that
the reporter was guilty of slight mac
cnrary, inasmuch as the trunk stolen
from the Senior did not contain fifteen
million dollars in bonds or five million
dollars in bonds, or even FIVE hundred
dollars in bonds-in fact il contained no
bonds at all-only the Sunday clothes
dirty shirts of the Minister Plsnipo. and
his credentials on sheepskin, and instead
