every white man, south of Mason and
Dixon's line, q murderer and traitor, either
in intent or fact, we are not left TO the
Fundamental condition." or the happy
example of Arkansas, TO determine the
motive for calling this new constitutional
convention. We ventured to say, the
other day, that there was vast room Tor
improvement IN all the so-cslled "recon-
struction constitutions" and now we are
informed, from republican sources in
North Carolina, that the present constitu-
ton of that state is cumbersome and
bungling' instrument, compounded from
mixtures of the constitutions of several
northern states, difficult of legal construc-
ton, and inconsistent with ITSELF" This
being so, is it g matter of wonder, cause
of fear, that the legislature and the people
desire 10 "simplify and harmonic" its pro-
visions Where is the ground of fear that
its object is to "revolutionize the state for
the democrats p Is it to be found in the
oath required to be taken by delegates,
to the convention, before entering upon
the work of revision? Point out the dam
ger in the oath, which is thus summarized /:
Each delegate must take an oath that che
will not vote to incorporate in the consti-
tuition any clause imparing the operation
of the thirteenth, foutcenth or fifteenth
amendments to the federal constitution,
nor the reconstruction acts, nor any pro
vision looking to payment for emancipatet
slaves, nor in any way recognizing tht
rebel debt. nor abridging the term of Office
of any of the present officers of the state.
With the present republican governor ant
the other "oflicers of the state" retained il
power until January 1877, with the RICH
of suffrage to remain unimpaired, the re
construction acts to be respected, and Mt
attempt TO be made to secure payment TO
their late slaves OF Of the rebel debts, cal
there be much of revolution? Thus doe
the idea Of danger vanish, thus do th
mountains become mole-bills, thus doe
the fear of political success for the dc
mocracy transform itself into hope for tn

Governor Kellogg has summoned the
legislature of Louisiana to assemble in ex-
ira session, on Wednesday, April 14th, os-
tensbly to carry out the adjustment pro-
posed by the so called Wheeler compro-
mise. The subjects of legislation are lin
tied by the call to six, among which are
Adjustment of political difficulties
revenues of the state, and modes of col
lection and disbursements amendment
of the funding bill" ''the financial con-
dition and government of New Orleans" and
'relef of the commerce of New Orleans. y
Very comprehensive surely, and embrac-
ing nearly every conceivable topic OF legis-
lation. The "adiustment of political diff

THE RUTLAND DAILY GLOBE SATURDAY MORNING.


George johnson, alias Pemberton, the
East Boston murderer, was captured on
Salem street, Boston, about 2 o'clock,
Thursday afternoon, by Officers Spear and
Haley, who also captured Wagner, the
isles of Shoals murderer, and was posi-
lively identified. The officers who effected
the capture struck the trail about III
o'clock, Thursday, and followed upon 1t
until they found him. Great credit is due
to the police and detectives of Boston for
their part in the search for the murderer;
every clew has been carefully followed up,
and the entire force have been indefatga-
bic In their exertions. Witnesses will not
be wanting to identify the criminal, as,
besides Robert Laughln, to whom he sold
the rings of the murdered woman at Salem,
there Is man who saw him enter the
house on the afternoon of the murder, and
boy who met him rs he came out, and
who says that he can positively identity
him. Mrs Bingham, the murdered woman,
was the widow of Samuel Bingham, son OF
Rev. Joel S. Bingham, formerly well
known Vermont clergyman, who was
pastor of the Second Congregational
church at westHeld upon the secession Of
its members from DR.. Davis's church, and
who was quite prominent in the revival OF
1857 in that town.

Boiler Explosions i'm Eng land

The Pail Mall Gasette says ''The list of
persons killed by accident in 1874 is very
heavy, and under one head alone, namely,
that of boiler explosions, the figures are
startling. Mr.. Il. b. Martep, C.. H., chief
engineer to the Midland steam boiler in
spection and assurance company, In his an
nual report for 1874, says that during the
year records were obtained of 76 boiler ex-
plosons, causing the deaths of II and the
injury of 1893 persons. The records cannot
be presumed to contain all the explosions
in the United Kingdom, as many are not
heard of beyond their own neighborhood.
OF the 275 persons killed or injured ten
were owners, masters or managers, 32
were engine men or stokers, 1873 employed
at works. about 20 of whom were women
and about fifty bystanders, some dozen of
whom were women and children. There
were inquests or inquiries in the 40 fatal
cases and five being in Scotland, the re-
suit was not made public. In nearly all
the other cases the verdict was accidental
death, and sometimes blame was attributed
to those responsible, in one case amounting
to manslaughter, The explosions hap
pened-10 at mills of various kinds, IA at
iron works, and ID at mines and collieries,
with the result that "a persons were killed
and 1850 injured. The other explosions are
ranged under the several heads of chem
ical, domestic, marine, builders, railway,
clay, brewery, farm and mo information "

The supreme court u! the United States
have decided that lobL visits cannot sue for
their services rendered in the lobby, and
that the cuutts will not enforce such con-
tracts, fol the reason that they are contrary
10 public policy, and founded in immoral
iiy. MOI u very surprising decision, but
very good law, but it don't amount to
much after all. ]. 'hbyists and their en-
ployers are generally aware of the immoral
nature Of these contracts, and are distru>t-
ful Of one another The lobbyist does not
believe in the maxim that ''thcre is honor
among thieves" and. therefore, keeps his
end of the rope in his own hand, by SO ar
ranging that he is sure of his fees without
being compelled TO court defeat in court
Of law. If the court would go a step fur
thcr, and hold that an employer might re-
cover back all sums paid for services in
the lobby, some good might be attained, for
man, dishonest enough TO attempt cor
rupily to control legislation, would not
have any delicate PERCEPTION of that kind
of honor which would preclude him, after
receiving the benefits of a lobbyists servi-
ces, from compelling him TO disgorge.

A Proposed Tax Oh OFFERS of Mar.
riaRe

The Pail Mall Gazette says sit is sur
prising that among the many schemes for
increasing the revenue in the least irksome
method to the community the imposition
of stamp duties on offers of marriage has
never been seriously considered There
can be little doubt that such an impost
would not only be cheerfully paid, but
would bring in considerable sum annual
ly to the exchequer. 1t would, moreover,
do more than anything else TO put an end
to those breach of promise cases which
give rise TO so much unseemly mirth and
desecrate some of the noblest feelings of
our imperfect nature If it were rendered
illegal to make q proposal or accept one
except by stamped document it would be
impossible for the most heartless triflcr to
get out Of his or her engagements on the
ground of mo serious intention. This
plan would, moreover, throw a spirit of
earnestness into social intercourse which is
sadly required. Unstamped professions of
admiration or affection would be looked
upon not only as hollow Irritation, but as
attempts to defraud the revenue, subjugat-
ing the gay deceiver TO a penalty, part of
which would go to the informer.

Poor /" Louisiana affairs dies bard.

ty, served with credit as major and lieu-
tenant-colonel in regiment OF Ohio yolun-
teers during the war of the rebellion, but
he is not yet a United States judge. He
owes his defeat, if being laid on the table
can, as it probably may, be called defeat,
to two causes. First, and chiefly, to the
opposition of Senator West, who pathcti-
cally told the senate that she had not a'sin.

upon any senator ''if he knew of friend
of his (West's) IN office to name him.

has inspired in senatorial minds, relative tc

He received favorable report from its jul

I've and defensive, between Senator Wes
and General Disgust" was too much fol
him. Judge Pardee must be queer stick

she can probably boast more compile,

any other living man. He is named by
President Grant and Endorsed by the Louis

Sherman, and by Senator Thurman as well
favored by the federal office-hulders ant
denounced by Messrs. Conkling and Lo

on each side of the question of his nomina
ton, we cannot say" The political mud

Mr. Bachelor was widower, about 80

lead the secluded life of single blesscdne.s,
so last summer, he commenced al indis-
criminatc slaughter among the widows.
The first victim of his smiles was a
Widow Kellogg, who soon succumbed TO
his arduous wooing and promised to him
her womans heart in all its entirety but
alas for human calculations after billing
and cooling for a time, this gay and festive
Lotharlo, became enamored of another lady
''brcvet" widow, by the name of Laura
Brown, nee Ordway, less ancient than his
first love, and again the siege commenced
the heart proving not of stone, soon re
posed in the safe repository of his faithful
~ breast. Then came the tug of war
how happy could he be with one if the
other dear charmer were away; he could
not marry both but which TO choose the
first had plenty of the solid attractions Of
life, the other had youth and beauty. Ihis
state of things could not long be endured
something must be done right speedily In
his dilemma, another gushing widow cross

all quivering and trembling to be n
