Constitutional Amendments Proposed.

Ihree amendments 10 the cOnstltu-
tion of the State were proposed by the
legislature at its late session, and are
to be submitted to the people as men
toned below. The first relates 10 the
disposition Of
PENAL FINES.
The present constitution, section IL,
article 13, provides: 1.-The legislature
shall also provide for the establishment
Of at least one library in each town
ship, and all fines assessed and collect
ed in the several counties and town
ships for any breach Of the penal laws
shall be exclusively applied to the sup.
port OF such Libraries. The proposed
amendment substitutes for this section
the following: "All fines assessed and
collected in the several counties and
townships for ang breach of the penal
laws shall be applied as the judgement
OF the legislature may direct" The
mandatory provision that the legisla-
ture shall provide for at least one Ii
brary in each township is impractical
BILE, especially as many OF the newer
townships are unable TO maintain a Ii
brary. As 10 penal fines, the amount
is so trihing in many towns that its
dedication to library purposes seems
little short OF a burlesque. This
amendment is to be submitted to the
people on the first Monday Of April,
1880.
SALARY OF THE GOVERNOR.
An amendment is proposed to sec
ton one OF article niue so as to fix the
salary of the Governor at $1,000. By
the present constitution it is 81 600. A
number of the subordinates in the
State offices receive more than this.
The entire section fixing the salaries of
the several State officers and judges is
Of necessity repeated in the joint reso-
luton proposing the amendment, but
the salary of the Governor Is the only
one affected by it. The amendment
is 10 be voted on at the April election
IN 1880.
BRIDGE OR TUNNEL AT DETROIT.
An additional section is proposed TO
article ii, to stand as section 10 Of said
aricle, enabling the city OF Detroit, up
on such terms and conditions as the
Legislature may prescribe, TO aid in the
construction Of railroad bridge or
tunnel to an amount not exceeding one
per cent. Of the assessed value of the
taxable property Of the city. This
amendment is TO be submitted at the
November election in 1880.

The Meaning Of This Republican Vic.
tory.

The Democratic managers in this
State and in the whole country recog-
nize this Ohio election as q decisive
action in the Presidential campaign.
The Republicans also recognized that
this election was the turning point, and
would decide whether the government
of the Nation should pass under the
yoke of the Southern Confederacy, and
the public faith, finances, currency, and
all the settlement of the issues of the
war be put into the hands of their enc
mics, and the Republic be again placed
in jeopardy by an attempt to seize the
Presidency by a revolutionary act, or,
at the best, the country torn with dis
puted election of President; or whether
the Republic should be rescued from
all these perils, and given assurance
of keeping in its course of recov.
cry and prosperity and public security.
The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1879-10-23

The bearing of this election being
thus conceded by the Democratic party,
which thereupon has put forth its ut
most efforts, and being thus recognized
by Republicans, we shall not abate
anything from its importance now that
it has resulted in a decisive Republican
victory. Upon these mutual admis-
sions we are warranted in regarding it
as an event of the highest importance
in the politics and prosperity of the
country. It is an event which will
give confidence to Republicans every
where, and which we believe that even
the men of business, and property, and
steady ind ustry in the Democratic party,
although bound by the fierce despotism
of their party, must think better for the
country. ~
We suppose that there is no man,
either Republican or Democrat, who
thinks this Republican revival merely
spasmodic, and that there is any ikeli-
hood of its falling back. We suppose
that both parties perceive that this is q
popular rising; that it is evidence of
what is going on all over the North,
and are convinced that the tide will
sweep on. We suppose that in both
sections it will be recognized that this
result in Ohio is proof of a popular
tide which settles the question of the
election of President. This will be ac-
cepted as q sign of rising of the peo-
pie, which, in spite of the baleful influ-
ence of a selfish resolve to make the
election of Governor of New York a
personal affair. will carry that State for
Republican principles, even if it shall
not carry Indiana.
With New York carried by the Re-
publicans, where can a Democratic can
didate look in the North for the forty
seven votes required in addition to the
solid South to elect q PRESIDENT This
will save the republic from the danger
of a disputed election of President-the
dispute raised by the body which has
usurped the power to revise the cleo
tions of State electors. This will show
to the Confederate States the futility of
supposing that Confederate politics can
subdue the Northern people. This is
the true way to bring peace to the
South. ALI Democratic gains in the
North cause a revival of barbarism in
the South. We believe that this victory
will have an important effect in restor-
ing respect for law in the South, and
that it will promote the era of business
prosperity, by giving general conf
dence in the future. Ga

A Glorious Triumph.

Ohio sends greeting to her sister
States this morning with one of the
most magnificent Republican victories
won in the Buckeye State since the
memorable triumph over Vallandigham
in 1868. The Republicans have had to
contend with everything that money, po-
litical intrigue and unscrupulousness
could bring against them. The Democ-
racy realized fully the importance of the
struggle, and hesitated at nothing in
their determination to win it. 1t was q
high stake for which they were play
ing, and they played q desperate game.
They have lost; lost everything. The
victory is complete. The Republican
State ticket is elected by majorities
ranging somewhere between twenty
thousand and twenty-five thousand, and
later returns may perhaps carry the
figures still higher. The dispatches as
they come in bring one almost unvary-
ing tale of Republican gains. The
Republican gain over the vote of 1875
is apparently from fifteen to twenty
thousand. and over the vote for Gov
ernor in 1877, of not less than
forty-five thousand. Nor is that all,
or the best of yesterdays work.
The Legislature. which was overwhelm.
ingly Democratic, will now be solidly
Republican. Cuyahoga County sends
once more an unbroken Republican
delegation to Columbus, and Hamilton
County responds by sending up a full
Republican delegation, including 8
colored Representative. Other coun.
ties in the State upon which the Demo.
Gratis counted with certainty have dis.
appointed them in the same way.
As the matter stands now there seems
to be nothing wanting to the Republic
an triumph. Ohio takes her old proud
position in the front rank of Republic.
an States. She will replace Thurman
in the United States Senate by a Repub.
lican true and tried and of National
fame. She gives assurance that in 1886
she will do her part in electing a Re
publican President and supporting him
with a Republican Congress. She
stands to-day, her hands clasped ir
cordial greeting with those of Maine
and California, exchanging congratula

Two Monster Steel Cannons...COmpari
son Between English and Ger.
-s man Guns.

The renewed experimental firing
with the English eighty-ton gun on the
11th inst. following closely upon the
artillery exhibition at Meppen, affords
a favorable opportunity for comparing
the performances of the heaviest gun
as yet manufactured at Woolwich with
those of the most powerful piece of
ordnance up to the present time con-
structed at Essen, Germany. The En-
glish gun is the eighty-ton gun, which,
as its name indicates, weighs eighty
tons, and which throws a projectile
weighing 1,760 pounds; and the Ger
man gun is the so-called forty-centi-
metre gun (the diameter of its bore be-
ing forty centimetres, or 1876 inches),
which weighs seventy tons (or, more
exactly, seventy tons fourteen cwt.
and which at the recent trials at Mep-
pen threw q projectile weighing 1,709
pounds, or ffty-one pounds less than
that of its English rival. The full
charge, again, Of the eighty-ton gun is
AS pounds of powder; while that fired
in the eforty-centimetre gun at Meppen
consisted of 451 pounds. The calibre
of the two guns is also almost the same;
that of the German gun being, as
stated above, 1876 inches, that OF the
English sixteen inches. At Meppen,
finally. an average muzzle velocity Of
1,648 feet per second was obtained,
while at Woolwich velocity of 1,657
feet per second was given by the eighty
ton gun to its projectile. Practically,
therefore, the power of the two guns
may be regarded as equal; but the
Krupp piece has the advantage of be-
ing nearly ten tons lighter. There is,
however, good reason to believe that
guns can be manufactured on the Wool
wich system which, weight for weight,
shall be quite as powerful as those COR
structed by Herr Krupp. The increased
velocity obtained from the eighty-ton
gun was gained by enlarging the cham
ber Of the piece, thereby obtaining
space for the more effectual consump-
ton Of; the slow powder of which the
charge employed consisted; and it is
calculated that by the further develop
ment of this principle of chambering,
and by also increasing the length OF the
bore to allow a longer time for the gas
generated by the combustion OF the
charge to take effect upon the projectile
before the latter leaves the muzzle,
still better results will be Obtained

AN evening newspaper of San Fran

mining stock market west of the Rocky
Mountains. Six of its columns are
filed with closely-printed lists of shares
in various mining companies on which
assessments are overdue, and which are
advertised to be sold as directed by law
because their owners refuse or are un-
able to make further payments on
them. On some of the stock the assess
ments are as low as two cents share,
and on others as high as 50. Nearly
1901 delinquent shares were adver-
tised in a recent number of the news
