Noise is nOs Strength.
New York SUM-

When Henry Clay was running
for President it was notoriously
the fact that in any vote taken in
steamboat or stage coach, he
was almost certain to have ma
jority. On all the great thorough
fares of travel Clay was always
ahead. The talk in places of public
resort was largely in his favor.
People who considered themselves
better than other folks were pretty
generally for him. Persons who
sought to bolster up their doubt
ful responsibility by being on the
respectable side in politics, were
for him. 1t seemed the height of
folly to doubt that Mr.. Clay would
be elected. But when it came to
the actual election everything was
changed. The noise had been for
Clay; the votes were for jackson.
The amount of clamor raised for
d candidate is no test of his
strength. 4 man cannot be elect
ed by noise; he must command the
votes. In little while we shall
hear people shouting themselves
hoarse. for Grant. BY many his
election, as well as his nomination,
is already regarded as foregone
conclusion, whereas, even his nom
nation is far from being a fixed
fact yet. Aud the election for Gen.
Grant for third term would
speedily be put among the extreme
improbabilities if the Democracy
would unite on a patriotic platform
and n good candidate, If the noise
raised for Gen. Grant shall teach
them wisdom, i. will have produced
one beneficial effect.

The Illinois Legislature has
adopted a very sensible compulsory
aducation bin. 1t compels all chill
dren to attend school at least
twelve weeks during the year.
Children so attentive are given q
certificate. No child without this
certificate can be employed at any
work or in any business. It is
thought that a provision like this
will persuade parents and guar
dians to see that their children
and wards attend school, SINCE
they can then put them to work
and pocket their pay. 20 -

Having heard that Egyptian
mummies could be divided into
two classes, one embracing those
bodies which have been embalmed
intact, and the other including
those bodies which has been evis-
cerated, DR.. Gaulselback, Swed-
ish chemist of repute and professor
in the University of Upssl. has
formed the opinion that the mum
mics of the first class are not real
ly dead, but are only in . condi-
ton of suspended animation:
though, unfortunately for histo-
rians, the secret of bringing them
again to life has been lost. In
support to this he addnces the re-
suits of his own researches and
experiments, one of which consists
in submitting snake to q process.
the details of which are of course
kept secret, which petrihes it. In
this condition it has been laid aside
for year or two at time, and 10
then restored to life by some
equally mysterious vivifying pro-
cess. This has now teen going on
about fifteen years, and the snake
does not seem to dislike il. DR..
Gaulselbach is said to have applied
to the Swedish government for
leave to experiment on q con-
demned criminal, the understand
ing being if the experiment be
successful the criminal shall re-
ceive pardon, because Of the SER
vice thus rendered to science, and,
possibly. to humanity. iQ5 sob

provide for the general defense;
a government that will thwart the
tyranny of majorities and prevent
hasty, Needless and passionate
public sentiment from assuming
the shape of oppressive laws; .
government limited in its power
to tax the people, but authorized
to prevent the abuse of aggregated
capital; a government that will
maintain the right of local self
rule, secure the freedom and pm
rity of the electoral of franchise,
maintain the barriers which sepa
rate the several departments, up
hold free speech and free press,
and forbid the imposition Of bur-
dens on posterity."
These are wise and brave words,
and they comprehend all that a
constitutional convention can be
called upon to perform. These
views and ipjunctions Gov. Wilt
snstains by apt reference to the
text of the original constitutions OF
the old commemorative, all OF
which 90 to impress the dignity
of the States and the original,
full and indefeasible power and
right of self-government" inherent
in the people. Just at this partic-
ular time these utterances have an
exceptional value. just at this
time Louisiana is called upon to
assert the right Of the States sepa-
rately insisted npon, as an abso-
lutte condition precedent to the
ratification of the Federal consti-
tuition, to wit: The forma. ac-
acknowledgement Of the unrestricted
power of the States to adjust and
settle their own debts, untrammel-
I'd and uncontrolled by extraneous
judicial power Gov. Witt as
serted this power in his address.
Again one of the greatest griev-
ance We are confronted with. is
the persistent and unremittins ag-
gressiOns. of the Federal courts.
These he proposes to provide
against by limitations On the legis-
lative rs well as by the assertion of
the sovereignty Of the States and of
the people. 10 assert the right
of the states to confer the electo-
raj franchise, to limit it and to
control its exercise, is one of the
first duties of the convention, and
it is scarcely less imperative duty
to emancipate the State by we'll
considered limitations on the leg
islative power from the iurisdic-
ton and judicial coercion of the
Federal courts. Gov. Wiltz points
out all these duties in his address.
Take it all in all, his address was
an admirable one, entirely worthy
of the occasion and of the distin-
guished gentleman who delivered
it. We congratulate the conven-
ton on the selection it has made
a presiding officer.
