be must have been als) duly registered &C
cording to law An amendment, in par
hamentary Law, means simply change
OF the original proposition. 1t does
not convey the notion of improvement or
betterment at all; is frequently directly ad-
verse to the main purpose of the primary
measure, and intended to defeat and destroy
it. In this sense No. may be regarded as
an am ndment 10 the present constitution,
and in no other.
We are not prepared to say that any of the
so-called amendments ought TO be adopted.
To treat them all with impartial indifference
we will doubtless be within the line of cor
rect judgment IN saying that the Jtirst of these
self styled amendments is the 'cOrst; and il
there be any good ones In the batch they are
found in very bad company.
The present constitution provides that
''all elections shall be free and equap'-sec-
ton 1, article ?. The effect of the proposed
amendment Is to nullify this section and to
establish a very unjust and odious dis
elimination against both the freedom and
equality Of elections.
The so-called distinctions OF society are
well known, but much less felt under a re-
publican form OF government, than any
other, yet the hatred of castles and the hostil-
ity of classes are things not to be tempted,
nor to be iostered or encouraged. This
measure Will do that very thing, which ought
to be avoided. This proposition tends, indi-
rectIy, to create a property qualification for
the voter. Under this proposition q man
without fixed residence is deprived OF the
right to vote. There is large class of the
citizens of Indiana who under it will be vir-
tualIy disfranchIsed. Take. for example, the
farm hand, working in the country by the
day or month, who carries his home under his
hat, and his personal property in bundle
upon his back, bis job at the place of en-

EXHIBIT, said:
In ISi0-'sO salmon cost 20 times the price it
commanded when we ceased to be colonies of
Great Britain. The Connecticut river, which
had been one OF the most fertile fish streams
in the world, became almost depleted. Few,
however, understand the methods of replen-
ishing our waters from which the most valu-
able species of fish have been banished. This
result is due to a discovery made In Germany,
and afierward IN France, that fish be
propagated TO almost any extent by arti-
fetal means. This simple fact has
led to the creation of one of the
most important industries of modern times.
The nations of the world have derived meal
culable benefit from this discovery, and we
are now invited to JOIN In an international
comparison of the character of our fish and
the methods OF our fish culture. 1t is to this
science to which l have referred, aud which
this resolution is designed to encourage and
extend, that we owe the restocking of our
waters; to this we owe the fact that millions
OF young shad were matched at Hoyoke,
Mass and turned into the Connecticut river.
In view of the declaration that fish cul-
ture is lone of the most important indus
tries of modern times, ;" il is well enough to
introduce Mr.. Morton's figures by which he
seeks to substantiate his declaration. He
says:
The following are a few figures showing the
comparative production and consumption OF

SENATOR BAgARD ON HIS SPEECH OF

~ Am i'm Favor of This Country Keeping

Washington Dispatch TO the Philadelphia
Record.
The attempt of the enemies of Senator
Bayard to make political capital against him
by publishing the peace speech which be
made in 1861, and by accusing HIM of hav-
iDg been disloyal TO the Union, has fallen
very fiat here. The senator's steadfast and
answering devotion to the Union is so well
known by all who have any acquaintance
whatever with him that the effort to be-
smirch him is rated at its true value as a
political trick. The only interest which at
taches TO il arises from the very general be-
lief which exists here that Mr.. Tilden was
the instigator of this attack on Mr.. Bsyard.
Senator Bayard himself is not troubled by
the attack. In conversation with your cor
respondent tonight on the subject, and

intended to make any reply to the
charges which have been published, he said:

Although we have no special candidate for
the presidency, the late efforts of leading
journals to advance the interests of different
aspirsnts has convinced us that none OF
those men are the most available as Demo
cratic standard-bearers In the presidential
race which we are just entering. 1t is true
they are all able and sound statesmen, but
many of them are not available. They are
not available because they could not awaken
that enthusiastic following which the candi-
date TO be successful ought to awaken. Be-
sides some of them are too tenacious OF
questions which are more directly
local in application. This is the
case with the financial question. In certain
sections Of the country certain theories are
regarded the only sound ones for successful
financial policy; while in others those theo-
ries very obnoxious 10 a large following
of the Democratic faith. There are two ex-
IRENE theories which may be regarded rather
more local than national in their appli-
cation. Neither can be made successful as
national creed. A half way position is the
best That can be best attained by rele-
eating it and the tariff question to the
congressional districts for adjust
ment When that. is done. greater
care will be observed by conventions in
naming candidates, and in our opinion
better, and more permanent solution OF the
possible otherwise. 1t is because of the
peculiar views OF those different presidential
aspirants that their friends have been unable
to awaken a spirit OF enthusiasm for them.
So it will be necessary to take representa-
tive man from some central point who will
be able to hsrmonizs those conflicting
opinions In casting about for such a man
we are led to believe that Thomas A. Hen
drcks Is the man above all others.
The surroundings are very propi-
tious for his friends to advance his
name to the front, and make a bold, vigor-
Gus fight for him. He could carry the South,
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indi-
ana, and several other Western States. His
nomination can be secured II his friends will
enter the fight earnestly and vigorously.
The great body of the Democratic voting
citizens prefer him to any other candidate
named; and II his friends will face politi-
clans who, for sinister motives, are attempt
Ing to advance the cause of others, and
make bold, honorable and manly fight for
him, he will be the next president.

The opposition manifested TO General Fitz
John Porter by certain Republicans of the
Logan snd Garfield type is undoubtedly the
meanest exhibition OF partisan malice, and
OF beastly nature, to be found on record
anywhere in the civilized world. Ii is not
required that we should say that the first
courtmartial that tried General Porter was
organized 10 convict and TO commit murder
under military law. 1t Is not necessary to
say that the men who tried and convicted
Fitz John Porter thirsted for his blood, that
his dead body might screen from the gaze of
the world the errors of General Pope; but
there are those living who believe such was
the purpose and the heartless conduct of
set Of military and civil poltroons at this
juncture emphasizes the belief. But fortu-
nately for General Porter and for the good
name OF American soldiers, such men
as Generals Schofisld, Terry and
Getty, all Republicans, pronounced
him innocent. They were his
judges and their decision forever settles the
question. They all are preiudiced against

court, but the testimony as brought out on
