ton OF this hypcrborean fragment OF
the American Union. Not until the
thermometer falls about fifty degrees
below zero does the Maine man feel
himself. With only ten inches of
snow on the ground, instead of three
feet, the average Republicans system
was too relaxed to nerve itself for q
physical contest, andhc was compelled
to content himself with billingsgate
and to chew soap to produce the
requisite foaming at tho mouth. But
the cold snap on Monday hid the mer.
curry out Of sight, brought about ten
1eet OF snow, more or less, and effected
general toning up Of the system. On
Tuesday morning the sun was duly
prlzed ont of the ice that had frozen
1t in on Monday night, and this being
: accomplished, Governor Davis bctook
himself to the next matter in hand,
TO wit, the freezing out Of tho Fusion
Legislature. First, the Capital Guards,
1orty-five strong, were called out as q
sort OF gentle persuadcr to the Fusion
lists to go home. But the Fusionists
contnmaciously held the fort. Then
the Richards Light Infantry, forty-onc
men, and the Auburn Light Infantry,
forty men, marched through the
streets to the time of the "Rollickinp
Rams," and Haunted their banners full
IN tho faces Of the Rebels, but also
without effect. AS last resort the
the Androscoggin Light Artillery were
summoned to repair to the capital
armed with the only Gatling gun that
the State calls its own. Whctlcr the
cold snap, following the mild spell
or whether the comforting assurance
that tho Fusionists didn't scare worth
cent at the sight Of the infantry
produced the effect is not known, but
1t is melancholy fact that when tho
long roll Of the Androscoggin Artiller,
was beat, only ton of its members
rallied round the flag, all tho res
oeing confined in their little bed,
with rheumatism and influenza. Tho
heroic ten, however, nothing dauntcd

THE ECONFEDERATEC CONSTITUTION.

some PROVISIONS that Arc net to DO Found
In tho Constitution ofthe "Nation."
Philadelphia Tlmcs.)
Very little attention has been paid
by historians to the civil history Of the
short-livcd Confederate Government
An interesting contribution in this di-
rcction is made in the current number
Of the Weeh1y Times by Professor J :.
l.. M. Curry. The paper in question
is an analysis of the principles and pro-
! visions OF tho constitution adoptci by
the Montgomery Congress and under
which the States in rebellion were gov
crncd. This constitution mauitcsts
more clearly than anything else the ami
mus OF the secession movement and
the methods Of secession leaders, but it
is also interesting because it contains
several Of the provisions which "re-
formers" now seek and have long
sought to engraft upon the organic
law of the United States.
"a system Of civil service reform was
provided; cabinet officers were given
seats on the floor Of Congress for the
purpose OF discussion and intcrroga-
ton; the President was to serve for
six years and be ineligible to rc-clec-
ton; q veto Of separate items ofappro-
prIation bills allowable; any Federal
officer resident or acting solely within
the limits of n State could be impcach-
cd by the Legislature of such State !:
cabinet officers and foreign ministers
Were removable by the President at
will; no person rejected by the Senate
could be rc-appointed to the same of.
flee during the recess Of the Senate,
and 80 on, while many features OF tho
constitution Of the United States were
retained. Bills to effect many Of the
changes thus brought about arc before
Congress, have been for years, and arc
every now md then discussed bv the
press. 1t is curious to read in this ar.
ticlc that Oh the 10th March, 1861, the
Sew York Herald published the Con.
tedcrate constitution in full, and three
days after editorially commended its
adoption by the United States as "the
nltimatum of tho seeded States. y
The UerulN said: "Thc new constitu.
ton is the constitution of the United
States with some very important and
most desirable improvements. W.
arc free to say that tho Invaluable re-
forms enumerated should be adoptct
by the United States, with or without
a reunion of tho seccded States, an(
as soon as possible. But why not ac
cept them with tho propositions of tho
Confederate States on slavery ma ,

the trusting reader, was one day hold

filing past he suddenly ordered them
to proceed cat the galiop." The colo

the command, and consequently did
not change the pace Of his troopers.

command reached the coloncl's ears,
the men spurrcd their horses, and
started offinto exile. Soon atterward
the Car related what had happened to
his fair companion, who, touched with
pity at the fate Of these victims of dcs-
potic will, asked for their pardon,
eventually with success. The Empe-
ror relented and sent squadron to
bring back the culprits. Now comes
the touching part Of this vcracious tale.

the troop sent in pursuit strained every

The regiment kept galloping ahead, its
pursucrs continued in its wake, and
from that day'to this nothing has ever
