THE CONsTITU EIONAL AMEND.
MENrS

The Tuscarora Mining News pub
fishes synopsis OF the Constitutional
Amendments adopted by the last Legis-
lature. II confirmed by the next Senate
ana Assembly, they will be submitted
to the people for ratification at the e n
eral election in 1856. We agree with the
News that they nre not sufficient to
meet the requirements Of tho times, in
changing the most objectionable fca-
lures in our present Constitution:
"Section 2 of Article " is amended,
changing the time Of the oonvening of
the Legislature from the first Monday
in January to the first Monday in Feb.
rusry. This is for tho purpose OF Civ
ing the State officers an opportunity TO
prepare their reports so they will be in
readiness to submit 10 the Legislature
when it convones, thereby preventing
great waste Of tino which is now occa
stoned by the want Of them during the
first two or three weeks Of the session.
Section OF Article III is ant uded so
as to require naturalized citizens To
perfect their citizenship six, months
prior 10 the time of voting. This is evi-
IDENTITY for the purpose OF preventing
political parties and candidates from
defraying tho expense OF naturalization
papers for such persons as do not care
enough for the privilege of exercising
the elective franchise to pay for them
themselves. IL also DISTINGUISHES all
persons convicted Of the Offenso OF sell
ing their votes.
Article XVI Ia changed so as to rem
der II necessary for Constitutional
amendments to be adopted only by one
Legislature instead Of two consecutive
ones, before submitting them to tho vo-
tors for ratification. 1t requires, how
ever, the vote Of two thirds Of tho NOM
bcrs Of each house instead OF bare
majority. ns under the present system
The Article Is further amended by FIX
ing tho minimum number Of members
OF a Constitutional Convention ut one
bali tho membership Of both branches
Of tho Legislature. instead Of the ag-
grega,e number Ms II now stands.
Section 2 Of Article Nt is amended 90
as to permit tho proper board TO invest
the fnnds hcCtuihg from the sale oi
State lands for educational purposes in
the bonds Of other States, instead Of rs.
s,ricting them 10 United States aud Ne.
vada State bonds, rs at present.

man might reasonably contemplate with the
Hottest ambition. Gen. Arthur no longer,
If be ever did, drifts lazily with the tide,
careless whittier. 1t is not saying too much
to describe him as becoming the master of
events in respects altogether unexpected on
ly short time ago. A high Democratic au-
thority quite recently spoke of Gen Arthur
as having risen to high place in the conf
dence of the country; that all classes, parties
and sects spoke approvingly of him, and
that 1t was the result of what was perceived
to be an earnest intention to treat every du-
ty with conscientious desire to do right
What is better still, he is not discovering to
his countrymen the disposition to plot in
low ways to become his own successor.
There is manifest disposition to concede
that, ii he harbors such wish, he is mani
Testing wise discretion In any attempts he
may be making to crafty it. So far as can
be seen, he is not ''setting up things, as
the saying is, except as straightforward ac-
tion in line Of duty, a conciliatory manner
and a general course indicating the idea
few things really exist which should longer
keep men apart who profess to be welded
to common object. Gen. Arthur unques-
tionably, as the head of his party, has I'M
dertaken to secure peace and harmony
among all its members. This, without much
doubt, explains many things. As q practical
must, that if the Republican party Is not to
stand aside and permit the opposition, after
the lapse Of % years, to take the government
there must be a different state of things
| from what has for more than two years ex-
listed. If it is pacification which Gen. Arthur
| isintent on, it must be confessed that his la
| bors have not been wholly without success.
| He has made me re progress than many per-
sons may be disposed at once to concede.
| His chief success has been in demons trating
that so far as he is concerned there shall be
| no cause Of failure, and that on others shall
rest this responsibility If peace and concord

also-that the general public is not slow to
detect when duty is well done, aud that

party he represents in rising above inc ciam-

true that Gen. Arthur has elevated himself

would probably be as difficult TO describe in
every respect how as to make sure of the
motive. Apparently the latter has proceed

the whole country, and to give his admins

The Presidents Policy.
A Course Which is Intended to Win the
Confidence of the Country.

Although the President is usually one of
the healthiest of men, his physique being
surpassed by very few, his going to the Sol
diers' Home was to secure needed rest and
recuperation, writes Washington CORE
spondent to the Philadelphia Times. His
health, while not seriously impaired, is far
from perfect. The President begins to look
like man of cares and burdens. Though
in his present retreat he will be measurably
relieved from annoyances which pressed on
him at the White House, no one should sup
pose that he will pass his time in idleness.
Oflate, it has been observed that Gen. Ar
thur has manifested an unusual disposition
to work. The disposition appears In some
degree to be born of new purposes, growing
out Of a look ahead for objects which any

THERE seems to be great deal of uheasi-
ness In England in regard to the state of the
Queens health, judging from the frequency
with which 1t is made the subject of cable
ssmment. No one appears to know exactly
what 10 the matter, but it is very evident
that something is amiss. Mr.. Labouchere,
who is usually well informed on such sub
Jects, says that Victoria is suffering from a
mild melaneholia, but as most people sup
posed her to have been troubled with that
complaint for the last twenty years, this is
not q particularly valuable piece Of news.
What the English people are afraid of
though they naturally shrink from the ex !,
preston Of their fears, is that Victoria's
reign may end as sadly as that of her grand
father, George the Third, with whom she
has much In common.

Unlike Mr.. Cheggs.

The Atlanta Constitution is very much
Disguised with Mr.. Hendricks and Mr.. Me-
Donald because not long ago they sat togeth-
sr at banquet and failed to recognize each
other the whole evening. There is no mis-
taking the fact that the conduct was outrag-
eous. Just when the Democratic party
wants to appear dignified these two states
men have to make public exhibition of
themselves, acting like shallow pated young
women, $50 mad that they won't speak"
and all out of pure jealousy. The Constitu-
ton is quite right in denouncing the child
ishness of this behavior at time when mat
tiers of such grave and serious moment are
at stake. Whatever their private sentiments
might have been, Mr.. Hendricks should have
said to Mr.. Mcdonald soto voce, as Mr..
Cheggs said to Dick Swiveller, ''Will You
have the goodness to smile on me now, sir:
some one is looking" And then Mr. McDo-
maid should have beamed on Mr.. Hendricks
before the assembled multitude, and every
body would have been delighted that the
men we're such good friends, and magnani-
nous enough not to be influenced by selfish
considerations. Then the party could have
said 'Such are the men whom we delight
to honor, and in whose hands we would en-.
trust the republic" This would have been
Instead of being able to point out this gen.
eral loneliness to an admiring world, the
Constitution is driven TO remark that the ex.
hibition is an evidence s'that the asin.
fne disposition which betrays itself
among the Democratic leaders every fou,
years is already making its appearance
This anticlimax between what is aud what
ought to be is really too great to be passed
over In silence. 1t throws gloom over the
situation, and rouses just burst of indig.
nation. Their censor does not hesitate to
lay bare the true inwardness of the conduct
OF these two men. 1t says: "They are IN ore
interested in their own personal advance
ment than in the welfare of the people, and
their exhibition of such spite is an evidence
that they are very small men indeed" On
the whole, it is very fortunate that the dis
covery was made before either of the two
was nominated. Though we have no right
to say who shall and who shall not be the
Democratic candidate for President, as there
Ia distant possibility that he may be elect
ed, we are interested to slight extent in
preventing the nomination of any one who
cares more for himself than he does for the
welfare Of the people. We certainly do not
want to see man presiding over the desti-
MES of the country who has less regard for
appearances than Ar. Cheggs had. Mean
while 1t is evident that the difficulty of find
ing the right kind of man is having de-
pressing effect on Democratic journals.
