VIII He Apologize?

The country is going to hear from the
Hon. John James ingalls, again. He has
taken particular care to give notice that he
intends to answer the speech of Senator
Voorhees,, which was delivered in the Sen
ate day or two ago, and which must have
made the Kansas Senator wonder whether
he would not rather nave been sprinkled
with vitriol than to have been the subject
of the Indiana Senator's scathing speech.
The Kansas Senator is beginning to find
out how contemplate he made himself in
the eyes OF self-respecting people when he
attempted to blacken the memories Of Gems.
Mcclellan and Hancock, and what
very great mistake the attempt was. He sat
quietly under the severe tongue-lashing
which Senator Blackburn gave him at the
time he tried to rob the dead generals Of their
well-earned regulations, and he has said
nothing in answer to the numerous news
paper attacks upon him. The torture to
which Senator Voorhees, subjected him,
however, was more than he could endure
in silence, and the country is curious to
know whether Lis cries of pain will be in
the nature of an apology for his desecra-
ton of the graves of the honored dead, or
Of curses upon those who have held him up
to the scorn of his fellow men.
He thought that because Gems Mcclellan
and Hancock were Democrats the Grand
Army veterans would applaud his effort to
bring their memories into disrepute, and he
was dazed when he discovered that they
had proper sense of decency. Their
silent condemnation alarmed him, because
it brought to his mind picture of himself
as dead cock in the political pit. viii he
have the good sense to take the back track,
with the hope of regaining the place in the
estimation of decent people which he has
reason TO believe he has forfeited!

1t will be remembered that when ex-
Minister c. H. J. Taylor resigned and re-
turned TO this country from Liberia,
his description of it was not
at all favorable z. B. Roberts,
who emigrated to Liberia in 1S49, and who
has lived there ever since, takes issue with
the ex Minister, whose statements he says
are libels He says Taylor never went out
side of Monrovia, and therefore has no
definite knowledge of the republic. 1t is
his fur;ho opinion that Taylor's statements
wore made to retard immigration to Libe-
ria, but he is convinced that the utterly
preposterous character of many of them
will defeat this purpose Roberts talks as
if he were interested in a colonization
scheme in Liberia. No doubt Taylor was
about right in his statements.

The Democratic party of Indiana has it in
its power to carry the State, but has no
margin to spare in a vain endeavor to feed
the insatiate ambition of Gov. Gray, whose
political record shows no higher purpose or
aim than personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and
whose cry since he has connected himself
with the Democratic party has been that of
the horse leech, aud whose plate, like that
of Oliver Twist, is always held up for

Proposed constitutional Amendmer

Proposed Constitutional Amendments
Several amendments to the constitution
have been introduced into the present Con-
gress, but none of them has met
with very much encouragement. In
fact, only one of them has yet been
voted upon. That was one to change
Inauguration day from March to
April 30 The reasons for this change are
not very strong, the chief one being that
Washington's first inauguration occurred
on April 30. 1t is doubtful if this can be
called a reason; at all events, Congress did
not think SO, and the amendment was
promptly killed.
The House Judiciary Committee has just
reported adversely an amendment changing
the term of Office of the President from four
to eight years, and making the President
ineligible to reelection.
An amendment that has been favorably
reported is one looking to the election of
United States Senators by direct vote of
the people If this amendment should be
adopted there are doubtless several men,
bers of the present Senate whose chances
for reelection would be very slim, but who
will probably be returned by their respect
i've State Legislatures. There is, however.
no likelihood that it will be adopted If it
should reach the Senate it would be de-
feated.
An effort has been repeatedly made to
change the constitution so that the Presi-
dent shall be elected by popular vote, and
it has been renewed in this Congress. In
1850 Mr.. Lincoln had majority in the
electoral college, but out Of popular vote
of about 100000 votes, he received less
than 2,000,O00 The other votes were
divided between Breckinridge, Douglass
and Bell. Mr.. Tilden had a popular ma
jority of 100000, though he had only one
majority in the electoral college, and was
defrauded of that.
1t is not an easy matter to amend the
constitution. The amendments must not
only pass both houses of Congress, but must
also be ratified by the States. If any of the
amendments referred to should get through
Congress they would probably not be rati-
fed The constitution appears to suit the
people very well as it is and the probability
is that it will not be amended again soon,
unless the necessity for doing so becomes
much more urgent than it is at present.
