Is the Constitution a Petfect Instrument i It is assumed In come quarters to bo a very grave error to attempt to amend the Constitu tion of tbfi Uuited States. We are assured quite confidently of tho entire perfection of that vene rable instrument. We are toM, ith a gr t deal of impressive bcnd-sliakine, that it i the height of presumption lor the states men of the present day to suppose themselves wise enough to "ampnd" the work of their ancestors and that the attempt to do so involves a most shock lug dlsrospect to their augut memory. All this would be very sound if it were not so excessively absurd. If our forefathers supposed they bad made so perlect an instrument as we are told the Constitution is oue so exactly adapted to every possiblo emergency which might or may ever arise In the nation's history the question very naturally arises, why did they so carefully provide the ways and means for Its amendment? Why did they not make it like the laws of the Medea and the Persians, which change not f And if the instrument ns it came from their hands was so entirely unim provable, bow did It happen that so many very important amendments to It were so ooon found necessary to be made t The truth Is, the men who made our Corntitu tion were wise in their day and according to the lights they had, but wisdom had been In tne woild before their time, and it did not die with them. The Government they foun led was purely experimental. Tbey had few precedents to guide them, and almost no 1'ghts from expe , rience. They could only balance probabilities for the future. Not being omniscient, they could not foresee all the exigencies that might arise m the life of the nation, and they could not tell how their complex scheme of government might be found to work as to all its parts in practice. They were tilled with confi dence In the great principles of a re publican form of government, and had enun ciated those principles with remarkaUe vigor and clearness in the Declaration of Independ ence, but they were not able to give them full ' effect and application in th form of govern- mptit thpv Arinntpri. TliAir wprA In Hia mirier, nf conflicting elements and interests, and had to do not ideally or really ine Dest tiling, out tne Dost thing practical to be done at thai time. They saw and were perfectly conscious of the weak ness and imperfection of much of their work. They never thought of arrogatjng petfectim for it. They saw that the Constitution, would need amendments, and they leit the door wide open for them. They trusted something to the wis dom and patriotism of those who shiuld come after them. Ttnf- wa urn tnlrl ihnt. fnr fl Inner timA tilt nnf Inn has lived under the present Constitution with out amendment, and has grown and prospered exceedingly; and therefore no amendments can now be necessary. We can remember when a similar argument was nsed in lavor of the per. peluatioo of slavery. We were told that slavery had existed from the foundation ol the Govern ment, and that we had grown to greatness and power in its presence. So, too, it used to be a stock argument with the Democrats that they, as a party, had been in power much of the time during the nation's history, and the nation had Htnn nrnanorAtia fln1 hnnnt! firnn fhc roiirn nf the Democratic party wa a good thing. It might, well be replied to tbi style of argu ment, that facts may be coincident without stand ing In the relation of cause and effect. We all remember the story of the "old ancient man" who thought that the sands wnicU gradually ob structed lae entrance to uouuwm naruur were cauced bv Tenterden steeple, because previous to the erection of that steeple the harbor was unobstructed ; but the old man's logic has not generally been deemed of the most convincing and luminous order. The nation may have grown and prospered, not by virtue of, but in s,Ui of pseudo democracy and slavery. So, too with regard to the weak points of the Constitu tion we have lived in spite of them, not because of them. This argument, too, might very Justly be re torted upon its authors. "Behold," we might say, "our nation is not yet a hundred years old a mere hand's breadth in the life of a people and see to what the errors in it) Constitution lave brought usl A horrid civil war, causing the sacrifice of a rxllUon lives aud of thousands of millions of money." There are many points which the Constitution leaves vague, that time and experience have shown ought to be settled. It is suflicient to inctance the question of secession. We may now consider that question as settled by the arbitrament of war, it is true; but who shall say that if it had been as clearly settled in the Con stitution itself, we nuiiht not have beun saved so f costly a method of determining it? The rights of citizen, as citizens of the United States, under the Constitution, are left very vague. According to one construction, a man may be a citizen of the United States, bound to render It service and allegiance, and yet the general Government may not protect him in the enjoyment of his most sacred rights. ; "Tie may have ex-Tclsed the right of suffrage for years, voting (or President aud Vice-President, and members of the House of Representatives, and yet by simply movlnz to another part of the ( country my hud himself perpetually disfran chised, merely on account of some physical rhnracte: istic. Tne basis of representation, as originally fixed . in the Constitution, Is now found to work very grons injustice, giving to each Southern voter about two and one-half times as much power , as to a Northern voter. The unjust disfran chisement ol one portion of the citizens is made ' to put aiistocratic power la the bands of those perpetrating the wrong. A premium Is thus offered for a violation of one of the essential piinclplesof our form of government. The whole subject of rebellion and attempted revel ut ton, the status of States that have re THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, volted and been subdued, the entlro group of difficult yet most important question which are now agitating the politic of the country, is left untouched by the Constitution, except as matters of inference from its more geaera'. provisions. There are numerous other points wbloh mWht be suggested, and which must have occurred lo every reflecting mind, wheie the Constitution Is weak, and mieht be profitably amended. We have tot space, however, to dwell upon them. We have instanced enough to show that those who desire its amendment are not to be put down by the cry that the Constitution is per fect, much 1pm by the charge of showing dis respect to the memory of its trainers. The fact that those who attempt to forestall action by such considerations as these are a class of politicians who uniformly interprot the Consti tution in the interests ol inu-tice and in equality, Instead of liberty and fraternity, is an addnionnl rea on why tho.r Interested remon ninnces should have' but sliglit weight with liberal mind a. The Future of Music in America. It i a curious fact that disaster has the power of al once opening the eyes ol a community to all the detects of on who has fallen into ruin. It is singular how carefully the peccadilloes com mitted by a bankiupt are remembered and re called. All his evil qualities arc magnified, ai viewed through the glas?e4 of failure. What is true In the case of an individua', m also proved itself applicable so fur as a building is concerned As long as the New York Academy of Music stood, so long were its merits dilated upon, and comparison drawn between it and the ttoyal Opera House at Beilin, to the total ignoring of such a building as the Academy in our city. In a list, recently published in tho Ne York papers, of the largest opera houses in the world curs is entirely omitted. Now, however, a; fire has destroyed thai huue Germaii gingerbread i ll its delects are acknowledged, Us ruin is in. lerprcted as a Providential interference, and to the Phccnlx which will rise from its ashej is predicted a splendor and a pertection which will excel all rivals. We hoje, however, in the new edifice the architect and stockholders will display a little of that taste which the inspection of our Aca demy would have instilled into their minds. If they will have Grimson paper, with gilt flowers, inteispersed with bunches of golden prupes, with blue background, they cannot blame the critical if they do say it looks a little like "shoddy." True, it is Hipyejlive of the wealth which tills its walls, but it is also sug gestive of "Miss Kilinanscgg au;i her golden leg," and the penchant that lady htd tor an un seemly exhibi'ion of her limb. We would also recommend that the plan pursued in the old Academy of placing r. siatuette on every pro jection be reformed. It is not a temple of Jug gernaut, with eQig'es of the deity exposed on every side; nor U it a Roman residence, with Lares and l'euutcs an household .sods; nor yet is it to rival the cap of Louis XI, Attn its innu merable images ol saints. Neat but not gaudy is a recommendation. Let it be rich and massive, resembling in architecture rather the Gothic arch than the French c tpola. We believe that a new era in the progress of music in America is about to be opened. T&e New York Academy will call to its walls sufli cient foreign ioipoitation of prime donnes, while in our own city we are rapidly taking strides towards a future when we will be inde pendent of the whims of the European queens of song. The system of amateur operas, although ridiculed and elided when first originated by Mr. I'ekelli, has proved so great a success, that we hope tre long to be released from the bond age we are in to vocalists acioss the water. The plan has been conducted in an unobtrusive style, which has not attracted much attention away from our own city. Pnllaielpbia was never addicted to self-glortdcatton. If New York had had such a troupe as has been given to us papers would have run? with it. m.. meW a mon oonirrai ultiou ud oir-a.do- rationuid the whole land would have rung with the great success of an entirely new sys tem. As it is, Pebelli has only sought to raise the art of music and give pleasure, careless o the vain bombast which New York loves. The same plan is to be pursued in the future, and we hope that it will be the germ from which will spring a race of American prime donnes who will cultivate native art. We do not see why such a scheme might not succeed, if a proper school was afforded, as was designed when our Academy was commenced. When it is accoiu pi. shed we will have in our possession a mighty lever to advance civilization, for nothing con tributes more to a native refinement than fami liarity with music and a genuine love of the fine arts. Ibe Arrest ot the Commandeiiu-Chiof. Latest advices inform us that the great leader of the Canadian invasion, the designer of the subversion of the British empire, and general-in-chief of that branch of the Brotherhood who seek for blood, was ignoniiniously arrested in his bed, this mornlue, by the United States au thorities, and held in durance vile. It would be sacrilegious to endeavor to portray the feelings of this heroic chief at such a dastardly indignity. We are at a loss to understand ho tho diplo matic Secretary of State would risk an action which might involve us In. difficulties witu the Iri-h Republic. With Mexico on our hands, it ill btcomcs us to-incur the enmity of so power ful and bitter, as well as scientific and strategic, a foe as the sons of the Emerald Isle. How ever, the deed has bo?n done, and it behooves us as loyal citit.ens to stand by our Govern ment, and run all the dangers to which she has exposed herself by her indiscretion. It was a bold deed, savoring almost of temerity, yet, as it has been dono, we hopo it will be followed up by the seizure of James Stephkns and W. R. Roberts, the one for etdeavoring to secure money under false pretenses, aud the other for endeavoring to break the neutrality laws. It is hardly natural for Irishmen to suppose that the Government would quietly see its trea ties violated, and its pledged word brokeu by them in a wild fiasco. Let Sweenkt be kept in jail, or admitted to ball on something more than 1500, on his own recognizance. If be and all the leaders are thus disposed of, much life and property will be saved to the American Irish men, and in giving this advice we only prove ourselves the I est friends which the members of the Fenian Brotherhood bave in this country. We give timely counsel, but they will all see ere long, that as we were right In deprecating subscriptions to O'Mahont bouds, we are also correct in opposing Canadian Invasion, aul favoring general arrests. PnAix we Have om T.ooAt. Boih.ktard9 Oeoroe Augusta 8ala has of late been con tributing to the OornhM Magazine a series of articles on the "Great BWects of the World," in which Paris, London, Berlin, Dresden, Havre, New York, and all the leading municipalities of civilized nations are rcpiejen'ed, with the ex ception ol Philadelphia. It would require even more than loeai partiality end a nice fancy to discover in the city of Biotherly Love any worthy of being noted a tha principal street of the town. TnoLLorB compared it to "a vast multiplication table," and we do indeed resem ble that obfeet of childhood's dread, in so far as all our thoroushfnres running East and West are concerned. Those, however, coming from North to South have one exception, which could be made a rival ot the Parisian Boulevard thai exception is Broad street, to be Lincoln avenue. It is the only street In our city which could be mode a prsud drive and promenade, uud on which wealth lavist.ed would be well employed to beaut fy our city. The question, bholl we have a street worthy of the second city of America, or (.hull we still remain w ithout any drive tor ourcitlzous, is one well worthy of the attention of tho public. If tbe upper and lower end of Broad street be im proved, and when the three years have elapsed the middle portion receive a proper refitting, we shall soon have long rows of palatial man sions extending for miles on both s.des, aud presenting a rival to Fiitu avenue in cost, and a superior in width and beauty. We would nave a niagnitlcent drive from the Delaware, below Lcasiie Islund, to the country around Fisher's lane. It would be a convenience, an ornament, und a pride to our people. The cob of ail the need ul improvements, as stated before the S-pecifilCon.ujit'ee yesterday, would be$229,000 to the citizens and $3fi,000 to tho city. Whether it is rais' d must rest with tho.-e most directly interested, although sbould they do so, Ph ladel. phia would no loiieer be drenied unworthy of mention among the cities which had the finest ttreets of the world. League Island. The question of the Navy Yard for iron-clads being located at League Island came up yesterday before the House, when Judge Kelley delivered oue of his telling speeches in its favor. Hon. Cuarles O'Neill also folio wed in an able address. We are sure thai the Philadelphia delegation will leave no effort unexerted in order to secure the success of the city. We are only astonished that local prejudice cannot be held subservient to national good, and that our Eastern friends are willing to sacri.ee their country to secure a beneiit to their neighboihood. They are either acting most selfishly, or clso their eyes are so easily blinded by prejudice that they are better filled for the facm than the forum. Democratic Sympathy with Jeff. Davis. William B. Reed, in the United States Court at Richmond, the other day, avowed his strong "pirsonal sympathy" with Jeff. Davis. The same "sympathy" exists In the bosoms of the other Democratic leaders in this State Hkistbr Clymer among the rest. They sympathized with Jeff, all through tho war; why should they not do so now? They kept up "a fire in the rear" while the Rebels kpt up the fire in front. Between them, we lost the lives of three hundred thousand men, loyal, good, and true. Sympathize with Davis? Ot course they do. They are old comrades In the Bame cause. They would vote tor him for President, if they had the chance. Tub Gab Investigation drags its slow length along. Tho Committee met yesterday, examined Chaules Thompson Jones, and declined to join with the special committee of Common Council. The reason for their refusal Is that Common Council refused to concur in the appointment of a committee when asked by the Select Coun cil, but immediately appointed a committee of its own, which action is held to be disrespectful to the other Chamber. A sensational American is now in Paris, whose profession is that of a face-maker" in theatrical parlar.ee, a "grime." He places him self behind a frame hidden with a white cloth, and beside a table covered with wigs, f'aUe beards, and paint-brushes. As soon as his toilette is made, he suddenly draws aside the curtain and exhibits to the spectators the head ot Washini.tou, Napoleon, Charles I, Welling ton, Louis XI, or that of a madman, an idiot, a fury, a criminal, etc. The principal merit ol this curious spectacle is the rapidity with which the aUiBt "changes his hend," for each transformation is perlect in its truthful resem blance. As yet be has only exhibited his powers in private, and the Paris public Is wait ing for him with intereit. The Empress Eugenie was forty on the 5th of May, and she begins to fade. Her fears at the appioacli of threatening wrinkles are said to be terrible. SEA-SIDE SHAWLS. JUST OPENED, A LARGE LOT OF SEA-SIDES, JMIRBLY NEW DESIGNS AND C JLOEs, FKOM 3 00 to $12 09. JOHN W.
