Tbe State Convention of Michigan has fiuislied its labors and adjourned. The new Constitution affirms that all power of govern ment ia inherent in the people. Freedom of conscience, of ppeech, and of the press is secured, and in cases of libel, "if it shall appear to the jury that the matter charged as libelous is true, and was published with good motives, and for jiihtifkMe ends, the party shall he acquitted." Jury trials may be waived in civil cases unless demanded by one party; the Legislature may authorize trials by juries' of less than twelve; any suitor may prosecute or defend in person in any Court. Imprisonment for debt is forbidden, except in case of fraud or breach of trust, or of promise to marry, or of moneys collected by publio officers, or in any professional employment, glaveiy is outlawed. The elective franchise is restricted to per sons of twenty-one years of age, Laving three months' residence in the State, and ten days in the district. Duelling disqualifies from holding office or voting. The Senate Las thirty-two members, but alter 1870 may have thirty-three one extra for the Thirty-eecond District (Detroit). They hold for iour years, half being chosen each, second year. Counties cannot be divided unless entitled to more than one Senator. The House shall Lave not more than 110 members, chosen by 'single districts for two years. After the first fifty days of a session no new bill shall be heard save by a two-thirds vote of all the members elected. The veto ia in the usual way, save that all bills not signed within five days after adjournment shall be void. A clear majority of each House is re quired to enact a law, and two-thirds where money is appropriated. A State paper shall be established; Circuit Courts appoint County Judges; Supreme and l'rebate Judges are elected the Governor fills vacancies. Two thit la of each House may demand the opinion of the Supreme Court upon points of consti tutional law. Tbe elective officers are a Secretary of State, a State Treasurer, a Commissioner of the State Land Office, a Superintendent of Publio In struction, an Auditor-General, and an Attorney-General, for the term of two years, each of whom shall keen Lis office at the seat of government. The term of office begins January 1, 18G!), and every second year there after. The Governor's salary is $3000 per year; Supreme Judges the same, without fees or perquisites. The article on "Finance and Taxation" pre sents no novelties, save that the State is for bidden to take shares in publio improvements, except in disposing of grants made to the State . of land or other public property. The Sault Ste Marie Canal is an exception. All assess ments are hereafter to be on the cash value of the property taxed. A board of equalization of tax is provided for. The State shall not assume county, town, or other debts. The militia is regulated after the usual plan. Private corporations for railroads, banks, manufacturing, eto., shall be raised under general laws, and no special charter shall issue except by assent of two-thirds of each House. Individual . liability is provided for where currency is issued, and stockholders are in dividually liable for labor on behalf of their corporation. Personal property, to the amount of $500, is exempt from levy; a homestead of forty acres, .dwellings, etc., not valued over $2500, is exempt from sale for debt, and such property is secured to a widow or deserted wife as long as she Las no other Lome of her own. "The real and personal estate of every woman acquired before marriage, and the pro perty to which she may afterwards become entitled, bv Eift, grant, inheritance, or devise, Bhall be and remain the estate and property of Buck woman, and shall not be liable for the debts, obligations, or engagements of her husband, and may be devised, bequeathed, and alienated by her, as if sbe were un married." "No money shall be appropriated or drawn from the treasury for the benefit of any reli gious aeet or society, theological or religious seminary, or schools .under denominational control, nor shall property belonging to the B' ate be appropriated for any such purposes, KaoD House of tbe Legislature shall provide for religious exercises at the opening of Its dally sessions. These are the chief provisions in the draft of the Constitution before'us. The matter of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors is to be submitted separately to the people, and f endorsed at the polls will beoome thenoe orward a part of the organio law. The form Of this section is as follows: "At tbe election, at the name time when the Totes of the electors Khali be taken for the adop tion or rejection of this Uonstltution.au addi tional section, numbered , In the words fol lowing: 'The Legislature Khali not pass any act authorizing ttjc yrunt of license for life sale of ardent spirits or lntoxlonliug liquors, but hall by law prohibit tbo bale of the same as a beverage,' shall be separately submitted to the electors of this Htnte. for their adoption or re jection, in form following, to wit: 'A separate) ballot may be given by every person having the right to vote for the revised Constitution, to be deposited lu a separate box. Upon Hie bullous given fur said separate section shall be written or printed, or partly written and partly printed, the words, Prohibition Ves;' and upon the ballots glveu against tbe adoption of the said section, in like man ner, the words, 'Prohibition No.' then there shall be Inserted In said article the said additional sectiou, to be numbered , la said article." Some attempts were made to amend it, but it passed as above. The changes in the new Constitution are few, but are all in the way of progress. The rum prohibition is the most important; that prohibiting the giving of publio money for sectarian purposes is noteworthy, as is the voting of taxes upon the cash value of pro perty, instead of upon the whims of ignorant or prejudiced assessors. A bold struggle was made to secure female suffrage, and it was carried in oominittee, but voted down. Alien3 are placed on a favorable footing, with a view to encourage immigration. The system of choosing olucers is not materially changed, The new constitution will be voted upon in November, we believe. Ta Maritime Right of Tim or V ax. Neutrals la Pram the N. Y. Timet. It will, perhaps, be scarcely less surprising to some to find a liberal thinker like Mr. Mill defending privateering as a proper and legiti mate belligerent right, than to find a great vmiloaopber like Carlyle defending human irvas a Divine Institution. In a speech delivered the other day in the House of Com mens, the author of the essay on "Liberty; 7l"t L. Ma t the "Declaration of Paris,' Lt which all the independent European States . ,. . ni alovuti vnara aero. entered into an grcou"" , l" ,. ?icrht of seizins an enemy'i property in neutral vessels-excepting only such property as is contraband of war. The question had slumbered lor forty years THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPII PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, During the long and bloody struggle which marked the opening of the century, the first Napoleon found in the expedient of privateer, ing an agency invaluable in view of the un equal naval strength of the two great bellige rents. And that agency was employed with a destructive energv to which there was probably no parallel in the history of war. The long peace which succeeded, down to the outbreak of the Russian war, had accustomed people to the notion that no such international conflict as that which closed in 1815 was again pro bable, or, poradventure, even possible. De lusive hopes were founded on the Indus trial lixhibitions; and when the first of these turned out so unbounded a success, there were not many even of those endowed with a fair share of political sagacity who would have been bold enough to forecast an outbreak such as followed three years later. That struggle came; and at the end of mauy months ot desperate warfare, with little poli tical result, with no settlement of a perma nent character established, the belligerents sat down to consider in what way when the war should break out anew they could carry it on with the least damage to private pro perty. The object may have been laudable; and it may have been that we should have profited, five years later, when the Rebellion broke out, if we had accepted the invitation to become parties to the declaration. And yet, in view of the "neutral" enterprise which sent the privateer "HilO" forth to the high seas before tbe llebols Lad fairly organized for the fight, it is doubtful whether the Declaration of Paris, or any similar agreement of an interna tional character, would have been respected in our case. If what might be assumed to be the spirit of that Declaration had been fairly interpreted, the mere comity of nations would have prevented tLe leading States of Western Europe from extending the patronage and pro tection to privateering which they did extend for nearly four years. Mr. Mill's examination of the Declaration of Paris, in the abstract, is close and pointed. He asks how war is to be made more humane by shooting at people's bodies instead of taking their property f If cargoes are safe in neutral vessels and not in those of the belligerents, the whole import and export trade of the latter, in a protracted struggle, would pass into the hands of the neutral carrier. The sailors would go where the ships went, and their re covery on the return of peace would be slow and doubtful. He asks, then, where there would bo a naval reserve such as England deems it essential to maintain? The necessi ties of the case would, he contends, lead to a demand for an enlargement of the scope of the Declaration, as it now stands, so as to obtain the total exemption of the belligerent's pro perty at sea from the contingency of seizure during war. Then the spectacle would be witnessed of nations at war with nations, while their merchants and shipowners were at peace. The result would be that merchants, manu facturers, and even agriculturists, would have nothing to lose by a state of war, and would have no motive to abstain from it except an increase of taxation a burden which people are often only too ready to inflict upon them selves irom the smallest motive of national self-assertion. The reasoning is plausible enough, and while Lord Stanley replies specifically and with great force on points bearing upon the history of the Declaration of Paris; upon the question of England's withdrawing from that agreement; and upon practical matters of international concern, he is brought by Mr. Mill's keen analysis to the admission that it will not do to continue ostensibly a party to the Declaration, unless it is intended to act upon it in the letter and spirit under all circumstances. Still, says the Foreign Secre tary, "We must not forget that the rules ap plicable to ordinary wars will all be disre garded in the extreme struggle for life and death." This, it seems to us, is giving up the principle upon which the Paris agreement was based. A war for the maintenance of the na tional honor must be essentially a struggle for life and death. How is the distinction to be drawn between the two kinds of conflict ? There is in some sense a difference between them. Hut if in any extremity the rales of belligerency contained in the Declaration may be violated, the violation would surely be jus tilled in a struggle for the maintenance of the national honor. Mr. Mill's argument was doubtless assailable in several of its separate parts, but taken as a whole, it will be regarded as a masterly elabo ration of General Sherman's sententious remark that "war is cruelty, and you cannot make it anything else." Its horrors may have been mitigated in later times where tbe bellige rents were highly civilized, but it is cruelty after all. The only real mitigation is in seeing that it has become a necessity before it is undertaken. The Declaration of Paris, as Lord Stanley admits, would be worthless in an extreme struggle for existence. And the same is true of every International agreement which is not based on a keen perception of international obligations and a constant regard for international friendship. Tba Chicago Labor Congress. from the N. Y. Tribune. This body has adjourned, after doing as nearly nothing as possible, that is, if the daily reports have fairly set forth its work. A con temporary sums up the fruits of the Congress thus: "The prinoiple of cooperation was re commended; a representative was chosen to make the tour of Europe, with an inexplicit commission to gather facts pertaining to the labor system there, and to the practical work ing of cooperation; a step was taken to form a workingmen's political party; and a report was adopted which aims to secure better State laws in respect to apprentices." Surely, this is not a wonderful deal of work for so important a body; and little as it is, there is some of it that should have been lett undone. Ihe sending of a member on a pleasure trip to Europe may be a harmless as well as useless employment of money; but the step towards the organization of laboring men into a political party is fraught with the direst mischief. woriunguien will find out to their cost, if they venture upon the experiment, that partisan leaders and demagogues will fasten upon them like leeches, and use them lor their own soman purposes. It should be the very first article in the by-laws of every workingmen's associa tion, that they will not, as a body, have any thing to say or do concerning politics, or politi cal parties, beyond striving to prooure the best possible legislation from the powers that be. As a rule, the workincmen now have the good-will and confidence of all parties, and of fill Yiiialm . . """-cob men and capitalists.

Tbe Cabinet Resignations. From the JV. 1". Herald. We Lave long pictured naught but clashing elements in the President's Cabinet. Its con dition is clearly set forth in the correspondence which was published on Monday, relative to the removal of Sheridan. If it be true that the Cabinet Lave signified to the President their willingness to resign, their resignations should at once be accepted. If Mr. Johnson hesitates he is lost. Now is Lis moment, when fortune, at the ' flojd-tide, awaits Lis grasp. The great mass of the Northern people are waiting anxiously to Lear that the President has risen to the height of the occasion, and shown Limself fit to handle the executive power. Half-way work at this inomeut will be political suicide for him. An acceptance of the resignation of every member of Lis Cabinet, and its complete reconstruction, will be applauded by the JNorth as the first step towards the reconstruction of the South and the harmonizing of our political elements. Mr. McCulloc-h must not brf retained. Upnu the finances of the country hangs the uation's greatness or its bankruptcy, with all the attendant ruin. The national debt of three thousand millions, with the corruption th.it hangs to its management, demands the ablest financial brain in the country to set it into such trained channels that the nation will be willing to shape her destiny upon its wise administration. The present incumbent of the Treasury Department is not the man to battle with the problem. Abler hands and clearer brains must now be entrusted with the position which has become the most important in the Cabinet. The President fails in hi3 duty if he retains Mr. McCulIoch. Let him clear the wreck and repair our ship of state for a new and more prosperous voyage. The Secretary ad interim of the War Depart ment must turn over his portfolio to civil hands. His ideas are too much enshrouded in a military uniform to suit the position. He has been completely unhorsed in his tilt with the President. Like a true soldier, he obeyed orders in assuming his present duties. Let him as quickly as possible give place to other and abler brains, retaining solely the general ship ot our armies. As for Mr. Seward, there is no doubt but the country Las suffered sufficiently nnder his maladministration of its foreign affairs. He has done more to injure republican institutions on this continent than can be repaired in any reasonable time. The President cannot refuse Lis resignation. TLe navy, too, wants an infusion of new energy. We die on the ocean, and our Wrecked commercial hopes come home to us to contribute to the national mourning for a lost greatness. Change ! Give it to us. We must Lave it. The President and Congress are all Repub licans together. Heretofore they have, through the Cabinet, been divided on personal issues. The country has, in the meantime, looked on aghast at the real issue presented, and seen, in the exclusion of the white man from the ballot and the forcing of the negro into power, the restoration of political chaos. We have seen, under plea of reconstruction, the shadows of the old Roman procousulships banging over us. We Lave tasted sufficiently the pleasures of military rule. District com manders have pressed military despotism to our lips until the dose has caused a reaction. They apparently Lave no just conception of the law of Congress, which made them a sim ple police force, to be called upon when civil power failed in action. Military government I Negro supremacy ! These are the ruling ideas that flash across the Atlantio and ring the death-knell of the re public upon monarchical ears. Will the loyal States, east and west, consent to the over throw of our institutions in this way ? The President must topple over these barriers which retard our march. He must resuscitate the great principles of government which lie beneath them. He must lift these up into the new light that reaction is pouring upoa the sitution. The first necessity is a new Cabinet. The country cries to him to clear the wreck. Tlia Fall Elections. FrotnVieW. Y. World. Elections will shortly be held in the follow ing States, viz.: California, September 2; Maine, September 9; Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Iowa, October 8; Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, November 5. Of these elec tions those which excite the most attention and interest are the contests for the Governor ship of California and Ohio, and the choice of a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, in place of Judge George W. Woodward, in Penn sylvania. These three States are now under radical government. But the radical party in Cali fornia enters upon the new election under the following difficulties: The regular representa tives of the party met in convention, adopted the usual platform of radical platitudes, and nominated George C. Gorharn for Governor, with a full State ticket, and three candidates for Congress. Subsequently, July 17, the disaffected wing of the party held a convention and nominated John Indwell for Governor, and presented a platform appealing to the most radical of radicals, indorsing the action of Congress on Reconstruction, and declaring for "impartial suffrage without distinction of color." This "bolting" convention also held out a bait to the mechanics and workingmen in the shape of a sugar-coated but cautious and non-committal resolution "in favor of such limit by law to the hours of labor as the sound judgment of laborers themselves Bhall fix as for their best interests, after mature deliberation in their own councils. This platform was a general giving of "every thing to everybody;" for "impartial suf frage without distinction of color" might include the chrome-yellow Celestials; the en dorsement of Congress ought to, and did, meet the approval of the extremist radicals; and the appeal to the labor interest was shrewdly made. The defection was strong enough to enlist the support of the San 1 ran cisco Bulletin, the Owl, the Aha California, and the Sacramento Union, and the Demo cratic nominee for the Governorship, Henry II. Haight, seemed likely to walk between the two radical candidates, and take his seat as Governor. Then liidwell was persuaded to withdraw l.nt no AlaatfantMli loumalS did Tlflt. withdraw tIiaii nniifliHfiTi and the "Inde pendent Union Republican" party nominated AnotViuv iri,iDio ai.,H t. Vav. in Bidwell 8 place. The Evening Post, August 22, admits that "the controversy between the two divi sions of the Republican party in California is verv iilttai- anil nnlB tli breach is healed, and the radicals unite their forces, it is quite possible that Mr. Uaifht may be the next Gov. emor of that State. The Deriioiirfti T of Ohio ara making- a more vicroroiiH r.nmnaiirn than thev have done at any time Lu the past six years. Judge Allen G.

""3U,,, 1'istrict, has re signed his seat in Congress to run as the radi cal candidate for Governor. The Tribune, August 15, says that this election is "very likely to prove a close one." It says that the radicals carried the State handsomely laflt October, "but that was when the Rebel mas se, re m New Orleans and President Johnson's harangues, while Winging rouni the o role enabled us to carry any State wh people can generally read." Indeed! Then that radical not, which the ribune calls a "Rebel massacre in New Orleans," tm, H8 we have so often charged, only powder to secure radical vic tories at the North; and the absence of for eign and factitious issues, with the whole Ih.ods of falsehoods founded thereon, is likely to n.ake the election in Ohio "a very olose one," and the radical chances doubtful. The platform oi the radical party in that State is full of fossils and ancient aphorisms about the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery and similar topics, and it contains a resolution pledging the support of the Ohio radicals to Sheridan and the other military commanders in the fc-'outh, which, considering recent events, and what may happen to morrow, is a fra grantly fresh thing to carry into au election next October. But there is a live issue; at last, radicalism plants itself on "the broad platform of manhood suffrage," and the Tri bune, of August 15, in the article from which we have already quoted, says, "we presume this righteous step forward will cost the Re publicans of Ohio several thousands of votes In Pennsylvania the struggle is between (ieorge Sharswood, Democrat, and Henry W. Williams, radical, for the highest seat on the Supreme Court bench. The Democrats make a political issue on the extravagance and cor ruption of the Legislature and the radical State authorities aud Thaddeus Stevens, ad mitting the corruptions of his party, tries to break the anticipated fall by declaring that the State is in danger through the "apathy" of the radicals. The radical candidate is standing on a platform which unblushingly proposes "to place the bupreme Court in har mony with the political opinions of the majo rity of the people," thus preparing the State, in the event of his suocess, for a judicial oilioer like Hunnicutt in Virginia. Under the oir cumstances, a reasonable degree of what Ste veus calls "apathy" might be expected, In addition to the positive political and moral strength which the Democracy can bring to bear in these three States this fall radicalism has to contend with the reaction which is everywhere manifest in the North and besides the dissensions in their party, the stock in trade of the radicals is too stale for the present market. The Chicago Times well says: "The 'nigger Is no longer an excitinz topic, The radicals themselves tear that they have given him an unuue elevation. Thesubj-ctorthe tearful wlckeoneM.s ol Rebels Is becoming Mule The cant so prevalent for the last ten years comparing "the interests or uod and human ny," is no longer interesting. The people are beginning to turn their attention to high taxes, lo larlll exactions, to othclal corruption, io a revival of trade with the South, and generally to me material interests oi me country. Precisely; and it remains to be seen how far this reaction indicates a return to reaso aud common sense in the States which hoi I elections this fall. Tbe Salzburg Conference. From the N. Y. Ilercud. State secrets are proverbially well kept. State secrets, however, are less well kept than formerly. They do, at times, ooze out wit ness the Grant and Johnson correspondence. What has actually been done at Salzburg we do not fully know. The secret, however, has not been perfectly kept, and the little whioh is known will doubtless have the effect of bring ing speedily to light what is unknown. Our latest telegrams make this, at least, abundantly plain that Prussia, if she does not know all, is fully convinced that the two imperial heads, while they were together, were busy as they well could be, plotting against everything which at the present moment she holds specially dear. Our telegram of Monday states that the semi-official journals of Berlin Lave no doubt that certain definite arrange ments have been come to by the two monarchs in regard to the formation of a South German Bund. Whatever may have been the doings of the monarchs at Salzburg, and whatever may be the ultimate results of the conference, it may be said with the utmost safety that, while they have mended matters in no par ticular, they have been successful in aggra vating the situation, tmd hastening on a con flict which many already saw was inevitable. It had been a difficult thing to discover a sufficient casus belli. The warlike feeling be tween Prussia and France was well known; but few could see on what pretext war could be commenoed. We cannot say that a pretext has yet been discovered; but we can and do say that the points of actual contact have been brought dangerously near. Feeling has been embittered and intensified to a degree that threatens to defy all power of restraint. War between the two peoples has already com menced in the journals. Only a little more provocation is necessary, and the pen will give place to tne swora. Were it not lor the terrible consequences inseparable from modern warfare, we should feel tempted to say the sooner the conflict takes place the better. Everywhere the suspense is lelt to bo painful. In financial and commercial centres it is not only painful but disastrous. The threatening attitude on the one hand and the defiant attitude on the other, have been so long maintained that the report of the first cannon would be felt to be a relief. If the contest can be confined to Prussia and France alone, it will certainly be one of the shortest, sharpest, and most decisive which the world has yet seen. That it will be so confined we have only small hope. Austria, we fear, has, for some reason yet unknown, allied herself to France. Prussia, as a neces sary consequence, will lean upon Russia, and Russia will not refuse her help. Fear alone prevents Italy from joining the enemies of her former benefactor, but now rather exacting patron. The war, therefore, will be European in its dimensions. It will be carried on until it is determined which of all the existing powers is entitled to the pre-eminenoe and the lead. This is really the question now at issue; nothing but war can settle it; and directly it is settled, the first step will have been taken towards that grand confederation of the nations which is to be the characteristic of the Europe of the future. For a time the rival claimants of this supremacy will be more or less nume rous; but each suocessive struggle will reduce their number; and in one central government, whether monarchical or republican circum stances will determine, Europe will be driven by a stern neoessity at once to look for protec tion and to concentrate her strength.
