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

Land Office, a Superintendent of Publio In
struction, an Auditor-General, and an Attorney-General,

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

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

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.

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;

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

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

that "the controversy between the two divi
sions of the Republican party in California is

and the radicals unite their forces, it is quite
possible that Mr. Uaifht may be the next Gov.

j vi 1 i V? ""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.
Stoitino thb "Subsidy." It ia rumored in
