THE NEW CONSTITUTION. The Constitutional Convention has adjourned over the hot months and the members have gone home to mingle with tbeir constituents. The new constitution is yet in an incomplete form, although a vast amount of work has been expended on it/ It is said, however, that it can be finished in a few weeks’ hard work ifter the Convention re-assem bles. From present appearances the Convention intends to submit to the people almost an entirely new Constitution, instead of a few amendments to the old, and in this matter, we think, have erred. There are too many changes proposed at one time to obtain a majority in fa vor of' all of them, since each change from the old will encounter some opposition, which, when com bined, will make a formidable pow er. The people called the Conven tion into existence for the purpose of correcting some abuses of spe cial legislation, and it has gone much further than was anticipated, and proposed some changes that will not likely be popular. The article on Flection, Suffrage and Representation, as it passed second reading, modifies the present law materially. It requires every to have been a citizen at least thirty days before election. Now there is no limitation, and foreign born persons can be naturalized up to the very day of election. This change will doubtless be beneficial, and do away with that fruitful source of evil, fraudulent naturali zation papers. The thirty days will give time to discover and pre vent frauds of this character. The time of residence of the voter in the election district ha& also been in creased from ten to thirty days, and the payment of the tax required sixty days before the day of elec tion, instead of on the same day as now. The change of time of resi dence will tend to make more diffi cult those colonization frauds, as it will vastly increase the expenses of carrying them on, but the limita tion of sixty days for the payment of the tax will be a great inconveni ence to some, and is a weak and un popular feature of the amendment. The secret ballot clause, although changed considerably its original form, on second reading, still is yet objectionable. We would 'throw around the ballot box all the safe guards needed to se cure a free and independent bal lot, but this change destroys the absolute secrecy of the ballot and therefore tends to restrict its free exercise. The original form required the ballot to be endorsed by the voter and was rejected on second reading because the endorse ment would destroy the secrecy of the ballot, but we think the Same ob jection, though not quite so strong, can be made to the present clause as amended. It the ballots are num bered and the numbers correspond with the numbers of the electors on the polls, what is to hinder the publication of an elector’s vote, es pecially if the knowledge is politi cally important? There is one more safe guard, and an important one which will meet with more fa- Tor. The section provides that the Court may, upon the petition of a certain number of citizens, setting ibrth that there is danger of fraud in some election districts appoint over* seers composed of men of different political parties, who will settle points that may vise in the election board, and thus prevent corrupt election officers from re ceiving illegal votes. The above are the changes pro posed to guard the ballot box. We do not think that the change, as a whole, is much improvement upon our present law. The security of the free ballot depends on the peo ple in each election district in any event, \ SPANISH DISORDERS. The Spanish Republic seems to be in a state of chronic disorder, and late news from Spain does not afford much encouragement for the friends of democracy to hope that the situation of affairs will be much better. Telegraph dispatches indi cate that in all the departments of Government and throughout the pro vinces there is great confusion of ideas and uncertainty as to the fu ture. We are unable to keep" np with the many changes in the Min istry. New ones are formed then remodeled with such rapidity that only those familiar frith the current events in Spain can be expected to fnlly understand them in all their relations, so as to be able to predict their sequences, In all the confu sion it seems reasonably clear, how ever, that "Republican ideas of va rious shades are combatting with the old order of things and have gained a temporary advantage thus far. The Carlist re-action is rather forced by ambitious med dlers, and no doubt has a powerful support outside of Spain. Progress never goes backward, and we are inclined to believe that whether Senor Pi-y-margall is successful in forming a new ministry or not, or whether, when formed, it possesses the confidence ol the people, the Republic will not die in Spain, for it has inherent strength and the Carlist movement must yet be made to feel it. We can hardly realize the mixed struggle for the suprema cy that is going on there. The va rious antagonistic elements that are in the struggle—but really there are only two sides—the old and new or der. The Republic has been and is in possession of power, and not by accident either, bat through the ex pansion and grofrth of Republican ideas among the people. Shall its career suddenly be arrested and its power destroyed ? A reaction may take place, but it will be temporary. Old ideas are not dislodged in a day, nor will they yield up the scep ter without a desperate effort to re tain it When an appeal to arms is taken, and the combat deepens, those ideas . that accord with the progressive tendencies of other na tions will usually be. found to be su perior and victorious. We contin ue hopeful and await the perma nent establishment of the Spanish Republic. Republicanism is cer tainly io the auyiiot only here but on the Continent, and old things are becoming new there as well as here. Legislative Conference of this district, including the counties ot Butler, Beaver and Washington, met at the Monongahela House, Pittsburgh, on Wednesday of last week. The following gentlemen composed the Conference: Capu C. U. Meypr, John McCarty, Esq., and H. J. Speyerer, Esq., of Bea ver ; Henry Pillow, Dr. A. W. Crawtord, and Capt. Henry Tim blin, of Butler; Dr. J. W. Alexan der, William Kidd, and John Hall, of Washington. The morning session was spent in an interchange of views, the af ternoon was devoted to work, and resulted in the nomination of Hons. Samuel J. Cross, of Beaver; A. L. Campbell and David McKee, of Butler; Jonathan Allison ot Wash ington. We are sorry that Capt. J. K. Billingsly of Washington could not have been nominated also, but adherence to established rules made it impossible, and he will have to wait. The ticket nominat ed is a good one, and we have no doubt will receive the hearty sup port of the entire district. The Legislative and Senatorial Conference fori the election of Leg islative and Senatorial delegates to the State Convention, met at the same time and place. The con ferees were as follows: Capt. Geo. W. Hamilton, C. K. Chamberlin and J. H, Christy of Beaver, and three other gentlemen from each of y v / THEEADIQIL; the other counties ,BtUler Md Wash iogton.

He Is a staunch believer in the old adage, “Honesty is the best; policy.” —A most sensible view of affairs is taken by the Norwich Bulletin when it remarks that the first constitutional amendment needed in Connecticut is one prohibiting the Legislature from electing its own members to judicial or other State offices. —A baker’s dozen of soreheads in War ren county, dissatisfied because they were not allowed to dictate the nomination of the Republican party there, have issued a call for a “People’s Convention,” to meet on the 15tb pros, for the purpose of nom> inating an independent ticket. —We are glad to give currency to the report that Hon. John B. Packer has re fused to accept his share of the Congress ional salary grab. Though this act is only in keeping up with his vote against the grab bill, we nevertheless chalk it down to Mr. B’s credit with extreme pleasure. —Senatorial conferees from Blair, Som erset, Bedford, and Fulton elected July 15lh D. W. Mullin delegate to the State Convention. Bedford and Fulton elected John J. Cromer representative delegate. Both weie unanimously instructed to vote for Hon. Samuel Henry for State Treasurer, and both are friends of Wm. H.

Congressmen who expect this storm to blow over will be wanting to know, next year, if anybody heard anything drop. —A Missouri paper states that there is another new political organization spring ing np in that section, which already numbers 260,000 members. Its object is to repudiate all the bonds issued by coun ty, town and city governments to aid the building of railroads, and to seize and di vide the lands appropriated to those “un popular monopolies.” —Washington authority has it that a circular is to be issued at once, calling a meeting of Northern and Southern Dem ocrats at White Snlphnr Springs, Virgin ia, on August 4th. The Information stops there rather provokingly, and don’t vouchsafe a word as to what Democrats are to meet and what they are to meet for.

West Tennessee and Western Kentucky is being discussed with consid erable animation by the newspapers pub lished in the section interested. A con vention is to be held'at Jackson on tbe 29th!Inst, when delegates are to be pres ent from every city, town and civil dis trict within the limits of the proposed new State. The general sentiment seems to be in favor of the movement. —A dispatch from San Francisco, dated July 19, says: The action of the Republican Conven tion in refusing to require candidates for the legislature to pledge themselves to give their views on the questions of railroad monopolies, reducing railroad tariffs and currency, causes severe comment, and shows clearer than ever that Billy Carr, Sanford’s agent, controls the majority of the Convention. This gives strength to the tax-payer’s independent movement. —“lndex,” the Philadelphia corre spondent of the Venango Citizen, writes; So far as 'Philadelphia is concerned, we are satisfied that she desires her delegates at the State Convention to support Rob ert W. Mackey for State Treasurer. lie is the favorite with the Republicans of this city, and of the Commonwealth. His official career gives satisfaction to all but the “grumblers,” who are always to be found iu every party. His nomination, we believe, is assured, and with that his triumphant election is as certain as that the second Tuesday of October next will dawn upon the freemen of our Common wealth. —At Fort Dodge, lowa, Saturday, a County Convention was held to select celegates to the State Anti-monopoly Convention to be held at Des Moines, AogUst 13tb. About three hundred farm ers were present. Resolutions were Adopted denouncing monopolies of all kind* and politicians and official corrup tion; demand the revision and reduction of the tariff and declare that both politi cal parties have failed to satisfy the hon est sense of the people, and have forfeited their title to the respect and confidence of all honorable citizens, and that they turn their backs upon both without fear and without remorse. —The Venango, Pa., Citizen says that for the Republican nomination for Su preme Judge, “Hon. I. G. Gordon, of Jefierson, is undoubtedly the choice of Western Pennsylvanja, and he wilt also receive strong support from the centra] and northern portion of the State. Sis chances just now look flattering. In the east, Judge Butler, of Chester, and Judge Paxsoc, of Philadelphia, are named for the position. Great opposition is mani fested by the lawyers of the State against Paxson. They do not consider him com petent for the Supreme Bench. The com bination which was reported la have been made to secure bis nomination has been dissolved, and there is every prospect that the Convention will be permitted to make nominations for Stite officers with out the assistance or manipulation of rings.” —The Democratic Executive Commit tee, of Philadelphia, have issued-an ad dress from which we clip the following : Tour committde recommend, then, that we enter the campaign as a separate and distinctive organization, and make the fight, whether for victory or for defeat. Who shall be the standard-bearers remains for you |n jour respective divisions and wards to decide at the primary elections in September. But this much we may state, that if you expect your committee to organize and carry out a successful canvass, see to it that you select none but the best men for the positions to be filled. It is not sufficient that the candidate is a Democrat. He must be representative in his character, and command the confidence and support of the taxpayer, irrespective of party. He most be selected, not be cause he seeks the position, but because the position requires bis services. —The Republicans of Allen county, Ohio, held their Nominating Convention last Saturday. The City Hall was com pletely packed, and tae best of feeling prevailed- The following ticket was nominated: Representative—Lewis Jen nings; Commissioner —Wm. £ Watkins; Infirmary Director —J. L. B. Leatberman; Treasurer—Richard T. Hughs ; Prosecut ing Attorney—P. B. Johnson ; Surveyor —George H. Kephart; Sheriff—Wm. Mfi ler. It is hoped to elect Miller Sheriff, and Hughe’s re-election is conceded, while the interest manifested by the Con vention shows that the Allen county Republicans are alive to their interests. Tour correspondent has talked with sev eral prominent Democrats of this county, gome claim that the “new departure” is going to sweep over the country like a tidal wave. Upon the otter hand, it is said the movement is very thin, and does not take at all with the "old timers 0 of Allen county, i and as a project of Mr. Caanlngham’s to get the first or second place on the ticket at Bridkerhoffs Con* vention. The Democracy held a meeting last night to njominate twenty-one dele gates to the District at Wspa koneta. —The Butler Herald, Democratic, pays the following, handsome and deserved complement to Hon. George K. Anderson, Republican candidate for State Senator In Crawford county: George Kr Anderson, Ssq. f paid ua a visit this week looking in fine trim/ Mr. Anderson has been nominated by the Republicans of Crawford county for the Senate, and we do not hesitate to say that i better nomination oonld not have been made by them. He is the arch itect of his own fortune—intimate with the oil inter ests of the State, having been an operator for yean in Venango county, and now connected with seventeen producing wells in this county. Honest and upright in bis dealings, he will prove an efficient and vigilent Senator to Whom the public interests can be entrusted with perfect confidence. Although opposed to him in politics, we cote his nomination with pleasure, and as he will be elected,, we feel certain he will never betray the true t confided to him. LOCAL ITEMS. Aobhts.—C. W.

A Fire broke out ia Dr. McLean’s house.Dea ver, on Monday at noon which caused considerable excitement, It was but a short time before,the fire was ex* tioguished and the damage was only a slight hole in the roof.

Probably Saturday night he was in the ball of the jail through the passage way he had made, but had not time before light to complete his plana, and so deferred them to the next night.

There was a little wire ring to the dinner plate, wjiiqb Mr. Oyler appropriated, and this wire h&bentinto a key by which he succeeded in unlock ing bis hand cuffs on Monday, and being in the hall, he made another desperate effort to escape. He climbed up a water pipe some ten feet high, swung himself up and over a balcony that projects be yond the pipe some three feet, and thence climbed up another pipe to the water tank, from which he cut through .of the arched roof, thence made his way 'to the alic of the main building, then in- the observatory, on to the roof, down the lightning rod, on to the ground of the jail yard. At this point of his proceed ings he was discovered and the alarm was given. The little fellow ran on his hands and one foot like a cat, and concealed himself in the coal boose, ftfSSte he was found by the Deputy Sheriff up under the roof; in one corner, sticking like a bat.
