ously BUccumb with tho.confesston tlint
notfitr restoration to power, but u for
mal chHiigo in our fundamental laws
ntonoxan bring relief nnd reformation?"
Gin the Constitution Tinkers answer
this question? Reading Gazette.
It U HBUfllcIont answer to tho latter
question to say that it would not Iirtvo
been asked if tbo nstuto Interrogator
had known, what any body could liavo
told him, that tho Democratic party is
n party of progress, Hint it stands ever
ready to correct whatever evils arise,
and Its history proves its capacity for
that work.
Our musty old fathers, when tlio
British Government oppressed them,
considered "a formal change in tiioir
fundamental laws" necessary, and thoy
niadosucb Change ns they deemed would
meet tho wants t)f their times, at the
cannon's mouth and tho sword's point.
When they found that articles of con
federation between tho rebel Colonies
were necessary for the common weal,
thoy established them. When changed
circumstances rendered theso ineffect
ive for all tho good desired, thoy abol
ished them and adopted a Constitution
in their stead.
When tho great struggle between
Jeffehson and Hukii demonstrated
that that Constitution-was defcctlvo in
one particular, tho Democracy of the
day amended the Constitution and cured
tho defect.
Tho great and noblo men who carried
Pennsylvania safely through tho Revo
lution, saw a necessity for establishing
a Constitution for tho State. In 1700
thoy framed and established one which,
nt that tiny, wa3 superior to any thing L
of the kind known on this continent or
to tho world. In 1S38, under changed
circumstances, tho people deemed
amendment necessary, nnd tnailo and
ndoptod such as suited them.
In 1870. tho frauds at our elections,
tho corruptions of our Legislatures, the
partial dl-frauchisement of nearly ono
half of our people, the i'ldlffi-rence of
voters, the rascality pervading the
wholo machinery of government, and
tho weakness of the grand old Com
monwealth in resisting Federal usurpa
tion, besides other evils of first ralo
magnitude, again require new Constitu
tional provision, protection and guaran
ty, and 'he Dfinocratlc party is tho fit
ting power to efftct tho substantial and
necessary reforms. Without "formal
chango in our fundamental laws" it is
idle to attempt tho required reforms, for
It is never safu to build a houso on tho
Bund or a castlo on a rickety foundation
or n monument on an up-turned tub.
That is this "tinker's" answer to the
inquiry of tho Heading Adfer.
Cor.. Founey offers tho Washington
Chronicle for sale, "tho necessity of giv
ing personal attention to tho increasing
business" of ids Philadelphia Press bo
lug assigned ns tho causo. Wo suspect
tho waning prospects of Radicalism to
be at tho bottom of It. Wo are, how
ever, glad of tho change, for whatever
people may say pr think of Col. Fou

Important battles havo been almost
constantly occurring in .France. Tho
French "army of tho Loire," tho best
In tho field, has been defeated with
heavy loss to both sides. Tho Prussians
succeeded in cutting it in two, but the
largest- tllvlsion having been heavily
reinforced again ofrerod battle, nnd af
ter a most gallant struggle, was again
compelled to retreat. The fragment of
French government at Tours has been
compellrd to abandon that placo. It
professes to havo established itself at
Bordeaux, but is probably scattered to
tho winds. Paris has boon formnlly
summoned to surrender, and thero Is
probability that the bombardment will
soon commence.
Prussia is nbout taking possession of
Luxumberg. Tho conference of tho
great powers is to nssomble In January
to settle the Russian quest Inn. Tho latter
power appears haughty and belligerent.
Conquers hat not yet got fairly to
work and probably will not until nftor
the holidays. On tho 12th tho House
passed the bill to repeal t no tpnuro of
ofilco net, by a voto of 125 yeas to 2o
pays. On tho same day, a negro olect
od n member from South Carollni was
sworn In. A bill abolishing tlio ofllces
of Admiral and VIfoAdmIr.il passed
the ijoifo without a divl-lon. A reso
lution In favor or abolishing the inter
nal revenue system, except as to whis
key and tobacco, was parsed by u vote
of 10 to 5, uihI then the subject was re
ferred to tho coinmittco of ways and
weans, The bill nbollshlng tho frank
ing privilege also pissed, but there is
not tho least intention of adopting It
finally.
Hon. D, J. Mokhemi, of tho Cam
brla district, refuses to contest the seat
of his Buecrasful opponent, who defeat
cd him by 11 votes. In n letter to i
friend lio says ho would "spurn to hold
tho gent" nt tho cost of hunting up
few illegal votes, when tho district
ought to lmvo given him 1200 majority,
It la stated by the Muncy Luminary
that Mr. AitMSTKON'a also refuses to
contest, on tho same ground. This con
duct is honorable and manly, and is
refreshing in these days of Radical out
rages.

Ono distinctive feature of The Galaxy
is, the bright sharp way in which it is
edited. It has gathered around itself a
staff of the mo-it popular Vrlters in
every department. It has been tlio
custom for magazines to furnish the
public with tho best selection they
could make from such articles as wero
hent to them for publication. Tho day
for this hns past, and the editor of a first
class magazitio has a very different duty
to perform from reading manuscript,
and culling out tho best. He must cre
ate. Ho must map out tho stylo of
magazine ho wishes to produce, and
then soek out tho most competent per
sons to prepare articles upon subjects
on which tho publicdesiretoread. This
important change in the requirement of
magazine litorature, The Galaxy was
tho first to discern, if it did not Itself
creato tbo chango. In tho January

a convention to reviso and nmond their
Stato .Constitution, it is to bo hoped
that tho apportionment of members to
that convention will secure a fair and
equitablo representation to each of tho
great political parties which dlvido tho
Stato; and that tlio rights of minorities
will bo respected as well as those which
majorities never fail to assert.
Thu reform convention being thus
organized, on principles of justice, will
bo apt to deliberate and to act In a spirit
of moderation and fairness, indispcnsi-
bly necessary to the wisofolution of tho
mportant and grave matters submitted
to its consideration ; and will not fail
to command tho pabllo respect, always
cheerfully awarded to honest men la
boring for tho good of their country."
Tho great nud absorbing question
which will first present itself to tho nt
tention of the convention, will bo LVec-
toral Itejorm! so loudly invoked from
overy quarter.
Iu treating tills most important sub
ect, I would beg leave tosuggest to tho
convention, tho great importance of
going back to a critical analysis of tlio
great fundamental principles ot popular
representation. In tho various forms of
representative governments which have
loft their trace on tho records of nnclont
nud modern history, tho Idea of popu
lar representation was more or less de
veloped. But it is an astonishing fact
that, down to tho present day, tlio tho
ory of popular representation has not
hem fully carried out. The Law-makers
of tho pant never went beyond tho rep
resentntion of majorities, whicli seemed
to them sufficient to carry out tlio great
purpose of freo government ; and
which, indeed, under tho restraint of a
general sense of high moral obligations
bridged over the Inherent defects of tho
organic law. But when the exnggera
Hon of partisan heat paralyzed tho
promptings of conscience, tho tyranny
of majorities becamo more intollornblo
than tho worst imperial despotism. Ono
great wrong followed another, in rapid
succession, nnd tlio political condition
of oppressed minorities became less
bearablo In points of hslplossneai nnd
degradation, than that of the Onfortu
nato Helots, nmong tho stern nnd un
relenting Spartans.
Tho iron rulo of majorities, both, in
our federal and Stnto Legislatures, I
no longer in harmony with tho spirit of
freo republican government. It has do.
generated into tho lawless practlco of
freebooters, associated together to plun
der, ou tho principle that might makes
right; and thus our Legislators indulgo
in tho perpetration of crimes which,
committed olsowhcre, would surely In-
troducothem to a long Indulgence In
"the sober second thouyht" Iu tho cool
Ing seclusion of i Penitentiary l
Theso atrocious examples of brazen
lawlcsnoss, on tho part of law maters
necessarily tells upon tho actions of
their political adherents; and It is no
wonder that tho moat ingenious swin
dies, frauds, and, sometimes, open vio
lencu aro resorted to, at tho elections, to
pervert and falsity tlio truo will of tho
people. Thoso deadly ovlls, being then
traceable to tho defect In our organ le
law, which Ignores tho representation
of minorities, I know of no radical
cure for thoso ovlls, other than the truo
Republican system of cumulative or
freo v itlng, so nbly and forcibly udvo
cated by Senator Buckalew, who late
ly succeeded in introducing tho nppll
cation of it, with such happy results, in
several municipalities of ills Senatorial
dlctrlct.
It is then to be hoped that upon the
duo consideration of this gruvo subject
the reform convention will see the ne
cessity of carrying out the principles of
popular representation to tho fullest ox
tent of its meaning, giving to minor!
ties, n well ns to majorities, n fair and
oqullablo representation, In tlio councils
f tho nation, proportionate to their
actual numbers. Wo may then hope
lor Just Representation ; for pure elec
tions, becauso rascnllly will bo of no
avail ; nnd for pure men to represent
s, becauso tho action of minorities will
eact on majorities nnd vice versa,
ro this great constitutional reform, I
would suggest, ns further necesmry
checks upon tho LegUlatlvo branch of
tho Government, tho following consti
tutional provisions First, the offering
of a brlbo to a Senator, Representative
or public Executive officer, or tho re
ceiving of such bribe, either In money
or other valuable eoii'lileratlon, includ
ing free Railroad passes, by any of tho
foresaid officers, to bo declared a Peni
tentiary offence, for which nny of tho
offenders nforesaid, shall bo llabio to
trlnl beforo tho Supremo Court of tho
Commonwealth-; and upon convlctlun
hall ho condemned to solitary confine
ment In thu Penitentiary for not I"ss
than ono year nor more than five, with
out tho benefit of executive pardon ;
ind over after disabled from holding u
public ofilco of houor or profit.
This clauso may bs deemed, by our
modern philanthropists, as harsh and
nconslstent with tho dignity of gravo
legislators and hiuh executive officers.
But, whatever may bo tho opinion of
theso iiinlablo spiitlment'ilUts, (whoso
hilly occupation is to cheat tho gallows
of Its dues, and to tear down tho pales
which fence -oclety against tho inroads
of crime), tho bitter experience of tlio
past makes this proposed constltu
tiounl provision an absolute necessity
For it will bo readily conceded, by any
rational mind, that,, to consign to the
Penitentiary ti few treacherous und
perjured scoundrels who havo betrayed
their trust nud'tlielreo-.stltuPiits would
bo infinitely more just than to deprive
the people of tho many blessings of u
freo representative government I An
other feature In this proposed iimeml
ment which should commend itself to
our Reform Convention, is, that it will
break down tho power of tho most for
midablo Legislative lings, depriving
them of the impunity they havo hero
toforo enjoyed, und reducing them to i
common level with their fcllow-citi
sens, beyond tho penalties of tho law.
It may bo objected by some thought
ess and inexperienced poisons, that the
acceptance by a member of tho Legls
latum, of such a trlllo as a freo railroad
pass, is not sufficient causo for Infliction
of tho heavy penalties hero proposed
Hut this plausible objection will loso its
apparent forco before a plain, unv.ir
nished statement of tlio facts as thoy
now exist
Within tho last fow years tho mem
hers of the legislature have, with but
rnro exceptions, reeoived from certain
railroad companies freo passes, not only
for themselves individually, but niso as
many for tlio uso of their political nd
lierents, as they may have chosen to
apply for. By this wholesale dlstribu
tion of freo passes tho Representative
are not only bought, but they are en
nbled to reward tho whippers in who
havo secured their nominations nnd
elections nnd to brlbo them into a con
titiunncoof similar cervices for the fu
lure ; and thus, this doublo action sy,s
tern of bribery and corruption is no
confined to our halls of legislation, but
reaches every corner of thy Common
wealth 1 But this is not nil. Theso fre
passes havo tit moralized tho habits o
Legislators who now-u-days do not hold
their sessions at Ilarrisburg more than
three days in tho week. Tho rest of
their time, they may bo found lu rail
road ears or in Philadelphia and other
towns.Jittiketing and concocting witl
the parties Interested those legl-datlv
abominntion.Twhich rob tho people and
annually dlsgrnco tho statutes of the
Commonwealth
It seems to mo that an impartial cqii
sideration of all thoso facts, which ur
In no wise exaggerated, should satisfy
nny thinking man, that tliotimcndinen
to tlio constitution hero proposed is not
only just and proper, but that it should
bo followed by another clauso provid
ing that tho issuo of free passes by any
railroad company shall .work a forfeit
uro of its chnrtcr. "Junius."
