WttEXUMsTr MINISTER.
Just as Don Cameron had the job nicely
get nn for his reverend sire to go to Kng
ls.ni! to represent this country at the Court
of St. James, the bottom fell out and Simon
did not go. Don first fixed the l'cunsylva-
nia delegation in Congress, and then got the
President and Secretary Lvarts to partly
promise that the choice of that delegation
should be appointed, and when that choice
was made known it was none other than
their lord and master, Simon. This pill the
ml-ninistration could not swallow. As Sec
retary Kvarts said, they bad no idea that
the Pennsylvania Uepubllcans would resur
rect a man who had been so long dead that
his sou and heir was in possession and en
joyment of the estate.
As the son was dismissed from the Cabi
net with a slap in the face when Hayes was
forming n new one, so the old man is now
shelved in a very similar manner. It must
be throwing painfully apparent to the Came
ron Dynasty that their reigu is drawing ra
Idly to a close.
Mr. John Welsh, of Philadelphia, a gen
tleman whose character is above reproach,
has been appointed by the President to fill
the important uilsslon to Englatid.anil every
good citizen of this Commonwealth will he
pleased to learn of his confirmation by the
Senate. tMr. Welsh Is a Republican, but
the contrast was so strong that all Demo
crats weie delighted to hear of tho rejection
of Cameron for such a man as John Welsh,
lie will do credit to the nation.
ODD FELLOWSHIP.
Dr. Creigb, the celebrated Masonic writer
and orator, at a recent celebration by the
Odd Fellows at Claysville, gave a splendid
address.
At the beginning of his remarks he made
a plea for the liberty of opinion, lie traced
this doctrine from Wm. Penn's time down
to the present a period of two hundred
years and showed it was the corner stone
of American liberty. In tho course of this
argument he bad animadverted quite severe'
ly upon Gov. Jos. Ritner, the Anti-Secret
Society man ot the seventeen Governors who
had presided over Pennsylvania's Interests.
The only argument now in common use
against Odd Fellows, Masons, Ac. the
speaker claimed to be their "secresy." In
meeting this, he brought forward arguments
from the Constitution of the United States
of Pennsylvania, and the laws, and even
claimed a vindication of secrecy by tho acts,
life and teachings of Christ.
He then Bhowed by official statement that
there were 44 Grand Lodges iu the United
Suites under one General Grand Lodge, with
a membership of 433.100 -having 6.9G0
lodges under its control with fund of $4,
183,094, out of which during the year 1S76'
$1,508,085 had been paid for the relief of
the members, their widows and orphans.
That in the State of Pennsylvania there
were 950 lodges with a membership of 102,
178, that during the year 1870 21,541 per
sons bad been relieved by these lodges, 1,110
families provided for, $287,000 paid for the
relief of the Brethren, $14,409 for the relief
of families, $78,788 expended to educate
the orphans and bury the dead. That in
Washington county there wero 19 Lodges
with a membership of 870, all striving no
bly for the principles of the Order, having
a fund of $21,000 fur charity.
Tho largo crowd listened attentively to
the close and went away better acquainted
and with better impressions of tho aims and
objects of secret benevolent associations.

Oliver P. Morton, United States Senator
from Indiana, died at his home in Indiana
polis Thurtday morning, November 1st.
He was a great sullerer ior twelve years,hav

A PEW FACTS AII0UT 0UI! AMENDE!) CON"
STITUrlOX.
In tho formullon of our Government, its
leadeJs, guided by tho past, determined to
make It out of ,11c, and whilst defining tho
powers ol 1 aeh department, and nttnililnn;
prudent limitation, recognized the right
of revolution, or amendment by peaceful
methods. Foreseeing that political changes
would become nrciwary In tho future, tho
Declaration of Indepsndcnce boldly sets forth
"that
henever any form of government be
comes destructive of these ends, it is the
right of tho people to alter or to abolish it,
and to Institute 11 new jftvcriinicnt, laying
its foundation nn such prliiclples.iind organ.
Izlnc its powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to ell'ect their safety
and happiness. Prudence, indece, will dic
tate that governments long established,
should not bo changed for light nnd transi
ent causes and accordingly, all experience
hath Hlinwn.tliat mankind are more disposed
to suller, while evils are cullernble, than to
right themselves by abolishing the forms to
which they arc iicciistimuil. Rut, when a
long train of nhues and usurpations, pur.
suing invariably tho samp object, evinces n
design to reduce them under absolute despot
ism, It is their right, it is their duty.tn throw
olf such government nnd to provide new
guards for their future security.
Tho power of amendment was
therefore incorporated in the Constitution
of 1787. Tho Declaration of Rights of tho
State of Pennsylvania adopted this prlticl
ple.and the constitution provided for amend
ments. The necessity for a change in our State
Constitution had long been apparent, but
was delayed for years by tho jealousy of
parties, and, for n time, by tho excitement
of civil war. The evil of tho undue growth
of corporato influence, special legislation,
assertion of unknown and unprecedented
powers by the different branches of the State
Government, locai mismanagement, and tho
evils of purchased suffrage, all tended to
demand a change iu tho. fundamental law
that would give the people an improved Con
stitution.
Therefore,aftcr many struggles, an act was
passed by the Legislature In lS71,submittliig
to a popular vote the question of calling a
Convention to amend tlieConstitutionofPenn
sylvania. Exclusive of the counties of licav
0. and Klk, (for which wo cannot give tho
vote) tho people decided in favor 1 a con
vention by a vote of 328,354 against 70,
205. Tho Legislature of 1872 therefore met un
der peculiar circumstances. It was their
duty to frame an act to carry into t fleet the
will of the people. The Senate, by the seat
ing of McClure, was a tie, nnd McClure, was
an Independent Republican, holding, as it
were, the balance of power in that body.
The House was nearly two thirds Republi
can and hostile to any change that might
interfere with the existing order of affairs.
Tho main question between tho two
Houses was the basis of representation ; the
majority iu the Senate being in favor of
impartial representation, and,o far as poss.
ble.a non partizan body. The Iloute,on the
contrary , was iolently opposed tnantj amend
ment to the Constitution, and desired to have
tho members chosen from tho gerrymandered
Senatorial and Representative Districts, in
tho manner that Senators aud Representa
tives were chosen. This plan would not only
have secured a lot of low politicians and
ringsters as members of the Conyention,but
would have defeated the object of the people
in securing an amended Constitution. That
portion of the Senate Hill relating to the
selection of members of tho propossed
convention was as follows :
That at tho general election to be held on
the second Tuesday of October next, there
shall bo elected by the qualified electors of
this Commonwealth, delegates to a conven
tion to revise and amend the Constitution
of this Stato ; tho said convention shall con
sist of one hundred aud fifty-two members
to be elected in manner following; twenty
members thereof shall bo elected in the State
at large, as follows : each voter of the State
shall voto fur not more than ten candidates,
and the twenty highest in vote shall bo de
clared elected, and tho other ono hundred
anil tnirly-twoilclegates shall reapportioned
to and elected from tho different Senatorial
districts, 11 formed by the apportionment
act dated May 0, A, D. 1871, of thu State,
four delegates to be elected for each Senator
therefrom, anil in choosinc all district dele
gates each voter shall ho entitled to vote for
one halt the number of members to ho chos
en from his district. And six additional
deleg-iUs shall he chosen from the city of

Sec. 2. The followintr reuulationsshall in
ply to the aforesaid election.to be held nn the
second i uesday ot October next, and tore-
turns ot ine same :
I'irst. I ho said election shall be held and
conducted by the proper election officers of

shall he applicable thereto, and not incon-
sistient with the provisions of this act.
Second. The ticket to he voted for mem

or names of the candidates voted for, not
exceeding the proper number limited as
aforesaid ; but any ticket which shall con
tain a greater number of names than the
number of which the. voter shall bo entitled
to a vote shall bj rejected.'"
The llouso Bill on the s-une point was as
follows ;
That nt an election to be held on tho
second Titesnay of October next, the quali-
ned electors ot this Cutntnonwtalth are hero
by authorized to vote for eelenates to attend
a State convention to review and amend tho
Constitution of the State. The said conven
tion In consist of one hundred and thirty-
three uemhers.to be apportioned and elected
as Senators and Representatives are now by
law apportioned aud elected.
Sec. 2. Tho following regulations shall
apply to the aforesaid election, to ha held
on the second Tueday of October next, and
to returns of the same:
As each House insisted on its Bill, a Com
mittee of Conference was appointed, the
committee on the part of the Senate being
Messrs. Wh!te,Hil!lng(elt,and Iluckalew,and
nn the part of the House Messrs. Cooper,
Starr, and llrockway, Messrs. Iluckalcw
and llrockway representing the. minority in
each Hoiuc.
Tills committee met for tho first time
March 28th 1872, and organized by electit g
Harry White Chairman andO. II. llrockway
Secretary, and then adjourned to meet again
at 8 p. in. that evening. At that meeting,
Mr, Cooper moved, and Mr, Starr seconded
a motion to adopt the House Hill, The mo
lion was lost by a tie voto. Tho same gen.
tlemen then moved to amend the first section
so us to select 100 delegates, as Rupresenta
lives were theu elected, aud 31 delegates at
large, each elector to voto for 17. A division
of the question was called for. The first
dlvisiou was to the election of the 31 dele
gates at large, which was carried by one vote,
Trie second division was lost by a tie vote.
The Committee then adjourned to meet at
81 a. ui., March 29th. At that meeting
Mr. Iiuckalew was abbentund the Committee
adjourned to meet at C p. m. Theu Mr,
Cooper woyed to amend by substituting a
PJEMOCRAT.BLOOaiHBUJtG, COLOMBIA COL NT
bill of his own, which motion was lost. Many
subsequent meetings wero held, but finnlly,
on tho Oil, of April tho Commltleo iinntii
mously agreed to tho following section, which
was adopted, viz :
At tho general election to be held on tho
second Tuesday of October next, there shall
be elected by tho qualified electors of tills

Thus was settled tho important question as
to the selection of delegates to amend oti
Constitution, It is only necessary to ad 1
that tho amended Constitution was ratified
by a popular vote of 252,741 in favor, IPS
591 against it.
The Lesson of Tuesday.
A lieart-pore, despairing Republican party
surrendered Tue-day to its own internal de
moralization, and gave over Pennsylvania to
tho Democracy without a contest. Whether
the majority shall foot up ten or twenty thou
sand it matters not ; tholcsou is tho same
Tho irSea'-urc of tho di-astcr will not add to
the emphasis of tho rebuke tho people Inv
given to tho leaders who seized upon ono of
tho noblo't political organizations tho country
has ever known and degraded it to telfishncss
and greed. Its once fair temples have been
bcslimcd by tho track of the crawling pretend
crs: its patriotic aims havo been subverted to
tho clamor of mean ambition ; its crown 1
been polluted by tho net of the spoiler, nnd
its strong foundations havo been burrowed bv
the mousing placeman. A faithful President
wlto remembered his pledges when called to
the highest civil trust of a free people, and
sought to restore n corrupted government to
purity and fidelity, was met with consumin:
contempt and resentment hy tho.e who claim
ed to havo elected him; and tho verdict of
yesterday in Pennsylvania is but the consider
ate judgment of an honest people demanding
honest public servants. Thus has Pennsy
vania spoken, and sho has spoken bccaun
her people mean to be hoard in defense of
their own great patrimony. Tho Stato candi
dates voted for were but straws on the cur
rent. They were homo to victory or crushed
in defeat without regard to their personal
merits, for tho issues were mightier than the
the claims of any mere individuals. AM were
competent and worthy, and Judge Trunkey,
Colonel Schell and Colonel Noyes are victor:
bccauo they were the only agents througli
whom tho pooplo of tho Keystono State cotit
speak in declaring their own omnipotence
When such Republican strongholds as Phila
delphia and Allegheny falter, and such men
as Judge Stcrrett, Colonel Passmore and
Captain Dart aro swept down by tens of thou
sands, under a banner that onco inspired the
subhmcst patriotism and ;that has achieved
the grandest triumplis in tho history of man's
struggles for man, there is a meaning iu the
ileliverauco that none but the fool-hardy wil
disregard. Pennsylvania is Democratic to
day becau.-o her people could no longer bj
Republican under tho Republicanism of 1877,
aud she will remain Democratic until Rcpub
licanism recalls itielf to its purer purposes and
nobler duties. 7Tm-.
Plain Words.
The following, from the Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle and Constitutionalist hits tho nail
on the head, and is as applicable to one
place as another :
A newspaper is nofc a public institution,
but a purely private enterprise. It is usual
ly printed solely and entirely for the benefit
of its owners. This maybe aselfish,and per
haps, Kordid view of the question, but it is,
nevertheless, the true.and houest one. Thi
obvious fat t is too often overlooked by iu
dividuals seeking the use of its columns, fur
special purposs.
it is a matter oi almost daily occurrence
for a publisher to be solicited to print gra
tuitously certain articles not bearing upon
public, but simply advocating private or
corporate interests.. This is trequen lly done
on tho specious plea thatsuppooed industries
or municipal interests may be ultimately
benefited by the publication, when in reali
ty no effort would be made to secure tho re
sult if personal interests were not at the
foundation of the transaction.
We are now speaking of covert advertise
ments, articles written as interesting read
ing matter, but shrewdly intended to put
money in tho purses of tho individuals or
corporations seeking their publicity. This,
of course, does not cover great and grave
juestions of public policy, which every hon
est and independent journalist will fearless-
Jy discuss without considering whouiay be
pleased or ollended, or what effect his course
may have upon the question of patronage.
Tho point we desire to make is that the tome
rules which apply to general buiiiess should
be invariably extended to nowspapers. "The
advertising columns of a newspaper are ex
actly like the wares upon a storekeeper's
shelves, and it is from their proper and legi
timate uso that the publisher, in connection
with the sale of his paper, obtains tho reve
nues which enable him tnisstio his journal.
Cost of tno National Utinnl.
There never was a State institution that
aff irded so poor a return for its cost as tho
Pennsylvania militia under its present or
ganization. Within the last three years the
ordinary expenses of the militia, as the re
ports of the Auditor General show, have
been upwards of $376,000, They have been
increasing at a galloping rate with each suc
cessive year. In 1874 they were $48,771 87,
J875 they increased to 102,915 44. Last year
they aroso to $227,005 64. Tills is exclusive
nf the expenditures for tho militia during
tho Susquehanna and Luzerne riots. It is
exclusivo, too, nf the expense of maintain
ing the offico of Adjutant General, which is
on an average upwards of Slo,00u a year
Thus the total ordinary expenses of tho mil.
itary establishment for tho last three years
has amounted to upwards of $120,000,' The
militia expenses of the present year, which
havo not yet been audited, will exceed the
cost of former ytiri.Jlarruburg J'ulriot,
The rcturus wero not received iu time to
enable us to prepare a tablo of the full voto
of tho county for this iiiuo. Next week wo
will give complete official icturns.
