As the curse of private aud sj>e cial legislation, which heretofore took up the entire session of the two houeca, will be wiped out. the next legislature will have ample lime to attend to its legitimate duties in legislating for the people at large. The laws that will hereafter be made, will be general and applicable to every portion of the state, and to each aud every oitisen alike. This and the curb that has been placed upon liceutious legisla tion, such as has disgraced Pennsyl vania for years, is aloue auflioieut to entitle the new constitution to ap proval bv the ciliuus ot the stale, tor the days of rings, legislative jobWra and borers, in this stale at least, are numbered. The ring, iu Philadelphia and Pittsburg —with some of its tools scat tered here aud there, through other portion* of the state, —wi.l make streuto is efforts to defeat the new constitution, at the S|>ecial eleciiuu, in December, so that they may have an other session to run riot at Harris burg. But, we thiuk the houest |*-o ple of the state will understand their duty, and give the ring its death-blow, now when they have it in their power, and provide that the opening of the next session of our state legislature •bail be under new oaths, new safe guards, and a new order of things in general. It seems to us that the |>eople of Centre county, in voting so strongly to rc-elect Mr. Orvis, had in view the importance of the next session, and were equally impressed with the im portance of sending a tutu there who suited the occasiou. We can rest assured that any unsound provision, in any general law that comes up be fore that body next winter, will not escape the sound and quick judg ment of our talented representative, and that, as iu the last session, his influence, ability, and boldness, will leave its impress for good upon the laws enacted. Under the new constitution the vocation of the ring is gone, and we impatiently await the meeting of the next session as oue of the utmost im portance, because its enactments will be under new regulations and an over hauling of old thing* under obligation* which corrupt members of the senate and bouse heretofore shirked and avoided. In the formation of new counties, the new Constitution will make pro vision that puts a damper on the jiew county project of Penn and Brush vailejs, so often agitated by tho ptople ou this side. The new Constitution provides, Section ]. No new counties shall be established which shall reduce any connty to ie than four hundred square miles, or to leu than twenty thousand inhabitants; nor shall any county be formed of leas area, or con taining a iese population, nor shall any line thereof pass within ten miles of the county seat of soy coun ty proposed to be divided. We think the (even counties on this side would bare the square miles, but not the population required, > as the census of 1870 shows the popu lation to be only 11,941, viz, Fergu son 2111, Gregg 16-36, Haines 1354, Harris 1999, Miles 1325, Penn 1158, j Potter 2358. Tbeu sgaio our line would pass within ten miles of Belle fonle, provided agaiust in the section. t Brown's Republican ha* not recov- j ered its speech since the election—it! is stupidly silent all the time. Hope the editor will recover, aud be able to "Explain." The Tuten Ilepublicau will nextj week please give the cause of tbe ; present financial ruin—it should be able to find that the financial policy of the radicals was a good oue, and that the trouble is caused by the democrats. Let it study one of Mor ton's Ohio speeches for the facts. Just before the Ohio election. Sena tor Morton was traveling that Stale, making speeches, and blabbering al together about the blessings the coun try was reaping from toe profound financial policy of the Grant adminis tiation, and putting down in glowing colors tbe prosperous condition of the country, and telling his hearers how nicely the radicals got the money mat ters of the oouatry to work. Oue morning Morton awakes and he hears of a crash, he hears that things have badly gone to smash, and oh, h>w great was his own collapse, it took the gas all out of him, there was noth ing more for him to say, and he sneak-, ed off to his home in Indiana, and has not been heard of since. His wind bag was broken just like the banks, and be too suspended—just like the Jay Cookes, and other radical Bpecu 1 lators. That financial policy of Grant's administration was a wonder ful smasher, for it smashed Marlon's gas-bag along with the batik*. New York, November 9.

I During the Saturday meeting of the (.'nslitutiounl Convention, M Dallas offered resolution, which | was adopted, tuihortut-g the Presi i dent of the Convention, upon the re quest <>f n majority of tbe Executive Committee, to call ft specialmotion il the Convention at Harrisbnrg, at any time, upon five days' notice lo dele gates at their respective places of residence, lu explanation and defence of this resolution Mr. Dallas stale I that one of tbe Philadelphia e'ecinm coaiuibsiouers bad suggested to bun that it was possible, and more than possible, that difficulties might at :• in carrying out the purposes of then api>oititnieiit, hence the necessity !• die resolution, ami also that it hstl bean prophesied on the floor that the ordinance for a special electim oouhi not be lawfully executed iu Pbila It I phia, and dial it would be interfered with.' If the body could be convened in an emergency, it could take coguitance of this inteiference. Mi Hav agieeil with Mr. Dallas, ami thought the Convention ought not to. adjourn over the election without making provision for an inteiieuing meeting A special session might notj be neccesary, but the resolution should |>aa* its a precautionary uu f sure. , Tbe open threat* made In the leadersot tbe "King" iu this city to' defeat the new Constitution by any I means and at all haisrds, lully wairanted Mr. Dallas in oflVnng auu urging tbeadoplioii of hi resolution The Convention is not euly bound u> fbrui a Coustitution and submit it lo the people, but also to see that a lair, election is held, so far as they have tbcpowtrlo reach that |H>int. No one Will deny that these dunes art I incutubeul upou the member* of tbe IConvention uuder their oath*. All their work is not tlone wlien they sul*. Mit a draft of a Constitution to the people of Pennsylvania. Another mo>t important duty is to be jwri t tued thai of seeiug that all tucu eulilleti to. vote are accorded that right aud iu ( add it ten, that the votes are honestly] counted aud a fair return made. In order to reach such results tbe C.n | ventiou has prepared a plau tor thej city of Philadelphia, which mots the] approbation of all fair, honest mn.j That plan the "Ring"are determinedj shall not bring forth tbe intended fruits, aud heuce the necessity for the adoptiou of nieaus bv which the Con vention cau bo calltKf together, if necessarv, to thwart the scheme# and machinalioua of the "King leaders and their desjrerale aiders ami abet tors. Such a meeting as that proposed ami action by the Convention, will have a powerful effect upon the gaug of bad men who are determined to make a raid upou the Constitution, if that can be done without danger to their per sonal liberties. These men lire ami make money by debauching the ballot-box. They rob the {>eopie of their voles, aud put meu in position , who are not elected this is their trade . The new Constitution will break up this class of business by makingfair, elections in Philadelphia. It the 1 Constitution is adopted, the "Ring"] will be a thiug of the past, ami round trs, repeaters ballot-box stuffcrs ami. return alterers no more iu demand. It is therefore essential that honest men should have a free, fair opportu nity to vote for and against the Con stitution, that the "King" should be ! prevented from plying their iufatuou* . trade at the coming elections on tbe Constitution as they have at all tbe j j elections of this city for the pa.-t ten ! years. _ , . . ! The resolution of M. Dallas is in-' tended to make a fair election in Philadelphia entirely certain by suchi action on the part of the Convention as may be necessary to carry out the j special plan adopted for this local.ty. The people approve of the movement j and it will hang like the sword of Daraocies over the heads of the "men I who declare tbe Convention must and shall be defeated by any means.— Age. The Jay Cooke and Co. Failure. 5 The importaut fact haa been dis covered at Washington that #200.000 in the Pacific Railroad second ruort gage hoods, better known as Govern ment currency sixes, have within a few da\s been quietly deposited with the Secretary of the Treasury by Jn) Cooke A Co., or some one in their interest, to secure the Government against all possible loss of the 8187,- 000 which the latter had on deposit with tbe First National Bank of I this city at the lime of itsfailur \ but fur which no security had been exacted a* required by Jaw. It will be recollected that the Government had on deposit at that hank at the time of] the failure of the Coo ken #287,000,. #IOO,OOO uf which wore secured by the deposit of bonds for that amount | with the Treasurer. The large difference it has further appeared, | wal obtained without the lawful security within six days of the date of the failure of the hank This fact has reflected severely on the Secretary, who is responsible and a Congressional investigation has been promised, but to relieve tbe Department tbe addi tional security has hern filed, and the fact is not denied. Now the inquiry is very general here, "Wbt re did the money come from ?" If it has been; furnished by the Cookes the creditors here are anxious to know it, as they { do not believe in the Government thus , becoming a preferred creditor in that or auy other way. I, What The Salary-Grab Hmh lout Tbe Country. The estimates for the civil etahli*h meut of tbe Government, to Congress, this year, exceed those of last year between #1,500,000 aud 82.000,000. This iucrea*e is caused principally h\ the raising of a number of salaries at the lost session. The estimates for the internal Revenue Bureau this year are about 822,000 lets than they were la*t year.

The reverend gen ' (leman immediately proceeded with the ceremony, and the groom answer ed promptly, "Yes.

If the angel thowt John tha mytlery to ba the boaat with toven beadt to bo seven luountnint on which the woman tita it mutt be Roma, for Rome wat the only place where there wat a church in a city built on toven hills -and mark you, it mutt not on ly to trt up in a church, but in a church in a city on teven hill*, or tovon moun tain*. It mutt be in a gospel church, and we know that the Romant wart a got pel church in the dayt of Paul. Whoa wat Ihit Abomination of Denotation to be tot up? No one i|uetlione, mark you, the truth of the hittory, which record* that 7 It,Oik),(lX) of the people el God have fallen under Papal hieraicby. Paul writoe in hi* day that The Cburcb of Rome wat pure, but the power could not bo tel up till the falling away thouid coma. When did thi* como? In the dayt of Conntantine when tbo church became tecu larixed. Whan it became necetaary that whoevvt held office thouid tubecribe to tho Nicene creed then hypocrite* filed the church. That corrupted the church. I f Protident Grant wat Dictator of thi* re public and he made a law that no man thouid hold office but an Adventiat we would bo increated, but not by a pure in create. Those tbat came ip woqld be of fice teak art at tbey were in tho dayt of Conalanlbia, when they made a profession of religion a stepping ttone to place and power. To make any people subscribe to a creed ia a tlop toward apostacy. Our only creed it tbo Bible. No man tkould have any other. We don't have to vote nor pßsifyesolufiqns. Wo love orach otb ei, and obey tho trulb through tha Spirit, i tho spirit that bring* together in harmony | every ton and daugter of Adam that fel- ( low* it. Thia ia all tho organisation we want; we need no other. Our bond of ( union It strong enough. i Tho setting up of this power in tho 1 Sanctuary wat a gradual work. First, the • Church pf flops* becajne incorporated ( with tho Empire, ?but in 619 Jutlinign lha First mad* the tome or book of St. Loo the Creed of the Empire. The Kccleaiat- j ticol law became tho law of tha Empire in ] 619. Conttanline had tet up the abomina- 1 tion, but not the abomination tbat maketh ' desolate. Now thi* power became a deto- j luting power- JJpder the edict of Justini an every ono in three months nm>t accept f tho Catholic 'religion or quit the Empire, o or ba declared in fa ID out and loe all prop erty by confiscation. This was tho abom- c ination of desolation, for it desolated the u Church of God. We challenge any man to refute Iho fact tbat In 688 this Roman A Catholic hierarchy was established in ltome with all tho prerogatives of Justini an,' which established the pope at the only & la wfb I corrector of heretic* Jand ilia head of the biabnp*, with power to put to dealh (he people ef the Church af (lod.

In llevele tieu* we find that the same pw*-r wa* to tread the church under foot fur IBU year*; and then- the Papacy or puwar of tha Pope i* to lo taken away. Hid anything of thia kind take place?

New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten by tbo ablest writer* on ••very subject Printed from now typo and illustrated with Several Thousand Engraving* and Map*. The work originally published under the tide of Til A NOW AMBBICAV CT cut r oniA wat complete in I ACS, tinea which Umo the wide circulation which it hat attained in all ports of tbo United State*, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of tcieaco. !literature, and alt, have induced the edi tor* and publishers to submit it to an ex. act and thorough revision, and to issue a new edition entitled The Anterican Cyclo paedia Within the last ten year* the progress of discovery in every department of knowledge has made e new work of refer ence an imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the In dustrial and useful art* and the conve nience and refiertuaolofsocial life. Grant wars and consequent revolutions have oc curred, involving nation*! change* of pe culiar moment The civil war of our own country, which wat at Its height whoa the, last volume of the old appeared, hat hap pily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity hat been commenced. Large accession* to our geographical knowledge have been made by tna in defatigable explorers of Africa The great political revolutions of the last decade, with tho natural rasult of the lapse of time, have brought Into public view a multitude of new men, whose name* are in every oae's mouth, and of whose live* every ooe ia curious to know the particular*. Great battlss have been fought and Important siages maintained, of which the detail* are as yet preserved only in the newspaper or in the transient publications of the day, hut which ought now to take their place in permanent and i authentic history. In preparing the present edition for the preet. it hat accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to tba latest possible date#, and to fUrnish an accurate account of the most recent dis coveries in science, of every frash produc tion In literature, and of the newest inven tions In the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical event*. The work has keen begun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resource* for carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but •very page' has been printed on new type, running in fact a new Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with ■uch improvements in its composition as have beeasuggested by longer experience and en Urged Knowledge The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pic torial effect, but te five grerter lucidity and force to the explanation in the text They embrace all branches of scirpco and of natural history, and depict the most 'amous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art. as well aa the various processes of mechanics and manufactures Although intended for instruction rather than embellishment, no pains have been snared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome recention as aa fdmlrable feature of the Cyclopaedia, and worthy of iu high char-> acter. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
