The Huntingdon Journal 3'. R. DURBORROW, HUNTINGDON, PENN'A. Wednesday Morning, July 2, 1873, Circulation LARGER than any other Taper in the Juniata Valley. No PAPEIL—There will be no paper issued from this office next week, but our Job Rooms will be open daily, and our friends can be accommodated promptly. Ng_ Hon. Horace F. Clark, President of the Union Pacific Railroad, is dead. ' se_ The Constitutional Convention has resolved to remain in session until the conclusion of its labors. Da. The Democratic party is used up. It appears to be without head, arms, body or legs—nothing left but one big tail. oft. The Democratic press every month or two pays its respects to Gen. Grant by denouncing him as a "drunken loafer," &c. It is their sole stock in trade. As it appears to please them, and does not hurt Grant, let them crack away. Z When the whites massacred a large number of blacks at Colfax, La., many of our Democratic contemporaries were as si lent as the grave, but as soon as Governor Kellogg arms the blacks to enable them to prevent such atrocities in the future, they at once declare that "it is difficult to con ceive of a greater outrage." It makes a difference whose ox is gored. Da,. The Republicans of Bedford coun ty have nominated the following excellent ticket, viz: Associate Judge, Edmund F. Garliiager ; District Attorney. 'William C. Smith; Treasurer, Wm. Masters; County Commissioner, John Eichelberger; Jury Commissioner, David R. Smith ; Poor Di rector, Joseph. Snowden ; Auditor, John C. Ickes. let...onr esteemed young friend, Wm. C. Smith, Esq., of Bedford, we are highly gratified to learn, has received the nomin ation for District Attorney at the hands of the Republican County Convention. This is a highly merited compliment. Mr. Smith has been an ardent and hard-work ing Republican ever since he has been old enough to talk politics, and he deserves the undivided support of the party. We hope he may be triumphantly elected. SW We notice by the, proceedings pf the Republican County Convention, of Bedford county, that the name of Hon. William M. Hall, of that place, is brought fbrward for the office of Judge of the Su preme Court. Certainly no better man could be suggested for the position. He is well known throughout the Common wealth as one of the ablest judges upon the bench, and his nomination would give assurance that the Republican party is de termined to maintain the high character of the. Supreme Bench for learning and integrity. Dor Three numbers of the Centennial, a handsome monthly quarto, published in Philadelphia, by H. W.

Forty years ago, when the Anti-Slavery agitation be gan, not a paper in the United States da -red say a kind thing of Lewis Tappan. He was, says the Pittsburgh Commercial, on the contrary, denounced vilely and perse cuted bitterly by nearly all classes and conditions of men. He, however, kept on the even tenor of his way; and now, when he has dropped into the grave at the ripe I old age of eighty-five, with all the work grandly done, the beginning of which made him so odious in 1832 and for years after, all the papers in the Union speak well of him, praise him for his nobleness of heart and grandness of purpose, and speak of his philanthropy as the distin guishing mark of his career. There is nothing succeeds like success. The Lewis Tappan of 1873 was the Lewis Tappan of 1832, unchanged in all except age. But he had not succeeded then, and he has, now. Besides, the world does move, and the progress made in those 40 years has aided greatly in dispelling the harsh judg ment which greeted this good man when he helped to begin the greatest of all the good works of the nineteenth century. Dar The Republican County Conven tion of Bedford county, which assembled on last Wednesday, passed the following among other resolutions, viz : Resolved, That we most earnestly del preciate the course of many of our public officials and Representatives in their va rious capacities, in voting for and receiv ing increased salaries during the term for which they were elected, such a policy be ing in direct opposition to the fundamen tal principles of the Republican party and seriously detrimental to its best interests, as well as those of the country. Resolved, That we heartily endorse the administration of John F. Hartranft, his wisdom, prudenceand fearless course on all matters of public interest, having already fully demonstrated the fact he is worthy of the most implicit confidence of the men of all parties in the State and entitled to preeminent praise for his valuable service to the Commonwealth both as her defender on the field of battle and her protector in the executive chair. Resolved, That this convention instruct in favor of Hon. William M. Hall, the able and accomplished President Judge of this Judicial District, for Supreme Judge, and that the representative delegates be instructed to present his name to the neat Republican State Convention, as a suits- Me person for the Republican nomination for said office, and that they use all hon orable means to secure his nomination. _ Resolved, That the course of Hon. John Scott in voting against and of not using any portion of the extra pay voted to Con gressmen meets our entire approval. THE CONSTITUTION The Work of the Convention Now that the convention is approaching the close of its labors for the summer, having extended its sessions almost daily over nearly six months; it is thought fit to give a general but comprehensive epitome of its work, in order that the people might see in a short space exactly what has been done and what it is proposed to do. For this purpose Mr. J. McDowell Sharpe was requested to give shortly his views of the work of the convention. Without more ado than to take up the appendix contain ing the printed articles lying on his desk, Mr. Sharpe gave the following informa tion : A good deal of the work of the conven tion is yet in a crude condition, but enough of it has been done to form an idea of the general course of the revision and amend ments made by the body now sitting in Philadelphia. GUARDS AROUND THE BALLOT. The article on election, suffrage, and representation has passed second reading, and is now in the hands of the Committee on Revision and Adjustment. The prin cipal modifications in the present law made by this article are : Every rotz-r is required to have been a citizen of the United States for at least thirty days before the election. Under the old constitution they (foreign born denizens) can be naturalized up to the very day of election. This state of the law was a fruitful source of fraudulent naturalization papers: The advantage of having the thirty days is apparent. It enables these of the opposite parties a full opportunity to ferret out and circumvent fraud of this character. So, too, the resi dence of the voter in the district has been increased from ten to thirty days, and the payment of the tax must be made sixty days before the.election instead of on the day of the election, as may be done now. The object of extending the time of resi dence was to enable the election officers and those actively conducting the interests of the opposing political candidates to get acquainted with the new comers. Bat es pecially was this constitutional provision launched against "colonization," as it is called, whereby a surplus of voters for either candidate are enabled to move into a district, otherwise about evenly divided as to its voting population, and live there for the ten days before election. The thirty days provision renders the processes of this fraud much more difficult to be carried out. The object of requiring the tax to be paid so long before the election was to throw another obstacle in the way of unscrupulous party men in their efforts to control the voter. As a further security to the ballot, the requirement is made of the election offi cers to number each ballot as it is present ed, which number will correspond with the number of the elector on the polls. Each elector may, if he chooses, write his name on the ballot. In the Committee of the Whole the convention made this wri ting of the name obligatory, but on second reading it was made optional with the elector. This change was made because, as it was argued, the committee's provision was supposed to destroy the secrecy of the ballot. It was also considered by the country members inconvenient, and a re striction on the free exercise of the ballot. The city members were about equally di vided as to whether this obligatory , clause should be enforced in the cities. OVEII4EERS OP ELECTION There is a still further provision to guard the ballot-box in this article, and a most important one. The court may, upon the petitipn of a certain number of citi zens setting forth that there is danger of fraud in some election precinct, appoint overseers composed of men of different political parties who, in case of dispute, will join with the board of election officers, and a majority of the whole number will settle the disputed point. The object of this is apparent. When the inspector and judge fraudulently take illegal votes or refuses legal ones, the other inspector may call to his assistance those overseers ap pointed by the court. The difference be tween these overseers and the "watchers" provided for by the United States author ities, is that the latter are "mere lookers on in Vienna," and can say and do noth ing, though the most flagrant fraud be committed, while the former are permitted, under a certain state of facts, to exercise a voice in settling the disputed point. So, too, a most important modification lof the present law in regard to contested elections has been made, as well as a most extraordinary cases omissus remedied. Contested elections of the electors for President and Vice President, State Sena tors and Representatives, shall be tried by courts of law and not by partisan commit tees of the Legislature. The caws omissus provided for is that suggested by Mr. Buckalew, viz: that there has never been provided any mode by which the contested election of a seat in the Electoral College could be tried. THE LEGISLATURE. The important changes in the make-up of the legislative body isself are : The pe riod of the tenure of Senators is changed from three years to four, while that of the members of the House is changed from one to two years. The sessions of the body have also been made biennial, and the construction of the Senate limited to fifty members, and that of the House to one hundred and fifty members. In the article on legislation all power to pass special bills has been taken away; also, all appropriations made to charitable or educational associations, which the State has not absolute control of, have been ren dered illegal, except upon a two-third vote. Appropriations to sectarian institu tions have been refused absolutely. The only other article•of general interest gone through with on second reading is that en the Executive. THE EXECUTIVE. Two new officers have been constituted by this article—the Lieutenant Governor, who shall preside over the Senate, and in cases of a tie shall cast a vote, and the Secretary of Internal Affairs, who shall have the duties of the Surveyor General, superadded to which shall be the duty of attending to the industrial, manufacturing, charitable, and agricultural interests of the State. The term of the Governor is extended from three to four years. There is a restraint put unon the pardoning power, as follows: "He shall grant no pardons or reprieves, except with the con sent of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, the Attorney General, the Superinten dent of Public Instruction, and the Sec retary of Internal Affairs, or a majority of them." The above are the only articles which have been disposed of on second reading. It may not be generally known that every article is to be read three times; first, in the Committee of the Whole, where it is freely discussed and amended. It is then reported back to the convention for a second reading. Here, too, the sections way be debated and amended. But when it comes up on third reading the matter is not susceptible of amendment unless the majority of the convention agree to go back into the Committee of the Whole, for gen eral or special amendment. It is not likely that the mind of the convention will be changed after second reading. VIE BILL OF RIGHTS, The only discussion or difference of opinion upon any section of the Bill of Rights arose on the seventh section, whioh is that relating to the freedom of the press 4 the article on jury trials. The old constitutional provision in regard to the freedom of the press was changed so for as to permit the defendant to show that there was no actual malice, the other requisites to a proper publication being also proved. Several amendments were made in com mittee of the whole, looking to an alter ation of the present jury system so 111 r as to make a trial before a jury in civil cases optional with the litigants. and that three fourths of a jury only should be necessary to fix a verdict. Both these propositions, however, were voted down, and the jury system left untouched. WHAT THEY WILL DO. There will be a very stringent article against corporations. There will not be any essential change in the judicial system of the State. Scarcely anything more in this regard will be done except to Increase the number of the judges, their salary, and their tenture of office. This latter will cause to be made an inelegibility to hold an office a second term, especially as to the Supreme Court. After they have arrived at a certain age they will be allowed a pen sion. Also, all functions not purely judi cial will be taken away from the judges, such as the appointment of commissions, &c. The article on cities and city char ters contains a restriction against incurring a debt of more than 2i per cent of the as sessed valuation of the real estate within the limits of the indebted city. The crea tion of a sinking fund is also compelled. The exemption of property from taxation is prohibited, except in such cases as an exemption by general law. _ _ _ The article on railroads and canals is a very elaborate one, covering fourteen sec tions. It is, of course, impossible to tell how this article will be finally passed. In the opinion of Mr. Sharp, every ar ticle might be passed on second readmy this week, and the convention ought to adjourn by the Fourth of July, or certainly by the 15th. AWAITING PASSAGE. They still have to pass the articles on railroads and canals, education, judiciary, militia, impeachment, future amendments, finance, and private croporations. THE RAILROAD ARTICLE. By this article the free railroad law is enacted, a law which enables any one to build a railroad under certain general rules. Various important restrictions are placed on the present railroad companies and their officers. The companies are re strained from making any discrimination in their charges for freight. One of the evils complained of now is that the rail roads will carry freight coming from be• yond the borders of the State at a less rate than they would carry the freight of our own citizens. Another of the evils com plained of was that there were rings form ed inside of the managers and officers, who established independent lines of transporta tions over their own roads. These officers, •in their official position, would therefore give preferences to persons using their in dividual freight lines, and delay and ob struct those using the regular lines of the company. There is also a provision intend ed to meet a supposed abuse in the engag ing by railroad companies, or the officers and managers thereof, directly or indirect ly, in mining or manufacturing operations for other corporations, or of transporting over the works of their own company. Neither shall any street-passenger railway be constructed within thp limits of any city without the consent of the local authori ties, and all corporations are made liable for the payment of damages, consequential as well as direct. CONCLUSION It is believed that we have thus, with the aid of Mr. Sharpe, given a thorough resumption of the work of the convention. One of the most important points yet to be settled is as to the mode in which the new constitution shall be submitted to the peo ple. There are those in the convention, whose legal opinion is valued very highly, who think that there exists in that body the power to bring the consitution into being without a submission to the vote of the people in general. Admitting the power, the policy of doing this is question able. The moral effect of withholding its ratification from the masses would be bad, even though thelegal power to do so ex isted. The moral effect of a popular vote in its favor would thus be lost, and much discontent, and even revolution might en sue.—Plandelphia Press. Death of Hiram Powers, The long illness that closed on the 27th ult., with the death of Hiram Powers, at Florence, has taken the most distinguished merit this country has ever contributed to the highest branch of art, and inscribed one name that, though lower, is still upon the same column with Phidius and Praxi tiles. Centuries hence, when the aspira tions of American art, have ripened into realities—when the desire and effort have found fruition, still, though that should be perfect—Powers' name will survive as of one who hoped and labored nobly for the best. His renown could hardly have been achieved against more unfriendly condi tions. Born at the close of July, sixty eight years since, at Woodstock, Vermont, he was the youngest but one in a farmer's family of nine children. His early edu cation was limited to the common school, and when his father had emigrated to Ohio, and died, the son was obliged to do what he could for a living. He was em ployed by a German, who taught him to model in plaster and make busts. Then he spent seven years in the waxwork de partment of a museum, constantly trying to improve as a sculptor. He spent a cou ple of years in Washington after 1835 modelling busts, and was assisted to visit Italy in 1837 by Mr. Longworth. Ile settled in Florence—lived there and died there. Powers' first success was his 'Eve," produced the year after he reached Flor ence, and pronounced by Thorwaldsen worthy of any ambition and fit to be the masterpiece of any sculptor. The "Greek Slave" was completed in 1839, and follow ed rapidly by the "Fisher Boy," "II Pen seroso ," "Proserpine," "California," "America," "Washington," "Jackson," "Adams," "Webster," "Marshall," "Ever ett," "Van Buren." "Calhoun," and oth ers. The "Greek Slave," "Eve," and "Fisher Boy" were frequently duplicated in marble; and, though criticised sharply, have held a high place in modern art—the highest in American sculpture. His "Webster," in bronze, stands in the Bos ton Statehouse. The great praise that Edward Everett awarded him, and that W. W. Story endorsed, are made more valuable by the consent of the European artists, by whom he has been very highly esteemed for the correctness of his princi ples, and the felicity of his performance in art, as well as for an unstained, honor able, and laborious career. He was the representative whom all Americans united to honor in Florence; and won no ordinary commendation from the best of other countries.

THE OCEAN BALLOON VOYAGE, interesting Letter from Professor John Wise. NEW Yonx, June 26, 1873.—The ar rangement for the transatlantic balloon voyase is now definitely settled, and set tled in such a way as not to embarrass the integrity of its successful termination by any pecuniary considerations. The cost of outfit is made purely as a contribution to science for the promotion of the art of aerial navigation, and a better knowledge of the conditions of the great Aerial Ocean in which we live and creep about, and in which we hope before long to float from place to place. We are not so enthusias tic as to promise the immediate establish ment of aerial transit lines from America to Europe, but we do anticipate a result that will make commercial science east its eyes in that direction. It will open the eyes of scientific men so as to induce them to look at the thing with the respect that it is fairly entitled to, and which hereto fore has been too much looked upon as the merest bauble of a toy—a simple, spectac ular, foolhardy amusement. That it was so, was to me humiliating enough—for the duration of an ordinary lifetime ; but now, thanks to an overruling Providence, the thing is to be lifted up in the scale of res pect, if not to an immediate commercial success, at all events to a decent niche in the arcanum of meteorological science. In this we are as much benighted as were the old Pcolemys in astronomy. It is not too much to say that the investigation of the atmosphere will lead us to au understand ing of the true nature of malaria—the propagation and spread of epidemics, and to learn those periodic things we now look upon as convulsions and disturbances of nature, and which things scientifically re duced will teach us how to better shield our health and life from calamities that we now look upon as mysterious judgments of an angered Deity. Should we succeed in this project, as we really and earnestly believe we shall, it will be a sufficient requital for a long life of study and experience, in which I desired to add an increment to the "increase and diffusior of knowledge among men." And should we not, peradventure, sail across via atmosphere, but be cast upon the waters, we hope to still prove how well we la id our plans to meet the emergency of such a misfor• tune. This part of the paraphernalia is the symbol of difference wo have for ou • doubting friends, who say we will be "sure to land in the water." We have taken this bull by the horns, and thus conciliate that apprehension, although my friend Donaldson thinks it may lead peo ple to suppose we have more faith in the water craft than in the air craft, which we surely have not. We have so many admonitions, and so many advises, that to meet them all might overwhelm us with kindness too great to bear, and so we have determined to stick to our well-digested and matured plan, trusting, with an abiding faith, that we shall cross the Ru bicon in less than three days from the mo ment we cut loose from the earth.

NEW Irons, June 27.—At the trial of Woodhull, Claflin and Blood for send ing obscene publications through the Uni ted States mails, Judge Blatchford decid ed that under the act of 1872 a weekly or daily newspaper was not intended to be in cluded among the lists of obscene publica tions. In the act of 1873 the word "pa per" is inserted and was intended to in clude a newspaper, which, as he construed the previous acts on the subject, was not included in the statutes. The indictment in the present case was drawn under the statute of 1872, and the prosecution must consequently fall. The jury then render ed a verdict of not guilty.
