It is a significant fact that always before elections " business is dull," andthat it is always better after. Money is still scarce,. everybody is complaining of the difficulty of collecting bills, and provision and food of nearly every kind is too high. Why this stagnation in business, we cannot tell. It is not merely local either, but ex tending all over the country. The severe drought in the west has had some in flu on the markets there, but we have no par ticular local cause in all the east for the apparent dullness. It was confidently ex pected that the European war would tend to increased activity in business, but so far we note no favorable changes, save in some commodities. We look confidently for a better future. Now, that our October election is over and it is well known who have been elect ed to the Legislature, the next thing of importauee.will be the election of a State Treasurer.. We sincerely hope that anew than will be presented, so that we may not have a repetition of the disgraceful con duct that characterized all who were inter ested for either Mackey or Irwin. Neither of these men have done anything to com mend them to the honest portion of the commonwealth. The contest between them was nothing but a corrupt endeavor to seize the Treasury and out of it to en rich themselves and their guilty friends. There are many other better men than they are in the State who might be induc ed ' to . serve if honorably elected, and should the members fail techoose a new man, the conclusion' will . he irresistible that they are bought by one of the old ones. We haveyetheard the' name of no other person mentioned from which it 'anayhe reasonably inferred,that, a,"Set up_ has been agreed upon. It may" be that 'Mackey is to be elected next year as Ir win was elected this year. Stranger things than -this-have happened.

In this case a man had the earnings of years in an iron safe. By his side were his wife and seven child ren. The roaring waters of the swollen river were rushing through the lower stories of his house, outside were a party of neighbors with a boat, and who had risked their lives to save this family. The man would not leave the house without the safe; the woman refused to leave with out her husband, and there they remained watching the safe; the water rose higher and higher; with but a moment's warning the house was carried from i ts foundation s, and in a few minutes man, woman and seven children lay silently at the bottom of the river. Truly they died for dollars. THE Lancaster Inteillyeacce givts the following suggestions about amending the State Constitution. Some of the " re forms" suggested are good and deserve careful consideration, but others are very lame. How the salaries of members and officers can justly and cx - pediently be fixed by the constitution might in certain con tingences prove a difficult matter: " Legislative powers should be restrict ed to the enactment of general laws, and the power of granting charters to corpor ations be left to the courts, with proper restrictions. No bill should be allowed to pass ex cept after being printed and put on tile, and then only on call of the yeas and nays by a clear majority of the member select. All increased expenditures for ordinary purposes should require a two-thirds vote on call of yeas and nays, and no increase should be made to the State debt without the sanction of a popular vote, except in case of war or insurrection. The session of the Legislature should be limited and the salaries of members and officers be fixed by the constitution. Every member should be required to swear, before taking his seat, that he had not directly or indirectly paid or promis ed anything of value to secure his election, and that he would not receive anything in consideration of an official act. The State Treasurer should he made elective by the people for a term of years, and the funds of the State be placed be yond the reach of speculation. These are a few of the amendments to our State Constitution which experience has shown to be absolutely necessary, but there are others v.h . c't could be readily suggested."
