, Tun elections are over now, the sus
pense of political managers is past, and
the time for improved business is here.
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. Look

A - startling incident is related in the
telegraphic dispatches in connection with
the flood in Virginia, and one which
shows with what tenacity sonic people
will cling to dollars. 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."

says "that the custom-house officer at Sa
vannah who loWered the United States
flag on hearing cif the death of Robert E.
Lee is evidently ripe for removal. Gener
al Lee for four years did his best to dis
honor and disgrace thiS flag. and never
apologized for so doing. To have lowered
it as a. mark of respect to his memory,
would have been simply idiotic. The in
ference is very fair that the customhouse
official who is so poor a custodian of his
country's flag is likely just as poor a keep
er of its coin."
G SitEniD, , ..N ON THE WAa.—Gen.
Sheridan, M a letter to the Tribune Ber
lin correspondent, dated Rheims, Septem
ber 7, says: " You, of course, long before
this, are familliar with the fate Napoleon
and :Nlellahon's army. They put their
foot into it,' as we say in America, and I
see nothing now left to France but to give
up the contest and make the best terms
possible. The French have been outgcn
eraled, and, in addition, the German
troops go into every battle to win it seems
to make no difference to them where they
find the French; they go to work to whip
them,and have clone so in every instances.
I feel, of course, a great delicacy in saying
anything about army movements, but
certainly 'on to Paris' now is a much more
certain thing than 'on to Richmond' was
with us."
