The movements of tho robes forces in Vir

show that General Lee, with his army, is
moving forward to invade the States of
Maryland, Pennsylvania and other States.
The President, to - repel this invasion
promptly, has called upon Ohio, Pennsyl

hundred thousand (100,000; militia, for six
(6) months, unless sooner discharged. it
is Important to have the largest possible,
force in the least time, and if other States
would furnish militia fora short term, to be
ordered on the draft, it would greatly ad

Terrible Norgo Riot In Tennis
GALVESTON, July 15th.—On the evening
of the 15th a riot commenced at Minoan,
Texas, on the Ocutral Railroad• 4. mob of
about twenty-fivo negroes, headed by g
white school teacher named 13rooks, is re
ported to have attempted to hang a Wm.
Halliday. The white citizens prevented
the execution, and, headed by the Bureau
Agent and Sheriff, attempted to suppress
the mob, which resulted in the death of
ten or twelve negroes, On the 10th the
numbers increased on both sides, and
skirmishing occurred during the day, the
causalities being estimated ut 25. A small
bodylot troops arrived late last night and
dispersed the rioters, killing three negroes.
The latter numbering from SOO to 500 had
fortified themselves three miles from Mil-
Bean and refused to lay down their arms
until the troops dispersed them. The en
tire loss was fifty or sixty: The difficulty
is said to have arisen from a suspicion
that a member of the Loyal League had
been Ming; but who has since been found,

• lt:issuet, nekoneeded,thaLtime; has devel
oped imperfections siticl“ omissions in the -
Constitution, the. reformation of Which has
been demanded by the best interests of the
country. Some or these have been remedied
in the manner provided in.theConstitution
itself. There , are others which, although
horetoforelirought to the `ention of the
people, have never beet:lSO presented as to
enable the popular Juclgusent.to .determine
Whether they should be corrected by means
of additional amendments. My object in
this comnsunition is to suggest curtain de
fects ill 'the' ConatUntion, which seem to me
to requirooorrection, and recommend that
the judiosientelthe people be taken on the
amendmentekiroposed.
The litsteljthe defects, to which I desire I
to directettention Is, in that clause of the
Constitution Which provides for the election
of the President and Vice President through
the intervention of electors, and not by no I
immediate vote of the people.i The impor
tance of so 'amending this clause us to se
cure to the people the election of President
and Vice President by their direct votes,
was urged with great earnestness and abil
ity by President Jackson in his first annual
message, and the recommendation was re
pouted iu live of his subsequent communi
cations to Congress, extending through the
eight years of his administration. In his
message of 1820, ho said; "To the people
belongs the right of electing their Chief
Magistrate. It was never designed that
their choice should in any ease be defeated,
either by the intervention of electoral eel
legal or by the agency mended under cer-
tale contingencies to the House of Repre
sentatives." Be then proceeded to state the
oljctions to au election of President by the
House of Representatives, the most. Im
portant of which was that the choice
of a char majority of the people might
be easily defeated. Ito closed the sr
gument with the Milowing recom
mendation : " 1 would therefore re
commend such as amendment of the
Constitution us ni ty remove all interme
diate agency in time Mention of Presi
dent and Vice President, The mode may
ho so regulated as to preserve to each State
its present relative might In elections, and
a failure In tho arid attempt may be pro
vided for by confining the second Lou eholco
between the two highest candidates. In
connection with such nn amendment it
would seem advisable to limit tho serviceof
the Chief Magistrate to asingle Corm of four
or six yours. If, however, It should not be
adopted, It Is worthy of consideration
whether n provision diwg 4 alifying for ofilco
the Representatives In Congress on whom
such an election may have devolved, would
not be proper." Although this rucurnmen
datign Was re oated with undiminished
earnestness in several of his succeeding
messages, yet the proposed n m cod meet wits
never adopted trod submitted to the reoPle
by Congress.
The danger of u deleat of the pen pie's
choice in an election by the House of Re
presentatives remains unprovided fur In
the Constitution, and would be greatly in
creased if the House of Representatives
should assume the power arbitrarily to re
ject the votes of a State which might not
be cast In conformity with the wishes of the
majority of that body. But, It' President
Jackson failed to secure the amendment to
the Constitution which he urged so persist
ently, his argument' contributed largely to
the formation of party organizations which
have effectually avoided the contingency of
an election by the House of Representatives.
These organizations, first, by a resort tattle
caucus system of nominating candidates,
and afterwards to State and National Con
ventions, have been successful in so limit
ing the number of candidates as to escape
the danger of no election icy the House of
Representatives.
It is clear, however, that In thou limiting
the number of candidates, the object and
spirit of the Constitution have been avoided
and defeated, It Is an essential feature in
our republican system of government that
every citizen possessing the constitutional
qualifications has a right to become a can
didate for President and Vico President,
and that every qualified elector has a right
to cast his vote for any eltizen whom he
may regard as worthy of those offices ; but,
under the party organizations which have
prevailed fdr years, those essential rights
of the people have been as effectually cut
off and destroyed as if the Constitution it-
Neif had imbibed their exercise.
The danger of a defeat of the popular
choice in an election by the House of Rep
resentatives is no greater than in all elec
tion made nominally by the people them
selves, when, by the laws of party organi
cation, by the constitutional provision re
quiring tho people to vote for electors,
Instead of for the President and Vice Pres
ident, it is made impracticable for any citi
zen to be a candidato except through the
process of a party nomination, and for any
voter to cast his suffrage for any other per•
son than one thus brought forward through
the manipulations or a nominating convert ,
thou.
It is thus apparent that, by means of
party organizations, that provision of the
Constitution which requires the election of
President and Vice President to be made
through the electoral colleges, has been in
strumental and potential in defeating the
great object of conferring the choice of these
offices upon the people. It may be conceded
that party organizations are inseparable
from republican government, and that,
when formed and managed in subordina
tion to the Constitution, they may be valu
able safeguards of popular liberty; but,
when they are perverted to purposes of bad
ambition, they are liable to become the
dangerous instruments of overthrow big the
Constitution itself.
strongly impressed with the truth of these
views, I feel culled upon Lty an Imperative
h 011.40 of duty to revive substantially the re
commendation so often and so earnestly
made by President Jackson—to urge that
the amendment to the Constitution here
with presented, or some similar proposition
may be submitted to the people tor their
ratification or rejection. Recent events have
shown the necessity of an amendment to the
Coustfintion distinctlydefining the persons
who shall discharge the duties of President
of the United States in the event of vacancy
in that office by the death, resignation or re
moval of both the President and• Vice Pres•
Went. It is clear thatiffis should be fixed by
the constitution and not befell torepealable
enactments of ioubful constitutionality.—
It occurs to me that in the event of n va
cancy in the office of President, by the
death, resignation, disability or removal
of both the President and Vice President,
the ditties of the office should devolve upon
an officer of the executivedepartment Mate
Government, rather than upon one con
nected with either the legislative or judicial
departments. The objections to designating
either the President pre lemporc of the
Senate or the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, and especially in the event of a va
cancy produced by removal, mese obyious
and so unanswerable that they need not be
stated in detail. It is enough to state that
they are both interested in producing a
vacancy, and, according to tho provisions of
the Constitution, are members of the tri
bunal by whose decree a vacancy may be
produced. Under such circumstances, the
impropriety of designating either of these
officers to succeed the President an removed
is palpable.
The framers of the Constitution, when
they referred to Congress the settlement of
the succession to the office of President in
the event of a vacancy in the offices of both
President and Vice 'President, did not, in
my opinion, contemplate the designation of
any other than an officer of the Executive
Department, on whom, in such a contin
gency, the powers and duties of the Presi
dent should devolve. Until recently, the
contingency has been remote, and serious
attention has not been called to the mani•
fest incongruity between the pro Vision of
the Constitution on this subject and the Act
or Congress of 179,2: Haying, hoeever, been
brought almost face to face with this
portant question, lt seemsuestion , an t minently
proper Hine for us to make the legislation
conform to the language, intent, and theory
of the Constitution, and thus place the Ex
ecutive Department beyond the reach of
usurpation, and remove front the legislative
and judicial departments every temptation
to combine for the absorption of all powers
of Government.
It bas occurred to ins that, iu the event
of such a vacancy, the duties of the Presi
dent would devolve most appropriately
upon some one of the heads of the several
executive departments. And under this
conviction, I present for your consideration
an amendment to the Constitution on this
subject, with a recommendation that it be
submitted to the people for their action.
Experience seems to have established the
necessity of an amendment of that clause
of the Constitution Which piovides 14 the
election of Senators to, tongresa by the
Legislature of the several States. It would
be more consistent 'with the genius of our
form of government if Senators were champ
directly by (De people of the seveml 4tatep.
The objectiqns to the eleetiou of Sonafore by
Legislatures are so palpable that I deem it
unnecessary to do more than submit the
proposition for such an amendment, with a
recommendation that it bo referred to the
people for their judgment.
'lt is strongly impressed on my mind that
tife tenure of office, by the judiciary of the
United States, during' good behavior or for
life, is incompatible With the spirit of the
republican form of government, and in this
opinion I am fully sustained by the evi
dence of popular judgment upon this sub
ject in different States of the Union. I
therefore deem it my duty to recommend
an Amendment to the Constillution by which
the terms of judicial °Steers would be ilmi
tot' to a period of years, and I hereby pre
sent it, In the hopit that Congress will sub
mit it to the people for thplr decision.
The foregoing views have long been en.
tortained by me. In 1896. in the Rouse of
Representatives, and afterwards, in 1850, in
the Senate of the United States, I submitted
substantially the Being propositions as those

Tho Evening Bu!Jetta comments thus uu
the present condition of the United States
Army:
In the debate in lie House, ou Saturday,
Mr. Pile, of Missouri, made the extraordi
nary statement that the Secretary of War
had'just told him that at the rate at which
the °Meuse! the army were now dismissed
from the service for incompetency, drunk
eness and immorality, one-fourth of all in
the service would be got rid of in twelve
months. If this is really General Scho
field's opinion, and it is !banded op facts
given in the records of the War Department
then the Army of the United States offers n
tine field for the labors of missionaries,
moral reformers, temperance lecturers and
schoolmasters. It seems that ignorance
and Vice prevail chiefly among the commis
sioned officers. The army seems to be
peculiarly susceptible to the demoralization
produced by cheap and bad whisky since
the war; and if the proposed reduction bill
can be made to apply to the incompetent
and drunken men alone, nobody will ob
ject to its passage by Congress.
If this be true, it shows the terrible effect
of bad example. This was not the state of
ho military service when Winfield Scott
and George B. McClellan gave to it the of
evated tone of their owp charaeter. An
impartial, reduction o f the army on the
scarp of drunkenness, would begin With the
chief offender.

The number of Graduates in tide class of
1568, it will be noticed, Is 35, some fifteen
of whom are ladies. The number of ora
tions spoken, and essays read, of course,
precludes any notice of them In detail.
Those, that we heard, were well writon and
delivered' evincing consideiable ability
and literary culture, and reflected credit
upon the graduates and their Instructors at
the Normal School.
The number of students In attendance at
this institution during the winter session
was 472; the number in attendance during
the summer session, which has just termi
nated, was 516. Total for both sessions 1)88.
The number of pupils in the Model School
was 116. These figures Indicate the great
popularity of this institution, particularly
among those who arc fitting themselves for
the high and responsible duties of teaching.
The Normal School buildings are large,
furnishing boarding accommodations for
300, and School accommodations for 400
students. Owing to the prosperity of
the School within the past few years
The Trustees have been induced to erect
during the present summer, an additional
building 90 feet long and 40 feet wide and
4 stories high. We were Informed that this
large new building will afford boarding ac
commodations for nearly a hundred more
students. This building will soon be ready
for rooting, and it is contemplated to have
it suitably finished for occupation at ;the
commencement of the fall session.
TILE SLATE DEPOSITS OF MINNESOTA.-
J. Edgar Thompson and other Pennsylva
nia Railroad men and capitalists have taken
a large amount of stock in the Lake Supe
rior and Mississippi River Railroad, which
is to run from St. Paul, 150 miles to the
western extremity of Lake Superior. The
road has received large grants of land, both
from the General Government and from the
State of Minnesota. On these lands are im
mense undeveloped mineral resources.
Among other remarkable deposits Is that
of Slate where the road crosses the St.
Louis river. Mr. Thomas Arnold, a well
known slate operator at Poach Bottom, has
Just returned from an exploring expedi
tion to that region, which he made under
the direction of the Pennsylvanians who
have an interest in the road. Ito reports
this to bo the most remarkable slate re
gion in the world. The slate ridge is some
twenty odd miles in length and six In
width. In ono place are mounds of slate
covering a large extent of territory
which present the appearance of a
city, there being streets, houses and
towers of regular shape, the whole present
ing a most singular and Interesting appear
ance. At one point in the St. Louis river Is
a large island of pure, workable slate tow
ering above the surface of the stream to a
height of 75 feet. In quality this Immense
deposit of slate Is said to be equal to the
celebrated Peach Bottom article, and the
scarcity of timber on the Western prairies,
and the rapid growth of Western cities and
towns must cause an Immediate and Im•
manse demand for it. We aro glad to learn
that the enterprising Pennsylvanians who
have invested money In this now railroad
are likely to reap so large a profit. Mr. Ar
nold Informs Al 5 that It is expected that
steps will be at once taken to develop this
great source of wealth.

solemnity and devotion of feeling prevails.
Thu large •nitar is shaded by a canopy of
canvass, though this would hardly seem to

over the grounds. The best of order has
prevailed from , the commencement of the
meeting. and not an instance of Indecorous
behaTiour has come under the notice of the
taartagers. The special feature of this meet
-fog is that it is directed to the explanation
and enfOrcement of the Methodist doctrin e of
Entire' Sanctification from Sin, and over

DECEASED. —The Rev. H. F. Horn, pastor
of the Duke Street Methodist Episcopal
Church, of this city, died on Friday, at the
Bparsonage in Walnut street. The Rev. Mr.
urn was about fourty-seven years of age,
a graduate of Dickenson College at Carlisle,
and a man of lino attainments and ability.
He leaves behind him a wife and two child
ren to whom his death is a sad affliction
Wo learn that his death was occasioned by
an attack of Congestion of the brain most
probably superinduced by the ecent ex
tremely warm weather. He was attended
by Dr. Williain Compton whose arm to
gether with those of the other physicians
called in for consultation, were unable to
check the fatal disease, which seemed from
the first to indicate the most serious conse
quences; the deceased having been delir;
ions from Wednesday morning until the
time of his death. Mr. Hurn title been for
some time an efficient and honored minis
ter of the Methodist denomination, and pre
vious to Ills coming to this city, lie was stc
honed at Media, Delaware county, and be
fore taking charge or the church in Media,
he was pastor of the church In Ureen street,
Philadelphia, one of the largest dad moat
influential churches in that city. The de
ceased has been called away, In the prime
of life, and from the midst of n congrega
tion, which has learned to love and revere
111111, and by hie death they have not only
lost a beloved minister, but the communi
ty and the church at large have lost a
ul and distinguished member.
TILE HARVEST.—}'armors from different
sections of our County report that the Wheat
Is nearly all harvested ; the recent protract
ed dry weather linVing greatly facilitated
the labor of gathering it into the barn. The
crop is stated to be an average one, and in
some localities, there is reported to be more
than the ordinary yield. Considerable
anxiety is manifested by some farmers re•
' , meeting the Oats crop ; many of them think
there will not be an average yield of this
Important grain, when the crop is harvested
it may, however, prove to be larger than
now seems to be generally anticipated.
The hay crop this season is said to have
been, In ovary portion of our county very
large. The stock of our farmers will con
sequently Lave their full allowance of good
provender during the coming winter.
'Ce
O B.EN CI mnrEsr.—Tho Reading Gazette
says that the preparations for the &anger
fest now being held in that city are about
completed. In Penn square a large canopy
is erected which in to be festooned With ev
ergreens and decorated with banners and
flags. At the upper end of the lower sec
tion of the market houses, a staging has
been erected, from which the welcoming
speeches are to be made. Our citizens
should extend a hearty welcome to our vis
itors, and every family having a flag should
display it at the window or on tho building.
The arrangements on the Fair-ground are
very tasteful, while the adornments at
Lauer's Park and at the various saloons in
the city are very fine and inviting.
ANCIENT REAPING MACHINES: Many,
wo doubt not, will hardly believe that reap
ing machines were in operation nearly
2,000 years ago; but such was nevertheless
the fact. Pliny, the naturalists, who gives
the following account of one of these ancient
machines. died:nearly a century before the
birth of Christ, and such machines were in
use in advance of that period :
"As touching the manger of cutting donne
or reaping corns, there Bo diverse and sun
