Constitutional Convention.
The Union League of Philadelphia
mrue time ago inaugurated measure
which, if adhered t, and adopted by tlie
Republican party generally, cannot fail
of inducing the Legislature goon to con
vene, to favor tbe calling of State Con
vention to am;nd tlie State Constitution.
The desire for an amendment if not eon
fined to the IJepublican party, it is hearti
ly shared by Democrats. The amend
inemlments should not be of a partisan
character. The Constitution is for the
government of the whole- people, and
should be shaped to a single purpose, and
that purpose the public good.
The promiueul points now talked of in
connection with tbo auicndmeDU, are
Special legislation protection against
it in tbe Constitution.
The offering and the acceptance i.f
bribes on the part of legislators.
A change in tha distribution and secu
rity of tbe public funds.
A change in regard to tbe power of
corporations.
An increase of the members of both,
houses of tbe Legislature
The ehction of State Treasurer, At
torney General, Adjutant General and
tate Superintendent of Common Schools.
Tbe election f a Lieutenant General.
Several other points arc referred to
which are not herd mentioned, but which
shall be spoken of at auether time. I-iet
the people earnestly think over tbe
changes spoken of.

Fhakspeare's Isabella, in Maasure for

Lady Macbeth, in Macbeth, embrace the
virtue, tbe devotion, the caprice, the holy
love, the unholy love, tbe aspirations,
and the wild and ungovernable ambition
of the women of tbe past. These qual
ities, good and bad, are living qualities,
and at work to day as strongly as in the
days of the past. Human nature has
not chaneed an iota since the days' of
Shakepeare, but since the days of that
immortal man the barriers that obstruc
ted the advancement of persons of either
sex have been broken down, hence the
development of aspirations that were un

I ke his. Tbe Weekly is the advocate of
the Sixteenth Amendment which means
woman at the polls and in office. In its
columns may be found sundry articles on
religions and political subjects. The re
ligious articles are far from being ortho
dox, and if in the hands of some of the
hardy sons and daughters of onr beauti
ful valleys up here among the mountains,
we fear the criticisms would reach sever
ity. When we declare the articles not
orthodox in sentiment, we allow the dear
ladies the privilege to smile and say "In
noetftit." The politics is, as we have
already intimated, of the most advanced
kind.
Aa arttele is devoted to the manage
ment of the Pennsylvania Bailroad Com
pany. It has a great deal that is caus
tic to say about the management, aud
nothing that tends to promote harmony
and good fellow feeling among the mem
bers. Dear ladies, pardon us. It may
be ungallant to say it, but we can't help
it. We must say that if Commodore
Vanderbilt, or Fisk had drafted an
article against the Pennsylvania Central,
it would not have been more thoroughly
done than it was in the article to which
we refer. Is not Commodore Vanderbilt
a patron of the Week'jf ?

true in the late political campaign, the
reader, if he (tops to think, may learn.
The Pittsburg Gazelle, ia speaking of
tbe changes that usually come in the sec
ond year after the election of a President,
reviews the second year Congressional
1 election! of every Administration from
the days of Andrew Jackson to the late
elclion in tbe second year of President
Grant's Administration. It says :
Starting as far back as 1S32 when
Gen. Jackson was re-elected, we find that
two year afterwards there was a decided
Whig gain. In 1836 Van Borenwas
elected, and in 1838 the Whig! elected
their speaker in the House. , In 1840
Harrison was elected, and in 1642 the
j House was Democratic. Ia 1844 Polk
was elected, and in 1846 Mr. Winthrop,
from Marsachussets, was elected speaker.
In 1848 Taylor was elected, and in I860
the House was Democratic r In 1S52
Pierce was elected, and 1854 Backs,
from MassMhusseta, was elected speaker,
la 1856 Buchanan was elected, and in
1858 Pennington, from New Jersey, was
elected Speaker. In 1860 Lincoln was
elected, and in 1862 Ohio, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut
and New Jersey went ' Democratic In
j 1864 Lincoln was re elected, and in 1866
j there was a Congress adverse to the ad
. ministration. In 1868 Grant was elect
iel, and in 1S70 the Congress of the
I United States, elected the second year
! after the Presidential election, will, for
! the first time in forty years, support the
i Administration." The result is an on
I usual one.

They have driven the Germans out of

America. It was on Thursday last. A
large concourse of people had already as
sembled in the yard, crowding the whar

ing near by, and up the Christiana. At
12 o'clock the usual err of "Here she

The movement at first was almost imper
ceptible, but the motion gradualy accele

she struck the water a young lady aboard
broke a bottle of wine a cross her bows and
prououneedthe name "Wyanoke"' which,

Inlet oo Uielordn. Coast, on the,' 20th
of October fcea 'city paper with tha
following ss&virt of the disaster; Wa
republbhli;. ; -
We left New York" on Saturday night
at seven o'clock and had fine weather up
to tbe morning of October 20, when a
wind sprang np from ihe Sooth.' . At
noon there was a moderate gale. ' Al the
sun went down it was a perfect hurricane.
All went well nntil eight o'clock, when
the wind shifted suddenly to the south
west, when the ship became unmaaage
ble, and having a list to port, the sea
commenced rushing on board on the lee
side of the ship, staving in bulwarks and
the cabin door. ' ' 11
The sea had stoved in the engine-
house and was rushing down into the fire
and engine room at a rate of many tons
per minute, and the ship listing over
more, she wast fast filling,-' I came back
to the captain's room, opened tbe weath
er cabin door to see how' tbe passengers
were behaving, but did not see a soul, as
they were all in there state-rooms, anable
to come out on account of the ship's ly
ing on her beams ends- I then came on
the hurricane deck and got into the after
boat with six others then' in it. It
wai lying on the deck waiting for '. the
ship to go down, she then being necrly
on her beam ends. : " 1
The captain, mate, and engineers;' ten
in all, were in the boat, and in less than
five minutes the boats were afloat, but in
such a heavy sea as that I was afraid
we would get foul of the ship's ' rigging.
While the vessel was sinking the other
boat hailed and asked us if we were all
right, and after this the steamer got foul
of their boat and took her down with tbe
ship. The boats were IngersoPs metal ic
life-boats, and I think the captaiu's boat
got clear and eame np again , aa' a boat
bottom np, was seen twe hours after, but
no person was in it. After the ship's
mssthead was out of sight, wo thought
ourselves all right, as the ship was clear
of us ; but we counted without a host,
for a heavy sea capsised tha heat, but all
managed, after great exertion, to right
ber and get in her again. '
The ship went ddwn at two P. BI.,
and at midnight the weather moderated
and was still. We bailed the boat out
after remaining in her full of water
throughout the night, using for that pur
pose the rudder and shoes on board, our
hats and every thing else having been
lost. We then went with the sea, which
was heavy to tbe northeast. At ten
o'clock we got on the Bahama banks,
and so intended to steer south for Abacoa
About three o'clock we saw a ship and
pulled for her, but darkness setting in
we did not catch her. We begau to feel
thirsty by this time, but still had hopes
for the morrow so we let the boat drift
and went to sleep. Next morning the
wind was springing np from the north
east, when we saw a brig anchor on the
banks nd pulled for ber, but tbe wind
increased so that we could not reach ber.
We then sqnared away for ths Florida
coast, with an oar for a mast and two
shirts and a pillow-ease for a sail. We
made Jupiter light house at 8 ; at half
past 10 on the 20th were near the beach.
and took down sail and put onr shirts on
our backs,and then prepared to beach ber.
Tbe first breakers was passed, which
did no harm. The next breaker whic h
struck us was a roost dreadful one, and
swept McCormick and Flinn off the boat.
The poor fellows could not reach it again,
being so much exhausted. The remain
ing nve clambered into tne boat again,
and the breakers land us safe. We slept
under the boat that night on the beach,
end got to the light-house next morning.
after being sixty boors without food
water. ;
The hardships encountered by the five
men were terrible, and tongue fails to
express the suffering endured by them
while braving the fury of the elements
for sixty hours in an open boat, without
food or water except a small onion serv
ed to moisten parched, aching lips. Frbm
Sands' Point the party was kindly lent
on by mail by the agent to Enterprise
and then transported to Jacksonville.
Here their condition was generously
looked after by -the collector of customs.
After leaving Jacksonville the party
landed at Savannah yesterday. The
passengers, thirty-six in number, without
doubt, all perished in their state-rooms
When the steamer suddenly lurched
over on her beam ends the water poured
into the cabin, when tbey were securely
fastened to die a horrible death without
even battling for existence. It would
have bee madness, the survivors' itate,
to have attempted to rescue them, as the
cabin was a trip into which it waa cer
tain death to venture. Horrible as ' the
thought, nothing could be dono' by the
officer! and crew but save themselves.
A feeling of apprehension and uneasiness
seems to have existed among the passen
gers, according to the statement of the
euruivors ; for one or two days previous
to the disaster, while during the tumult
of the hurrican, when it was at its fier
cest, their demeanor was the extreme of
fear and terror, and many were painfully
apprehensive of their coming fate. -' ;'
This is one of the most terrible disas
ters that has occurred on the J Atlantic
coast since the loss of the Evening Star,
though the fury of tbe hurricane in this
instances is said never to have been sur
passed by any ever witnessed, in this
litude f tue Gulf Stream. Captain
Spever was. injured while standing on
the decV just before the steamer went
down.
