Let men be good, and government cannot be bad; if It be ill, they will cure It. Bat if men be bad, tel the government be ever so good, they will endeavor to work and spoil it to their turn." Farther, says Penn: "I know some will say, lot ns have good laws, and no matter for the men that faeces them; bat let them consider, that though good laws do well, good men do better; for good laws may want good men, or be abolished or evaded by ill • man; but good men will never want gnat laws and never suffer ill ones." These citations show the estimate in which the founder of this Common wealth held good men, and yet he estab lished *system by which all the hillier qualities for men in public service are striekei down and Ignored. If there is any" trade, art or mystery in which ex perience is of greater Islas than another it relates to the proper discharge of gov ernmental duties. By the third section of the Frame of Government established by Penn, pro. vision WU made for the election of amity -two Councilmen, to be divided into three aliases, to serve one, two and three years respectively. It says : "One-third part of the whole Provincial Council falling off yearly, it shall be supplied by such new yearly elections se aforesaid; and that no parson. stall continue longer than throe years." This la the that limitation upon popular elec tions known In our history, and from It has grown the pernicious system now so generally followed throughout the State. We need not trace the changes in the Government in this particular, while It continued under the control of Penn, for the same principle was con• tinned whilspower was paramount. Alter the commencement of the hero lotion, the Proprietary Government was superseded by the Constitution adopted September 28, 1770. The eighth sec. tion of the second chapter of that WM mail declares that "no person shall ho capable of being elected members Ito serve in the House of Representatives of the Freemen of the Commonwealth more, than four years in seem" The same principle is conspicuous in the eleventh lonian, which provides far the appointment of Members of Congress by the General Assembly.. It says : "No roan, shall sit In Congress longer than two years. succor:ltaly, nor be cep- Oda of reelection for three years after wsrie" The nineteenth section con- Italia Marry strange things. It relates to the election of the Suprema Executive Council, composed of twelve members one-third going • out annually. The argument for the adoption of the system of rotationls stated LI follows "By this mode of election and continual ro tation, more mcn will be trained to public i/Ul l / 1 1tta There will, in every subsequent year, be found in the Coun cil a 'Minter of pinions acquainted with the proceedings of former years, where by the business will be more conveplemtly conducted ; and, moreover, tke danger • of eillablhing an inconvenient aristoe racy will be effectually prevented." It is not our purpose now to combat the rotary pubscipbs, but to show how It was engrafted on our Governmentai system. , The same section also provided that i " Any. Person having served as council maxi tbr three successive years shall be j, incapable of holding that office for three ; years afteraardt." The articles of confedezatton, for the newsman Of the United States, adopt ed In 17103, contain the following: "No state Mail be reinvented in Cengrem by tots than two, nor by more than semen; and no patron dud' be capable of ladng a delegate for more than three years is any term of six years." The same sec tion rip the delegates shall be chosen as the States shall direct, "with a power marled to each State to real! Us dale. gates, or any of them, at any time with in the year, and to sand ethers In their stead for the remainder of the par." Here la the new ides, evidently copied .Irom the rennitylvania Constindlon of 1776, which dlegnallfles a man from • serving longer than two years In bon goes, sad to this .I.s added, "any dela sate may be saperceded at onetime, by —the General assembly appointing on.' other in his stead.", From these provis- IWO of organic laws, swing the notion of right of instructum by the Legis. - Winos of the mend States. Of course, ikon Is no authority of law for the exer cise of time mama 'right; trot inattaa items am resorted to whenever deemed expedient. It is, so to speak, a common /Air right; founded on ancient custom. Okbetter, it is an illustration of the con tinuance of an usage after the reason for trio dlsoppurod. The Constitution of 1770 was shot bled in 1790 by the establishment of a new Government, len restricted than the fonner one. The third section of the second ankle of this Constitution declared-that "the Gaternor shall hold Ids .orbte during three years from the (bird Tuesday in December nextenning hie election, and nail not be capable of holding it longer than dixefn any term of (Wife years. , This "is the only res. trictkur aontathet In that instrument wan the reoLection pf Withers, except that of Sheriff. Still the principle of to- Utica which was established al an ear. bet day was recognized, and, the people very generally adhere to it fip to this time, even -when positive law does not bind them. The amended constitution of the Commonwealth, adopted In XlBB9, changes the limitation of the *entire of La - Connor to Night any term of nine y a w, It was this restriction which lest year pretested the _ friends of Gov. erner Cuing from bringing MU for. wardfor a third term, aa. they certainly 'otherwise would have done, and with ibiolnta Amen There are indications that two years hence, unless he shall meanwhile be elevated to a still higher position, his admirers will Insist upon restoring him to the gubernatorial chair he tilled with high honer to himself and eminent Juotit to the Commcetwcalth and nation.

"Knowledge iv 'Power;" • and this Is just ae true of the special knowl edge essential to a particular fanctiortis to general "knowledge, which constitutes Matsuda or ordinary bitelligenot. It it would not seem Invidious, instances could be adduced of members of Con vene, endowed with only a comparative ly meagre outfit of brains or scholarship, who have become conspicuous by being retained in service term after term. They seem stronger, and are really stronger, in the national councils than much abler men of less experience in that employment. For F many years an imnression pre— vailed that Southern statesmen were vast ly better endowed than their Northern fellows. Thiel was a great mistake. All the eminence 61 the Southern men:con sisted In their retention in office until they had acquired a perfect familiarity with the roles of proceedings, with leg illative precedents, with the executive offices, with the ways of getting at in formation, with the arts of forming coin bLuations, and with all the other expedi ents of parliamentary warfare. They bad the superiority that came of drill cad habit They had the advantage— and it is a great one—which public con tidelMO imparts, and this Is the growth only of Many years of relationship be been a public character and the people. Another, and perhaps most serious evil of the rotation system, is the fact that it prevents many min time-know. !edged talents, aptitudes and rectitude from entering public_ life at all. It is one for a . nian who is conscious of sit 'pular gifts to act laboriously about pre paring himself for usefulness in a partic ular sphere, if he has reasonable salmi, ance that he will be sustained therein by those who have need of his efforts. It is quite another thing for a man to devote many years to a given range of studies with no other expectation than that when he has drilled and equipped him self for ripe usefulness he will be sent, in virtue of an arbitraryand absurd rule, into a retirement where those attain meats will be of no special benefit Stu- slide men will not consume years in mastering an acquirement which be comes valueless to them as soon as gained. This is why, - in multitudes of instances, men of the hest capacities re fuse public Stations and give therruselves up, to the pursuit of private business. When the people get wiser they will radically change their policy in this re gard, by summarily dismissing all In competents, demanding the beat abili ties, and holding steadily on thereto when once found and inducted into Ber- VIC& Glens Lies. It is asserted that there are in this city at leant seven thousand people who wear false eyes. There are two or three places here where false eyes are made and in serted. One house Informs the public that "pcioas deprived of the eye can have title deformity removed by the in sertion of an artificial one, which moves and looks like the natal al organ. pain when inserted. Parties at a distance bating a broken eye, can have another one made without calling personally." The manufacture of these eyes is done entirely Jy hand. A man sits down be hind a jet of gas flame, which Is pointed and directed as he wishes by a blow- The pupil of the eye is made with e drop of black glass imbedded in the cen tre of the iris. The blood vessels seen in the white of the eye are eully put in with red glass while the optic is glowing with a heat like a ball of gold. The whole eye can be made inside of en hour, and it is at once ready to put in. The reader should know that it is simply a thin glass shell, which is intended to cover the stump of the blind eye. Alter being dipped In water this shell is slip pvd :II place, being held ly the eyelids. The secret of imparting motion to it de pends upon working the glass eye so that it shall fit the stump--if it is too large, it will not move; if it fits nicely, it moves in every particular like the natural eye, and it is quite impossible, in many cases, to tell one from the other. The opera tion is not in the least painful, and those who have worn them a number of years feel better with them than when they are out. A glass eye should be taken out every night and put la in the morning. In three or four years the' false eye be comes 10 worn that a new ono has to be obtained: Betae ladles, Who live at e distance from the manufactory, keep a box of glass eyes on hand in case of ac cident,'Vor, besides wearing out, they will break under certain circumstances, as when 1m Heald.' quivers from Eta eye.

Among those' who entered the car in the village wit a gentlemanly ap pearing man, accompanied by two small children and a woman, who was finely dressed, but in a beastly state of intoxi cation. She indulged in the most shock. log language in the car, despite the en treaties of her husband and cries of her children. Finally, her conduct and lan guage became so unbearable that the con ductor wits compelled to eject her from the car, while her husband sat down and, with his little children, wept most bitterly. The aid scene affected many of the passengers to tears.

New GOLD RZOION.—The Black Rills of Dakota, which are an outlying poop of llls belongin to the Rocky Mountain range , are beli g eved to abound in gold, silver, copper, coal, and other minerals. Unlike the mining region of Colorado, these hills are said to yield tine, large timber, while they are water ed by two branches of the Big Cheyenne, a tributes) , of the Upper Missouri. Last spring an expedition of miners and sci entific men was , organized to explore this country, hot it would have been exposed to great dangir from the Indians, and would have added to the calming com plications with them, 'andCeneral Sher aretopestrongly, however with , the frontiersmen impressed a conviction of the mineral and metallic wealth of that country, that a new expe dition will be organized, and they say that they will go next spring m spite of General Sherman.
