Vote on the New Constitution.
The election passed off quietly liere,
being all one way, like the handle of
a jug. The rote in tho borough stood
50 fur and 3 against tho New Consti
tution, while Tioncstn Township tlie
whole vote, which consisted of about
30, "Va8 in favor of the New Constitu
tion. It is not believed that, through
out the county, more than half tho
ntire vote was out, owning to the
bad roads, and to the fact that nearly
11 believed that tho adoption of tho
Jiew constitution was assured. Yc go
to press before the morning papers
reach us, and consequently are not
able to give tho guesses of those pa
lmers on the subject. Our opinion is
that the new constitution has carried
by a considerable majority.'
We notice that the Postmasters
throughout the United States are agi
tating the subject of presenting a bill
to Congress to make it obligatory on
all newspapers to prepay all postage
on their circulation. It would seem
that there is a cortain'numher of men
who wish all country newspapers to
top publication. - This bill, if passed,
will have the desired eflbct to a great
extent. If the postmasters don't want
to do the work assigned them, they
,liad better resign, and we'll warrant
that there will be plenty of good men
found to take their places. VVonld'nt
it be a good idea for Congress to pass
bill to require newspaper publishers
to deposit the subscription price of
their papers with the P. O. De
partment, as a guarantee that they arc
taoi going to suspend and cheat the
government? Such agitation reflects
no credit ou those engaged in it, and
proves only that they want more case
and the same pay at the expense of
the lives of the majority of the coun
try newspapers throughout the land.
, , Gen. Belknap, the Secretary of
War, has sent a letter to tho House
making direct charges cf fraud aud
malfeasance in office ngainst Brigadier
General O. O. Howard, in connection
with the management of the Freed
men's Bureau. This letter is accom
panied by evidence from the records
and accounts of the late Bureau,
which, fully sustniu the Secretary's
charges. For a long time before the
Bureau was closed and its affairs turn
ed over to the Adjutant General's of
lice, there were reports current in
Washington that touch looseness, if
not positive dishonesty, existed iu its
management. This report will be apt
to lead to such a thorough examina
tion as will clearly briug out the truth.
The high character sustained by Gen
eral Howard will lend to a regretful
'-acceptance of tho statements made.
'resident Grant was outspoken in
his message in favor of the passage, by
Congress, of a bill, conferring Civil.
liigl.ts on the colored jimple." When
called on by representatives from
tho convention of colored men, be
said, among other things, thut he pro
Miinud some Civil' Bights bill would
pus, milling -that "if sin h a bill is
1 ti uted it will probably be because
fctiiim extreme measure will bo urged
by h person claiming to be a particu
lar friend of tho. colored man." While
this looks as if aimed at Suuiuer, it is,
nevtrihelets true.
The Brookville Jtepublican of last
-week has the following:
A meeting of the friends of Tern
'perauee was held i:i the M. E Church
in Monday evening, lust. Wm. Dick

Clark aud J. C. White-hill.
The following resolutions were of
furvd by Dr. Hunt, which were adopted

good meu and women to stand shoul
der to shoulder in the great struggle for

quences.
Resolved, TLut tho thank, of all
rood men and woman urn henihv fm
