HELMBOLD emit girt! ifinat THE KIDNEYS GOUT, OR RHEUMATISM THE tiIiAVEL DROPSI 112EATMENT El= CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM. To the Editor of The Philadelphia /wink,. The necessity for n fundamental reform in our system of legislation is appreciated and admitted by all. The press, without distinc tion of party, has been outspoken for sonic years past, against the marked decline in the integrity, capacity and fidelity of our law timbers. A great State, second to none in all the elements of substantial prosperity, is now the prey of the most reckless legislation known in the country. In vain have party organs appealed for the presentation of honest and competent nomi nees. Each year the tide of corruption seems to grow in magnitude, until now, as a rule, to he a legislator is to accept the distrust of the better class of citizens. The controlling power arum Legislature has become the mere instillment of private specu lations and public wrongs.' General laws, however, earnestly desired by the people, are subordinated to private bills; and the °Mersin the gift of the General Assembly are ghastly running sores of venality and shame. They are, in most instances, • tilled without any deference to the popular will, and with as lit tle regard to , nbility and fitness. The people have ceased to expect their petitions to influ. Once legislation, and citizens of 'repute no lon ger appear before the committees to secure in. telligent and honest aCtion. Professlitital lobbyists confessedly control the Legislature from its organization tp the routine details of passing or defeating bills, and they are sta. ciently potent to prevent all enactments which do not pay onerous tribute' to organized cor ruption. Corporations, and even individuals, engaged in legitimate business which may be affected by legiilation are compelled to employ acknowledged lobbyists to protect them frotn the insatiate legislative appetite for spoils. Every means short of a fundamental limita tion of the powers of the Legislature, have been tried ineffectually to redeem our Slate from the stain and the peril of corrupt enact. ments ; and all intelligent and honest men now confess that the only remedy for this hideous and growing cancer upon the body politic is in a convention to revise the Con stitution of the State. The people must go to the root of the evil if they would eflitct a radi cal cure. The reforms most needed, which can be at tained only by a convention, are : First. The increase el the number of legisla tors to, say one hundred Senators and five hundred Assemblymen. The cost of such bod ies lurching annually under propel constitu tional regulations would not exceed the cost of our present Legislatures. In all States Where there are large legislative bodics,corruption has .never gamed the ascendancy. Most of the New England States forcibly illustrate this fact. Second. Legislative powers should be re stricted to general laws. All private remedies should be in the courts, and till appropriations by private bills prohibited. • Third. All bills should be required to pass by a majority or all the members elected to the respettive houses and on a cull (tithe yeas and nays. Fourth. All bills and all iimendinents there to should be printed and on file before a final Vote could be had on them. Fifth. All increased appropriations for ordi nniy. expenditures should require a two-thirds vote in each branch ; and all bills authorizing the creation of State debts (except to de fend iu war. repel invasion, or suppress insurrection), with the bills creating the revenue to liquidate such debts, should require the sanction of a popular vote. Six th. The sessions of the Legislature should be limited to sixty days, and the salaries of all officers fixed by the Constitution. Fully thirty-nine out of every forty bills passed by our late Legislatures have been private bills. Sixty days would be amp le time for the con sideration of all public measures. Seventh. All Legislators eleoathould be cc gnired in qualifying as membefitrikf swear or affirm that they have not, directly or indirectly, paid or promised anything of value to influ .ence votes to elect them ; and that they have not received, and will not receive. anything of value in consideration of any official act. Eighth. The State Treasurer should be elected by the people for a term of years, and the public funds placed beyond the reach of priente speculation. There are other questions of reform deemed vital by many people„w Welt should be con sidered and passed upon. The proposition to declare railroads public highways under just regulations; to prohibit the issue of fictitious stocks and bonds by corporations; the in crease of our Supreme Judges, and the proper - limitation or the now onerous and (Wien inap propriate duties; the creation of sufficient con stitutional judicial tribunals to meet the de. In of justice, and thus protect all courts from the caprice hr prejudice of the Legisla ture ; the claim of minorities to just represen t ttion by cumulative voting and. many other measures of moment unite in milting the de mand imperative for a revision of our Consti don. I respectfully subnlit through your columns, to the people of the State, the following bill to be presented to the next Legislature for its consideratioil. An Act to Provide for ikileviBion of the Con stitution of the State of Pennsylvania. Section 1. Be it enacted, T., That the quali fied electors of this Commonwealth shall, on the second Tuesday of June next, vote at the usual places for holding general elections, written or printed, or partly written or partly printed, ballots labelled "For a I:onventlon" or " Against a Convention," and the votes so cast shall be received by this election officers in a separate box, anti computed and returned In lilw manner as the vote for Governor is now required to be computed and returned by late. Section '2. The qualified electors shall, at the same election, choose thirty delegates at large to the proposed Convention for the lie. vision of the Constitution, by general ticket t . but each voter shall vote but fifteen ballots for said delegates at large, and said fifteen ballots may be cast all for one candidate, or divided among different candidates, in such proportion as each voter may prefer. Section :3. Representative Delegates to said proposed Convention shall be elected by the several counties of this State, and by the sev- i oral Senatorial Districts of the city of Phila. dolphin. Each county shall elect nt h&A one Representative Delegate, and counties having a-population in excess of thirty thous and, and the several Senatorial Districts of the eity of Philadelphia shall each elect one Rep esentative Delegate for every thirty thousand Population contained therein, and also one Delegate for any fraction e ceeedint , fifteen thousand population ; the Gutted Sta tes' een• sus of MO to be the basis for adjusting the number of Delegates each county end Sena toiet District In the city of Philadelphia shall he entitled to. And the Governor of .the State shall make ()Metal proclamation of the apportionment of Representative Delegates, in accordance with the (Akin! provisions of this net, and the census of 1870, within ten days after the passage of this art ; and In said coun• ties and Senatorial Districts where more than one delegate Is to be chosen, the voters thereof may cast their ballots respectively all for one of the candidates, or divide their votes ainong the several --candidates, as the electors may prefer ; but no elector shall cast more votes than the number of Delegates to be elected in his county or district; and the votes cast for Representative Delegates shall be computed and returned in like manner us the votes tor tIM Members of the Assembly are now by law requirequired to be computed and returned. red 4. On or before the second Tuesday of July next the Governor shall make procla, 'nation of the vote for and against a conven tion, and if a majority shall be for a conven tion, the Delegates elected, as belbre provided, shall meet in Harrisburg on the first Tuesday of September next, at noon, to revise the Con- stitution of the State for the consideration of the people thereof. On the day of meeting the Governor shall transmit the returns for members to the body, and said body shall he the sole judge of the qualification of its mem bers. Section 5. Said Convention shall have power to select such subordinate officers as its mem bers may deem necessary, ttnd to make and enforce rules, Se., with like power as is now conferred upon the house of Representatives. The compensation of said members shall he dollars per clay, and mileage as now paid to members of the Legislature ; but no addi tional emwensation whatever shall be paid to members of said Convention ; and said Con vention shall adjourn sine die on or before the first day of April, 1872. Upon the adjourn ment of said .Convention the Governor shall cause the amendments proposed by said body to be promptly published in at least one paper in cacti county In the Stale, for at least six weeks, for the information of the people ; and on the second Tucsrlay of June thereafter, the qualified voters of the State shall vote at the usual places for holding general elections, for or against the various amendments proposed. The vote so cast shall be computed and returned as the vole for Governor is now required to be computed and returned by law ; and on the Monti day of July - following, the Governor shall make proclamation or the votes cast for and against said proposed amendments ; and such amendments as shall lucre been ratified, will, upon such proclamation, become inejr penned with, and part of, the fundamental law of the Commonwealth. The special elec tions herein provided for shell be governed by the same laws as are applicable to the gen eral elections of this Commonwealth, Seption O. It' the majority of the votes cost at the election on the second Tuesday of June next shall he against a convention, then the election of delegates nut herelnbefore provided, shall be void and or no effect. • It will be seen that the bill provides for spe• cinl electionti .to decide On calling a conven tion, and to ratify or reject the amendments. It will be urged by every enemy of reform that special elections are a tax alike upon the . time and means of the people. All profes sional lobbyists, all Treasury rings, all pres ent and proscriptive Legislators who hope to profit by official prostitution, and ill who ex pect to gain offices by debauching. the Legis lature—which they could not procure from the people—will find abundant plausible pre teXts for opposing prompt reform ; but the people should assert their majesty and de mand that the questions of constitutional re form be passed upon without embarrassment from political struggles and c,omplications. The system of cumulative voting has already been formally demanded by the brave Repub licans of the minority counties, who haye bat tied steadfastly against the overwhelming odds, and who have been bartered in Wash ington like sheep in the shambles. Their claim in behalf of minorities appeala to every consideration of justice in a popular govern ment, and it will command the approval of a very large majority of the people of the Stale. Ily electing thirty delegates at large, and limiting each voter to fifteen ballots, both parties have an invitation to select their ablest men, which tiny cannot disregaM ; and by cimulative voting in the several counties and districts both parties must be fairly repre sented, and badqk nominations could not be forced upon the people by Ilia party lash. Let the friends of constitutional reform or. ganize promptly for action. You will he met at every step by the quibbles attic cowardly, and the open hostillity of the shamelessly venal. Your enemies will be tireless, and their means will be neither few nor feeble. Unless they are met by the united energies of the people, they will defeat any measure de. signed to limit their channels of peculation. Vote for no man for the Legislature, how ever nominated, who will not pledge himself sto ro.v.r a 00,, onttnn nod vote for no man, however nominated or however pledged, whose tried integrity is not an ample guaran tee of his fidelity as a representative. Such action on the part of the people will give us a convention, and a convention is the last hope of reform. A. K. McCiatitu. PIIILADELI . III.I August 1, 1870 _DISABLED FOR LIFE 1 Dispatch Carrier's Story El= " I will never be able to use that right arm again, Cap.," he said, as we sat smoking our regalias, on the Mrward upper deck of a Mis sissippi floating palace, which had just left the levee at New Orleans. Ile was an able•bodied soldier, but his right hand and arm were sluiveled to the proportion of a child's. "If you like, I'll tell you how it occurred." 1 signified the pleasure it would atiord me, and he proceeded : It was a shabby trick on the part of ma old comrade in the—Regiment, N. Y. S. Volun teers, which clothed me again in Uncle Snot's blue, after having served four years, attained the rank of Major, and been 'honorably dis charged. I had been slightly is °untied twice, and never for a moment anticipated making myself again a target for the practice of others. I lout Captain Drein one night on Broad way, and nothing would serve but like old chums•we must take a social smile ; the result of this conviality was my finding myself the next morning enlisted in the United States army. Although deeply mortified at the re sult of the previous night's dissipation, I found on examining the papers, that everything was correct and there, was no getting out of the scrape except through the intervention of the Secretary of War. The cause of my downfall informed me that I had insisted on enlisting and told him point blank that if he wouldn't have me I'd find some one who would ; he accordingly made the best of a bad job, and knowing toy courage of old, etc., had enrolled me. lam sorry for the credit of Uncle Sam to be obliged to state that Captain Drein pre •aricated in his story. Tlw same evening, under charge of Captain Drein, I was forwarded with a squad of re. emits to Kansas. So rapid was the transition that scarcely any opportunity was afforded Inte to communicate with my friends until our ar rival at our post, Fort--; wherj I was ap pointed orderly sergeant of this company sta tioned there folder command of Captain Wein. 1 wrote several letters to my friends, but,. receiving no answer, filially, through the hands of an old trapper who was going to Washing ton, forwarded a letter direct to the Secretary of War. To this I received a polite reply, stating that at present it was impossible to dis charge me, that my case would be considered, and in the mean time I was appointed dis , patch carrier between Fort— and Fort Kearney. This was a slight step upward, and comparatively speaking, Millie my own sins ter. • The route I had to traverse two or three times a week was long and dangerous, being that traveled by emigrant trains,:` The redskins were sometimes troublesome, but the greatest danger was from an organized band of bushwhackers that infested the region, to whose agency many a crime attributed to the Indians might have been readily traced. Last August the troops at Fort were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the pumas: ter, and many were the questions put to me in regard to his coming. On reaching Fort Kearney on my down trip, I found his wagon among the rest of the train, and heard that he had paid off the trocips there, but owing to a • deficiency of funds would proceed no further at present. I knew that this would ben source of un qualified disappointment to our buys, as a number of them had wives and families to a great extent dependent on their pay for sup port, and to whom this delay of tho usual so- nuttances would cause considerable inconve- MEM On starling on toy return trip, the conunalt• slant at Fort Kearney intrusted a packet to my charge, to be delivered to Capt. Drell), and cautioned me to guard carefully, as it wits valuable. Capt. Drein remarked on Opening it, " All right ; were you aware of the contents of this ," I replied that I supposed it eon• 'tattled his pay. "No," he answered ; the major being in haste to return, has tbrwarded the men's pay to me. You'll have n large amount down to express for them. I hear that S—'s gang are working near us, so keep a sharp look that they don't gobble you up." "I'll do that," I remarked. I noticed that the orderly—a man whom I had n, ver liked—was close to the opening ol• the 1(.111 as I emerged, but thought nothing of it at the time . The next morning bright and early,, tt ith the letters and inclosures carefully packed in toy sadtic-Lugs, I started blithely on my trip. About o'clock in the afternoon I reached the most dreary portion of toy route, where the mail coach mail cuts tlu•ough a piece of heavy timbered land. There was also a bridle path, which being shorter, though loneli.•r, I determined on this occasion to follow, as I desired to reach the other end in time for the stage that passed at 6 P. M. Having eaten nothing, since. morning, and having a few minutes to spare, I turned Kitty, my little six-year old sorrel, loose to graze, knowing that she would not stray liar ; then lighting a fire I speedily had toy tin pot or cot fee in preparation. I Blacked some bttekbcr• ries which grew luxuriantly thereabouts, anti had just seated myself to eat toy meal whcit . the whizz of a bullet close to my year, accom panied by the sharp report tat a ride behind me, caused me to turn, and then I sau• that the bushwhackers were upon me. Kitty responded to my whistle, told in an instant I wits in saddle. But which way should I go? the trap was well sprung - -I was surrounded on all sides- I must act slinkily if I would save myself, and, with the principle of life which quickens the instinct at the mo ment of extreme danger, I emptied two rels of my revolver and a like timber or the saddles or my assailants' horses almost simul taneously. Then laying close to the back of my little beast, thus affording but a small mark for the missiles of toy pursuers, which HI thickly around ate, I gave Kitty the spur, and a chirrup of encouragement, as trite to her met tle she darted like an arrow down the by-road through the ranks of the nou•aaders. Then I experienced n hot singing sensation across my shoulder like the cut or a !mire and and shrill cry from Kitty told that the wane ball that traversed my shoulder blade had passed through her right ear. If I had tried I could not have stopped taet• then for she was completely frenzied. In rap• pid succession I received three (alter wounds, the last striking, the arm pit, passed arou n d the bone and lodged a little to the right of the socket or toy bridle-urns ; the agony was ex. crutiating and I stale near Minting ; but cling ing desperately I managed to keep from being unhorsed. I heard the imprecations of my pit liter's growing fainter as I gained groom' ; should Kitty escape further injury I f e lt that her superior speed would carry me safely though unless she gave out ; and how I prayed that this might not occur. There was no ne cessity of urging, for, With extended head, en's laid back on her neck, rye flashing, and distended nostrils, she pressed Ilu•ward like a whirlwind. I had forgotten till this moment that we were approaching a small stream near the junction of the main road. I could hear it rushing through the usually narrow channel now widened to quite a chasm by the heavy rain of the previous day. There was no bridge. Could Kitty leap the yawning gulph before us ; not, what would be the result ? Bless her lwart, she never paused, but draw ing her feet beneath her, she cleared the alty(is at one bound, striking with her fore feet on the opposite bank; with straining haunch, lunged upward and onward. Ilow I held my seat I know not, for in my weakness from loss of blood the collision caused nee to faint. On recovering, I found myself on the ground, with several officers and soldiers near ine. I had fallen from my faithtul conduc tress, who on the approach or the stage, Iron, ed 01.11 un the main road and 111111111 ed a sig• nal of distress. Col.

" Can you doubt that I love her."

The inhabitants are mostly from the North—u sturdy, hardworking yeomanry, bringing down those habits of industry and sobriety which have made a garden 1111111 of even cold and rocky New England. Their principles are also of the North, but this does not seem to trouble the goad Virginians who have set• tied among them, for they are not • making II politiCal colony. They raitio down on the borders of the sunny touth to make homes for themselves, not to become ofllcetholders. So the fields, as far as the eye can reach, are un. tier cultivation, and all the busy activities, of the farm are in cheerful progress.

While Ralph Moore was indulging in these reflections, the dark-robed little damsel whom he had confronted, was dashing down the street with quick, elastic step, utterly regard. less of her basket of unsold nuts that dangled upon her arm. Down an obscure lane 'she darted, between tall, ruinous rows of houses, and up mirrow, wooden staircases to a room where a pale, neat looking woman with largo brown eyes like her own, was sewing as if the breath eel' life depended on every stitch, and two little ones were playing in the sunshine that temporarily supplied the place of absent Mary, back already ?
