Some of the smalt fry Democratic pap.-.rs
Fay that "one of the last political utterances
of John Covode, was the prediction that tu-.

Every effort on the part of Republican
members, says the Pittsburgh Gazette, to
bring the question of a Constitutional Con
vention before the Senate, is defeated by
the Democrats. Mr. White's motion to
make all bills for a Constitutional Reform
Convention the special order for Thursday
next, was defeated by tho Democracy.
From the hour that Democracy has had
control of the Senate, it has proven itself
utterly unworthy the confidence of the peo
ple. It has trampled on all law and order,
violated plain rules, and taken ground ut
terly impossible to justify, either in hon
efety or sound sense, with the public. Not
withstanding its most earnest promises of
reform it evades the question whenever it
is brought up, and defeats every attempt
to secure a fair discussion on the question
of a Constitutional Convention. Holding
the power iu the Ser.ate, gained through a
most outrageously fraudulent election, cov
ered over by equally gross frauds by the
Democratic Senators, it is every day prov
ing to wh.-.t underhand means it can resort
t'". when it I'.ms the power. But let it be
kept before tlij people ; Demoevscy is in
favor of special logi jladon as well as cor
ruption aud !i.iud, and is doing its best to
rrevent haviug tho Constitution reformed.
The hollowne.ss of its parry cry thus be
comes exposed, and it can bo more thor
oughly realized how unreliable are all its
protestations and promise.;. Wallace, as
speaker, made a bitter, vindictive, partizan
and threatening speech when he took his
cCiee in the Senate. After abusing ibe
Republican party, he immediately set aside
all law iu the Lyod:dI-Decheit case. Having
made up a windy speech over what have
been the rules of the Senate, and declared
what should not be oITered as bills, he
breaks his own word and receives bill after
bill relating to th-? very subjects he declared
were excluded. This ia Democratic reform.
The National Election Laws.
Democracy is stirred to its heart's core,
(says a Republican cotetnporary,) by what
it calls, the "famous bayonet election law."
The fact of some provision being necessary
to preserve the purity of the ballot-box, is
so Eelf evident that it requires no argu
ment. Without such a provision, popu
lar elections would be nothing but a farce.
If the Democratic party had realty and
truly any respect for the law or the Con
stitution, it mhjht bo possible that such a
provision as was lately presented ia Con
gress was not necessary. As it is, how
ever, nothing but the knowledge that a
strong and determined power enforces the
rights of the people, will prevent Democ
racy getting into power through fraud and
violeuce. It will be seen, however, that
those opposed to such provisions, have no
arguments to support their reckless and
untruthful assertions. They rail to point
out in any instance where an individual
Uas been wronged, or where he has been
prevented casting his vote, through the
operations of the law. All they do, and
all they can do, is to hurl epithet after ep
ithet at the Republican party, without, iu
a single instauee, attempting to prove that
the operation of the law wi.'l have an in
jurious effect. -Their clamor over the
rights of the people to cast their ballots,
uninfluenced by Federal interference, is the
most miserable Liud of trah. Who has
been inteifered with? Is it not a known
fact that tho .Democratic party is to-day
responsible for the atnkiij of such laws?

erection of places ot punishment. Had it
not been for ballot-Lux stuffing, for fraud,
violence, iutiaiidation and rioi, by the De

The Arkansas Trouble. A curious
state of affairs exists in Arkansas, which
may lead ia the end to .serious difficulties
in that Stnto Tho wholf tron!,!,. niic:
member of the Legislature. 1 he impeach

v-.te of 42 to 3S. Of these 42, stys the
I'ittsburg iiazrttr, thirty were Democrats,
The other twelve were Brooks' and John

voted agaiust impeachment, and had it not

The return of taxables in Fulton county
having been transmitted, completes the list,
and the Legislature now has every data on
which to proceed with the apportionment of
the State.
The people throughout the State kave
been anxiously looking for a movement in
tespect to the apportionment of the State.
Now that the necessary data is complete, it
is to be hoped that the matter will be
promptly proceeded wirji, and that the
work may be honestly and weil done. 1
The petitions for the prohibition of the
sale i if intoxicating liquors which have come
into the Legislature, ibis winter, are over
whelming and unprecedented in number and
signatures. The IiOcal Option Bill is urged
by at least a hundred thousaud petitioners,
whose memorials are now on file in both
Houses.
What the representatives of the people,
at Harrisburgh, will do in the premises, is
not as yet apparent. ' That intemperance is
on the increase, in many localities, is unde
niable, and that some preventive is neces
sary all will agree. But, how can this much
desired reform be most effectually Lrought
about,? is a question ujioii which there is a
diversity of opinion. Moral .suasion, and
the making of dealers in intoxicating liquors
responsible for all damages and injuries sus
tained through its sale, would, perhaps, be
the best and most speedy remedy.
In the bill reported by Mr. Butkalew, to
the Senate, to authorize the election of del
egates to a Convention, to amend the Con
stitution of this State, a provision occurs
that, after the Convention meets, any thirty
members of it may demand that any pro
vision of the amended Constitution shall be
submitted to a separate vote of the people,
and upon such demand being made such
provision of the Constitution shall be sep
arately submitted to the popular vote.
The Contention, according to this bill, is
to consist of 140 members. It follows that,
if 1 10 members vote against submitting a
particular proposition to the popular vote
and 30 for it, the 30 will prevail over the
110! Is not this running minority repre
sentation into the ground? By what rule
of fairness can 30 men be made equal in
power to 110, in a republican government?
The great principle upou which republican
governments is founded is that the major
ity shall rule. According to Mr. Bucka
lew's idea, this is all to be reversed, and
henceforth the minority is to rule.
Peace ! Peace !
From France we have the intelligence
that the conclusion of peace is now certain
that Thiers and Favre and the Consultative
Couitni.-siou have accepted the following
conditions: 1st. The cession of A!aee and
Metz, but Belfort to be restored to France.
2d. The payment of a war indemnity of five
milliards of francs, (one thousand millions
of dollars). 3. A portion of French terri
tory with some fortified towns, like Sedan,
to remain in possession of the Germans un
til the conditio. is of the traaty are fullilled.
4th. The German army to enter Paris on
Monday, and occupy the Champs E'.yscs.
oth. Peace to be proclaimed when the
French Assembly ratisSus these conditions.
Bismarck might have cuforced other
more obnoxious conditions than this cession
of territory; but less than this the Ger
mans would not accede to, and France could
not well a.-k him to grant more. If any are
wronged iu this forced restitution of proper
ty formerly taken from Germany, it is the
people who are transferred with the proper
ty, not France. The indemnity claim is
considered moderate, when contrasted wkh
the great sacrifice which Germany has been
unnecessarily forced to make. But she can
rest contented with the laurels she ha3 won
in this contest.
So far as can be judged" from the news,
the French are submitting to the conditions
offered, with better grace than was antici
pated. There have been no violent demon
7tratii3i:s, nor even the bitter protests that
might have beca expected. But now a
Crisis is upon France, hardly less momen
tous than the recent past. The formation
of a new Government confrouts her. Fac

conciled or subdued. Upon the suc

denounced all partisanship iu judicial offices.
Having done this the convention proceeded
to make a partisan nomination, and wound
up by the passage of another resolution de
claring that "the Democracy of Michigan

Some good points on the Democracy, and
particularly the leader-? of that party in
New York, were made in the House, by
Mr. Dickey, during the debate oa the army
appropriation bill. Mr. Brooks, of New

against the use of the soldiery at the polls
instead of in fighting the Indians. Mr.
Dickey replied that he thought there was
more danger to the liberties and institu
tions of the country from the Indians of
New York than from those of the plains.
A council of the chiefs of Tammany
Tweed, Sweeney, and Connelly was more
dangerous than any Indian council held by
Ued Cloud, Spotted Tail, or Thunder Cloud.
If no other arraignment of the President
of the United States or the officers of the

survive all such attacks as that made by the
gentleman from New York iu the iuterest

to by Mr. Stoughton, of Michigan, who
very properly rebuked the Kentucky mem

was vested in the United States in the first
place by the right of conquest, and in the
