Article 13 of the Constitution of lion pball become a part thereof, they shall be pasted by two successive As semblies, ratified by a majority of tbe electors of the State voting thereon. On tbe lltb of May, 1874, tbe Gov ernor convened an extra session of the '--eral Assembly of tbe State, which 00 tLe 18,h ,,f ,he sa,,,e u,onlh Pa,s-d j an act providing for a Convention to ; frame a new Constitution.

Ou tbe 1 3th of October, 1674, this Constitution, as theiein pro vided, was submitted to the people for .i i ... , by a large irojority of those qualified to vote thereon, and at ihe same elec- . ... . tcrfercuce with the affair of a State L laud outrages, and on tbe other side to ' belittle them or justify them ! If the publ - .c coutu be oirsctcd 10 a correct . turvy of w hat is proper, aud to re- butiog wrong and aiding the proper authorities in punishing it, a better state of feeling would be inculcated, anj tbe sooner we would bare that peace, which would leave the States free to regulate ffc'eir own' dome tic affairs. 1 believe that on tbe part of the citizens of (be Southern States, the better of them, there is a disposition to be law-abiding and to do uo violence either to individuals or to tbe laws ex isting. But do tbey do right in ignor ing the existence of violence anj blood shed in resistance to constituted au thority ! I s njpathiz: with their pros trate condition, acknowledging that in some instances they have had most try ing Governments to live under, and very oppressive ones in tbe way of tax ation for nominal improvements, not giving benefits equal to tbe hardships imposed. But can they pledge them selves entirely irresponsible for this condition ! Tbey cannot. Violence has been rampant in some localities, and Las either been justified or denied by those who could have prevented it. THE LAV.S TO BE ENFORCED. The theory is even raised that there ! is to be no further interference on the j part wf theGencral Government top)- tect citizeus within a State where the; State authorities fail to give protection This is a great mistake. While I re main Executive, all tbe laws of Con gress and the provisions of the Con stitution, including the recent auieud mcuts added thcrctowill be enforced with rigor, but with regret that tbey should have'added one jot or tittle to Executive duties or powers. Let there be fairness injtthe discussion of the Southern question, the advocates of botbor allpolitical'parties giving hon estj truthful reports of occurrences, condemning the wrong and upholding tbe right, and soon all will be well. The Texas Pacific Eailroad. , , ... ... , Benijits to Government and the Coun try titnernlt to be Derived from it, as set forth lj the .Mcmuruil of the L'omjtnny to Congress. There has been a great deal of de nunciation heaped on Congress for cx- tending land grants and otherwise hel?- ing railroad companies iu tbe far west. As to tbe merits and demerits of such aid it is not our purpose now to speak. We only propose to state that the Texas Pacific Kailroad Company is now ask ing Congress to aid it to complete the road of that Company. Their memo rial to Congress, which is entitled to the fullest consideration, among other things in favor of Congressional aid, says : A Southern truuk line of railroad to ' the Pacific is a necessity, and its con struction should be insured by Govern ment as a practical means of fettling the Iudian question and enabling its vast territories to be safely inhabited and developed. Tbe completion of this line would, it is claimed, enable the Government to move troops cheaply and rapidly, dispense with probably three-fourths of those now employed in Texas and Southern Territories, and thus release the Government from ex penditure amounting to millions of dol lars yearly, and it would moreover be of immense advantage to the nation by bringing into the market hundreds of millions of acres of good land which are dead property to tbe United States, by adding millions of population to tbe present number of producers and tax- payers of tbe country, by wore than t -1 ... T. . T I-. I Ci.. t "y vast increase in onr revenues to be de- rived from importations from Asiatic countries ;. by tbe general stitnulous of production, manufactures, aud trade iu all the States east of the Mississippi to suiply the wants of settlers in tbe new regions to be traversed by tbe road, and by all tbe diversified good in the pur suit of which England, France, ItSel giuui, llollaod, Russia, and Austria have rpent such enormous sums of money, pledged without stint their public credit, and found their reward iu the control of the commerce and trade of the world. It is further ar gued that the construction of this open highway, unobstructed by snow during tbe entire year, across tbe continent, would prove to be a practical measure of reconstruction for tbe South, and that the increased yield of cotton and tobacco from newly-developed territory would swell tbe volume of our exports, and thus aid materially io tbe reten tion of our gold and silver for home circulation. The memorialists assert that it is conclusively established that the saving in transportation atone of Government supplies has averaged $2, 000 per mile per annum for every mile of the Pacific Railroad heretofore built, and call attention to the fact that tbe entire amount of interest which the Government is asked to guarantee in order to secure ths construction of this soutbren line is $1,750 per mile per annum. No guarantee of principal of tbe bonds is solicited, and as a security for the guarantee of tbe interest on tbe bonds tbe Government is to Lave a Erst mortgage on all property, franchises, aud net earnings of the railroad, the eutire proceeds of sales of the lands heretofore granted by tLe United States to the two companies, a restoration to ibe Governmeut of about thirty mil lion acres of land heretofore granted and reserved to aid th construction of the two lines to tbe Pacific, some fifteen hundred miles of which are to be dis Psed with under the plan y.oposed, nd retention in tbe United State - .. ..t .1. 1. ...

Government, if at any time daring the construction of the road the sale of lands, Government transportation, and the entire net earnings of tbe road shall. not prove sufficient to provide for the interest guaranteed and tLe sinking fund required. TLe memorialists say, in conclusion, that they do not propose to besiege Congress by personal pres sure and solicitation, but rely confi dently on the merits of the case as now presented. News Items. " Governor Hrrtranft has' issued the warrant for the execution of Samuel Heighley, on Wednesday, the 20th day of January, 1875.

A large mill on Warehouse Point, Hartford, Conn., occupied by tbe Leo nard Siik Company and the Cbapin & ISarber Silk Crmpany, was totally de- stroyed by fire on the evening of tbe ICth inst. Tbeuiill and outbuildings covered about two acres, aud about 200 Lands were employed in it. The total loss is probably over Lalf a million dollars. The fire was the work of an incendiary. The gasworks of the fac tory supplied the village also, and the inhabitants iu darkness. Tbe loss is a severe one to tbe village as well as to the owners of the mill. J auies Burke, cou victed in Xew York of mayhem, in having bitten off a man's ear, was sentenced on the 1 Gib inst., to fifteen years' hard labor in tbe State Prison.

Tb a Louisville Courier-Journal of ! . .. . . 4tb inst., says: lour employes of the 14th the Louisville and Nashville Railroad were arrested to-day for breaking open freight cars on that road and abstract ing goods t herefrom. Oue of the men arrested was conductor of a freight train, and the other three were bis sub otdinates. Tbeir method of operations was to remove the hasps from tbe door, thus not breaking the seal, then to break open the packages, and, after taking out a portion of tbe coutents, to nail them up again. These robberies have been going on for mouths, and being committed in through-freight cars the company has been unable hereto fore to fix tbe guilt definitely. Ou Sat urday night a way-freight car standing at Rowling Green was broken open in this way, and detectives thus got the first clue to tbe perpetrators, which re sulted in the arrest of the four men as stated. Tbe property stolen from this car, amounting in value to about $2, 000, was recovered at Nashville this afternoon, where the men were arrested. At noon, on last Thursday, the 17th inst., John Clark, engineer of the liar riaburg water works, was killed, and a laborer named Taylor badly hurt. 118 feet of water bad been pumped iuto tbe new stand-pipe, when the pressure forced the bead off a twenty-iuch pipe which is to be connected to another en gine in course of erection. Clark was standing on tbe pipe, and was burled off by the concussion caused by the escape of a twenty-inch stream among stone rubbish, and died a few minutes after being taken out. Taylor was working in a ditch twenty feet distant. About two o'clock on the morning of tbe 17th, fonr men, wearing masks, rode np to the house of a farmer, about 12 mile north of Cfarksrillc, Jackson county, Arkansas.

When interrogated as to his former history the boy said be bad been stolen oue eveuing by two men, who took him off in a carriage, and that the man Scott who had him in charge was one of the kidnappers. Ilis bair bad been dyed by a walnut stain, bis face was shame fully marked where it bad been washed with acid, aud hi back was frightfully scarred. His appearance showed that he had been badly abused, and from all the facts-which coeld be learned by Mr. Ro.-s tbe boy bad undoubtedly been stolen. It was proved, however, that be could not be Charlie Ross, as he bad a mole on his neck which Mrs. Ross says was not on her son. Tbe author ities of Chester refuse to return tbe boy to tbe man in whose care he was discovered, and an application has been made to tbe court by one of the citi zens of Chester to preveut the boy being taken away. Tho man Scott, who bad him in charge, made the bov beg, and the proceeds would be waste! iu liquor by Scott and hi companions who escaped arrest. Leading ques tions were put to tbe boy, and it was thought tbat possibly he was tbe son of a Mr. Libe, of (juiney, Illinois, who was kidnapped about three years ago. Tbe cbild was last seen in a leather store, where ha bad gone to get a whip, as be said he was going to bave a ride. The father has since v.sited every city iu tbe Union in tbe vain hope of recov ering bis son, and has spent all his means in the fruitless search. His friends bate raised $1,000, which they bave offered for the return of the child. Tbe authoriti: of Chester, Illinois, and Mr. Libe are in correspondence, and it will be sosn ascertained whether tbe boy is Mr. Libe' son.
