Special Election,
in favor of
VOTE FOR ALL OF THE AMENDMENTS :
The special election for Constitutional
amendments takes place on Tuesday the
2d day of August. Every voter should
be certain to cast his vote on this he'.
portant occasion, and vote for all three
of the amendments. All loyal papers
urge voting for the amendments, ley
allude to the
,first proposed amendment
confirming the right of the Soldiers to
But there is much dangearom
using that expression. There are three
amendments to be voted upon separate
ly. A vote "for the atnend o inent" is no
vote at all--it will be cast out, and not
counted. If you wish IVid the Soldiers
in the use of the elective franchise, vote

the ticket head 4 ed "First Amendment,"
and coutabeing within it, the words "for
the amendment." Nor will voting "for
the tgendments," in a lump, answer—
each amendment mast be voted for, or
against, by itself, to have the vote cast
of any avail.
The First Amendment is for the Sol
diers, to be voted on accordingly.
The Second and Third Amendments
are designed to aid in proper legislation,
to prevent ambiguity and confusion, and
check the frauds and trickery practised
by some men, in and out of the legisla
ture. They are, therefore, very import
ant.
The Second A.mendpeat is as follows
" No bill shall be passed by the legis
lature containing more than one subject,
which shall be clearly expressed in the ti
tle, except appropriation bills."
Now, is it not manifest that in com
mon honesty, and for the protection of
the Mass of the people, that the object
of bills should be fairly seen on their
face,and that every subject matter should
stand or fall on its own merits? No
fair man, it seems to us, should hesitate
to vote for the second amendment.
The Third Amendment reads :
'" No bills shall be passed by the leg
islature granting any power or privileges
in any case where the authority to grant
lineh powers or privileges has been or
may hereafter be conferred upon the
Courts of this Commonwealth."
This, also,is obviously just and politic.
Yeti much of the - time of the lesielature
is occupied upon corporations which
could and should be uniform •in their
character, and the propriety of granting
which could be much better and more
fairly determined by the Court [or Jud
ges and . Grand Jurors] of their respect
ive counties, than by a 133 men who are
strangers to most of the corporators and
to the locality interested.
iNtiw, voting FOR slim of the three
anibodments would be more likely to in
sure the success of all—while omitting
one or two, or voting against them,
would complicate voting, and might en
danger the first. Therefore, vote for
the whole three amendments. See that
yotir ticket is right before voting.

A fIAYIs,OIIE BIBLE.--The colored
people of: altimore have had manufac
tured, as a present to the PreAdept of
the United States, the most magnificent
bible ever manufactured in this country.
The cover is of blue velvet, tipped at
the corners with heavy gold mountings
and clasped with bars of solid gold.
The cover bears a large plate of gold,
representing a slave with his shackles
falling from him in a cotton field, stretch
ing out his hands in gratitude to Presi
dent Lincoln for the freedom of the slave.
At the.feetithe freedman there is a
scroll bearing upon its face the word
"Emancipation," in large letters. On
the reverse cover of the bible is another
gold plate containing the following in
scription : "TO'Abraham Lincoln, Presi
dent of the United States, the friend of
universal freedom, by the loyal colored
people of BaltiMore, as a token of re
spect and gratitude, Baltimore, July 4th,
1.864." The book is enclosed in a hand
some walout,box, silver mouoted, with a
silver plate on the top bearing the
words "Holy Bible," and a beautiful de
sign of the Capitol. The entire affair
cost $5,800.

SMOTBERED IN A CHEST.—One of the
most remarkable and distressing events
that we ever recorded took place last
week in the township of Newburg. An
drew Schoger lives near the Buckeye
House, on the Kinsman street road, lead.
ing to Warrensville, better known as
Dolph Edward's tavern. About 4
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon Mr.
Schoger and wife went into the field with
their oldest boy, to get a loud of hay,
leaving four children—Mary, aged 7
years; Charles, 10 years; John, 4 years,
and Catherine, 1 year old, at home.
The parents told the children to go into
the corn house and shell some corn for
the chickens. Returning from the field
the children could not be found. Search
was made, the neighbors rallying to the
assistance of the distressed family, and
the search of the premise, including
the corn house and the woods, was con
tinued through the night, but without
success. This morning (Thursday) the
corn house was again searched, and on
opening on old German chest standing
there the children were found smothered
to death, and their faces turned black
from suffocation. The children, at play,
had got into the chest, and had either
themselves shut down the lid, or the lid
fell down and a spring lock shut them in
that living tomb.
NEW STYLE STANIPS.--Owing to the
Trawls committed by persons removing
to.. marks from old po:ttago stamps, the
Pest 011 ice D , .parttnetit considering the
introduction of a stamp that can be used
but once. It is thus described "The
body of the stamp is wadi' of goldheater's
skin (instead of paper) which is tough
and so nearly transparent that the print
ed impression shove almost as well on
one side as on the other. The design,
the legend, numerals, &c., are intended
to be read through from beneath, and
therefore printed in reverse. When the
stamp is wet and glued on the letter, it
remains permanent and unchanged, un
til some person attempts to peel it off'.
He then finds that the printed matter
remains attached to the letter, while the
gold beater's skin comes off quite color
less, and having scarcely trace of "post•
age" about it.
far The New York city newspapers,
on or before the first day of August, will
raise (the dailies) their prices to a jive
cent standard.—The advance would have
taken place ere now but for the disincli
nation of one establishment to venture
upon the experiment. The increased
and increasing cost of all the materials
that enter into the manufacture of a
newspaper has made this step a positive
necessity, and one which can no longer
be deferred.
if i r It is asserted that vast numbers
among the better educated of the Cath
olic clergy of Prance and Italy are not
merely opposed to the temporal power
of the Pope, but regard the dogma of
the Immaculate Conception with scarce•
ly concealed contempt. They also feel
the necessity of harmonizing theology
with science, and consider forced celi
bacy as a hindrance rather than an aid
to holiness of life.
The Conneautville Courier is in
formed on good authority that Jamas
Decker, of Cussowaga township, aged
one hundred and four years, a few days
since walked a distance of four miles in
about three hours. The old gentleman
returned from his walk without the least
sign of fatigue, and says he is able to
perform the same feat again.

house of Troy similar success was met
with.

Vir It is a matter of congratulation
that the secessionists of Maryland were
the prineipal sufferers in the recent raid.
Supposing that their treasonable con
duct toward our Government would in
sure them the kindest treatment from
the invading force, they did not move
their horses or cattle to a place of safe
ty. They found, much to their surprise,
no doubt, that the rebels do not respect
those who have not the pluck to join the
Southern cause. The result was, that
these very Secessionists lost all their
stock, their valuable horses, and were
plundered alike with Union people.

the N. Y. Tribune, whether the payment
of $3OO commutation exempts for three
full years from all•drafts, are informed
that such payment, if made at any time
prior to February last, does so exempt.
In February the law was changed so
that the payment of $3OO thenceforth
exempted only for the impendlng draft ;
while since the passage of the act of

whatever. All who are henceforth

in pereon or by substitute.
