Seven important amendments to the constitutldrif oflndfafcd haVe ISedi agreed to by a majority of the membert? elected to each of the two houses 6f the General Assemblies of 1877 and 1878, and by an act of the last General Assembly, approved March 10th, 18T9, these said amendment? are to he submitted to the electors of the State of Indiana for ratification or Uon, at an election to be held on the Monday in April 1880. The law providing for the submission of these amendments to the electors of the State enacts that "The Secretary of State shall procure ballots of blue paper on each or which jail be printed the proposed amendments, «ad below each amendmenfc «haH beprtntJll the word 'Yen' In one line, and in afiOtber line the word 'No that any qualified elector may vote for or against any amendment by depositing one of said ballots in the ballot-box. If he intends to vote for any amendment he shall leave thereunder the word 'Yes* and erase the word 'No' by drawing a line across it, or otherwise. If he intends to vote against any amendment, the word 'Yes' shall in a like manner be stricken out and the word •No' left and if both words are allowed to remain without either of them being so erased, the vote shall not be counted either way." These amendments are designated bjf numbers, and are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9, number# 7 and 8 having failed to receive a majority of the votes of both branches of the last General Assembly.

The ratification of each of these amendgftnents is of such vital importance to the "ipuUire well-being and prosperity of the ppdple of Indiana as to justify a special eifort in their behalf by every one having these objects at heart. They are mainly confined to the subjects of economy and honest elections.

AMENDMENT NO 1.

Amend section two of article two so as to read as follows: Section 2. In all elections not otherwise provided for by this Constitution, every male cittzen of the United States of the age of 21 years and upwards, who shall have resided in the State during the six months, aud in the township 60 days, and in the ward or precinct 80 days immediately preceding such election, and every male of foreign birth, of the age of 21 years and upwards, who shall have resided In the United States one year, and shall have resided in the State during the six ginonths, and in the township 60 days, and In the ward or precinct 80 days immediately preceding said election, and shall have declared nis intention to become a citizen of the United States, conformably to the laws of the United States on the subject of naturalization, shall be entitled to vote in the township or precinct where he may reside, if he shall have been duly registered according to law.

As the Constitution now stands, no fixed period of residence is required in a town ship or ward before voting, and no barriers against fraudulent voting can be maintained. When this amendment is adopted, one whose vote is challenged will have to swear that he has been a resident of the township 60 days,und of the ward or precinct 80 (lays, and thus the importation of votes and frauds upon the nallot box may be measurably prevented. No one can object to this amendment who favors fair aud honest elections.

AMENDMENT NO.

simply provides for striking out the words: "No negro or mulatto shall have the right of suffrage," contained in section five of the second article of the Constitution.

And thereby conforming the constitu tSon of Indiana to the Constitution of the United States. The prohibition as it stands in the constitution of Indiana today is a dead letter.

AMENDMENT NO 8.

Amend section 14 of the second article to read: Section 14. All general elections shall be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, but township elections may be held at such time as mav be provided by law. Provided, that the General Assembly may provide by law for the election of all judges of emirts of general and appellate Jurisdiction ly an election to be held for such officers only, at which time ho other officers shall be voted for and shall also provide for the registration or all persons entitled tb vote.

The arguments In favor of this amendment are mainly those of economy. The cost of holding general election in Indiana is about ,000 to the bounty, or nearly $100,000. By this amendment the State is saved the expense (if doable elections on Presidential election years. But this is not all. The other States of the Union having newly all changed the time of their elections to November, as long as Indiana continues to vote in October she assumes the heat and burden of the Presidential day. In 1876, counting money expended and time devoted to it, the Octoi»er election cost the people of Indiana over #1,000,000, which expense was avoided by the States that did not vote until November. This amendment Is clearly in the interest of economy and business prosperity. Business in the State is utterly demoralised for three months when the State is compelled to bear the brunt of the Presidential campaign.

AMENDMENT NO.

amends by striking: the word "white" from sections 4 and 5 of article 4, conforming the same to the Constitution of the United States. .,?=

AMKNDMBKT NO.

amends the Hth, clause of section 33 of article 4 to read as follows: In relation to fees and salaries, except the laws may be, so made to grade the compensation of officers In proportion to the population and the necessary services required.

This provision will enable the General *-v\ssembly to grade the compensation of county officer^ And pay them in proportion to the population of the county and the services actually required, ft will take away from the General Assembly the excuse now urged for paying exorbitant fern and salaries to sucn officer*, which are out of all pontortion to the eompensa* tion given for similar service* in other avocations. We cannot see why it should meet with any opposition from the people.

AMENDMENT NO. 4.

The following amendments proposed to-

Circuit Courts, and such other courts as the General Assembly may establish. The words "such othpr courts" are substituted for the words "such inferior courts," enabling the Legislature to establish other courts not inferior in jurisdiction to the Circuit Court, and to establish a perfect system of' jurisprudence which will greatly reduce expenses and at the same time facilitate business.

AMENDMENT NO. 9.

No political or municipal corporation in this State shall ever become indebted, in any manner, or for any purpose, to an amount in the aggregate exceeding two per centum on the value of the taxable property within said corporation, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and -co\u?ty taxes. preYioup to the incurring of such indebtedness, and all bonds or olbigations in excess of such amount given by such corporations shall be void provided that in time of war, foreign invasion, or other great public calamity, on petition of a majority of the property owners, in number and value, within the limits of such coiporation, the public authorities, in their discretion, may incur obligations necessary for the public protection and defense, to such amount as may be requested in such petition.

If this amendment had been passed 20 years ago the State of Indiana would have been $10,000,000 better off to-day. There has been litearlly no embargo upon the schemes of plunder which have beset the towns, cities and counties of the State. This provision is designed to protect the taxpayers and limit the amount that nfav be assessed against them, and to which these municipalities may be burdened with

The Republicans of Indiana are fully coiBmiljted to all Jof theto amendments, andL4h^? bettw class o|* th| BcmocNiic party at^JfaVarda them in Uid last General Assfcriiblyf They are all measures'of reform looking to the protection of the ballot-box ana to the protection of the taxpayers of the State against excessive burdens. They should each and every one of them be adopted by the electors of the State by not less than one hundred thousand majority.
