The steady demand for bills on Ireland, in small amounts, show that. Money has been wnt to bring out a great many families from the famine districts, and, according to ihe u^lmon^'of those who are in a posftfdh to know, there lit scarcely a servant

many withdrawals of tarings bank deposits an a result of this. There fg an organ* i/.ation perfected at Chicago to provide homes for the newcomers aa soon as they reach New York, and an effort will be raad£ .to extend it# operations to the latter cfty^

The movement thus far ia un

der the jtuapteea otthe Catholic Colonization Society, and has the approval of Hcv feather Nugent, (who is sometimes callejj "father Matthew,"' of Liverpool.) ami of, fjevvral Bishops of the Catholic Church at the Northwest. It is believed that land can be found for a good many of these immigrants in Minnesota, and arrangements will be made with the steamship Cpmpkniea to bring them out at re dtibeft' fnrtt. The, advance guard will consist $f 'liXJfaninics from the district of Corineftiera. Bishop Con tier, of Omaha,' engages to And land for 50'or 60 of these in Nebraska. Their stay in New York will be no longer than to enable them to step from the steamship to the cars.1 j.HU"" tf

The name ot this infamous prison pen, eyen at ^is late day, causes a shudder of horror to/un .through the frames of those who have read of its horrors, as well as those who were conAned wiUiin its walls. A correspondent of an Eastern paper has recently visited the site of the prison at Andersonville, ^vhicti is about two hours ride' from Mac^n, Ga. It is now called AndcHbn Station, and there is nothing to (ihnracterise the spot except the Union L'smetery, some 20 acres In extent, over which floats the star spangled banner. It is 'canBtnicted on the spot where the prisoners were burled, and the trenches were (fug with such precision and regulurity that it was not found necessary to femovo the bodies, and they jie in tlt^^aine graves in which t\i^y^6t^\h\Mrtc(i by (heir comrndefr, tinder th« watchful (eyes5 of the (Joorgia Home Guards. The cemctery is surrounded by a solid brick wall, with an iron and is iinder the chargc of a sSpVrintendent who lives on the grounds. No attempt has been made to ornament the spot, nn«l ail the plant*) and flowers would riot dispel the melancholy memories tluit suVtound tlie spot where sleep so many of our martyred dead. The correspondent alluded to has the following in regard, to the cemetery, visitors, etc.:

SdUUiernera shun the epoU but the cemIs much visited by Northern travelers, and the register in the superintendent's lodgt1 contains many strange In scriptlons besides the names of visitors. Oue lady asks forgiveness of God for the muTdorer of her brother, who sleeps in the cemetery. Sentiments of passionate denunciation are more frequent. Occasionally a min who was In the stockade turfta up ainong the visitors. These men, whatever their natural temper, the superintendent says, can almost be distinguislied by the effects,of fear, dread, ana vivid rccollecuon, which come back like a shock into their faces as thpy again stand on the now ouiet and sunlit scene of their war oxtrt rfenc.e8.

In the temeterv the ground is at a general level, and the graves of the known and .unkaown. properly separated, range in rows, closely laid, an far as the eye can reach.

A square marble block with the word ''Unknown* on It is repeated about 1,000 nmes' in the cemetery.

It will be seen by the law that the voter votes at the same time he casta his vote lor township officers. The tickets or ballots are printed on blue paper, and tinder each amendment aje the words "yes" and "no." If the voter desires to vote for an amendment he erases the word "no1" with a pencil. On the other hand, if he desires to vote against any amendment he erases the word "yes." A voter has tlje privilege of voting for one and against the others if he chooses to do so. Voting for one or two or three does not compel him to vote for all.

Strong tendency of modern dead Danburyites to cover their remains with many tons of carved marble and granite. Sepulchral monumental ri valry run into the ground. Humane horsetroughs in Danburv, cone-shaped, four feet high and filled to the brim with constantly renewed water.

Life of Une town flows through.one artery, Main street, which crooks and turns, expands and contracts, as involuntarily devised by the original Danburyites nearly 200 years ago. Fine street, semi-rural, free from metropolitan right-angled stiffness, and abounding in elms, beautiful and majestic, but according to the Danburyite, ''you ought to see it in the Summer."

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 citizen of the United States of the age of 21. years and upwards, who shall have resided in the State during the? six months, and in the township 60 days, and in the ward or precinct 80 days immediately preceding such election, and overy male of foreign birth, of the age of 21 years and upwards, who shall have resided the United States one year, and shall have resided in the State during the six months, and in the township 60 days, and in the ward or prccinct 80 days immediately preceding said election, and shall have declared his 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 township 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 swe'ar that he has been a resident of the township 60 days, and of the ward or precinct 30 days, and thus the importation of votes and frauds upon the ballot box may lie measurably prevented. No one can object to this amendment who favors fair and honest elections. ,.

AMENDMENT NO.

THE AMENDMENTS.

What They Are and Wliy the People or Indiana (Uwidd Vote for Thcw^f«{ To the People &f Indiana: 8even important amendments to the constitution of Indiana have been agreed to by a majorityof the members elected to each of the two houses of the General Assemblies of 1877 and 1879, and by an act of the last %eueral Assembly, approved March 10th, 1879, these said amendments are to be submitted to the electors of the State of Indinnafor ratification, or rejec tion, at an election to be held on the first Monday in April 1880. The law provid ing for the submission of these amend mcnts to the electors of the State enacts that "The Secretary of State shall procure ballots of blue paper on each of which shall be printed tne proposed amendments, and below each amendment shall be printed the word 'Yes* in one line, and in another line the word 'No that any qualified elector may vote for or again»t any amendment by clepositing one of said ballots in the ballot-box. If he Intends to vote for any amendment lie shall leave thereunder the word "Yes* and erase the word 'No' by drawing a line across it, or otherwise. If he intends to yote against any amendment, the word 'Yes' sliaU 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 by numbers, and are numbered 1, 2, 8, 4, 5, 0 and 9, numbers 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 amendments is of such vital importance to the future well-being and prosperity of the people of Indiana as to justify, ji special effort in their behalf by every one having these objects at heart. They are mainly confined to the subjects of economy and honest elections.

provides for striking out the

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

And thereby ConforWiicg the' constitution of Indiana to the Constitution of the United States. The prohibition as it stands in the constitution of Indiana today is a dead Tetter.

AMTENDStENT NO

Amend section 14 of the second article to read:

'SccJ^on 14. All general elections shall' be lieldon the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, but township elections may be held at such time as may be provided by law. Provided, that the General Assembly may provide by law for the election of all judges of courts of general and appellate jurisdiction by an election to be held for such officers only, at which time no other officers aball be voted for and shall also provide for the registration or all persons entitled to vote."

The arguments in favor of this amendment are mainly those of economy. The cost of holding a general election in Indian?* is about $1,000 to the county, or nearly $100,000. By this amendment the State is saved the expense of double elections on Presidential election years. But thia Is not all. The other States of the Union having neatly all changed the time of their elections to November, as long as Indiana continues to vote in October she assumes the heat and burden of the Preside titial day. In 187$, counting money expended and time devoted to it, the October election cost the people of Indiana over $1,000,000. which expense was avoided by the State* that did not vote until

NovemSfer. This amendment is clearly in the interestggof economy and business prospe riiy,Jf"Business bk the State Is utterly demottlized for thfee nonthsi^rhen the State ii compiled tqbearihe bpmt oft the Presidential campaign.

The following amendments proposed towit: Amend section 1 the 7th attiole to read:

Section 1. The judicial power of the State shall be vested in a Supreme Court, Circuit Courts, and such other courts as the Genera] Assembly may establish

The words "such other courts" are substituted for the words "such inferior courts," enabling the Legislature to establish other courts not interior 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 county taxes, previous 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 caJam ity, on petition of a majority of the property owners, in number and value, within the limits of such corporation, the public authorities, in their discretion, may incur obligations necessary for the public protection and defense, to such amount as may be requested in Btich petition

If this amendment had been passed 20 years ago the 8tate of Indiana would have been fl0,000,000 better off to-day. There has been litearllv 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 may be assessed against them, and to which these municipalities may be burdened with debt. ifn

The Republicans of Indiana are fully committed to all of these amendments, and the better class of the Democratic party also favored them in the last General Assembly. They are all measures of reform looking to the protection of the ballot-box and 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.
