FIRST ASD SECOND WARDS.

The First and Second Ward Republicans met jointly, at Headquarter*. M. N. Diall was elected Chairman, and I. M. Brown, Secretary. There was a very large attendance, every seat being occupied. As the other ward meetings adjourned, the crowd was still increased, so that there was scarcely standing room. Challengers and ralliers were selected for the First and Second Wards, and a call for volunteers to remain at the polls all day on Tuesday next, caused about forty persons from the First ward to rise to their feet. Some one suggested that the Republicans of the Second ward who were willing to give one day to the cause of good government, stand up and be counted. Nearly all the Second warders responded, amid cheers. The Republicans are terribly in earnest, as was testified by the presence of many old citizens who for years have taken little or no pari in elections. Mr. T. C. Buntin, who needs no introduction to our readers, made a sterling appeal to those present, exhorting them to do their level best to secure the election of the Republican candidates, in order that the city may have good honest government. Mr. Buntin was heartily cheered during the delivery and at the conclusion of his speech he was followed by

MR. r. N. PIKKCK,

who in his usual logical manner detailed the history of the constitutional amendments adopted on April 5th. and by analogy and argument demonstrated that they are now part and parcel of our organic law and in full force and effect. He insists that according to the constitution and laws the amendments are adopted whenever a majority of the votes on the proposition, are cast in favor thereof, and that such amendments become law and take effect when the result is ascertained and declared. It will therefore require a residence of sixty days in the township and thirty days in the ward prior to the ensuing city election to entitle a person to vote.

At the conclusion Of Mr. Pierce's speech a motion |was made to adjourn, but was lost by an overwhelming majority amid tremendous cheers.

Mr. Boudlnot was called for and also spoke in regard to the Constitutional amendments, at some length, citing numerous authorities in favor of the proposition. Any claim made by the opposition of a free and pure ballot, that the amendments are not in force, is frivilous, untenable and absurd.

He was followed by Mr. J. O. Jones and others, among whom were several Democrats, who declared themselves in favor of the Republican candidates in order to redeem the ^city from Democratic misrule. The meeting then adjourned.

THIRD WAAD.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was held in this ward. John Cory, E. S. Earncy, Ed. Vandever and Zack Ross were appointed as the challenging committee. About twenty persons were plac ed on the rallying force.

FOURTH WARD.

Arousing meeting was held in the Fourth Ward. Speeches were made by James M. Haas, Dr. Preston, C. A. Powers, Geo. Wells, Irwin Pierce, John McMinnemy. Thos. Rriggs, James Hook and Green Day.

An a committee on work at the polls, the following persons were appointed: Thomas Briggs, H. L. Miller, W. K. Burnett* Geo, Hayward, J. Good paster. C. D. Cowgill, Dennis Golden, George Wells, Capt Powers, James Murphy, S. McMinnemy. John Pierce, Sam. Haines. W. 8. Markle, James Merriman. Dennis Sullivan, James Bishop and James Hook. rrrrn WARD.

The meeting was held at Holmes' livery stable on east Main street The meeting was called to order by Jackson Stepp and Henry McCune placed in the chair.

On motion it was agreed to adjourn until to-night v. The meeting ot the wiwti committee triD alio be held at the same place to-1 Blghtj arrrn WARD.

Owing to some misunderstanding no meeting was held.

WHAT THE GAZETTE SAYS ABOUT THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

The Constitutional Amendments will not be in force at the election next Tuesday.—GazrtU.

WHAT THIS TEMK HAITK MRXBEKS OF THE BAM MAY WITH REFERENCE TO THE COXHTSTt

TIOXAL A.WED*EVT XO. 1, WHICH

KNOCKS THE GAZETTE** OPIXIOX I TO A COCKED MAT.

TW* Is the Law with Reference to the Constitutional Amendment*.

The first section of article sixteen of the State Constitution provides that amendments to the Constitution may be proposed in either branch of the legislature, and if the same shall be agreed to by a majority of the members thereof, it shall then be referred to the next legislature* and if agreed to by a majority of bdth, branches of said legislature, then it shall be submitted to the electors of the State and if a majority of said electors shall ratify the satns, such amendment or amendments shall become a part of this constitution."

This is the only constitutional provision relating to the time of the taking effect of the amendments. In the legislative en actments relating to the amendments recently submitted to the people, it is rovided that the Secretary of Sfate shall within two months after the election, determine the total vote in the State for and against each amendment, and certify the same to the Governor. And the Governor shall immediately issue and publish his proclamation declaring the number of votes for and against each amendment.

That proclamation the Governor has made, aunounciifg that the amendments were all carried. Then we say that all o£ said amendments, except those requiring additional legislation, became a part of the constitution as soon as voted upon, or in other wotds they became a part of the constitution when the Governor made his proclamation, relating back to the date of their adoption by a vote of the majority of the electors of the State. That is the legal effect of the above named constitutional provision and legislative enactment. But there are some of the late amendments which require additional legislation, and they will not take effect until such legislation is had. At least that is the case with reference to the clause pertaining to the "Registration laws." So then it follows that the constitutional provision requiring a residence in the township of 60 days and of 30 days in the ward or precinct is in force. It al so follows that the provision relating to rpgistering before voting is not in opera tion. Then on next Tuesday, no man is allowed to vote unless he has been a resident in the ward in which he seeks to vote at least 30 days, and has lived in the township 00 days^ immediately proceeding the day of election, (and is otherwise a legal voter,) but no man is required to be registered in order to entitle him to a vote on that day.

We, the undersigned, members of the Bar of Terre Haute, having read the above article as it appeared in the Terre Haute Daily

Nkwh

of Friday, do cheer

fully represent that in our opinion it contains in substance the law with reference to the Constitutional Amendments.

The Constitutional Amendment in re lation to residence, is in my judgment in force—and is applicable to city elections.

C. F. McNtrrr.

Judge Cookerly said that he had examined the law very closely, and that he was satisfied that the law requiring a residence of thirty days in the ward or precinct, and sixty days in the township, was in force.

Judge Patterson gave it as his opinion that the above was correct, and that there was no doubt but that the law was in force, but that be felt that it would be out of place to sign the opinion.
