We are in favor of having the Constitution of each State amended as often as the provisions of the Constitutions are complied nith; anything else is amerding a Constitution by violating it We advocate standing y the Constitution. The Democratic party has won imperishable fame because it will not violate nor strike down Constitutions. Itis this distinguishing characteristic of the Democratic parly the people admire. Aa Ohio Republican visiting friends in Indianapolis, was pleasantly rallied about tie condition cf hiä party in BuckeyeJoui. Bring asked about the treatment recited at lite bauds of the Democrats, the Buckeye replied that it reminded him of the treatment received by a man in a Philadelphia Hospital. The patient said: "Tne doctors amputated both my fet, removed my claviCf, cut off my rijrht arm, trepanned rue, took out a piece of my inferior maxillary, sawed my left os iniiominatuui in two, and were about to exsect tire or six ribs, when a Cru broke out in the establishment and the police got away with the rest of my body in safety." That, Fai l ihe Obioan is about the condition of the Republican party in Ohio. THE BLOOD CURDLING HORROR. The burning of the Milwaukee hotel is one d the most terrible calamines that the lLr.htaicg ever Hashed over the country. "We are told that this hotel was a ''deathSrap. The flinies verified the truth of the rcrnuor. And now come the inquiry, "Who vta to biame?"' It is entirely safe to predict that the verdict will be "nobody." iioiibiy there will be published a few meaningless platitudes iaiinitUiug censure, iafc practically thev will amount to noth ing. People will continue to lth-traps," and these "death -will from time to time barn build raps"' down or tumble down, killing people by scores and by hundreds. There will be Ibe usual exclamations of horror as the atoriea are told, and as the charred bones, lickened and mutilaWl bodies are gathered up, there will be some severity of expression, funerals will be held and the myste3ri of Providence will be outlined with axel ting pathos, and then all will be forgolSea until another death-trap horror arouses -society from its stupor, when the old programme will be made, to do duty agiin. ud the old farce of correcting death-trap aVoi nations will be enacted for t&a benefit of the public; and while Lue funeral cortege moves along the alreeta, keeping step to the tolling bell, the same old verdict, "Nobody to blame," will fc heard, and Providence Divine Province ooe will be saldied witb the. entire responsibility; acd as Divine Providenc9 can n.i b got into Court to be tried and p'lnIthed for permitting death-traps to exist Iii old order of thing will proceed. We rfttabt it there is a city in the United S:aU's l&atisuot cursed with deathtrapt buildjj. which are liable to tumble down, or which, should fire overtake them, would 2 to be c:emation ovens, admirably constructed for burning people to death. "TTnai are you going to do about it?'' Does aorrM one a-k that question? Doubtless. It is in order. . We verily Relieve a remedy can be found and applied. Indiana Legislature is now in session.

Such a law, we bJi!ve, would meet with universal approval. "Wbj not? Who would oppose euch a law? "We should like to hear an objection, if one can ba framed. There is fim much killing now-a-dayE "too many Corouer's inqnests, too many verdicts "No Wly t blamt." Legislatures should find a retsMiy. "Divine Providence is all too irv4aefity made the Eca&egoat of man's cligeuce, to use no harsher term, and the Milwaukee horror should arouse public attention to an extent that in future men s&ail be held to the strictest accountability. "Wa hope the Legislature will give the subject attention. -SUBMISSION OttNHEAL AMD SPEC IAL ELECTIONS. 'Leaving out of the discussion ail matters relating to the f:t"'jof the amendments, and sasuniing that thev are to be sur.inlt'ed to a wousof the people, we are brousht face, to face with the question whether the aruendmnti frhonld be submitted at a jmrral or s soc ial election. The proposition Is to dar the organic law of Indiar a, the fund- . .al law of the State. This is to be dot.e j tb people at an election. No one who hau tWe welfare of the State at heart will ieoy that in a matter of fo mnrk gravity, of each far-roarbing lHprUnce the largeät xote pfcible s&uld be tecured. Now, it is well Mfo, becau-e the fictj nueqai vocally .jnpirt the declaration, ihtt lh largest

vote is alvays secared at a general election.

There is not an exception on record. Hence those who favor submitting the amendments to the Constitution to the people at a general election favor the largest vote possible, and those who favor a $pecinl election for deciding a question of overshadowing importance advocate a method that will bring out the tmaUett vote. Hence we conclude that the tpetial election advocates are afraid to trust the people, while those who contend for a general election bare an abiding confi dence in tho people. We will assume that there are now in the State of Indiana 500,000 voters. We apnroximftte accuracy when we say that at a general eleotion 60 per cent, or 400,000 votes. x - will be cast. We also approximate accuracy when we say that at a special election not more than 50 ner cent, of the vote of the State. 250,000. will be cast, 150,000 less than at aencral election, and for the verification of our riiures we challenge records. We as therefore, that those who favor submitting the amendments at peclal rather than a general election are willing, in fact anxious, to ignore at least 150,000 of the voters'of Indiana, and change the Constitution by a minority rather than by a majority of the votes of the people. We do not believe the Legislature will favor the tnrxial election proposition, nor that men of sound judgment of any party will favor such a departure from Democratic nrinel nies. If the Constitution is to be K - - changed, in the name of right and justice pcpulsr sovereignty and the well-being of society, let it be changed by a majority in stead of a minority of the people. Nothing less answers the demand. lite ft endletoa BUI.

Aumir, Jan. 10. Texas is a great State in extent of territory, richness of soil, beauty of scenery and healthfulnees of climate. It contains 274,000 square miles, would mate 209 Sta'ea the size of Rhode Island and eight and a half the siza of Indiana. Tom Green County alone is about the size of Indiana, By the terms of admission into the Ijnion it may be divided into S;ates besides the State of Texas. In 18G0 it had a population of 000 000: in 1370, 700, OX), and in 1830, 1,5G0,000 an increase of 8O0.C00 in ten year?. The first settlers in a new country seldom take up its best lands. Naturally the hills and water courses attract the first who come, leaving the broad, rich, black and brown prairies to the later settlers. This has been especially the case in Texas. Very good lands can no be bad in Texas for from $1 to $3 per acre. This fact, with the remarkable healthfulne?s ot those jarts of Texas that have improved most in .the last few year, luruisnesin part tne reason ot tue worderful immigration that has come to the Htate in the last decade. Central Texas is unsurpsased for its healthfulness.

Proximity to Mexico add to its import ance. Commerce between tnese Mates is now in the millions. This commercial intercourse leads to the contact of different ideas and different types of civilization. Through Texas a positive and useful influence is being exerted in that country of interesting history, Mexico. Through Texas is the right road to Mexico. Bo our master railroad minds have decided, and three lines of roads are built across the State, and two more in course of rapid construction. The Anglo-Saxon race, as well as the multitude from Europe, are on the move, and Texas is in the line of march. While Minnesota is "jumping off place" in that direction, Texas is a great State on tbe the way to other great States beyond. Every position of tru-t has its responsibilities and burden of liability for those that raut follow. Wise legislation, humane and efficient municipal regulations and firm and uniform enforcement of law are necessary here as well as elsewhere, and no more to here than elsewhere. To be law-abiding i the dispositiou of the masses. The doubt of this fact makes cllicials timid and time serving. People coming from different localities to somewhat different surroundings treat those they meet with deference and respect, and receive the same in return. It is altogether philosophical that respect aud good manners toward others will command the same forourselves. "With-wbat measure ye mete shall be meas ured to voa aeo in." 1 nave been in man; States of the I'nion, but none excel the peo ple of Texas in politeness, genteel and real attention to stranger and whole-souled hos pitality. This is eminently true of the citi zens of the goodly city of ACSTIW, the Capital of the State. Like Rome, it is built on seven hills, and is the prettiest city I know of this side of New Haven, Conn. the oposraphy, fine buildings and residences, and the grandest views that meet tbe eye this side ol Cape Ann and Plymouth Rock. Austin is a city of Cnurche- Pre bytenan South, Presbyterian North. Cumberland Presbyterian, Christian, Baptist, Episcopal, Catholic, M. li South, M. E. North, M. E. Swede and four colored M E.

New "iobi, Jan. 10. It is pretty hard to think that the winter season has just begun here, yet such is the fact. The weather has been moet disagreeable, and the walking terrible. The snow which fell ladt week departed with Saturday night, and until last night's snow relieved it, life was becom ing a burden. For when New York is dirty, she plays second fiddle to no city in the Union. Society, is having its turn at the wheel, and I tell you. the real, simon pure aristo cracy are having a hard time of it. How so? 0. well, you see, New Tork is chock full of those went-to-bed-poor-and-got-ap-rich sort of people, and they play their money in suit to repectabiHty every time; and, you know there's nothing more galling thun to feel that your individual worth and mental nd moral calibre are being sized up by a boor over the way with his stock of trade dollars. 8o the got-rich-and-didn't-know-it people are just now worrying the life out of the really high-toned element with all man ner of invitationsand sycophantic attentions. noting thereby to creep into real respecta bility. There is a good deal in aristocracy of tne real genuine sort after all Jay Gould, Van deibilt, Jim Bennett, and those who have only dollars to recommend them, have no more show in real uup-nendom in rsew York than a blind man has of solvicg the fifteen puzzle without raised figures. And it's a good thing, too, in this degenerate decade of the "noonday splendor of the nineteenth century," that a check is put upon dollar respectability. Grant has been in chancery a long time, and even now is on probation. But Grant is not fool enough, to risk his cbarce, and so keeps very quiet. The way the "shoddies nave for catching the "real" is by the old style "tea fights," cow called "afternoons. That is No. .Fifth avenue, where Mrs. B ank resides. She does not keep a barber shop. That red and white awning denotes this to be her "afternoon." We'll go in. Ser vt-nt meets us at the dour and bawls out the names loud enough to brir g a tquad of po lice to the spot. The crush is terrible. "Third floor, front," yells my dusky brother at the door. . "What nn three flights to deposit coat and hat at an 'informal?' " "Step this way." And coats on our arms. hat and cane in hand, we bow to our hostess and pass to the dining room to greet friends. See that old lady? Face like a lobster and bare shoulders.looking for all the world like a red heifer shams? Uith! Well, she's a widow; forty if a da fat. rich and was an honest, nobie-minded, hard working woman until her husband cured man's corns with tbe essence of something and got rich on the patent he obtained for the bo-s corn eradicator. Yes, she's tryirg to get in. Will she succeid? She will if money will do it, but I don't like her prostata. That's her son who's arm she's breaking, and if she can only give him away, with a premium of naif a mil lion, to the daughter of some number one familv. she 11 die happy. Weil, there's a crush and crowd, and what is the result? That awning hide) a multitude of eins, I cau tell you. The would-be-and-appareutly

Want to know? Well, that voune ladv has wined and talked and talked and wined. and now she's going borne drunk'. What! urunk? That's exact.' y the vernacular for ber con dition, and homespun is the language I prefer. Imagine, if yon can. the Infliction of such occasions upon real respectability! I won't continue in this strain, it's too deplorable, and I'll get wrathy if 1 don't atop. Ibis is tbe gay season of tne "liebt fan tastic," and promises to be a memorable one. The "Old Guard'' and "Charit" balls are reallv magnificent sfTiirs. and afford the bon ton botn pleasure and an opportunity for solid charity.

It bore the inscription: 2 tWMtMH ! MttM : CLAR.. MÜNTE, j Dioil june 3. 1S61, : Aged 16 years. ''Why. to whom does this refer?'' asked the reporter. it reters to me," replied Miss Munce quietly.

He looked at me steadily for a few seconds, and then said reverentially: " 'les. poor creature, she is gone,' and he covered my face with the sheet.

She was stoop ing to kiss me when she suddenly s arted back with the very fciniple and hemely re mark : 'Why. her noe is bleeding!'

8TALWARTI3J5.

The Republican Diaeaa That Can't be Cured. Washington Post The ailment that efilicis the Republican psny is Stalwa tism. To this disease, far more than to all its other troubles, that party owes its present miseries. So long as tbe Stalwart factkm remains at the front, tbe work of disintegration will on. So lone ::?; as tbe leaders ol that faction brazen indolence rf bearing hearty contempt fr all that and reputable in politics, remain the recognized exponent of Republican sentiment, the decadence vrill continne. The great mistake was that tbe Stalwarts grasped the prize drawn "in the lottery of assassination" as if it had come to them sanctioned by a msjortty in the Electoral College at the close of a Presidential campaign. Coming into pawer as a result of tbe Stalwart war waged n President Garfield a result not less real because it was unintended they could onJy hope for popular tolerance by putting on a quiet, subdued air and preserving a respectful demeanor. Such a course would not, it is trne, have wen for them a large measure of public con fidence, for they have previously "sinned away tbe dav of grace;" bad forever forfeited the good opinion of the country. liut bad they been possessed of suflicient eagneiiy to understand the real situation and act n accordance therewith, they might baveavTded the disasters that the crossness of their ways and otfensiveoess of their tone have broaghtoo their party. ihe ctalwartism of to-day is tbe disease that went by the name of Gractism two years ago, and no change of name can de ceive the people. It is trne that the man wbose name tbe duease bore has retired from politics, but the men who used bim and who soiled his name are still in the Stalwart front line, and they and tneir principles and their manners are as cordially detested now as tnev ever were are even more heartily contemned row than when they were stamped into tbe mire of crushing defeat at Chicago; for they have added a good many bad chapters to their utterly bad record since that day of tbeir dire disaster. Two years aeo Stalwartism was packing Staie Conventions to forestall public opinion, was doing this four or five months be fore tbe time for nominating a iicket. A few months later, Stalwartism with its little army of delegates from Democratic strong holds, wss at Chicago trying to force the odious third ternv down the throats of an overwhelming majority of tbe Republican partv. DcMetited i here, Stalwartism retired io sulk and use uemoral;z:ng influences on the party until a majority of the peorle bad decided to elect Hancock. Then, when the day was almost lost to Garfield through the peihoc of the btalwart leaders, thev rr?e uo aid with a great efTort am-ng the morjoroues created and fostered by the Republican party, thev raided an enormous amount of money and bought the Presidency for Gar held, bought it as ot enlv and undeniablv as a ever a sheep was bought in a lire stock market. The Ubtquent coune of the Stalwarts reed not be recounted here, for It is inorc deeply imprinted on tbe memory of the American people than almost anvtbing the in our history. Ttfey made a cruel, relentless rUht on Garfild because he w-uld not submit to their dictation, and when that war. come beyond the wish or thought of the men who nade it. had sent Garfield to bis grave, the btalwarts strode boldly in as tbey had been called by the voice of the people. Toe Post has said more than once, and repeats now, that President Arthur has de served well of the country for his quter. firm resistance of Stalwart pressure. Dut be has not been able, and no man in bis place would be able, to charge tbe tone, aspect. hearing, manners, spirit and policy of the Stalwarts. The s-pots of the leopard can't be painted out. Tbe odor of the mephitis Americana can t be successfully disguised. As "pigmies are pigmies tili, though perched on Alp, so btalwartMm holds its distinctive qualities nnder all possible con ditions. The Stalwart pr s does not seem to under stand, when it arescribes for ibe Republican party, that there caa be no hope of recovery so long as tbe Stalwart faction keeps its bideousness ii public view. Such, however, is 1 the fact. A hated mitionty, incapable of learning by experience, is on t?p of the ma jority that triumphed in the last struggle of tbe factio 8. Ihe circumstances attending the suppression of the majority must inevit ably keep alive the fires of hate. The inso lent airs of the minority,, installed over the majority by the bu'let of a aasin, can only tend to drive further and further from the party the men who have 7ailed to vote for its candidates this year. When the disease takes th i lace of the doctor it w:ll be fitting for S alwartism to tell tbe R publican party what it must do to be saved. Dotier Protects a Faithful- Public Servant. Boston. Jan. 10 The dispatch from Framingbam on January ?, announcing tbe resignation of Hr. hiiza M. Mosaer. Super intendent of the Women s Prison, does in Vustice 'o all parties. The attitude of Gov ernor Butler toward the- institution had nothing to do with it. Mrs. Mos her inj a red her knee some months ago, asd her physician advised her to go to the Massachusetts Geueral Hospital, where it would probably be necessarv for her to remain several months Thereupon." in. December last, she tendered her resijnatiou to Governor Long but withheld it, at his request, until Governor llutler could have the opportunity of appointing her successor. A day or two aeo Mrs. Johnson, of the Prison Commission. called on the Governor to- officially notify him of Mrs. Mosber s resignation. "I shall not accept it," replied the Gov ernor. "But ehe must go to the Hospital, you know." said Mrs. J hnson. Well, if she has been a faithful public rervanL I see no reason why she should be kicked out like a deg, because of an acci dent over which she had no control," rejoined the Governor. "Let her go to the Hospital; the Institution will get along with jut ber lor a while " Think a Great Deal of Cats. Woodstock (Vt.)
