THE GAZHTTH'S esteemed contempo. raiy, the Saturrday Mail, in its issue for last week prints what it claims to be a prophecy concerning the superintendency of the city schools had a vacancy been created by the present incumbent obtaining a certain other position which he was not seeking. This would seem to be sufficiently problematical, but its remarks concerning the filling of that vacancy ara in the nature of startling intelligence, in quarter where some information on the subject would naturally be supposed to exist. The Mail is altogether too previous as it were.
THE Democratic dirt slincers are hard at work throwing filth at Garfield. Fortunately their guns are not of the Caliber to reach him.—[Express.
The GAZETTE desires to enquire of its esteemed contempoary if it calls the public record of his connection with the Credit Mobilier business "filth Is it of the opinion that the guns firing that record are not of sufficient caliber to reach him ,We are in search oi infor mation.

"Guild Fete.
The fete given last night on south Sixth street by the young Ladies Guild was
very pleasant, indeed, socially, and quite successful too, considered in the light of the almighty, dollar. Mrs. Gould and Mr. Sterrett sang their beautiful commencement duett, accompanied with the piano by Mr. A. L. Wyeth. It was taken as the encore so enthusiastically desired by the audience as it was given in the Opera House. Misses Anna Hyde and Flora Keller, after having with their us-w-.lual kindness, entertained those present at the Normal Alumni, came to the Guild fete and sang a song or two with charm ing effect. One of the great musical successes of the evening was "The Farmer and His Pigeons" by Miss
Lizzie Allen. So many Terre Hauteans have heard Miss Fannie Kellogg sing this exquisite little thing that they are severely critical and it is therefore, the highest compliment to Miss Allen to say hat, in the universal opinion, she renders it beautifully. Always possesed of a very, pleasing voice Miss Allen has by her recent brief course in Louisville, very greatly improved her singing. Speaking of the music the Cadet Band must not be omitted. A number of pieces were played out under the trees in such a manner as to win everybody's applause. Mr. Meredith is a first-class cornetist and the band is in excellent training.
This closes the entertainments of the Guild until next winter.
OVERTHROWN.
The Constitutional Amendments W ere Hot Adopted,
Having Failed to Receive a Majority Vote of the Electors.
So Decides the Supreme Court of Indiana.
The Decision Beached by Three to Two.
The Decision.
As published in the GAZETT of yesterday the Supreme Court has rendered a decision overthrowing the constitutiona amendments. The case came before the Court on an appeal from Floyd County Judge Biddle rendered the decision, Judges Hawk and Worder concurring, and Judges Scott and Niblack dissenting. The opinion is very long, discussing at length the history of the amendments of this case. The material part is contained in the conclusion which is as follows.
This Court holds that it requires at least a majority of all the votes at the same election to ratify a constitutional amendment. We also hold that the act of March 10,1879, is defective in not providing for the count of the aggregi nnmber of votes cast throughout the StJ on the day of election, or in not providing some means to find out the whole number of votes cast, by which it might be learned what proportion the number cast in favor of the ratification bore to the whole number. There is no source from which this Court can ascertain whether the amendment received the majority of all the votes cast at the election or not. As the amendment was submitted upon the day of the eneral spring election throughout the itate, and a^there was by law a number of officers to elect at the same time in the various counties, it must be presumed that other votes than those for or against the amendment were cast at the same time. From the peculiar ballots used in voting upon the amendment, many electors may have voted "no" and "yes" upon the question, which voles would not be counted such also would be counted in estimating the whole number of electors voting. It is also held that the Constitution must remain as it was before the amendment was submitted, un til it shall affirmatively appear that the amendment is ratified. If it does not affirmatively appear, we must hold that the amendment is not rat-, ified by a constitutional majority. The opinion, therefore of this court, is that it requires a majority of the electors of the State to ratify an amendment to the Constitution, but that the whole number of votes cast at the election at which the amendment is submitted may be taken as the number of electors in the State. The writer of this opinion, speaking for liimselfe, only holds that it requires the vote of a majority of the electors of the State to ratify a constitutional amendment. He thinks that this is not only the plain meaning of the words used in section one of article ten of the Constitution, but that it was also the manifest intention of the framers of the Constitmtion, as ascertained by the proceedings of the convention. He also holds that the number of electors of a State is a public fact, which the courts must ascertain without averment of proof, whenever it fe necessaiy to the decision of a cause. Fortliis purpose a court may look to the archives of the State, to the official returns of general State elections, to the legislative action and the proclamation of "the Executive. He does not mean that the court must know the exact number of electors to a unit this is impossible, for the number, on aecount of death and and coming of age, is not the same during any twenty-four hours, and what is impossible to do is not required to to done. The practical meaning of the phrase, "all the Electors of the state,". is substantially the number who vote at general state elections and the number of whose votes is officially returned by sworn officers into the office of the Secretay of State. This number need not necessarily include electors who are sick, absent from tl» state or prevented irom going to the oils- The construction must be such as as a sensible application to the affairs of men, rather than one of abstract number or theory. The history of a State, the number of inhabitants and its official statistics are public facts, and known to all persons, and never Meed to be averred or proved in judical proceeding. He also holds that if the whole number of votes cast at a given election should be less than the.whole number of the electors of the State, thus interpreted, the latter number being the constitutional guide would govern the former.
Having only the authority of legislative action, for the number cast might bear a very inconsiderable proportion to the whole number of electors in the State. In the opinion of this Court the consequence spoken of in the argument of this decision can at most be but a temporary inconvenience. We perceive no irregularity in the proposal of the amendment for ratification. It has simply not been ratified, and not been rejected. The vote upon it was ineffectual for want of the constitutional majority. We see no reason why the General Assembly may not re-submit, the amendment to the electors of the State under an amendment act, such as experience may prove to be sufficient to present the question to the courts, if it ever should arise again.
AT a nieeting of the Vigo county Med. ical Society yesterday resolutions were adopted expressing regret on the death of Dr.W.Q. Insley.
