shall bo Issued ordering elections for mem-
bers of tho Conventions to Irnino Consti
tutions for tlio States nnd (lint tbc elec
tions to ratify or reject such Constitutions
shall bo held In July 1870. If tlio Consti-
tutions be rntlllcd by the people they will
bu presented to Congress In December 187(1
nnd If they bu neeeptnblo to Coiigres
the Stales Villi bo ndmltted In tlio winter
ori8r-7. Substantially Ilia actual odmls-f-Ion
of tlio States Is postponed two years
In ordor to nfl'ord ample tlmo lor tho peo-
ple of each of the new States to frame n
well considered Constitution. It removes
the question of their ndnilsMon from
the excitement of the Presidential elec-
tion us neither Statu Is to ho admit-
ted until alter Hint election. To ndmlt
them before thnt dale would bo to give
to theso States six votes for President.
These new States had in 1870 n population

however that between lSGOnnd 1870 a por-
tlon of New Mexico was nttached to tlio
Territory of Arizona. Thero is no doubt
that since 1870 the population of both Ter-
ritories especially Colorado 1ms largely
.Increased and it is estimated that New
Mexico hns now about 100000 and Colo-
rado perhaps 05000. The vote of Colo-
rado for Delegate to Congrdss last fall was
10503 against 11503 In 1870 which would
Indicate nn Increase of one-third or 20000
inhabitants between 1870 and 1871. .
Tin: largo decrease In the public debt
ns shown by the debt statement for Feb
ruary Is nttrlbutablu to the heavy receipts
from Internal revenue collections caused
by the agitation of tho now taxaud rev-
cuuo bill when that bill was under dis-
cussion in tho House nnd it was thought
tho stock of whisky on hand in bond
would bo taxed. Heavy dealers In whisky
took out of bonded wnrehouses nearly
three-fourths oftho stock In bond to avoid
payment of the anticipated tax.
WiTCHKii and Goiiuon two members
oftho party which lea Sioux City for the
Black 11111b In October last havo returned
to that place for reinforcements and sup-
plies. Tlio story of their adventure ns re-
lated on their return is as follows : The
expedition was composed of twenty-seven
men and one lady and her son. Thero
were six wagons. The party wcro well
armed and supplied with provisions and
mining tools. Tho expedition left Sioux
City October 0 ; struck thu Niobrara about
120 miles nbovo Us mouth anil followed
that stream some distance (hen struck
across tho country to n point east of tho
Black Hills on tho Cheyenne Itlvcr. Met
a party of'.'Oo mounted Indians and held
peaceable parley with them. Af
ter reaching n pass at tlio foot
of the 11111s they struck Into the
mountains and after picking their way
reached n point within two miles of Har
ney's Pcakjn Jlftcen days from the datu
ol their entry into tlio jiius. TJ103' erected
a stockado eighty feet long and built log
cabins from tlio abundant timber. They
found that cold weather givatly Impeded
their prospecting. They sunk Iwonty-
llvo prospecting holes and struck gold In
every Instance from grass to bed-rock.
They found numerous gold and silver-
bearing quartz lodes and some specimens
that Mr. Wltchcr 1ms brought back are
pronounced very rich. Tlio party
never saw an Indian whllo In the Hills.
"yitchcr describes tho parts ot tho Hills
they saw as having magnlllccnt valleys
seemingly limitless forests of pine abun-
dance of elk deer and other game. Tho
greater portion of tho return trip was
made through snow drills over a track-
less country In most stormy and revere
weather. They discovered hi coming out
of tho Hills a good natural road that
shortens the way out by thhteen
days. Their animals lived 011 grass they
found beneath the snow. Wltcher says
he can take loaded ox-teams into thu Hills
from Sioux City in thirty days. The
members left hi thu Hills nro hi good
health and spirits. There U no evidence
of other parlies being In tho Hills. Noth-
hiir was heard or seen of tho two disas
trous army expeditions scut out to Inter-
cept them.

Tim French National Assembly hns at
length taken ineasuies to provldo n per-
manent government for that distracted
country Tho new Constitution of Franco
for tlity Is what It amounts to is con-
tained In two distinct laws. Ono of theso
provides that tho Legislature shall consist
of two bodies a Chamber of Deputies and
n Senate tho first elected by universal suf-
frage Tho President of thu republic Is to
be chosen by the Senate and Chamber In
Joint ballot ami by an absolute majority
of votes. Ills term Is seven years nnd he
may lie re-elected. On tho ndvlco of tho
Senato he may dissolve the Chamber nnd
then a now ouu .must bo elected by tho
peoplo within three months. Tho Minis-
ters are responsible to tho Chamber but
the President Is only respouslblo'ln so
of high treason. Whenever Ihoro u a va-
cancy In tho olllce of President (he two
Chambers shall Immediately elect a succes-
sor; nnd In tho Interval thoT Council of
JJlnUtcrs excrciso t)o exccnHvu power
Tlio Constitution ninybo revised when-
ever tlio Senate and Deputies each voting
separately either spontaneously or on thu
recommendation oftho President shall de-
termine by nn nbsoluto majority of eneh
House that. It Is necessary. Then they
meet together as n National Assembly to
rcviso It ; hut no changes can bo mndo ex-
cept by nn nbsoluto majority of the Joint
body ; nnd during tho present term of
ollleo of President MncMahou there shall
bo no rovlslon except It bu proposed by
him. Tbcscalof tlu'Kxecutlvo powernnd
of the two Houses Is to bo at Versailles.
The second law relates to the Senate.
It Is to be composed of .100 members 75 of
uhoni nro to ho elected by thp present
National Assembly and tho other 225 by
the electoral colleges of tho departments
and colonics. These electoral colleges are
to ho composed of the deputies of the de-
partments in tlio present Assembly of the
members of tlio general council of tho
members of the nrromllcincut councils
and of delegates from the municipal coun-
cils. Tho Senators chosen by tho depai t-
menta and colonies are to bold olllce nine
years one-third of them going out every
three years. Those chosen by tho present
National Assembly arc to hold olllce per-
manently. Occasional vacancies In tho
Senate arc to bo tilled by the Senate Itself.
Money bills must originate In tho Chamber
of Deputies; other bills may originate in
cither Ilonso. Thu Senate is alo to form
a high court of justice to try the President
or tlio Ministers or to Investigate attempts
against tlio safety of tho State. Tills
looks llko u safely woililng constitution
ad.ipted to the wants of the nation and
avoiding nil danger so far ns in such a
country ns Franco any constitution can
possibly do so. Uoth laws havopased
tho National Assembly and are accord-
ly already In force.
An Important decision by Justlco Mil-
ler of thu United States Supremo Court
In reference to thu validity of certain rail-
road and other bonds is published In the
Leant News The Legislature of Kansas
passed an tict which became law Feb. 20
1872 by which tho IerIslatlvo bodies of
certain cities (among them Topekn) were
authorized to issun bonds or make appro-
priations "to encourage tho establishment
of manufactories and such other enter-
prises as may tend to develop and im-
prove" their respective cities. Grants
of more than $1000 were prohibited how
ever unless V authorized Hrst by
thu Council nnd' then by n majority of
votes cast at a special election. Topekn
Issued under this law $100000 of bonds
and gave them to n bildgc-bullding com-
pany hi that city. Thelegality of tlio Is-
sue was admitted but the constitutionality
of tho law was denied. Tho Supreme
Court decides that the objection was well
taken and that the bonds nro void.
Justice Miller dcclnvCSthnt u Legislature
cannot pass a statute creating a debt unless
it has power to levy n tax In aid of tho
purpose for which tho debt Is created.
Tho Legislature of Kansas has no power to
tax the eltlwiiR of Topekn In aid or a manu-
factory; It therefore- cannot pass n statute
creating a debt for that purpose. "There
can bu no lawful tax;" says the decision
"which Is not laid for a puhlic purpose."
Tin: decision of tho Supreme Court of
tho United States Inn test case taken from
JMlchiganto that tribunal that n State has
tho right to tax land-grant lauds whllo
they are still lu.the.posecsslon of tho rail
road companies soys tlio Chicago Trtbunc
will have universal Interest as It wlllplaeo
upon tho tax-list thousands if not millions
oracres In States where tho Stalo Itself lias
not formally exempted the land It has
granted to tlio roads from taxa-
tion. In Illinois tho decision will
havo no practical ojieratlon as the
State in granting the lauds to tlio ro.ids
formally waived taxation. Hut in States
where no such exemption lias been made
It will bring upon the tax-list an Immense
amount of laud now lying Idle and pro-
ducing lm revenue either to tho road or to
tho Stale. Tho operation of tlio decision
will practically bo a bcncllt to the whole
people us well ns to tlio roads inasmuch
ns Hie latter rather than to pay luxes up-
on unproductive lands will put them Into
thu market more rapidly nnd at cheaper
prices so its to induce peoplo to take them
up and improve them which in the end
would be a benefit to tho road.
Am. of the general appropriation bills
were passed by both Houses of Congress
and signed by tho President. The bill for
tho improvement oftho mouth of tho Jlis.
lssippl by the jutty system also became a
law. Tho amount appropriated In gross
la $5250000. Tho Southwest Pass Is se
lected for tho channel. In all Important
respects the bill Is thosamo as was report
ed hi the IIouso last session as tlio original
proposition of dipt. Kads with tho ex-
ception an to thu amount which was re-
duced about $-2500000. Tho bill to refund
to the State of Missouri S745.000 fornrms
token from tho State by tho Untied
States dm lug tho rebellion passed both
houses as an amendment to tho Army bill.
Among tho measures which wero left pend-
ing in Congress nro tho Steamboat bill ;
thu bill proposing nu amendment to thu
Constitution changing the manner of
electing the President and Vice-President
of the United States ; tho so-called Force
bill ; Col. Scott's Texas PaelOo ltallronil
bill and several other railroad relief bills.
The bill for equalizing bountiei failed to
becomo a law owing to somo Informality
In Its passage by the Senate on account
of which It Is stated the President with-
held his signature.

A Great Monopoly In Small Business.
The sale of the Sacramento (Cal.) Union
one of the pioneer newspapers of tlio Pa-
cific Coast as well ns one oftho ablest and
most honest journals in the United States
the particulars of which wo give below is
little less than an outrage and ono M
national character which should cneflB
. 1 -11 .1 fill.- TT.. .. l"l
very gum-rni iiuciiiiun. xnu union nns
been established for twenty-live years and
In tills tlmo Its conductors mado it n first-
class newspaper. Since tlio building of
tlio Central Paclllc Itallroad the Union has
been Its most bitter opponent nnd hns
sought by every menus In Its power to de-
feat its grasping schemes and corrupt In-
fluence. Tlio llrst reply that wns made
by tho Itallroad Company was tho estab-
lishment of the Record as an organ. Find-
ing that this did not affect tho Union ma-
terially they inaugurated n bolder mode
of wnrfui-e and brought such a pressure
to bear upon the merchants of Sacramen-
to that the t7;u'o has had to succumb.
The newspaper established by tho Uail-
road Company was given tho exact size
type face nud form of tho Union and was
gratuitously distributed from door to
door. All the business the road could con-
trol was driven from the Union. It was
banished from tho cars and Its sale was
forbidden in the depots. All this teld
upon tho Union. It was a most cowardly
use of wealth and power against nn Inde-
pendent journal but it Is doubtful wheth-
er it would have succeeded had
it not been for the pressure
upon tho merchants of Sacramento of
which we havo spoken. A committee
from that city recently visited San Fran-
cisco to confer with the President of the
Central Paclllc relative to the establish-
ment of some rolling mills and was flatly
informed that they must cltooso between
the Union and any further investments by
the Railroad Company In Sacramento. A
public meeting was called the sentiment
of which was that the Interests of Sacra-
mento were with the Railroad Company.
Subsequently many advertisements were
withdrawn from the Union and a propo-
sition was made to tlio proprietors In the
name of several citizens heavily interested
In real estate for its purchase. The pro
prietors finding that tncy were pushed to
tho wall by the merciless corporation
agreed to terms and tho paper was sold
for about $G5000 and will be merged with
the Record the name of tiie new concern
being the Unixm and Record. There is lit
tle doubt that the Union has made some
mistakes in its bitter attacks upon the
road especially in attributing corruption
to all Its measures and making a personal
warfare upon its oillccrs. Its criticism
was not always within tho bounds of dis-
cretion or truth and was sometimes ad-
verse to tho ical Interests of Sacramento;
but making theso allowances it was still
a cowardly act upon t lie part of this gigan-
tic corporation nud a most dangerous
precedent. Chicago Tribune.

Work and Study.
Tho four years that a young man is in
college must bo preceded by at least three
years of laborious preparation. These
seven years of mental work have In a
certain sense taught him to forget how to
toil with his hands. He is not fit physic-
ally " to dig" and to engage in those oc
cupations which are half manual half
mental into which ho Is thrust to estab
lish as in a sort of trial his ability to aid
in tho stress and struggles of life.
.A. man wlio lias spent seven years at a
trade knows precisely what to do in his
calling and how to do it ; but our grad-
uate knows lite books which alas 1 the
hurried world don't want; he is familiar
with Greece and Rome but cannot keep
accotmts ; ho can tell you of Olympus
but cannot tell you the cost of fractional
bushels at fractional prices. He is a boy
yet; he must yet begin to learn the "nrt
of living " a trade ot somo kind he must
have. .Meanwhile he waits ; ho looks on ;
he stands in tho market-place because no
one has hired him nud so doing he has all
tho appearance of an Idler.
Again many seek for nn education ex-
pecting thus to escape drudgery. They go
into college that they may not work and
they nvold it whllo there If excuses will
avail ; and when they hold their diplomas
in their hands they are still resolute not
to labor If possible. They are applicants
for some place that has for its chief rec-
ommendationa salary. This class is
largely mado up of spoiled boys thought
by aunts and grandmothers to be too deli
cate too smart or too handsome to drudge
in the house shop or on the farm; and it
has many recruits from city households
because there Is no work to be done no
wood to split water to be drawn or gar
den to bo tilled. For with a largo num
ber of people doing work Is like chewing
tobacco a habit to be acquired nnd when
acquired followed nak habit. Jv. Y.

A Louisville Sensation.
A suit has been filed In the LoulsvlUo
Chancery Court which from tho promt
nencoof tho parties concerned and tho
extraordinary character of tho Issues In-
volved has created a very decided sensa-
tion there. Tho late H. D. Newcomb for
many years President cf tho Loulsvillo
aud Nnshvillo Railroad was married
twlco. Ills first wlfo becamo lusano and
killed two of her children and has since
been an Inmate of the Massachusetts Gen-
eral Hospital for tho Insane. Several
years ago Mr. Newcomb procured a dc-
creo ol divorce and was afterwards mar-
ried to a young daughter of a wealthy
and prominent citizen of Louisville by
whom he had two children. He died last
summer leaving property between ono
and two millions. One son by tho first
wife survived and is practically the plain-
t ill' In the suit although it Is brought In
tho name of his first wife making all the
legatees and trustees of the will defend-
ants and Is brought to declare tho second
marriage null aud void tho divorce it Is
claimed having been illegal. The effect
oftho decision in favor of plaintiff will he
to declaro the children of the second wlfo
Illegitimate. Very able counsel have been
employed on both sides.
