It is no easy matter to make a good, lusting Constitution especially- for a free SUIe which is under the political control of a central, irresponsible government, with a whippcr snapper despot acting ns dictator. Nevertheless we hope that the representatives of our people now assembled have the requisite wisdom to frame a Constitution such as" freemen in our Slate should accept- rf- One difficulty seems lo' be that some of the members of the Convention arc, not unnaturally, inclined to erect themselves into a legislature. Many of them are old or former mem bers of legislative bodies, and it may not be easy to maintuin the proper distinction.

The danger is in putting too much legislation, and not enough of principle into the fundamental law. Whether our present mode of arriving at a Constitution by means of a popularly elected body of men, is or is not the best, at present we shall have to get our Constitution in that way. One of the most marked of the pbazes of modern government is the tendency to constant legislation which, beginning with Congress, ramifies through States, counties, cities and villages, and even through the local organizations of private corporations; itis legislation, legislation interminable legislation. The people claim lo be sovereigns, and il is not therefore surprising that so many strive to be sov The Miissaohusells Samson who has made sport for the Philistine for all these weks and months has recovered his strength with his memory. Yesterday, putting his arms around Colfax, Garfield, Dawes, Wilson, Allison, Kelley, Scofield, and Bingham, pillars in the Republican temple of Dagon, he tumbled the whole edifice of falsehood and corruption to ruins.

There were premonitions of it on Monday, when he begrn to be jocular about sending money to Indiana, "where it would do us most good." Yesterday he unbosomed himself. Tired of being made the scapegoat of these men's sins of seeing their virtuous airs and listening to their false statements and goaded to it by their ingratitude after he had saved the party and the Presidential election, he gave them fair notice that he had done lying and they must stand from under. And so there's the testimony. The very men who with a show of indignation last summer denied any knowledge of or connection with Credit Mobilier are proven tohave lied not by the unsupported testimony of Mr. Oakes Ames, but by ihe record evidence, the checks and receipts, and written memorada about which there can be no mistake and which cannot be controverted.

Every one of them is proven to have held stock in the Credit Mobilier, and to have received each his share of its enormous dividends. Even though the transaction had not worn the have taken bribes and perjured themselves besides, then the republic, or all of the republic that is worth preserving is in the gravest We do not The issue is distinctly joined between a bribing lobby and dis-h)nest congressmen on one hand and a rohbed and outraged public on the other!

Pinchback before the committee on the Louisiana case drew from him all the lestimoi-y required to convict him, and the ring with which he acted, of the fraud that is charged upon them. He addmitted that his term as stale Senator expired on the 4lh of November, and that he was not legally a member ofthe legislature, but that he had been told by somebody to retain his seat for the purpose of preventing fraud in other quarters, and he had done so without any right whatever.

Ho bad not been in the Senate, he could not of course be acting lieutenant govnernor, nor could he have called for troops, issued his personal mandates and thrown out his impudent menaces, if he had not held Ihe post of governor. The fraud is thus completely exposed. Pinchback was kept by the Cassey ring "where he would do the most good;" and after acting his part he comes to Washington as a Senator of the United Stales, and his first public appearance is before a committee of the senate to justify his own complicity with a high handed act that threatens the existence of all free local government.

The North Carolina Legislature has passed nti Amnesty bill, which enacts that any person who may have comilted any crime against or violation of the laws of North Carolina, while a member or officer, or pretended office of the Constitutional Union Guard, White Brotherhood, Invisible Empire, Kukluk Klan, Jay Hawkers, or any other secret organizations, political or otherwise, in obedience to the commands of any of these organizations, shall have full therefore, and that all criminal proceedings now pending, for which amnesty and pardon are provided in this act, shall be large stock of caught.

But upon the testimony already in we are warranted in begining to ask what shall be done with these men if their infamous treason is proved upon them And our answer shall be severe, for this is a crisis, and severe measures are necessary.

It A mankind. Special legislation is the bane of our country, and it should be one of the aims of the Convention to reduce its neeessily to a minimum, by requiring enterprise to work under general laws. It is not the people who either need or ask for so much legislation and if lobyists and monopolists are restrained instead of being encouraged, it is the people who wiil gain. From whom, pray, do these lobbyists derive the wealth that enables them to buy legislatures, and seats in the House and Senate of Ihe United Stales? From the working men. Yes, every dollar of it is swindled through the acts of modern legislation from the laboring men of the country and if Ihe members of the Convention, representing all classes, would do justice to all in re-arranging theConslitulion, they should make it impossible for this sort of public robbery and demoralization in Pennsylvania to have a foothold in the future.

If it is not mnrle impossible, then it will surely go on as before. If special legislation be prohibited substantially, it will be found that it was not the people but enemies of the people ho demanded and created the vast amount of legislation under which the communiiy have been groaning for years.
