When the article in the new Constitution concerning the penal institutions of the State was under consideration by the Con- Stitutional Convention, this urged many good reasons against the experiment of un unsalaried Board nt Directors. The Constitution as it stands was framed and ratified, and its provisions are now the paramount law ofthe land.

Upon the question of compensation to Prison Directors it is unmistakably explicit and clear. It provides simply that the Directors shall serve without compensation for the services tiifvrender, but shall be reimbursed for all reasonable traveling expenses incurred while in discharge of official duty. Simply and honestly construed, this means that the Directors shall not incur unreasonable expenses, and not receive one cent beyond a reimbursement for expense, actually incurred. The lir-! Board, in the first instance, drew a mileage of twenty cents per mile in addition to hotel bills, and a- this .1 tin largely in excess of expenses incurred, it was of course illegal. Meeting no objection or rebuke from any source, certain of the members of Ihe Board secured the passage of a hill allowing each member of th Board $100 a month as salary aud ten (-ents ii mile traveling expenses.

This was as broad ii departure from the provisions of the organic actus could well have been conceived, and was nullified by a division of the Court adverse to its constitutionality. The subject again conies public notice by the oliarge that the present Board is drawing money in excess ol" actual "expenses incurred while 1:1 the discharge of its oflicial duty. The published vouchers aud the admissions of certain mem I of the Hoard indicates thai the old misappre hen -ions are ling ascendency, and that encroachments upon the constitutional instructions ire being made. One of the Directors says that the State Board of Examiners allows 50 per day lor hotel hills. while the published copies of accounts rendered and Mowed indicates bat the Directors, or some of them, render bills for ml for all time absent, whether entertained al the sons free of charge or at hotels.

It is not a question whether the sum named is too much or too little, but one herein the actual disbursement is involved. If a Director gets ten cents more than the amount of expense incurred, he gets that ten cents unlawfully. In the purpose "i the law be is to travel byusual means, incur only r. asonabic or ordinary and render bis bill iigainst the ate for the amount of expense incurred only. The plan of fixing a theoretical rate per day for hotel hills is unlawful and wrong, -imply because Board of Examiners are not authorized by law to theorise on the subject at all.

If Ihey may do so, then their theory may row in liberality of margins until a handsome salary or compensation would arise in the guise of "reasonable traveling expenses It is useless for any of the parties concerned to plead tbe impolicy of the None of them possess the power to repeal laws or alter or amend the Constitution, The present Executive removed the members of the old Board irom office chit fly because of their indefensible action in this regard, and neither ho nor the of which body be is be permitted to allow the members appointed by him any indulgence in profitable theories of theoretical 1 hotel bills, however mild, while the law commands only actual reimbursement of actual sums incurred." REFUSAL TO REBUILD THE NAVY. Bullheadcdncss it the only term to apply to the stupidity of the Democrats in the House of Representative-, who. led by Randall, refused to continue the work of rehabilitating the American navy. Even the New York Herald is forced to say: We have repeatedly expressed astonishment and contempt for the lack of political sagacity on the part of the Democrats in obstinately offending public and patriotic concerning this measure. Mr.

Randall either stupidly or willfully plays into Mr. Blame's hand. Not even Elkins or Phelps or Piatt is so efficient a worker for Blame." But it is more far-reaching than tlic help it gives Blame and Logan, for it absolutely endangers the country. The nation is exposed to the assault of any Power possessed of two or three ordinarily strong ironclads. It is all well enough to say that we are at peace but that is precisely the time in which to prepare for war.

Indeed, preparation and readiness for war is the greatest conservator of peace. It is the unexpected that happens, and when the need for ships of war arises it will be unexpectedly. The sole objection Mr. Randall raised to the appropriation was that the Democratic majority had not confidence in the honesty of the Navy Department to disburse the money. Congress lias expended several millions of dollars on monitors and steel cruisers, and at the last moment the House refuses to have them completed.

When Randall talked about a pending investigation of the Navy Department, Mr. Calkins reminded him that it hud no relation to the monitors and cruisers. Randall was forced to admit this but thought it should have its effect on the pending measure. Calkins again put the question to the House, Do you refuse to build a navy?" and the Democratic majority under Randall replied, We do." Calkins then got in the neatest of blows by saying that the reason was one of pride and perhaps of temper. The Democratic patty had forgotten its traditions and had gotten to be simply a party of criticism.

He referred to the prompt reparation which Great Britian demanded and received for any injury done to one of her subjects abroad, and contrasted it with the timid conduct of the United States when one of her citizens had been maltreated and abused. There were petitions in the Foreign Affairs Committee which would show this abuse and maltreatment. Under the leadership of the gentleman who was a prominent candidate for the Presidency the fiat bad gone forth that the navy should not be built up until after the next Presidential election. If that was the position the gentleman chose to assume, the Republican party was ready to meet it." So ii is, and at the polls in November the electore of the country must determine whether the national honor shall be put at stake, while Democrats use it to aid an electioneering scheme. Reed of "Maine asked Randall why he did not amend the bill to meet his objections.

Randall replied evasively, saying, You want to construct vessels that we believe twelve months will show are not equal to the second class- armaments of the world." To which Reed responded with the question, Why don't you make the necessary amendments to build vessels that are good?" and again Mr. Randall evaded the inquiry by that the Republicans had the last Congress and refused to complete the monitors. Which answer disclosed the interest ofthe Democracy in the premises. Fortunately, however, the country will not applaud the narrow economy, but will condemn the Democrats for th grave mistake of their leader. GENERAL PALMER'S MULE.

At the Democratic State Convention Governor John B. Palmer made a speech against time, while free-trade Morrison and compromise Harrison were in the travail of council over a tariff plank for the platform. The Governor, among other things, said something about General Logan, when a voice cried out, Look out for the Black Eagle." At this the Governor shouted, "The eagle in this case is a buzzard. Now let me tell you if, as I heard some friend whisper, I were nominated in t'hicagoand were elected in should demand a plank in the platform providing that the eagle should be stricken off American coin and a mule substituted. The eagle is a foul bird at the best.

A mule represents the American character in steadfast purpose and defense of our rights. The mule is always a winner." That is a good Democratic doctrine, and if the Democracy wins in November we trust that the mule will be substituted lor the eagle. The one is typical of lofty aims and daring approaches to the sun lives in the pure atmosphere of exalted altitudes and rules the kingdom of the air. The other is a beast of burden bound to earth, enduring blows and slavery, and its highest ambition is to be ranked among the If the Democracy wins in November, it will be because of kickers, and the mule certainly should then oust the bird of freedom from the national shield. We second General Palmer's suggestion and suggest an addendum that the coin motto be likewise reformed and the word "God" be displaced hy the name of some patron saint of tbe Democratic Jeff Davis, for instance.

Tin San Francisco Call says that because Mr. late Minister to Germany, in response to a question by a reporter whether be lilt that th" Government had failed to support hint, replied, "I would rather not talk about that," therefore it is to be assumed that Mr. Sargent does not consider that the Government gave him proper support. No such conclusion is justified by the premise. Mr.

Sargent's declination to "'talk" about the matter -In that he knows what the proprieties are. Ho could not do a more undiplomatic, no' to say ungcntlemanly, thing than to discuss the matter before he has reported in person at Washington to the ite Department. Tin: Illinois Democracy, instate Convention Peoria, July 2d, in platform distinctly told the Prohibitionists that in that camp they could expect nothiug, declaring "the enactment of a prohibitory liquot law as being fanatical in emanation destructive of the rights of free men, vicious and fraught with manifold Yet Prohibitionists will oppose the Republican party to the benefit of the Democracy. With no earthly hope of themselves winning, they so deport themselves as to aid a party that distinctly and plainly declares the prohibition creed to be fraught with I manifold evils." The report is abroad at New York that the cholera has appeared in that city. It is denied however by health officials.

Naturally the officials would st first attempt to conceal the fact, that a panic might be avoided. It is probable that the report is without truth. Yet it is possible that the plague has crossed the Atlantic. If so. there is no earthly power that can stay Us spread over the continent.

All that can tie done i- by cleanliness, to render the assault of the disease less virulent. Thk Applcton Crescent declares that "the Chicago Wer-OeeOm went clear down into the bowels of hell aud dug the story up that Logan was a secessionist, to injure I-ogan as a l'resi dential candidate of its own party." The Inter- Ocean treats the slander in the only way such villainous stories can be treated when it says "This i- a lie. The liitrrtteian never did anything that could be twisted into such an intimation even by Democrat." Tin: Doited suites Circuit Court at Philadelphia has decided that the top ofa letter-box cannot be presumed to be a designated depository of the United States, and that letters and other mail matter placed there are not posted." It would seem hardly necessary have carried such a common sense point into the Courts. THE CONVENTION. FROM FIRST giuia.

E. A. Burke of Louisiana, W. R. Morrison of Illinois, Henry Watterson of Kentucky and Ceo.

L. Conoverof Ohio. The committee then adjourned until o'clock this evening, and the sub-committee began its work. Because of the wide divergency in views between the members of the sub-committee on the tariff question, almost every shade of opinion from free trade to protection "being represented, the work of formation of the platform will probably be a long one, and the opinion is expressed that two, and possibly three platforms will be presented to the full committee. Should this be the result, the session of the main committee will also probably be a long one, and little hope is expressed by the members thai a report will be ready for presentation to the Convention before to-morrow, and possibly not then.

ANTI-MONOPOLIST BUTLER. New York, July following was made public to-day: New York, July 7th. Benjamin F. Butler, Chicago: Your friends here advise you to bolt the Convention if a monopolist like Cleveland is nominated. Jons F.

Henry, President National Anti-Monopoly Organization. Chicago, July Sth. John F. Henry, New York: Will never agree to the nomination of a monopolist. Benj.

F. BITLER. In answer to overtures from Cleveland's friends, Gcnoral Butler promptly responded that he could not consent to hold a Cabinet office under a man so unskilled in politics as Mr. Cleveland. In making his reply to the overtures General Butler's language was more vigorous than elegant, but it conveyed a contemctous idea.

THE TARIFF OF THE PLATFORM. Chicago, July At midnight the Committee on Platform had not completed ils work, having been in session 36 hours. On the subject of the tariff a great variety of propositions were made. Late this afternoon Messrs. Hewitt, Watterson and Burke constructed out of these propositions a tariff plank.

This was taken as the basis of discussion, and it was fiunllv'shnped so as to meet the approval of all the members of the sub-committee except Butler. The plank, as reported to the general committee, and adopted by it, declares, in substance, as follows: That the need of a change in our tariff system Is made manifest by the excessive revenue: that since the foundation of the Government Custom-house duties have furnished it its main source of revenue. This tern must continue. Under it many industries have sprung into existence, which depend (or their continuous prosperity upon the faith and invitation of the Government; that the change from a bad system to a good system should not be made precipitately, or in any manner likely to injure these great interests, but rather to" promote their healthy growth. Enough revenue can be collected from an excise duty upon distilled spirits and malt liquors and Custom-house duties upon fewer articles, to support the Government, pay pensions and discharge the interest and principal of the public debt; but fortunately the reduction of taxation can be hnd without hurt to the wages of labor.

This plank In the platform closes by declar- ing that all taxation shall be exclusively for public purposes, and that no more taxes shall be collected than are required to support the Government in an economical administration. This is the only clank of the platform yet adopted. Morrison was chosen permanent Chairman, with Instructions to report the platform to the Convention when completed. REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. Chicago, July The Convention has been in session all day.

and the delegates have had but little time' for wire-pulling and outside work. Cleveland still retains his strong lead, and it is believed that he will receive on the lirst ballot between and 350 voles. His friends expect that utter the complimentary voting is ended, which will be with the tirst ballot, Cleveland will receive enough votes to secure the nomination on the second ballot. Ohio on the first ballot will give llondly between 25 and 30 vote-, the balance going to Thurman; but before the vole is announced it is expected that the HouUly vote will will be charged to Cleveland. McLean denies the story that he has been guilty of bad faith With the Thurman faction, and denies that his unanimous election as Chairman of the delegation was procured by a promise on his part to support Thurman.

Illinois is expected to cast 40 votes for Cleveland on the first ballot. The solid votes of lowa and Wisconsin are also counted lor him. and there are but few delegations from which straggling votes ore not expected. While the Cleveland forces remain confident of success, the position does not Been as strong as "it was twenty-four hours ago. Every hour's delay in reaching a ballot is weakening his strength.

The incessant assertions of the Tammany people that Cleveland cannot carry New York have had effect with the delegates; but the personal statements of Kelly and his henchmen have contributed less to weaken Cleveland's cause than the apparent fact that an irreconcilable division exists in the party there, which will render the selection of a candidate from New York dangerous. The growth of this feeling encourages the friends of Bayard, McDonald and Thurman. There ems to be more genuine feeling among the delegates in the Convention this morning for '1 hurmon than any of the candidates named, and if the Ohio candidate came from any other than an October State, there nre many politicians ho think he would get the nomination. There are dozens of Southern and Eastern men who think that to carry New York it is best to choose a candidate from the outside, upon whom all the factious oi the Empire State can unite. Hayard is the first choice of these men, but the appeals, heard of so often in the Convention to-day, for the burial of sectional differences, shows that the unfortunate Dover speech Is uppermost in the minds of his friends.

One thing which gives more comfort to the Cleveland leaders to-night than anything else is, that although their candidate i- opposed by a majority of the Convention, the man upon whom the opposition can unite is not now in sight. The lines ore so loosely drawn, however, and the contest such on uncertain one, that although the conditions ore somewhat similar to those in tin- Republican Convention the night preceding Blame nomination, yet Cleveland certainly does not occupy, the Impregnable position that Blame did. The two-third rule a stumbling block in Cleveland's path. He can secure a majority with case, but the difference between 110 is not easily overcome. BCTLER STILL A The Massachusetts delegates held a secret caucus to-night.

The members are reticent, but admit that Butler had reconsidered his decision to withdraw from the He'd as a candidate, and that he would be presented after the second ballot. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Justin D. Fulton, the noted Baptist clergyman, was married in New York Tuesdrfy, to Mrs. Laura K.

DISPATCHES TO THE V-- .1 Excitement in Modesto. Modesto. July Yesterday morning's fire is universally believed to be the work of an incendiary. Public feeling is running high, and there is no doubt that a number of the prominent inhabitants who have had nothing to do with the regulators are strongly in favor of forming a Vigilance Committee to clear the town of all improper characters, and, if possible, keep it so. This trouble has been of some years' growth here.

Gamblers and lewd characters, who have been found necessary by many of the saloon-keepers to tempt and "fleece the farm hands after harvest, have remained In the city during the remainder of the year. When they have had no outsider to rob they have quarreled and fought amongst themselves, and the arm of the law has proved powerless to deal with them. The number of opium dens has increased during the last few years, there being one or two in the burnt district. These were the resorts of gamblers, pimps and prostitutes. The constables made arrests, but.

as they failed to catch the smokers in the act, failed to obtaiu judgments. In this way the bad characters came to believe the law was not strong enough to touch them. When the people banded together to enforce order, these harpies dispersed for a time, but, as soon as the popular excitement was over, returned to their haunts. This is the case at the present time, and as it lacks but a few weeks belore the men will be paid off from the harvest fields, there is now present in Modesto a large number of the vilest men aud women. The present tire, whether caused by incendiarism or not, will probably lead to the formation of a Vigilance Committee and the purification of the town, for the present, at least.

All Quiet on the Moquelemos. July All is quiet on the lauds in dispute near Clements, in the northeastern part of San Joaquin county. When Sheriff Cunningham appeared this morning on the ranch of Bailey Carpcnder, to take charge of the wheat crop he had under attachment, the settlers who proposed to take the law into their own hands in defiance of civil process pulled up stakes, removed their harvesting machines and vacated th premises. The local militia appeared on the ground. Sheriff Cunningham is iv quiet possession, and the crop will lie gathered under his orders by virtue of the writ.

Fire at San Jose. San Jose, July Turn Vercin Hall, a frame building on First street, in this city, valued at $12,000, together with sheds in the rear, was destroyed by tire at 11 o'clock this morning.

I tli ml fold tic- ing. San Fkancisco, July Dr. J. H. Zukertort, the international champion of chess, gave a remarkable exhibition of his wonderful memory and skill at the game last night in Irving Hall, where lie played twelve games, blindfold, against Messrs.

Redding, Heineman, Yerworth, Marshall, Van Vleit, Franklin, llolstciu, Pipers, Walstcin, ditcher, Oakley and Welsh. Dr. Zukertort sat on the with his back turned toward the audicuce and his antagonists, whose boards were placed on the tloor of the hall, where they were in plain view. The doctor kept no external record of the moves made, and was obliged to recollect the position of every piece on each board. The whole number of these was 884, with innumerable varieties of combination.

That he did know the exact position of the pieces was evident throughout all the games. The caller neglected several times to say "check," ami was reminded of his forgetfulness by the champion. At 1:15 this morning the Doctor won his tirst game from Mr. Critcher in twenty-six moves. In a few minutes heresigned to Mr.

Two Indian boys were playing by the side ofthe track, and on the approach of engine 78 started to run across the rails. The first made the trip, but the one killed, known by the Indian name of Dehalare, stumbled and fell, and was caught by the pilot and dragged some forty feet.

The upper part of his body was a mass of unrecognizable flesh. Quite a number of squaws were on the scene instantly, who made the air re-echo with their lamentations and An Inquest will be held to-morrow. Senator Sharon parsed through this evening, and remarked to a reporter that be was returning to San Francisco to take observations during the balance of the divorce trial.

OREGON. Advices from I'ortlaud. July Henry Weeks, engaged in business at Union, mysteriously disappeared some days ago. Weeks was doing a good business, and there seems no reason why he should leave the country.

He is thought to have committed suicide or to have been the victim of foul play. Yesterday Isaac Sinsheimer, general dealer and manufacturer of furniture, made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. The liabilities are said to be the assets will not exceed The residence of A. Vf. Berry, at Astoria, was burglarized Sunday night, and about SnjO in watches, bracelets, rings, were taken.

There is no clue to the thief. Sunday night, the only two prisoners confined in the County Jail at Astoria, cut a hole through the roof and escaped. One of the prisoners was James Reeves, who shot and killed Julius Schwazcr a few weeks ago. and is under indictment for murder. The other prisoner is Arthur (foreland, charged with grand larceny.

The officers are searching for the escaped prisoners, but at the latest accounts they were still at large. The failures for the first six months of tho present year in Oregon numbered 101; liabilities, (368,719. The failures in Washington Territory during the same period were liabilities, assets, Patrick Doyle, who recently shot and very seriously wounded James Keller during a row at Elmo, Vf. some days ago, had a preliminary examination yesterday. The defendant was held, to await the action ofthe Grand Jury, in the sum Of 16,000.

In default of bonds he was committed to jail. Kelley, at latest account, is much better, and, it is thought, will probably recover. BRITISH The Colliery Coroner's Inquest. Victoria, July The jury commenced their investigation yesterday of the Wellington mine disaster. The first witness called was David Knox, the foreman, who underwent a most rigid examination and cross-examination.

lie told a straightforward story, which carried conviction to all who heard it of its truthfulness. He said he visited every stall in No. 10 level, where the accident occurred, before the miners went down in the mine to work, as it was his duty to do, and found no gas of consequence anywhere, except in two or three places, and only in small quantities here. He gave one of the miners a safety lamp to go to a place where there appeared the most gas, and cautioned the miners in regard to tho same. He was an old miner, and had commenced to work in a mine in England before he was eight years old, and had worked in mines more than 83 years.

Mr. Haggart, who employed him. and Mr. Boas, the present foreman, testified to his hlness for the position, and his faithfulness and promptitude in the discharge of his duties. Other witnesses were examined, and the adjourned until to-day.

Victoria Items. Victoria, July M. R. I.ampan. a Hudson Bay employe at BkeetUt Forks, believing his life in danger, engaged eighteen Quahalquet Indians to protect him from the tribe who killed Vi ononis at Skeena.

The tribe say they will not give up the murderer of Judge Elliott. The police interviewed Mrs. Yeomans and the white man who witnessed the murder. Skeeua river being very high, the Judge and officers go by Naas "river, with the Indians engaged as interpreters and trackers, and after a day spent in preparing, will proceed overland a distance of to miles, and expect to reach the scene of the murder on the loth instant. The whites and Indians at the Mission appreciate the prompt action ofthe Provincial tiovernment.

The salmon arc very plentiful on the Skeeua and Naas rivers. A white man, name not given, bad the best part of his hand cut off by a saw at Warren's mill, at River's Rev. M.
