MONOHAN, Jackson county. H. C. JONES, Vinton county. Wk commend the opinion of Judge Matthews, on local option, to theOalli-polis Journal, which very confidently asserted, some weeks since, that such a nolicr was not possible under the so- called license clause of the new Consti tution.

According to Judge Matthews, who is one of lie best lawyers in Ohio, the powers of "the Legislature, under that clause, win ue rut) leleyrapn. If the Legislature will have "un limited" power under the license clause, then its submission is a fraud. If the Constitution was si lent upon the subject, the power of the Legislature would, of course, be unlimited. Then, what sense is there submitting the license clause to a vote of the people if by its adoption unlimited power is still reserved to the Legislature? In this view the whole thing of submission is non sense. It would make of the Con vention a body of fools.

No, the submission of license means some thing. It means a limitation of the powers of the General Assembly. It offers to the people an opportunity to determine me lxuicy oi me Male upon this question of the sale of in toxicating liquors, and the questions submitted were put into their prcs ent form and shape for that simple "purpose, and no other. The first proposition means license a lawful selling and those who vote for it do so with that understanding. If it carries, it will be expected that license will be the policy of the State.

That is the significance of a vote for license liquor sanctioned and sanc-tiGed by law and all the special pleading of the license men caunot change its meaning. Since writing the foregoing we have read a speech delivered by Hon. W. C.Eowland, a member of the Convention, who touches upon this mmtfrr TVAint swiik mlm( 1a 1 CI UUIUU VU IV TV II ill 11C Oil VS. I give the Legislature complete control of this, or any other question, the projier course would nave been "silence." Therefore, when the policy of silence, or leaving a blank on the liquor question was abandoned by the Convention, whatever was said upon the subject could have no other effect than that of limiting the power of the Legislature, as in the absence of such limitation their power was absolute.

The license men would not consent to leaving the Legislature thus free, and the result is that the insertion of either of the alterna tives upon this question will limit the power of the General Assembly. Can it be supposed that having refused to leave a blank, and thus remand the en. tire control of the question to the Gen eral Assembly, the convention would submit alternatives, either of which will be the same as a blank They did not intend such a result, and have there fore made the form of a ballot indica tive of the two issues "for license" and "against license." Next Tuesday August 18th the people of Ohio are called upon to decide the character of their funda mental law for the coming years. It is an important duty, and should be approached in the pure spirit of pat- riotism in a spirit of devotion to the Commonwealth. In voting for the Convention the people of Ohio pro nounced the present Constitution im perfect, and signified their desire for a new one.

The Convention, com posed of some of the ablest minds in the State, without political bias or prejudice, have given us one. Now, it is for the people to decide whether it or the old one shall be the basis of State action. The old is admitted to be defective; the new one may have its objections; and the question to be decided is which is the best? We believe the new one to be the best, and thus believing must vote for it We must vote according to our con yictious, and that is what every man should da Be sure you are right in your understanding of duty, and then faithfully and fearlessly per form it The democrats of the routh are very liberal; they have organized what is called the white man's party, aad they say to the colored man, vote with us and have peace, or refuse it and have a war of races.

The temperance question is an example.

In its inception he sought to become its leader, even go ing so far as to personally solicit the position of "organ" from the League. Through the Secretary he was furn ishedwith the proceedings, and for awhile performed his duty satisfac torilv. Here is a specimen of the style in which it was done. It is cop ied from the Bulletin of January 21. 1874.

Read it: The Bulletin of last week contain ed a report of the doings of the Wo man's Temperance League up to the morning of Tuesday, the litn. in the afternoon of each day of last week, the ladies went forth on their great Mission of reform, and visited different drinking saloons and other establishments, where liquors are sold, in various parts of the city, The calm, dignified and determined bearing of their movements have in soired all lookers-on with feelings of respect for the women, if not with wishes for the sticcess of their under taking. This was worthily said. He had made a good beginning, and the friends of sobriety and good order were encouraged to go forward in their "great mission of reform." But suddenly his zeal slackeued a new liirht broke in upon him family in tercsts led in an opposite direction nmwn. triumphed, and i he felL Now.

nothing too bitter could be said about the "movement." Whatliefore was a "great mission of reform" had suddenly become "fanati cal," "disseminators of Free Love doctrines." "hypocritical," "insane crusade," "persecution," "spies and sneaks," "intemperate "foul and dirty trade," "slimy, nasty look," and much more of the same vile and disgraceful stuff. But we need not enlarge these quotations his words of bitterness and hatred are too well remembered to require repetition they stand recorded as a disgrace to journalism and decency, It was a wonderful transformation, accomplished in a few short weeks. Uncle John Robinson ought to en gage llie trickster tor nis circus We are sure he would draw well. He would astonish and confound the world by his startling feats of presto here 1 am, and uow I ain't here. He can rct a certificate from our best citizens that he is well trained for ground and lofty tumbling.

Tuesday next the people of Ohio will be called upon to decide the liquor question to decide whether the policy of the State shall be li cense, or no license, it is an impor tant duty. Whether the Constitu tion is adopted or defeated, neverthe- i css una vote win he taken as an in dexof the wishes of the people, and thus become the basis of State action. It is, therefore, of the utmost iinpor tancc that upon this question, at least, there should be a full vote and a vote that will represent the will of the people.

To our mind the question is a simple one. If the sale of whisky, to lie drank upon the premises where sold, is a blessing, then vote license. But if on the other hand, it is a curse, then you cannot do otherwise than vote no li cense, for to vote license under such circumstances would be a crime against your neigblior, even your own household, of the gravest character. See to it then that j'ou perform this duty in such a way as that humanity may be benefitted instead of debased, and as that you may have a "conscience void of ofTense toward God and toward man." Both of the now whisky organs A. Hli" oul lemper- auce movement, xue jouknal aid the same.

The two have gone back on their first well chosen path. The Journal refused the proffered purchase; followed the true liueof duty, and maintained its consistency. Thereby it has become a standing reprimand to the others for their sud den and unexplained change of sentiment, and this it is that has drawn down upon the conductors of the Journal the personal assaults of these weathercocks. we have passed through many a fight with sin and corruption, and we are too old a campaigner to be intimidated, or driven from our course, by this light weight affair. The actions of men now-a-days, will not do to base opinions upon they are uncertain guides.

Hypocrisy and deceitfulness characterize the actions of too many who seek to di rect public Yes, sir there is no mistake about that actually appeared as editorial in the columns of the Saturday organ. It is accounted for on the sup position that it was written late Friday evening, probably in the hur ry and confusion of getting the paper ready' for press. Under such circumstances, you understand, men often plead guilty. I a gi is it. The New Constitution.

judge in ash gave His views upon the new Constitution at the Court House, Monday evening; We have room only for a short abstract There are not many material differences -between the two. la the great substantial provisions the two are alike; and are these dif ferences such as to lead us to reject or to adopt the new one? The main cause or reason for the convention was the judiciary system. lhe present system had become un rkrkniilup an1 inadolliata to tlie ctis- i tu A.rat imtcu in uie uusiueas. iuc uuvav. Ir i oi iue oupreiue iuiku wm in irnni.

and thu nthor pfllirtH Were Incoming overloaded with business, and delays were becoming almost a denial of justice. This evil was the crying evil, which rendered the con vention a necessity. The convention has undertaken to remedy this evil; and in my opinion the change made is for the better. One complaint to the present sys torn waa that the common nleas judges sat in the District court to re- vise their own judgment The press nf business in the Sunreme court had compelled the judges of that court to absent themselves from attendance on the District courts and had thus nntirolir fhnno-xl ita rharaotpr. The convention has provided for this complaint by electing separate judges for the Circuit court which is the District court under another name.

There was no other wav to avoid the difficulty. In so acting the convention only obeyed public opin- .51 ion. This creates some new judges forthe Circuit court, but in so doing the number of common pleas judges is decreased. It is said that the new Constitu- tion increases the number of judges. The increase is eighteen judges over tue present uuinoer.

cut were is more work to be done under the new than under the present Constitution. There arc to be four terms of the Court of Common Pleas instead of three as now, and two terms of the Circuit court instead' of one as now. The dispatch of business requires these additional terms especially in the Circuit court so as to avoid de lay. But there will be no more judges than the business requires. If there are, the Legislature can abolish the office.

But this increase in the num Iter of judges will not be found to exceed the needs or the dispatch ol nusincss. ii me new constitution should not be adopted, the Legisla tine must create new courts and new judges iu order to secure dispatch and avoid delay. There can be no ecomomy here; you must have courts and judges enough to do the business of the people, lhe additional costs now imposed upon litigents by this delay is greater than any increased cost of the A government which does not provide a judiciary which can dispose without delay ot the business of the people in courts is no government; it is an absolute fail ure of government The Supreme court must have re lief. Business in that court is four years behind; that is, a case which "oes there has a chance of beiu? de cided at the end of four years, and at theeud of another ten years, a case cannot expect to be decided under some eight years. This is an abso-1 Intft iliMii.il of lnatien and mnat.

hoi rommiind The objection of exoense in the iu-1 dietary is no objection at all; because no one claims that there are too many judges lor the business. This busi ness must be done; and the people have a right to require it to be done. The busiuess of the courts would justify and require the adoption of this Constitution, if there were no other reasons. There are other reasons. The cumulative vote in Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties is another reason for its adoption.

Hamilton county rules the state by its large delega tion, all elected pf the same party. would have preferred dividing up these counties into single districts as the balance of the State is nearly. Hut single districts not being provi ded for, the cumulative voting is the next best thing. It will secure a di- lations of these counties, und larwlv diminish their influence over the other parts of the State. This is not I uartv Question: but a Question nf I securing a fair representation of pub- 11c opinion in the legislation of the I oiaLC.

I 4 .1. 1 I ouinu uujcvl Mi luv veto veil to the Governor. The object of ail legislation is to secure good laws. We have for this object two houses. so that each law ma' be twice con sidered.

Now this qualified veto looks to the same object to require further reflection. 1 he Governor is required to examine each law and see there are any objections to it, and he finds any, he is required to sug gest them lo the Legislature and the two houses are to reconsider the law and vote on it, and if three- fifths of each house vote for it, it will still become a law; but if it cannot secure that number of votes, it does not become a law. No law that ought to pass will be vetoed, or if it it will be passed notwithstanding The Governor will have no motive to object to a good law; and he win protect the people by vetoing a ikhi one. consider 111 is power a great conservative provision, calcula- ted to defeat only bad and dishonest! legislation, lhe honest part of the .1 ol typ.c buuu.u, meieiore, approve 01 tins provision. 11 is a provision in aid of honesty aqd a blow only at dis- nonesiy.

I think this provision a good one and will aid in stripping the courts of a party character. The other is the vote upon license, or no license.

Asa temperance man, it is difficult for me to make up my mind how to vote. I have no doubt bnt that license would for tha present be less demoralizing than no license. We have tried that for twenty years, and the sale of liquors to be drank where sold has been worse than ever before.
