(tilt. XI I.I)E ASU THE PKESI-
oi:.cv.
If then' Is any one thing, more than
another, to cause the average American
to blush with flialne, it is l In force and
power of "machine" politics. It is not
confined to any party, race, or condi
tion of politics. It rears its hydra head
most presumptuously, perhaps, in the
Republican party, where it is said a
syndicate of United States Senators
have resolved either to name the candi
date of the .Chicago convention, or to
demand that no man shall be nomi
nated who is objeclioiiahle to thathyn-
dicate Tharsyndicate warned Grant
as the " proper man. and Conklinsr, in
New York, and Don C.tihen i, in Penn
sylvania, were appointed to start the
"boom" in those two Stales. . Satellites
and understrappers all over the country
were directed just how to manipulate
the State conventions which were to
follow New York and Pennsylvania,
and as a result, Grant's nomination is
almost assured.
In the Democratic party Mr. Saml. J
Tilden, of New York, is the mariner at
the helm who claims to guide the ship
of Democracy, only into .such an haven
as he shall ehoose. Utterly oblivious of
everything except his own advance
ment, as claimed by Tammany, lie "has
conspired and contrived to get control of
party organizations, which he has ccn
verted into personal machines and used
in high-handed and unscrupulons ways.
In total disregard of the wishes of the
people and the interests of of the party
he planned and effected the conibina
tiou which, defeated the regular Demo
cracy in the city of New York in 1878.
He forced the nomination of a candi
date for Governor in 1879 in the face of
the earnest protest of the Democrats in
the strongest Democratic county, whom
that Governor had abused, thus
forcing Democrats who knew the facts
and respected their principles to organ
lze the opposition which threw neaily
eighty thousand votes to an indepen
dent candidate. It was Saml. J. Tilden
who defeated the Democracy of New
York last fall and gave the whole gov
ernment of the-State to the Republicans.
Ever since that humiliating defeat he
has been plotting and working for the
same end, tightening his grip on the
party organizations, refusing to consid
er proposals for harmony, widening the
breach in the Democratic ranks, and in
timating through his agents, that if he
is not chosen captain he will wreck the
ship." It was Lucifer who said he had
rather "rule in hell, than serve in heav
en," and Mr. Tildeji seems to have been
fired with an equally selfish ambition.
Mr. Tilden is a born leader, but that
is no reason why the reat Democratic
party must be subordinated to his will
In his wild ambition he has risen above
his party; and, through" willing heneh
men,Iike the assemblage at Syraduse;
he assumes to dictate his own terms.
After he had been elected to the presi--ileirey
in i87fllie lacked the manliness
to assert his rights. , He was willing
that Abram S. Hewitfc,. Manton Marble
and others should Tie the cats-paws to
pull the phestnuts put of the fire, but he
was im willing tS risk anything himself,
except the 4rickery fHhe New York
politician. How he succeeded, and how
lie allowed a usurper to occupy the
place given him by 484,885 freemen's
votes, and a cjear majority , of 250,955,
the country knows.
Suppose his peculuur politics should

Democratic jarty, has. the .country any.

A3H2XD9IENTS TO THE STATE CON
STITUTION.
Very little has been said id the State
papers about two proposed amendments
to the State constitution which are to
be submitted t6 the peopleit the next
election. The Raleigh Observer of Tues
day refers again to the matter and calls
attention to the fact that the first one
is as follows, to-wit : Strike out all of
section 10, article 11, of the constitu
tion, and insert in lieu thereof the fol-
owing: "The General Assembly may
provide that the indigent deaf mutee.
blind and insane of the State, shall be
cared for at the charge of the State.
The proposed amendment makes two
changes in the law. First, as the con
stitution now stands, it is made the du
ty of the State to provide for all of these
unfortunate creatures. The proposed
change removes that duty as an obliga
tion, and leaves it optional with the
General Assembly. And secondly.it
urther leaves it optional withthe Gen
eral Assembly whether insane persons,
who are not indigent, shall be cared for
at the public expense.
The other proposed amendment is in
hese words, which ave to be added to
section 6, article 1, of the constitution:
Nor shall the General Assembly as
sume or pay, or authorize the collection
of any tax to pay, either airecuy or in
directly, expressed or implied, any debt
or bond incurrred, or issued, by authori
ty of the convention of the year one
thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight.
nor shall any debt or Dona incurred or
issued bv the Legislature of the year
one thousand eight hundred and sixty
eight, either at its special session of the
year one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight, or at its regular sessions of
the years one thousand eigne nunarea
and sixty-eight and one thousand eight
lundred and sixty-nine, and one thou
sand eight hundred and seventy, except
the bonds issued to tund the interest on
be old debts of the State, unless the
proposal to pay the same shall have
first been submitted to the people and
by them ratified by the vote of a ma
jority of all the qualified voters of the
State -at a regular election held tor that
purpose. .
The effect of this proposed amend
ment is generally to forbid the State by
its officers to make any provision to pay
the special tax bonds and other uncon
stitutional bonds, unless the same shall
hereafter be ordered by the people. So
that incase of any proceeding hereafter,
by which the liability of the State to
pay any part of these bonds should Le
ascertained, nothing can be done in the
matter without the assent of the peo
ple at the polls.
The fraud of the electoral commis
sion can never be repeated with im
punity on the American continent, and
in view of - this fact the Democratic
members of the committee otf rules of
the House and Senate have long been
trying to adopt a plan for counting the
electoral vote. They start with the as
sumption that nothing that the Demo
crats will approve, even Senator Ed
munds' bill.will receive the approval of
the President or the votes of the Re
publicans in Congress. Therefore a
j nnt rule is the only alternative left to
them. What this shall be is the prob
lem. The difficulty which presents it
self in forming the proposed rule con
sists in finding a provision to meet the
case of two contesting sets of electors
from the same State; how shall the
legal vote be counted, and who shall
decide which is tho legal vote? There
is a wide difference of opinion, especial
ly among Senators, on this question.
fcsjrae hold that Congress has power to
decide and that both houses ought to
concur in the decision before the vote
is counted; others insist that there is
no right in Congress to decide between
contesting sets of electors, but that it
must be left to the States. The emer
gency that arose in 1877 in counting
the electoral vote may never occur
again, but for all that 'we believe that
Congress will be culpably negligent of
the best interests of the country, if it
does not pass some law which will ab
solutely forbid its recurrence.
Regret will be felt throughtoiit the
Suth that Gen. Jo. Johnston has de
termined to retire from Cangress as
soon as his present term expires. It is
a pleasure to his friends in this section
of the Union to know that this regret
is shared at the North. TUaPhiladel
phia Times remarks that "he was one
of the ablest and most heroic of the
Southern commanders, and he has been
one of the most faithful in the mainte
nance of the logical results of the war
after the judgment of -.the sword hadj
been given against his cause. General
Johnston represents the Richmond dis
trict, one of the most intelligent of Vir
ginia, and his constituents would honor
themselves by re-electing him without
asking bis assent. As one of liis politi
cal faith is certain to be his. successor,
the better classes of all parties and sec-.
tions would be glad to have General
Johnston continued in the House."
We regret that Mr. T. B. Kingsbury, of
the Wilmington Star, will not consent,
under any circumstances, to ,f.lIow his
name to ga before the State convention
for the nomination for Superintendent
of Public Instruction- His card declin
ing the honor serves to illustrate his
fitnesss for the position, in that it shows
how fully he comprehends its duties
and realizes its responsibilities.
Disraeli yields to the inevitable and
sends in his resignation as chief of the
British cabinet. This change is the
consequence of the recent revolution
in public sentiment in England, as indi
cated by the recent elections. He will
probably be succeeded by Lord Hart-
ington, as indicated by a dispatch pub
lished elsewhere.

Adjournment "Without Election
STAUNT03L Vi., April 22.--Tbe re
port of the committee oaredentials,
after much exciting discussion, was
adopted, except that Dr. C. S. Mills, col
lector of customs at Richmond, was un
seated, and Capt. R. A. Paul, contestant,
seated. The committee on permanent
organization, E. W. Early, chairman,
reported, nominating for president Gen,
W. u. wiCKnam; ior secretary, r. u.
Hill; assistant secretaries, J. 13. Work
and J. Yost, and one vice-president
from each senatorial district.
Ex-Snator John T. Lewis was nom
inated for president of the convention,
and afterjanother long and exciting dis
cussion, during which more confusion
ensued and personalities were indulged
in, Mr. Dezendort, ot JNortoiK, in the
interest of peace, seconded the nomina
tion of Col. Lewis. The vote was
very close, not being more
than three or four difference, and be
fore it was announced some members
accused others of voting twice, and of
voting as delegates, who were not in
the house. Another count was there
fore called. It was resolved that in
making the second count every man
should rise in his seat when his name
was called. The vote was taken quiet
ly until the last name was called, but
before it was announced it was known
to be a tie and great excitement ensued.
while the absentees were being hunted
up and hurried in and voted. After an
hour of excitement and confusion the
vote was announced 62 for Wickham
and 62 for Lewis when an old gentle
man looking quite unwell and as if just
aroused from his bed, was brought be
fore the stand and the demand made
that his vote should be recorded. Pend
ing a noisy discussion tne convention
adjourned at 2 o clock a. m., untir 10
o'clock.
A FU1GHTFVL DISASTER.
A Building Fall in With Fatal Re
sults
New York, April 21, 10:30 p. m. A
serious disaster has occurred at Madi
son Square Garden. The Western or
Madison avenue end of the building
fell in. A fair in aid of the Hohueman
hospital was in progress at the-time.
There were about 800 people hi , the
building at 9.30, when the front of the
building facing on Madison avenue
gave way, the wall falling outwards.
Part of the roof adjoining also fell in
with a crash and caused intense alarm
inside the building. It is not at this
time known how many persons were
killed, but three have already been
taken out dead and seven wounded, in
cluding Mrs. W. Oguen.Hegeman, Wm.
F. Tileston and Mrs. James Smith, of
Flushing.
The part of the building which fell
was mainly occupied as an art gallery,
to which the pictures were loaned, and
was insured for 3150,000 against "fire
alone, but, so far as known, not against
other accidents.
New York, April 22. Win. M. Tiles
ton, who had an arm and both legs
broken by the falling in of the western
end of the Madison Square Garden
building last night, died at 4 o'clock
this morning, at liellevue hospital.
This makes four deaths so far. An
other victim is reported this morning
to have died at St. Vincent's hospital,
but the name is not given. Sixteen
others were injured.
FIRE IN OTTAWA,
seven uunareu uuiiuuigK, including'
the City Hall, Destroyed--Loss of
Life.
Ottawa, Ont., April 21. Midnight.
Fully one-half of the city hall is in
ruins. A fire broke out in the house
occupied by B. Sabourin, on Bridge
street, this afternoon, and owing to the
high wind, spread rapidly both in north
erly and easterly directions, and despite
every means available, the flames could
not be checked, and building after buil
ding was destroyed. The houses, with
few exceptions, were light wooden
ones. The whole area of ground com
posing Church, Dulle, Lake, Kent, Al
bion, Wellington, Charles, Central,
Wnghi, Hannah, and several other
streets, was burned. The bent was in
tense and the smoke so dense that the
city was almost shrouded in darkness.
The fire raged in fierce intensity from
30 until 7, when the wind fortunately
changed and itwas gotten under control
It is estimated that between 700 and 800
houses were destroyed, and "over 4,000
people are-homeless. Several lives am
known to be lost, Whilst it is reported
that at least n dozen perished. It is
known positively that a woman named
Latramouule and,a man named Ouil-
lette were burned. -The area of ground
over which the fire travelled is a mile
long by four hundred yards wide. Loss
500,000 to $000,000.
The Greenville and Columbia Rail
road and its Future Policy.
The -News- and Courier, under the
above heading, has the following: "It
is now contemplated, we are informed,
to reorganize the road under a new
name, to add to its rolling stock and
equipment, and,. operate ;t, as it has
been worked during: tna past yeary4 as
an open road fo&air buaioeasj jbijt it is
especially declared tliat there shall be
no discrimination, against Charleston.
Such discrimination however, would not
be likely, in any event; for almost the
entire cotton movement of the road (92
per cent, for list ytear) gravitates to
Charleston on account of the marked
advantages of its imarket, while from
our jobbing stores and warehouses
there is a large daily movement of
f reigllt to the up-country depots. Self
interest will, therefore, prompt the
Greenville road to consider Charleston
interests. We could have wished that
the absolute control of this road should
have once more rested in Charleston :
but everV effort to accomplish this re
sult had failed, and the assurance from
responsible sources that, is now given
of an impartial administration' of the
line, in all that affects Charleston busi
ness, is certainly the next best thing."

OF YESTERDAY'S PRO

Morrill submitted resolution instruct
ing the committee on printing to take
such measures as shall exclude from
the permanent Congressional Record
what purports to be a copy-righted ar
gument of a territoiial delegate, which
appears ill the Record to-day, but was
in fact neyer delivered in the House of
Representatives. . . . .
sauisbury inougnt tnanne iouse
having authorized the poem to be print
ed, the Senate could not in courtesy in
terfere. Morrill said the Senate would have to
bear part of the reputation, good or bad,
of authorizing this production.
Hamlin said the committee on print
ing was a joint committee, and nothing
could be done without consulting the
House. He hoped this affair would re
sult in the future exclusion of speeches
and other productions not actually de
livered in Congress.
Morrill said that since offering tne
resolution he had learned that the
House was considering the matter, and
he therefore withdrew his resolution,
At the expiration of the morning
hour the Senate resumed the considera-
t o i of the army bill. The reading of the
b 1 was interrupted bv a message from
the President informing the Senate and
House that the heirs of the late Joseph
Coolidge, of Boston, desired to present
to the United States the desk on which
Thomas Jefferson wrote the declaration
of independence." 5
A loint resolution, aaopieu Dy tne
House, accepting the gift aud thanking
the donors, was passed without divi
sion. The consideration of the army bill
was then resumed.
Blaine moved to strike out the sec
tion relating to the use of the army at
the polls. Rejected yeas, 20, nays 28.
Blaine then offered an amendment
prohibiting the carrying of weapons at
the polls by any one under a penalty of
fine and imprisonment. The chair ruled
that this amendment was not in order,
inasmuch as it introduced new legisla
tion.
The Republicans then offered several
amendments intended to break the force
of the army at the polls by giving it
such a construction as not to prevent
the use of the army on the election day
in the manner and for the purposes pre
scribed by existing laws. All these
amendments were rejected by the same
vote 29 to 19. Among them was the
following offered by Edmunds: "But
this section shall not be held to apply
to any case in which, under the consti
tution of the United States, the Presi
dent may employ the military power of
the government in the faithful direc
tion of the laws."
Blaine made another effort to get in
a differently worded version of his
amendment relative to the carrying of
weapons at tne pons, out it was again
ruled Out of order.
The bill was then read the third time
and passed yeas, 28 ; nays, 18.
On motion of Salisbury, the resolu

blank verse entitled "The Immortal
which is copyrighted by Downey, of
Wyoming, and which purports to be in
support of his bill providing for the
painting of Biblical pictures on the
walls of t'.e capitol.
Garfield called attention to this fact,
and moved that the speech be referred
to the committee on rules to inquire
whether it is competent for a member
to copyright his. speech, pointing out at
the same time the danger which might
attend such practice.
Downey replied that he had the opin
ion oi tne iiDranan or congress upon
the competency of his copyrighting his
work. He had no objection, however.
to (iarheid s motion.
monger, however, did oppose it in
rather an amusing speech, in which he
intimated that Garfield was envious of
the rising young poet. The yeas and
nays wereyordered on liarneld s motion
and during the roll call the members
separated into groups, the singular
speech oeing the sole topic or con versa
tion.
Garfield s motion was agreed to, 119
to 105.
The Speaker laid before the House a
message from the President informing
Congress that the heirs of the late Jo
seph Coolidge, of Boston, desired to
present to the nation the desk on which
Thomas Jefferson wrote the declaration
of independence, and which Jefferson
had given to said Coolidge.
Crapo, of Massachusetts, offered ;
