10 HOW TO GET RID OF CESAR | | —_—-_——_ AN ORIGINAL PLAN PROPOSED: BY A CORRE. | SPONDENT. To THe Eprror op rus HERaLp:— It 18 supposed that a majority vote of the peuple, fairiy taken by permission of the exisitug govern- ment, is suMicient of itself and withvat aay lurther ceremony to establish a new fundamental law for the State. A moruing journal of January nuaes: thereon the tollowmg observation;—"I would like, At least, to delay the hour when tt shail be recog- nized 4s established precedent and undoubted sound politieal theory ta New York that a parusan Legisiature, in a time of bign excitement, may frame anew constitation, and, obtaming for it under the toafuence of some temporary popular | frevzy a partisan vote of approval, may subvert | the jundamental law of the State, say in thirty | days’ time.’ Without questioning the position stared or attempting to refute any of the argu- Ments offered in its support, tie journal's corres | spondent deprecates 8 acceptance. In a ree, representative democracy, based upon universal suffrage, such as our fepud- ie ta, nothing can be gained by sup- pressing great elementary trutus, It 1s clear that ail important principles which cannov be gamsaid should be known and ocknowledged, The people are supreme, and as no single member of the State can justiy be restrained \vom exer- cising bis individaai rights or unnecessarily im- peded or delayed therein, so shouid tae entire body be ever tree to exercise atany oud at every nstaut their corporate autcorivy. By what arti- tee shall the fetters be forged which can festrain or even Loy an hour delay th Suref¥ no power can do so save Omutpotence itselt acting through | the fixed laws of nature. Nor is there ny reas | sopebic ground for desiring such a restramt, The writer abo referred to bas nut, in tact, ex ressed any suci desire. ‘ihe words of nis depre- sentence above qnoted, and Ly me italte | lelsed, indicate that the subject of his fears 1s not the people, but parry. In that apprehension many may agree with him, and if means cannot be foand to extricate the people from their present boncage to party tuere ts some reaso paoue gf Washington mig ay to think that the Re- as well, like that of | tent Rome, yield to its fate, hail its “impe- | rator” at once and accept a tranquil bondage. but of this more anon. First, however, let us see Whether, in fact, the people can peacelully change their existing institutions at any moment, or, as | the writer eXpresses it, “suy in thirty days.’ Cer- Tamnly the time named by hum ts sufficient gr the enactment and publication of a State law and holding an election. ladeed, since the discovery of the magnetic telegraph and its establishment throughout our country, one-third of that time, or pernaps less, would sufice. An emergeacy might be conceived which would justliy the utmost prac- ticable speed. Nor 1s this legai and physical po- tentiality confined to the States. As tar a3 speed 18 concerned it -exists, to a} greater extent, in reference to the power of amendment or alteration provided for tn _ tue bond of our iederal Union. A resolution Qdopted without the President’s approval by two- thirds of both houses at Wasbington might be rat- ified on the same Cay in three-fourths obthe State legisiatures and ¢o /nstanti become “valid to all lutents and purposes as part of the’ Jederal “‘con- stitution.” Not asingle feature in that great ta- | slrument is exempt irom being thus summarily | changed save the requisite of each State’s “equal | sufrage in the Senate.” (Constitution of tue | Unitea States, article 5.) To be sure this could | Qot bave been so promptly effected in the state of | progress existing when the original instrument | Was adopted. But throughout the most oi every Winter it is now practicable. The magnetic tele- | raph has abolished every impediment, Congress ind all or nearly ali the state legislatures are isually im session at the same time, and any of the | atter thar may not be sitting can readiiy be cun- | ened. The only difliculty 13 tn tue requisite of | approximatmg so closely to unanimity, Whenever a need of sumMcient gravity shall arise this concord may be attainable. When no such neces- SL'y exists the facility should not be desired. Izis true that faction is not likely ever to possess so Much power Jor the attainment of its own malign purposes, and most happily 1s this so, but an in- dignant peopie may saiely be trusted with if, for “all experience bas shown that maukind are more o'sposed to suffer while evils are endurabie than to. right themseives ty abolisuing the forms to Which they are accustom So little morality is there im party that a civil War, the greatest of all caiamities, being engen- dered by it, one of the rival factions could without ‘crupie pick up, as it were in the hignway, a tipsy Member of the other, ewpurple tim to conspicuousness by carnage, then adopt him their chief, endow bim wita the powers of a Cesar, and luox on With sausiaction while ke tramples in the dust law, peace, order and the most sacred Mmghts of his countrymen.

On his reappearance last night be‘ore a New York audience Mr. J. L. Toole was warmly received. The gentleman seems none the worse of his travels through the States, out seems to enjoy better physical health tuan oc Dis arrival. Mr. ‘Toole last night assumed two rdles new to Ameri- can audiences, 10 which the low comedy talent of tue actor had full piay, Among ali the impersona- tions that Mr. Toole has undertaken not one has met wita greater or wider success than his “‘Art- jul Dodger.’ The bumor of tals characterization belongs thoroughly to low Eftgiisn liie, which Mr. ‘Poole purcrays Witu a taleut akio Lo genius. lodeed, to estimate the artisiie value of these character sketcnes consideraole acquaintance with the orig- inal modeis 1s necessary, and we doubt that those who are unfaniinar with that timmeose humana hive we cali London Cap appreciate a. its exact Vaine tne quality of tne art which Mr. Tovie ex- bibl sin “Lhe Doages”’ and similar characteriza- tions. ifis make-up 1s in itsell a deligutful study of local character and coir. In Mark Lemon's Jarce, whicu was produced here for the first time, Mr. Loole piayed tue part of “Jono Grumiey,” a Tough, growling, discontented village Engiisn- mano. his type of the noble Briton is un- Teasonavie aua disgustingly selfish; not be- | cause he 18 disposed to be __prutal | or disagreeable, but ratner that in bis selfishness he 1s unconscious Of the Want oi heart ana sense he displays, The character isa difficult one to jortray Without descending to mere caricature. ut Mr. Toole plays the part earnesty, aud makes the bumor the more teiling by acting with 1ten- Sity und Seriousness in the Most absurd si:uations.
