The adoption of the Constitation of 1821 roauliod in giving a long lease of power tothe Demooratie perty of New York. It enlarged abol shed the old Council of Ap puintiven! and inevocased the patrona; of the Governor and Sennte, At tho first elec tion under it Judgo Yarus, @ moderate Democrat, wes chosen Governor, and every vat in the Senate was filed by a person of the same political faith. The consequence was, that the 1iass of the new appointees throughout the State were Domocrats. It is trae that two years afterward, beenus: the inexeasable blunder of removing Dr Chinon from the office of Canal Commis. sioner, that eminent statesman was elected Governor, and by a subsequent election re- mained in the executive chair till his death in February, 1828; yet, all through this period, the Seoate was agoinst him, and the Assembly, with the exception of two sessions, also remained Democratic. The farfiwacd Albany Regency was the legitimate offspring: of this Constitution. "That powerful orgauization, which vo long rwed the Democracy and controlled the poli- tics of New York, enabled ANDREW JACK BON to reach the Presidency, and made Man. gin VAN Buren his sucecssor, Nor did its Influence cease to be felt in the remotest parte of the Union until long after the over throw of its central figure in the Hard Cide campaign of 1540; for it insured the elve tion of PoLk in 1544, effected the defeat of Cass in 184%, and showed its hand in the Administration of Prenes, whose counsellor, Wit L. Mancy, hi trained in the Albany school of politic The Constitution now peading before the poople is, in the particulars we have noted, analogous to that of is2t, It abolishes the Canal Board and the Contract Boant, and the offices of Canal Commissioner and Canal Appraiser, and creates in their stead the of ficos of Superintendent of Public Works and four Assistant Superintendents, who are to have the entire charge of who are to be appointed by the Governor with =the of the Senate, and may be suspended or removed from ofliee by him, This will give the Governor a control ling induence over the canals, which, with their vast patronage and rovenue always been a fruitful source of power in the State The new Constitution creates a Court of Claims, to be composed of three Judges, with a Bolicitor, who is to protect the interests of the Btate, ‘This tribunal is to adjudicate upon all those demands upon the State for ages, or compeneation of any kind, which are now such prolific causes of contention aud corruption Lefore sundry Boards and iy the halls of the Legislature. ‘These otficors are to be appointed by the Governor, with the consent of ile Senate, and the Heitor is subject to removal Ly him The new Constitution abe Btate Prison Inspector, and substitutes there for a Board of Managers of Prisons to cou- sist of five persons. ‘This Board is net only to have entire control of our State Pr sous, but also large powers over county jails, local penitentiarics, and other penal and reforma. tory institutions, with the power to ap; pumerous suboriinate officers, The Managers ure to be appolnted by the Gov ernor with tlhe consent of the Senate, and may be removed from ofllee by him. The new Constitution ercates five sioners of Appeals, to aid in disposing of the business now stagnating in the Court of Ayr f. h ° the canals, and consent have political five tommis- hes the office of time, asthe terms of the elected Judges ex pre, the to appoint, with the t nate, al) the Judiea) officers t tie f the 1 {2% stitution ) Eveon forme ot | a under the ¢ J rh we have epecified ar | tant of the new powers whieh it is proposed } to confer upon the Governor by the Conati- tudon now ponding for aloption or rejec- | tion. ‘ow, it ean hardly be doubted that if this stitution f* adopted this fall, and if { | Governor Horraan shall wisely use tho | preat authority in the bestowal of official | patronare with which it will elothe him, it wll fntreueh the Demoeratio party in a position from which ft will be very diff | cull to dislodge it for many years, anlors it | should be guilty of some gross proseription, | or should perpetrate rome egrogious folly in respect to the next Presidential eleetion.

It ia paid to be the most suc cessfal fair ever held in this couutry, All the merit of its suecess is duc to the Hon, Honace Giteney, the President of tho In- stitute, —_ Why not Exchange Bonds Direotly for Goldt Lis doing a wis thing in ing up the public debt with the surplus fands of the Treasury, but he is doing it in aclumay and roundabout manner, Ile first advertises for purchasers of his gold, receives their Lids, opens them and makes his awards, and then reecives the currency offered. Next he turns round and advertises for sellers of bonds, receives thoir bids, opens them and makes his awands, and then pays out the Mr. Boutwe samo currency which he has just re ived for his gold, He might avoid one-half of all this labor and trouble by a very simple expedient. Let him adver. tise for proposals to sell bonds for gold directly, and hand over, at one operation, the gold he is now selling in exchango for the bonds he is baying and have done with it. He would thus save time, clerk hire, and comn ssions, aud the real result of his trans- actions would be renlered intelligible to the public, For example: $1,000 in gold equal $1, 833} in currency, or thereabouts. Conse- quently, $900 in gold equal $1,200 in cur. rency. As the affair is now manayrod, the Socrotary first sells $000 in gold tor $1,200 in currency, and then pays out the same $1,200 for a $1,000 bond. If he simply paid the $900 old for the bond in the first instance, precisely the same result would be arrived at, and the public would seo that the bonds were worth 90 per cent. of their par value in gold. ‘To be sure, there would be one chance less for tho Wall stroot speculators, but {hey have no friends, and deserve no sympathy. Let the reform he made by all means, : east Ms ahi Protection for Coal Miners. ‘Two hundred lives is a costly price to pay for the lesson, and it is to be hoped that the peoplo of Pennsylvania will learn from the Avondale disaster that neither the owners of coal mines por the miners themselves can be depended on for protection against the per ly inseparable from this most useful branch of industry. Tt seems to be quite certain that the Avon- dale mine ought to have had two shafis in stead of one; that the buildings about the mouth of that one shaft should have been fireproof, instead of being mere kindling wood ; and that better means of ventilation should have been provided. Yet, until a law is passed compelling these precautions to be taken, they will probably be neglected, in spite of the recent ternble warning, all through the mining district, and many more losses of life such as we are now deploring will occur, ‘ Last winter the subject was, indecd, brought up before the Pennsylvania Le gisla- ture, Mr. Ranpatt, of Schuylkill county, presonted to the Senate a petition for a law compelling the moro perfect ventilation of mines, and a bill for the purpose, applicable to Schuylkill county only, passed the House later in the session, When this bill reached the Sentate it was violently opposed by the ropresentatives of other mining counties, and through their efforts all amendments to it providing for the extension of its pro- visions beyond Schuylkill county were de. foated. Binally, the bill passed, but in a manner which leaves doubt of its validity as a law, and at all events the rest of the State is unaflected by it, Whether another ses: will witness a similar result depends upon the heartlessness of Pennsylvania poliiciaus. —— Some Atouement, The President of the United States hos made such atonement as was in his power for his unhappy failure to reach the death- bed of the late Secretary of War before his decease, by subseribing $1,000 for the benefit f Mrs, Rawiins and her children, Even if somebody else should pay this subseription, the moral effect of it as an examplo to others wall not be lost. This is not 80 large an amount as that which was published as Gen, Giant's sub scription to the Foundry Church at Wash ngton, But in that case we understand it was the proceeds of the exhibition of the ox “Gen, Grant,” and not the President of the United States, that furnished the subscrip tion. in eS Ha secret society in Ku-Klux Klan, and de ting and wvurder 'The existence South, known as to pers and black, has been asserted iv inany quarters the ned white g Union mon during the last three yeers, but has been as con stuntly denied.

Fosven, of tho Engineer Corps, has been doing some work in Bostou harbor which is of great interest to all those who are wai ng pas tieotly for the rocks at Hell Gate to be cleared away, There were two large rocks in the main entrance to that harbor, di. rectly in the way of vessels, which did » great of damage, One of them was 16 feet below the surface at low water, the other 18Sy feet. One was 50 feet long and 26 wide, the other 110 feet long and 80 feet wide.
