ILLINOIS.-That oblo journal, tho New
York World, indulges in some highly
eulogistic remarks apon the character
and career of that prosp?rons and grow:
ing State in the North-west-Illinois.
Illinois, it says, is the greatest marvel
of progresa and development in the his?
tory of'the world. Within the memory
of men still living, it was an expanse of
unbroken prairie, and now it is covered
with villages, houses and cities, with
schools and colleges, with farms and
factories, with railroads, and is still
marching bravely and steadily on in her
career of unexampled growth. Nor is
ehe behind in the matter of government.
AB the World says, Illinois has become
the brightest star in our political con?
stellation, by the boldness and wisdom
of its constitutional reforms." Among
the new features, many of them excel?
lent-introduced into its Constitution, is
that Ot IIINOIUTY or PBOPOUTIONAL P.BP
BBSEKTATION Its determination to make
this experiment, is enough of i Ut If to
stamp Illinoisalfs a commonwealth, saga?
cious and wide awake. As our readers
are aware, wa invest this principle with
great interest and are earnestly bent
upon drawing to it pub!io consideration
and public endorsement. It is necessa?
ry to tho life of free governments based
upon suffrage. It makes self-govern?
ment consistent with peaoe, security a Ad
liberty. ? It regulutes the strenm of uni?
versal suffrage. It puts a check^upou
the maddening torrent of the power of
the majority. It ohanges license into
liberty. It compresses and utilizes and
gives direction to vast energies. It
keeps the body politic together, aud
saves it from disintegration or decay or
death. It is a principle wuich ? tami s
to government os does the application of
steam, to industry. When steam was
chained, a work was done in the muterial
world not unlike that which will be con?
summated when proportional represen?
tation shall become part and purcel of
the governmental system. And Illinois
has won the honor of making a great ex?
periment. The PLAN adopted may not
be perfect. Doubtless, it is to be im?
proved npon. But a stop in the right
direction has been taken, and even now
are the laurels of honor due to the young
giant of the North-west.
On this subject, our cotemporary of
the New York World says:
"The Illinois s?beme of minority rep?
resentation, or more properly of cumu?
lative voting, has great value as an ex?
periment, and its progress will be watch?
ed with much interest. In each Senato?
rial district, three members are to be
chosen of the lower branch of the Legis?
lature; and the peculiarity of the soborne
is that each eleotor may distributo or
concentrate his three votes us he pleases.
He may give one vote each to three sepa?
rate candidates ia the old ordinary man?
ner; or he may give three votes to one
favorite candidate; or (whioh probably
would not often happen) he may give
two of his votes to one candidate and one
vote to another. There is au intrinsic
fairness ia allowing the elector this free
disposal of his votes, and it will lead in
many cases to a more equitable and pro?
portionate representation of the consti?
tuencies than prevails under the preseut
system. In every district where one of
the two political parties is in a cleur und
acknowledged miuority, it will givo that
minority one of the three representa?
tives, if its numbers are sufficient to en?
title) it to ono. But in districts where
the parties are pretty eveuly balanced,
the operation of the system is moro
doubtful, lu such districts each party
will nominate a full ticket, as neither will
be willing to make a public confession of
inferiority. If the tickets are weak, or
if there should be weak men on either,
it gives u great ohanae to one popular in?
dependent candidate, whose friends may
easily elect him by concentrating ail
their votes. The now system may thus
bring into the Legislature u few mem?
bers of uncommon ability and weight of
character, who can follow their honest
judgment untrammelled by party obli?
gations. If this should be one of ita
fruits, the experiment would be more
than vindicated. But there is danger
that in many balanced districts the ef?
fect would be very different. As u gen?
eral rule, two full tickets will probably
be nominated, and the friends of partic?
ular candidates will attempt to elect
them by betraying-tho other candidates
on tho same ticket. Nothing could have
a more debasing effect on our already
corrupt politics. With nil ita possibili?
ties of good aud of evil, wo hope tho ex?
periment will bo fairly tried; but we
.should be sorry to see it imitated in the
same form iu any other State until uftur
it has been fully tested in Illinois."
THE BAJJII MOVES ON-PENNSYLVANIA
RADIOAI?S POR MIKOIUTY liti'?tKSENTA
TION.-The example of Illinois and the
Bloomsburg success-Mr. Buckulew's
work-aro producing fruits. We notice
that a preliminary meeting of radical
parties was recently held in Philadel?
phia. The object was to further the
work of representativo reform. A num?
ber of intelligent mon advocated tho
minority principle. It waa resolved to
move in the matter. Thus men of both
politioal parties are coming to recognize
repr?sentation. Heaven speed the good
Work. The principio cornea to save the
republic and to link lijberty with peace
and jaetiq^ and solid power. It in uo
party meajpure. It risea above VARTY and
woos to ita adoption the spirit of a broad
and lofty PATRIOTISM.
?uiitrul IC c is li ii w' s I.rttcr.
We observe that General Kershaw,
having been assailed in the Bannet' of the
I South-Father Ryan's paper-replies in
defence of his own political position. To
those who know this gallant Carolinian
and high-toned gentleman, this defenco
is unnecessary. Gen. Kershaw'a devo?
tion to South Carolina and his fidelity to
what is good and true and right, should
piuco bim beyond the reproaoh which
! was oust upon him. We know that Gen.
Kershaw has no object in view, save the
good of the State and the prosperity of
tho people.
THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY AND THE
SUFFRAGE OF THE NEGRO.-The New
York World says :
"In tbe forward movement of the
great Democratic army, it seems to us
that the Democracy of New York aro iii
the van, and that tho patriotioDemocra?
cy of Kentucky linger in the extreme
rear and ref nae to march without a great
burden of camp-kettles strung upon
their shouldered muskets or inverted
upon the points of their flag staffs.
When the tilteenth amendment was de?
clared adopted, the Democracy of New
York ut once concluded that tho negro
question WHS, for any effective political
purpose, ut an end. Our D?mocratie
Legislature, thou iu sessiou, immediately
passed an Act repealing all tho Statt,
laws that discriminated against person?
of color; and wo carried the Stato elec
tiou which soon followed by au unprece?
dented majority. We felt some doubt
whether tho Democracy of other States
would immediately approve our course;
but there was no dissent amoug our?
selves, and we were willing to trust to
results for our vindication elsewhere.
We have since watched Democratic
movements in other Stutes with much
interest and some solicitude, to seo how
far they were likely to follow onr leud.
Except in Kentucky, we have found no?
thing but encouragement. The Demo?
cratic party of Ohio has since held a
State. Convention, and adopted a plat?
form iu which further oppositiou to
negro voting was silently withdrawn.
What is more important and Bigniiicsut,
the Democratic Senators and Represen?
tatives in Congress have recently held a
consultation, and issued au address, in
which not a word is said on the negro
question, and the party is counselled to
waste no effort on dead issues. The
great body of tho party is marching up
to the position taken by the Democracy
of New York, who lead tho advance,
with the siuglo exception of Kentucky.
"liven ia Kentucky, the Democracy
are by no means unanimous os to the ex?
pediency of re-baptizing themselves os a
'white man's party' and protracting a
bootless fight against the negro. By far
the ablest Democrat ie paper ia that Stale
aud one of the ablest iu the country, the
Courier-Journal, of Louisville, has stea?
dily protested against a hide-bound,
short-sighted policy, which, if the
whole party adopted it, could result in
nothing but continued defeat aud dis?
aster."
This Democracy, expounded by tho
World, is ours-liberal and progressive.

"UNION REFORM."
GENERAL HAMPTON AND TUB STATE
SURVIVORS' ASSOCIATION.-We would call
the general attention of the people of
the State to tho following circular of
General Hampton in reference to the
preservation of tho statistics of the late
war:
The State Survivors' Association de?
sires to collect, preserve and publish the
personal history of the troops furnished
by South Carob un to the Confederate
service. The Association desires first to
publish the names of all entitled to a
place upon that glorious roll, and next,
as far us possible, the history of each
and every one so enrolled.
Tuking np the work commenced by
Professor Rivers during the wur, the
Executive Committee propose to go on
with it-to obtain and perfect tho rolls
of companies, tho records of regiments
aud the history of brigades, for imme?
diate publication. Also to collect the
rolls of thc general and stall" depart?
ments, to wit: General officers, adjutant,
medical, quartermaster and commissary
departments, engineer aud sigual corps,
etc., etc'
The first step iu this work is to obtain
correct compfluy and staff rolls. Few it
muy be of the originals remain, but as
the companies were each formed in dis?
tinct neighborhoods, it is believed that
rolls very nearly correct can now bo
made by the survivors from memory, if
they will only seriously undertake the
work.
The Executive Committee of the State
ask that you will make out from the
original rolls, or from memory of your
comrade? and yourself, rolls of your com?
pany or staff department, upon the blunk
forms furnished herewith; and when
completed, transmit the same to Colonel
Edward McCrady, Jr., Chairman Exec?
utive Committee State Survivor's Asso?
ciation, at Charleston.
I appeal earnestly to all who were in
our service to co-operate with tho Asso?
ciation iu the object it has in view, as it
is a matter of great historical importance,
und should be oue of pride that tho name
of every man given by our State to the
Confederate sorvico should be enrolled
and preserved. Several of the Southern
States are now preparing similar rolls,
and it will bo a subject of emulation
among all to ascertain which of them
gave most freely to our cause.
If the information now Bought by the
Association is given generally by those
who arc able todo so, our State, it is be?
lieved, will show a record surpassed in
honor und brilliancy by none other.
Asking the cordial assistance of all
who desire to vindicate the honor, aud
to perpetuate the fame of our State.
I am, very respectfully,

TnE CENSUS.-This opportunity for
Government espionage is being fearfully
botched. From every sectiou of the
country, come complaints of the tardi?
ness und political bias of the appointees
to do this work. From present appear?
ances, the whole affair seems likely to be
run in the interest of the radical party,
and nothing will be allowed to be record?
ed which can possibly reflect upon that
immaculate organization.
A colored mau, named Ben, Johnson,

HENRY WARD BEECHER AND THE CON?
DUCTOR.-Tho following good story is
told of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher:
It seems Beecher bad observed the in
justice of obliging men to work on Sun
clays, and preached a sermon on it.
Next day, he entered into a conversation
with n oar driver, while riding to Fulton
Ferry, and asked him if he did not think
that some plan might be adopted to dis?
penso with the need of ruuning tho cars
all day Sunday. The driver being en?
tirely ignorant of the mime aud nature
of Iiis interrogative friend made a frauk
reply:
"Yes, sir; I think thero might. But
there's no hope of it so long as they
keep that tl-d Beecher theatre open iu
brooklyn. The cars have to ruu to ac?
commodate that."
It is hardly necessary to add that the
driver's remark was a "home thrust,"
and was considered so good that Beecher
told it himself.
A youug girl, wishing to commit sui
cide, threw herself into the Seine, from
which she was taken ont in nn insensible
state. Dr. Do Lannensar, of Berey, being
sent for, tried various means of restor?
ing her to consciousness, but without
success, uutil ho uudertook to produce
artificial respiration by breathing into
ker luuga. After two hours' work, bo
restored her, but barely had timo to re?
ceive ber tbunks, when he died of ex?
haustion.
The New Yorkers are groaning over
their treeless streets. Go where they
will about towu, there is au absence of,
trees and shade. lu order to remedy this
state of affairs, Rome of tho papers are
advising property-holders to plant in
front of their property such shade trees
UH will be a welcome ornament to the
city. Nothing gives a city a cooler
appearance tb pit***kr of sbado trees in
nil of tho streets.
A French shop-keeper recently gave it
in evidence before a committee on tb?
Anglo-French treaty, that thero is nu
market in Europe for English stockings.
The reason assigned was that the French
ladies aro so much more finely shaped
thau the English, that stockings made
for the one will not tit the other.
ETYMOLOGY. - "Why ure doctors culled
physicians, mamma?" suid a little inqui?
sitive girl to her mother, who had just
been visited by one of them. "Physi?
cians," replied mummil, who wns seldom
at a loss for an answer, "comes from
feescek, ns they ride about all day to seek
fees."
The servant-girl of the Mayor of In?
dianapolis lately took a fearful revenge
on him for scolding her. She loft bis
shirt bosoms and cuffs lim]) us cobweb,
and starched the lower extremities till
they resembled card-board.
