Publisher Cabinet making seems to be the order of tho day in Europe. A cab inet crisis in Madrid last Monday vraa followed by a cabinet crisis in Versailles Saturday. Serrano bad hardly reconstructed bis rickety cabinet when McMabon was called upon to go Into the cabinet-making business. Tiie prospective removal of Gen eral Military Headquarters from Washington to St. Louis, has stirred up a hornet's nest among the jour nalistic fraternity id the National CapitoL It seems to us, however, that General Sherman is doing the country groat service by removing his headquarters from the putrid and corrupting .surroundings of the paving rings, bank rings, railroad rings and public plunder rings. The most encouraging evidences of Nebraska's future prosperity will be found in the .Bee's Nebraska crop notes. Never were prospects for a baunteous harvest brighter or more promising. Our crop notes embrace nearly every county in the State, and the cheering intelligence comes from cverj' quarter that "the grain and fruit prospect never looked better;" Should these anticipations be real ized, the wheat crop of 1874 alone will not fall short of twelve million bushels. At ninety cents per bushel the income from this source alone would realize to the farmers of Ne braska, over ten million dollars. This would solve the curreucy prob lem even without the aid of Congress. Tho Lieutenant-Governor shall be President of .-the Senate, and may vote when the Senate is equally divided, but not upon a question re lating to a bill in any stage thereof, nor upon a joint resolution, requir ing the vote of a majority of the members elected to the Senate, nor in a contested election of a member of the Senate, nor in the election of a Senator in Congress. The Senate shall choose a President iro m pore, who will serve during its pleasure. He shall preside when the Lieutenant-Governor is absent or impeached, or acting as Governor. Three important propositions are submitted separately, namely, mi nority, representation, traffic in in toxicating liquors and railroad aid. The latter article reads as follows: The General Assembly may, by general laws, authorize any town ship, city or incorporated village to aid any railroad company in the construction of its road, within this State, subject to the following re strictions, and such others as may be prescribed by law. Nosultscriptionloan or contribu tion for such purpose shall be made unlessauthorized at an election held in pursuance of law, ky at least two-thirds of all the electors of such township, city or -village, to be as certained in such manner as may be prescribed bj- law, and sub ject to the further conditions of Section 4 of Article 11, when appli cable. Nor shall such aid be gran ted until the township, city or vil lage granting the same shall have adequate security that the road so aided will be completed. At such election, no person shall vote who shall not have resided In the town ship, city or .village for bIx months prior thereto. No such election U shall beld until the part of the road upon which the expenditure is to be made has been located and estab lished nor oftener than once a year, nor shall aid bo voted to more than one railroad at any election. The order for election shall specify all the conditions of such loan, subscription, or contribu tion, tho consideration proposed to be given therefor, the estimated cost of the proposed work, tho means for its completion, and the part of the work on which the proposed subscription, loan, or contribution is to be expended. Provision may be made 03 law for tho Issue of stock or bonds for the amount of any such subscription or loan ; but no town ship, city, or village shall be liable for the debts of the company. Tho obligations of a township, city, or village, in curred for such purpose, shall not bear greater interest than seven per cent, per annum, nor shall the ag gregate thereof at any time exceed live per centum of the value of the property of such township, city, or village, as aspprtajned by the late tax duplicate. The aggregato of tho tax levied by a township, city, or village, to pay such obligations and interest, shall In no year exceed one per centum of such value." STATE JOTTINGS.

The Ohio Constitutional Conven tion, has at List closed its labors. Tho result of its dclilwrations is to be submitted for ratification to the people, on the 18th of August next The actual time consumed by this c-mvention in discussing and fram ing the provisions contained in the new constitution, was one hundred and eighty-eight days. Inasmuch as this document is the embodiment of tho most modern views upon popular self-government, it will doubtless serve as a model to the coming Constitutional Convention of Nebraska. A few- of its most striking points may therefore, not be without interest to that portion of our readers, who are sufferers from what might be called constitution on the brain. The legislative article makes every person interested in a con tract with an unadjusted claim against tho State, ineligible to membership in the Legislature. It gives qualified veto power to the Govenor, which may be overruled by a three-fifths vote in each house, Instead of two-thirds or three fourths, as has heretofore been cus tomary. Jt provides that on tho passage of appropraition bills, or on concurring in the amendments thereto, "a separate vote on any item or items therein shall, on de mand of any member, be had by yeas and nays, entered on the jour nal; and every such item failing to receive the vote of the requisite ma jority of tho members elected to tbe Houe hi which the bill is pending, shall be stricken therefrom, and each item receiving such majority shall be declared passed." The section governing general laws reads as follows : All laws of a general nature shall have a uniform operation through out tho State. No act or part of an act, except such as relates to public schools, public buildings, or public bridges shall be passed to take effect upon a vote of the people to be af fected thereby, or upon the approval of any otheruuthority than the Gen eral Assembly, except as otherwise provided in this Constitution; nor shall any act be passed conferring special powers or privileges upon any county, township, city, village, or other municipality, not conferred upon all counties, townships, cities, villages, and municipalities of the same general class. Tho executive article contains tho following striking features : In case of the death, impeach ment, resignation, removal, or di abilityof the Governor, the powers . and duties of the office, for the resi due of term, or until he shall be ac quitted, or the disability "removed, &hall devolvo upon the Lieutenant Governor The General Assemblv shall provide by law for the case of impeachment, "removal, death, resig nation, or disability of both Gov ernor and Lieutenant-Governor, de claring what officer shall act as Gov ernor until the disability be re moved, or a Governor elected and qualified.
