would proposo to reconstruct tho supromo
court to rcvorso Its decision. Thoy honor
tho judlclnrv too much to do that. Ho
sldcs, It Is nlmostcortnln that tiponnllsuch
political nucstlons, dopondlng upon tho
results of elections, tho judlclnry would
feol bound lo nccopt nnd follow thodoolnr
nllons of tho political powor. Congress
nnd tho rrccutivo thought tho supromo

as thoy uro declared, nor frnmo nn lssuo lo

nnd three-fourths nro rcnutrod to carry it.
Tho attempt to do so would renow tho ag-
uaiion 01 mo negro quostton in nnotnor
form, but could bring no practical result.
Hosidcs, all parties, north nnd south, aro
unwilling to opon that quostion. Tho ne

and negro sulTrago has bocomo a flxod fact,
a thing nccomplishod.
Third, tho only other posslblo modo is
tho military ono of using tho army to con
trol elections and to ch lingo tho constitu
tion. Kadlcnls liko Senator Morton might
consistently ndopt this modo, for thoy do
hesitate to put tno nrmy nbovotho consti

docldo elections; but no man who still
chorlshcs tho doctrinos of tho old domo-
crntic-ropublican shool of Jefferton and of
jacicson would uaro 10 uso tno standing
army for any such purposo. Besides, tho
attompt to tako away negro tuflVago by
forco would lead to a bloody itrugglo
probably to civil wur and without doing
nny good would Involvo creator evils than
now exist.
I should not hnvodwolt upon this tub-
Joct so long but for tho constant efforts of
our radical opponents to pincous inniniso
position and to chargo us with tho purposo
of dealing with tho constitution ns thoy
thomsolvc. havo dono, viz: to reconstruct
it by tho iword and to renow civil strife.

splendid marblo front fivo story building,
located at tho corner of Fifth nnd St.
Charles streets, by that widly known and
oxtensivo dry goods firm Messrs. Dndd,
llrown & Co., marks a now ora in tho pro-
cressivo movemont not only in tho dry
goods trndo of this city, but as showing
me expansion und solid growtn wniuu
each month and year so docidedly records
tho fact that St. Louis is a progressive
city, and moro can scarcely do a limit
Slucod to hor future greatness. Tho Dry
ooda businesof this city has received a
wondorfu I impulse witcin the past two
decades, for at that time it was, compara
tively speaking, in' its; infancy. Tbo lato
war wns a hlnileranco to its moro rapid
growth nnd expansion ; other cities, taking
udvantogo of our misfortunes, reaped im
rnuns ndvantuces for tho donrosslons and
dancers which ovorgbudowcu and partially
I urnlizcd our trndo and commorcoi but
tho struggle over, St. Louis morchats ,sot
earnestly nbout lo bring buck mo ..trado
naturally tributary to thorn, which had for
a timo beon diverted to other and more
uxpensivo sources, and now successfully,
thu great business interests of St. Louis
speaks to-day for thomsolvos. Tho con
fines or Alain strcot nave become too nar
row tor so immense and progressiva a
trade as that in dry goods, and the firm of
Jiossrs. jjouu, mown & ju., standing as
thoy do at tlio head of tho list in tho
front rank, havo long contemplated took'
ing nowor, moro convenient and coramo
uious quarters, -j.no spiondli storo now
occupied by them nt tho location nbovo
named, is ono of tho finest buildingi erect
ed in this city, is so central to business and
nrcsonts throughout both oxtornally.and
internally so many commanding attrac
tions, thut a few words concorninr both
tho firm nnd building nro deemed a jour-
iiuiisuu uuiy.
Tho llrm of Messrs. Dodd, llrown &
Co., was established in 18C5. and so suc
cessfully has thoir buslnoss been conducted
that tholr annual salos show figures
amounting to $3,000,000, and will un
doubtedly largely excood that sum when
tho business of tlio present year shall havo
been brought to a closo. Tho stock of
goods held by this firm is vory largo, com
prising uvory variety two wareiiousos,
besides tho fifth story of the new building,
bclns constantly ropleto with L'oods sub.
Jcct to moot any domand. This firm hold
un immonce stock of Indian goods com
prising blankots, cloths, prints, bond, etc.,
In all, tlio largest mock held by any one'
homo west of thq Mississippi. Tholr
trade lies in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Min
nesota, KansaB. Nohraska, North Texas,
in tho Indiun Territories, at well nit tn
somo oxtcnt In Montana, New Mexico and
norm Mississippi,
..Tho magnificent building now occupied
by this firm was erected for their uso by
tho Collies Kstnte, ul a cost of noarly $200.

stroot and 185 on St. Charles street. It Is
llvo stnrios In bight oxclusivo of tho base

beauty; ono of tho best ventilated and woll
lightod buildings In tbo city. Tho baso
mentoxtonds beyond tho aroa' of the build

broad sidewalks both on Fifth and St
Clmrlos streets. Tho basomont is tho rc

tho boiler room n room 10 feet wldo of
30 foot long, in which is localod ono of
Hoot's largo patent sectional boilors, mado
oxprossly for this houso. This boiler is to
heat tbo ontiro building, which Itiscapablo
of doing In overy part, carrying tho steam
through plpjs to numerous hoators and
registers on all tho floors except the two
upper Etortea. Klurn pipes rcconvoy tho
condonscd steam back to cistern localod
near tho boiler. It Is enough to say that
tho bcntlng npparnlus throughout is por
feet, nnd so easily conlrolod that any tern
poraturo dcslrcdjcan bo obtained. Tho
boiler also runs two of Millars palont on
gjnes, ono used oxpessly for hoisting goods
to tbo. upper floors of tuo building, nnd tho
other to oporato an clogant passenger ele

customers who must necossarially pass
mnny times por-day from floor to floor.
In tlm Imminent Is also located a Uro proof

an l(f m 1 of v Intdroit, 1' that .tho eleva

' On tho flnt floor we c'nUr tho building

In tho city. Iloro aro arrangod on ono

ganceand tasto npproprlato to tho othor
surroundings. Tills room in lighted at
night by tho gass jets from twonty-four
cbandolfcrs. and is heated by fifteen marble-topped
heaters, arranged In different
parts ol tho room. Tbo ceiling is lofty,
and tho natural light pourB in from many
oxponsivo Fronoh plato-glass windows.
Tho display of goods on this floor compriio
a largo and complcto assortment , of domos
tics, calicoes and dross goods.
On the mcond floor wc find r.nolhor
equally spacious, well lighted and woll
vABtllaled room, which is set apart for tho
display of piece goods and shawls, and nn
finer assortment, it is safe to say, can be
found la any establishment in tho 'West.
It is reaohed by two broad and easy
flight of stops, or which, to the tired eunto-
mor, will be tho oftencst preferred, by the
olo valor. Every thing on this floor is ar
rangod In tho most excellent order, and
qvory available part li easy of access.
Wo ascend from this to the third floor.
and And a spacious room oqunlly largo
with' tbo others, which is set apart for no
tion Roods, endless In profusion and vari

the notion lino. Thoro is also on this floor
a well arranged office for the use of tho
superintendent of this department, from
wmcn ne can command a view oi every
part of the room.

where is arringed on every side bozos and
bundles, of hosiery, eadlosa in description
and all colorsmake arid sizes. The room
Is tho same in 'dimensions as the othors,
oxcopt that the colling is somewhat lower,
dui ii is, nevermeiesi, a room moil admir
ably adapted to tho purpose for which it is
set apart, and is one of tho most Important
adjuncts of this largo and welt regulated
establishment..
On tho fifth and last floor' we cnoounter
a vast storago room, which has a capacity
for tho storago cf 2,000 packages, say at an
avorago wolght of 300 pounds each. 'Hero
are kept hundreds of packages of unopen
ed goods ready to supply any wants that
may bo needed in any of tho departments
below. '
The great weight resting upon this floor
at all times will nocosiarlly impress tho
reader that tho building must bo of great
strength. Each floor, from tho b ement
upwards, is supported bymasslve Iron col
umns, and in this respect It is safe to say
that no otherjbullding In tho city is moro
secure
With oxtended premises, and greatly on-
largod lacinticB ror transacting Business,
tho firm of Dodd, llrown & Co., enter, as
it wore, upon a new career. They have
mado tho initial movemont which will lead
to tho removal, sooner or later, of other
large and old established firms now locatod
on Main street, to splendid stores to bo
erected along tho lino of Fifth streot, along
Washington avenue, on Sixth street, and
so on up town. A few yean later and the
localities named will have experienced
many groat and wonderful changos; prop
erty will have largely advanced in value:
the ruins of the once famed Lindoll will
havo been swept away, and long rows of
stately and ologant stores will take tho
places of sites now impoverished by time
dofacod buildings and sheds, which occupy
ground horcaftor to bo dedicated to tno

growing and expanding citv. Seeing ab
cloarly Into tho .commercial fuluro of
St.- .Louis as ono can see horown fuco re
flected from tho mirror, it is for this roason
that we said in the beginning of this arti
