CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
MONTPELIER. Jan. S. 1919


General Kellogg of Rockingham was
chosen President of the convention 10 amond
the constitution yesterday afternoon by q
majority Of l6 votes. Gen. X. received l21
votes, Governor Jennison 1O3, and there
we're two scattering. Mr.. Mars.on Of tho
Patriot, the delegate from this town, was
elected Secretary, and Bradley Barlow Of
Fairfield, assistant Secretary. All these gem
,lemen are Loco Focos, as you are well
aware, and it is a somewhat singular fast
that the constitutional convention which met
here seven years ago, contained just about
the same Loco majority, as appears from
their vote for President and other offieers.-
1t is now pretty well settled that none Of
the proposed amendments will be adopted.
1t is understood here tina, the Loeos have
voted in caucus to oppose every amendment
without discrimination. The convention
will probably adjourn about the middle Of
next week, and will endea7or to make ysu
acquainted with the result Of their delbera-
tons in season for your paper. The Locss
are t. have a convention here to day, and it
is the prevailing opinion that General ksl-
logg will be their next candidate for Govsx-
nor will write again tomorrow.
MONTPELIER, VI Wednesday II o'clock M
January II ls43.
The proceedings of the constitutional
convention may be communicated to you in
very few words. They have passed upon
all The amendment, proposed by the Council
o: Ccnsors, except the last, which is now tho
subject of discussion, and, thus far, they
lave all been rejected, and most of them
with great unanimity. The Jftlh and serenth
were, however, advocated with grea, ability,
and the vote on adopting them was very
large. The fifth amendment, YOU will rec
olect, proposed to give the election of Sher-
ifs and High Bailitls to the People Of the
respective counties, instead Of the Legsla-
ture, and the vote, on its adoption, stood
ayes l0l, nays 1923. The object of the
seventh amendment was to restrict the NUM-
Der Of justices of the Peace and confer the
power of appointing them upon the people
of the several towns. The vote on this
amendment was ayes los, nays 1l6. The
others were amos, unanimously rejected
The vote on the tenth and last amendment
will undoubtedly be taken this afternoon
and it will follow in the footsteps of its illus.
trous predocessors-,hough it deserves .
better fate, for 1t proposes to submit all fu-
turc amendments Of the Constitution direct.
ly TO the people themselves. But it will
unquestionably be rejected by very deci-
sive vote, notwithstanding the large Demo
cratic" majority in the convention. I'M
derstand a vote was taken this morning to
adjourn -morrow,-and the business Of
the convention, therefore, will probably DO
completed to day. We have had very mel
ting weather here for three or four days
past, and our snow has mostly been takea
by storm. l will give you more minute
account of the proceedings of the Conven-
ton after the adjournment. ETHAN.

will be absorbed in the course of a
