CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM.

"MssouRi State Convention to amend the
Const uton is to be held in Missouri in August next
Among the reforms which the st. Louis Republican
says are demanded by the people, are these
reform in the Constitution, so that representa-
ton shall be based upon population;
elimination of the power and patronage of the
Governor;
limitation Of the Judicial tenure, 40 that incom-
petent persons may at least, be turned out of Office
nj the end Of their terms
The election of all Judicial Officers by the People;
The protection Of the people in their property, so
that one shall not be made to bear greater burdens Of
taxation than another; ~ E.
The encouragement Of works of internal improve
ment and the support of education, by all means
within the power Of the State"
We find the above in one of our exchange
papers, and we take particular pleasure in er-
tending its circulation by copying it into our
paper. We rejoice to see another indication OF

CITY IMPROVES ENTs.

Amongst the many evidences of improvement,
upon the main street Of our city, we are informed
Of none at present aflording satisfaction than
the prospect of seeing, in a very short time, the
ruins Of the "Od Eagle" yielding to the enter.
prize Of citizens, in erecting four substantial
and ornamental buildings. We have ascertained,
with little pleasure, that the entire unoccupied
space, known as the Eagle lot, has been purchas.
ed by James Hobson, Esq, and Messrs. Brooks d
Hudson, who have already made their arrange.
meDts for building at an early day. Since the de.
struction of the old Eagle, @ or years ago, this
open space has, indeed, been vacuum in the very
heart of the Metropolis and it is really to be de.
sired that 1t should no longer be so.
This space, occupied by such buildings as are
to be put upon it, and the whole square known
as the Eagle Square, will have the appearance Of
n solid front Of granite. Mr.. Jno. Crane, on the
upper corner Of the square, is now giving another
satisfactory evidence Of his enterprise, by putting
IN a handsome granite front to his store.house.
Further down the street, and upon the opposite
side, large and elegant store house is rapidly
going up, belonging to Mr.. Jno. N. Gordon, who
is to occupy it as Grocery Store. Such improve.
ments speak well for our city, and only 90 to We.
rify, in part prediction made by some one, years
ago, that he expected some day to see the Main
street Of Richmond looking like an entire lane OF
granite monuments.
The improvements going on now in our city,
are, we trust, no less healthy than strikingly
agreeable.
