The projected Convention to revise our State
Constitution has been voted down by about Thirty
Thousand majority. Had there been the least
concert or activity among its supporters-had even
brief, forcble Address been put forth, signed by
ten or fifteen prominent citizens OF diverse parties
stating why revision of our Constitution is desir-
able and what good ends might thereby be promot-
ed, We presume it would have been carried by at
least Fifty Thousand. But there was nothing said
in its favor except in three or four Journals, and
even printed votes in its behalf were not found at
some of the polls majority of the voters, hear
ing no reasons alleged for changing the Constitution
voted No, as was natural; 50 We fear the Reform is
postponed for six or eight years The advocates
OF Temperance, Equal Suffrage. speedy Justice,
and the Purity OF Elections, all have reason to
regret this vote,

Messrs Seward and lIammondN ex-GOyemors
Of New.York and South Carolina respectively, and
now Sepators of the United States, recently ad.
dressed portion Of their respective constituencies
in speeches, the former at Rome, n. T., the latter
at Barnwell S. G.. Both these speeches were re-
markaby able thoughtful independent, moderate
for Governor Iammond's, though specifically
apprehension Of tie doinss and designs of the Re.
pubEcans, was essentially and in purpose forcble
rebuke 10 the spirit of rapacity and aggression for
some years rampant at the South. Mr.. Hammond
is a Conservative in the legitimate sense OF the
term: that is, he is rich and comfortable, and does
not choose to risk and perhaps lose all he has in
wild hunt after possible aggrsndizement; he has
spacious and well-furnished homestead in South
Carolina, and is not disposed To risk it in vain
quest of similar plantations for shrtless raganuthas
in Central America; he owns about q thousand
well trained ana sorviceabe slaves, who would sell
at the least for Half Million; and he cannot per-
ceye his advantage in opening our ports TO the free
Importation of wild snd bsrbsrous Africans who
would be very likely to lead his bondmen into in-
surrection. and would az all events diminish their
market value by at least three. fourths. So Gov
Hammond takes ground against the purchase or
seizure Of Cubs, the protectorate OF Mexico,
the absorption of Central Americs-in short against
all the projects which give yitali.y to the Demo:
cratic parry especially in the South. Those schemes
may be lraught with promise for The aspiring, the
thrf,less, the pennile~s, tho negroless, who are
trying to foist them upon the Government and
thus upon the country; but they have no promise
for Gov. Hammond and men OF his means, and he
scouts them. Nay: he denounces the Nebraska
bill as delusion and snare for the slave-owners,
and declares that the Lecompton fraud ought TO
have been kicked out Of Congress BY the Sou.h-s
declaration which cOmpels much regret and some
wonder that statesman SO independent and frank
AS Gov. II. did not bear part in kicking it out,
instead of supporting it at every stsse, and only
denouncing it after il had been done 10 death b.
others. We eau barely hope that Gov. Hammond

Judge Russell is again ADM iistering justice
He has quashed the indictment against Charles
Devlin, Charles TVner and others, for conspiracy
to cheat, and for having cheated the City Treuug,

PENDANTS did cheat (Which We suppose he thinks

assumption the conspiracy he declares is thereby
swallowed up, and they can no longer be prosecuted
for it, but only for the actual chesting.

We have what appear to be the official returns
of the votes Cas-. ia all the Counties Of our STATE at
our late Election. The total vote for Governor
would seem to be distributed thus:
Morgan, Rcp....gi7,S.8 Parker, Dem .....2) .3il
Burrows. Am. 49,. 6O,978 Geirt Smith, Alb. 1888
Morgan over Parker ,18
The State canvass can vary this but few votes
We believe ali the candidates except Mr. Morgan
on the Republican State Ticket have fully 10000
msority-G Gerrit Smith having taken votes from
Morgan which were cast for all the other Repub
can candidates.
The aggregate vote is Unexpectedly large
544,7o0. Last year it was but 439,769. Increase,
1Ol, ,99l, or nearly 90 per cent. Very naturally,
the Republican minority of lo,O57 last year is con-
verted into Republican majority of nearly equal
amount this year.
