AMENDMENT TO THE STATE
CONSTITUTION.

AT the approaching election for members of
Congress and Legislature, the people should
bear in mind that they are to decide at that
time whether or not they will clothe the Legs-
lature with the power 10 so amend the third
article Of the Alexandria Constitution as to
render eligible to office those persons who are
now forbidden by said article to hold Office.
The Constitution rendered ineligible to office
all persons who had held office under the Con-
federate or State government after the adop-
ton of the ordinance of secession
We are sure but little or no difference of
opinion can exist on this subject. As the
matter now stands a very large portion of the
citizens of the State are shut out from serving
the people in any official position, and unless
these acts are repealed, we shall continue to
be deprived Of the services of those who could
render valuable service to the State in the
trying times that are now upon us.

Now tha the war is over, the manager will
doubtless be enabled to engage the best talent
in the country, especially as the public are
willing to pay literally for this sort of amuse-
ment. 1t is said that none will be engaged
but those who have lost an arm or leg In the
late war. This is well enough in itself, only
it is feared, Judging from the practice OF the
past. that "bunkum" receives more encour-
agement than ability. The manager, contrary
to the expectation of his friends, commenced
the season with the popular farce of 'Loaf-
ing which has been so successful here tor the
past four years Mr.. Twenty Four-Dollar-a-
Week takes the character Of Do-Nothing, and
is ably supported by Messrs. Stupidity and lg-
