Proposed Amendments TO the State
-Woman's Suffrage.

The Council of Censors Of Vermont
have concluded their labors, and have
called State Convention, to be held on
the second Wednesday In June, 1870, to
act upon certain amendments to the
State Constitution, which they have
promulgated. These proposed amend.
ments forbid special legislation: pro-
vide for bieunial sessions of the LeeIs.
latnre, the State officers holding Office
for two years; provide for the appoint
ment OF the Judges OF the Supreme
Court by the Governor instead Of the
General Assembly, and extend their
term OF office TO six years, or III this
be rejected) that they shall be elected
biennially; abolish The Council OF Cen.
sors; and finally declare that thereafter
women shall be entitled to vote, and
with no other restrictions than the law
shall Impose on men, Abiding to the
work Of the Censors, the Burlington
Free Press says:
The amendments, II all should be
adopted by the Convention, would
make more extensive and radical
changes In the Constitution Of our
State than any or all before adopted
would, indeed, without doubt work i'm.
portant changes In our social Rs well as
political fabric.
On these amendments, under our
present undemocratic form OF adoption
or rejection. freemen OF the State can
not vote. The best, and all thew can
do, Is to select men whom they believe
they can trust 10 represent them In the
Convention, and by the vote OF such
representatives, one for a town, the
amendment will stand or fall. Hav.
Ing the constitutional power to call a
Convention Of such members and COM
position as they choose, the Council
took warning by the experiment Of the
Council OF fourteen years,aRo. The Con.
ventiou called at that time, having
been constituted on different basis
from the ancient one OF a delegate
from each town, did no business when
IT assembled except to declare itself
not properly constituted Conven-
ton, and to adjourn forthwith. The
late Council has avoided risk OF such
result, by calling Convention on the
old basis OF q delegate from each town.
The delegates will be elected at a spe-
ciaI election next May, and will meet
In June.
Without claiming any special insight
OF gun OF prophecy, we hazard q guess
that the amendments will be disposed
OF about In this wise:
The amendment forblddIng private
corporations will be likely 10 be reject.
ed, on the ground that the end sought
can be reached Just as well by ordinary
legislation, as by an amendment Of The
Constitution.
That for biennial sessions will be min
and tuck with the chances In favor Of
Its adoption.
That for change In the mode Of ap.
pointment Of the judges, we fear will
be rejected. Had 1t been confined to
lenEthening OF the term OF Office to six
years. 1t would probably have been
adopted; but the Convention will be
hardly ready, we fancy, TO take the se-
lection OF the judges from the General
Assembly and give 1t to the Governor.
That for abolishlng the Council we
cannot doubt will be adopted.
That for woman suffrage will be re-
jected.

BALTIMORE in her municipal election
Wednesday, afforded q striking illus.
tration Of an "ofT year In politics."
For several years under Democratic
control the municipal government Of
Baltimore has been very corrupt and
expensive-so much 30 that many Re.
publlcans believed enough Democrats
would cooperate this year to elect an
honest. Republican ticket, and good
deal OF effort was made to awaken an
interest In the election. The figures are
before Us and the general indifference
Of the people Of Baltimore Is shown by
the fact that out Of 1900 registered
voters nearly 5000 stayed at home.
The people there deserve very little
sympathy for their sufferings at the
hands Of the city hall ring. Less than
half the voters are allowed to control
the city government. levy the taxes and
squander the revenues. And In this
minority, OF course, are TO be found all
the rogues and barnacles. The people
OF Baltimore deserve to have their
municipal taxes doubled. We only
Wish they may.
It Is needless to add that upon this
light vote the Democracy carried the
city by over five thousand majority.
They don't stay away from the polls,
and where their party controls the
spoils they never vote for reform.

The Future OF Andrew johnson.
NASHVILLE, Oct. %.
There was quite an exciting discus
sion in the House, to-day, bearing on
the proposed Constitutional Conven-
ton. The point at Issue was an amend.
ment to the bill calling the Convention,
which provides that all citizens of the
State enfranchised and DISTINGUISHED,
shall be allowed 10 vote In the election
for delegates to the Convention. It was
participated In by quite number, and
continued until adjournment, without
any definite action being taken. There
Is little doubt that the amendment
Will be adopted by strict party
vote. The Radicals oppose 1t on the
alleged ground that 1t conflicts with the
present Franchise law, which Is claim.
ed to be part OF the Constitution Of the
State. The friends OF the amendment,
on the other hand, inslsted that even
allowing the Franchise law 10 be q
Constitutional provision, Its restrictions
could not be applied to the mere selec-
tlon Of delegates to Convention called
TO repeal said Franchise law. The
Convention will probably meet early
In December, although the day for the
election Of delegates has not yet besu.set
Andrew johnson has visited the
Legislature nearly every day, for q
week, and gossip 10 busy as to what Is
the DRIFT OF his movements. It Ia pretty
certain he will be the leading spirit OF
the coming Convention. It Ia said he 10
about to settle III Nashville, and will

MOLINE NOVELTY WORKS Ground has

maleabe iron foundry and bolt works to
which will, in due time, be added other
branches. The shops will be located south

The gentlemen composing the company are

tai to make the enterprise great success.
There is now consumed in the various pillow
and machine shops of Moline alone, a suh
cient amount of maleable iron to furnish q
very respectable start to foundry making
that specially. Add to this the bolts
used in the plow and other shops of that
town and Rock Island, (amounting to S75,-
600 or $4,000 per aunum) and this com

SCARCITY OF Coal IN DAyESpoRT.--The
Davenport Gazette in view of the biting
Goa, take chills at the inadequate supply of
COAL in that city. 1t says there is shorter
supply now then ever before at this season
of the year, which it attributes to the I'm
usual consumption by the steamboa.es.
The Gazette further says:
One popularity of this exigency in the
coal trade deserves mention. The prices
have not been advanced. Mr. Gable might
as well receive twenty-five and thirty cents
bushel for his coal as seventeen cents, for
he could get it. The owners of other coal
yards might raise theirs in proportion. In
Chicago, at such time, there ia no telling
the price to which coal would advance. And
yet the poor who have focked to the yard
by the hundred during the chilly weather Of
the past few days, are not turned away be.
cause they cannot pay advanced prices
They car buy now as chesply IS when the
yards are full of it.
We learn that the inability of the Coal Val.
ley Mining Company to furnish q greater
supply of coal, results from the coincidence
of cold weather and high water, which inter.
fere with working the mines.
II is, we believe, one of Mr., Cables fixed
rules not to advance the price of coal when
the supply is short or the demand great.
Neither are spectators allowed to buy and
hoard the coal for high prices when it is
scarce; it is only sold in using quantities to
those who need it. This is certainly graft.
fying feature of the coal trade to the poor
and is q remarkable peculiarly Of the so.
called coal monopoly.
