Constitutional Convention,

The election last Tuesday for men,
bers of the Constitutional Convention
called out but small vote, not more
than a sixth of the legal voters of the
state, but the result in choice of del
egates is all that could have been de-
sired. We think it will prove intel.
lectually the finest body of men Yer.
mont has ever chosen. We have but
few returns thus far, but in that few
we are pleased to note the names of
many strong men, such as Nichols of
Mortified, Walton of Montpelier,
Rounds of Chester, Fletcher of Cav
en- dish, Dillingham; of Waterbury,
Phelps of Burlington, Bingham Of
Stowe. In the list are two ex-gover-
nors, an ex-member Of congress, sew
eral editors. and host of minister's
enough to turn the convention into an
ecclesiastical council if they so desire.
This election shows another thing
quite plainly, and that is that Yer
mont is hardly prepared for female
suffrage the vote for that measure
presents most forlorn appearance;
we don't believe there were a thou
sand votes for all the candidates ia
vorable to it, while we have not heard
Of the election OF one delegate. We
apprehend this is the last we shall
hear OF the question in this state for
some time. When the women want
to vote their husbands will let them,
and will shower upon them all the
rights they ask for:
