poLIr1oAI EVENTS IN. JULY.

July is apt to be a hot month, and
fortunately political excitements are
not to be added. There is to be but
one election during the month, and the
list of political conventions is not
long. The election is in Illinois, and
some Of the papers refer to it as the
most important held in the State for
forty years. On Saturday last, July
I'd, the people voted upon the
adoption or rejection of the new Con-
stitution framed by the recent Conven-
ton after five months labor. This
instrument seems to be very generally
acceptable to the people, but there Is
reported to be a determined organiza-
ton of private interests to defeat it;
and it is feared that the general APP
proval, and the absence of open oppo-
sition, resulted in a light vote, in
which lies the only danger. The form
of the ticket adopted by the Conven-
ton Is as follows:
For all the propositions on this ticket which
arc not cancelled with ink or pencil, and against
all propositions which are so cancelled:
4. For the now Constitution.
2. For the sections relating to railroads in the
article entitled " Corporations"
s, For the article entitled Counties"
4 For the article entitled Warehouses.
S. For three-nths vote to remove county
seats.
s. For the section relating to the Illinois
Central Railroad tax.
I. For the section relating to minority repre-
sentation.
scriptions to railroad and private corporations.
9. For the section relating to the canal.

tied to vote for the adoption or rejec-
ton of the same. This, Of course, in
