Constitutional Convention.
A Harrisburg correspondent write.
to the ChamberShur0 Renository.

"lhe most important measure that will be be-
foro the Legislature this winter will be the ques.
ton of calling Constitutional Convention
Your readers may rest assured that the move.
inent has Its enemies, who. by amendments to
any bill which may be proposed, and by use o
parliamentary tactics, will endeavor to defeat IT,
This opposition will not come from the people,
ing and advancing themselves by bribery and
frtud. ~ Will come from men who have de-
might obtain political preierment, and who
could only obtain IL in this way"
If those editors who oppose Consti-
tuticnal Convention because the project
has the misfortune to be favored by the
Philadelphia "Union League" will look
close into the subject they will find much
worse people on the other side. The
gross corruption of our Legislatures,
and of far to great proportion of the
voters themselves, can only be met and
defeated by so reconstructing the powers
of the Legislature that there will be no
room for corruption there in general
way, or as common thing. This point
once reached, Legislative positions will
no longer be sought by corrupt and We.
nal men, nor by demagogues and in
competents generally, but will come to
be filled by the very best and most
worthy men of the State. Then special
corruption will become impossible, and
embryo U. S. Senators and State Treas
urers must look to other means than
their pocket. books for success.
We take it for granted that if Con-
vention be called the delegates will be
elected under some plan that will rep
resent the great body of the people, and
that it will not be partisan in its char
acter, because but few questions aris-
ing before it, if any, will be such as are
at issue between political parties-and
we take it for granted, also, that each
amendment of Importance will be sub
mitted to a separate vote. This done,
no mischief can result.
The great object of Electoral reform
can only be fully reached by Conven-
tion, and this is sufficient reason for
it. Legislative corruption and incom-
potency can only he reached and crushed
by Convention that will give US COM
plete Electoral reform, and herein is
the overwhelming reason for Conven-
ton. All other arguments for or against
Convention sink into comparative in
Significance when confronted by this
great object, though many other re.
forms will be effected if wise councils
prevail.

On her departure from New York to

THE political complexion of the next

be as follows: Democratic, 1O9; Repub-

combined majority of the Democrats
and Revenue Reform Republicans is
23; enough to organize the House and

THE year now drawing to close has
been crowded with disaster. Frightful
explosions in mines, great floods atten-
dant with great loss of life and proper
ty, and disasters at sea without numbsr
mark the course of the year with their
sad monuments. Had the European
war not been inaugurated we should
have still had sufficient to make the
year ls70a famoustwelve-m among
the children of the century.

For THE LAST FEW YEARS the propric-
tors of the celebrated PLANTATION BIT
TIERS have been experimenting in the
growing of Calsaya Bark on the Island
Of Jamaica, and have found, from
actual tests, and by no means mean
experience, that this valuable bark can
be grown with marked success onl Y upon
the mountains from 1900 to 1000 feet
high. There the forests are often be
dewcd with the early mist, and this tree
arrives at its full perfection. Owing to
the largely increasing demand for the
bark required for the manufacture OF
quinine, and also for the use in the pre-
paration of PLANTATION BITTEEs, the
procuring Of it has been a source OF
great anxiety to the proprietors, and
seeing, as they did, that the South
American supply would soon give out,
took the above early precaution to fully
supply the demand, and, assisted and
encouraged as they are by the English
government, at Jamaica, we have have
not the least doubt but they will sue
coed.

committee OF Arrangements have spared
neither pains or expense to movidc
everything necessary to good order and

for the race; Jones rides Smiths mule,
Smith rides Brown and Brown Jones
Now as each of them is anxious that
his own mule should take the prize, OF
course Jones wallops Smiths mule,

make him get ahead and leave his own
behind. And here's where the laugh
comes in. II You have leisure hour
