When Gov. Ashley went to M5n.ana,
after his confirmation as the Governor Of the
Territory, he was received with peculiar dis
tinction. 4 large delegation Of citizens pre-
scented him with the resolutions passed at an
indignation meeting held to express the pop
ular disapproval, on his accession TO the
governorshIp. This, if not encouraging, was
decidedly of a stimulatiye character, calcula-
ted to provoke a man to attemp; to build up
a better character, or recklesslV to throw
away what he already possessed. Happily
for Montana, Mr.. Ashley seems to have es-
saved the former, and satisfactory reports
are heard of his efforts to benefit the Terri
tory BY iudicious administration. 1t is re-
ported that his success IN bringing emigrauts
into the Territory, is beginning To produce
results of highly encouraging nature and
as it Is long time since anything has been
heard of the projected removal Of the Cover
nor, it may reasonably be concluded that, on
the whole, the Montanese are satisfied with
him.

There was little or no ground for hope
that the Republican ticket for Judges Of the
y. Y. Court of Appeals would be elected,
and the result of the election on Tuesday in
the Empire State will surprise no one. 1t
was clear, We might almost say conceded, that
the Republican nominees were superior to
the Democratic candidates, in intellect, legal
ability and personal character. but Tammany
has secured pretty thorough control of the
State Of New York. and the Tammany ticket
carried the day. The vote was light one,
and the only question is as TO which two Of
the Republican candidates are elected. As
the election was for seven Judges, while only
five could be voted for on one ticket, the two
highest on the minority ticket would in any
event be elected

The Constitutional Ccny en.ioR.

1t has been suggested as possible and even
probable, that the Constitutional Convention
Of our State NAV upon assembling incontl-
nentlv adjourn without further action This
would of course be the practical rejection OF
all Of the proposed amendments. We take
it for granted that no such course Will be
taken. The Convention will assemble with
some sense of the dignity and Importance OF
is work. and will 20 at it, We are safe IN
assuming. in a proper and dignifed way.
While it will, as We believe, vote to do away
with the Council Of Censors, it will not, we
trust, be willing to insult the late council by
any such summary treatment of It's PROPOSE
tons. That council, with all its faults, had
the decency and good sense to report an
amendment for the abolition Of the council
as a part Of the machinery of our State gov
eminent. This action gave it honorable dis
tinction from the two preceding councils
whose work amounted to nothing whatever
except "a bill of expense to the State, and 1t
should have due respect therefor.
What the action Of the Convention will be
on this point, cannot be predicted with abso-
lutte certainty but we notice that wherever
the delegates were instructed by the voters
in most eases the instructions included an
injunction TO vote for the Sixth Amendment,
while in no case has there been any contrary
instructions. And as many Of the leading
delegates are strongly opposed to the cont'n-
uance Of the council, there is little room for
doubt that that amendment will be adopted
The fourth article Of amendment Changing
the mode Of appointment Of the Judges it
j. perfectly plain will be rejected as of
course the fifth, for woman Suffrage, will
be. We can see no reason why the third
article, allowing the Legislature to provide
by law for filling vacancies in the Office Of
Senator or Town Representative should not
be adopted. The article which will occasion
mos; discussion, doubtless, viii be the one for
biennial sessions hut We see no reason for
believing that it will be adopted and some
good reasons for the belief that it better MT
be adopted We can see no need Of any ex-
tended session of the Convention.
