A Constitutional Convention.

The passage of the FLICK amendment
by the Legislature renders more impera-
tive than ever the calling Of Constitu-
tional Convention. Besides its failure
to reach all, or even a tenth, OF the
changes necessary in the State constitu-
ton, the validity OF the. FLICK amend
ment itself is very questionable indeed;
and should no convention be held, and
the State courts remain constituted as
they are, there can be little doubt thatthe
amendment would be held invalid, ana
the disfranchised citizens Of the State
would find themselves in precisely the
same position they occupied be-
fore the last election, and before the
present Legislature assembled Inc
failure TO have the amendment puollshea
as required by the constitution would
be rightly held to be a fatal defect:
If the Legislature should stop now
and make no provision for calling a
Constitutional Convention, it will have
accomplished precisely nothing towards
the great work Of enfranchisement 1t
set out to do. 1t will have thrown
away all the substantial fruits OF the
popular victory achieved last fall, and
remanded 10 hopeless servitude the peo-
ple of the State who were beginning to
feel free. No other chance for enfran-
cbisement will ever be permitted, no
other opportunity for reform will ever
be vouchsafed.
The Democratic members OF the
Senate who saw that the only hope OF
securing a Constitutional Convention
lawn the withdrawal Of their OPPOSE
ton to the submission OF the FLICK
amendment, may well be excused tor
concediug nudity for the sake OF a
substantial good. The Democratic
members Of the, House of Dele
gates were equally justified In
continuing their opposition to a
measure which can have no good effect
so long as they did not thereby endanser
the success OF that which is OF vital
importance. The main thing is the
convention. 1t is the only practical
and feasible plan of accomplishing the
desired results. 1t is demanded and
expected by The people, and the Legis'
lature will be signally faitbless to the
trust reposed in it and neglectful of the
duty with which it has been charged, if
it fails to permit all the people of the
State to vote upon the question. Let
the FLICK amendment 60. The people
will take care that it is not permitted to
do any harm. But there will be ten
Democratic votes in favor Of a consen-
ton to one for the ratification OF the
FLICK amendment.
Let us have a liberal election law.
Abolish test oaths, those rotten relics OF
Radicalism; abolish arbitrary dis
Embellishments and give every freeman
in the State a chance to express his
will; and the Constitutional Convention
will be called by such an overwhelming
majority as will effectually silence all
who affect 10 think that the FLICK
amendment is enough and ell that is
needed in the way of reform. The
amendment is nothing-let us have a
convention, and thus obtain realiza-
ton of the popular hope.

fits of the road would inure to Bridge
port, seems to us not well taken. All
we want, for the present. at least, Is to
have the road terminate on Wheeling
Island, and to accomplish this the
Back river" may be easily and cheap
ly bridged. Those who are interested
in making a through route without
change Of cars, will bridge the 'inafh
channel Of the river soon enough
possibly too soon for those who DO not
desire to make Wheeling mere way
station on the road. Our idea Is that
the road is to terminate here, ahG
that whatever goes beyond this city must
break bulk and be transferred. Lei u'
provide for bringing trade l"'o
the CITY and sending our products out
not simply for a straight passage
or past Wheeling Of the bust
ness OF the road. The time will prob
ably come when either the Pennsyl-
yania Central or the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company will undertake
the work of building a bridge to con.
meet Wheeling Island with the eastern
shore, but we cannot see that the city OF
is much interested in that
bridge, or should make its construction
the first step toward the Wheeling and
Toledo road. In our view the longer it
is delayed the better.
We trust that "the Railroad Com
mittee," appointed by the meeting will
not permit public interest in the matter
to flag. We must act at once in order
to secure the location we desire.

tiatboat, and who made their escape on
the approach of the officers" 1t appears
this was done with the design of relieving
the neighborhood of water, the parties
seeming to think that by letting the flood
into the city they would have a chance to
keep dry themselves. The break was inn
mediately put under inspection.
A report was sent from Thomas Flana-
gan, captain of the harbor police, that a
break had occurred at the intersection of
the GENTLY road with the Marigny canal.
The crevasse in the banks was at that time
about five feet in width. The people about
to be overlooked were willing to work, but
they had no materials. Workmen were soon
busy at this point. Shortly after news came
from Captain Raj, of the fifth precinct, that
there was no other overflow reported in
this precinct besides the one at the inter
section of Poland street with the Claiborne
canal" Matters. however, were looking
badly, and a flood was hourly expected in
that neighborhood.

blows.
