If there were no other reason for the
call Of Constitutional Convention, the
enforced subserviency Of the Circuit
Judges of the State to the will Of the
Legislature affords of itself sufficient
cause for the remodeling OF the Consti-
tuition. There can be no such thing as
judicial independence under onr present
Constitution. People have sometimes
wondered how certain judges in West
Virginia could pervert the laws to secure
a party advantage as has heretofore
been frequently done. The truth is,
they were compelled to do so in order
to retain their official positions. The
Radical party in the Legislature held
over the heads Of the judges standing
threat of impeachment if they dared to
render decision adverse to the party
will. A mere majority in the Leglsla-
ture can remove from office any judge
in the State. The same vote that passes
the most Insignificant bill can strike
down any judge who has given offense
to or who stands in the way of the
dominant party of the hour We chal-
lenge any opponent of the Convention
to offer q word of excuse for this pro-
vision Of our present Constitution or to
deny that it should be Immediately
changed.

1T IS WORTH TRYING.

The opponents of a Constitutional
Convention in this State desire the peo-
pie to abandon all hope of improve.
ments they really need, for fear that the
Constitution may be altered in way
they do not desire. Upon this princi-
pie, man shonld not attempt to buy
flour which is imperatively demanded
by his starving family, lest when he
goes to the store he may be prevailed
upon to purchase salt instead. If the
people send delegates to Convention
pledged to make only those amendments
which we all desire, there is no reason
to fear that anything will be done con-
trary TO the popular will. If, however,
the Convention should make such a
Constitution as would fail to meet IT,
approval Of the voters OF the State, we are
not bound to accept it. 1t may be reject
ed in toto,or, as will probably be the case,
the provisions that are likely to encoun-
ter the most opposition may be submitted
to aseparate vote and thus tie good re-
tanned and the bad thrown away.
In. all the dread apprehensions set
forth by the Radicals concerning the
possible provisions of the new constitu-
ton as it comes from the hands of the
convention, there is no good reason why
convention should not be called 1t is
not denied that the Constitution needs
amendment in many important particu-
lars. 1t is not denied that the interests
of the State would be promoted and the
wish of almost the entire people graft
fed by abandoning the township sys

groes and counting them in the basis of

ity, as has beer done under our present
organic law. The mUst Radical anti.
convention man in the State is willing
to admit that these changes should be |
made. Then why not call Convection
and make such a Constitution as the |
State needs and the people desire? The |
voters will have in their own hands the
power to accept or reject the work when |
it is done. Not single provision can
be epgrafted upon the Constitution that
fails to meet the approval of those to
b. governed BY it.

How We Used to be Physick ed

Who does not remember the time when
spring purgation was considered indispens-
able to summer health? Nomatter for wry
faces, the inevitable salts and SIENNA, rhu-
barb, or calomel and jalap, must be admin
istered. These "spring medicines" the
youngsters were told, were to keep them
hale and hearty during the summer. We
all know now that this was a falacy; that
new vigor, not depletion, is what is re-
quired at the commencement of the sum-
mer solstice AS preparation for the
enervatlng effects of oppressive summer
weather, a course OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is nightly expedient. This famous
vegetable preparation has three prominent
properties: It renovates, purifies and reg
ulates all the functions of The body. 1t is
composed exclusively of pure vegetable
productions, viz: the essential principle of
Monongahela Rye, and the most efficacious
known to medical botanists. Hence, it is
an absolutely safe medicine. and no tinct-
ure Of the PharmacopPia can compare with
ii either in purify, or in the variety of its
objects, and It's comprehensive results.
Happily for mankind, the theory that 1t
was necessary to PROSTATE patient in order
to cure him. is forever exploded, and the
true philosophical doctrine, that vigor Is
the great antagonist of disease, has taken
its place. Hostetter's Bitters is an invigo-
rant, and hence 1t is the proper medicine
for the feeble at this most trying season OF
the year.
Be sure that you obtain the genuine arti-
Gle, as there are innumerable vile imita-
tons in the market. Look to the ornament
tai stamp, the engraved label, and the name
blown into the glass. Hostetter's Stomach
Btters is sold in bottles only.

The American Bible Society has en-
tered upon the fifty-sixth (56) year of
its labors with increased enthusiasm,
and with an enlarged field inviting its
efforts. The whole worlds become the
arena Of its benevolence, and many ma
tons, hitherto unenlightened, are be-
ginning to read in their own tongue the
precious proclamation OF love and sal

own State will, this year, make nobler
effort to do her part in these labors than
has been made in any previous year
Owing to the protracted illness and
death of nv predecessor, Rev. J. L.
Irwin, some delay in the regular work
of distributing the Bible has occurred,
but, with the sympathy and co-opera-

and the prayers and material aid of all
Christian men and women in our State,

"By gratuitous intermeddling in State
politics" says the Radical Springfield
Republican, president Grant not only
hurts himself-which is Of very little
consequence-but he hurts the Repub-
lican party, and that is very eerlous
matter. 1t is partly his misfortune, and
good deal more his fault, that he 10
cursed with as bad a set of advisers as
ever misled President to his ruin. We
do not think they will succeed in kill
ing the Republican party, although
they have already done it most irrepar-
able damage; but there is no question
that they will kill one Ulysses 5. Grant
unless he sees his danger in time and
shakes himself clear OF them.

TIE people of Martinsville are not
disposed to let the bridge question drop
without making an effort for the sue

bridge. A meeting in relation to the
matter is to be held in the Town Hall
