I, CHARLESTON, March 3O.-Eyerything in-i
dictates thatthe Convention is now bringing
its labors to close The best in formed mems
bers think it will'fnally adjourn in about one
week from this time. Every article of the:
proposed Constitution has been acted upon
either in Convention or Committee of the
Whole, except the subject of land titles and
the schedule, which were referred to select
commuters have reported and their reports
are printed. Mr.. Faulkner, chairman Of the
Committee of Revision, has reported the first
eleven articles for the final action of the Con-
vention, aud will no doubt PROMPTLY report
tho remaining articles on Free Schools, Land
titles and Miscellaneous Provisions, SO soon as
they are referred to his committee.
A great deal of interest is felt in reference
to the article relating to free schools. The
report Of the standing committee on that SUBJ
ject having been totally overthrow and de-
molished, it will be necessary to reconstruct
some other scheme in its place. The plan
now in the ascendancy is to restore the tenth
article Of our present Constitution, but even
that will have to be somewhat improved and
enlarged to meet the public expectation in re-
gard to that system.
The friends of the minority, or proportion
al scheme of representation, to. day achieved
very moderate triumph in the insertion of
their principle into che Constitution As it
was presented to the Convention to-day, it
was highly Objectionable. but upon the motion
OF Mr. Faulkner, the principle was made ex.
clusively applicable to the Senate, and the
sense Of the people upon the adoption of the
system, postponed until 1876, and upon the
motion of Mr.. Miller, of your county, it was
made optional, but not imperative, upon the
Legislature to submit it to the people in that
year.
The homo stead and exemption principles
have, after vigorous contest, finally tri-
nmphed, the value Of the homestead being
liked at one thousand dollars and the exemp-
ti"n OF personal property at two hundred
Two pleasant and agreeable meetings of the
Democratic members of the Convention have
recently been held in the hall Of the House
of Delegates, in which the State aud national
interests of the party have been ably and elo.
quent'y reviewed and discussed.
The Committee on the Schedule has made
its report, and it has now been determined
that the vote on the adoption of the new Con
stitution and the election of State and county
officers under that Constitution will take place
on the fourth Thursday of August next.
1t is believed that the State Democratic
Convention will be held at Martinsburg or the
White Sulphur Springs, on or about the
eighth of June next. KAsAwHA.

correspondent Of the Wheeling Register,
under date of the 9Th ult, .ay.:-
A consultation Of Democratic members Of
the Conscntiou was held this evening in the
hall OF the House Of Delegates. After full
exchange of opinions. i. was resolved to hold
an election FOR the officers required by the new
Constitution a, the same time that the ponu-
lar vote is to be taken in reference to the rsti>
fcation or rejection of that instrument. The
exact time of its submission to the people and
of the accompanying election was not deter
mined but will probably be about the middle
of June. Another meeting will be held this
week to consider that question.

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

A few more such victories as that achieved
by the Republicans in Connecticut, on Mon
day last, says the Baltimore Gazette, would
be fatal to the re election of General Grant
If, at an isolated State election, at which all
the influence of the enormous patronage of
the Administration could be brought to bear,
with the most powerful effect, in favor of the
Republican candidate for Governor, the latter
finds himself at the close of the contest with
but meagre majority of somewhat over q
hundred votes, there is fair reason to hope
that the Democrats will be able to carry the
State at the Presidential election. It was
only by supreme effort that the Republicans
succeeded in re-electing Governor Jewell
His personal popularity was very great, and
independently of Federal help, he had all the
State machinery in his hand. The occasion
was one of peculiar importance, from the eff
feet which it was supposed the result would
have upon popular opinion in other Sta.es.-
Knowing this, and knowing also how deeply
the friends of General Grant were interested
in retaining, at all hazards, their control Of
the State, we anticipated Democratic defeat
But the bare possession of the field is not that
sort of victory which sensible Republicans
will rejoice over, nor is it such as will give
sensible Democrats any valid reason for des-
pondency.
