Rssolvcd That in the opinion Of this Conven-
tiou, the time has come when our State Consii-
tuition should be amended, and especially in
regard to cur judicial system.
Rrsolued-That this Convention is entirely
satisfied with the provisions Of our present Con-
stitution In regard to change Of county lines and
removal OF county seats, and we shall be we'll
satisfied to see similar provision incorporated
iato the new Constitution.
R.soYued That this Convention Is in favor of
annual sessions Of the Legislature Of this State.
Resolued That the recent inev evstigations Into
the conduct NJ our National Representatives in
regard to the Credit Mobilier transactions, meet
with our hearty approval, and those who have
ATTEMPTED to cover up their connection thsrewi, i,h
have proved themselves unworthy OF the conf
denee Of the people.
Resolsed-'fhat the purity Of eur judiciary,
requires that Judges guilty Of crime, shall be
summariiy dealt with, aRd their power to do
harm quickly taken away from them. If Judge
Sherman has been guilty Of crime, let him be
quickly decapitated; for we would no sooner
screen Republican Judge who had been guilty
Of wrong, than one Of opposite politics.
j. H. Reid, Chm. OF Committee.
