The Rutland Herald, in carefully pre-
pared article broachng the idea of n con-
ycntion to amend our State constitution,
calls attention to the rather surprising fact
that that instrument has never been, in
whole or in part submitted 10 direct vote
of the people. Tho original instrument
was formed by convention OF representa-
tives of the then several towns in the state,
which assembled at Windsor, July ., III,
and "owing TO the unsettled state of public
opinion" was never ratified 10y the people.
What changes the Herald desires we are
not yet informed.

that the present Board did illegally

hundred dollars of the immigration

est activity than just at present. The
National Labor Council, which was
in session at Washington last week,

tant business relative to the amelior-
alton of the condition of the labor
classes, passed a resolution to circulate
the following petition in every part
of the Union, with a view of present.
ing it to the next Congress:
To the Honorable the Senate and House
Of Representatives in Congress as,
sembled:
The undersigned mechanics, labor
ers, &c, citizens of the United States
and voters accordingly, do petition
your honorable body to amend the
law known as "The eight hour law"
so that in all contracts for labor en-
tered into between the United States
government or any officer thereof
and individuals it shall be particular
ly and distinctly specified in all con-
tracts that eight hours shall consti-
tute q days work, and any violation
thereof shall annul said contract.

WE have no desire to pursue the

s~elf-evident, that the mere connec.

e%xonerate parties responsible for its
internal management from charges of
unwarranted and reprehensible prac-
tices. The people of this State tax
themselves over $4,000 annually for
the maintenance of the unfortunate
inmates of the asylum, and they have
a right TO demand that the wardens,
guardians and teachers employed
therein shall abstain from every
species of cruelty or brutality in their
treatment, no matter what the ofFense
may be.

The readers of the Republican who
have noted the senseless raving of
its editor, and the ceaseless barking
of its Lincoln correspondent at the
heels of a private citizen named
Hascall, must be exceedingly puzzled
as to the real status of citizen Has
call. They have been repeatedly
assured by the Republican that the
individual in question was dead
politically, mentally, morally and
every other way, but every day we
are treasured that Hascall is at the
bottom of capital removal, constitu-
tons, and every other imaginable
legislative scheme or project. Yes
terday a whole column was devoted
by the Republican to Hascall for car
rying Webster's constitution bill in
the Senate. Really if citizen Has
call has accomplished all these things
in spite of the solemn warnings of
the Republican, he must either be a
very potential knave, or the Republi.
can has ceased to WELD a particle of
influence as a party organ.

The new constitution matter hay
ing been satisfactorily disposed of
by the passage of an act in conformity
with the provisions of the present
Constitution, we deem it Unnecessary
at this time to discuss the pros and
cons Of Mr.. Webster's constitution
bill or the Governors veto thereof.
We are, however, inclined to remark
that the mean and unmanly attacks
of the Republican on the members of
the Legislature who favored the var
ious methods for procuring a new
constitution in a speedy.manner, were
to say the least very contemplate.
A person who connived ut the forgery
