Jersey Constitutional Convention, now re-
vsing the Fundamental law Of that rather
notorious State, seems to have at last aFak-
ened to a sense of duty In the matter OF
reform and progress. One day last week,
they adopted the proposed amendment en-
aiding the Governor to veto separate items
in an incidental bill without defeating the
whole. An amendment WAS also adopted,
dlsqualifying member OF Congress or Fed
eral of6ce-hoder from occupying the guber-
Material ch ,r and forbidding the election OF
Governor to the United States Senate, or
bis accept ,nce OF any Federal appointment
during his incuubency. TINS will be looked

but its carrying out will undau ttedly tend
to purify tire present system of politics in
that State.
