ALBANY. May 20. 1873.

ALBANY, Nay ~, 1873.
The work OF the Constitutional Commission ap-
pointed by Governor Hoffman under an act OF the
Legislature OF 1872, to revise and suggest amend
ments to the constitution Of the State, was CON-
posed Of some OF the most solid publicists OF all
parts OF the State and may be supposed to have
done its work well. surer proof OF such con.
summation Is found, however, in the fact that the
Legislature, OF which this Commission was sub
stantially committee after thorough discussion
Of the work, found so little 70 change. Below we
give
DIGEST OF THE CHANGES PROPOSED.
According to the constitution 1t is necessary when
amendments thereto are to be made that they shall
be proposed In the Senate and Assembly; shall be
agreed to by majority Of the members elected to

ton OF Senators, and shall be published for three
months previous TO the time Of making such choice
and If in the Legislature so next chosen as afore.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
The Atlantic-F1esolute Match stopped by
Rnfn.

About five hundred persons assembled on the
Union Grounds yesterday afternoon TO witness the
match between the Atlantic and Resoute clubs.
Game was called at three O'Clock instead Of four,

and had been doing so since the first bali was
pitched. The score at this time was eight to
nothing In favor OF the Resoutes two Of their runs
being earned, and, judging from the excellent
they would doubtless have administered a severe

come TO their relief.
