AS TO Amending the Constitution Of
West Virginia.

As 10 Amending the Constitution OF
Yves, Virginia.
From the Grafton Sentinel
Based upon the probabilities Of such q
policy being adopted in Virginia, the
Wheeling 1NTELLIdEEcER discusses the
propriety Of appointing a committee,
composed from the ranks Of the Demo
cratic, the Jacob and the Republican par.
ties, for revision Of the State Constitution;
the lNTEL1IoENCRR thinks such action
much preferable to the Convention bust
meas. Should there ever be move made
towards amendment to the Constitution,
In our opinion that, or some such unosten.
tatious means, should be adopted. Never
burden US with o onvention-irom
whatever party 1t might possibly emanate
Whatever changes are thought necessary
to be made in the Constitution can be
much more economically, more expedi-
tlously and more satisfactorily accom-
plished by q much preferable way, and
without subjecting the State to the a.
noyances OF present arrangements. It Is
understood that the amendments propos.
ed by the committee" III such should be
appointed) will necessarily require ratif-
cation by two successive Legislatures,
and a subsequent ratification by the peo-
pie.
The INTELI1GENCER's argument is
sound on this point.

ner must ever sigh as they recall the gray
shadow Of infinite WEAKNESS which set
tied upon him during the last few months
Of his stay here. 1t was the shadow Of
death stealing outward from tie dark
valley. Yet he never accomplished more
actual labor than in the last winter. But
let no one suppose that to him the call
came unaware. Late last summer he
said to one who loves to live: "When
you have lived as long as have, survived
so many that you love, and have realized
by experience how much OF vanity and
vexation enter into oil Of our struggles and
vexatlons here, you will know IN TACT that
you are alone, and begin TO have pleasant
antlcipations Of that country where there
Is no friction, and where friend never
turns from friend. My call to 1t will be
welcome, and I have no prayer to offer
against sudden death."-[Letter from Mrs
