ARTICLE xvI.-AMENDMENTs.

This Article proposes to abolish that
provision of the present Constitution
which contemplates the assembling of a
Constitutional Convention every twenty
years. The expediency of holding such
Convention in future is thus left to the
discretion of the General Assembly. tits
further provided that the Legislature may
either propose amendments or call Con-
vention, by vote of threeGfths of its
members, instead of twothirds, as now
required.

The fourth section provides in effect
that women may be appointed to any.
except an elective, office. Section six is
intended to prevent gratuities to the Off
GERS therein specified; and section ten to
secure the lives, health and safety of per-
sons engaged in mining, as being pecu-
liarly exposed to dangers which the State
should guard against.

ARTICLE XIv.-LEGIsLATIvE APPoRTIoN.
MENT AND REPRESENTATION.


single Senatorial and Representative dis
tricts, conforming to the single districts
of the rest of the State. After much dis
cussion, substitute for that proposition
was finally agreed to, by vote made up
about equally of both political parties,
giving the minorities of those localities
representation by applying the cumula-
tive method of suffrage in the election Of
Senators and Representatives in all coun-
ties where more than two are to be
chosen. This provision is general and
permanent in its intention and scope. At
present it only affects Hamilton and Guy
ahoga counties, but from 1876 to 1880 it
will apply to Franklin. and Montgomery,
which will each choose three Representa-
tives; and after the next apportionment
it will apply to Hamilton, Cuyahoga,
Franklin, Montgomery, Lucas, Belmont,
Butler, Columbiana, Stark, and probably
other of the large and rapidly growing
counties. .se =
By this method of suffrage, each elector
casts as many votes for Senators or Rep.
resentatives as there are officers of that
class to be chosen in his county or dis
trict, and may give them all to one candi-
date or distribute them among several, as
he may see fit. For instance, Cuyahoga
county elects five Representatives; and a
voter there may cast FIVE votes for one
candidate, or two votes for one and three
for another; or may otherwise distribute
his votes, or equal parts thereof, among
any number Of candidates from one to
Eve. Thus, oneffth of the voters having
the name of only one candidate on their
ticket can elect him; twoffths having the
name Of but two candidates on their
ticket can elect them; and three6fths,
uniting on three candidates, can elect
them. In short, by this method of suf-
frage, each of the political parties in
Cuyahoga county, which comprises in its
ranks as much as oneffth of the electors,
can secure representation in the House
of Representatives in due proportion to

ARTICLE Ix.-THE MILITIA.

The word "white" is stricken out of this
Article, so that all able-bodied citizens
shall be liable to military duty. A limit
ed exemption to those who have conscien-
tious scruples is allowed upon payment Of
an equivalent into the school fund. All
officers above the rank Of captain, except
the staff Of general officers and colonies,
are hereafter to be appointed by the Gov
ernor; but major and brigadier generals
must be appointed with the advice and
consent of the Senate.

ARr1cLE 1n.-rHE EXECUTIVE.
ARTIcLE Iv.-oUR COURTS.

Chief among the purposes for which the
Convention was called was the reorgani-
Eation Of the Judiciary. The accumula-
ton of judicial business had blockaded
the courts. From one to tive years was
required to reach the hearing Of cause
in the Common Pleas, and from FIVE to
seven years in reaching an end in the Su-
preme Court. This was virtual dsnial
Of Justice, often working the bankruptcy
of itigants even when successf, ril. Its
causes were obvious. The practice of
second trials duplicated the labors of the
Common Pleas Judges. The time which
ought to have been devoted 'n that Court

4 Sehool-BOy's story.

John Tubbs was one day doing his sums,
when little Sam Jones pushed against him /;
and down went the slate with horrid cat-
ter. take care Of the pieces said the
boys, laughing. But Mr.. Brill, the mas
ter, thought it no laughing matter, and be-
lieying it to be John Tubs fault, told him
that he should pay for the slate, and have
his play stopped for week.
John said nothing He did not wish to
get little sam into trouble; so he bore the
blame quietly. Johns mother was by no
means pleased at having to pay for the
slate. as She was poor woman, and had to
provide for several other little Tnbbses be-
sides John.
l tell you what it is, John" said she,
" you must learn to be more careful. l
will not give you any milk for your break
fast all the week and by this | shall save
money for the slate, which it is right you
should pay for.
Poor John ate his bread with water in
stead of milk but somehow he was not un-
happy, for ho felt that be had done kind
ness to little Sam Jones and the satistac.
ton of having rendered service to another
always brings happiness.
A few days after Mr.. Jones came to the
school, and spoke to Mr.. Brill about the
matter, for little Sam had told his father
aud mother all about it, Sam was a timid
boy, but he could not bear 10 see John
nubbs kept in for no fault, while the other
boys were at play,
"What % said the master " and has
John Tubbs borue all the blame without
saying a wordY Come here, John"
whats the matter now ?" said John to
himself. Something else, suppose
Well, never mind, as that poor little Sam
Jones has got out Of the scrape.p lo
snow, boys, said Mr.. Brill, here's John
Tubbs, look at him." And the boys did
look at him as criminal, and John looked
very much like criminal, and began to
think that he must be bad sort Of fellow
to be called up in this way by the master,
Then Mr.. Brill. the master, told tho boys
all about the broken slate, that John did
not break it, but bore all the blame to save
Sam Jones the trouble, and had gone with
out his milk aud play without murmur
The good schoolmaster said that such cou,
duet was above all praise, and, when he was
done speaking, the boys burst out into a
cheer Such q loud hurrah II made the
school-walls ring again Then they took
John on their shoulders, aud carried him
in triumph around the playground.
And what do you think John said to all
this? He ouly said, there, thatll do. II
you don't mind, you'll throw fellow down.
