The constitutional amendments which are TO be

make fine living by lobbying at Albany during
the legislative sessions. are earnestly opposed to
come a part OF the constitution their occupations
will be- IKE Otheo's, gone forever, and, as con-
sequence, their periodical rich hauls from the
public treasury. IL Is for this reason, probably,
that not the slip htest effort has Deen thus
far made by either the republican or democratic
wire-pullers to impress upon the people
their vital Importance to the future welfare OF the
State. However, during the past few weeks or.
ganizat,ons, not political have taken upon them
selves the task which by right, we're the political
managers, especially In the country districts, de-
sirous OF doing their whole duty. should have
already been performed BY the politicians. The
Chamber OF Commerce and the Board OF Trade OF
this city during the past week have not only
recommended their adoption by the people, but
have taken measures to have ballots In favor OF
the amendments distributed freely at every poll

ceptably discharged, His public life has
been long and honorable. He was an
officer in the United State Army that SER
we'd in Mexico. He was member of the
State Senate and if we mistake not he was
at one time its presiding officer.
He was active and consistent throughout
the fierce struggles that eliminated in
| 1861 over the disruption of the Union, and

| thrown in favor of the Union. At the
close of the war he was chosen one Of the
Judges of the Supreme Court Of this State,
a position he filled with great credit
He was appointed Judge Of the Court Of
Claims at Washington by President John
