New York does not seem to be in very
fair way to obtain an amended constil-
zion. A constitutional convention met n
few wears ago, but its work was rejected
by the people. y couple of years ago.
Governor Hoffman appointed a 'constitu-
iiOnal commission to recommend amend
ncnts TO he submitted to the legislature ;
the course then being. as in Vermont, that
the proposed amendments should be adopted
by two successive legislatures and then, if
ratified by the people. they became part
of the constitution. The legislature of 1872
adopted the work of the commission with
some alterations and then referred the mat
ter to the session of 1878. In order to OBJ
tain vote Of the people thereon this year,
they must be agreed to eractly as passed hv
the legislature year ago. Instead of doing
this, the present body are at work altering
the phraseology. making al iitons and al
terations-in fact, making new amend
ments. The effect of this will be to post
pone the matter until another year. A
safer, better, cheaper and speedier way
would be to have new constitutional con-
ventiOn and done with it. The people
ought by this time, TO have some idea of
the kind of constitution they desire,

The sale of the vernon, and Canada

The Montpelier Waterman says of the
negotiation now in progress for the pur-
chase of the Vermont and Canada by the
Central Vermont
1t is understood that this arrangement
Will be carried into effect at once, and that
neither Governor Smith nor Mr. Brooks
have acted without sufficient authority.
The securities of the Vermont and Canada
road have at once appreciated in value.
This settlement is very gratifying to the
friends of all the parties concerned 1t is
an excellent arrangement for the Canada
road and honorable to the Central. The
Vermont and Canada had put itself in a
hard position by its own acts. The Cen
trail now relieves it and takes upon itself
the burden of all its debts. 1t relies upon
the future development of the business of
the line and the termination of the wasting
expenses OF an unfortunate and costly lit
igatlon to justify the proposition il has
made, BY this settlement il also turns the
parties who have been hostile into friends
and shows that its managers are the men
of sagacity and ability and honor we have
always held them to be-
We should not be surprised if the Boston
Irapeller, the Springfield Republican, and
the st. Adams Messenger, should before
long claim the honor of having been Gov.
Smiths most faithful and cordial friends.
Even the Nation may yet clasp Trenor w.
Park to its spotless, egotistcal bosom, and
protest that the "lSmith family Of Von,ont"
deserve the respect of their fellow men.
And should it ever do so, its friendship will
be as futile as was its enmty, and its praise
as contemplate as its blame We con-
graduate the 'Smlth family of Vermont"
upon the probability of their CONDUCTING
the magnificent enterprise they have un'
dertaken, through SO much troubled water
and against SO much calumny, safely TO n
peaceful and successful end.

tailed by the steady pursuit or business in old
fashioned grooves, launch into loud and ex.

the brink OF a similar crime Rene is saved by the
intervention OF his sister Gabrielle, his uncle Gen.

highly sensational; a seventh commandment in

versatlOn is brisk, but never witty There Is the
same differences between this and the legitimate
