THE SCHEDULE.

The Schedule provides that the Consti-
tuition, if adopted, shall take effect on the
first day of October next. The entire sys-
tenn of courts of general jurisdiction hav-
ing been remodeled, it was deemed proper
to inausurate the new system by electing
all the judges of these several courts at
the same time. Hence it is provided that
the first election for Judges of the Su-
preme, Circuit and Common Pleas Courts
shall be held on the second Tuesday of
October next, that being the day fixed by
existing law for the election of members
of the next Congress.
The Constitution is framed with view
to biennial elections. As the elections for
members of Congress, as fixed by Federal
authority, will, after this year, be held on
the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday
in November in every year of even num-
Der, it became necessary. in order to avoid
annual general elections, or two general
elections in one year, to provide for hold
ing State and county elections on the
same day and year. This is s>done, and
will be carried into effect at and after the
election in the year 1876. AS the election
in 1875 is departure from this general
policy, intended merely to fill the offices
that will become vacant till the general
election in 1876, it is properly designated
a Especial election" (Sec. g.
The Jurisdiction of the Probate Court
remains unchanged; and as it has no
necessary connection with the other
courts, the term of the Judges now in
office is extended to January, 1877. Their
successors will be elected in November,
1876.
Upon the adoption of this Constitution,
it is made the duty of the Governor to ap-
point a commission of three persons to re-
wise and codify the general laws of the
State, so that there shall be but one law
upon one subjects This work. properly
executed, will be Of great benefit.
The Constitution IS required to be sub
mitted to the electors on the 18th day of
August next. The manner in which the
result of such submission shall be ascer-
tanned and declared is specified in Sec
tions 12 and Is.
In addition to the other separate propo-
sitions to which reference has been made
under the titles "Our Courts" "Public
Debt and Public Works." provision is
made for separately submitting third
proposition, relating to the traffic in in
roxicating liquors. This is separated into
two alternate propositions. The first au-
thorizes the grant of license to traffic in
spirituous, vinous and malt liquors un-
der such regulations and limitations as
shall be prescribed by law; the second
forbids the grant of any license for such
purpose. All votes cast "For license"
will be counted for the first proposition,
and all against license" for the second;
and the one having the larger vote will
be declared adopted.

ARTICLE xvn.-AMENDMENTs.

further provided that the Legislature may
either propose amendments or call Con-
vention, by a vote of threeffths of its
members, instead of twothirds, as now
required.

PEOPLE OF OHIO
10 THE

The undersigned, in obedience to the
order of the Constitutional Convention,
submit for your consideration a statement
of the more material amendments of the
organic law Of the State proposed in the
new Constitution. We have sought to
state only the substance of the changes.
without giving at large the reasons which
commend them.

ARTICLE 1.-THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

Except in sections five, eight and ten,
this Article is substantially unchanged.
These sections are so amended that in
suits for less than one hundred dollars the
iurv need not consist of more than six
persons; the writ of hsbeas corpus can be
suspended only in such manner as shall
be prescribed by law; and suits cannot be
brought BY publicstion unless the Court
shall be satisfied that the residence and
postofice address of the party cannot be
found, 40 that be shall have actual notice.

Article NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

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.

its numbers. So also with the election of
the four Senators and ten Representatives
in Hamilton county; the three Represent
atives in Franklin and Montgomery; and
the Representatives and Senators in the
several other counties which from time to
time will come within the operation of
this section.
The friends of minority representation
in the Convention generally preferred this
cumulatire method of suffrage in eIecting
Senators and Representatives, and the re-
stricted method in electing Judges. The
reason for the distinction was, that by the
cumulative method each political party,
however small, which comprises in its
ranks a ratio for one Senator or Represen-
tative, can elect one; and it is proper and
expedient that it should have that voice
in the representative assembly of the
State. But it was not thought expedient
to put it in the power of small party or
faction, combining on some special inter-
est or theory, to choose one of the Judges
of the highest courts. Therefore the re-
stricted vote was adopted as TO the elec-
ton of Judges, by which over forty per
cent. of thevotes are required to elect one
out of three, and tLirtyseven per cent. to
elect one out of five.

ARTICLE xv.-JUD1c1AL APpoRTIoNMENT.

The judicial apportionment is tempo
rary in its character, being subject to al
teration at the will of the General Assem-
bly,; and is designed to make such group
ing of counties and distribution of judi
cial force as will be fair to the political
parties, disturb as little as practicable
existing business relations, and insure dis
patch in the transaction of the public
business.

ARTICLE EXECUTIVE.

Chief among the purposes for which the
Convention was called was the reorgani-

tion of judicial business had blockaded
the courts. From one TO tive years was
required to reach the hearing of a cause
in the Common Pleas, and from five to
seven years in reaching an end in the Su-
preme Court. This was virtual denial
Of justice, often working the bankruptcy
of litigants even when successf ul. Its
causes were obvious. The practice of
second trials duplicated the labors of the
Common Pleas Judges. The time which

(From the Voice of Masonry
The Pope Expelled from the Free
MasOns.

At the semi-annual meeting of the
Grand Lodge of Masons, Scottish Rite
of the Orient of Palermo, Italy, on the
9th OF March last, Pope Plus X. was ex.
PEELED from the Order. Ths decree of
expulsion was published in the Official
Masonic paper at Cologne, Germany, and
is preceded by the minutes OF the lodge
in which he was Initiated, as follows;
"a man named NJ istai Ferrettl, who
received the baptism of FreemAsOnry and
sOlemnly pledged his love and fellow
ship, and who afterwards was crowned
Pope and King, under the title of Pic
Nino, has now cursed his former brethr n
and eXeommunicated all members ofth1
Order OF FreemasOns. Therefore, said
Mastal Ferretti Is herewith, by decree OF
the Grand Lodge of the Orient, Palermo
expelled from the Order for perjury"
The charges against him were frstpra-
ferred In his lodge at Palermo, in 1865.
and notification and copy thereof sent to
him, With request to attend the lodge
for the purpose of answering the same.
10 this he made no reply, and, for reas.
ons, the charges were not pressed until
he urged the Bishops of Brazil to act ag-
gressively towards the Freemasons.
Then they were pressed, and, after reg
ular trial, a decree Of expulsion was en-
tered and published, the same being sign
ed by Victor Emmanuel. XII z OF Italy,
and Grand Master OF the Orient of Italy.

DEITz, whose arrest and Imprisonment
in the county Jail of Hancock county for
twenty days for selling beer contrary to
law, which was made the pretext for the
Inauguration of mob law in Findlay
week before last, was taken before Judge
PILLARS on a writ of Aa5eas corpus and
discharged from custody. The grounds
on which he was released are, that after
he had been sentenced he was allowed to
go at large fo- some time, and that he
c ,uld not be rearrested when once out Of
the custody OF the marshal.
In speaking of the emenations from
the pulpit on the Suud y following the
mob, the Je6ersoniGn says:
In several Of the churches last Sabbath the
pastors preached sermons on the duties Of the
citizens In our present troubles, alluding es-
pecially TO the conduct Of the mob who took
old man Dietz from the jail. Rev. Eben
Muse, of the Presbyterian Church, gave his
congregation some wholesome advice as to the
course that should be pursued in cases where
the law has been trampled upon AS il was last
week. Father Young OF the st. Michael's

against the conduct of the mob, and advised
proper obedience 10 the law, and respect tot
