eggs, having 10 1878 imported more than $780,

AMENDMENTS TO THE CoNsTlTUToS.-Ju'ge
r. w. Thomas of the Committee appointed
nv the last General Assembly, to suggest
amendments to the Constitution of the State,
was in the city yesterday. The Judge says the
committee has not yet concluded its labors.
Important changes 10 the present instrument
will, no doubt, be recommended, one of which
will be, to do away with the necessity OF having
two LEGISLATURES to pass upon az amendment
before it's submission to the popular vote The
report will be prepared in time for the next
session to ma,urely consider the changes pro-
posed, but such as may be made by the present
Legislature cannot be ratified until the succeed
inc LEGISLATURE shall have authorized them.
