A DOUBLE REFORM.

The two important amendments to the Con-
stitution of this State upon which the people
must pass Mt the general election this Fall,
have reached this last stage of their progress
only after nearly n decade of strenuous effort
and agitation. Substantially the same PROPOSE
tons were put forth by the Constitutional
Convention of 1867, but failed of approval.
There were many who saw then rs clearly as
all of us see now the evils of the present sys
TEN of canal and prison management, but the
rings were still powerful enough to do what
they would with the Constitution and the laws.
The Commission which was appointed in 1871
and sat during the two following years re-
ported the amendments in the form in which
they will be voted on next November, and they
were approved by the Legislature of 1873. A
failure to take action upon them by the fol-
loving Legislature made it necessary to go
back to the beginning again, and the Legisla-
ture of 1875, under the stress of public opin
ion, now fully aroused, affirmed them. In the
last Legislature they were introduced on the
first day Of the session by Gen. r. U. Sher-
man, and were pressed through largely by his
aid. The provisions of these amendments have
long since grown familiar to the public They
are substantially the same. Each provides for
the appointment by the Governor and Senate
of q responsible head for the canal and prison
systems, to be termed respectively the Super
intendent Of Public Works and the Supcrin-
tendent OF State Prisons. The former holds
his Office for the term OF the Governor nomi-

The British Liberals are watching closely the
conduct of tho Government in the Winslow
case. Unless the Earl of Derby prudently re-

1t is not expected that the eloquent Radicals
who advocate general amnesty in the French
Chamber of Deputies will convince the ma
jority that the measure is desirable. Most OF
the Republicans are generously disposed, but
they are restrained by the fear of their party
being connected with the misdeeds of the Com
mune if they should favor general Jail de-
livery.

ruu ,.,.sa1uus coue or the duellist still bears
sway in civilized Europe and has claimed for
its victim Prince William Auersperg, who was
mortaly wounded on the 9TH inst at the hands
of Count Karowlat. The young Prince was
heir to an extensive property in Bohemia,
where the Auerspergs have held princely rank
for more than two centuries. His death aug
ments the influence of Prince Adolf Auersperg,
President of the Austrian Council of Ministers,
who is now rendered heir presumptive to the
family honors and estates. In this respect
alone the tragic event has political significance.
New-York tribune., 1876-05-17

Prince Jerome Napoleon's election has, it ap-
pears, caused considerable commotion among
the Bonapartists, who have reason to fear his
personal Independence and aggressiveness. BY
sincerely upholding the Republic he may make
amends for his shortcomings during the En-
pire.

Tn the debate in the House upon taking ac-
ton against Mr.. Clapp, the Congressional
Printer the speeches made in his favor modi-
fed the effect of the committee report. 1t was
limited that much of the testimony brought
against him came from rivals anxious to sup
plant him. Nevertheless the resolutions. in
Guiding an order to take measures for having
Mr.. Clapp indicted by the District authorities,
passed by party vote. SO few of the investi-
cations have borne fruit that it was not
thought advisable to throw aside this thrifty
looking branch.
New-York tribune., 1876-05-17

The only way in which this country was
identified with the Salonica outrage was that
the carriage of the American Commercial Agent
who is a Greek-was uncercmoniously used
by the Christians for the purpose of Tescuins
the fair convert to lslamism who was the inno-
cent cause of the sanguinary riot. 1t is never
theless good policy for Admiral Worden to go
to the disturbed city with his flagship, since
nearly every great maritime nation has sent
vessels there.
New-York tribune., 1876-05-17

Another terrible explosion of some kind of
blasting powder in New-Jersey is recorded.
This time human life has been sacrificed, and
possibly a more conclusive effort will be made
by the authorities to regulate the manufac-
ture, storage and use Of these dangerous COM
pounds.
New-York tribune., 1876-05-17

The meeting this week of the Presbyterian
General Assembly will add one more to the
list of great gatherings during the present
year. Brooklyn is frequently favored as the
place of meeting for religious conventions,
and perhaps Mutual COuncir' is also among
the things of the near future. All this Is
doubtless trying to the hOspitalitics of the
Broollynites, but it necessarily falls to the lot
of the City of Churches.

As result of the Cabinet session, Gen.
Augur is authorized to give the aid of the

stances seem to require such interference.
Governing the South by Federal troops has
not, however. been so successful in practice
within the last two or three years as to call
for repetition.

The public views with impatience the vexa-
tious delays occasioned by the suits against
the Elevated Railroad. Encouraged by the sue
cess of the Sixth Avenue road, the Ninth
Avenue line is trying its hand at obtaining
ipjunctions. If the issue were decided by as
certaining whether the Ninth Avenue horse
cars serve the public as well as Rapid Transit
road there would soon be an end to this sort
of litigation.
New-York tribune., 1876-05-17

From the foreshadowed report Of the Sub
Committee on Navy-Yards, it appears probable
that the number of yards is to be materially
decreased, not more than two or three ultl-
mately surviving. OF course there will be
some awful shrieks of locality before the use
less concerns are closed but the hope of effect
ing a great economy will close the public ear
TO the outcries of the sufferers.

which is always used to express any agi-

of the country will soon be fully in
formed about the character of the candi-
dates for President, and the outside bar
barians learn that the American people
always choose the wickedest men in the
country to fill the higest office.
