The AMsNpMENTs.-The whole string of
proposed constitutional amendments have
been adopted by the Legislature, and are to
be submitted in bulk form to the voters OF
the State for ratification or rejection.
Many of the leading papers of the State
have criticised land very properly, in our
judgment) the action of the General Assem-
bly, In thus forcing the people either to &C.
cept of the whole mass of amendments, or,
az the only alternative, to reject them a |. We
can conceive of no palliation, much less
justification, for this singular procedure;
for. aside from the privilege which
clearly ought to be accorded to the
voters, of discrimination as between the diff
ferent propositions, we are convinced that
the measure will give rise to more or less
discussion in the Conservative ranks. True,
as the Richmond Dispatch very justly holds,
this should not be claimed as party mea.
sure, and should not by any means In its sub
mission be made a test of party fellowship.
But such course will no doubt be persisted
in by some of the patrons of the bill, and
the opposition will very naturally seek to
make capital out of the odium which attaches
to it, and rightfuly hold the Conservative
party responsible for the blunder.-RusSeH

whom all the other members confide, It is

y Senator Herndon commenced by saving
that if there was boon that the sou' bern
people ask above all others ie was a railroad
from the Mississippi 10 the Pacific. So grea,
was this boon that if the old boy himself,
horns, hoofs, and all to come and Offer
it be would be for accepting. He drew
glowing picture Of the teem,ng territory THAI
would be trayefs.d by it, and the ricn islands
and countries whose trade IL would open up.
BE described Tom Scott as 8 raIroa Bis
marcs, as fioanciai Neeker, and said that The
senator from CamDbell had struck the key
note when he sad that although there was
another road to the Pacific, Colonel Scott WAS
aiming to build his road because be would
thereby save 400 miles. The shortest route
was the true route. Who Is Tom Scot
He Is q bead and shoulders shove all other
railroad men. II had been said by the sena.

but acquires those built by others. He had

TIE CoNsrrTUTIoNAL AMBsDaENTs.--Both
Houses OF the General Assembly have passed
the bill for submitting the constitutional
amendments to the people at the November
election.
1t is to be regretted that the House deter
mined to submit the amendments as a whole
Instead of allowing each to be voted upon
separately and upon its own merits. ~
Their adoption ia their present form Is ex.
tremely uncertain, as all the elements OF op-
position will be united against them. There
should be separate vote on each amend
ment, for in no other way can the will of the
people be ascertained in respect to them, and
