| CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.-Asb by
law directed, the Secretary of State
Hon. James d. Minor, publishes to tn,
voters of this State two resolution,
passed by the last Legislature. One Of
these provides for amending the Consti
tuition SO rs to make the fiscal year be-
gin with the first ei December * each
year, instead OF the first of January, as
now. This proposed amendment is one
of the real necessities of the times.
! Under the existing arrangement the close
| of the fiscal year and ;hs meeting OF the
Legislature occur nearly or quite stimuli
| taneouslv. This makes il physically
| impossible for the Sta'e officials who
| have important reports 10 make to per-
feet and present them until two or three
or four weeks after the session begins.
Inasmuch as sll the financial legislation
has to be based upon the Reports Of the
Controller and Treasurer. it is almost
imperative that the proposed consti,u-
tional change should take place. The
other amendment published advises the
calling of q Constitutional Convention.
We are not prepared 70 coincide with
this suggestion. Constitutional Con-
ventious cost good deal of money.
The Constitution we are labUring under
L. I'd Nd
what would be done for us 10y such tim
kerers and puttsrers AZ might be got to-
yether to revise that instrument. Is not
encouraging to contemplate. The Off
cial advertisement will be found in an
other part of the APPEAL.
A HANDSOMELY conducted runaway
was that of the pair of horses attached
to Doc Benton's bus, yesterday after
noon. They came tearing down from
the direction of the depot, through Car
son street and turned the corner of
Third street by the stable. Then they
coursed round the square and came past
our Office turning Rails corner and
heading toward the stable again. AS
they passed Gus Lewis place GINS jump
ed and caught the reins of the off horse,
and in another second John Ulrick
caught the near one, and SO they were
stopped. Thus was this spirited squirt
of the frolicsome bus plugs successfully
ended before any serious damage had
been done. The vehicle itself stood the
racket nobly, and never veered an inch
from an even keel.
Buck ZABEIsKIE, who has returned
from his fathers bedside, reports the
old gentleman measurably relieved from
the effects of his dose Of croton oil, but
still suffering from ieyerish turn which
threatens to assume typhoid form. DR..
Zabriskis is quite an aged man-7o years
old We believe-and although he is
blessed with very vigorous and n re-
markedly well preserved constitution, he
has not AS much elasticity to resist snch
an attack ~ this that hs had when his
old California friends first knew him.
We trust, however. that few days will
see him all right again.
RETURNED.-Col.A A. c. Ellis and Mr..
Richard Kel' ; returned home yesterday
from their Eastern trip. which
included participation in the St. Louis

their families return in fine health and

eldest old. timers also made his appear
ance here yesterday morning. He will |
re. establish himself on this coast-either |
