of the University systems Of England
and Scotland, showing the difference
In their origins, the life which they
present to their students, the impress

influence the nation, and the consti-

shifting in the discovery Of the re-

Then we have a glance at those
works which affect "the internal com

defences Of the state against invasion
or rebellion on the one hand, AL
against dearth and pestilence on the
other. lA y. ..t

taken with the view of joining DR..
Livingstone, but, being too late fol
that, carried ont alone. 1t is an &C.
count of manners and customs, Ol
difficulties, and of scenery, with
which we are becoming tolerably
familiar.
The essay on Russia treats Of the
past. present and fntnre of that coun.
try, going back a thousand years, and
showing her small beginning and hel
rise, 4ntil she possessed despotit
government, "a servile or frivolous
noblesse, q corrupt bureaucracy, ar

geoisie, and a superstitious peasant

NECESSITY FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION.

Oar present constitution is grossly
detective and faulty, and it should be
amended of the face Of the earth by q
sovereign convention Appeal.
We agree to that too. 1t empha-
sizes what we had to say yesterday
under the head of defective legis-
lation." Bungling laws cost the
State more every year than the ex-
pense of a constitutional conven-
ton. The present constitution was
framed for the purpose mainly Of
enrranchiSing the white voters who
hal been disfranchised for fifteen
years by our kind Radical brethren.
All other issues were subordinated
to this one, and many Of them did
not receive due attention and care.
At that time affairs were unsettled
and the people had not adapted
themselves to the changed relations
of labor and capital. Amendments
made otherwise than by a sovereign
convention must be approved by
two successive legislatures and then
by the people at the next general
election. This takes, then, from
three to four years, and amend
ments can be SO submitted only
once in six years. This is a very
unsatisfactory mode, and the at
tempt inaugurated in the last legis-
lature will probably prove a failure
on account of some irregularity in
the manner Of passage or record.
