Two proposed amendments to the
Ohio constitution were submitted to
the voters of that State at the recent
election, and notwithstanding the
measures were acknowledged by both
parties to be sanitary and wise, they
were defeated by heavy majority
for the reason that not one fifth of the
people to"k the trouble to vote on
them, aud nearly all of these did so
because they opposed the PROPOSE
tons. The New Orleans Democrat
quotes this circumstance rs an argn-
ment against the feasibility of re-
vising the Louisiana constitution by
the system of amendments.
