The followingi is an interesting case Of a
man employed in al Iron Foundry, who,
pouring melted iron into flask that was
damp and wet, caused an explosion. The

4 Constitutional Convention.

We have not yet taken part in the
current discussion relative toa Con-
Stituliomal Convention ; not, however.
because we have not had positive
convictions on the question. That
many changes in the features of the
present constitution should be made.
all admit but some differences OF
opinion exist rs to the moouS oper0n-
III of ctltcting the changes needed.
The Alexandria .DcmOcrut and some
other papers think that the requisite
amendm cnts may be secured by sub.
hitting them to the vote Of tho pco-
pie, and by 80 doing the great ex-
pense and questionable policy of call
ing n Constitutional Convention at
this time will be avoided.
We think the disastrous fate Of the
five amendments voted upon at the
last election ought to satisfy every
body of the imrracticahility, of such
method of amendment.
The drmagoyucS of 'hoth parties
made Il handle of these proposed
amendments in this parish, and We
suppose elsewhere in the State, and
they will do so in the future if the
opportunity be again offered. 1t was
n" uncommon thing here, to find pol
iticians that had favored the amend
mcnts and llclp ped bring them before
the people, working secretly to de-
feat them, by issuing tickets broad
cast against them.
And then, if several amendments be
submitted to vote it the same time,
the confusion consequent seems TO 10
so great, 1T least in the case of those
recent! y submitted, that the Board "t
Canyassers cannot reach il conclusion
rs to how the vote was cast.
We think 4 Constitutional Conven-
ton the only method of accomplish
iny the changes impcrativc|y demand
ed. OF these changes We shall have
much to say ihereaItcl.-O peiousus

War News,

London, September 6.-Tho Times
Viucna dispatch says the Russians
have abandoned upper Lorn lines and
have withdrawn their right wing on
that side, which was at Poppskoi, to
Il line where they can keep in contact
with the forces guarding the road
from Osman Bazaar. Mehemet Ali
has thus gained an undoubted strate-
gical by his victory at karrasan. All
depends on how he will use it.
The Daily News correspondent
telcyraphs from Gorgova, September
list: The Turks, as the result Of their
victory at Karrasan. occupied a large
mountain forming tho key of the Ras-
CAD position and commanding almost
equally in the Lorn and Russian po-
sition at Obaka and GaSona. The
correspondent says they are acting
solely on the defensive. The Caro-
witch will have little difficulty in
keeping his present line intact with
the possible exception of loss Of the
Gagona position. On the other hand
the Turks are much too strong to be
inactive in the face of an interior
Russian force and the chances arc
great that the valley Of K"la LORI
will soon be tho theatre of II dcci
sive battle of large proportions. z
