following years, to wit:
1875 mills on the dollar.
1880 mills on the dollar.
1876 -16h mills on the dollar.
1877-15 mills on the dollar.
They are now only three-fifth Of what

Constitutional Convention.
ILafayttte Advertiser

The press Of the State is almost unani-
nous In the opinion that our constitu-
ton Is defective and requires some ma
terial and important changes, among
which are reorganization of the judi
ciary system, limiting the legislative
power within proper bounds, and cur
failing all expenses Of government.
There seems to be little difference Of
opinion in REGARD to the necessity of
these measures among those who have
no other interest or motive than the
public welfare. There are, however,
different views advanced as to the time
and manner of effecting these changes.
The plan universally followed in all
the States, when it became necessary to
make general and important changes
in the organic law, was to do so by
means Of a convention representing all
the people. This practice also COM
mends itself as being in consonance
with Democratic ideas and principles.
The possibility Of the tenures OF the ex-
listing Offices being interfered with, has
aroused the opposition Of Office holders
generally to a convention, and probably
also to any material change in the con-
stitution. Groundlees fears have also
been expressed that the civil rights Of
the colored people might be disturbed.
The objection on account Of the ex-
pense has no force whatever, since the
probable saving to the State in the re-
organization Of the judiciary alone, in
one year, would more than pay all the
expenses OF convention.
