A COnsalaaai0AaI COnVentiOn.
Already this subject Is being agitAt-
ed in both houses of our Legislature.
Mr.. Street, In the House, hss taken &C.
lion looking to Its early consideration,
and Senator West hss offered . Fesolu-
ton TO instruct the Judiciary Commit
tee of the Senate to prepare . bill to
secure q Convention. We earnestly
trust the Legislature will kill this ef.
fort promptly and tFscluAlly. Moth
ing could be more untimely, and We
believe unnecessary, than the holding
of q Convention in this State now.
Il is unlimely, because MlS issippl is
in no condition to be racked by the pO'
litlcal excitement that would inevitably
ensue. The State needs rest, the peo-
pie, white aud black, need time to
work. II is unnecessary, because the
State can easily accomplish any greatly
needed changes at the general elections
as they ensue. But these are small OBJ
jections compared to the one of ex-
pence. A Constitutional Convention
would cost this State, directly and in.
directly, nearly bali million of dol
lars.
II would involve the expense of two
elections, one for the delegates, and
one fof the ratification OF the work Of
the Convention. The cost Of the. Con.
venlion itself would be heavy, and the
indirect expense necessarily borne by
the people would be equally as heavy.
We are confident the advocates of the
Convention cannot show benefits that
will. balance these objections, aud these
are but few of those that can be urged.
Verify, the people should watch their
Legislature, for this beginning by a
Great Relrenchment and Reform body,
ip, 10 say the least Of it, startling. The
sppetile for economy will be but poor
ly fed by plunging the State anew into
useless political agitation, and tho ex.
penditure of half million dollars.
