some More Opinions on the subject Of It's
Expediency.
No question has attracted more attention on the
part OF our legislators than that Of constitu-
tional convention. Much interest appears TO be
conferred on this, and both political parties dc.
vote considerable time and talk TO the ubjsot
Last evening there was but small gathering Of
the members OF the Legislature at the 81.
Charles rotunda. but those who were there were
strong in opposition 10 the convention.
HErAroR sAHpIToHp.
when questioned on the subject. said that hs did
not believe greater calamity could fall upon the
State than the holding Of an election nj the
present time for members OF constitutional
convention. In the country the people, at lsast
the thinking people, we're opposed to the move
ment, and 1t was rarely that person could be
met who favored 1t. The people are tired OF poll
tics. aud an election in the spring, coming so
near that which will be held in the fall for State
Treasurer, would initiate much against their in.
terests. Az things now sfe-the negro is fast
growing apathetio as TO politics, having strong
feeling Of perfect security as to his rights under
the present administration-an election would
only serve to distract them from their pursuits.
SENATOR JOHN 70. RaEAux
said that he was in favor OF convention. because,
in his opinion, the submission TO the people at
election Of amendments passed by the Legisla-
lature would meet with only luke warmness. He
does not think, however, that the present
time ia opportune, and an election now would
create much public excitement and tend TO lead
citizens from matters which should engage their
attention.
The people OF tho State do not now desire this
and public opinion would not sanction it.
BENATo. II. o. zAcHARIg
was also opposed TO calling convention now.
He thought the constitution could be more read

who should be selected for their experience aud
ability. In most constitutional conventions
much time IS irittsred away unnecessarily and, as
a rule, in such large bodies there are many who
have but a very vague idea as to the work they
are to perform. He did not believe that at this
time it would be politio to call together such q
body.
SENATOR q. n. BILLS

ABOUT THE RoTUNDA
II was talked that the opposition TO the oonven-
tion WAS only disguised, and that secretly tho
leaders were very deuirous Of bringing together
their scattered forces by some such election as
this would be, so that alliances might be made
for future action.
