1.-THE Convection met April 81. 1t has
now been in session forty days. In II
days their time is up Yet it is rumorel
down there that about the 1st of July,
the Convention will talk a recess until
fall. IF it does, it simply recesses itself
ont of existence. The Act calling the Con-
vention provides for SO day session, but
that the members should be paid only
ST per day per statesman. The Act calling
the Convention was not merely o legis-
lativo restriction but the people ratified
that Act by electing Delegates to the Con
Tention, With tho express understanding
that they remain in session only sixty
days. The people selected men to 4, n
specified work in specified time, and we
would like to know where ON earth they
get the authority to remain in session one
month longer than the people direct.
Tho people called this Convention;
not the Delegates. When we said at the
polls, 90 days, we meant 60 days. If The
Convention can remain in session one
honr over that tinlo it can generation,
or until 1T talks itself to death, which
would not be quite that long. 1t may ad-
journ until fall, but when it meets it will
not be as body representing the interests

EJ The enforcement of the laws against

ana, has caused much hostile comment
by the Radical press of the country. They
overlook tho fact that their own strong

been made to remove them from the Sta

that ''no white person shall intermarry

UNNATURAL OBSTHUCTIONS.-Cert
fundamental laws of nature are demand.
ed by tho human organism. AS life re-
quires constant and regular action, there
is necessarily Il continual wearing out of
material and II corresponding accumula
tion of etlete matter, which must be
thrown off through the different channels
of the system. This is absolutely ueces-
s.ry to a healthful acUion of tho human
machine; but should these channels of
egIess become obstructed, or bloc ked up,
disease and suffering would be tho legit-
innate result. Nearly all females, married
or single, at stated times suffer from these
distinctions, leading to headache, leuc-
orrhoea, loss of appetite, hysteria, pro-
lapsus, loss of color, prostration, enacia-
tion, etc. There is one remedy which
wi | cure this condition of female life
known as English Female Bitters, the
