OUR -HoUSE.-A judicious ad-
yance-agent, proper advertising, and 2ttrac-
tive show-bils conspicuously posted, will,
nine times out OF ten, draw full houses Mt a
place Of amusement, whether the play Is
well, known or. meritorious. But IL it
proves unworthy, the people in Richmond
will never go to see it but once.
"Our Boarding-House" was we'll adyer-
tised, the boards were covered with snowy
posters, and the Theatre last nightwas con-
sequently crowded-it was q splendid au-
dience--and we expected TO see u side-split-
ting, though refined, comedy. The press had
heralded the play as being most enjoyable,
and the newspapers here had been induced to
expect a most interesting performance. In
some respects it was. But the play itself
possesses little or no merit, and il it had not
been for the amusing situations with which
it abounded, and the attractive, pretty, and
vivacious Betty, it would have been failure.
Betty was the house-girl-the unfortunate
and ever.abused but popular house-girl OF
"Our Boarding House "-who was, we
confess, the redeeming feature Of the occa.
sion. This was the EAST: Professor Grega

The Constitution.

Last week we took the position that the
Convention should prom gate the Con-
stitutiunal law without its submsson to
the people. The reasons for this course
are apparent, yet there are difficulties in
the way.
1t is the opinion of many good lawyers
that the Constitution must be submitted
10 the people il the ordinance creating the
Convention contains clause declaring
that the people must vote upon the organic
law. Indeed the weight Of authority
seems To demand this submission, but il
j. held hy other, that il the new Consiitn-
ton shorld create certain qualifications
for electors that only those qualified under
the new law may he permitted To vote on
The ratification. The opinions among the
more intelligent delegates are 81 many and
various that we fear that many difficulties
will lie in the Way Of conclusion.
Honest delegates will desire to discharge
their duty without a fear Of consequences,
and IN this one feature of their labor+
their discretion and i,,.o.h will be sorely
tried.
II l. undoubtedly t. the truc and real
interest of the whole state that no cleo
ton should hc held for any purpose This
year, and as We have already shown it is
dangerous to these Interests to submit the
Constitution. We hope that way may
he inurd on, Of the difficulty hat will he
honorable an! just.
