AN IMPORTANT, ELECTION.

The election for the adoption or re-
lection of the new Constitution of Cali
fornia, which takes place Wednesday,
May 18th, is considered the most impor-
tant ever held in the Golden State. So
great is the interest taken in the con-
stitutional question that business is al
most at standstill in San Francisco,
the people, from the nabobs of Mob
Hill to the scavengers of Front street
devoting the greater part of their time
to it's discussion. Ordinarily, profess
sional lawyers differ as to the meaning
and construction of different clauses of
the organic law, but in California, for
the time being, everybody is self-con-
stituted constitutional lawyer, a second
Webster, at least in his own estimation.
Men discuss the relative merits of the
present and proposed constitutions,
who probably never read either, and if
they had are mentally incapable of com
pretending their provisions or deter
mining which is best for the interests of
the majority. There are undoubtedly
Objectionable clauses,in the new as well
as in the old Constitution, but able
lawyers participated in, framing it, and
it is almost impossible for it to be as
bad as many of those who oppose it's
adoption represent it to be. 1t is true,
that all the corporations and their or
gans are opposed to the new Constitu
ton, but experience has taught the
people that it ought not to be con-
demned for that reason. 1t cannot, as
is charged by some of those who oppose
it, be truthfully styled. a sand lot
production" The Workingmen were
in minority I'M the Convention which
framed it, and it is, in reality, the
work of nom Partisans, Workingmen,
Republicans and Democrats. Many
lawyers of acknowledged ability voted
for it's adoption in the Convention. OF
the, IS nom Partisans elected. toframe it
So voted for it, and all the Democrats
and nearly all the Republicans in the
Convention did likewise: It is hardly
possible, under these circumstances,
that the new Constitution is as black as
tits painted by its opponents, or that
! California will suffer to any great extent
by its adoption. 1t contains many
good features not in the old Constitu-
ton, and it provides an easy method of
remedying its objectionable ones by
amendments.

Some time ago steps wen taken by
James Mcconnell and Luke +. Cozzens,
and two Democratic lawyers OF New
York, to establish a new Democratic or
ganization for the purpose OF harmon
zing the Democratic factions in the
State on issues other than local ones
Whether the movement was started IN
the interest of Tilden for the Presl-
dency or of the opposing faction cannot
be stated at present, but it is claimed
to be exclusively the purpose OF the or
ganization to cement the Democratic
party. Several meetings have been
held. One took place at the st. James
Hotel last night. The meetings have
been kept strictly private, but 1T was
learned that constitution had been
adopted and committee appointed to
nominate officers to be elecced at the
next meeting, April goth. The name
of the association is ''The Democratic
Union of the City of New York"

THE San Francisco Exchange says:
''The Virginia Footlight suggests that a
statue. of the late Governor Bradley,
commemorating him and his honesty,
be erected in front Of the Capital,
where the statue would be visible from
the windows of the Senate and As
sembly Chamber. The suggestion IS
not good. A Pacific Coast sculptor
would probably be intrusted with the
making of it, and it would be so hideous
that even honest officials would steal in
order to preclude similar assault upon
their persons after death.

CONCERNING LEGISLATION.

Sp<cia. t,orrtsnondenee OF The Tribune
MILWAUKEE, Feb. S.--During the present
week attention has been attracted to the legis-
letive proceedings, in consequence Of the intro
duc;ion Of several measures OF particular i'm
rortance to the City Of Milwaukee, inasmucll as
they embody radical reforms. One OF these
bills, introduced by Assemb1yman .keogh, is
aimed at oflice-seekers and oftlce-hoIders. 1t
prohibits participation In contracts By members
ct any branch OF the City Government. It also
prevents the solicitation Of petty positions for
friends. AS this bill comes from lifelong
Democrat, it must be accepted rs all acknowl-
edgment that Milwaukee has, for term OF
years at least, passed out Of the hands OF the
Democracy and into the hands of the Re-
pub1icans. Otherwise no effort would BIZ made
to destroy the power which the Democrats
have welded SO long and so SUCCESS
fully through the distribution of posi-
tions to those VINO perform dirty work at the
POLLS and in 7he caucuscs. Another bill, intro
cuced BY Assemblyman Wall, proposes the crea-
ton OF Board of, Sewer Commissioners, three
in number, who are named therein, for the pur-
pose of rcmedying our defective sewerage sys-
ten. This question of sewerage has become an
important one with our citizens The defects
