The Proposed Amendments to
the Constitution.

The majority of the Constitution
al Commission appointed by the
Legislature decided at their recent
meeting that it was not expedient
at this time to call q Constitutional
Convention. They think the object
desired can be more easily and more
safely accomplished by amend
ments; and they propose and re-
commend several amendments.
One proposed amendment is, that
the Supreme and Circuit Judges be
elected fer life or good behavior.
Another is, that Probate Judges
and County Commissioners be elect.
ed for four years, instead Of two.
Another is, that the State Board
Of Education be composed of the
State superintendent Of Education
and four persons to be appointed
by the Governor, by and with the
consent of the Senate; that this
Board hold Office for four years,
and appoint School Commissioners
for the Counties who shall hold
Office two years.
Another is, to make the term of
State officers and members of the
General Assembly four years in.
stead of two.
Another is. that no new County
shall be formed of less than 400
square miles; the present law re-
quires 625 square miles.

tent in this-of repudiating any part Of
their indebtedness. l have no idea that
the good people of this County have any
sympathy with the movement; but they
should not permit themselves to be mis-

sons who recommend such course.
1t would be poor policy-to say the
least-for any one to sully bis good
