Constitutional Convention

Oxford Falcon: Our Legislature has
done two things which should ever he
appreciated by all well-iniormed Mis-
sissippians. We refer to passing bill
for n Constitutional Convention and
the repeal of the agricultural lien law.
The latter subject we have referred to
elsewhere, and We desire now TO in.
dorse the bill for a Constitutional Con.
vention. The present constitution
does'not satisfy the masses Of the rea-
soning people of Mississippi, and il
should be thoroughly pruned, dissect-
ed and amended, Besides this, il is OF
carpet-bag and scalawag" origin,
framed and intended from the outset
TO keep parties in power and as a
money-making instrument. Let the

TARIFF lINKERING.
The Fate That Awaits Mr.. MOrrl-
sons Hill.

New York, March l2,-The Sun this
morning says: "No sensible or well
informed man can have the slightest
doubt ms to the fate which awaits Mr..
Morrison's new effort in tariff tinker
ing. Whatever becomes of it, how
ever, rs Il whole, those clauses OF his
bill which relate to the products of
the forest should receive the careful
study and attention of the present
Congress. The natural resources OF
the country should be protected just
as much ms its industries. No system
of protection ever devised can prop
erly be extended so as to needlessly
destroy natural deposit like lumber
of limited quantity, upon which hun
dreds of industries are entirely de-
pendent for raw material. This idea
is now so generally adopted by a few
manufacturers and owners of pine
timber, that a proposition to put all
foreign lumber upon the free list
would probably be favorably received
and acted upon by Congress"

Labor Meeting at wAshInxtOn.

WAsmNGToN, March ia mass
meeting of Knights OF Labor was held
here last night and was addressed by
John Jarrett of Pittsburg. Mr.. Jarrett
reviewed the progress of labor unions,
and showed that it was only through
organization that the laboring people
could better their condition. He con-
trasted the condition of the American
laborer with that of his European
brother, and dwelt strongly upon the
benefits of protective tariff. He APP
pealed to the men to stand by their
organizations, and to band together
and oppose all legislation detrimental
To their interests.

both on Queen and Yonge street
routes. Each car is manned by half
dozen policemen.
The mob now content themselves
with hooting and yelling at the police,
but further rioting is feared. The
police magistrate has instructed the
chief of police TO call out the militia

force he has at his command at present
is sufficient to enforce the law. II is

WOMEN LAWYERS List of the States In Which They Have Keen 6m fl led to Prac1ace

Been A dm 1t ted to Practice
 Damon Y. Kilgore, Esq, of the Philadel- phia bar, recently wrote to Perry & Martin, attorneys at law, Qadies,) Chicago, inquiring as to the number of ladies practicing law in the United States The junior partner of the firm, Ellen s. Martin, in her reply sad:
 My investigation last year resulted iii finding AS women who had been admitted to the bar and engaged in practice or some line of lawyers work (editing law reports or periodicals) in the United States. I have heard of others since, but as it was too late for my purpose I have not followed them up. There many more women who have studied and been admitted, but they have not practiced.
 '"The AS in actual practice distributed as follows: q give the place of first admis- sion-some have changed location. l give the States in the order in which they first admitted women.) Iowa, 3; Missouri, 2; Michigan, 6; Utah Territory,1; District of Columbia, 3; Maine, 1; Ohio, 4; Illinois, 7; Wisconsin, 5; Indiana, 3; Kansas,S; Mime 1; Massachusetts, 1; Nebraska, 1; Washing ton Territory, 1; Pennsylvania. 1. Total, 4S.
 The admission in all these States is to the highest courts except in the case of Pennsyl- vania. Women have also appeared as attor- neys in several of the local courts of Mary land and have been admitted to United States courts in Texas and Oregon-thoughn not to the State courts.
 "Women were admitted on the first appli- cation without any change of the law in Iowa, Missouri, Michigan, Utah, District of Colum- bia, Maine, Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kan sas; Connecticut, Nebraska, and Washington Territory. In Wisconsin and Ohio after some women had been admitted others were refus- ed by other judges, and the legislatures at once passed laws forbidding the exclusion. In Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota and California the courts would not admit wom- en until laws were passed, and the legisla- lures promptly passed them.
 "The first admission of a woman occurred in Iowa in 1869, when the statute provided only for the admission of white male persons over the age of 21 years Both the words 'white' and male soon after dr opped out of the statute. In the other States where women were admitted on first application there ex- isted either the common law on the subject, (whatever that may bel or the words 'mals' 'eitizen,' or voter was in the statute relating to admission of attorneysD
