transferred TO the jefferson Market prison.
A close watch was placed uuon him, aud it
was discovered that while he would not help
himself TO anything he would eat if food
was placed in his mouth.
Yesterday morning William II. Crane
and Frank Lane, the actors, who were Wis
iting the prison as guests of Justice Ford,
ran across Downey. After seeing him fed
and trying valnly for half an hour tu start
a conversation with him, they declared that
he was one of the most remarkable men
that they had ever seen. Mr.. Ora hkoncd
him to the Man in the Iron Mask, while his
companion thought he resemblcI the Strang-

Jet may be At all event, he has succeeded

Gov. Lowry Opposed to Constitu-
tional Convention.
JACKSON, MISS, Jan. "a Gov. Lowry
to-day returned to the Senate, where it
originated, the bill providing for an election
in August for delegates to a constitutional
convention, to assemble in September pro-
vided that a majority of the votes cast at
the election should be in favor of calling a
convention, with message giving his rea-
sons for disappearing the measure. At the
outset tine Governor expresses regret that
his solemn conviction of duty pre-
vents his agreeing with the CO
ordinate branch of the government. His
convictions are 50 positively against the
measure that no would be unfaithful to the
trust cOnfided in him if he failed to assume
the responsibility of Withholding his APP
prova 1t is not clear that there are fea-
lures in the present constitution SO odious
and Objectionable to the people as to inn
peratively demand a change by a conven-
ton. Sentimentalisnl- always an unsafe
guide-he fears is an important factor in
the denunciation of the present constitu-
ton. 1t is for tho most part the constitu-
ton of our fathers. being little else than
transcript from that valuable work.
GOOD CAN COME OUT OF NAZARETH.
True, it was submitted by aliens, but it
has long since been proven that ''gOOd can
come out of Nazareth" He argues that the
time is inopportune and refers to an era of
prosperity upon which, he says, our people
are entering The people are not in a
frame of mind for such a thing.
He refers to the great diversity
of opinion on the changes to be effected, and
cites the election and questions of regulat-
ing suffrage and limiting the office of Gov
ernor to one term as rocks upon which the
ship might be wrecked He argues that
the changes demanded 10y the people could
best be effected by submitting amendments,
and submits that Limitation touching the
tenure of the office of Governor to one term
might be determined upon by declaration
upon the subject by the Democratic State

DANGEROUS GROUND.
The question of qualifying the suffrage,

a storm with the labor of the State as was
never before witnessed i'll Mississippi The
! Governor. in conclusion, S1ys that there is
no demand by the people for a constitutional
convention. He refers to the power
which the convention would have
should it assemble, being only restrained by
its own discretion and the constitution of
the United States, and fears that those who

the convention would be powerless TO con

houses with hut little objection, the veto
was unexpected. 1t is said that when the
question of Overruling the Governors veto
comes up on Thursday next, when the ques-

two-thirds vote will not be found, though
the debate will doubtless be warm, this being
considered the most important measure be-
