The Constitutional Convention of New
Hampshire, the sixth in the history of
that state, did not have long conven-
ton, but il was u working body Of sen-
sibe and practical men. lts whole eX-
pense TO the State Treasury was sl6,iI0.
1t decided to submit seven amendments to
the people, including one for prohibition
of the manufacture and sale of intoXica-
ting liquors. One of the amendments
submitted is 10 change the meetings Of
the Legislature from June 10 January.
The female suffrage proposition was dis
cussed in the Convention, but the decision
was decidedly against it. Vermont recent
ly in her Legislature voted against it with
much larger majority than she did two
wears ago. The sober, sturdy sense Of
both these States is evidently averse to
the revolutionary innovation.
The y. Y, Tribune says that the world
has been greatly concerned about Stanley
for twenty months. Perhaps the most
lib is his INCONSISTENCIES of the interest
taken by Christendom in his fate. He
energies on the upper waters of the Aru-
whimi after protracted and apparently
inexplicable absence on one of the most
remarkable missions in the annals of
heroic adventure, and he can hardly spare
words for the bare announcement that he
has been with Emn and that the men with
him are we'll. His mind is engrossed with
his unfinished work and the necessity for
acquiring The cooperation Of Tippoo lib.
The details of his journey and the circum-
stances in which Emin was left are unre-
corded. His mission is unaccomplshed,
and Tippoo Tbs aid must he sought by
diplomatic means. With his wonderful
faculty for cajoling and conoiliating native
chiefs, he invites the assistance and APP
peals to the self-interest Of his good friend
at Stanley Falls.
