The constitutional Amendments.

We begin today the publication of the pro
posed constitutional amendments, by authori'
ty of the Governor of the state. Voters will
be required to vote on them at the November
election. In order to do so intelligently the

them. The ADVOCATE gave a summary OF
them few weeks ago, as follows:
lst-Gives the Governor power to veto
items of appropriation bills.
2d-Prohibits the General Assembly to
alter or amend the charter of any existing
corporation, unless such corporation shall
surrender all claim TO tax exemption and
hold its charter thereafter subject to repeal or
alteration.
3d-Provides that taxes shall be uniform
upon the same kinds of property or class OF
subjects; enumerates property that may be
exempt from taxation, and permits the I'M
position of an income tax.
4th-Gives the. General Assembly power to
extend terms of county commissioners to six
years, and regulate their number, compensa-
ton and powers in each county.

by the General Assembly, to sell the States
interest in works of internal improvements.

Need of a Primary Election Law.

At the primaries in Baltimore county last
Saturday some persons from Baltimore city
attempted to vote illegally, and there is no
law applicable TO their cases. Their presence
was calculated 10 disturb the public peace,
and officers overhaued them. They resisted,
and fought desperately, and charges of resist
ing officers, assault, &C., were laid against
them. They were held in sums varying from
$500 to $500 each to appear at court.
A primary election law is needed for Balti-
more city, and this occurrence shows that the
law ought to be extended to Baltimore county
also 1t would be well to extend it to all
counties adjoining Baltimore city, if not to
the whole state. Loyalty to party rests upon
faith in the purity of primaries. Unless they
are fair and above suspicion, united party
support can neither be demanded not expect
ed. Candidates are not always responsible
for crooked methods used in their behalf, for
over Jealous friends sometimes invoke them
TO carry their aims. Still it would be difficult
for any candidate nominated by irregular
methods to convince the voters of his limo
cence, and he would have to bear the odium,
and parties suffer by the indiscretion-or ras
eality-of few.
If there were judicious and inexpensive
primary election law, purer politics would
result and party fealty would be stronger.
The present law for Baltimore city is optional
in character and not obligatory, and its pro-
lection is not invoked because of alleged ex-
pensiveness. Let another be devised to apply
to Baltimore city and adjoining counties, if
not to the. state, and with primaries under the
protection of the law and the new election
law perfected and extended to the whole
state, the highest degree of purity possible
will be attained.
