As TO XIII.

The New York World is not HILL organ
but it is recognized IN its own State as
friendly to that gentleman. For this rea-
son we regard the following editorial
announcement as important. The Word
saws;
"The World does not believe in third terms fol-
one thing, and for another IL Is aware OF the fact
that Governor uill has pat his own nomination
completely out of the question In the most en-
phatic way possible, and has been elected to
another Office, which he will assume when Con-
gress meets The World does not want Governor
Hin nominated for third term and Governor
HIN does not intend that anything of the kind
shall happen"
This paragraph refers to Mr.. HnL's sup.
posed candidacy for Governor of New
York. II will be noticed that the World
saws never a word as to the presidency.
This fact may be taken as evidence, as far
as it goes that Governor HILL is not averse
TO being considered an aspirant to the frs.
Office in the nation.
But if the election of Governor HILL TO
another Office Omitted States senator).
which he will assume when Congress
meets, disqualifies him for Governor, how
happens it that he can be considerable;
undoubtedly he Is considered-as promi'
nent in the list of presidential possible
tias .

The New Kentucky Constitution.

We gave TO our readers some time ago
few of the most striking features of the
Constitution of Kentucky ratified recent
~ by so large q majority Of the voters.
We promised to give others Of the features
of the instrument. Here is one which
seems to be only fair and just. We quote:
.'section 80. The General Assembly shall
have no power 10 limit the amount 20 DO re-
ceivod for injuries resulting IN death, or for in
juries 10 person or property"
Here are two other sections which are
worthy Of special attention:
"seciion 81. No act, except.general appro-
priation bills. shall become a law until ninety
DAYS after the adjournment q the session at
which II was passed, except In cases Of omer-
goucy whom, by the concurrence OF a majority Of
tho members elected 20 each house OF the Gene
raj Assembly, by yea-and-aay vote, entered
upon their journals, an &C; may become a law
when ap ,roved by the Governor. but the reasons
for the emergency that lustifes this action must
BE- SO, cut at length In the Journal Of each house.
"section So. No bill shall become law until
the same shall have been signed by the pre-
siding officer " each Of the tvo houses In open
session and before such officer shall have fixed
his signature " any biii he shall suspend all
be read, and that he will sign the same 10 the end
she, It may become a Law. The btu shall then be
read at length and compared; and, II cor
rectiy enrolled, he shall, Ia presence OF tho
House In open scssion aud before any other
business is entertained, sfix hts signature,
which fact shah be noted In tho Journal,
and he bli immediately sent 20 the other house.
When It reaches tho other house. the presiding
ofioer thereof shall immediately suspend all
other basners, announce the reception Of the
bill, and the same proceeding shall thereupon
be obscryoc IN every respect as In the house In
which Is was first signed. And ,hereapon she
CLERK Of the latter House shall immeii pre-
cent the same 10 the Governor for his signature
and approval"
The following provision is both new and
good:
"whenever committee refuses or falls to ro-
port bill submitted 70 II 10 q reasonable time,
tho Same may DO called up by any member,
and, BY consent, DO considered In the same man
ner It would have boon considered II IL had been
reported"
