LIE CONSTITUTIONAL convention of Ken
lucky, which has been in session 1877 legis-
latlVe days, has completed its work at last
and submits the new constitution that is
to be accepted or rejected by the people of
the blue grass state in 1892 There is small
prospect of the new constitution being sat-
isfactory. The Courier Journal is ex-
tremely bitter in regard to il.
The gentlemen who have prepared
the new draft for the fundamental law of
Kentucky seem to pride themselves on the
fact that the new constitution contains 81.
600 words whereas the old constitution
had but 1850. Referring to this matter
the CouTier-JOur1lal says: eff we omit
from the old constitution the clauses rela-
tive to slavery it will be found that the
new constitution is twice as vollImiuous
as the old, and that its wickedness increase
with its length" In conclusion the
Journal calls on all who believe in popular
institutions, all who believe that a consti-
tuition should not embody a code of laws
but should be merely declaratory of fupda-
mental principles of government to unite
to defeat the new constitution.

NIANITC ENCAMPMENI.

The annual encampment of the little army of Connecticutis is now taking place at Mantle. The camp comprises be- tween 14OO and 15O0 tents. Gov Bulk eley and staff arrived Monday afternoon. The governors tent had been profusely decorated previous to his arrival, and immediately after his arrival he held an impromptu reception and witnessed the brigade dress parade.
 The weather thus far has been very favorable for morning and afternoon drills. On Tuesday Gov Buckeley came near meeting with serious injury. He, with several members of his staff closely grouped together were canter- ing along the road just out of the village when the horse upon which the govern or was mounted, stepped on round stone, fell and rolled over. The gov ernor was thrown violently to the ground, and 8 member of the staff in his immediate rear nearly rode over him. A hack was called and the gov ernor returned to camp. He is some- what bruised on the chest, arm, and leg, and on left side, and will be sore and stiff for day or two but is otherwise uninjured.
