A POWERFUL BODY.

The Constitutional Convention has
raised an issue with the Supreme Court
as to the authority of the Court TO IN
terfere with It's action. An injunction
has been issued to restrain the Conven-
ton from unseating a member. h
Convention determines not to heed the
process Of the Court, taking the bold
and apparently tenable ground that 1t
ia vested with the very highest and
most solemn act OF popular sovereignty
that can be exercised, the construction
of the organic law of the State, and can
have no superior but the people them
selves.
II Is reasonable to suppose that the
Convention Is supreme as to Its actions
and cannot be under the authority Of
a court It may abolish 1t II will.
But IL the Convention Is at liberty TO
disregard the process Of the courts and
to hold itself above their authority. Ia
there not all the more reason that II
should respect public sentiment and
obey the peoples well known will?
Ought n body of such grave impor-
lance, clothed with such vast power and
holding such a sacred trust. degrade It.
self to the position of a partisan body
to fill every office in Its gift and every
one of It's committees with Its poll
teal followers and dependents; to rot
the State by swelling Its patronage &c
an exorbitant and unjust amount, and
to use the power of Its majority to turn
out elected delegates and put defeated
delegates In their places7
Ought 1t to establish an arbitrary eau,
Gus rule. so that the provisions favored
by It's political leaders may be driver
through as party" questions and no

bers"
Fortunately the people OF the Stat,
have to pass on the work of the Conven
ton. however powerful It may be.

A Beautiful Woman.

when she was nearly through her teens
hin 1t a pity she should be a day
older, so much of her beauty seemed to
lie in freshness and innocent expression.
But she has gone from fair to fairer.
One cannot imagine beauty more per-
feet. 1t has regularity. expression, soft
ness, grace, artlessness, composure, and.
in short. is Poesy incarnate. h worst
hearted woman alive afflicted with q

being. She Is wonderfully d%istingue. I

seeing her forgave the woes she brought
upon them. looking like Victor Hugo's
