Instruct Them.

Now it is going to come 10 the
question of what the people want,
regarding the constitutional conven-
ton. The people will elect the dele
gates, and it is for them to pledge
the delegates on the question of sub

And there are other things that
the delegates might be asked to stand
for when elected. Their position on
the subject of Acknowledgement, their
ideas upon taxation, their views on
public school appointments, the
revision of the judicial system, all
are features that should be clearly
understood While it is true that
the men who will be elected to sit in
the convention will have the conf
dence of the people it does not do to
lose sight Of the fact that unless the
delegates are instructed as to what
DIS constituents WILL expect, he will be
free to act as be may choose. The
referendum will give the people
an opportunity to pass upon the
conventions work, but no pains
should be spared in the way of pre-
caution at the election to eliminate
as far as possible the probability o
a refusal on the part IF the people t.

Mule and Horse Colt, TWINS,

Two gentlemen from Tennessee,
stopping 1T the Coffee house last
Saturday, related a very unusual, if
not remarkable incident. They said
that they saw on the farm Of Mt. C..
II. McGhee, a prominent farmer Of
Morristown, Tennessee, two colts,
one mule and the other u horse,
both dropped by the same mare.
The mare, after being bred to Jack,
was bred to u horse nine days later,
and at the proper time, just nine
days apart, the mare dropped mule
and horse colt. The mule colt was
dead when foaled. The horse colt
lived. Both colts were perfectly
formed aud natural, and MIR. McGhee
could see no reason why the mule
colt should have come dead. This
occurred last spring, and was seen
by the gentlemen who related the
occurrence, and who gave the name OF
Mr.. McGhee, OH whose farm it oc
Cured. Do any of our readers know

Our Delegate.

Now, that the constitutional con.
yention is arranged for. as far as the
time and place is concerned, 1t re-
mains for the counties 10 arrange for
their representation in the conyen-
ton. Tazewell should be represented
in this convention by one OF her
ablest and best men. A county con-
vention should be called aud dele
gate selected by the people, irres-
pecGve of political consideration.
Who will be the delegate? There
are several gentlemen among us who,
while not seeking the offie are willing
to accept, if rendered by the people.
There is plenty of time to look the
field over and to select the best man.
Let a convention be called, AMI let
this important matter be settled.

The Work Finished.

The Legislature has finished its
work and adjourned. The constitu-
tional convention is to be composed
of one delegate from each Legislative
district, delegates to be elected at
the May election, AMI the convention
to meet in Richmond, June II. No
provision was made tor the election
of delegatesat- arge, a mistake
as many think, but if the people Sc
lect their delegates with care all will
go we'll.

The Importance and gravity of the
work OF the constitutional convention

realized by the people of the State.

He'll.

Since the publication of two articles
in the News on the above subject we
have received Others along the Inc
of the no-hell theory. After giving
the matter a good deal OF Thought
we have reached the conclusion that
it is best not to publish these com
munications. These discussions are
in the nature of controversy, and
little good ever comes from, aud few
are ever convinced by,newspaper con-
troversy, on questions upon which
good men honestly differ, and which
it is impossible to settle. Further
more, we doubt the good arising from
such discussions.
There are great numbers OF
people held in check, possibly, from
the committal OF crime and helped in
some degree in leading a good life
by the fear ofhell. The Bible seems
to have been writton with this in
view. The hotter you make it the
better for some people--the good
will not be injured or hin6ered there
by. We think it best to let the mat
ter rest where the scriptures seem to
put it The Bible says that sin will
be punished eternally, and it docs DO
harm, but good in our opinion, to be
heve this. 1t might do infinite harm
in some cases, to create a doubt.
For these and other reasons, we
must, with all due respect to our
honored contributors, decline to pub
lish these communications. We
thank them for their interest, an in
vIte them to write for us on other
subjects, not quite so warm.

The Constitutional Convention.
(Oommunicated.)

EDITOR News:
The Legislature has met and done
its work, and while what they have
done may not be entirely free from
criticism, it is done and must be &C
copied. The most important part
is now to be done by the people
themselves, and that is the election
of men to make the new constitution.
II the proper men are sent to Rich
mond we need not fear the result.
Virginians may be trusted as in the
past, to Iise to the occasion and do
the right thing. 1t has been many
years since such body has met in
the Old Commonwealth. The I'm
derwood crowd were not Virginians.
The eyes of the whole country will
be turned to Old Virginia in this
trying time. There are still true and
wise men amongst US who have the
interest of the State at heart, and
who can be trusted to frame such
laws as the whole State and country
will be proud of. OF course. only
such as these will be selected, for
upon these alone can we depend. 1t
is encouraging to notice that the
counties, generally, are talking of
their best men only, as delegates.
Russell wants Hon. Henry Stuart;
Wise, Hon. Rufus A. Ayers; Wytbe.
Hon. j. b Fulton, &c. These are
good men, and Tazewell should fol-
low the example of these counties,
and select gentleman who, from
experience, wisdom and character
will reflect honor upon his people.
AS is we'll known, the Republicans
can send delegate from Tazewell
if they wish, and should this trust be
imposed upon member of this par
ty let It fall upon such a man as A. p
Gillespie; or Geo. W. Gillespie, one
prominent lawyer and land owner
and the other "a successful banker
and business man-neither of whom
seek the position, but either of whom
the peopleEcould trust. Should thu
Republicans decide, las it is rumoreC
that they willy not to send delegat,
then let the responsibility fall upol
such shoulders as Major r. r. Henry
Judge S. G. Graham, j. w. Chap
man, or some other of our leadinI
men. Either of the gentlemen woul
ell the bill. and l believe, be accer
table to the people. At any rat
whoever is selected let him be til
very best, for only to such an on
should this great duty be entrusted

Extra Session Enoeo.

The work for which it was called
having been done. the Legislature
adjourned yesterday evining. The
Governor is believed to have been
rei> "tant to sign the constitutional
convention bill in the form in which
1t passed; but if so he concluded il
was his duty in "a mere matter of
expectancy TO yield his opinion IN
Tue Legislatures. The Governor
always has been of the opinion that
the framing of a new constitution
could be done by small BODY of
nen, whereas the bill provides for 81
convention of one hundred. Tbetwo
houses were very successful in limit
ing general legislation. The treasu.
ry was zealously guarded. There
was no appropriation for penitontiarv
enlargement, nor was any expected

But the Legislature appointed a
commission to report at the regular
session what is the best method of
renewing the congested condition of
the mems cells. That Was the hest
thing that could be done under the
circumstances, we think. The work
done by the friends ofprison enlarge
ment Will bear good fruit in the
future one way or the other.
The Legislature also appointed
commission to report upon the CON
dition of the Capitol building. and
another to report Oh the question of
good roads, and another on the Tor
rens system of land titles, and anOtb.
er on the method of keeping State
accounts. The last was the SEQUEL

that 1t made such a requirement as
1t did upon the submission question.
But all good Democrats are disposed

Is to select good men to represent

The question of submitting the

issues in the selection of delegates
to the June Convention. In MANY
instances delegates will be instructed
on this point. There l. a division

constitution shall be submitted tc all

disfranchising a large number of
citizens and then submit the new

be done. The convention may have
