GOOD Headway With His Work.

rv,ove months ago to-day at noon the
VIRGINIA Constitutional Convention OF
,n5.e which viii go down in history as
perhaps ono OF the most distinguishes
bodies that ever sat in the state as
scnbled in the State Capitol, charged Win
tho responsible duty of framing a ne"
organic law for the people.
Taxing out all vacations. the convention
was actually in session about ten mentns
and never did any body In the same
length of time accomplish so much gooo
work under SO many difficulties and en-
harassnents. The body passed through
.,e or,,ea, Of a fierce State campaign
With the charge being made everywhere.
Thai q large proportion of the Wh1e
voters of the State were to be dis1ran-
chised and divers aud sundry other CAM
n.,rn stories were spread abroad in the
land. But the great question of suffrage
u.as the one that afforded most OF the
,l;ft,cultfes in the body itself, and in en-
rjeayori,1s to settle it and keep within the
,,ale Of the Fifteenth Amendment 10 the
I:,-ited States Constitution was the ques-
fioa.
That great mountain range known as
the Blue Ridge divided the State, as IL
had done in former conventions on .ne
esne Issue. and what would meet condi-
1ions IN the BLACK Belt would not sat
jsfy the great white race in the west.
Frt This and other difficult situations
were met and long ere the twelve montiis
mark had been reached the people were
c:yr an instrument which has been called
flc most splendid governmental iaprlc
In all the American Union
IA seems very likely that the resolution
nerered nv Mr.. Meredith providing that
rr1,en the convention adjournS after us
short and probably last session on Jube
ostt, 3; he to meet on the call OF the
president. should there by any possibility
mise the necessity for a further meeuns.
re this action is taken. as now seems
likely, 1t will be purely precautionary
&c nearly every Democrat IN the cohNen-
4ion has absolute faith in the staying
Qualities of their work. But If by chance
anything shall be done to upset the work
which the body might by another meeting
prevent, the members think they shouio
ia In a position to meet the emergency.
Hon. John Thompson Brown, VINO is

resolution, and there are many 'otners.
