TRUE AS GOSPEL, j A Stalemeut In wbleb Reformers and Anils May Agree. Columbia Slate. The Piedmont Headlight, an acknowedged J representative of the "Reformers," announces Its opposition to the calling of a constitutional convention. Its objections, briefly stated, are tbese: 1. Tbat the scheme would entail heavy expense, for which the people are not prepared. 2. Tbat the convention would add to the already deplorable bitterness in our Statepolitics. 3. Tbattbe new Constitution would not be submitted to the people for ratification. 4. Tbat tbese?is danger ;of 1 disfranchising numbers of poor but worthy white men, on the pretext or saving the State from negro rule. 5. Tbat sucb provisions ol the present Constitution as may need alteration can readily beobanged by amendments, subinlted by tbe Legislature to tbe people. Tbese views or the Headlight are doubtless < shared by thousands of "Reformers," and tbe , number of tbese would be largely Increased could tbe people bnt be Informed or tbe dangers of- the scbeme to alter our organic law to meet tbe views of a few politicians. There ityel time rortbe people to be taught tbe folly and Iniquity of the scheme. In this taek ol opening their eyes to its dangers, tbe state papers opposed to tbe scheme should redoublt their efforts between this time and the day ol election. R. M.
