Which was submitted to the people ' few nays ago. The proposition wt defeated by fifteen thousand majorit: In a very light vote. This reopens th whole question aflain. Both the repu diators and those who wish to - pa more than fifty per cent. voted agains the compromise. OLD UWN I)UTLU. is very serious]) alarming the Republicans of Massa chusetts by his gnbernatorial aspira tIonsi Governor Talbot, who boa Butler last year, declines to take thi risk again, and the Blue Bloods ar cAsting about for another strong can didate. They have not yet found an; one to 1111 the bill completely. In th meantime old Strabismus is quieill jaunting about in his yacht leaving hi followers to work up a boom for hin by September. Ben will doubtless b beaten again this year, but he refise to-stay beaten, and the prospect o haviig him to light every year i terrific. At a satfe distance it is mos amusing to watch the fight. New Constitutions. Tile Louisville Courier-Joumal i! much disappointed that the voters o Kentucky failed to give a mijoriti for the proposition to call a constitu. tional convention. The Augusti Chronicle, with its recent experienc4 of the workings of a new constitut iom In'Georgia, congratulates the people o! Kentucky on their good sense or goof luck In defeating the call. Strange m it nuy scern, none of the new consli. tutions appear , to give satistaction, The Georgia copstitution was pro nounced a masterpiece of statesman ship when ;t was first adopted ; bil the fi-st Legislature held under its p'ovisions finds the constitution a lo In its pali wherever it turns. Th California constitution Is the besi abused instrument that has ever beeil adopted for the governanmce of a peo ple. And so'through the whole eata logue. The reflection is mortifying enough but none the less true that th< first framers of the government musi have been more astute than their de. scendanmmts. The difficulty with thest constitutional conventions is that theN nowadays have too many'. Solons anm Solomons In them, too many men win think they know everything, anmd hav< a paniacea for every evil. TIhese gol together and wrangle and confIus< ech other until the whole crew gel befogged, and vote at random. At regular intervals the question o a constitutional conmvenmtionm for~ thil State Is agitated. The presenit con stituition has any nmnber of defects but until the statesmen of Soulh Care hina prove themselves munch wiser thai their compeers in other States, w< wonld rather bear' .the constitutiona Ills we have thman fly to others that w< know not of. It Is to be0 hoped 'that constitutIonal conventioni Is a remot< - bonthngency. Better to patch up the ol fabric with iiuienidments than t< get a brand new gairmient of' uniprce~ dented pattern. We agree wilth th C'hronicle that thme p)eople of Kent uck are to be congratulated oun not huavin a ne0w constItution. A Scandal in High Life.
