These are words. of pith and vigor, bravely spoken and literally loaded with politieal sagacity. Chandte' New e urnlna floard.'i Chandler succeeded In stealing the electoral vote of Florida In 1870, for which he has been rewarded, and now occupies, thanks to the Republican bosses, a seat in the United States Senate. Ito has just introduced in the Senate a bill which Indloates that, not satisfied with stealing a singlo State, ho proposes to go Into the business on a wholesale edale. His bill provides for the regglation of the Congres sional and Presidential elections in the States of South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and 11lsslssippi by having them conducted by the President and the United States Circuit Judges, who are to have complete control of all matters relating to them, even the registration of yoters. This sinply shows what a tool- this sone Chandli is. It was the .hope of 'the country that when fciddieberger's term' ex. pired the Sohate would be free fronr either idiots or asses, but unfortunate ly Chandler turns up and promises t< eclipse Riddileberger's rgoord. Hii bill Is. a mongtrosity.-itlanta Con stitution. It (Aets its .Just 1)eserts. Ina the matter.of the -Constitutiona Convention the -Senate and the Hous eae ia its turn has become entitled t( three cheers frous the people. The scheme has twice met with we) mnerited failure, it has collapsed, anac - it is to be. hoped that it will not b( . revived, again. But it its advocate will persist in urging it,' if' a nec ConstItution~ we must have, then bi it understood once for all that it amus be lebiaeitum. Articlo'-15 of th<i present Constitution cannot be intelli, genatly construed so ai to admit the possibility of a CIonventioi whli shall not bo bound to submit its worl - to th6e people. "'hae C'onstitutional CJonvention lI the representati've of sovereignty onI1 in a.very qualified sense and for thi specildc purpose and with the restrict ed authority to put in proper form th questions ofamendment upon which th peoplo are to pass; but the changes ii the fudamental law of the State moo be enacted by the,poople themselves.' Cooley on Constitutional Limitations Sec. 84. If, therefore,. the people will no permit a simple amendment to becomi operative without their ratiflentio1 and approval,.is it not very absurd t< suppose that. they will sit supginel: downi and allow the whole structure of the fundameontal law to be torn ul root and branch, by. a handful of moi in convention assembled?

A. P. Butler was ro-olooted Commissioner of Agriettilture. This position he has held since 1879. The continued bien niol testimonial of the worth of thui distingnished citizen is ovidonce that faithftil publio servants ate rewardec in South Carolina. Col. Butler has organized the' Agricultural Depart ment of the State, and has laborod zealously for its improvement. As I man and as an officer, both in war ani peace, he has been honored by h1 followmen. Ordinarily, the olootot of such a man as his own successor would merely signify continued con fidence; but in this instance it>moan m more. Col. Butler has beeo oriticizec in tha severest terms-his administra tion charged with Incompetence ah oxtravagCanc, and as many believe all from peroisonal motives, the actie of the relpresenistives of' the peopl< Swho have~ investI ted the 'oharge S"duty dou. for Col.Bt --TlOR F1IAGRANC.'
