Constitutional conventions are the order of the day atthe East, anil sevetal have lately beer held and others . provided'for. There are many serious defects in the Constitution: of California which was framed nearly twenty-four years ago, and we wonld consider it desirable for the next Legislature to provide for the assembling of a convention’ to amend the Constitution, were itnot for the large expense andthe great uncertainty that any: improvements would be made.

Amendments can be effected threugh the Lagislature and a vote of the people, without a convention, and it is nearly certain that important amendments will be introduced at, the next session, the peopleshould see to it thatthe men are elected to ‘the Senate and Assembly who are capable of acting intelligently on the question that will be presented. . The Constitution of Ohio provides that a Constitutional ‘Convention shall be held every twenty years, and the last Legislature accordingly provided for the election of members ‘of a convention. .The election was held last Monday. Party lines were bus, April 11th, states that the pendent Kepublicans, 3; Regular County, 42;in Hamilton County, 5 Democrats and 1 Liberal Republican, and 4 candidates are elected whose names are~on both tickets. Both Democrats and Republicans claim the Convention, but until the official returns are read, it ig impossible to know which party will have amajority in the Convention, —_———-_+» Good for Pennsylvania. One of the fashionable forms of legislative thieving is the insertion ‘of items of plunder in the General the ordinary expenses of the Gov-. ernment, These bills might be prepared early in the session, but~ are usually kept back till the last week and-are rushed through amid a _ter. “rifle crowd of business, often-on the Then every member is anxious to get at some favorite measure of his own and willing to accept, in silence and.haste, many objectionable things which~he would at other times strenuously ‘oppose. The Committees which make up.the Appropriation bills can néf only insert . whatever items suit-them; but will. contend for them and cause delay in case of opposition, so the rule is,that stealing, when it goes into the GenThe Pennsylvania Convention propose to spoil the plunder game by allowing the Governor to vetv any clause or sum in the Appropriation bill. _————— se, In Bad Repute. The Sacramento Bee is making it very lively for its cotemporary, the Union, because of its opposition to the establishment of the Branch State Prison at Folsom. In this controversy the Union has the worst of the argument, and will undoubtedly, make itself still more obnoxious to the people of its own county who are particularly interested in the devel-. ' opment of the water power at Fol‘som, The Union of last Saturday also contained an article reflecting severely upon the people of Oakland, because the vote of that city was not cast forits pet candidate*for Congreas-at the last election..

E.Brown sang ‘‘There’s where you make a mistake,” a comie production which delighted the audience. Miss Flora Cornell next read the manuscript paper, which contained many very éxcellent productions. Next followed the disenssion of the railroad hill proposed by the executive committee, most. of the time being taken up inthe discussion of points of order and amendments. The discussion caused a good deal of athusement, and wasa fair specimen of the parliamentary tactics often resorted toin the California Legislature. A lady who had never’ seen legislative wheels in . motion, ‘finally suggested that the members*engaged in the discussion be sent to Stockton,as they evidently manifested strong symptoms of insanity. Finally a substitute was offered and the whole matter laid over antil next Mondayevening, when it is proposed. the question of a lseal railroad-will be discussed upon its merits. pM Poe RGIS ay Oe Emanuel Charch, Last Mondiiy evening the annual, or Easter meeting of the Vestry of Emanuel (Episcopal) Church, took place.
