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. The. Petaluma Argus~ éstimates that it would cost the State
from $300,000 to $500,000 to hold a
hardly afford to pay the experiment.
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

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

clause or sum in the Appropriation
bill.

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.. It is evicourse that will bring itinto disrepute among all intelligent citizens.

played-a difficult piéce on the piano,
and was heartily applauded. Joseph
Jenkins sang a solc which was received with applause. . J. 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

Outrageous Conduct.
»-On Saturday evening, at an early
hour, while Joseph Hylton, and his’
wife and Mrs. Payne were walking
quietly on Church street, Mrs, Hyltou was suddenly scized by a-ruffian
named Chas. Forbes. Mr. Hylton
was a few yards in advance of his
wife at the time, ‘leading a child.
The ‘ruffian tore off her hat and
shawl. Mrs. H. screaméd-and called
for her husband, and for an instant
tore herself from the grasp of the
villain, but the latter pursued her,
seized her by the arm with one hand, .
and by the throat with the other.
By this time Mr. Hylton was on
hand and laid hold of the. scoundrel.
Why he failed to chastise him on the
spot is nrore than we Know, but he
did not. Forbes" was handed over
into the custody of an officer, and
escorted to the calaboose. Tuesday
afternoon he was taken before ‘Justice Keiser and pleaded guilty to the
assult, Sentence was _passod on him
that evening. This is one of. the
most outrageous assaults upon a well

In Lancaster’s lower stable two of
the horses belonging to the Marysville stage are laid up with it, and
one of the Washington stage. Yesterday, two—more horses~belonging

attacked with the disease, and unable to work. Inthe upper stable,
no symptoms of the disease have as
yet made their appearance, although
fumigation is being resorted to as a
preventative. No matter how bad
the ‘‘epizoo’’ may rage here, we understand that Mr. Wellington is determined to have the stage run on

Saran WALKER, seventy three

evil ways; their final and most
