L . VOL-HALE
A CONVMiTION PROPOSED
.
1 Mr. MAx.x, of Potter county, hes In—!
froduced into the House of Representa- 1
Lives at Harrisburg. a joint resolution i
Submittiiii the question of holding a
Convention to revise the Constitution to
the people at the electlm to be held net ,
October. Of course, this resolution does'.
not contain a scheme of amendments,
desirable or undesirable. Such embodi
inent would be out of place in a proposi
tion of thissort. Only the naked ques
tioni>presented of allowing the people,.
through representatives chosen for that
special purpose, to alter or modify the
organic law under which they live.
This question will not necessarily in
volve any other; nor is it probably that
'it could be made to assume a party char
i
oder; .If the Convention should be do
, eldest upon, It is now likely some of the
Changes submitted would become mat
ters of party contention; but even this
result could hr measurably avoided by
[
appointing a special election for the
stilleation or rejection of the instrument,
either_as a whole or in separate sections.
Probably every thoughtful man in the
poaimonwealth would be glad to have
he Censtitation changed in one or more
.articular. It la reasonable to presume
at if a Convention should be halo pub.
ic opinion, as to changes, would be
onnd in a somewhat chaotic condition,
ut a decided majority would concur
demanding tunentiments on certain
.cad..
Whether the present is a suitable time
o take up this matter may well be de
bated in view of results developed else
itere. We have fallen upon a impel
smeary epoch as to ideas; and hence
!there la no small amount of Incertitude
'and ferment It seems to no that the
period appipriate to discussion hes not
yet been exhausted, and that to precipi
tate a verdict on either of several points
would at best be to consume time and
means to no avail, and might throw td
thnate consummation still-farther into
the future. We apprehend this lithe
View the Legislature will adopt,, and
upon which its action will be bared.
We do not make these stiggestions be
cause we are anzicres to escape respon
sibility on any of the points likely to
arise in a revision of the Constitution;
but because we fear a Convention called
at this hme Would tarnish another Inas
tration of the maxim, "the more haste,
the less speed." When . discussion shall
have done its work, and public opinion
shall have more nearly 'crystalized; we
shall rejoice to have a Constitutional
Convention summoned.
TILE CIVIL COIIE.
Last year Mr. Davto DZIMICKOOS, of
Meadville, Mr. MeCr...ar Maim, of Bed
ford, and Mr. WLEAIL .McVinaii; of
Chester, were appointed Commisaioners
to revise the Civil Code of Penneylva ,
*via. The duty *algae,' to them, they
have performed in pert, and transmitted
the result to the Legialature in the form
of nine distinct bills, respectively on
Corporations, General Pleading, Deeds
sad Mortgages, Evidence, IntMest,
Landlord and Tenant, Statute of Limi
tation, Highways and Bridges, lad Poor
Laws.
In addition to the general importance
of baying these bills reported so early
in the session as to allow the =Plait
consideration to be given to them, there
exists a special reason in the tact that
bills ire before one or the other of the
tionses relating to some of the emitters
presided for In the labors of the Com-
..*asioners. -- For instance, a Free Rail
road bill la pending in each Honse, and
the Commissioners in their bill on Car.
porstions have oovered thes.une groUnd,
providing for freedom of eonalructidato
as large on extent as is thought dMira
ale, and at the same time impOsing re
strictions and ebeditions necessary to
guard bath private and coporale right;
so far u lUble tote improperlytreneli ed
-upon by new enterprises.
Some topics, as the reudatiou of beak
ing, the Commissioners have nn( yet
concluded their lahoraspon. •
'• The bills reported by these gentlemen
trill necessarily: receive a large mesonre
Of attention from the members of the
legal profession througbOut the State;
and if this body shall be tolerably well
melted in qualm as to the merits or dr .
smelts-.of the. codification, their judg—
Anent will doubtleis be accepted by the
Legislature as of very high, perhaps as
of conclusive authority. If, however,
that Judgment shall be divided about
equally, it nosy be inferred that the
proposed codification will fail.

lector° la the nutnl,r of patients treat

that the Board was forced to refuse ad

to recall that order, Or do they see any
prospect of being able to do so daring

Knowing as we do the extremely
crowded state oF Mil:no:ft, and finding
now that the State ;hospital is in the

islature should extui - ine into this thing,
and provide amply for all these, the most
&Minted of the citizens of the Commo

Notwithstanding the crowded state of
the wards, however; the health of, the

the 34 deaths during the year, 19 were
catuied by Vic exhauation of chronic

President being required under that law
to appaint a Board of \lgnore, it :was
the duty of Congress to make an apPro
prlation, and he enpported his argument
by the remark that it would be foolish •
to deprive the Incomingadmlnistration,
