The proposed ii_mei‘idinen'ts of the Constitution
havelgmet a very _quiet fate at the hands of the
Legislature. But one of the number, that of
changing theutiine of holding the sessions of the
General Assembly, and of all, perhaps, the least
consequence, is suffered to go ‘to the people.
. .'Makiii'g elective Judges of Probate and Justices
’of.l:-he Peace, and‘ Negro suffrage, it seems to
have been thought, are subjects with which the
people were not to be trusted. \VitIi the mat-
terof extending suffrage to blacks, the day has
hardly arrived. The sentiment of the people‘
of the_State is evidently opposed to its exercise,
and nothing couldbe hoped from further action -,
upon the subject. Respecting the other two
proposed famendmcnts, the case is different.
There has been a latent. and gradual change in
thepublic mind——a verging towards the opinion
that the people are quite as competent to elect
’ the ofiicers alluded to as their Representatives.
Some have even thought that the appointment
of our County Court Judges, would be quite as '
free from intrigue, and lobby influence, and the
officers themselves be quite as far removed from
political bias, and the course of justice equally
as well answered, if given directly to the peo-
ple. Sentiments akiu to these have attained a
footing, and made much greater advance in seine
of our sister states, than in Connecticut. The
new Constitution of New York broadly recog-
nizes the elective feature in, the appointment
of Judges. ‘The progress of the age is tending

has heretofore attempted to conform its legisla-
tion to this state oftliings, but as now. some iii-
fluence, which is not generally traced, has so-
cured . the (lefctlt: of these embryo reforms.
This cannot always be. The question must be
met, and tlioso interested in_ keeping things in
their present posture, will have to yield, orsub-
\Vhatever opinions may
be entertained of the conservatism of old estab-
. lishments, on this subject, there are no argu-
ments, so far as we are conversant with it, that;
aifewortliy of consideration, and we have yet
to learn that there is substantial reason for stav-
ing the subject off at this time, and leaving per-
haps for seine future loco foco Legislature the
credit of securing a reform at once liberal, free
from hazard, and which the people have ariglit
to demand. .

—-—Some friend at Hartford, we know not who,
has favored us with a report of the Commis-
sioner of the School Fund, to the General As-
sembly now in session. From this document,
it appears that the capital stock of the Fund
now amounts to $52,070,050 01. The surplus
or balance ofthe revenue on hand ‘April 1st,
1846, amounted.‘ to $11,429 05. The receipt
for interest, rents," &c. during the year ending
March 31, 1847,aiiiounted to $145,744 ‘.25. The .
expenditures for the same period were $149,
265 77. The commissioner says, the surplus,
exclusiveof the sum temporarily loaned to the
State. now aiiiounts to;9,S10,50O, and is not an
idle deposit, but is loaned on ample security,
and kept to meet any contingency. that may ii-
, rise from embarrassment and difficulty in mak-
ing collections, and will prevent disappointment
in the expectations and calculations oftlioschool
'districts, which would unavoidably result froina
temporary diminution of the dividends. The
amount distributed the past year to each child
in the State between the ages of 4 and 16, was
$1 45, amounting in the aggregate to $125,710
05. The number of children returned to the
Comptroller, in August last was 86,607-being
1,4i.’2 more than have been returned in any pre-
vious year. These returns have come from
215 school societies, embracing 1,663 school dis-
tricts.
'_ CLOSE Vo'rixe.—-In several of the Congres-
sional Districts in Virginia the contest has been
remarkably close. In one of the counties the
\VIiig candidate for the Legislture voted for
his opponent, who did not vote either way. It
turns out that the Democrat was elected by one
majority. . ’
‘Presbyterian General Assembly/.—Tlie Gen-
eral Asembly of the Old School Presbyterian
Church met at Richmand, Va. on Thursday
last, and was opened with a sermon by Rev.
Dr. Hodge, Moderator of the last Assembly.
Rev. Dr. J. H. Thornwell of South Carolina,
was chosen Moderator by a plurality vote.
\Ve have received the mammoth Pictorial
-Double Brother Jonathan for 4th July, just issu-
ed from the press of_\Vilson <_SL Co. New York.
The entire first page is occupied by two very
large and well executed National Engravings.
viz: \Vashington's entrance into New York on
the evacuation of that city_by the British forces in
1783,and Washington taking leave of his officers
on retiring from military life. This stupendous
sheet containing in the aggregate no less than
eighty eight Engravings and Portra'its——many
of them large and beautiful ones. The price is
but 12 cents per~'copy or ten for one dollar.
SoMi=:iionr's Pnorr.a'rv.—-We published a.
notice, a few weeks since, for a meeting of the
‘Jennings’ family, in order to adopt measures to
substantiate their claims to a large estate in
England, wanting heirs. A statement recently
appeared in a city paper, from which we learn,
that Wni. Jennings died at an advanced age, a
bachelor and intestate, leaving an estate which
amounted in-1844 toover $30,000. The prop-
erty is in the hands of the receiver of the Court
of Chancery‘ and information has recently been
received that there are no heirs in England, and
that the_ estate belongs to the descendants of
Joshua Jennings who emigrated tzo the United
States and settled ' at Fairfield, in this county.
Money and identfyiug facts have been gathered
_ -for the purpose of sending an agent on this bus-
iilfiss t0Engl,aiid.—.Danbury Times. ' ‘

“_SQUA'r'ih:a’s Ro_w.”i-—The block of buil-
"dings known by this appe_l_lation, appear to be
destined to distruction. \Vhat the law seemed
powerless to effect, violence and saltpetre has
undertaken to accomplish. Another of those
devoted buildings submitted to its fate at about
3 o'clock on Thursday morning through the a-
gency of gunpowder. The concussion was tre-
mendous, and the demolition complete.‘ The
property belonged to Col. Buckingham Lock-
wood. The only remaining store, that belong-
.iug to the estate of Joseph S. Meeker, and oc-
_cupied by Allen 82: Meeker, has been placed
under ban, and the occupants have been anony-
mously notified that they will have a fortnight
allowed them to “ clear the coop.” Seine ex-
citement prevails, and many ask, ‘fif outliiwry
has become the order of things, where‘ will it
stop, and who is to be the next victim?”
‘FROM THE RIO GRANDE.
‘ The whole valley of the Rio Grande is
under martial law, and every one capable
of bearing arms is called upon to rally,
under penalty of a traitor’s death. This
ocs not exclude even the clergy.
A bloody chapter is about to open upon
all straggling parties of Americans near
our places of occiipation—the highcst
penalties being imposed upon military
commanders for not carryingbut Canale’s
orders.
The National Guard is everywhere ral-
lying, and the armed and helpless will be
equally exposed to the guerilla war.
Private letters state that Alvarez is
marching from the north of Mexico with
over 25,000 troops, who will be scattered
in guerilla parties between Jalapa and Pa-
ebla and towards.Vera Cruz, and a general
disposition exists among the inhabitants of
many villages to arm and accompany him
as guerillas. -
C? The two armies of Scott and Taylor, it
is said, will celebrate the declaration of Ameri-
can Independcuce in Mexico on the 4tl1 ofJuly
next.—— Hftlsll. Union. ’
\Ve know not how others may feel, but, for
ourselves, we confess that we should have no
heart for the celebration of the auniversaay of
the Independence of the United States in tho
conquered Capital of a sister Republic-—the fal-
len Capital of the only great Republic beside
our own upon the face of the earth—conqnerod
in one of the most iniquitous wars recorded in
the dark and bloody annals of mankind.

INFLUENZA AND CONSUMPTION.
it is indeed a melancholy truth that thousands fall
‘ivictiins to consumption every year, from no other
cause than neglected colds ; yet. we find hundreds,
nay tliousaiids, who treat such complaints with the
greatest indiffcreiice, and let them run on for weeks
and even inoiitlis, without thinking of the danger.
At first you have what you consider a slight cough
or cold ; you allow business, pleasure, or careless-
ness to prevent you from giving it any attention;
itthen settles npoii your bre,ast—you become hoarse,
have pains in the side or chest. expectorate large
quantities of matter, perhaps mixed with blood; a
difliculty of breathing cnsn es and then you find
your own foolish neglect has brought on this coin-
plaint. It’. then, you value lil'c or health, be warned
in time, and then don't trifle with your Cold, or
trust to any quack nostrum to cure you ; but imme-
diately procure a bottle or two of that fani_ons_renie-
dy, VVistar’s Balsam of \’Vild Cherry, which is well
known to be the most speedy cure ever known. as
thousands will testify whose lives have been saved
b it. .
yFor influenza it is the very best medicine in the
world. . ‘
