Lead Mines.-It is reduced almost to a
certainty that the vein of lead ore recently
discovered and now worked in Rosie, st.
Lawrence county, extends westward
through Alexandra, in this county, some Is
or 20 miles from the former place and that
it will prove great source of wealth to in
dividuals, and of very considerable impor-
lance to the country generally. We UNDER
stand that an examination at or near Plessis,
resulted in the discovery of lead and zinc, in
such quantities as to warrant the belief that
the mine there will be equally productive
with that at Rosie, which yields from IS to
30 per cent. of pure lead. Contracts have
been entered into in New. York, to deliver
in that city this season, some two hundred
tons of ore from the latter mine, and at a
price which ensures fair profit to the pro-
prietor. We hope the attention of mine-
ralogists will be directed this way, as there
is every indication that this country will be
as much distinguished for its mineral wealth
as it is for its unrivalled water power, soil,
and facilities for commercial purposes

Another war Jreping.-The Far West
published at independence, Missouri, says
information has been received from kirt-
land, Ohio, through various channels, of an
other movement among the Mormons, to OBJ
tain possession of "the promised land" and
to establish their Zion in Jackson county,
the scene of their former disastrous defeat.
They are said to be arming to the number
of 1900 or 1000, and to be making their
way, in detached parties to the "debatable
ground" The Far West also states that
the people of Jackson and their friends in
the surrounding counties are taking efectu-
al measures for resistance, and will teach

said, was merely to assent to certain condi-
tons contained in law of congress, pro.
viding for our admission without any REFER
ence to an alteration of our constitution.
Nor did he believe with the gentleman from
Monroe, that the loss of the disputed terrific
ry depended upon our ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
steps we might take on our part ne believ-
ed the disputed territory irrevocably gone.
The separate bill settled that question. The
only remaining question that depended on
our action was that of admission, which he
did not believe we could obtain fully until
we complied with the preliminary condi-
tons of congress. He agreed with the gen.
tleman that congress had done us great In
Justice, and if he thought rejection of the
terms submitted to us would secure to us
our rights he would go as far as any man
in spurning them.
Mr.. BRITAIN did not like the details, ell
ther of the bill or the substitute offered for
it. He was however decidedly in favor Of
the district system. The question to be de-
cided by the proposed convention, involved
in some measure sectional interests and
feelings, and he was therefore anxious that
each community should have the opportu-
nifty of selecting its own representative to
express its own political views upon the sub.
ject. He therefore hoped that the district
system, and that by counties, would be a.
dopted.
| Mr.. CoMsTocK concurred with the gen
tleman from st. Joseph, Mr.. Britain, in his
opposition to the original bill, and also to the
substitute. He was in favor of referring
the subject to the people in such shape
that they could act upon it in the most di-
rect and simple manner. He was there
fore opposed to the general ticket system,
as he considered that partial, impracticable,
and unjust. Its operation would be to give
to the old and populous counties in the cas-
tern part of the state the choice of every DEL
egate to the convention as they would at
present far overpower the west; and he
would not by his vote allow the permanent
and enterprising settlers of the west, to be
voted down on this question by the floating
population of the eastern counties. He
considered it one of the most important
questions which had been or soon would be
submitted to the people of this state, and he
was anxious to obtain the expression of the
wishes of the whole people upon it. But if
the general district system prevail, he was
afraid that the people of the west, aware that
| they would be outvoted by the more popu-
lous east, would not one third of them go
to the polls. But if the district system by
counties would be adopted they would feel
a lively interest in the question, and would
select such men as delegates, who would
faithfully represent their views. He did not
pretend to know what would be their course
upon the main question, all he wanted was,
that they should have an opportunity to ex-
press their views freely and directly upon
the important subject to be submitted to them
and he was Therefore in favor of the dis
trict system, an election by counties.

State Legislature. 1--WE publish to-day as much
of the legislative proceedings as are of general
interest. The debate in the senate will be found
particularly interesting, as eliciting considerable
diversity of opinion in regard to the special bust
ness of the session.
In the House, from information received since
our last publication, the rejected bank question
has been reconsidered, and Mr.. Ullmann had
leave and brought in bill for bank at Con-
stantine, and Mr.. Sherman for one at Centreville;
which were referred to the committee on banks
and interpretations. Mr.. Lothrop, chairman of
that committee, reported, shat the petitioners
had not complied with law requiring certain
notice, Including that for bank at st. Joseph,
and one at Branch,l and recommended that the
petitions be filed, and moved that the committee
be discharged from their further consideration
Mr.. ULLMANN stated, that if the motion pre-
vailed he should call for the yeas and nays on the
question. He wished his constituents to know
who they were, if there were any, who would
vote away their just rights. The growth and ra-
pid improvement of that section of the country,
mperiously demanded, at the hands of this legis-
lature the incorporation Of bank. The county
to which he belonged was one of the first set off,
and in point of fertility and natural advantages
was exceeded by none. Gentlemen would judge
of the Inconvenience under which merchants and
mechanics labored, when he told them that loan
for one hundred dollars on the bank of Bronson,
had been attended with an expense to the parties
of twelve dollars and fifty cents. He would refer
to the honorable speaker of the house, who had
seen the place and knew its capabilities. He be-
levcd the committee had not treated the petition.
ers with due courtesy. He was not for disposing
of the matter in this way, but would submit it to
the intelligence Of the house,
Mr.. RICHARDSON believed the committee had
not entered much into the matter of those petit
tions, and moved that the bill be referred back t
the committee for further consideration which
motion prevailed
Bills read third time and passed in the house
Authorizing judges of probate to grant license t.
sell real estate of minors and others; and Provi
ding for holding elections.

Santa Anna.--An interesting sketch of him,
will be found on our first page, to-day. We have
a paper containing the letter of M. B. LAMAR,
secretary of war Of the republic of Texas, to the
president and cabinet, on the subject of the dis
position of their prisoner, Gen. Santa Anna, da-
ted velasco, May IL, 1896; who says, that while
most Of the cabinet have considered Santa Anna
exclusively prisoner of war, he was disposed to
regard him as an apprehended MURDERER, and
that he has FORFEITED HIS LIFE, by the highest of
all crimes, and is not suitable subject for the
pardoning prerogative. In justification of this
opinion, after recounting the bloody deeds of an
cient Nero, Mr.. Lamar says-"Who is Santa
Anna but the Nero Of the present day 2 Is he not
foe to all virtue Has he not stabbed at public
liberty Has he not rioted in human gore-rav-
aged realms--violated treaties and stands he
not now before. us the invader of our country
and the cold-booded butcher of our friends and
brethren? Why hesitate then to consign him to
that punishment which his deeds demand By
negotiating with him for his life and liberty, do
we not in effect publish to the world, that our
adherence of crime is subordinate to our attach
ment to interest ;---and that we are willing to sti
flo the course of justice and to forego just re-
sentiment, for certain political advantages which
it were just as easy to win by arms, and which
fear, after all negotiation, we shall still have to
purchase and maintain by our valor !" This let
ter is extended, in similar strain of argument,
to the length of a pretty respectable governors
messages in the course of which is this remark |:
The dignity of criminal cannot sanctify his
crimes; neither should his gold or his influence
be permitted to purchase impunity." Concluding:
" His crimes being sanguinary, would read his
punishment from the code of Draco."

ditions of admission which they had offered
us. Our admission he contended was CON-
plete the very moment after congress had
ratified our constitution. They had no
power to inquire further into that instru.
ment, than to determine its republican char.
acter, and that being decided in its favor,
our admission was thereupon complete.
Congress he said had no right to pass upon
the subject of boundaries. He considered
the conditions submitted to us, mere prop.
osition for bargain, which the people OF
Michigan would not be bound by, unless
they accepted them. He was in favor how.
ever of letting the question go before rhe
people-but would vote for no bill to send
it to them except one framed in pursuance
of the 18th article of the constitution in re.
lation to amendments. He would vote for
no bill for calling q convention without OBJ.
tanning the previous consent of the people
for such purpose.
Mr.. MooDY moved to amend the substi.
tute by inserting thirty in the place of"five,"
and six in the place Of "one." He was in
favor of the general ticket system, but
wished the number larger than that propo.
sed by the substitute.
Mr.. MCDONNELL also expressed himself
in favor of the general ticket system, bun
was for inserting larger number in the
substitute. He denied the correctness Of
the doctrine of Mr.. Ellis, that the action
ofthe convention as proposed by congress,
was such an amendment of the constitution
as required the convention to be called in
the manner prescribed by the constitution
for the amendment of that instrument.
The action required Of the convention, he
