The Regency made their dying struggle on their
proposition to compel The Convention to submit It's
amendments TO the Constitution in separate parcels
for the final approval OF the People, and Mr.. Beers
of Ithaca spoke tuo hours and three fourths Sat
urday night in ostensble advocacy OF this, but re-
ally in abuse of the Wings and Barnburners and IN
insidious hostility 10 any Convention. II was the
most miscellaneous speech of the Session. He
closed about midnight.
On Monday afternoon. Gen Clark of Washing
ton Co spoke on the same side, and was followed
by Mr. Folsom of this City in opposition. Nh
Lott. who had occupied good share OF the morn
ing session on the Regency side, now tined 1t again.
Mr.. Hand of Essex submitted d sham compromise,
imperativey requiring Of the Convention the sepa-
,a,e submission of its amendments, but allowing
any elector to vote For or Against those amend
ments in bulk if he thought proper Messrs. Hand,
Lott, Wright and Smith of Suffolk tried their best
I. coax the Barnburners 10 acquiesce in this pre-
tended compromise, but Messrs. Bockee, Lester
and Sherman civilly referred the whole matter 10
the People. Mr.. Hands compromise was rejected
II to Is Mr.. Lofts original proposition, imPera-
lively requiring separate submission, now came
no. and the Senate refused III TO l4,) to strike out
Mr. Bockee's proposition in order to insert Mr.
Lofts. Mr.. Beers now renewed his amenoment'
proposing to strike out the whole bill except so
much as authorizes the People to vote For or
Against Convention (The efiec. Of ihls would
be TO throw the whole matter over 10 take It's
chances with future Legslature.) This was re-
jected-18 TO IA.
Mr. Jones (our Floyd) moved to strike out If
practicable from the Committees amendment, so
as TO compel the Convention to submit It's amend
ments separately, whether practicable or not. Vot-
ed down-lS TO IA.
Mr.. Beers moved the striking out Of the clause
g requiring the amendments to be submitted 10 the
People at the State Election of 1916: Los,-lS to IA.
Mr. Lott moved to amend so DIS to require ma
iority Of all the votes on the Poll Lists to give effect
TO the amendments Lost-I7 to Is.
Mr.. Sherman moved to reconsider the vote by
which the Committee of the Whole had refused to
strike out the Assembly clauses requiring Delegates
& to be residents of the Counties eIectins them and
forbidding the choice of o. S. Officers. Carried,
without call of the Yeas and Nays. So the People
are 10 be ,o,oy unrestricted IN their choice Of Dele
gates to the Convention.
The bill having been reported from the Commit
tee to the Senate,
Mr. Lott now renewed Mr.. Hands so-called
Compromise Amendment, but ii was voted down
17tol5.
The question on agreeing to the bill as reported
and ordering it to third reading was now put and
carried--ls TO l4-and the bill then had Its ,hird
reading and was passed-Ayes Is, Noes Has
above.
E, The Senate then read and passed number of
priya,e bills, and Cat p. ny adjourned to next
morning.
The Convention bill having been returned from
the Senate to the House, with amendments, Mr..
Chase moved concurrence in those amendments.
He was about to move the Previous Question, but
waived il for explanations, with the understanding
that il would be moved, if necessary in the course
of the evening.
Mr.. SPEAKER delivered the funeral speech Of
Old Huukerism in opposition TO the bill. He had
hoped il would be amended in the Senate so 10
obviate his objections, bu, it had not been, and he
must again vote against it. Mr.. Seymour having
S concluded,
Messrs Mccarthy and Chase rose simultaneously
to move the Prerious Question.
Mr.. 7. R. Lee begged them TO withdraw 1t.
Mr.. Niven-No; the Previous Question will not be with
drawn. The nat Of tho gentleman from Livingston John
Young) has 20 10 forth" Stick to IT,.
The Previous Question was seconded, 81 to Al.
The Main Question Was ordered, 81 TO 81.
MIR. T. r. Lee called for division of the 9ues-
ton on agreeing to each separate amendment, Cl5
in number,) and called for the Ayes and Noes on
each. After fre amendments had thus been adopt
ed, Mr.. Lee concluded he had got enough. and
Withdrew his motion.
- Mr. Wheeler Of this City renewed it with rcspec,
10 that amendment which strikes out the ineligbi
ty Of U. S. Officers TO seats in the Convention, but
the amendment was concurred in.-Finally the
amendments generally of the Senate were concurred
in-Ay-s Seventy Eight, Noes Iisenty- Eight
lone Wing, White Of Cattarausus, and q Old
Hunkers.)
Mr.. T. r. Lee moved reconsideration, and
,hereupon made speech MIR. Comstock spoke on
the same side. Mr.. John Young briefly replied
& and moved the Previous Question, which was sus-
tanned, and the motion TO reconsider fell dead with
out DIVISION.
So the Conrention bill has passed both Houses n:
amobsetionabe shape, aud only a,caits The sigma.
tlrs Of the Gopensr No fear of his withholding 1t.
So huzza for CONSTITUTIONAL. Reform!
Demand and Prices.
The Morning Neas must surely be smltten with
blindness. To suppose intentional its repeated per-
versions of our position with regard to the recpro
,calintuences of Demand and Prices would hardly
vindicate lis understanding a, the expense of its
honesty; for surely nobody who sees the two pa

Thus in its article Of yesterday, it says:
