THE CONVENTION.
From our Madison Correspondent.
MADISON, Nov. Goth, 1916

Mr.. Enron: This morning the Article
providing for the separate submission Of "Ne-
gro auffrage" 10 the voters Of the Territory,
came up for its final passage. and contrary to
the expectation Of many, was passed by a
vote Of SO to 4G, Tins bringing an unnecessary
amour, Of opposition 10 the adoption of The
Constitution for no earthly good, nothing could
be more Objectionable in my opinion 10 the
entire people Of the west The next business
in order was the article organizing the Judici-
arg, the article having previously been consid-
cred in Committee ollhe Whole refoued again
TO the Judiciary COMMITTEE, and finally en-
crossed by a vote Of 5000.
This article you are aware provides for di
viding tho state into FIVE Judicial districts, The
Judges with salary Of afieon hundred dollars
each, the Judges to exchange Circuits, and do
supreme cour, duties, TO hold supreme court
at least once year in each district. Il was
thought by many that the whole legal force Of
IN Convention, would be arrayed against the
elective feature in tho article, but strange 10
say, they nearly all seemed 10 content 10 fall
10 with the popular feeling without bringing
any grea, opposition to the measure. Tuesday
this morning tho article on boundaries came
mp for consideration, exciting good deal Of
feeling. The article as yon are aware, pro
vides for our admission into the Union, with
our northwestern boundaries fixed as provided
by the act Of Congress Of August last. "to
which proyiso is profXed that our admission
undor the above recited act" shall not effect
or prejudice the right of this state, to the boun-
darioJ prescribed by the ordinance of eighty
seven.
II is TO be regretted that anything should en-.
ter into the consideration of this question, a
part from tho true merits of the subject; some
view it with reference to its great importance
to US as people, others are disposed TO regard
it as a great national question, to DO decided
solely with reference 10 the political Influence
wo arc destined 10 exert in the national conn
ellis.

Capture OF 'gampico.
Prepayafioaa for its Retention.

IDTepGFafIOns Jar as IfefeHttOIt'
By an arrival at the S. w. Pass, news was
received Of The capture Of Tampico by The U .
S. squadron on the l4ih uli. The feet sailed
from Anton Lizardo, under Com. Conner, on
the | l,h and 10Th. On the l4lh, Com. Con.
ner crossed the bar with the Sptfre, Wien
I Petrol, Bonita and Refer, reinforced from the
Cumberland, Mississippi, Princeton and st.
Mary's. There was no opposition made to
The American arms. The town was snrren-
dered unconditionally, the garrison having
been previously Withdrawn.
The Mississippi sailed Immediately for the
/ Baize for troops 10 garrison the city. In com.
ling hi,her Com Perry touched at the BfaZos
and despatched Lieutenant TO Gen. Patier-
sons camp to obtain troops for the garrison
The Mississippi then came 10 the BaliZe Tor
the same object. We learn from proper sour
ces, that about $50 men, recruited from me
lst and 50 infantry, will be despatched imme'
diately for Tampico. detachment OF these
troops has already arrived and the remainder
are expected tomorrow. Besides these, four
companies Of the new brigade of mounted IL
nemen, under Major DuIbridge, will be sent to
Tampico as soon as they arrive. They are
hourly looked for.
Cant, Helzel of the Quariermaster's Depart
ment. has been despatched TO Baton Rouge tor
ordinance and munitions. and Capt Barnard,
of the Engineers, will repair directly to Tam.
pico to superntend the erecting and arming Of
the necessary defences.
Although the city was taken without the
loss Of blood, i, is manifest that it is not to DO
surrendered wiihou, a struggle before peace is
declared. The town is row in possession OF
The marines and sailors Of the fleet, who can
not be we'll spared from their ships. As soon
as the place is sufficiently garisoned by land
forces, tho squadron will proceed to other bu.
siness. A change has come over tho fleet, and
we doubt no, Of its future usefulness. Many
of our naval officers regret that Tampico sur
rendered withou, a blow Il is well as ii is.
We incline TO the opinion that the place will
become Of the utmost importance TO the in;en-
ded operations on the interior. The withdraw
al Of the Mexican garrison is evidence that
Santa Anna is making preparations for de-
monslraion upon largo scale in the direction
of San Louis Potosi or Saltlo-more proba-
bly, at The former m o. Picayune of 2lss

Illness of Mr. adams The public will be
panied to learn that The venerable John GUM
cy Admins was yesterday forenoon seized with
paralysis Of his Jeff side, which for time
rendered him nearly insensible. He had just
left the residence of his son, the Hon. Charles
F. Adalna, in Mount Vernon street, in state OF
health, when tho gentleman with whom he
was walking suddenly perceived that he was
laboring under some severe affection OF his
limbs, and was obliged to assist him TO pre-
vent his falling. He was conveyed back TO
his sons honso, and received immediate medi-
cal aid. After a short time his consciousness
returned, and he was subsequently much re.
lieved and able TO converse, and, we are hap
py to learn, was not considered in immediate
danger. Mr.. Adams, is, we believe. about
eighty years Of age, Notwithstanding which he
has hitherto been able, from the vigor of his
constitution, TO endure unremilted labor, like
man in the prime Of lfe.-Advertiser.
We are happy to inform our readers that
Mr.. Adams was great deal better, and that
the physicians express hopes that he will en-
tirely recover from the Effects Of the attack
