of the President comprise all the residue of the
lead mines yet to be BROUGHT nto market south
of the Wisconsin river. They cover those mines
particularly the portion situated in llnois) work
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations, without
mourning the increased expenses incidental to
opening new mines, and most of them believed
to be very productive. They are all more or le.s
conveniently situated in reference to the navigable
rivers and other cheap means of transportation of
their products to st. Louis, and are in the midst of

products of the latitude in which they located.

On Wednesday, April Goth, the Convention first
came TO vote in committee ofthe whole, the ba-
sis OF representation. The question pending was on
he motion OF Mr.. Scott OF Fauquer strike out Pro-
position in the report OF the committee the basis Of
representation, and 10 insert substitute, of which the
following was the important provision:
Representation in both legislative bodies shall be
apportoned amongst the counties, cities and towns
cording TO the number OF white inhabitants contained
and the amount of all taxes paid in each; deductng from
such taxes all taxes paid licenses and law process.
In making such apportionmen there shall be allowed
one delegate for part Of the said inhabitants,
and one delegate tor every part OF said taxes; and
in like there shall be allowed one Senator for
every - part fthe same."

proviso limiting the representation OF cities TO - de-
delegates and - Senators, but Mr.. Scott withdrew

1t will be perceived there manner of dif1e-

History of the Basis Question.-The first page
of this days semi-weekly issue contains the mar
rative, which was published in the daily paper Of
Wednesday, fthe proceedings of the Convention
on the basis of representation. We have some
what improved the memoir by supplying few
omissions md correcting one or two errors. The
only important error we have discovered in the
original article is in the statement that the first
ballot for members of the Compromise committee
four votes were given by each delegate. Eight
votes were given by each delegate on that ballot,
four for Eastern and four for Western members.
1t appears from statement, made In the Con-
vention yesterday, by Mr.. Lynch, that there was
error in the journal to his vote, on the fourth
ballot Instead of voting for Mr.. Chiffon, as the
journal represented (and our statement of the vote
was taken from that Mr. L. voted for Mr.. Miller
OF Botetourt.
Since the appointment of the committee Of
revision and apportionment, the President of the
Convention has placed Mr.. McCandsh, of Will
liamsburg, on the committee in place of Mr.
Rives, of Prince George, who declined to serve.
The chief emendation, which we have thought
itadvisable to make in our narrative of the basis
deliberations, consists in more explicit state
ment, at the beginning, of the substance and eff
feet ofPropositions A and B. of the basis commit
tee. This is of some importance to show that
those Eastern members who, for time, acknowl-
edged themselves bound to vote for the mixed ba-
sis, but declined to consider any proposition ex-
cept A, as embracing the mixed basis, had no
good reason for their course. We insert here that
part of the amended narrative in which the i'm
port of propositions A and B, and of the substi-
tute is stated,
At an early day alter the Convention reassembled in
January, the committee on the basis OF representation
made report embracing two schedules or propositions
marked A, and the other B. the former on behal
Of the Easern and the latter OF the Western members
Of the committee.
Proposition A, provided in the LIST section that the
Legislature should consist of two Houses, &C. The
End section declared that the House Of Delegates
should consist OF $50 members, and set forth appor
tonment OF the same giving majority OF IA to thu
Fast. Inc ID section prescribed that the Senat.
should consist OF 81 members and made an apportion-
ment giving majority OF to the East. The 9Th
and 9ln sections were 10 these words:
