were the best the wnrlll had ever known;
and he believed they would be most Sc

TuE PRESENT c oNsTruTIpS.--Agr great
fuss has been made by Mr.. Bragg and
his organs as to some Of Gen. Ducke-
rvs votes IN the Convention which
amended the Constitution. A similar
course was pursued when Cav. Graham
was candidate. 1t was falsely alicg-
ed that he was opposed to giving to the
people the right to elect a governor,
and therefore it was argued he was un.
fit to be elected Governor By the peo-
pie.
Now the amendments made in 1885
were submitted to the people. How
did Mr.. Bragg vote upon them ? Was
he for them or against them Let Us
have plain answer, and no ,lodging.
Did he or did he not vote for the rati.
fication Of the amendments: Dat viii,
tie truth.
Our readers may infer what the an
swer will be. it there is an answer,
when we tell them that in the county
Of Northampton, Mr.. Bragg's county.
only freiue votes were given in favor
of ratification. Fay. 0bs.

THIRTY THIRD CONGRESS- /

The Senate did not sit to-day.
The House met at 9 o'clock, and IN
committee of the whole continued the
discussion Of the Nebraska bill until
IL o'clock, when the general debate
closed. Several amendments were pro-
posed and rejected. one Of which pro-
posed TO give 10 the Territorial Leg's.
iatures "the power to establish or ex-
elude slavery, as to them shall seem
proper" This would seem. in effect.
TO exclude slavery. as il seems to be
pretty generally admitted that slavery
can exist in territory only by virtue
Of law.
Monday. May -.
In the Senate, Mr.. Clayton submit
ted resolution proposing so to restrict
the powers OF consuls residing in the
Spanish Nest Indies, in issuing sea-
letters ON the transfer Of American ves-
sells. as 10 prevent the abuse Of the
American flag in the African slave
trade. The resolution vas referred
to the committee ON foreign relations.
The consideration of the Indian APP
preparation bill WAS then resumed. and
after some discussion the subject was
postponed until tomorrow, and the
Senate proceeded TO the consideration
of executive business.
The House went into committee Of
the whole upon the bill 60 osganize the
territories Of Nebraska and Kansas,
when ur. Stephens Of Georgia moved
to strike ont The enacting clause. with
view to prevent all ful Their anne nd>
ments. This being carried, the COM
mittec rose and reported the bill to the
House.
After the various privileged motions
were exhausted, the question was taken
on concurring with the committee in
striking out the enacting clause, and
decided in the negative. Mr.. Rich
ardson then offered as substitute the
Senate bill rithom the Clayton amend
ment. and under the operation Of the
previous question the substitute WAS
carried. At near IL o'clock at night
the final question upon the passage Of
