and let the public judge where the blame belongs.
The night train South (by time table No. y is due

ten minutes Of A. NJ it is TO lay by at the nearest
turnout that it can reach, and be off the main track

Had this order been obeyed there could have been
no collision. The train, IN this case, would nave
been in northeast turnout twenty-five 10 thirty min
utes before No l could have reached that point.

who has very good watCh, and is habltualy very
careful man, had his watch ten minutes too sIow.
He regulated it by the standard clock al Wilmington

CINE of the d01gn might train, though the order to

find the night train on the main track, as large
margin is allowed for it to keep out Of the 1ray

That the up train was moving slow, Is shown by
the small amount of damage done to the engines and
cars The passenger are but slightly injured
The platforms of the baggage cars are broken, with
other small damages, was here that the free negro
boy had his legs broken from the effects of which
he died the same day. The damage to machinery is
not probably over $500 to $1,000, and think some
thing less.

Kansas.

We stated yesterday the manner il
which the late Constitutional cunven
ton of Kansas propose to the people
of that territory to vote on the new
Constitution, namely, in the form
Constitution with slavery" or
"Constitution without slavery"
1t would be an outrage on language
and on common sense to say that this
Is submitting the constitution to the
people. 1t is no such thing. Accord
ing to TINS form the people have no
/ possible chance of expressing their
disapprobation of its provisions.
: In order that our readers may see
for themselves the provisions on this
subject, we here insert the second
clause of Sec. of the schedule to the
proposed Constitution
Before this Constitution is sent to Con
gress the President Of the Convention or in
his absence by reason of his death. resignation
or otherwise, the President pro TEN. shall by
proclamation declare that on the DIST dav of
December 1877, at the different election pre-
cincts now established by law in the Territory
OF Kansas, an election shall be held over which
shall preside three Judges to be appointed 10y
the President Of this Convention or in his alb
scncc by reason of death, resignation or other
wise, the President pro tenn. at which election
the Constitution framed by this Convention
shall be submitted to all the male citizens OF
Kansas, over the age of twenty years, for
ratification or rejection. The voting shall be
by ballot The judges of said election shall
cause to bc kept two poll books by clerks by
them appointed; the ballots cast at said
election shall be endorsed, Constitution nth
sidrery, or Constitution 'cithom sldrery'"
How the authors of the above clause
could call that form of voting sub
hitting of the Constitution for ratifica-
ton or rejection is not easily per-
ccivcd
According to the express provision
of the kansas-Nebraska Ac;, the pco-
pie Of the Territory were to be left free
to regulate their own local laws-to
adopt or reject whatever Constitution
al provisions and State regulations
they might deem best. 1t has become
a law of the land and the Federal
Government is bound to see it carried
out.
The new Constitution of Kansas is
the work of even q minority of the
members elect to the Convention.
That Convention was toconsist of sixty
members. Only tEirty-two were in
attendance, and the Constitution was
adopted by vote of only twenty-eight
Of that thirty-two, four voting against
it. That proposed Constitution, then,
is not only the work Of minority
but that minority knew very we'll that
its provisions were in opposition to the
will Of the people, else, why refuse to
submit it to them?
The Democratic papers Of the entire
North and many of the South arc in
favor of the position We have taken
that of submitting the Constitution to
the people. for it is the only true posi-
ton.
