NEW CONSTITUTION OF OREGON.

The new constitution of Oregon bids fair to con
tain some curious features. One of these, prepared
at the last dates, in the Convention, was to abolish
the Grand Jury system, on account of it's expense
and inquisitcrial character, and substitute therefor
the result of the examinations before Justices OF The
peace. Another is to make the Governor e~x.oficio
treasurer Of the State, to have no Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and to make the Secretary Of State Governor
pro tenn, in case of the death Of the Executive. a
third novelty is the limitation Of the number of mem.
bers of the State Senate to fifteen, and of the As.
sembly to thirty, with biennial sessions. A fourth
is the rira poce system Of voting al all public
elections. This has been done all along in Oregon,
and is the old English plan, adopted thence into Vir.
ginia, and from Virginia carried westward through
Kentucky and Missouri to Oregon. The voting is
done in the SANE way in Kansas. There are some
other interesting features which may be briefly stated
thus: Judges of courts are rendered ineligible to
any office other than a judicial one, during the terms
for which they may have been elected, and for one
year thereafter; towns and cities are prohibited from
contracting debts for any purpose whatever; bankin
charters are absolutely prohibited, 80 that the bu /.
ness Of corporate banking will not be recognised.

CANDIDATE FOR DOORKEEPER.

Among the mum Der of gentlemen who come before
the National Legislature, as a candidate for Door
Keeper of the House of Representatives. there is no
one man who would be more acceptable to the coun.
try than our old friend, Robert b. Hackney of Va.
MIR Hackney is qualified by general intelligence, a
knowledge of the special duties Of the office, and by HE
g~entlemanly and social habits, above any of his com.
petitors; and as he can exhibit q record uustsiued by
any tergiversations, and has literally expended his
means and time in advancing the interests of the De.
mocratic party. there ought not to BIZ a question raised
about bis election.
But in writing this article in behalf Of Mr.. Hackney,
his opponents. He comes before the country upon
hs own claims. They are, first. that he is, and has
ever been an honest Democrat, and. that he is quail
ned to discharge the duties of the office he seeks.

Inc following is an extract from a speech made by
president Buchanan. when In Congress, Oh the indie.
pendent treasury bill:
The evils of a redundent paper circulation are
manifest to every eye. 1t alternately raises and sinks
the value of every mans property. 1t makes a beg.
wealth to-day. 1t converts the business of soc;atv
into a mere lottery, while those who distribute Tho
prizes are wholly irresponsible to the people. When
the collapse comes-as come it nust-it casts labor
