Adjour'nt Of the Constitutional Congentios.
LEcoMProN Nooemberp.
The last agony is over The Constitutional
Convention was finally adjourned at one O..
clock on the morning Of Sunday, the 9Th in
slant For few days previous the members
had been closely occupied with busine 8. con-
tinuing their session until the small hours of
the night
The reports of the committee on schedule
were Def re tho Convention for several days
preceding that of the adjournment. There was
great deal of wranglng and debating as to
which of these reports should lie adopted.
II was found impossible t. adopt either Of
the reports separately, and the two were finally
merged into one, which vas adopted
At a late hour the Constitution was sub
mitted 10 the Convention for adoption II was
concurred in hJ vote Of twenty-eight to about
dozen dissenting voices The whole number
Of delegates is sixty. The Constitution was
consequently adopted by minority of the
Convention, the Convention having been elect
ed by notorious minority of the people. A
committee of revision was also appointed
Their stated object is to correct verbal naccu-
racies in the Constitution. They NAV. in the
course OF revision, materially alter the meaning
Of some parts. II would be difficult matter.
however to make il worse than it now is.
Mr.. Calhoun has been invested with large
power by the Convention. He is to act as a
sort Of Regent during the passage from terri
torial to State Government. There is no
longer any use for Governor Walker. It is
well understood that the latter gentleman is to
make a visit to Washington soon, not to re.
turn until after the State election. The De-
mociacy, headed by Calhoun, are to inaugurate
a State government in January.
All the troops have left Lecompton and
takel up their quarters in Fort Leavenworth

menced as soon as the adjournment Of the
Convention vas announced, there being no
further use for them at that point

THB ELECTION IN PoINTK CoUPEE, LOUISIANA
In the Pointe Coupee Echo, strong Democrats
journal, of the 7th inst, we find the following
startling expose Of the manner in which the
friends Of Davidson carried that parish. Consd-
ering it entitled to wide, spread circulation we
spread it before our readers:
"I'hs Ezection--I'he Rssult.-The election In
our parish OF, Monday last resulted in the COM
plete triumph Of the Democratic State and parish
tickets by an overwhelming majority.
"But whilc it is our pleasure to chronicle
again the victory of our State and parish tickets
while we rejoice to speak of its stability against
the attacks Of opponents-it likewise becomes
our painful duty to report the defeat of one Of
Lousianas greatest intellects and brightest orna-
menis and defeat, too, BY tie foulest, most das-
tardly and infamous means. We say it, not
because we ale defeated but because 'ts true,
and being true, we hesitate not to proclaim it.
Had we been allowed fair and honorable oppor-
tunity-had not bribery and corruption been
resortsd to--L. J. Sigur would have carried this
parish by one hundred majority. But the ennis
saries Of Davidson, following the behests Of their
rulers, were determined, as the result proved, to
carry this parish at all hazards. They have
accomplished their laudabe ~ designs, but their
victory speaks in tones of thunder against this
motley crso of 1nprincipled politicians. Their
triumph is one If low and vile intrigue ouer pria
ciples and honesty"--New Orleans Crescent.
