RY FIGuT WITH INDlANs.--1he st. Paul papers fur
nish the gratifying news that tho final work OF the
two Conventions has been accomplished. One Con-
stitution has been agreed upon.the members of the
Republican wing signing the Constitution with St.
A. ID. Balcombe, and atested by l.. A. Babcock as
Secretary. Another exact copy of the COnstitu-
ton was sign ed by the members OF the democratic
wing, with IL. II. Sibley as President, and j. j.
Noah as Secretary. The presidents Of both con-
ventions returned their thanks to the respective
bodies over which they had the honor to preside
The Republican Convention was wound up with
an appropriate prayer, by the Rev. Mr.. Phelps
Both conventions adjourned sine ie,about . o'clock
on Saturday.
The second article Of the Bill of Rights reads
thus:
mo member of this state shall be DISTINGUISHED
or deprived Of any Of tho rights or privileges Sc
cured to any citizen thereof, unless by the law of the
land, or the judgement Of his peers. There shall
be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the
state otherwise than in the punishment of crime,
whereof the party shall have been duly con victed. ="
Both the democratic and Republican newspapers
appear to be perfectly suited with the constitution,
and unless the democratic journals pursue the
same course there that the same class of papers did
in thissstate, there will be little or no opposition to
it. 1t is a fair instrument, creditable to the liber-
atty of the Republicans who drafted it. 1t is to
be submitted to the people on the I'd Tuesday of
October.
THE ELECTION LAw.-The election law of Ohio
as changed by the Legislature. now requires n resi-
dence Of thirty days in the county and twenty
da VS. in the township. to constitute a legal voter.
The penalty for violation is an i'm Imprisonment not
to exceed SIX nor be less than one month. A per-
son going from one county to another and voting,
subjects himself to imprisonment in lh5 Peniten-
tiary. Terms not to exceed six years nor less
than one.
yERMoNT.-The following is published as the
official summing up Of tn recent State election.
The returns are not given in detail:
FoR GOVERNOR.
Ryland Fletcher, (Rep.) 1865.
Henry Hayes, (Dem.) 1904
Scattering. 22O
- 10, 234
Fletcher's majority 13,44l
The Senate consists of thirty members, and is
unanimously Republican.
The house OF Representatives will consist 1879
Republicans and SO opposition members.
CosT OF THE NATIONAL CAPIToL.-The Capitol
at Washington ought to be a very handsome bull
ding when completed, if we are tojudge by its
cost. The various appropriations for its extern
ton merely from september 80, 1851, amount to
1925, 900 and to complete this portion Of the
work it is estimated that 81, 1875. 1873 moro will be
required-making in all S5,5l0,lS3. The esti-
mate fer a new dune is 81 500, 900. which added to
the last named sum, makes 81. 0l0, 1873. The cost
of the old building and grounds is reckoned at So,
O0O, 900; so that the entire cost of the Capitol
when all the i'm p~roVemen:s now in progress are
completed, will be above ten millions cfdoNars.
-Passmore Williamson has brought q suit in
the Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania against Chief
Justice Lewis. 1t is a civil action to recover the
penalty of three hundred pounds. under an old act
of Assembly, Tor the refusal of the Chief Justice
to issue a writ of habeas corpus to relieve William
son from prison, where he had been committed by
Judge Kane for contempt of Court, in the matter
of the Wheeler slave case inthe summer of 1855.
Mr.. Hopper appears for williamson, and St.
George Z. Campbell for Judge Lewis. The action
of Judge Lewis in refusing the writ was the iudg-
ment of a majority of the Court. which decided
that they could not go behind the face of the rec
ord presented to them, and that the matter was
under the jurisdiction of the Uuitsd States District
Court.
FREE EMIGRATION TO VIRcINIA.-The inhabitants
Of Guyandott, Cabell county, Virginia, have been
making themselves very uneasy at the prospect Of
settlers from the free states taking advantage of
Mr.. Eli Thayer,s emigration scheme TO buy land
in their vicinity. At a recent meeting they passed
some very beligerent resolutions, Of which the fol-
lowing arc the most important
"FTrSt-That should the said Eli Thayer or his
confederates, OF any other person or persons, COM
ing among us with the purpose, either director con-
tingent immediate or eventual, Of raising any anti
slavery agitation, in any manner, shape or form,
whether in open or palpable violation of the Con-
stitution and the laws, or should seek insidious.y
to disguise their object behind the forms of these
we shall take such decisive and positive correction
of the evil into our own hands as will prove q salu-
tary lesson to such men for the future.
"Second-Tha this correction will not be delay
ed until the evil shall have taken root, but will be
applied upon its first appearance, and we advise
those whom it concerns to take heed accordingly
SOME REsouRcEs.-The Kanawha(Vn.) Star. COM
menting upon the value of the camel coal of West
tern Virginia for the production of oil, gives the
following figures:
"Let us estimate this camel coal field Of west
ern Virginia at two gallons per bushel. and the
result is l,672, 7O4, 600 600 gallons--oil enough,
we shonld think, to grease and light the globe i
and certainly much more than ever swrm in all
the whales since Jonas time. The value of l..
672, 704, 600, 600 gallons of oil at the present mar.
ket price of sixty cents per gallon, would amount
to 81 ,005, 600. 400, 900.
A rather large sum that if Thaver & Co. could
obtain it all for capitol to start upon we reckon
they might buy up the "Ol1 Dominion" and not
miss the draft. By the way, Captain Star could
you tell us how old a man would be who should
have accomplished the feat of counting the little
sum you speak Uf.
Wonder whether the luminosity of Virginia po-
liticians is attributable to the oily and gaseous
substratum upon which they have SO long been
lying?-New Orleans Bulletin.
OWEN VICTORIA is the first sovereign of Eng
land that has visited CEerbourg since the time
that Normandy belonged to Great Britian. The
last English monarch seen under the walls of
Cherbourg was Henry v, in 1920.
