j 0REoor. The Constitutional Conven-
ton of Oregon, in session at the latest
dates from the Pacific, hes virtually con-
Icluded to Dodge direct expression on the
question OF feKalizing Slavery. Soon after
the sessions commenced, the Republican
members of the body endeavored to draw
out the sentiments of their opponents in
regard to Slavery, by starting a discussion
OF the question. A fierce excit, ment
followed. and the matter was finally refer
red to a committee.
| Though this committee had not reported.
Iit was understood that a plan had been
secretly agreed on, which would probably
meet the approval Of the Democratic del
egates. who are a large majority Of the
Convention. The plan is said 10 be, to
submit the question to be voted on by the
people in two separate clauses, one for and
the other against Slavery. 1t is feared,
however, that but one clause, and that for
Slavery, will be submitted, so that if this
is rejected, the Constitution will be simply
silent on the subject. In that case, accor,
ding to Mr.. Buchanan doctrine, Oregon
would be a Slave State. There is said to
be much interference with this matter, on
the part of Pro-Slavery Democrats and
Americans of California, who even talk Of
sending strong force INFO Oregon to help
their Pro Slavery friends when the popu-
lar vote is taken.
TREATY CONCLUDED WITH THE PAwNEEs.
Gen. Geo. w. Denver Commissioner of
Indian affairs, came down on the Omaha
from Nebraska to Weston, en- route for
Washington. He reports having made n
full aud satisfactory treaty with the Paw
nees at Table creek in the vicinity TO Ne
braska city,on the 94h of September. The
government has now bought all the lands
Of the Pawnees. with the exception of
thirty by forty miles on the Loup Fork
The treaty lasted a day and was closed
with satisfaction 10 all. The Pawnets
agree to send all their children over ten
years of age to Missouri schools to be es-
thbfshed, also to send apprentices from
their young men to learn the different
trades.-.S. Louis Democrat.
The Baltimore election of Wednesday
week, is stigmatized rs farce by the Sun
of that city. The Americans carried I9
of the 90 wards, many of them without
serious opposition. The total American
vote is 1878 TO 2.789 opposed. Last
November Fillmore had IL, 900 votes, Bu-
chanan 9,87l.
Mississi p has of course elected the
Democratic ticket entire. VIM. A. Lake.
her only American representative in the
last Congress, has been thrown out. We
believe Reuben Davis is Mr.. Lakes sue
cessor. Gen. John A. Quitman has been
reelected without opposition.
THE FRRNcn UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION
iBuILDING.--The Courier de Paris states
that tie Marquis de Grandchamps has
Just tax en- the Palais de rIndustrie from
the French Government under 90 years
lease, at the annual rent of 300,0uO fr
about S6O,OOO The Government it is
added, has the right af using the building
for public exhibitions Mt certain periods of
the year. 1t is said that the Marquis de
Grandchamps, in conjunction with M
Mlaud, the banker. intends using the
Paas de 'Industrie for the permanent ex-
hibtion and sale of manufactured articles
of all countries.
The body Of man who had been run
over and killed by the cars on the Mem
phs and Charleston railroad, was found a
few days since. When found, dog was
sitting watching the corpse, and it was
with difficulty that any one could approach
the body-the faithful animal driving off
all who came near the body of It's master.
VALUE OF SPEc1E.-In 1887, gold was
worth premium in New York Of fourtee'
per cent. To the high rates which then
prevailed. the banks have been much
indebted for the sharpness of the late run.
The runners, have, however, been sorely
disappointed, for specie is now worth
about one per cent. premum--hardly
enough 10 pay for standing several hours
to obtain it.
We are likely to have no money in the
U. S Treasury at the end of the fiscal year
At the present rate, the Custom House
receipts for the present year will not be
more than from S95, 900, 600 to $50, ,OOO,-
700.

mttee at Mansfield, on Friday week, to
