TIE Delegates shah assemble at Lecompton on
the sIst Monday in September, to frame Consti-
tutisn. which is to be submitted t. Congress. This
is stated in the act, bu. there is nothing stated
abe.t submitting ths Constitution thus framed to
the people; 70 precision for scch thing. 1t is
% ssible that it MAJ BE- underStood that the Con-
vent On shall do the / have heard Of nothing Of

stiiutcn, would have TO elect "a election law. This
: not Law. makiog body

passed freely venture to predict. l do net think
there will be say amendment Of consequence, I'M
less il be made even worse, if possible for the
Free-State rasn. II was framed By the most con-
servative nan Of both Houses, and bad though it
,. Is tie coaserrotre position Col. Coffee is the
most moee1aie man in either House and his name is
attached to the report %, Chairman " Committee.
II is clearly certain thai there = now power here
10 give il more If that 'fair'Sess AMI equality
spoken Of in the report, but nowhere exhibited 10
the bill.
Ina. the little CA5sian on the Council stair lAss
night ard speaking Of the BAL Ae said
~ am gong to propose era amendment
"Wbat is that" Iasksd.
"Why sm going to propose that ono of these
Election Judges Of each precnc! shall be Free
Seller"
Clever little Christian. Not even the tender mer-
ces of that cruelty delicious little boon will ever
squeeze through the mill of bogus legislation.
