Important from KansaS--ActiOn
of the TIE TritOriaI Legislature
--Final Protest.

Our Lawrence dates are to Feb. 18TH
1t appears that the Constitutional Conven-
ton was in danger of being defeated by
legal technicaity. The correspondent oil
the Chicago Tribune writes on the 18th;
The bill calling the Constitutional Con.
vention WAS not passed and enrolled until
Tuesday night, At I p. M, it was car
ried to the Governor for his signature.
He refused to receive it, because it was
late and he had retired. The Legislature
considered the bill as presented, and to-
night at III o'clock,the question was rails
ell as to what had become of the bill 1t
being then more than three days; the
time allowed by the organic act for the Gov
ornor to examine bills. having expired, the
House took up tho Convention bill and
passed it over by unanimous vote; the
Senate did the same, The Governor
claims that the bill was not brought to
him till Wednesday, thus making it with
in the three days. However, there is no
doubt that the bill was kept over the three
days and the bill is therefore a law.
The Legislature is still in session, and
will not adjourn until noon to-day. The
members think that the forty days to
which the Organic Act restricts them, will
not expire until that time, as their session
did not commence until noon, on the 4th
of January. But Gov. Denver holds diff.
fereutly. lie decided that the legal exis,
tence of the Legislature ceased at l2o'cIock
last night, and refused to hold any com
municaton with it, after that hour.
The bill repeating the entire bogus code
failed to pass; but many bills were passed
which repealed former lawsso that a large
portion Of the bogus laws are repealed.
The general laws passed are about 3
dozen in number, comprising a county and
town organization, a code of civil and
criminal practice and pleading, an assess.
ment and tax law, general election law,
militia bill which is subsequently the
same as that passed at the extra session, a
bill granting the rights Of married women
to their property, and homestead law.
Gov. Denver has been prolific of vetoes

THE CoNGREssIoNAL COMMITTEE
There is little or no hope for a thorough
investigation of all the Kansas matters, en-
braced in the resolution under which the
investigating committee was appointed. -
All the propositions made by the anti.Le.
compton members of the Committee, in
Guiding that to send for persons anG pa
pers, are voted down uniformly by one ma
jority. The committee, composed as it is,
ia powerless, and the design of Speaker
Orr in making it so, was doubtless to stihe
investigation. Such rascality deserves to
have an origin somewhere else than 10
Congress.
