| Az to the 1hcto Of the caee, tbe LecQmPson
Constitution was Authorised. in advAnee b no
one branch Of the General Govsrnnenk The
Senate Of the United States passed bill for :
ConventS0n In KanoGa, having 70 view very
dinerent mode Of procedurc. The House, by .
decided vote. declared itseit willing % accept
the real and true opinion ef thO majority Of
Kansas however y might Be oppressed.
The President through his agent, the Gov
efnor OF the Territory, vetoed the bill for the
Conventions. The Senate, the House, the Pres
ident OF the United States, are I'll iaaocent Of
the kec0mptOn Convention. The people Of the
Territory never elected that Convention, and
never had an opportunity 20 do 20. The lists Of
v"ters were made ont BY partisan officers, who
acted under mo penalties for neglect Of duty
Fifteen counties, by no fault Of their own, had
no possible opportunity TO vote as oil. The
Convention, therefore, never had even pretext
for biading the people. Before the Convention
did iss work new election Of Kansas Legis
lature took place and, thanks % Walker and
Stanton, false, fraudulent and forged returns
were rejected, and Legislature was formed Of
unquessioned legality. The Convention, know.
ing the true will Of the people, in defiance Of
that will, refased to refer the Consultation 10
the people, sequestered their inalienable rights,
and made themselves masters They acknow-
lodged that such reference should have been
made at least on the Slavery clause, and ehcn
they framed schedule which made no true
reference even Of that clause, bue disfranchised
all exceps shoee who would acknowledge their
usurpatiou, and we're willing TO take test oaths
to support il. The Convention farther assumed
most extraordinary power, and sought in ad- |
vance to nullify and render void the sc,s Of the
newly elected Legislature. They did what they |
could to show appreciation Of the fraudulent

Pruden stated that she was the last Ofthe

confined in the Penitentiary for life, on
the charge of killing O man ; the two SIS

City Prison, where they have been seve-
raj times although quite young in years:
and that q still younger brother and sis.

the last Of the family would be sent to
keep them company, On leaving the
court room Ann used the most insulting
language to the Court, and, on being
taken below. went into the most violent
paroxysm of anger, requiring the efforts
of several officers to control her. On
learning the fact, Judge Pruden sen
fenced her for ten days in the dungeon,
on bread and water in hopes to reduce
her to subsection, and then to be trans
fsred to the House of Refuge. A father
and FIVE children spending their lives IN

' DEEP SEA SoUSDINGs.-Some persons aro surprised at the statement that the water u,,- on the telegraph plateau between Trinity and Falentia Bays is from two to three miles dep ill its deepest parts, having been told that it $ comparatively shallow. A comparison of deep sea soundings will show that the idea of it's shal!owness is corr,ct, when mea ured by the almost incredible abysses to which the p'unl- mt has been sent. Lieutenant Bcrryman, in 1853, made a sounding in the Atlantic Ocean 39 eco feet in depth, equal to a little over ' l-2 miles and Captain Denbam Of the Brit iSh Navy has obtained soundings at the Va dpth of 1t, 23G feet, or about B. English miles, The highest mountains on the gloh. r.iylst be huei into these immense chasu,s and still leave vast ocean above their tallcst peaks The giant HimaayS, that ovcrtop all other mountains, would be swallowed as easily as the fps. The highest peas.of the chain is only 2o,l78 feet above the sea level, and its summit might be submerged about three miles at the point of Capt Denhams deepest souud- iDgs .--Nat. Latl.

1 DEATH OF THE RICHEST MAN IN NEW ENGLAND.
From the B,ston Transcript, Sept. 21.l

From the Boston Transcript. Sept 21
 Ebenezcr Francis, Esq, died at his residence
 in Penlberton Square, at $ o'clock this morll- ing.
 The deceased was born in Beverly, Mass. October b, l775, and at his death was there fore nearly o3 years of age. He was the o,- ly son of Col. Ebenezer Francis, who was kill ed at the battle of IIubbardtown, near Ticon- dcroga, in July, l177. He came to Boston ill JaIuary l7S7, pocr boy, and obtained a sit in the countng-,oom of the late Jona- than Harris, with whom he was subsequently several years connected in business " In few years," says the Boston Journal, MT. Harris retired, the co-partncr>hip was dissolved, and Mr. Francis took store on Long Wharf. where he engag d in the foreign trade aud b'care large sLip-owner. He rc- tired from mercantile business about twenty years ago, with a large fortune, and has great
 y added to it since that period. He has been well Known for many years past in financial circles as large dealer in negotiable paper aud conspicuous operator in other money transactions. His wealth is variously estima- ted at from 3,5000 900 to 100000. He had on deposit in the banks of Boston, tt the time Of hs death, about $2 230O,OOO, not hay renew' any paper for S, veral months past He was also a large owner of bank stock, mort gages, &c. It is understood that this vast wealth is left subject to his last will and testa- ment, made some time since, and thatthe bulk of his property has been given to his heirs at law"
 He married the eldest daughter of Col. Is- 1ael Thorhdke, then of Beverly. Of seven children of this marriage, five are dead without issue. The two survivors are the wives of \. l. Bowd.tch and Robert M Mason, Esquires. Another of his daughters was the first wife of the late distinguished banker, John E. Thayer of Boston.
 Mir. Francis was for several years Chairman ot the Trustees and President of the MasSs- chusctts General Hospital, and to none more than him was that institution indebted in its early days, his energy and good judgment hay ing been of the utmost importance to its snc- cesSful establishment As President of the Suffolk Bank he originated the system known as the "SLffo'k Bank syst,nl,' which has proved so Efficient means of securing our con- munity sound paper currency. He was Prs ident of the Cochcco Manufacturing Company, and for a long term of years dire ctor of vari- ons insurance companics ad many other cor porations. As Treasurer of Harvard College, he introduced order and system, where before there had been a great want of method and cxactness. He is believed to have left the largest estate ever accumulated in New Eng land.

INTERESTING FAcrs.--The submersion of the cable has two effects upon it the weight If tlie Water congresses the gutta percha coat. ing and makes the insulation more perfect, thus preventing the escape of the electric cur rent into the water, and, at the same tin1e. by diminishing the distance between the conduct ing wire aud the water, it increases that in- ducton by which the current is retarded. The experience of the Mediterranean lines COZ firms this. While their insulation improves, the rate of transmiss;on becomes gradually slower, and will do so until the gutta perch. reaches the maximum density. It is state that the needle at Valencia Bay is delectcd Gl degrees by the current received from Trini- ty Bay. This shows a very perfect transmits sion, as the most powerful current can only de- fleet the needle 90 degrees.
