For the Chronicle.

VI tiic OuFouiCios
Mr.. EDITon-The first Thursday Of
Semptember 1858, has been Fixed by the
General Assembly, fora popular vote by
the citizens oft State of Tennessee, to
determine whether they will have Con-
tention TO frame new Constitution for
said State.
Mention thereofis thus early made, that
the voters may be considering the matter
and investigate the expediency of the
movement. Some considerations are here
presented in favor Of the proposition, for
reflection.
1t is thought that a Constitution made
more than twenty years ago in reference to
the chief things then in vogue, does not
meet the requirements ofthe age. Because
then, the means of transportation-the
mode of moving and disposing of the pro.
ducts of the Country and the wants of com
munity were essentially different from
what they are now.
1t is also thought that the great features
of the present age should not be left to the
changing caprice of biennial Legislative
bodies, but should be 80 certain and fixed
as to permanently enhance and uphold
state credit abroad, and internal harmony
and progress at home.
Among other subjects perhaps deserv.
ing of incorporation in the Constitution
and of modification and improvement
mention will be made Of a few. Banks
and Banking-Common Schools-Taxa
tion-whioh being direct should be equa
and, to be equal should be on all proper
ty,-Internal Improvements-cha il
the intervals between, and the duration
of the session of the General Assembly
re- organization Of Courts, provisions au
thorising certain courts to incorporate
persons-to save expenses of Legislation
and time to the petitioners.
Then if these things be so, or only
part of them, a great benefit from such
Convention would ensue, and if the oil
idea of625 miles to County be so chang
ed as to make it a convenience to the citi
zens not counterbalanced by other evil:
such as taxation-much good may ais
thence ensue.
After we vote to have such Conventio
then we can select the best man, irrespect
i've of party, and send him as our delegat
to that Convention.
} The expenses of said Convention will b
cheap compared with what it ought to an
probably will save to the people.
SEWANEE.

sD~ Who voted for the admission of
Minnesota, into the Union, under con-
stitution that violates that clause of the

in thus endorsing violation of the Con

the doctrine that-an alien is, in all respects,
the political peer of the native born; and
t'ey have, farther, sanctioned measure

Bes" The Supreme Court of California
has decided that the ownership of lands in
that State, does not include minerals. So
if man discover a gold mine OH his land,
anybody has a right to work it. That is
a glorious decision, to be sure, and none
but locofoco court could ever have dis
covered principal so wise and just. 1t
completely destroys every thing like a
monopoly of the precious ores, and gives
the gold diggers even the right to dig pits
all over mans farm upon suspicion that
minerals may be found upon it. How
much is Fremont worth, under this decis.
ion.

By" In another place, we publish that
portion of the last Kansas constitution
which relates to the right of suffrage and
we do this to correct the oft repeated
charge that it confers this right upon ne
groes. 1t will be seen that the right to
vote is confined to male citizens of the
United States, and to aliens. And since
the Supreme Court has decided that negroes
are not, and can not become, citizens and
since this decision is well known to the
Trainers of the Kansas Constitution, it is
gross injustice 10 charge that it confers
the right of suffrage upon negres-such
is not the case, That it gives the right of
suffrage to aliens, in the face of the federal
constitution, and in violation of law of
Congress, is sin enough without imputing
that of which the Constitution is innocent
But even that ceases to be the sin of the
Kansas Convention since it has been as.
sumod by Congress in the acceptance OF
its constitution. Give the devil his due

WASHINGTON, April 10.

The report that the Senate Committee
on Commerce unanimously agreed to re-
port against all appropriations for river
and harbor improvements isincorrect. Mr..
Hamlin did not agree to the proposition.
The joint committee of conference on
the Kansas bill met this morning, all the
members being present for the first time.
Mr. Green, on behalf of majority of the
Senate committee, submitted several prop
ositions amending the Senate bill, none OF
which proved acceptable to the House COM
mittee Propositions we're then solicited
from the House committee.
Mr.. English responded that at the next
meeting of the committee he would sub
NIT new bill, the precise character Of
which has not transpired, but it is under
stood to be proposition for a substitute
for the Lecompton ordinance, and that the
question of admission under the Lecomp-
ton constitution, with the amended ordi,
nance, be referred to fair vote of the
people of Kansas at an early day. If the
majority vote for it Kansas to come into
the Union under the Presidents proclama
ton. If against it, then the bill provides
for the formation of new constitution
whenever the population there equals the
number required for member in the u. s
House of Representatives. The commit
tee adjourned over till tomorrow.
There is some reason to believe that Mr.
Englishs bill will be agreed to in con
ference and passed

R6s- To-day, we lay before our readers
the speech of Gem Zollicoffer, on the
Kansas question, 1t is a close, compact
argument worthy of its author, and will
be read with interest even by those who
do not endorse its conclusions. The facts
developed in relation to the Lecompton
constitution, together with the policy of
the Administration in regard to its ac-
ccptancc, have forced upon our mind con-
Yictions at variance with those entertained
by the General but it is due to him and
to his constituents that his views should
be laid before the District, and we take
pleasure in contributing our share towards
its circulation, Differing, as we do, with
Gen. Zollicoffor upon the facts and con
illusions of his speech, it is gratifying to
know that the Kansas question is nowhere
an issue with the American party, all the
members of which are fully agreed upon
those cardinal doctrines which constitute
the distinctive features of Americanism.
