The Cos, of /. Conxent,ou.

!. The indianapolis Journal, in replying to
a cotemporary's objections TO a Constitu-
tional Convention on the score of expense,
says;
As to the expense of the Convention, our
opponents think our estimate $4,000 too
low 1t may be SO, but we. can assure it
that the expense of the Convention OF 1850
is no criterion to judge by. That body was
in session part of the fall and all winter. and
undertook the endless job of making Con-
stitution, instead of the light task OF amend
ing one. The Convention we contend for
may Of course act the fool and undertake Il
similar exploit 10 that of 1850, but it is very
unlikely. The Legislature has limited its
Gaty, in the act authorizing the causing OF
it, to "revising and amending and the
people (if their instructions be regarded
can limit it still more surely in the election.
We have no doubt that one month would
conclude its labo-s. IL so, the expense
would but very little exceed the low esti-
mate we made. 20 .a@ Hi4 - '7lal
"A Some of the Democratic papers are urging
against our argument that the Convention
would give US amendments two or three
years sooner than the Legislature can do 1t,
that "the amendments Of the Convention
must be submitted to the people by the
Legislature before they can be put in force,
aud this will carry the Conventions action
into the year following the next session of
the Legislature" We reply, first, that the
Convention can submit its amendments of
the Constitution to the people directly,
without regard to Legislative restriction
II il body with a narrower duty but
much higher one than the Legislature, and
the Legislature can't restrict its action
That question was raised in the Convention
of 1850, and il was decided to submit the
Constitution directly from the Convention,
and il was done, and the mode of submiss-
ion and the time Of enforcement are set forth
in the Constitution itself.
The Legislative enactment simply covers
the chance of aneglect on the part of the
Convention to prescribe a submission and
date of enforcement. Second, we reply,
that if the Conventions amendments are
delayed till put in force by a submission
from the Legislature, it will only make tro
years of delay, while a Legislative amend
ment must erceed four. And two years of a
| Constitution so amended as to permit every
locality to add to the States ''uniform sup
port" of free schools, as much as il needs to
maintain free schools uSefully, will save in
actual cash to those who have children to
| send to school, ten times the cost of Con.
vention. So We insist on a Convention lst
/ because il is the surest; 81, the spediest
and Sd, the cheapest remedy for the ruin
on, condition of our school system.

&. l.. Dunham ON Popular Sow
....ft-f l rrefUnfv

While member of Congress in 1850, Mr..
Durham gave -utterance 10 the following
sentiments in a speech in the House on the
admission of California: "Slavery is, I be-
lieve, clearly q creature of municipal law,
municipal regulation, the opinion of the
gentleman from North Carolina to the con-
trary notwithstanding. The laws Of Mexico
in force in these Territories when they were
annexed, without doubt, prohibited slavery
therein. Hence, unless these laws are in
conflict with the Constitution, slavery isnow
absolutely prohibited in these Territories.
The e can be no such conhiction unless il
be true, as asserted by Southern gentlemen,

the country in the vicinity of Denver City,
Capt. Garrison says that the bottoms of the
Platte and other rivers will produce vcgeta-

but the rains will not of themselves afford
certainty of moisture to insure crops. He
never saw finer vegetables than those now

New Cold Discoveries I'm Kansas.


TIE Kansas City Nsrs has gathered the
following particulars of important discov-
cries in the gold regions of Kansas, from
Mr. Garrison--presidentel the late Terrific
rial Convention in Jefferson Territory, who
has just arrived from Beaver City. His
statements are said to be reliable, and refer
chiefly to the mines on the head waters of
theAArkansas and Rio Grande: IS. .
In tse South Park, where the South Platte
rises, the prospecting that had been done
for the few days before Captain Garrison left
the yield was from to IS cents to the pan,
to the hand, where sluices were used. The
diggings, SO far as discovered, extend
some ten miles along the streams, and are
what is known as "gulch diggings," or
washings from the mountain streams.

THE ARKANSAS AND RIoGRASDE MINES.

Over the rim OF the basin, or park, from
the above diggings, some 25 miles Oh the
Arkansas and Rio Grande rivers, are situa-
ted the richest discoveries yet made, the mi
ners panning ont as much as 81 % to the
pan Of dirt. There are now about 1000
men employed in these diggings, and in all
localities on the head waters these rivers, the
same rich deposits seem to exist, all tending
in still farther direction southwest, to-
ward the Colorado. Upon the surface, in
all this extended region, the sscolor" is found,
Indicating beyond question, the great riches
of the mines now beginning TO be develop
ed. 1t is the opinion of the most experien-
ced miners, that the western slope is the
true golden locality of the Rocky Noun
| tains. .--t 1853. 0 H -.t
Coal beds have also been found through
out this region, in all parts that have been
prospected. .t...ftsl. .-.
! The South Park is on the summit OF the
Rocky Mountains, and like all others in
that great range is perfectly level county,
covered with blue grass, clover, and other
mountain grasses, spread out for an im-
mense area of country, like meadow, in.
tersected with streams of pure, limpid water
distilled and filtered from the eternal SHOWS
of the ranges surrounding. The sides o
the mountain are well wooded, and covered
with the "sarvis" or "June berry," anG
wild raspberries, where, Mr.. Garrison says
bucket full can be picked in an hour.

NEW QUARTZ vEISs AT GREGoRY's.


Within few days previous to Capt. Gar
rison's departure, new discoveries of quartz
veins had been made in Gregory's diggings.
This is the hard flint quartz; the former
workings have been in what is called " rot
ten quartz" The flint quartz are much the
richest Of the two. A specimen which
Capt. Garrlson had with him, intended for a
breastpin, was the finest specimen We ever
saw In those diggings heretofore. on com.
ing to hard quartz and parties, the miners
have desisted, but on penetrating this for
nation three or tour feet, small pockets,
like those of the Californis mines, have
been discovered, which are, some of them,
very rich, as high as $50 TO SIS being ta-
ken out of pocket 10 the pan. These
pockets, however, are not found every
where, but experienced miners will under
stand the character of such diggings. As
an aggregate, the Gregory mines are not
Welding as much as formerly, owing to the
| fact that all except the hard quartz seem to
/ be worked out, and having no means OF
crushing, the yield has fallen of. One
crusl.er, the first yet taken out, was met
a few miles this side of Denver City.
