the part Of the augusta factory because il is in their
power to obtain several cents more per ward on all the

Constitutional Convention.

The convention has spent good deal of
its time in smoking out the military ope-'
rations of our State officials, and in getting
at the actual financial condition Of the
State We refer to some OF the facts thus
brought to light in another column. 1t
appears, from statement laid before the
convention by the Auditor, that, of the
100000 State bonds authorized by the
extra session to be issued, 81 ,020, 400 have
been sold, realizing $S64,4i0, all of which
has been paid out except $4,000. The
entire State Indebtedness, including these
military bonds sold, amounts to 81 AGO.
900.
Resolutions approving the Presidents
modification of Fremonts proclamation
and Camerons report were tabled, as mat
ter impertinent to the business of the
Convention. Wentworth advised demo
Gratis not to be precipitate. He said a'year
ago the republicans were in a large majority
in this State, but in this Convention they
had but ID members. If democrats were
determined to shoulder this administra-
ton, he couldn't help i!-but God help
them
An amendment TO Art. Ill Sec Of
the Consultation has been adopted SO as to
do away with the State census. A propo.
sition to expel the negroes from this State
was unanimously tabled After a long
discussion, the pay of members of the
legislature has beef fixed at 81 per day
Bills, instead of being read by their titles
and hurried through the legislature as at
present are 10 be read at large three times
| on three separate days before they can
pass This about covers the actual work
in the way of amending the Constitution
thus far
The actual condition Of affairs between
the Illinois Central r. X. Co. and the State
has also been brought out. The Auditor
makes statement showing that the State
has received from the road since December
], 1850 and up to June ii, 1861, on &C,
count Of the seven per cent. gross earnings,
the sum of $694,626 %, and there is now
due $4,000 A communication from Mr.
Osborne, President of the road, was en-
closed, stating that the full amount due
the State would soon be paid in. The
company excuse their tardiness in report
ing their earnings and paying up, by saying
they have large unadjusted claims against
the State and L. S. for transportation,
which must be adjusted before they can
ascertain their gross earnings.
