The State Constitutional Convention Is 10
reassemble at Albany tomorrow. and viii meet
under very gloomy and depressing circum-
stances. The radical majority, AFTER sneakng
oul Of the responsibility Of presenting the
question Of free negro suffrage distinctly to the
voters OF the State, find themselves neverthe-
loss repudiated by the people and kicked out
OF power. All the theories upon which they
attempted 10 base the new constitution have
been rejected, and the only result they have
accomplished after whole summers work has
been the reversal Of their majority Of fourteen
thousand 10 minority Of over forty thou-
sand, and The disastrous overthrow Of their
party in the State.
But this is not ALL The Comptroller Of the
State has, we understand. come to the conclu-
sion that he has no legal authority TO pay the
members OF the Convention their per diem.
With the adjournment before the election, he
holds that the right Of the members to draw
pay ceased: and this Il even more severe
blow to the Convention than the forty odd
Thousand majority rolled up against them by
he people OF the State. Their defeat they
could ssssd, but TIE stoppage Of thelr supplies
is fatal to them. They will no doubt immedi-
atcly adjourn and 20 home 10 await the action
Of the Legislature; and the hope Of the people
win be that such set Of dishonest driveller
may never be allowed 70 assemble again.

ANOTHER WESTERN WoNDER The
greatest wonder in the State of Iowa,
and perhaps any other State, is what
they call "Walled Lake." in Weight
county, twelve miles Of the Dubuque and
Pacific Railway, AMI about one hundred
and fifty miles west of Dubuque city.
The water is from two TO three feet
higher than the earth's surface. In most
places the wall is ten feet high, width at
the bottom fifteen feet, at the top five
feet
Another fact is the size of the stone
used in its construction the whole is of
stone, varying in weight from three tons
down to one hundred pounds.
There is an abundance Of stone in
Weight county but surrounding the
lake, to the extent of five and ten miles
there are none.
No one can form an idea as to the
means employed to bring them to the
spot, or who con.tructcd it.
Around the entire lake is belt of
woodland, half mile in width, composed
Of oak :; with this exception the country
is rolling prairie. The trees, therefore,
must have been placed there at the time
Of building the wall.
In the spring Of 1856 there was a great
storm, and the ice on the lake broke the
wall in several places, and the farmers in
that vicinity were obliged to repair the
damages to prevent inundation The
lake occupies n ground surface of 1900
acres, depth of water as great as % feet.
The water is clear and bold soil sandy
and loamy.
1t is singular that no one has been able
to ascertain where the water comes from,
and where ii goes to, yet it always re-
mains clear and fresh.

"One day, when she was running across

but she held up pan of hot dish water
between them, and split it all over his

help him up, and the hair was moistened
by the hot water so that it came off

We are laboring under the difficulties

pleasant trip recently made TO that far.
famed and immortal spot, "Monnt Yer
non.' On the morning of the 2Sth ult.,
(Which was quite pleasant one for this
season of th" year, a small party composed
of people from different parts Of the coun-
try found ourselves mingled together upon
the little Steamer "Wawaset" bound up
the Potomac, for the place above NAMED.
Ii was but short time and we were
safely landed rp'n that soil made sacred
by being the final resting place of the
'iathcr of our county, each one anxious
ly hurried to the different points made so
attractive by the fact already mentioned;
it certainly was the most interesting place
havc..ever visited, and | am satisfied
that Il majority if mt all present were
impressed with the same feeling, as they
gathered up some little relic to bear away
and cherish with a certain degree Of that
iondness and affection which every true
American heart has for even the memory
of that hero whose body has made this
spot so beloved. One could hardly i'm.
ag'ne as they tread the soil which his
footsteps have made so hallowcd and gaze
upon the waters Of the beautiful Potomac
that there could lie more delightful
place selected for n home and "a final
burial place than this one chosen by him.
The "manslon' which when occupied by
him was no doubt called an elegant one,
at the present day can hardly be con-id-
cred as such, although there are of course
some things about it that would attract
more attention than any other of
equal age, even when not consider
ing the f,ct that it was the home of
"Washing'on." But to close | will say
| think all were delighted with their
visit, and turned away contcntcd and
happy with the thought of having visited
that cherished spot where rest in peace
the ashes of him who has so well taught
us that it is good to be noble.
