disqusiifying men to vote, on account Of
crimes committed, except by legal trial
aud conviction.
When the Constitution declared that
the Legislature might disqaslify persons
convicted, it absolutely forbade the dis
qualifying Of persons not convicted !;
according to the well-known maxim,
Erpressio tvaitsS, erc1uSio alterius est ::
and also, because, giving to al white
men over twenty-one years Of age the
right to vote it eonfers on the Legisls-
tuFe only the power to disausliiy those
thus Invested with the right, who may
be convicted of crime.
Are we at liberty TO suppose thst the
Convention meant TO confer this Inn
mense and odicus power on the Legisla-
ture? Did they say that they meant TO
give the General Assembly the power to
annul these great provisions Of The Con-
sdtution that they meant to give them
tue power 70 change the Constitution,
and that in its most essential provisions?
Must not q decent respect for the Con-
vention compel US to hold thst it in
tended oaly. to empower the Legislature
to do all the Constitution allowed, TO
legislate ia ftTtter0ncs Of the provisions,
fundamental in their character, which
we have 9aoted? 1t is not said that
they shall have power to change the
Constitution. II is not said that
what they may enact shall be part Of
the Constitution, irrepssiahle by any
future l. legislature, Can We resort to the
vague bsIief that twas Intended to em-
power them to disqualify unconyicted
rebels, TO avoid the principle, universally
seted on by the courts, until the Supreme
Court of Tennessee went sstray follow
ing its fantastic fancies in the spacious
fsids Of imagination,n abandoning the
safe paths OF the law, precedent and prin-
ciple, and coming counterfeit law for the
SJate,-the principle which Is the sheet
anchor Of sound construction of statutes,
that sn Intention TO do violence to the
Constitution is never to be presumed,
nor indeed, to be allowed 10 prevail, if
there be any possible way Of harmonic
ing the new enactment with il?
Second, II the Convention intended TO /
empower the Legislature to change the
anu 20 Rnnul the rigat of
eighty Thousand men to vote, to whom
the Constitution guaranteed that right, !
aud from none of whom, under 1t, could
the right be taken away, except upon
conviction of an infamous crime, could /
il delegate that power 10 the LegisIa- |
lure?
We must postpone the consideration /
Of this question until tomorrow. The !
'raitened circumstances Of journalism /
lere limit US in space.

ST. LOUIS, August l7.-Dlspatehes
from Solomon City, Kansas, dated Sat
urdsy, say the Indians are reported to be
within twenty-eight miles of that city.
Their strength Is variOusly estimated al
from six to fifteen hundred, and they are
reported to have declared That they were
going to clear out the settlements ON
these streams. Women AID children
are coming in very fast, and the town is
really full of refugees. IL is credibly re-
ported that detachment of soldiers had
an engagement yesterday evening with
Indians, between the solomon and Sa.
line rivers, il which the soldiers were
whipped. Nearly all the settlers north
Of Asher creek are surrounded. We
know Of eight persons being killed, AID
excepting those surrounded, all the set
tiers for thirty miles along the Solomon
river have been driven of.

We were mistaken Is stating, yester-
day, upon information given us by the
attorney for the plaintiff In the case,
that In the suit Of Park vs. Thomss A.
Hamilton, in the United States Circuit
Court, one juror only was for acquittal.
We learn, from two of the jury, that II
was equally divided, elk against six. 1t
is due 10 Dir. Hamilton that he should
have the benefit OF this, and it 10 due also
to the person supposed to have stood
alone, and whose name was given Us.
The defence was, IS was stated, that Mr..
Hamilton seized the sugar as agent or
officer Of the Confederate States, 10y au-
thorIiy of Gen.. Slaughter. The intiu-
snces upon the single juror, of which we
spoke, could not have operated on half
the jury and this, especially, we rejoice
10 know,
