New YORK, September 10.-The
steamship Henry Chauncy, from As
pinwall on the first, brings only $500
in treasure. Thousands of people are
leaving the Isthmus of Panama, and
the merchants are generally closing
the little business left. Great depres-
sion prevails. The merchants do not
do business enough in one day to pay
their daily taxes.
The Cocoa Island treasure seekers
had arrived back.at Panama after ten
months fruitless and expensive search.

Special Dispatch to the Appeal
KEoKUK, Iowa, September 9.-The
Commercial Convention has ad'
Journed. The proceedings were any.
thing but satisfactory to the Missis-
sippi, Tennessee, Louisiana or Ar.
kansas delegates. There was literally
nothing done for the Tower Missis-
slppi or the States bordering thereon.
The banquet tonight will develop
nothing. We must look to the Louis
VILE Convention, which by intelligent
gentlemen here is considered the le-
gitimate succession of the Memphis
Commercial Convention, the only
gathering of this kind from which we
have yet realized any direct benefit.

The LEGISLATURE.
The Bogus Members How far they
are Authorized by Law.

The Union and American Is follow
ing up its charge of bogus members
in the House of Representatives with
the requisite proof. The newly elect
ed Legislators should look into the
subject and be prepared to act under
standingly. We see no reason why
the needed reform should not be in
the Legislature. We repubiish as fol-
lows:
The Press and Times asserts that
1.-THE amended Constitution of 1865 y
provides for an increase Of nine men,
bers in the House Of Representatives,
and that the eighth section of the
schedule to the amendments proposed
by the Convention of January, 1865,
modified that provision of the Consti-
tuition of 1894 which limits the House
of Representative to seYenty-tive
members. The eighth section Of the
schedule simply modifies the appor-
tionment act of February 19, 1852. It
does not say one word about modify
ing the fifth section of the second ar
ticle Of the Constitution, which pre-
scribes the manner of a@portionIng
Representatives among the counties
and districts, as well as fixing the
number of which the House of Repre-
sentatives shall be composed. That
section of the Constitution of 1894
stands in full force and virtue to-
day. If the eighth section of the
schedule provides for any addition
al members of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes permanently, 1t provides
equally for permanent elections by
g general ticket But, says the
Press and Times, "there was a spe-
cial reason in 1865 for providing for
the election of the Legislature by gen.
eral ticket" And there was "spe-
cial reason y for increasing the num-
Der ofmembers of the House Of Rep
resentatives. The election by general
ticket was to enable men to get into
the Legislature from counties in which
they had not been for months and
in which they would not get single
vote. The addition to the members
