Constitutional Conremston.

This body is now busily at work in
Philadelphia, getting up new Con.
stitntion. An old dciaulter to the
State from Philadelphia, named Sim.
son, who is member, wants "Al.
mighty God" put in the Constitution.
If it would make him pay the State
what he owes it, it would DO well
enough.
The committee on the Legislature
has submitted the following essential
points:
The report submitted by MacVeagh,
proposes biennial instead OF annual
sessions Of the Legislature, and care
fully prepared oath that the members
have neither given bribcs TO obtain
their election nor taken bribes to in
huenco their official action.
The scheme of apportionment is
based upon the system in tho reform
cd Constitution in Illinois Chat is, the
cnmnlniivn vystn,n), and Il 10 believed
that it will never secure q fair dis
tricting of the State without permit
ting the State to be divided and
"gerymandercd" to suit tho convent
encc of members of the Legislature or
OF political parties.
The compensation of members OF
the Legislature is fixed at 81 200 for
each period of two years, without al
lowing any further sums as members
of committees or pcrquisites Of any
kind.
Elections for members of the Leg
slature arc to be held only once in
two years, Senators holding for four
years, and Representatives for two
years.
A resolution has also been adopted
by the Convention calling upon tho
Commissioners OF the Sinking Fund
for n statement, showing what part of
the fund, If any, has been used other
wise than In extinguishing tho State
debt since the close of the rebellion,
and If 80 used, for what purpose. II
n full and honest answer is made to
this inquiry, flood of light will be
let in upon the "unexpended balance" +"
which has been the source of much
controversy, and, as is generally be.
lieved of much corruption.

REvELATIoSs.-The congressional
investigation of tbs Credit Mobilier
frauds, now going on at Washington,
has so far befouled no Democratic
member of Congress, except James
Brooks, of New York. His character
for honesty has becn badly damaged.
His moral degradation is not far be-
hind that of his loyal colleagues Amos,
Alley, Garfield, Scofeld, Wilson, and
in fact, all the professcd godly mem
bcrs who seem to be in the ring.
The much talked about Congress.
sionai prayer-mceting seems to have
been nothing more than club meet
ing for the purpose of buyin and ne
gotiating rail road stock and bonds
and declaring 800 per cent. dividends
and robbing tho government general
ly. The prayer meeting dodge was Ia
keep the ungodly away, so that the
righteous would not be disturbed
while distributing tbcir "divics" ant
stocks.

The Cold tm Kansas.

From parties just arrived from South
western Kansas, we learn that the
weather has been severe beyond en-.
dnrancc, and the suffering among the
hunters beggars description. A farm.
er who arrived in Wichita on Satur.
day reports having ovcrtaken team
loaded with buffalo skins, and on the
wagon, stiff with cold, sat the driver,
permitting the team TO wander at will
over the prairies, and entirely unable
TO help himself. He told the farmer
he was frozen, and compelled TO re-
main 10 the position bc was, and at
the same time beckoncd with his head
to tho wagon box, thus calling atten-
tion TO the contents of the bed. Upon
looking over the side of the box a ter
riblc sight was before him. There,
lying side by side, were two hunters
stiff in death, and as the wagon joltcd
over the rough plain, they knocked 10.
gether like two great icicles. The
gentleman who brought the news to
Wichita had his hands frozen so badly
as TO make amputalion necessary
shortly after his arrival. lie was un-
able TO give the names of any of the
unfortunate party. We also learn
from the Wichita Beacon that a party
of four went into camp on Moot's creek
twenty-five miles from timber, who
have undoubtedly perished. AT q
house twelve mites west of Wichita,
fifteen men arrived during the night
of the 23d, all frozen. Some of them
will losv their fcot others their handa
and fingers The road between Wch-
ita and the buffalo range is strewn
with buffalo hides and meat, abandon
