provide by amendment that, when an ex-
ira session of Congress is convened by ex-
ecutive proclamation, legislation during
the continuance of snch extra sessions
shall be confined to such objects as the
executive may bring before it from time
to time in writing. The advantages to
be gained by these two amendments are
obvious. One session in each year is pro
vided for by the constitution, in which
there are no restrictions as to the subjects
of legislations by Congress. Ifmorearere
quired, it is always in the power of Con-
gress during their term of office to pro-
vide for sessions at any time. The first
of these amendments would protect the
public against the many abuses and loss
of public moneys, which creep into APP
preparation bills and other important
measures passing during the expiring
hours of Congress to which, otherwise,
due consideration cannot be given

Assuming from the action of the last
Congress in appointing a committee on
privileges and elections to prepare and
report to this Congress constitutional
amendment to provide better method
ofelecting president and vice president of
the United States, and also from the necess-
ity of such an amendment, that there will
be submitted to the state Legislatures for
ratification such an improvement in our
constitution. | suggest two Others for
our consideration first, to authorize the
executive to approve,of such or any meas
ure passing the two houses of Congress
as his judgment may dictate, without ap-
proving the whole. the disapproved por-
ton or portions to be subjected to the
same rules as now, to wit: To be refer
red back to the house in which the meas
ure or measures originated, and if passed
by two-thirds vote of the houses, then to
become law without the approval of
the president. would add to this a pro-
vision that there should be no legislation
by Congress during the last twenty-sour
hours of its sitting, except upon vetoes,
in order to give the executive an oppor-
tunity to examine and approve or disap-
prove bills understsndingly. Second, to

Halls Gulch. in Colorado, was lntely
the scene OF an incident which recalls
Bret Hsrte's sketch of Tennessee Is
Partner. A vigilance committee, unable
to endure longer the trickery of two
knights OF the green cloth, solemnly sat
in judgment on the case in the rear of q
corner store, and after reviewing every
thing they could discover favorable to
the accused, came to the opinion that
the miners would probably be benefited
if there could be two funerals Accord
ingly. next morning string of men,
headed by u cart, ascended neighoor-
ing bill, where, fortunately. tree was
found, and in the mock pomp aud show
which usually attends the execution of
Judge Lynch's law, the two gamblers
were launched out on their respective
roads to land where vigilance com
mittees are unknown. The little com.
munity is now of the opinion that there
was mistake made as to one of the
culprits, and they are puzzled how to
make reparation. Some propose taking
up subscription to erect monument,
and others suggest naming the coffee
house after him.

The South has, in few instances,
had immigration agents employed in
the agricultural districts of Great Bri.
tain, trying to induce the under farmers,
or common farm hands, to try their
fortunes ON our fertile fields, where they
can get some hold on the land. As a
prominent Western journal remarks,
this GLASS works on from generation to
generation. through centuries, getting
poor wages, and never obtain hold on
the soil. Here, fow years of such
work 40 they perform in the old coun-
try, would make them independent
landholders. Several hundred of this
class of men have already been sent to
the fields Of the South, where they nrc
doing splendidly, md fast becoming
independent. In old England, they
have bnronial estates, and are really
bondsinen forever. Here they can rise
to the highest levels. Let our immigra-
tion agents teach them these things,
and they will come to the South as they

He believes that the whole of the

will make requisition upon the Eastern
banks for the withdrawal of S25, 900,
600 of their currency, to be distributed in
the Western and Southern States. as
provided by this ACT. He considers
the provision in the law relative to this
withdrawal AS mandatory upon him,
and not discretionary, and that the re
QUESTION on the Eastern banks will
place the currency question under the
law in such condition that Congress
will take immediate action upon the
subject, either by repeating the sixth
