makes it optional with the Secretary of the
Treasury to redeem the greenbacks in bonds

the provision for redeeming bank notes in
greenbacks will check imitation, that is also o
delusion. What possible motive can there be
for that kind Of sham redemption? The
national bank notes are precisely as safe as
greenbacks, the credit of both resting alike on

note holders cannot suffer, and until it fails
there is no motive for Offering its notes in ex-
change for greenbacks. The fact that all the
national banks are compelled by law to receive
the notes of other national banks in payment
of their dues will always keep them at par
with greenbacks, and so long as they are of

THAT CONVENTION.

The House has recommended for pas
sage the resolution submitting the qnes-
ton of a constitutional convention ia
the people. II is the argument Of some
that the State has ouigrovE Its present
constitution, aud that there is a clamor-
Gus dem nd for new one. We are not
aware that people generally have ex-
pressed themselves in favor of it. We
10 not consider the moment opportune
Tor constitutional convention. The
State can be governed well enough for
several years to come, without new
ono. II Nigh: be well if the
constitution was altered in some minor
respects; but where arc the great defects
which are demanding immediate action
aud which are in any way "endangerins
The liberties of the people," or effecting
their interests? II the convention was
10 be called, il could net be held in less
time than too years. Ii it were hell, it
would entail great expense upon the
State, which would not DO commensurate
at present with the benefits TO be derived

Tho southern Kansas cvtson cnnvei,-
ton, about which considerable has been
said in the newspapers, met at Parsons
last Thursday. Quite number OF gen.
tlemen were present, and the proceed
inss consisted mainly Of comparison
OF personal experiences in the cultiva-
tion of Gotten in Kansas. A Mr.. Fer
hart said in the course of his rcrsarl;s ::
Twill give the statement of some of the
parties have ginned for one man, who
had 800 pounds, said HOraiscd 1t on o:c-
eighth OF an acre. Nr. Calvin raised IL
pounds on four rows, 20 feet long, and
says he don't know hcw much he would
have raised if he had in an acre, but at
all events, he Will try more this year.

whom bought the largest load | have

was raised in Il cotton country, and pro
aounces this ahead OF the one he came
from. Another. from Georgia, who has
a v,ry large estate there, says if he
could sell there, nc Would come here and
raise cotton.

others from North Carolina, Tennessee
and other states, and believe this coT;.-

Others stated similar facts and ex-
pressed similar views on the subjects

made . very able speechI support of the
measure, setting forth some facts which

will be to our readers. The last census
disclOses the alarming fact, that Of tho

Ia sixteen States of the Union one-haif
of the voters ''have not knO Wedge
enough Of reading and writing TO make
either of practical advantage in receiving

condition OF things is growing worse IN

figures of the census do rot lie, it is Ger
,ainly time that The nation should step
in ..and do ali in its power 10 promote
education and bani.h such ignorance
from the land. To accomplish this mo-,
only vas; sxms of money arc required,
but, possibly, something in the way OF
more stringent legislation. But this las,
idea in not suggested in the bill. Its aU-
thor replied to the objection, that this
fund distributed among all the States
aud Territories and the District of Co
!ambia would be bui pi,,anee tor each,
tina; the expenditures OF any given sum
''wolld lead to the expenditure Of ten or
twenty times the amour; in the localities
where this slight expenditure may be

Mr.. Hoar presents sone interesting
statistics az the iliiteracy %! the people
Of the States aud Territories, which have

Gen. Sherman replied, under same
date, as follows: "Under call of the
interior department at Chicago, you
will be justified in collecting the mos,
effective force possible, even if you draw
cavalry from Fort Riley by railroad to
Cheyenne, to march to Red Cloud agen-
cy, st, iking every party of Indians that

Although the latter plan OF divisioa
has been recommended by many of the
papers of the east, we are inclined TO
,hini; that the people of Contra! and
Western Kansas would prefer the diviS-
ion provided for in the majority repor,
Of the Senate committee. As newspa-
pers and men generally arc regulating
their opinions on apportionnent by
their individual interests, il is only right
that the Western people should also look
after their own interest, and that can be
better subserved by the first than The
second plan of arper;ionment. We hope
our Western members will vote for the
frs. plan, as We think ii their duty so
TO do.
BY the second plan OF arroriionment
Col. Phillips and Col. Cobb are thrown
into.the same district, and if tina. should
se finally settled upon, one or the other
OF these two gentlemen, at the next elec-
ton, would have stand aside.
