To THE PUBLIC.-We have organic
ed society for the purpose of selen-
tiiic research, known as "The Ag-
assiz Club" We want to build up In
Emporia a good museum OF natural
science; also, through discussions and
lectures, to delvelOp land disseminate
scientific knowledge.
We respectfully inyite all persons
willing to work in this field, to join
our society; and we also solicit dOna-
tions of all articles suitable for such a
Museum rs we contemplate. Among
them are specimens of metals, ores,
minerals, fossils and casts, with such
labels as will indicate the locality
whence taken; animals stuffed or pre-
served in alcOhOl; insects botanical
specimens; and any and all objects
calculated to illustrate scientific truth.
The Board of Regents has placed a
commodIous hall at the disposal of the
society. Vast numbers of interesting
specimens are scattered in private
hands, and doing little service to any
body. We respectfully request the CO.
operation of all persons interested il
scientific progress. II. i. NORTON,

l. A law may be SO completely at
variance with some constitutional pro-
vision as to be absolutely and under
all circumstances void or it may be
valid as to some classes of cases and
void as to others; or It may be fairly
susceptible of two constructions, one
of which conflicts with, the other
in harmony with the constitution.
.. In the first class of cases, the de-
cisions would be uniformly against the
law and all rights claimed Hereunder;
in the second, tn ~ would vary with
The class of the case for which the sup
port of the law was invoked; while in
the third that construction which sup
ports would be preferred to that W hich
destroys the law.
3. Section Al of chapter 100 OF the
laws of 1872, which purports to grant
to cities of the second class power In
all cases of insufficient levy or assess
ment, to re-levy and re-assess, may be
placed in lhe second class OF laws
above mentioned.
4. Purporting to cure all defects, IL
cures all within the power of the legis-
lature to cure.
8. Though containing no restrictions
on the power TO levy taxes, 1t Is not in
conflict with section of article XII Of
the constitution.
g. Where the original purpose for
which the power OF taxation Is invok-
ed, is one of the ordinary purposes of
municipal government and within the
powers granted, and where there is no
fraud or oppression in the creation OF
the debt or burden, and no inequality
and injustice In the appOrtionment of
the tax: Held, that the legislature can,
by subsequent enactment, cure any de-
feet in the proceedings to collect the
tax which it could, in the first instance
by prior enactment, have made imma-
terial.
Z. The city of Emporia, city of the
second class, was authorized to i'm
prove its streets. 1t caused one to he
guttered curbed and macadamiZed. 1t
attempted to assess and collect the cost
thereof from adjoining lots, but failed,
owing entirely to the fact that no esti-
mate of the cost had been made by the

prior to the contracts therefor. Sub
scquently, by general law, the legisla-
| ture authorized q re-asSessment and re-
levy by cities of the second class in all
cases of prior insufficient assessment:

defect caused by the omission of the
estimate, and that the council cOulC

who has been considered for some years
past one Of the staunchest hackers OF Gov.

which intimates that Mr.. Clark has been

Clark has not given any cause for such
rumor as the Bulletin circulates. He is not

ConyentiOn Notes.

Notwithstanding there was very large
number Of people assembled around the
State House yesterday to observe the pro.
ceedings Of the convention. there was no
disorder. No one saw any necessity for a
police officer. and although some Of the
most important public and some Of the
most excitips private interests were soon to
he Determined. there was nothing to in
dicate any other sentiments than those Of .
desire 20 perform duty or abide by con-
clusion arrived at by representatives chosen
by the people.
In many of the wards there were dis.
putes and inlecision on the right Of certain
delegates to seats, but angry voices were
not heard, and only the decision Of the
committee ON credentials desired. That
body will report to- day, and then, no doubt,
perfect harmony will prevail.
Inside the rail, oven before organization
orde. was perfect. only delegates were first
admitted, but to Mr.. Hillmsn the reporters
are indebted for arrangements for their con-
venience, without which they would have
been very uncomfortable.
The necessary preliminary business was
easily arranged by Colonel Lewis. the
chairman, and My. Qaote, the secretary of
the parish committee. assisted by Mr..
Charles A. Bsau,e, and the election Of Mr..
Herbert put the convention in working con.
dition.
Nothing particular was done except the
sppoiutment Of the two necessary commit
tees on organization and credentials. and
their report to day will inaugurate tho real
work.

The Ep(sc opniiau Cosvenrieo.

The New York Sun has an account Of the
proceedings Of the first days session Of the
Protestant Episcopalian Convention, COM
menced in that city Oh Thursday last. The
Rev. DIR. James Cfaik, of Louisville, was
chosen chairman. The following named
gentlemen were present as delegates from
this State: William F. Adams, John p.
Girault, Samuel S. Harris, w. T. d. Dalzell,
James Mcconnell, J. c. Moncure, John A.
Campbell and George w. Race.
The lay members Of the convention largely
outnumbered those of the clerical profes
sion, and the lawyers found their way there,
as they have entered farmers oranges and
will attempt to enter the kingdom of Heaven
The gentlemen from Louisiana were &C
cused Of making long speeches. The Sun
SAYS:
Mr.. George w. Race, = lay delegate from
Louisiana. in . long speech advocated
rule by which motions upon which the con
yention did not wish 10 debate. instead of
being tabled, should be "indefinitely post
pone.i" Such, he said, was manifestly the
proper course 60 pursue when it was found
desirable 20 crush q question So that II
would never come before the convention
again. Mr. Hill Burguin, d lay delegate
from the diocese of Pittaburg. hoped the
house would carefully consider its proposed
action before adopting anything like what
had come 10 be known as gag law" Free
discussion was essential TO the well-being
of tho cow vantiOn, and n" motion ior the
"indefinite postponement" of an awk ward
uuestion-intended, of course, 60 kill it
altogether-should be entertained for mo-
ment, The debate which ensued brought
out many different shades of feeling regard
ing ecclesiastical gag law, but the vote
fipalls taken showed large majority OF the
delegates opposed 10 II, ana 4hr. isaco .
pro pOsition was rejected.
Regarding liberal proposition submitted
by Governor Stephenson, of Kentucky, for
the convention to be an open one, which
met the approval of most Of the delegates
the Sun further says:
But nevertheless, the Rev. William F.
Adams, OF Louisiana. mounted the rostrum
in front of the presidents desk and deiiv-
cred a long speech in favor of secret discus
sion. Mr. Adams is tall, spare man, about
sixty years of age, with gray beard. whisk.
ers and moustache. He wears gold-mOunted
spec'ac,es, and speaks in weak. slngs"ng,
mono'onous tones. hardly audible to per
sons short distance from him. He offered
a resolution that whenever any subject
whatever came before the convention neces-
stating u discnssion of personal character
the house. on motion. might resolve tv sit
with closed doors. When Mr.. Adams sat
down several ecclesiastical delegates arose
to their feet with Che evident inten tiop of
opposing the motion A. that msment a
clock struck tour and . delegate moved to
adjourn.
The picture Of ths Rev. Mr.. Adams. here
drawn in words. is a Sun picture. and has
ia. characteristics of the New York falsiii.r;
l, is incorrect. and not . good likeness of
our young rector Of st. Paul's. Mr.. Race
may have made long speech; he is capable
of doirp snch a thing, but Mr.. Adelns is not
spare graybeard of sixty. with spec
taclem0unted nose.
