at Chincoteague Island, Va, on Saturday
last, resulting since in the death of Stephen
Pollitt The latter, it is stated, was in
debted to J. J. English, proprietor of the
Ocean House, and had made frequent prom
ises to pay his bill, but failed to do so. A
week before the shooting English sent for
Pollitt and compelled him to sign a note
for the amount, payable in week. On
Saturday last English saw Pollitt approach
ing the hotel and inquired if he had the
money. Pollitt replied in the negative,
whereupon English took down gun, delib-
erately aimed and fired at Pollitt The
charge of heavy buckshot entered Pollitt's
abdomen, and he fell mortally wounded in
the arms of a friend. English surrendered
himself but before reaching Drummond-
town Jail managed to escape.

RECLAMATION OF SWAMP LANDS.
HON. A. c. MATTHEWS on TIE PROPOSED
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
PIrrsplELp ILLINOIS,

August IL, 1873.
Hon. John H. obery, Cairo, III.
DEAR SIR Your letter of the 10th inst,
in which you ask me to give the reasons
why it is necessary to amend the constitu-
tion as proposed by the last General Assem-
bly,, and my views as the author Of the
resolution, as to the legislation needed when
the amendment is adopted, is at hand and
respectfully noted.
The proposed amendment reads as fol-
lows:
"The General Assembly may pass laws
permitting the owners of lands
to construct drains, bitches and levees for
agricultural, sanitary and mining purposes,
across the land Of Others, and provide for the
organization of drainage districts and vest the
corporate authorities thereof with power
to construct and maintain drains, bitches
and levees. and keep in repair all drains,
bitches and lcvees heretofore constructed
under the laws Of this State, by special as
sessmcnt upon the property benefited
thereby.
To those familiar with the legislation
and decisions of our Supreme Court on
this subject, an explanation is not at all
necessary. So thoroughly were the men,
bers Of the last General Assembly convinced
Of the importance of the amendment, that
there We're recorded against its passage bu,
two votes in the House and none in the
Senate, and this Notwithstanding the fact
that the General Assembly has no power
to propose amendments to more than one
article of the constitution at the same ses-
sion, nor to the same article more than once
in four years. This of itself would ndi-
, , ,,,2 the importance Of this measure, iny
General Assembly in 1874 (sec Statutes of
1874, page 4a9), under the supposed powers
contained in Sec, 81, of Art. 4, of
the Constitution Of 1870, passed
a general act entitled IAN act to provide
for the construction of drains, bitches. lev.
ecs and other works, containing some fifty
six sections, providing for the construction
of drains, bitches, levces and other works,
for agricultural and sanitary purposes, to be
paid for by a system Of special assessments
made against the land benefited by the
works in proportion 10 the benefits, and not
against other land. BY reading that act
carefully, it will be observed that all
vitalityit has is the right to 90 upon
and tax the lands benefited to
pay for the construction of the work.
This right our Supreme Court has decided
can not be exercised under Sec. 81, Art. 4,
ofthc present constitution, in three different
cases. The first went up from Crawford
county, and was decided in 1875, and can
be found in Slst Ills. Rep. pg, 40, Up
dikcsvs. Wright Another case went up from
this county which has not yet been report.
ed. The first case however covers the whole
ground, and the fact that rclicaring was
had, and the case rcargued by counsel,
among the ablcst In the state, and the former
decision adhered to and rcaiiirmcd, gives
the opinion more weight and makes II abso-
lutte authority unGer our laws. The court
| goes further and holds that, under Sec. D,

for the amendment, or it will be
defeated. Every voter voting, failing to-
vote on the subject, will be vote against
it. The papers throughout the State, how
ever, are taking this subject up, and in that
way the people will get to understand it,
and, when they do, the amendment will
pass beyond Question. A defeat at the
coming election will be the cause of great
damages to farming interests in many parts
of the State. AS before stated, amend
mcnts to the samearticle cannot be proposed
oftencr than once in four years. II this
proposition should be lost no other
amendment on the subject can be proposed
until 1881, and cannot be voted upon until
1888, with everything in our favor and
without opposition. In the mean time,
real or supposed necessity for other amend
ments may arise, and as amendments to but
one article can be proposed at the same
session, and as this one will have had its
day in court, the result will be its defeat
for many years to come, if not for
all time. The parties interested will
have become disheartened and the works
constructed will have gone to decay for the
want of proper repairs. The legislation on
the subject will not be difficult Before the
decision of the Supreme Court in S76, we
supposed we had substantially the legis-
lation that will be needed in the event of
the adoption Of the amendment. The legis-
lation should not be voluminous; should
be simple in character and easy of execu-
ton. We supposed our constitution was
sufficient, and that the legislation of 1871
would, with an occasional amendment, be
all we would need " enable us to reclaim
our swamIs and overtlowed lands and drain
our IA, ones. In other words II the
amendment should DO adopted our consti-
tuition will be what we supposed it was on
| this subject of drains, and if the act of 1871
should be re-enacted the statute will I've In
fact what We supposed it was, and with
some additional amendments, will answer
the purpose and meet the public demauE
AS before stated, the fear is that the interi-
or counties will be Indifferent on the subject,
and that as a consequence there will
! be default against us. Sec. 3 of the act
| Of 1911 amendments 70 constitution = =. ~
provides that the several COUNTY clerks shall
send out with the election notices, required
by section 40 of the election laws, notice
that the amendment will he submitted to
vote Of Tho t'edpe winch notice shall set
forth in full the proposed amendment.
There is danger that this will he overlooked
by some of the clerks, and hence I invite
your attention to it. In conclusion allow
me 10 add, that the whole case can be stated
in word. All our legislation on the sub
jet has been declared unconstitutional.
The lands to be reclaimed in round num-
bers amount to 100000 acres. They are
worth over $l2,000,000 and will be worth
when reclaimed $j2,OOO,O0O, an increase
Of $40,0O0,00O over their present value.
These lands cannot he reclaimed except by
the adoption of the proposed amendment.
Shall it be done! Yours truly,
a. G. MATTHEWS.
