Constitutional Convention.

Our latest news from the Con-
vention Is that it will not proba-
bly, adjourn before the 25th, con-
suming the entire fifty days from
It's commencement, which, con-
sidering the very small number
composing that body, seems to
Us like q great waste of time.
The articles passed, as far as
heard from, are, Preamble, Boun-
daries, Distribution of Power,
Administrative, Executive, Of
ficers and Amendments. On
Corporations, on motion of Mr..
Hannah the following new sec
ton was adopted:
"The Legislature shall not
have the power to establish or
Incorporate any bank or bank
ing company, or monied lnstitu-
tion whatever, nor shall any
bank company or institution ex-
lists in the State, with the prlvi-
lege of making, issuing, or put
ting in circulation, any bill, check,
certificate, promlssory note, or
other paper Of any bank, COM
pany, or person to circulate as
money"
On Suffrage and Elections,
Mr.. EIdridge proposed to amend
the section giving the right of
suffrage to the people, by strik-
ing out the word male. The
vote to strike out stood: Ayes

Civil Service Reform.

At the late Republican State
Convention held at Springfield,
Illinois. there was not one Fed
eral officeholder in attendance as
a delegate, and not dozen Of
ticeholders of any description in
a convention of nearly 400 men,
bers. This is certainly hopeful
for the success of the policy Of
civil service reform, and strong
evidence of the beneficial effect
of the Presidents suggestion to
his officeholders to mind their
own business, and not to use
their official positions as the
motive power to party machine
ry. Another important step in
the reform Of party politics
would be the exclusion Of office
seekers from participation in
nominating conventions, or from
meddling with the primaries, the
inevitable tendency Of which is
to political corruption, and has
made of party politics ga filthy
pool" When party caucusses
are under the control of the pa
triotic and disinterested portion
Of the citizens, instead Of time
servers and selfseekers who use
party machinery to defeat in
stead Of to express the popular
will, then will party organiza-
tion subserve the legitimate and
useful purpose Of maintaining
proper checks and balances ne
cessary in apopular government
to restrain the natural tendency
to anarchy and the assertion Of
physical force; mob rule, the
most lnexorable form of arbitra-
ry rule.

tosuspend the rule against smok-

saying: "Apart from the obvious

before such an assemblaga, and

men made violent speeches on
the reception Of the Mayors
message, and the threat was
made to smoke in spite of him.

ton exist in the State, with the
privilege Of making, issuing or
putting IN circulation any bill,
check, certificate, promissory
note or other paper, or the pa
per Of any bank, company or
person to circulate as money"
Upon this the Mtelligencer vi
tuperates as follows: "It is not
to be wondered at that one might
be found servile enough to in
troduce such a cut-throat clause
in the interest CD of few Two
per cent. Shylocks, who have
already got this Territory fiat
on it's back, and are thirsting to
drain the last drop of its blood,
and then die themselves on the
inanimate corpse of their victim.
But the wonder is that eight out
of fifteen intelligent men would
vote to adopt such short sight
ed and unreasonable provision,
as it seems they did"
Our wonder is, that seven out
fifteen intelligent men should be
so far behind the intelligence of
the age, or so false to the rights
of the people, as to vote against
prohibiting the Legislature from
comforting special privileges up
on accumulated wealth to ag-
gregate itself by authorizing it
to put in circulation as money,
and draw interest upon, the ev-
idence of it's own Indebtedness,
or that any editor Of a newspa-
per could be found so ignorant
of the primary principles of po-
litical economy as to mistake
special protection for free trade.
The proposition introduced by
Mr.. Hannah and adopted by the
Conventions is a literal transcript
of clause in the constitution
first formed for Wisconsin more
than thirty years ago. We have
not the documents before US, but
we are under the impression
that the constitutions of both
California and Oregon contain a
like prohibitory clause against
charters to banks Of issue. If
not, they ought to. 1t is certain
that the Legislature Of neither
State ever Incorporated a bank
with the right to issue any form
Of paper to issue as money. Il
The Mtelhgencer, with strange
disregard for the logic of its po-
sition, further says: Men have
just as good 4 right under the
authority ola higher constitution
than that Of a State to incorpc-
rate together for purposes Of
banking as for any other legiti-
mate purpose" Most indubita-
bly,; and that they have done
and will continue)to do, without
let or hindranat, without any
special Legislation, and even in
States in which legislation is
prohibited. Without special le-
gislatlon bankers have the same
right to dispose of their wares
that merchants, manufacturers
and farmers have; to gi7e them
chartered privileges IN addition
to issue evidences of debt to cir
culate as money under legisla-
tive endorsement, has proved
disastrous to the people wherev-
er it has been tried, and is with
out a single argument to support
it on principle.

General Joseph Lane:


General Lane as a candidate for
.. S. Senator for Oregon, calls
to mind an interesting fact IN
his history which We have never
seen alluded to in public print.
That Is, how near he came to
the Presidency in 1860, when
Lincoln was elected by a little
more than one-third of the pop
ular vote. Of the electoral votes
Lincoln received 1SO, Brecken-
ridge with Lane for Vice Pres
ident) -, Bell 80 and Douglass
majority for Lincoln 3d.
From the States of California,
Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana,
New Jersey, Ohio and Oregon,
Lincoln received 65 electoral
votes, with the popular majori-
ties decidedly against him. Had
the Democrats run but one tick
ct in those States, they would
undoubtedly have been carried
for Douglass. That would have
defeated Lincoln and thrown
the election into the House. AS
parties were then divided, there
was an irreconcilable conflict in
the House which made an cleo
ton by that body according to
the constitutional mode utterly
out Of the question. Failing in
that, the only alternative would
be the election Of Vice President
by the Senate, from the two can
didates having the highest num-
Der OF electoral votes, to serve
as President for the te m. Those
candidates were Lane and Ham
lin, with "a large maj ajority OF the
Senate in favor Of the former.
This condition of affairs is what
3. f. Butler, Caleb Gushing and
other Northern Democrats anti
cipated, and for which they Ia
bored to defeat the nomination
Of Duglas, at the Charleston Con-
vention, expecting to lie reward
ed for their services if the plan
succeeded. George 3. Loring,
a confidential friend OF the gen
tlemen above named and now a
Republican member Of Congress,
gave us this explanation Of their
conduct in the Convention at the
time, as an evidence OF the fore
sight and sagacity of Butler, his
political mentor. But the con-
spirators over-reached them
selves and defeated their pet
project by dividing the Demo-
cratic vote in those States which
would have voted for Douglas
had there been no Breckenridge
ticket in the field: and then, to
emphasize their disingenuous-
ness, they went over zealously
to the Republican party, claim
ing as a merit what they had
done in pure selfishness.
We never believed that Gen.
Lane was consenting party to
any fraud or intrigue looking to
his own advancement. That he
honestly differed with Mr.. Doug
las in policy, we have never had
any reason to doubt. That he
has ever been faithful to all his
obligations as an American citi-
zen and sincerely desired that
the integrity of the Union and
the inyiolabillty Of the constitu-
ton be maintained, we sincere
ly believe. His retiracy to pri-
vate life and the unpretending
,nodesty with which he took up
his daily duties as humble far
mer, are as noteworthy incidents
N his life as his proudest achieve
ments in the field or in the Sen
ate.

Two Nc dern Fables.

Two Nc dern Fables.
The little girl fell with pitch
er, and cut her arm. She ran
screaming into the house, and
the neighbors all poured in. One
cried, "Put tincture Of arnica on
the cut, and give her some in
wardIy." Another, "No, use
Ponds Extract instead" A third,
"Nothing like Grandmother Bur-
nundy's All-healing Salve." A
fourth, "Ten pellets Of bella
donna, alternated with ten Of
aconlte." And 50 on. In the
mean time, the mother, astound-
ed by the multiplicity Of advice
and vociferOus clatter sat still
and did nothing. The blood in
the mean while naturally coagu-
lated, and the mother tenderly
bound up the wound with q
scrap of nice old soft linen. In
a few days nature did its work
in the mastery way that she
always does things when she is
let alone, and the child was well.
Uncle Samuel, one day, after
indulging too freely in holiday
meats and drinks, fell sick at the
stomach, and had some gripping
pains that he sung out Justify,
and all the national household
jumped up astonished, and every
man asked his nsighbor, "What
is to pay?" Indeed the conster-
nation grew SO great that almost
every man neglected his business
and forgot to pay his debts.
Empires arose on every hand,
and a loud-mouthed chap cried
out, "He has taken too much
tariff, and must be purged lit
tie by free-trade salts" Another
burly fellow, grimed all over
with the smoke and dust of the
mine, shouted, "Give him some
silver pills, the more the better
it is the only specific Still
another was ready with his ad-
vice, "Away with your non
sense! what he wants is plaster
of greenbacks all over him, and
that'll do the business for him."
A fourth exclaimed, "True
enough, he does want a plaster;
but it should be made Of three
sixty-five bonds--a sure specific
A fifth adviser sprang up, "Gol-
old is the stuff. 1t looks just as
good as gold, and the patient
will imagine it is gold pills he is
taking. They'll fix him up right
in a ijiffy." So they went on
