Printing and Distributing the
New Constitution.

In respect to the printing ef the
new Constitution, F. P. Thompson,
State Printer, writes as follows:
zone hundred and thirty thous-
and copies have been printed, and
the presses are running constantly
to com plete the number necessary
to supply each registered voter with
o copy. Up to date have mailed
them to twenty-nine counties: The
post office here can handle the mat
ter withvery little extra assistance,
as am having the pamphlets done
up in four-pound packages, and ad-
dressed to the proper local post
offices or precincts; and as each
pamphlet is addressed to a voter,
the local Postmaster alone will
nave the trouble of handling each
separate copy. That the voters may
have all the time possible to read
and digest the new Constitution, /
am having them sent to the outside
counties first, leaving those in the
central portion of the State to the
last"

can be made. In case any genu-
inc representative OF the Chinese
Government should turn up, he
would be allowed an interview, but
put Off from time to time, the con.
spirators feigning sickness, etc.
The humbug was to have been
kept going as long as possible, and
when the denouement came the
two were to write a book giving
description of their travels and ad-
ventures, and then, taking the
back track, lecture again in the
same towns they had humbugged
before.
WHY IT FELL THROUGH.
The parties in Virginia who
agreed tv back the scheme with
$1,000 went down to San Francisco
to make arrangements, where they
were met by Hansbrough with a
proposition to throw Hull over
board. This finally led to a row
between Hull and Hansbrough,
and after the trouble the hackers of
the scheme thought it hazardous to
start out as long as Hansbrough
was in the secret, and Hull declined
to start with so unreliable and
tricky a person in the company.
The scheme then fell through and
Hansbrough turned it to his own
account and got money from the
Six Companies to 60 East witt
Chan PAX Kwai and manufacture
public opinion for the Chinese rs .
financial speculation. The idea
originally of Hull and Davis wa
to manufacture an all-eclipsing
gigantic hoax on the American
public, and have good time in thu
East at the expense of the parties
humbugged.
Before the start was made in Sai
Francisco the various representa-
tives of Eastern journals would bt
furnished with curious history o
the bogus Chinese noblemen ant
their mission, which would prepar
the East for them in advance. Th
only hitch in the programme wa
the trusting of the scheme to Hans
brough, whose contemplate cupid
ty got the best of his professional
honor, and, to use common ex
preston, the scheme was dished.
