Mr.. EDITOR Il am proud to see

their hymns and songs all day long IN

birds l return home to rest my little
frame upon my little trundlc bed.
While in the land of dreams my heav-

merciful to spare me, kccging me safe
thus far.

Chas. Coffin, Esq, Walnut Ridge, Ark.
DEAN SIR Your letter OF the

Some time during the summer, in
d letter to you on this and other
matters, / gave my convictions then
hat it would be unwise to adopt it,
2sfection and study since that timo
strengthen this conclusion
The proposed amendment (Acts
of 1879. page 149) seeks to prevent
any future legislation from provld-
ing for the payment of certain
bonds therein named, issued under
different acts of legislatures hereto
fore. :.
These bonds are legal, and bind
ing, or they are not. If they are
legal, they evidence contracts which
under art. /, sec. 10, clause l; OF the
federal constitution cannot be II I'M
paired by any state laws This
prohibition extsnds to acts OF con-
yentlons, as well as to acts OF legs
4.lrns- states organic, as well Us
statutory laws Of states. In other
words, state constitutions, IN what
ever way made, cannot interfere
with contracts any more than lsgls-
