WYASDOTTE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
There is to be reunion of the members of the
Convention which framed our State Constitution,
at Wyandotte, in 1859 Inquiries being
made for absent members. Doniphan County
had five members, viz: Robert J. Porter, John
W. FOrman, John Stiarwalt, Benjamin Wrigley,
and Z. NJ. Hubbard. The first named was Re-
publican, the others Democrats. Robert J. Por-
ter died not long after the formation Of the Con-
stitution, and before the admission of the State,
we believe, in I56O. John Stiarwalt has also
been dead many years. Beniaman Wrigley went
to Texas, about the beginning of the Rebellion,
and is also dead. John W. Forman is in Texas.
+. NJ. Hubbard is in the mercantile business, at
Highland.
Josiah Lamb, of Linn County, is placed in the
list Of unknown. He died in 1862. We served
with him in the Legislature of 1862, and remem-
Der reading of his death, the following Summer.
Here arises a question: Have the Democratic
members of that Convention any Just right to
rank as suchi In the Convention, they porsued
a course that amounted, at times, to disorganiza-
tiOn, and fought, step by STEP all measures that
the Republicans proposed to place Kansas up to
the spirit of the age. Because they were power
was Republican in spirit as well as in form, they,
rs s last resort, refused TO sign the instrument,
upon its final passage. They hoped thereby to
produce flaw which would justify Democratic
Congress in rejecting the Constitution, and re-
fusinG to admit Kansas as a Free State. BY re-
ference to the documents, it will be seen that
not Democratic name was signed to the Con-
stitutiOn. Therefore, they are not entitled to
any part in the honors belonging to the trainers
of the Constitution. Here their names:
Samuel A. Stinson, William Perry, John J..
Slough, Frederick Brown, William c. Mcdowell,
Samuel Nipple, Robert Cole Foster, Adam d.
McCGne, John Wright, Pascal S Parks, of Leav-
enworth County, (all dead but one or two); John
W. Forman, John Stiarwalt, Benjamin wrigley,
and E. NJ. Hubbard, of Donphan County; and
J. T. Barton, of johnson County.

This reminds us of one of Kingman's jokes.
The Brown County Union, little FIVE column
paper, WAS started in the latter part Of the sum-
mer of 1861, just when the long banking law,
submitted to vote of the people, was being
published 1t was to be published thirteen
weeks in one paper in each County, and it al
most filed the Union, TO the exclusion of read
ing matter. Kingman's story was, that Barnett
subscribed for ten copies of the UHioR TO encour-
age it, and he thought ii his duty TO read
the whole ten copies through and through, each
week. The first issue was filled with the bank
ing law, and every other issue, for three solid
months; and Barnett faithfully read his ten
copies Of the banking law, every week; "but,"
added Kingman, sit d-d near killed the poor
fellow! | actually pitied him."

1--WE regret to announce that the friends of Con-
gresham Morrill,. of Kansas who expected so much
from him, are likely ia be sadly disappointed. We
in common with Others, expected him TO at take
n high rank in the councils of the nation. Enough
has already been to satisfy the most incredu-
lous. that he is not only puppet in the hands
of the railroad monOpOlies without ability for
himself, but is also covert enemy Of patriotic
Administration. We shall vsntilate this more
fully, at an early day.

SCISSORS statistics, far taken, show a steady
decrease in the population and wealth of Hiawatha
and of Brown County. For years past through the

an undue power and influence in psblic affairs. Now
that their object is accomplished, they have neglect

THE ASSESSORS.

The assessors of the different townships
held meeting yesterday morning for the
purpose of arriving at some general base
on which to assess real and personal prop
erty the present year.
E. FL. Hunt, of Port Byron, was selected
as chairman, and County Clerk Donaldson
foficiated as secretary. All the assessors
were present with the exception of Silas
Drury, of DrHry township, and P. n. Che
ney. of Rural
An informal conversation ensued, during
which 1t was agreed that the assessment of
last year should become the basis by which
the listing of the present should be con-
Quoted.
1t was decided to assess hogs at the rate
of % per 100 pounds, in place of 81, as
was the case last year, and reduce the as
sessment on sewing machines from SIS to
$40 apiece.
The question of taxing mortgages was
then taken up. The difficulty of locating
such assets was admitted. Finally it was
agreed to authorize the clerk to bring the
matter before the supervisors at their next
meeting and request the board to appoint
some competent person whose duty it
should be to examine the records and trace
the mortgages to their proper source. The
meeting then adjourned.
The assessors of the different townships
during the present year are given below:

LAST LETTER.

1t was announced at the time William
Heilwagon was executed for the murder of
his daughter-in-la law, Dora, that he had
written letter to his wife. The epistle
was given to the Sheriff with instructions
to give it to Mrs. Heilwagon after his death
on the scaffold. The letter was in Ger
man, and has been translated by Charles
Fiebig, of this city. In view of the fact
that it was his last letter on earth, the
translation is given below:
Catherine Heilwagon-I hope yen will
do everything toward the small children,
that they will not be knocked around. and
that they will not be treated bad. Should
this be the case, then August and Johnnie
shall take care of them, and do as / have
written them. Then if they do that. God
viii bless them. 1t is pretty hard for me
that l have to leave them in this way, and
that I cannot provide for them any more,
but it is not my fault, but false swearing
and testimony they have done against me
to get me out of the way, and to save the
real murderer, so that he can have his
pleasures as he likes. If was at home
they could not have it this way. You know
well enough what a miserable life Otto has
led with his wife. You all know that
he swore that he would kill
her. When he came back the
first time he said he wished
that it was not so late or he would kill her
at once and return to Rock Island Yeu
also know that he intended to come some
night and go away again, 50 that no body
should see him, that he would be back to
the place that he came from, and the peo-
pie there would not know that he had been
away / know that you know a good
deal about this thing, but no. it has to be
showed on to me. You did not stay the
When Otto came here the last time he said
he believed he had told the truth; that
had told him that Dora was sick; but it
was he who said to me / should. not
say anything to his boarding boss
that Dora was. If he had told the
truth, and not made me out liar, / could
have forgiven him and kept quiet, and
would have taken everything with me to
to the grave, but now | cannot do it.
/ have to speak; suffer death innocently.
it was the same way with Annie; ten per
sons could remain in the house where
Dora was, and ten in the house where we
were and speak to each other, and see
whether they can hear from one house to
the other. And so there are other things,
but ] will not bother my head about it
any more The time is soon out for me to
leave this world. | am glad that it is so,
for / am tired of life, and no body can keep
meEany longer in this world. If person
is treated in this way from his own family
as / have been, it is no wonder he gets

close now and wish you all good bye,
and hope we will see each other again in
better world, where those who are good
will be rewarded and those who have not
righteousness will be punished.
